Olivia Expert House & Pet Sitter

Olivia: 55, Therapist

A mature and responsible single person who loves cats. I'm calm and confident and excellent with nervous cats.
Experienced house and pet sitter. I have a property management background and will keep my eye out for any issues that may crop up while you're away. Also a trained horticulturalist so I can take expert care of your houseplants and garden too.

DBS checked.

Excellent references.
Non-smoker.

I've had my own pets in the past too, 3 dogs, a cat and even some goats!

One of my dogs got to 16 years old.

The tabby in my profile pic is not mine but I look after him a lot while his owner is away and I'm his surrogate human!

Experienced with kittens, adults and very senior cats too and used to giving medication including eye drops, pills and liquid meds. Experienced with special diets.

Good with nervous pets too. The older black and white cat in my pics and in my profile video never used to get on anyone's lap.

I make sure your beloved pets are kept safe, well cared for, happy and entertained.
As much as possible while their human is away.

They will get cuddles, playtime and the continuity of staying in their own homes.

I've cared for lots of cats over the years including moggies, Norwegian Forest Cats, Sphynx, British Shorthair, Maine Coon and Bengal and Bengal mixes. and an Abyssinian crossed with a Russian Blue.
I've done pet and house sitting in the Caribbean and even during major building work. I tried my best to stop 2 inquisitive cats from jumping under the floorboards!

Past London pet sits in Wimbledon, Tooting, Wandsworth, Chiswick and Marylebone. See photos.

I'm predominantly interested in looking after cats.
Have a look at my reviews and let me know if you'd like to speak,
Happy to arrange a video call or pop over and show you ID, references, and DBS, and meet you and the pet(s).

Olivia was an exceptional cat and house sitter during our time away. She cared for Freddie with such love and attention, ensuring he was fed, cuddled, and happy. Her regular updates, complete with photos and stories, kept us reassured. Olivia went above and beyond with our home, leaving it spotless and well-maintained. She also took excellent care of our plants, even giving extra attention to the more delicate ones. Her communication was outstanding—proactive, clear, and thoughtful throughout. ... MORE

Olivia: It was my absolute pleasure to take care of Freddie and your lovely home!

Olivia did a great job looking after our cat Thor! She kept us up to date and reassured that he was doing well, was very thorough and even went so far as to get him new toys and treats! Would highly recommend

Olivia: It was my pleasure!

We can't recommend Olivia highly enough. The house was left perfectly and she looked after our cat so so well. We had regular updates and she (unfortunately) had to sort out a pet emergency, which again, she did brilliantly. I hope Olivia will come back and sit for us again!

CLAIRE (East Molesey England, Aug 2024 - 3 weeks)

Olivia: Thank you, Claire. It was an absolute pleasure to look after Pippa. She's a delight.

We were delighted to have Olivia come and stay during our 3 weeks away. Olivia looked after our cat Casper and the house and garden. She kept us well informed and sent photos and videos regularly. Casper was very well looked after and seemed very happy. The house was very clean and tidy when we returned. We also benefited from Olivia's sound knowledge of plants and the garden. We'd be happy to have Olivia back.
