Why Brighton cat owners choose in-home sitting
Brighton has one of the UK's highest rates of cat ownership per household outside London. The city's creative, cat-loving community trusts us to keep their cats comfortable and stress-free during trips away.
Zero territorial disruption
Cats are creatures of habit. Your home is their safe zone. An in-home sitter keeps their world exactly as they left it.

Photo updates every visit
Your sitter sends photos at each visit. You'll know your cat is settled, comfortable, and behaving exactly as expected.
Medication management
Many sitters are experienced with tablets, liquid medications, eye drops, and prescription diets. Just mention your cat's needs when posting.

My cat lives in a seafront flat. Is that a problem?
Not at all. Our Brighton sitters are familiar with flat access, shared entrances, and coastal property. Most have experience with cats in apartments and maisonettes.
Can I arrange a meet-and-greet before I go away?
We always recommend it for new bookings. Your sitter can visit briefly before your trip so your cat sees a familiar face on day one.
My cat is very attached to me. Will they cope?
Most cats adjust within 24 hours of a consistent, calm sitter. Twice-daily visits (morning and evening) give enough reassurance. For very anxious cats, an overnight sitter is a good option.
