About Me

Cat sitter in Edinburgh

Hi there!

I'm Jo - Stockbridge resident and self-confessed crazy cat lady! By day I work in consulting and by night I come home to be owned by my two gorgeous kitties, Mambo and Miko. Mambo is a silver grey moggy and we think Miko is a little bit of Norweigan Forest so they're pretty handsome! If one gets attention, the other cries for it too, and they love getting played with (especially with the laser pen). But nothing beats snuggling up with them on the sofa for purry cuddles at the end of the day. I've had my own cats for around 15 years now, one of them from a kitten and two as rescues.

I always worry about my cats when I'm away but I know how expensive catteries can be. Plus it can be a bit traumatic for them I find. I think it's nice for them to stay in their own house but still get regular company. I cat sit for friends, and I love to look after other kitties too.

I live in Comely Bank and work in town so can sit for cats in Stockbridge/Comely Bank, New Town, and the Queensferry St/Dean Bridge part of the West End.

    Joanna was amazing and always kept us regularly updated with cute and funny photos of Burrito. It was so lovely to receive regular updates and we could see he was in the best hands whilst we were away. Can't recommend Joanna enough and will definitely be using her services again 😻

    Jo did a fabulous job of looking after our two ragdolls. She was kind enough to do this booking last minute and spent extra time with my boy in the evenings to keep him calm. They were very well looked after and we received lots of pictures of them both every day. Thanks again Jo!

    Jo is a brilliant Catsitter - she respected the boundaries of my super grumpy (much missed) 18 yo old and is happy to play with my utterly bonkers kitten. She even went above and beyond when I locked myself out of my house - recommended

    Joanna was always brilliant with my ‘please leave me alone unless you have Dreamies’ elderly cat, she is now equally brilliant with my teeny ‘play with me for hours and watch me eat’ kitten (and with me as a fairly anxious without my cats cat owner). Really recommend her as a sitter
