Moggies at Home - Cat Sitting service.

DBS checked and fully insured

Based in Badersfield

Cat sitting is the ideal solution for pet owners if you’re going away for holidays, weekends away, work trips, if you are going into hospital, or simply because you can’t keep asking your neighbours! Cats like to be in familiar surroundings and like to have a routine. They are true creatures of habit.

Some animals, especially cats, can find it extremely stressful to be taken out of their home environment. Cats like to have their own territory and being in a strange place near other strange cats can add to their anxiety. I can make sure that your best friend is fed, watered and generally comforted and reassured while you're not there, leaving you with the peace of mind to enjoy your time away.

Cat sitting is a cheaper more convenient alternative to a cattery and there is the added benefit of someone checking on your home daily.

Cats often find travel stressful making the cattery journey an upsetting and distressing start to your time away. A cat sitting service means that this along with the stress to you of trying to get them into the dreaded pet carrier isn’t necessary.

As a cat owner since a child (a very long time!) I understand that cats are an important part of your family. I offer a personal, friendly, reliable and professional service to ensure your cat is looked after in the comfort of their own home. The service is ideal for all sorts of cats, from independent types that like to come and go as they please through a cat flap, to elderly cats that just want to sleep in their favourite spot. Each cat is an individual, and I love getting to know them all, taking the time to work out each cat's likes and dislikes

If your cat prefers to keep their distance, that's fine! I will leave them to get used to me but will be open if they want to approach me. I will feed your cat until just before I leave. This can coax an outdoor cat inside, or tempt a shy cat to join me on the sofa for some company and fuss. Although I prefer to spend time with each cat in my care, if your cat is independent this will be respected.

Your cat will be safe and secure with their own familiar sounds, smells and sights. It is a much nicer experience for them than sending them to a cattery while you are away. It also reduces the risk of urinary tract infections, depression and stress for them to stay where they are happiest.

Let me look after your pet in their own home while you're out at work, on holiday or just away for a few days

I can provide cat visits to your home in the morning, during the daytime and in the evening, whichever best suits you and the needs of your cat. I will make sure that they have fresh water, will feed them and clean litter trays. If they are cats that like to be fussed I am more than happy to spend quality time with your pet. I am happy to groom your cat if needed and administer medication. You can choose for once or twice daily visits.

When visiting your home to care for your cat, I can also undertake additional tasks if requested such as watering plants, alternating lights, opening and drawing curtains, putting out and bringing in your bins and collecting the mail from your mail box. This service is free of charge.

I can send you updates throughout the booking with messages, pictures and videos so you can feel confident that your cat is happy and cared for while you are away from home. It may not always be possible for me to take photos/videos at every visit, but I will make sure that I send them whenever possible. Updates can be sent by text, WhatsApp or email either daily or at various intervals while you are away. I will speak to you before you go and you can let me know how often you would like to be updated.
