We highly recommend Feline Happy as the best petsitting service in North London. As a childless…read morecouple, our cats are our family, our children, so one of our biggest concerns when we move is finding a good petsitter in our new neighborhood. Debs at Feline Happy was our petsitter for our five kitties during the entire time we lived in Finchley, and she did a great job. Our kitties love her and though we travel frequently, we always come home to happy, well-fed cats and clean litter boxes. When we first contacted Debs, she was available to come meet the kitties and start petsitting on short notice. We had an initial meeting, and even our shy kitty Oliver went right up to her to be petted, which amazed me. (Usually he hides if strangers are around) I think the cats sensed that she was a pet person, and she was very good with gaining their trust. Over time, we've found that Debs was always available through Christmas and other holidays, so we didn't have to worry about having multiple petsitters. She's fully insured, as is her husband, so even in the event of an emergency, you can be confident that your kitties are in safe hands. We've never had any kind of issues with the kitties getting sick while we were away, but I know I could trust Debs to take great care of them and to make sure they receive any medical care they might need. We give Debs our highest recommendation, and we're confident you'll be happy with her services!

The best cattery in West London by far.

Nina and Chris are such a lovely, friendly couple who instantly put both you and your pets at ease when you meet them. They really know their stuff and handled my British Blue, Millie (who can be quite the madame!) with total calm and confidence. Everything is provided by them, from their professional setup to all the grooming essentials, so there's no need to worry about bringing towels or supplies. What I love most is how calm and organised they are; they turn what's usually a stressful experience for both owner and cat into something completely relaxed. Millie looked gorgeous afterwards and was surprisingly serene! I now have two of the best groomed cats in East London (I believe!) I'm booking again for next May and genuinely look forward to seeing them again! It's rare to find people who combine such professionalism, warmth, and genuine care for the animals they work with. See you in May guys!

Nina is fantastic with both of our cats - they absolutely love her. Our cats are choosy about the…read morecompany they prefer and quite spoiled, but they are very taken with Nina. She always takes care of them when we are away for the weekend or on holiday. I think they love when she visits. It's lovely for us to be able to go away and know our cats are being played with, as well as fed and checked on regularly. Nina is very trustworthy. She takes great care of our keys and we know when we are away, our home, pets and plants are in safe hands. I highly recommend 'Hare of the Cat' and Nina as your groomer or pet-sitter if you are a Camberwell & surrounds resident. Karen Schorn

Emilie looks after my cats when I go away, and they love her!…read more She is wonderful with them and before Emilie they used to end up very stressed if I went away for even one night, but not any more. Now their behaviour doesn't change at all and that is down to all the attention and affection Emilie gives them. I would recommend Emilie for your cat sitting needs.

She sent us photos and videos as requested and we were totally reassured that he was being beautifully cared for, which of course enabled us to enjoy our holiday. Louise was completely practical dealing with some unexpected mice visitors and left the house immaculate. I was rather moved that she had washed the bedding and put it out on the line to dry. So not only did we have a lovely time knowing Bozie was happy but our return home was really nice too.

She was wonderful ..... we met her a couple of months before our trip .... then once more to hand over keys etc. just a day before our holiday. She sent us photos, updates and texts while we were away. In short we were on holiday knowing our two cats were taken care of VERY well and we didn't have to worry about ANYTHING ...... not just the cats .... the house too. We would DEFINITELY be using VIP's again for future holidays and hopefully Giovanna can look after our cats again. VIP's .... AND Giovanna ...... thank you so so much.

A fabulous & professional, Cat Sitting service!!! Dominique…read moreoffers an excellent level of quality, loving care and attention for our beloved cat in her home while we travel. Her services are a fantastic alternative to Catteries, which my boy cat totally disdaines. Dominique's Flat is extremely "cat friendly" providing a safe and stress free enjoyment plus she has a nifty "cat safe" balcony offering the added enjoyment of bird watching. She sends informative email, including pictures, regularly to update us as to how much our pet is enjoying his stay. We are now able to frequently travel without guilt, angst, nor unnecessary concern knowing our cat is being treated to "a holiday" provided by the loving professional care of The Notting Hill Cat Company. Dominique's service is valued and totally appreciated!

We chose the cat sitting option where she visited our home daily to check on cookie, feed her and spend some time with her. Dominique sent us daily updates with photos on whatsapp which helped alleviate our separation anxiety greatly. When our mischievous brat managed to open a shut door and lock herself in a room one night, she made 2 visits the next day to check in on her. She really cares for cats and our cat loved her. We will definitely request her help again, the next time we travel.

We have left our cat in other catteries before but she never seemed in so much distress after being brought back home. She is very weak and stressed out, what a horrible place, we will never leave our cat there again and would certainly not recommend to anyone! We saw how poorly treated other cats there seemed to be, looks like the 5-star review is written by the owners themselves!

This is, quite simply, a fantastic cattery. I've boarded my cat here on several occasions and am…read morealways struck by how much the owners (Lesley and Ray) just seem to really love the cats there. It's a reasonably large cattery (space for 20+ kitty enclosures and each one can be shared by 2-3 cats if you have cats which don't mind sharing). The spaces for the cats are larger than at a few other catteries I've seen. It's always clean and the cats are obviously well-cared for; walking up the main aisle with Lesley and Ray, they will talk to you about their latest arrivals whilst also pausing to talk to the cats as well. They offer a range of foods (different kinds of wet, dry and occasionally even real chicken!) and there are toys in most of the enclosures already in case you forget to bring your own. The enclosures are divided into a private and public area for each cat, where your cat can either sneak away and be unseen, or look at the goings-on in the cattery. There are heated pads for your cat in winter, so they won't get cold. The owners are responsive over email and the phone, and as it's their full time job, the opening hours are long, which is great. The last time I boarded our cat there, if you pick your cat up between 9 and 10am in the morning, you don't have to pay for another full day, which is often a blessing if you come home late one night from a holiday. Although catcare is generally quite pricey, their rates are good. There is also a collection service, which I think is within a 3-mile radius. I've never used it, so there may be a charge, but it's nice to know that if your car breaks down, or your cat has just got too fat to be carried, you can still get it there. Above all, it's a really superb cattery from the second you walk in, you feel like your cat will be in really safe, good hands. Could not ask for better.
