About Me
My name is Helena. Welcome to My Cat Companion. This cat sitting service with a difference was born out of the need I had to find a sitter to look after my 18 year old furbaby, Bagpuss (Baggie). All the cat sitting services I found were unable to offer him the care he needs as a kidney cat, which includes daily tablets and Sub-Q/Sub-cut fluids under his skin. A service I can happily offer following a consultation with you and your cat!
It can be both strange and unsettling putting your cat into a cattery. Why not leave them in the warmth and comfort of their own home and have someone you can trust visit them … a Cat Companion!
No longer happy with commuting and the London rat race, I decided to indulge my biggest passion, cats, by providing a local cat sitting service as an experienced and loving cat owner.
My eldest cat Baggie, who I had since he was 8 weeks old, passed away from cancer in January 2019, almost 19 years old, a year after I set up My Cat Companion :o( He was my inspiration for this business. We also have Rosie and Ronnie, 3 years old, and Dexter, 1 year old, all cheeky British Shorthairs and Persian rescue kitty Prince Harry, who is around a year old, so there is never a dull moment for my husband and I in our cat loving home!!
A little more about me ……. I am a former veterinary assistant, and I fundraise for various cat charities and rescues including Pet Shop KIttens, Cats Protection and St Francis Persian Rescue, where I am able to combine my love of cats with meeting new people and raising money for cats in need.
I wanted to create My Cat Companion as I personally understand how hard it can be to find a reliable and loving cat sitter for your special feline friend whether this is when you are on holiday, working long hours or they just need a bit of extra love and attention in your absence.
My Cat Companion is about more than providing the basic needs for your cat; it is about giving those needs with love and affection as I would want for each of my own cats, a true cat companion.

Home Visits
I offer home visits that include all the things your cat could possibly need from feeding, brushing, to love, attention and play, in addition to watering your plants, putting out / bringing in your bins, closing curtains, collecting your post, etc.
Emergency Supplies
You’ll never need to worry about running out of cat supplies while you’re away. I carry emergency supplies on every visit including spare food and cat litter.
Homemade Cat Toys
I raise money for cat charities and rescues by making and selling catnip toys (knitted bees, mice, butterflies, fish and cat pillows). 100% of all proceeds are donated to my favourite cat welfare groups including Cats Protection and St Francis Persian Cat Rescue. View some of my colletion.
Medication
My cat sitting service is ideal for cats that have regular medical needs. If your pet requires medication I will ensure they get the right dosage, at the right intervals, so you can rest assured your cats health is being looked after while you’re away. Even if your cat needs regular medication and you’re not too confident in administering it, I’m always available to come over and show you step by step. I can also schedule regular appointments on a daily/weekly/monthly basis.
Competitive Rates
I strive to make quality cat sitting affordable for you, and always ensure my rates are fair and competitive. Don’t hesitate to get in touch with me today to discuss your cat’s requirements and I’ll offer you a quote and visit for an informal chat to meet you and your cat at no additional cost.
I will love your feline friend like they are my own
