What Our Customers Say About Our Cat Sitting Service
What Does A Cat Sitter Do?
Every cat is different, so we don’t offer a one-size-fits-all service.
We’ll talk to you about your cat’s normal routine, personality & individual needs and create a care plan around them.
Depending on your requirements, your Cat Sitting visits can include:
- Feeding your cat
- Refreshing water bowls
- Cleaning litter trays
- Playtime & companionship
- Giving medication where appropriate
- Checking your cat’s general wellbeing
- Cleaning up any little accidents
- Photos & updates
- Basic home security tasks while you’re away
We can provide one or two visits per day, depending on your cat’s needs.
Cat Sitting That’s Tailored To Your Cat
Some cats will be waiting at the door ready for attention the minute we arrive.
Others won’t even grace us with their presence!
And that’s absolutely fine.
We understand cats.
If your cat loves company, we’ll spend time playing, chatting, cuddling or doing whatever they normally enjoy.
If they’re shy & would much rather watch us suspiciously from underneath the bed, we won’t force them to socialise.
We’ll make sure they’re safe, eating, drinking & have everything they need while allowing them to approach us when they’re ready.
Because good Cat Sitting isn’t about what we want to do.
It’s about what makes your cat happy & comfortable.
Why Do Cats Often Prefer Staying At Home?
For many cats, being taken out of their normal environment can be stressful.
They’re territorial animals who often feel safest surrounded by their familiar smells, favourite sleeping spots & normal routine.
With an in-home Cat Sitter, your cat can:
- Stay in familiar surroundings
- Sleep in their favourite places
- Maintain their normal feeding routine
- Avoid unnecessary travel
- Receive individual attention
- Avoid sharing an unfamiliar environment with other animals
And you don’t have the upheaval of getting your cat into the carrier before you’ve even started your holiday!
Cat Sitter Or Cattery – Which Is Better?
There isn’t one answer that’s right for every cat.
Some cats cope perfectly well with a cattery.
But for cats who are older, nervous, territorial, need medication or simply love their home comforts, in-home Cat Sitting can be a much less disruptive option.
Your cat gets to stay at home while someone comes to them.
There’s no unfamiliar environment, no car journey & no sudden change to everything they know.
How Much Does A Cat Sitter Cost?
The cost of Cat Sitting will depend on your individual care requirements, including your location, how many cats you have & the number of visits you require.
For example, one cat needing a single daily visit may have very different requirements from a multi-cat household needing two visits per day & medication.
That’s why we’ll ask you about your cats & the care they need before providing a personalised quote.
More Than Just Looking After Your Cat
While you’re away, we can also help keep an eye on your home.
Depending on your requirements, your Pet Care Assistant can help with simple tasks such as:
- Bringing in post
- Opening & closing curtains
- Rotating lights
- Taking bins in or out
- Checking doors & windows
- Watering plants
- Keeping an eye out for anything unusual
We’ll discuss exactly what you need during your meet & greet.
It’s one more reason you can relax knowing both your cat & your home are being checked while you’re away.

Frequently Asked Questions about our cat sitting service
How Often Will You Visit My Cat?
We can provide one or two visits per day (more if you need them!) depending on your cat’s individual needs. We’ll discuss the most appropriate schedule with you when arranging your care.
What Happens During A Cat Sitting Visit?
We’ll follow the care plan agreed with you. This can include feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter trays, medication where appropriate, playtime & companionship.
We’ll also make sure your cat is safe & comfortable and send you updates while you’re away.
Will My Cat Be Happier Staying At Home?
Many cats are more relaxed remaining in familiar surroundings rather than travelling to a cattery.
Staying at home means they can maintain their usual routine & remain surrounded by the things they know.
Can You Give Medication To My Cat?
We can administer certain types of medication where appropriate.
Tell us what your cat needs when you contact us so we can discuss their requirements with you.
What If My Cat Hides When You Visit?
That’s absolutely fine.
Some cats take longer to feel comfortable around someone new.
We won’t force your cat to interact with us. We’ll make sure they’re safe, have fresh food & water and a clean litter tray while giving them the space they need.
Will I Receive Updates While I’m Away?
Yes.
We’ll send you updates & photos so you can see how your cat is doing and have the reassurance that they’re being cared for.

Yes.
A meet & greet gives you the opportunity to meet your Pet Care Assistant, go through your cat’s routine & show them where everything they need is kept.
What Happens If My Pet Care Assistant Is Unavailable?
One of the advantages of booking through an established pet care company is that we have back-up support in place.
If your usual Pet Care Assistant unexpectedly becomes unavailable, we’ll work to arrange alternative cover so your cat’s care isn’t simply left to chance.
How Far In Advance Should I Book A Cat Sitter?
