About Me

Cat sitter in Alfreton

Hi! I'm Caroline. I've owned cats (or rather, been owned by cats!) for about 35 years. I currently have three; 12 year old Eva who came via a rescue shelter; she'd been found under a garden shed with her 2 kittens. Eva took a little time to settle in but soon gained confidence.

I also have Dougal and Dylan, who joined the family in July 2022 as young kittens from a local rescue. They are full of mischief and energy 😻

I'm currently a 'lady of leisure' which would allow me to be flexible with visits to suit your cat's needs - feeding, fussing, playing, cleaning trays etc. I'd also be happy to water your plants, move any post etc and keep you fully posted with updates and/or photos as you require.

My previous employment with a local college means I have been DBS checked several times in the past, I am in the process of applying for another, to ensure it is up-to-date.

If you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact me, I'd love to hear from you.

    First time I have had a cat sitter! As soon as I met Caroline, my anxiety seemed to melt away., Caroline is calm, reliable and, a cat lover, like me. She sent 3 pics every day and we arrived home to find George fast asleep on the settee. Very contented, in fact it made a change for him not to be waiting in the hall for our arrival home. Brilliant!

    Amazing service as always. Caroline gave Timmy his medication as requested and updated us everyday with pics. We wouldn't want anyone else looking after our cats when we are away. Caroline is brilliant and we know our 2 will be treated like family. Cannot praise highly enough.

    We have used Caroline before and always check to see if she is available before we book! We know we are in safe hands when Caroline is looking after our 2 cats. She sends daily updates which gives us confidence that all is well. Really recommend Caroline if you haven’t used a service like this before because you will have complete piece of mind.

    Caroline was fabulous, as always. Came back to 3 happy and relaxed cats. I would probably rearrange my holidays to make sure Caroline was free to look after them now!

    Just amazing 🌟 We've been booking Caroline to look after Gracie and Tommy for over 2 yrs now and have no hesitation in recommending her. She always checks in first before we go away to see if there is anything she needs to be aware of, then while away, photos and update after each visit. Always happy kitties on our return. Thank you Caroline x

    Caroline is an absolute star, Sarge loves having her come to look after him, she is very reliable,l and goes above and beyond we would be lost without her. Nothing is too much trouble, helps with bins and post. Caroline gives us daily communication when we are away. A true carer for animals xx

    Our first time with CinF and Caroline has been brilliant. She came for a meet and greet a few days before we went away and you can see she's very experienced. Our cats loved her. Caroline came whilst we were away and sent me some photos to reassure me they were fine. We will definitely be booking again. Thank you.

    We wouldn't want anyone else to care for our cats. Caroline is amazing with our two. She has a really calm and quiet demeanour. She is consistent and there are photos every day. Nothing is too much trouble for her. We feel happy leaving the cats in her care and know they will be extremely well looked after.

    Caroline was absolutely brilliant yet again whilst looking after my 3 slightly temperamental cats. It makes a real difference knowing they're safe, looked after and getting some cuddles. She also takes and sends fab pics of the cats 😻

    Caroline was excellent with our three cats! She went above and beyond, even hoovering litter around the house. The cats settled with her very quickly and she sent us daily updates which gave us a peace of mind. We will definitely be asking Caroline to cat sit again when we next go on holiday and would recommend her to others!

    Caroline was absolutely wonderful with our two cats. She sent us lovely pictures, every day, of them whilst we were away. It was so reassuring to have her come in twice a day to sort them in their own home rather than a cattery. No doubt in our minds to book her again when we go away. 5 stars wish there was more to give.

    Sarge loves having Caroline round to check up on him. Always a reassurance knowing we have regular updates and pictures to see what Sarge has been upto. We would be lost without having Caroline to look after Sarge and also check on the house. Thankyou and we appreciate the hardwork you do for Sarge.

    Caroline is a wonderful cat sitter. She has looked after our cat for the past week and on each visit there were pictures and a message on how he was doing and if he'd eaten his food etc. We have used her on several occasions now Wouldn't want to use anyone else. Our cat seems perfectly happy on our return. Thanks Caroline.

    Caroline was absolutely great when looking after my 3 - somewhat temperamental - cats. They were happy and content in her care and I was happy and content because of the photos she sent me whilst I was away. Caroline came and met the cats twice beforehand, followed all the guidance I left and I will definitely be asking her to cat sit again.

    We had a good break away and knowing that our cats are well looked after makes everything less stressful. Caroline kept us up to date with messages and photos. She has a very calming effect which my nervous cats appreciate. 100% recommend Caroline to anyone thinking of booking a cat sitter.

    Caroline is an amazing cat sitter. Timmy is more than happy to be cared for by her. She is so lovely and caters to his every need (he has some quite specific needs). Caroline plays and fusses him and he is more than happy to engage with her. Wouldn't want to use anyone else.

    Caroline visited out boys recently while we were away. She sent text to say she had seen them, always good news, when you have 2 hide away cats. Will definitely use her again in the future

    We use Caroline every time we go away on breaks or holidays and we would be lost without her. Sarge loves her, he was so happy when we got back, just like he is normally, no change or upset because we were away. Always get daily updates and she is perfect for looking after your cats.

    We can't thank Caroline enough. Always a worry when you go away, but Gracie & Tommy have been so well looked after, and are so settled on our return. Great communication throughout the booking process, and then daily updates and pictures have been the added bonus while away, giving peace of mind they're happy. Cannot recommend enough!! Thank you so much Caroline 😻

    We were really worried about leaving Timmy because we have only had him a short time. We needn't have worried at all. Caroline was brilliant. Sent us pictures at every visit and played with him and fussed him. Left everything clean and tidy for our return too. Will definately use her services again. Timmy seemed very happy too. Thank you Caroline.

    I felt very comfortable leaving my cats with Caroline - she has a very calming nature as my cats are rather nervous I knew they would feel happy to be looked after by her. She kept us up to date with photos and updates of each visit, with not having a holiday for a while - I looked forward to receiving them.I highly recommend Caroline to look after anyone’s cats and will hopefully have another break myself now I know my cats are in safe hands whilst I’m away. Thank you very much

    This was the first time I have used a cat sitter and I was extremely happy with Caroline who was fantastic. I came home to a calm and happy cat who had obviously been well looked after. I had daily updates and pictures and was pleased to see that my cat, who is not the most sociable, was enjoying the fuss that was being made of him. I would certainly recommend Caroline and will be booking her again next time I go away.

She had brought all necessary paperwork and was totally professional. Daily updates and pics and everything in order upon my return. I will be using Caroline again and feel fortunate to have met her.

    This was our first time using a cat sitter and we were very happy to come across Caroline. Ludwig is a rescue cat, and kennels wouldn't work for him, so this was the perfect solution. Getting daily pictures, and coming back to a happy cat means that we will definitely contact Caroline again when we go away. She is professional, trustworthy and clearly a cat lover, so I can't recommend her enough.
