Hey!

My boyfriend and I are looking for someone to look after our two furballs, Sardine and Prawn, from Thursday 10th April to Saturday 19th April while we’re off getting married (unfortunately we can’t take the cats 😞).

Sardine is an outdoor cat. He’s super sociable and chatty, though he loves a nap. He also enjoys Dreamies, drinking from water glasses, and the evening zoomies.

Prawn is only 1 year old but he loves going outside and exploring (and occasionally bringing back sponges from his adventures). He also loves stealing Sardine’s food, jumping on Sardine while he’s sleeping, and trying to open the treat box.

Both cats are very friendly and super cuddly (esp at night). They generally get on well, though Prawn can sometimes be a bit boisterous towards Sardine (and may need monitoring during ‘playtime’).

The flat is a two bed ground floor flat with a small garden, and it is situated on a quiet road in central Colliers Wood. The bathroom and guest bedroom have both recently been refurbished. The flat is a few minutes walk from Colliers Wood tube station which is on the Northern Line (it takes approx. 25 minutes to get into central London). There’s also tonnes of stuff to do nearby, from farms and walks to pubs, bars and restaurants. We are a pretty relaxed couple but we like to keep the flat clean and tidy.

We look forward to hearing from you! :)

Sardine and Prawn are absolutely gorgeous. Such fun personalities and a dream to look after. Miriam and Wills place is so comfortable and clean so we felt right at home. Can’t recommend enough
 
MAHALIA & LIZZY (May 2024 - 3 nights)
Sardin is absolutely lovely cat. Very good balance between self-sufficiency and desire to hang out with his hosts. Very kind and joyful guy! It was very easy to stay with Sardin, pleasure to feed him and play with him. Miriam gave us all the necessary instructions and answered all our questions. The house is very good located, clean and has everything needed. Thank you, Sardine, Miriam. Hope to see you again!
 
OLGA (Dec 2023 - 1 week 1 night)
Sardine is the most gorgeous, friendly, easy going and fluffy cat, and the flat is lovely. I really appreciated how clean it was for me and Miriam made sure I had everything I needed. Shops/cafes etc are just round the corner and the transport links from Colliers Wood are great. Would absolutely recommend :)
 
EMILY (Oct 2023 - 4 nights)
I had a wonderful time taking care of Sardine for three days in Colliers Wood. He's an absolute sweetheart with a fluffy coat, and he adores cuddles. The communication was excellent throughout. Miriam is a fantastic and kind host who also provided detailed information about how to access the property, Sardine's schedule, and habits. It was a pleasure to meet and have a chat with her. The flat is modern, comfortable, and conveniently located within easy walking distance of the tube, buses, ... MORE
 
PAOLA (Oct 2023 - 2 nights)
Thanks so much for your review. Paola was amazing and she kept the flat in excellent condition and gave Sardine lots of cuddles and attention. We’d love to have her look after Sardine again.
I have been so fortunate to have yet another amazing house and pet sitting experience, this time at Miriam's home in Collier's Wood, London. Miriam is lovely to deal with, with great communication and Sardine is a beautiful and friendly cat who was easy to look after. Their ground floor home is most welcoming, clean and cosy, and is within an 8-minute walk to the underground with quick and easy access to London. There are a range of major retail outlets nearby and plenty of good pubs and ... MORE

It was such a pleasure looking after Sardine - he's a really sweet cat, easy to care for, and nice to spend time with. Miriam was very communicative and left clear instructions along with some nice suggestions of things to do in the area. Great experience & would gladly housesit for them again.
 
DANIELLE (Aug 2022 - 1 week 4 days)
My 1st housesit and it was great! I chose Sardine, Miriam and Will because I could tell from the photo that I will like them and I was right. They are a lovely young couple. So easy going and relaxed. Sardine was easy to look after, no trouble. Morning and early evening feed. Sometimes he had half the wet food other times he finished it all, other times he would only nible on biscuits only. They have a lovely cozy home and the bed/room was really comfortable. They have a small garden ... MORE
