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
Why choose Cookie’s Cat Care?
Nicola and Siobhan have over 30 years experience as cat owners and lovers and Nicola has 15+ years of experience working in practice as a Veterinary Nurse
We offer a free, no obligation meet and greet service to discuss you and your cats needs prior to making a reservation for cat sitting – this allows us to gather information on your cat's routine, their personality, likes and dislikes, discuss any special requirements you may have and a chance for you to ask any questions; most importantly we will have the opportunity to make acquaintance with your beloved cat!
We have a genuine passion for cats and their welfare; we are dedicated, trustworthy, reliable, caring and professional individuals
We understand how nerve-wracking it can feel entrusting someone to care for your beloved cat – rest assured we will treat your cat as if they were my own with love, patience and an individual, bespoke plan for their care; To us, cats are indeed very much part of the family!
We have extensive knowledge of feline health, behaviour and husbandry
Nicola has a good understanding of common feline illnesses and how to appropriately provide care for cats with these conditions
We are trained in emergency care and first aid as well as able to notice subtle changes/warning signs in your cat's health
Nicola can administer a wide range of medications
We are flexible and will always do our very best to accommodate you and your cats needs

Competitive pricing and longer duration than average care visits!
We are more than happy to send you daily updates and photos/videos of your cat
We sanitise our hands, arms and equipment between each home visit so we don’t upset your cat with the scent of other felines - this also reduces the risk of the spread of infectious illness via cross contamination
