About Gulsum

*10+ years of experience and completed many sits for cats, through other agencies & channels. DBS checked.

Imagine, if you will, a curious human—wandering the landscapes of this beautiful City of London, enjoying the city and nature and a treat for a passing cat in the other. That is me.

Over the past decade, my journey, I’ve met wise old cats, wildly enthusiastic kittens. Each encounter becomes a quiet little story, a moment of connection tucked into the larger adventure.

Each cat, of course, comes with their own personality, preferences, and unspoken house rules which I learn swiftly—usually by getting it wrong once.

I’ve looked after shy cats who vanish like mist for three days, then suddenly appear on your pillow at 2am. Bold cats who greet you at the door and immediately demand a full résumé. Medical cats with schedules more precise than a train timetable. And the aristocratic types who simply require their home be run correctly in their absence—preferably with classical music and tuna on Tuesdays.

Wherever I go, the routine is theirs, not mine. That’s how it’s always worked. (And frankly, they do keep a tighter ship than most humans.)

What I offer is not a service. It’s quiet care. Steady presence. A companionship fluent in the soft, silent languages—of whiskers, of waiting, of warmth.

I care for senior cats who move more slowly, who appreciate calm voices, soft beds, and someone who understands the importance of routine. For kittens—curious, energetic, and a little chaotic—I bring safe play, structure, and a watchful eye.

Cats with medical needs are never rushed. I follow instructions closely, administer medications with care, and pay attention to the little things: changes in appetite, posture, or behavior that might go unnoticed.

Some cats want affection. Others want space. I take the time to notice which is which.

I feed and clean, of course. But more than that: I show up. I stay attentive. I respect their pace.

Every cat is different. I adapt to what each one needs.

If this stirred something in you, then we’re already in quiet conversation. Feel free to reach out. Or let the cat decide.
