Do you offer daily cat sitting visits?

Can I book a cat sitter for a holiday in Surrey?
Yes. Book your dates through our booking form and we'll look after your cat's routine for as long as you're away.
Are in-home cat sitting services better than boarding or catteries in Surrey?
For most cats, yes. Cats are territorial and often get stressed in a cattery. With in-home visits your cat stays in their own space with their usual food, litter and routine, and there is no travel or exposure to other animals. Drop-in visits suit cats who are happy alone between visits.
What happens during a cat sitting visit?
Each visit includes feeding, fresh water, litter tray cleaning, playtime and cuddles. We also check that your cat looks happy and healthy.
Do you clean litter trays, and offer cuddles and playtime?
Yes. Litter tray cleaning, playtime and cuddles are all included in every visit at no extra charge.
Do you provide a tailored care plan for my cat?
Yes. Tell us your cat's feeding routine, any medication, favourite games and quirks, and we'll follow them at every visit.
Do you look after more than one cat?
Yes. We look after households with more than one cat, and the price stays the same regardless of the number of cats.
What is a drop-in cat sitting visit?
A drop-in visit is when we come to your home to care for your cat while you are away or at work. Each visit includes fresh food and water, litter tray cleaning, playtime and cuddles, and a check that your cat looks happy and healthy. Your cat stays in their own home with their usual routine.
