I'm Katie - a Leith-based cat sitter originally from Aberdeen. I got into cat sitting after having a couple of bad experiences with people looking after my own cats, and wanted to ensure that other cat owners are able to go on holiday without worrying about their furry pals back home.

For me, the most important thing is communication - I'll send you lots of photos and videos every visit, so you know that I've been in to see them, that they've been fed, and are happily playing and snuggling while you're away. 

I know that each cat is different, so before you go away I'll organise to meet you and your cat so you can let me know about all their quirks - their favourite toys, how they like to be brushed and stroked, their naughty tendencies... 

I'm comfortable with all elements of catsitting - from cleaning litter boxes, to giving oral medication, brushing and de-matting long haired cats, and securing your property after my visit. I usually try to visit for 40 minutes to an hour each time, to ensure I can pick up on any issues that might be going on with your cat, and so that they have enough companionship while you're away.

Across other catsitting apps I have over 50 5-star reviews, and have lots of cats I look after time and time again. Hopefully your first booking with me will be the first of many, and giving you certainty when you go away that your cat is being looked after.
