Cats don't adapt to change the way dogs often can.  Their home isn't just where they live - it's where they feel safe, where they know every smell and every sound, where their world makes sense.  For many cats, especially those who are elderly, anxious, or indoor-only, being uprooted - even temporarily - causes genuine distress.

In-home sitting removes that stress entirely.  Your cat stays in their own space, with their own routines, with someone who takes the time to understand them rather than simply manage them.

This service is particularly well suited to:

• Indoor and multi-cat households
• Elderly or senior cats
• Cats requiring medication or special diets
• Nervous, anxious, or sensitive cats
• Cats recovering from illness or surgery
• Cats who simply don't do well with strangers

Beyond the practical care - feeding, litter, medication, companionship - I also bring a holistic awareness to every visit.  I notice the small things: a cat who is eating slightly less, who is hiding more than usual, whose energy seems a little flat.  These early signs matter, and having someone who is trained to observe them carefully can make a real difference, particularly for cats with complex needs.

If your cat would benefit from gentle additional support during your absence -  such as Animal Reiki or a calming herbal approach - this can be discussed and incorporated into their care.

Every cat is different, and care is priced to reflect that.  For straightforward visits, pricing is listed on the pricing page.  For cats with more complex needs - multiple medications, post-surgery recovery, or households with several cats.

If you're not sure whether this service is right for your cat, just ask.  There's never any obligation - just an honest conversation about what your cat needs.
