About Me

Waltham Forest’s Best Cat-sitter. Simply the best...

As a catsitter, I am flexible in terms of time and appointments. Feel free to message me. I respond within a few minutes and very often available at short notice.

A cat-owner for more than ten years I own two black rescue cats—Waylon and Jasmine—who rule the house and have given me a now-butchered sofa through use as a scratching post. Waylon likes a toy mouse--ten minutes of activity wipes him out. They are both good friends with each other and share the food bowls.

About me--a catsitter since 2013, I am an old hand with cats. I can clear litter trays of your cat's poop and have it freshened; I can scoop vomit and hairballs, change water, feed and play with your cats so they have some stimulation. I have experience of administering injections into cats. I have encountered everything in catsitting, including rats and pest control.

I carry a cat-sitter's arsenal: poop bags, alcohol wipes, hand sanitiser and tissues in my cat-sitting kit. I am insured as a cat-sitter.

After an hour’s play with your cat, you will receive each day up to sixty photographs/movies of your cats in action. These are sent via WhatsApp'd to you, so you know your cat is always being cared for and is never alone with me around.

    Fabulous as always. Happy cats when I got home - they'd had a nice Tim whilst I was away. Even my older black cat, who is nervous with most people, comes in to see him instead of refusing to eat inside.

    I am a repeat customer of Tim's - even though both my cats aren't very friendly to strangers he manages to send me regular updates and videos every day, which is always very reassuring.

Our cat was clearly relaxed and happy when we came home. His communication throughout the process was excellent, and he was highly reliable. We would definitely recommend and book again!

    By about halfway through his 8 visits Tim had managed to get both of my timid, very stranger adverse cats to take treats from him. Easily one of the best catsitters in Walthamstow.

    Tim was great with our cat Ryu. He is a rescue cat and it was our first time away but Ryu really took to Tim and was very happy. Tim communicated with us well and every day we got photographs and videos of what Ryu was up to including playing and cuddles! Will definately use Tim again

    Tim's second time looking after James while we were away. I can safely say I wouldn't trust anyone else with the health and happiness of our cat. It makes relaxing on holiday a lot easier, knowing James is in safe & very capable hands. We look forward to hiring his services again in the summer, if he's free!

    As usual, Tim took wonderful care of our cat while we were away with photo updates every day. This was Tims first time looking after our new rescue cat. She is extremely shy especially with men but after a couple of days she warmed to Tim and trusted him enough to ask him for a belly rub 😻

    HIGHLY recommend Tim! His communication was great in the run up to and throughout his time cat sitting for us. Our cat was really happy to see Tim and they bonded quickly (which doesn't always happen for our cat!). Would definitely book Tim again!

    My first time booking a cat sitter! We asked Tim to look after our cat for 10 days while we were on holiday. Tim was fantastic, he sent daily updates via Whatsapp, always with lots of photos and video. He was great with our cat, she's usually wary of strangers, but Tim bonded with her and she was always happy to see him. He also bought new cat biscuits when the box ran out. I have absolutely no concerns booking him again for our future holidays.

    Tim is an absolute star! I was very nervous about leaving Spike with a new sitter, but Tim really made me feel at ease since day 1 when I contacted him. Communication was great throughout the whole booking and Spike was very happy. Can't recommend him more! So good to know I can rely on someone who is professional and very kind with Spike when Im away. Very happy!

    Tim has been looking after our four legged monster for a couple of years now. He is simply fantastic- providing us with many updates during whenever we are gone and really taking his time with our cat when he visits him. I would highly recommend him to anyone needing a cat sitter in E17!!

    Tim was fab. My kittens absolutely loved him and were fast asleep in his lap by the end of their time together. He sent me daily videos which the kids loved watching, and I felt much less guilty about leaving the kittens knowing that they were being cared for by someone who really does love cats. They got a great mix of play and cuddles, and I came home to two very contented kittens who had grown a lot while we were gone!

    Tim visited before our trip and took the time to get to know our cat’s routine, needs and what she did and didn’t like.

    Tim stepped in at the last min when we had to make a quick trip away. A true professional, Tim did a great job looking after Olive and Penny and sent updates every time he visited them - which really helped us to relax.

    They seemed happy when we got back and took to him straight away, which was great.

    Everything was taken care of and communication was excellent, thanks Tim!

    Tim was absolutely brilliant, stepping in last minute when our regular sitter became unavailable. Excellent communication, lots of lovely pics and videos and the cats loved him - even got on his lap, which is unheard of - they usually hide under the sofa when they meet a stranger! Would highly recommend Tim and will definitely book again. Completely dependable, diligent and clearly takes the responsibility seriously. Thanks Tim 🙏🙏🙏

    We are very attached to Mary Berry and we tend to rely on friends and family to look after her when we are away as she is an indoor cat and not used to strangers. This is the first time we had help from a cat sitter and from the moment we met Tim we knew Mary Berry would be in safe hands. Tim asked the right questions when we met, is very knowledgable about cats and clearly a very kind person (even when Mary Berry was not showing him much love back). While we were away, Tim gave us updates with photos and videos of Mary Berry when he visited and we could see she was happy and being well looked after meaning that we could relax. We will certainly be asking Tim to look after Mary Berry again! Thanks Tim!

    Tim was Joni's first cat sitter so we were a little nervous about the process. He put us at ease immediately with his warm and friendly approach to Joni. He asked all the right questions about her day to day routines and had a really good knowledge of cats generally. So much so we left for our travels completely at ease. We received daily photos and messages updating us on the fun they were having together. Tim even watered our plants! Very recommended.

    We could not be any happier with Tim's service. From the outset, he took the time to earn our cat Marmite's trust. In his daily visits he went above and beyond, not just doing the bare essentials but also spending time playing with Marmite and giving her plenty of human interaction. He also sent us photo updates every day which really put our minds to rest. Marmite's had a few different pet sitters over the years but has never before taken to one so quickly or so much. We really could not recommend Tim enough!

    I have to say that you could not look or wish for a better person to be taking care of your cats. We have two kittens who are wilfully mischievous, Tim has looked after them on two occasions and both times has done an outstanding job. Tim is very good at taking the time to play with them and ensured they were well looked after throughout our trip away. We were also kept informed throughout our visit on how our cats were doing with regular updates. I can’t recommend Tim's cat sitting services highly enough he is a very kind and generous sitter – Thank you, Tim!

    Tim looked after my beloved moggie Maeve when I was away last weekend. She was in safe hands as Tim clearly adores cats :) Not only was Maeve very well cared for in my absence but the cat dishes had clearly been cleaned and all was left tidy. I returned to a happy cat and a happy home :)
