Why choose a cat sitter? 

  • Cats are territorial, solitary, complex creatures of habit – they like routine, their own surroundings and familiar sights and sounds. Choosing a cat sitter ensures this can be more easily maintained – your cat can remain safe and secure in their own home environment with minimal disruption to their daily lives

  • Cats won’t have to experience the stresses of being transported to catteries 

  • Cats avoid potential exposure to infectious diseases, fleas and other parasites 

  • Avoid the stress of being around unfamiliar cats 

  • There is the added security benefit of your house being checked upon whilst you are away
