About Me

Cat sitter in Cardiff

Hi, I am a cat lover who has co-habited with kitties for over 30 years. At the present time I live with Sadie and Lola who are eleven years old . I have also helped rescue and re-home feral kittens. I am used to giving medication orally to kitties. I have many clients who I regularly cat sit for and who come back to me again and again.

I am happy to look after other small pets and fish and also put out rubbish on bin days, switch off and on lights. Included in the service is watering plants inside and out in the garden, (during dry spells) and, for an extra small charge will ensure you have fresh milk, bread etc when you return home. I am more than happy to send you daily reports and photos of your cats so that you can enjoy your holiday content in the knowledge they are happy and safe. I appreciate that whilst on holiday you need a quick update at least daily that your family kitties are happy and safe.

I am trained to give insulin injections to a client's cat and am happy to do this for other clients.

If you are interested in booking me, please send me a message.

The areas I cover are Penylan, Roath, Heath, Cyncoed, Rhiwbina, and Birchgrove..

Outside of these areas, but within a 2 mile radius of my home in Penylan, I am able to carry out one visit a day. This is due to the amount of time I would spend in traffic.

    Karen provided excellent care for our 3 cats who were happy & settled on our arrival home. It was lovely to receive daily updates. Karen came to do two pre visits which was reassuring & a great way to meet each other before leaving the cats in her care. I would highly recommend thank you Karen.

    Karen is a fantastic and reliable cat sitter. Careful and patient, she looked after our two boys perfectly while we were away, even with the additional feeding instructions that we asked her to follow as part of their diet requirements. We would happily trust her to cat-sit for us again in future.

    Karen could not have been nicer or done a better job! The cats loved her immediately! She was very prompt with her communication and sent me photos of the cats every day while I was away. Both cats looked happy and well cared for and I have already asked Karen to look after them again!

    We couldn't be happier with the service that Karen provided when we were away! It was our first time using Cat in a Flat and Karen made sure to explain the procedure to us which definitely made things easier. She suggested coming to introduce herself and meeting our fur baby to make sure we felt comfortable leaving him in her care. The daily updates were a great touch and Paddy was very happy and relaxed when we got back. We will definitely ask Karen to look after him again!

    Karen is a real "cat person" and bonded with my cat straight away. While I was away, she texted me with regular updates on how the cat was doing. She is a good communicator and very reliable. I would definitely ask her to look after my cat again and recommend her to others.

    This was my first time using a cat sitter and based on the experience, I would recommend Karen. Buddy is quite nervous of strangers, we rehomed him a few weeks ago. However he was instantly relaxed with Karen. She sent us an update after visits and we came home to a happy cat.

    This was the first time I'd used a cat sitting service for my cat Bella, and although slightly nervous, Karen put my mind at rest from the first time I met her, and I had absolutely nothing to worry about. I would highly recommend Karen and look forward to booking her again in the future.

Our cats are not easy to look after as they have very different eating habits but they were very happy when we returned. She also send pictures and messages to let us know that everything was ok which was very appreciated. We will definitely recommend her!
