About Me

Leith-based Cat sitter

I'm Katie - an Archivist originally from Aberdeen and now living in Leith with my two tabby cats. I have had cats my whole life so know how much of a worry it can be leaving them behind while away on holiday!

I have used Cat in a Flat a number of times while away, and as a result know what makes a good cat sitter, and what makes a GREAT cat sitter. Getting to understand your cat's personality is key - how they like to be stroked, which are their favourite toys; the little things are so important for making sure you return to a happy cat!

Before you go away, I like to meet up to exchange keys and make notes about how your cat should be looked after. While you're away, I will make sure your cat is well fed and watered, has a clean litterbox, and of course gets lots of cuddles and play time! I am happy to take photos and videos of your fuzzy friend so that you are reassured your cat is being well looked after. I usually spend about an hour with your cat each visit to ensure they aren't lonely while you're away.

I am happy to undertake all areas of cat sitting, as well as looking after any other smaller pets you have in your home (I have previously owned rabbits and hamsters)!

    Katie was such a great sitter. I wouldn't hesitate to have her sit for us again. She was really great with her communication, and the cats took to her straight away. Thanks so much Katie, we really appreciated how great you were and hope you can sit for us again soon.

    As ever Katie was the best sitter. I will never book a holiday again without booking Katie first!

    Katie is a dream! She is very responsive, and always keeps us updated throughout the days we’re away. Our cat Emmett loves her and he always looks so happy when we’re back and seems to never miss us much!

    Katie took very good care of our cats. Every day, she informed us with photos and updates. I didn't worry for a moment during our two-week trip. I definitely recommend her.

    Katie was awesome! This was my first time using a cat sitter and my cat is still fairly feral when it comes to new people, but Katie won her over very quickly. I got lots of lovely photo n video updates and I'm very glad to see how much they bonded. I can now leave my cat in the sure knowledge she'll be very well cared for. Top notch!

    Katie was a fantastic cat sitter. She looked after our cat Billy while we were on holiday. Katie kept us updated with regular texts and pictures, and made sure to check in when we travelled back to ensure we didn't need extra help. She was lovely in how she cared for Billy, playing games and cuddling as well as feeding. Will definitely book again!

    Katie was an amazing catsitter for us and our furry little cat! 🐈 She sent us pictures on every visit and kept us up to date on how he was getting on.

    He clearly loved having her round, he was having the time of his life playing with her every day ❤️

    10/10 would recommend Katie to look after your cat

    Would definitely recommend Katie - she was very quick to respond, reliable and helped us out at fairly short notice so we're very thankful to her. She took great care of our cats and sent lots of updates and pictures, and our cats seemed to take really well to her which put our minds at ease while we were away.

    Katie was fantastic, she was super communicative and reassuring as I was leaving my 2 for the first time. She got on great with the cats and spent a good deal of time with them, sending me loads of pictures and letting me know how they were getting on. Will go to Katie again in the future and would definitely recommend her! Thank you!

    Katie was brilliant - she shared lots of photos with me while I was away and kept my playful cat entertained. At the end I came home to a chilled out, happy cat and could tell that she'd been well looked after. Would definitely recommend Katie.
