Your cat’s fav sitter I promise!

Oh hi there, I’m Zaina! ( Zain-Na) I’m a Dental PhD student 👩🏻‍🔬🦷 In case you’re wondering, I’m already a Dentist — just going through a slightly more advanced academic path now :) I wish I was a vet though haha Anyway… I’ve been cat sitting for around 3 years now, and I’ve had the pleasure of looking after all sorts of cats with completely different personalities, breeds and quirks. Have a look through my gallery you’ll probably spot some of my regular little clients there! 🐈‍⬛ I’m lucky enough to have built lovely relationships with many of their owners, so I’ve become a regular face for quite a few cats in East London 🥰 I also have my own cat (who is the Persian fluffy baby you can see in my profile picture🥹) I had her since she was 2 months old and she’s 9 years old now, and I left my home country and her around 4 years ago to pursue this dream. I miss my baby terribly, but thankfully she’s with my family and very well looked after. So trust me, I completely understand the struggle of leaving your beloved cat with someone else and wanting to know they’re in safe, loving hands. ❤️ Honestly, cat sitting isn’t just a part-time job to me that I come in, do and leave. It’s genuinely something I love. I get to spend time with these peaceful, wonderful little creatures. And yes, I’ve dealt with all sorts of personalities by now! From shy and cautious to clingy, playful and completely independent , every cat has their own little character! I’m always happy to follow their pace and make sure they feel comfortable, safe and very loved. 🥰 I’ll also make sure you receive plenty of photos and short videos while you’re away — possibly to the point where I might annoy you with them haha! 📸 I’m quite flexible with my schedule, so please feel free to ask me anything or let me know what works best for you.

Safety, trust & environment

I always like to keep the owner’s house/flat as how it was left (I’m innocent of any mess the cat/s may do after I leave though😹) otherwise you’ll get back to a clean/tidy home as you left it :)

It was such a pleasure having Zaineh housesit our two Bengal cats while we were away for three weeks. They are very demanding boys and they had a great time. We received many, many cute photos every day we were away and it was apparent they barely missed us at all. Thank you!

Zaina took care of our 2 cats for the past week and we are very happy go have chosen her! She always send lots of pictures and videos and informed us about how they were doing. Loki and Kiwi seemed comfortable with her and loved the daily playing time. 10/10 can recommend her 🫶🏻

Zaineh looked after our 19-year old cat Miuku for a couple of days and we couldn’t have been more happy with the level of care she provided for our cat. She sent me regular updates along with photos and videos and completely put my mind at rest while we were away. It was clear that Miuku was also very fond of Zaineh. I would throughly recommend her to anyone looking for a cat sitter.

I've booked Zaina to look after my cat Yuki. She would feed the cat, refill the water, and always send me pictures and videos, which I really appreciated. She is caring, and clearly love animals. I felt at ease knowing Yuki is in good hands. Highly recommended!

Escher had a great time with Zaina! She really went above and beyond the call of duty with some health issues. I also really appreciated her coming over Christmas. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend and book again.

Zaina was amazing with my cat! He’s usually shy with new people, but he came out to play with her and all - she must really have a magic touch :) The communication was great, too. Zaina is very responsive and very reliable, and clearly loves cats very much. I would definitely trust her to look after my cat again

Schedule

I’m a full-time PhD student in my third year at the moment which means I’m flexible most of the time and not like 9-5 pm job or have to be present in the lab/office everyday.

Zaineh can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
Let me know if your cat requires any special attention, how their behaviour is. Does the cat like to be held/touched? Shy or social? My main priority is to keep the cat comfortable and not scared at all so if they’re not social and prefer to be left untouched please do let me know!
Each sitter joining needs to pass an identity verification. And by booking on Cat in a Flat, you can get photo and message updates, 24/7 support and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
These prices are for 1 cat, including a booking fee of 11%.
