What to Look for in a Cat Sitter

Oct 13
1 min read

Handing your keys to someone and trusting them with your cat is a big step. Whether you are in Woking, Guildford or anywhere else in Surrey, these are the things worth checking before you book.

A DBS check

A DBS check is an official background check. It tells you the person coming into your home has been checked.

Insurance

Ask whether the sitter has public liability insurance, so you are covered if something goes wrong in your home.

A free meet-and-greet

A good sitter will meet you and your cat before the first booking. It lets your cat get used to them and lets you ask questions.

A care plan built around your cat

Feeding routines, medication, favourite games and quirks should all be written down and followed at every visit.

Updates after every visit

You should not have to wonder how your cat is. We send a WhatsApp message with photos after every visit.

Clear prices and cover for emergencies

Look for fixed daily rates with no hidden extras, and ask whether the sitter can help at short notice. We offer a same-day emergency service.

What we offer

We offer drop-in visits only, not overnight stays, from £14 a day for one visit. You can read more about what happens during a visit on our blog.
