Services
Availability
I offer cat sitting and small animal care. I have a full time job so the cat sitting fits around that. As a result, I keep my catchment area quite small. Morning visits are a quick hello beautiful, here's your breakfast, but in the evenings/at weekends I will happily spend at least an hour with your cats.

Safety, trust & environment
I take good care of your property while I'm looking after your cat. I'll pick up the post, water the plants, and if it's helpful I'll get bread and milk in for your return.
Information Kirsten H. would like to know about your pet
Are they likely to hide or are they friendly? Do they have access to outside eg a catflap, or are they indoors only? Do they like to go out in a harness? Will they plonk themselves on my lap for scritches?
A typical day
If you've booked morning visits which I fit in before work, I'll provide breakfast. At weekends and in the evenings I'll stay for at least an hour for play, cuddles, managing litter boxes etc as well as food and water.

Cat care experience
Hi, I'm Kirsten. I work full time, so I limit my catchment area to easy walks around home and work. I will sometimes accept jobs further away if I can manage it, but will usually charge a couple of quid extra. I can forward a photo of my Disclosure Scotland PVG certificate and am happy to show you the hard copy when we meet. We had cats throughout my childhood, but as an adult I didn't feel settled enough to get one of my own until 2014, when I adopted the gorgeous Pete from Lothian Cat Rescue, who has devoted himself to trying to convince me he needs more food. My vet (the Veterinary Cat Clinic in Edinburgh) has taught me to give injections to my own cat and I am confident I can offer this service to cats requiring sub-cutaneous injections, not intravenous or intramuscular. I scored full marks in the PDSA Petwise for Cats assessment. If you're kind enough to recommend me to someone who then books me, I will thank you with a small discount off your next booking with me. If you are looking to book me but I'm not available, I would recommend Myriam K.
Reviews
Kirsten is friendly and flexible with good communication - thanks again!
It's evident how much Kirsten loves cats as soon as you meet her, she was able to name all the cats in my area - so it was easy to trust her on my first catinaflat experience. Made a big effort with my extremely shy cat Angel and kept in touch with updates even when he wasn't keen to come out and play. Thanks again 👍⭐️
Kirsten did a great job as always looking after my cat - and managed to fit in the booking at short notice, which I really appreciated! She clearly loves cats, is highly reliable, and made everything run smoothly - from responding quickly to collecting the keys and letting me know how my cat was during her visits. I recommend Kirsten very warmly!
Kirsten did a brilliant job again looking after my cat - friendly, reliable and showing real care! She responded promptly, picked up the keys ahead of time as agreed, and kept in touch proactively while I was away, sending me videos and letting me know how my cat was. I’d happily recommend Kirsten and also make further repeat bookings! Thank you!
