Why Choose Cat Sitting Over Catteries?
As cat owners ourselves, we understand the stress of sending your feline friend to a cattery. Cats are creatures of habit, thriving in familiar surroundings. Our in-home cat sitting service offers a stress-free alternative that keeps your cat happy and comfortable.
Benefits of Our Cat Sitting Service:
- Home Sweet Home: Your cat stays in their familiar environment, surrounded by their favorite toys and scents.
- No Travel Stress: Eliminate stressful car rides and unfamiliar carrier experiences.
- Personalized Care: We follow your cat’s routine, from feeding to playtime, just the way they like it.
- One-on-One Attention: Your cat receives dedicated love and care during each visit.
- Flexible Scheduling: Choose from morning, midday, or evening visits to suit your cat’s needs.
- No Strict Requirements: Unlike many catteries, we don’t mandate neutering or vaccinations (though we strongly recommend both for your cat’s health).
- Photo Updates: Receive high-quality photos of your furry friend at no extra cost.
- Expert Advice: Benefit from our 5+ years of cat sitting experience for health and wellbeing tips.
- Home Security: Regular visits make your house appear occupied, enhancing security.
- Medication Management: We’ll ensure your cat receives any necessary medications on schedule.
