About Me

Highly recommended cat-sitter. Give your fur-baby the best care while you're away!

I absolutely adore cats. I grew up with cats and at one point our family were looking after 4! I enjoy playing with and grooming cats, and have experience of giving medication. Unfortunately my partner is allergic to cats so I can't have my own, so this is the next best thing to get my kitty fix! I live between Trinity and Pilton in the North of Edinburgh and tend to cycle for my visits, when you message please let me know your general area so I can see if I can make it alongside work.

I can also look after any small animals you have too, such as fish, rabbits, hamsters etc. Depending on the amount of care they need I may ask for a small surcharge.

Please get in touch if you have any questions or would like to discuss a booking.

Also do check the calendar for my availability. Even if you need a sitter at the last minute please get in touch as I'm happy to do last minute jobs if I'm free!

Much love, Jen

I offer one or two visits per day as well as overnights, and can do short term and longer term sittings. I can do mornings or evenings, though tend to have more time in the evenings to spend with the little fluffs to play and have cuddles! I use WhatsApp to send daily updates and photos to ensure you feel comfortable and reassured whilst away.

    Jennifer was great. Kept us informed as to what was happening with Smudge, sent us photos and followed our instructions to the letter. Smudge was a bit upset as we hadn't been away for a while but Jennifer looked after her well and we were very pleased, Smudge was happy and relaxed again once we came home. Would definitely book again.

    Jen was very reliable and personable, and sent an update and photos at each visit. My cat doesn't seem unusually cross with me for going away, so we'll be asking for Jen's help again should the situation arise.

    Jen was fantastic! She was punctual meeting beforehand, gave constant updates throughout, and, best of all, we returned to find a happy cat! No mean feat, considering what an old grumpy fart our cat is! Would recommend for temperamental cats!

    Jennifer was excellent. It was quite a long last minute booking and she was very helpful and flexible for key pick up etc. My cat was a bit stressed at first and she did such a good job of calming him down and he settled quite quickly. She sent regular photos and updates which I really appreciated while I was away. Would definitely recommend and would book again! Jess

    This is not my first review as I've used Jen on numerous occasions now- but she continues to be 'simply the best' in the way she cares for Leona whilst I'm on holiday - keeping in constant touch and sending photos, which always puts your mind at rest. Leona takes a while to come out of her shell but she's certainly formed an attachment to Jen - I think they just know when they have a good person!!!

    This is the second time that Jen has looked after my fluffernutter, Leona. She lives in for the duration we are on holiday. Leona certainly remembered her from last year and appeared very relaxed with her from the very start. She's quite a skittish little fluffball so it was lovely to see her so calm and settled. Jen certainly has a way with cats. She kept in touch by text and sent updates and photos every day so I had a fab time on holiday knowing that all was well at home. I have found a great cat sitter and will have no hesitation in booking her again in the future.

    Would very much recommend!!

    Jen, as usual, took great care of my moggies while I was away. I'm always reassured to know that she is looking after them because they know her now and trust her and I always come home to happy cats, which is wonderful :)

    Jen was fantastic. Our cat usually gets really stressed when we go away and can even get ill from it. Well not this time! She was so chilled out when we got home, she obviously loved having Jen looking after her. Jen was professional and reliable and sent us regular text updates and photos. I will definitely be using her again if she isn't in too much demand!

    Jen is great - always book her if she’s free - she gives medication to my female and puts up with my male cat constantly bringing her presents - dead and alive - he adores her. Highly recommended.

    This was the first time I've used Cat in a Flat and Jen was great - she asked all the right questions when we first met, which showed she cared and knew what she was doing, and seemed to make a real effort with my two cats. They were in great shape when I returned from holiday.

  • 25 May 18

    Vicki B

    London

    Jen looked after my boys again and I was so happy to see - from the photos she sent me each day - how they were happy with her and trusted her. One of my cats had a sore on his nose (from being attacked by another cat a few days before I went away) and Jen kept an eye on it and kept me updated as to how it was looking. Thoroughly recommend Jen if you’re looking for a cat sitter.

  • 9 May 18

    Jen was great! Came and met myself and Daisy before I went away, did exactly what she said she would and sent me pictures of Daisy each time she visited. Kept me updated on how Daisy was doing. Will definitely be having her look after my cat again.

    Jen came over before we went away to get all the information she needed and then came every day we had booked her at the time she had said. She was great in letting us know when she arrived at the flat and sent us loads of pics (she really should be a cat photographer because she got some great ones!) and stayed playing with our cat and updating what our cat was doing. Couldn’t recommend Jen enough and we’ll definitely be booking her in the future.

    Jennifer was a super cat sitter! Being a cat sitter myself, I know what to look out for and Jennifer was very professional from the get-go. I was happy to leave my beloved moggies in her care and I came home to cats who were exactly the same as I left them - a sure sign, in my book, of contendedness!

  • 7 Sept 17

    It was our first time using the service, and Jen made it an absolute pleasure to do so. Communication was great, and when we left on our trip, it was secure in the knowledge that Jen had really taken the time to finalise details with us and learn everything about Miko's usual routine. We had regular updates every day, including photos, which really put our minds at ease; and needless to say, we came home to a super content and happy kitty. Can't praise Jen highly enough for the great job she did - we'll definitely be booking her again in future!

    Jen looked after Leona for a week and was amazing from start to finish. She came to see us a couple of times beforehand and whist away kept me updated every single day with texts and photos. I was a bit worried initially as Leona is very timid and a bit of a 'piner', but by the third day she was jumping on the bed and meowing for attention whilst poor Jen was trying to sleep - I should say she is a Maine Coon and weighs about a stone!!! She definitely has a way with cats and is very caring and attentive to their needs. I would recommend her in an instant and would definitely ask her to sit for Leona on our next holiday.

    Second time I've used Jen - trustworthy and great attitude - the first time Jen looked after them even dealing with my big male cat bringing in an unwanted guest in the early hours which would have terrified me, but Jen took it all in her stride. Highly recommended.

    Jennifer was absolutely amazing! Our cat, Puddy, is an old lady and is in end-stage kidney failure, so we were really worried about leaving her for two weeks. However, Jennifer did such an amazing job looking after her, we came back to a very happy and relaxed kitty. We got updates twice a day (including cute photos of Puddy!) which really put ours minds at ease. Jennifer also made sure Puddy had all her medicine and very kindly took her to the Vet once a week which was a real load off our minds. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Jennifer to anyone looking for a kind & reliable cat sitter - she's brilliant! :-)

    Jennifer was a bit of a hero and helped us by sitting over the long weekend when our friend decided he didn't want to do it at the last minute. We got lots of updates from her and our kitties were looking pretty relaxed when we got back. We really appreciated that she took time to play with them, and she also put up with the more naughty of the two waking her up at the crack of dawn! She also changed their litter for us which meant happy clean kittens :) Thanks Jen!

    I was very nervous about leaving my 6-month old spoiled rotten kitten alone for a week for the first time. I needn't have worried! Jennifer is clearly a person who loves cats, she took lots of time to play with him on every visit which was much appreciated as he is a very playful little guy who loves people! I got lots of detailed updates and pictures of how much fun he was having throughout my trip and came home to a happy cat! Thanks again, would not hesitate to rebook.

    Would definitely recommend Jennifer following the care she gave to my cat Harry. Jennifer was able to accommodate my booking at short notice. She came to meet Harry prior to me leaving to leaving. On my return, I have never seen my cat so relaxed. I got the usual 'telling off' for leaving him but I could see he had been well cared for in my absence. He was so relaxed whereas before with other sitters he's been very agitated and unsettled. Not this time 5/5 rating.

    Thank you again Jennifer.

    I needed someone to come feed Daisy for a few days prior to Christmas and the arrangements were quite last minute. Jennifer was able to accommodate me and Daisy had the best of care and did quite well! She was very friendly and easy to communicate with and coordinate with and that’s something that is very much appreciated in a cat sitter. I would not hesitate to book with Jennifer again and would highly recommend her :)

    My husband and I recently got a gorgeous couple of kittens that are now over 4 months old, but already had a week's holiday pre-booked. Jennifer was very friendly and came prepared; she seemed to connect straight away with my kitties and they loved her! Since they are only young I was wary about leaving them but Jennifer did an excellent job and took extra time to play with them and keep them company! When we arrived back home, it was almost like we never even left. They must have had a good time with Jennifer and been looked after very well, as they were healthy and happy. Overall, Jennifer is a friendly and very trustworthy person to know. I can guarantee your cats or kittens will be left in safe, adoring hands!
