About Me

Cat sitter in Helensburgh

I live in Helensburgh with my husband, my daughter and our five cats. I have owned and loved cats all my life, but since my current lot are probably enough for one house, I enjoy meeting and looking after other people's cats too! I have a knack for getting on well with most cats, whether they are easygoing, demanding or aloof, and I am happy to care for the individual quirks of your pet as you would do yourself. I am currently a teacher, but I have had past experience of working in a busy cattery as well as caring for neighbours' cats during their holidays. I am reliable and discreet, and for your added security I am a member of the Disclosure Scotland PVG scheme. I look forward to meeting you and your cat, and to looking after your feline friend while you are away!

I tailor the service to the cat and the client - if there are any specific requirements, I'm happy to cater to these. With most of my furry clientele, I get their food (and cleaning, if necessary) sorted out as soon as I arrive, and then move into play time, cuddles or lap time, whichever the cat prefers. I can usually get a purr out of most cats, and I'm quite good at working out which strokes or caresses are welcome and which aren't! I can now claim to have experience caring for cats of varying ages - from a litter of tiny four-day-old kittens, to venerable over-twenties felines with very set habits, and have kept them all happy.

I'm happy to administer medication in any form that is necessary - I've had experience with pills, powders, liquids and needles, and can usually make sure there's no undue fuss.

I do my best to make sure that your cat or cats feel cared for and appreciated during your absence, though they'll always be happy to have their proper person back when you return.

I've recently increased my twice-daily visit fee to help me keep up with rising costs, but I've kept my single visit fee the same as it has been for years. Likewise, for more distant visits from my home, I will need to add a boundary charge of £1-4 per visit to cover travel costs. Please ask if you have any questions - I always try to accommodate clients' requests whenever I can!

    The cats were very happy when we got back. Marianne is wonderful with them and they always seem really happy in the photos she sens every day. She takes time to play with them and give them a cuddle so it makes us relaxed and happy too. Thanks Marianne.

    Marianne was great as always! Lots of updates/pictures which are fab for peace of mind when you're away. Albie doesn't have a typical cats diet and Marianne isn't phased by this which is a massive bonus for us. My husband said Albie's too special for a cattery and he's right! My only concern now is if I ever need Marianne when she's unavailable!

    Marianne has been looking after my elderly Burmese for a couple of years now. Nothing is too much trouble for her and she administers all sorts of medication with diligence and care. My cat is always very happy and content on return. I'd be stuck with out her -You wont find a better sitter.

    I cannot recommend Marianne highly enough. My Merlin adores her and that comes from a cat that takes weeks to alow anyone new to come close.

    Marianne was exactly what we were looking for! She was super friendly and more than happy to take on our cats requirements. She clearly knows loads about cats and understands them, so after our initial meeting I was more than happy to leave the cats in her care. Marianne sent daily photos and updates which was a nice bit of reassurance, not only that the cats were doing well but also that she was able to access the house and had everything she needed. The cats also took to her very quickly, which is not the usual script! All in all, really glad to have someone so trustworthy and easy to work with nearby, and I am off to book our second set of dates! Can't recommend highly enough.
