About Me
Experienced cat sitter in South Edinburgh
I live in Murrayfield with my partner and stepson, and until very recently my 17 year old cat, Izzie, who I adopted from a rescue shelter 16 years ago. As an elderly lady Izzie was on a number of pills, so I am used to administering medication and the complex needs of our feline family members. I'm a lecturer at the University of Edinburgh at the Little France campus so I travel across the south of Edinburgh daily, and I'm happy to make multiple visits a day to see your kitties.
I'm happy to put out food, change water, clean litter trays, and groom and play with your furry felines or simply sit and let them come to me. I'll also happily water plants, open and close curtains and put out bins, etc. while you're away.

EdinburghElaine is attentive and caring. She listened to my concerns about leaving my cat and made sure she understood her routine. My cat is nervous of people she doesn't know, but she was very happy around Elaine. I got photos and updates which reassured me that my cat was in safe hands. I can't thank Elaine enough for looking after my special friend.

EdinburghElaine was great, we came home to very happy and relaxed cats. I really liked that Elaine kept me updated with lots of pictures during her visits and when one of the cats was sick, she let me know and kept an eye on his behaviour to make sure he was okay. Thanks Elaine!!

.This is the 3rd or 4th time that Elaine has looked after the cats. She always sends messages every day and photos - which is really appreciated. Came home to happy and healthy cats so can’t really ask for more! I would be happy to book Elaine in the future and recommend to her anyone!

EdinburghVery happy with Elaine looking after my kitties again. They like her company and when I return, it's as if I've not been away which is what you hope for when you have anxious cats.

.Excellent service from Elaine! Not only did she look after our cat very well, she helped me out with with a couple of other things that she didn’t need to whilst we were away. We got daily updates from Elaine and would totally recommend her services. Thanks Elaine!
-

EdinburghElaine was fantastic. Booked her twice so far and both myself and the kitties are happy with her service.

EdinburghWe were a bit anxious about leaving Mia for 12 days as she had never been alone for that long. Elaine was excellent at communicating with us from the beginning and kept us updated with photos and videos throughout the whole time we were away. We came home to a happy cat and would book Elaine again in the future if needed.

EdinburghElaine looked after my cats for 4 days on such short notice. She was super helpful with this being my first booking on Cat In A Flat. I came back home to happy kitties and would book Elaine every time I'm away now!

EdinburghElaine was a terrific cat sitter. It was the first time both my partner and I were away since adopting Trico, and Elaine was incredibly patient with our questions and requests and enthusiastic for taking care of him. She made sure to send us updates and pictures when she visited and we came home to a happy and healthy boy.
-

.This is the second time I’ve booked Elaine to look after my cat. I would recommend her to anyone. Her daily updates and photos (when the cats allowed!) were great to get. Came home to happy and healthy cats. I will definitely be booking Elaine again in the future!

EdinburghElaine has helped us out a lot this past year by caring for the boys when we’ve had to go away and support a couple of family members with their illnesses. I always think it’s one less worry knowing that Elaine checks in on Lenny & Percy every day and sends daily updates & photos. She also takes time out to stroke, brush and play with them, which is very kind. Thank you Elaine! 😊
-
Sarah C
EdinburghThank you Elaine for looking after the boys and sending daily updates & photos! 😊

Elaine D
.Came home to a very happy and healthy cat! That’s the number 1 priority for me. Elaine was absolutely fantastic. She sent me messages everyday to let me know how my cat was getting on - including photos. Really put my mind at ease that everything was going okay. My cat was a bit shy at first but then came out to play with Elaine after a couple days - which shows that he knew he was safe enough around her. Elaine was also kind enough to bring in my post and water my plants for me. I would 100% recommend Elaine to anyone else and will absolutely ask her to cat sit for me again in the future!

EdinburghElaine recently visited and fed our cats, Archie and Georgie, twice every day for nearly two weeks. As we have not left them for such protracted period during the last two years, I was wondering how they would cope without us! But Elaine very quickly put my mind at rest - she is clearly a ‘natural’ with cats! She fed both twice every day, gave Archie his medication, and played with them and cared for them really well. Elaine maintained regular text communication with me, and sent twice daily photos of Archie and Georgie looking well and happy - and often purring on her knee 😻 She was ultra-reliable in every way, and also took in our mail, and put out our bins. I had no worries at all about the house or our cats whilst we were away, and both cats were happy and well-cared-for when we returned home. Would have no hesitation about recommending Elaine as a lovely and reliable cat-sitter

Sarah P
EdinburghI was very happy to find Elaine, who looked after our cat for 3 nights. She was very communicative and experienced in looking after cats, and the regular updates were great! Would highly recommend her.
-
Sarah C
EdinburghWe can’t recommend Elaine enough, she’s very friendly and helpful and always sends regular updates so we know how our cats are doing. She also takes time to make a fuss of them and brush them for us. This means we can relax knowing that we’ll come home to happy, relaxed cats. Thank you Elaine! :)
-
Sarah C
EdinburghCame home to happy & relaxed boys as usual, thanks Elaine! Also thank you for taking the time to sit and play with them, and brush them.

LondonElaine was excellent, as always - sent photos from every visit, kept our cats happy and fed and even managed to coax shy Greta out of hiding, which is feat itself. Thanks again, Elaine!

Sarah C
EdinburghElaine was able to step in at short notice and help us as we dealt with a family bereavement, for which we’re very grateful. Despite it being a difficult time we felt reassured that our cats were being well cared for. Elaine sent us daily updates so we knew they were both well and we returned to two happy cats.
-
Sarah C

EDINBURGHElaine did a fab job of looking after my little furr baby Daisy. Daisy is still a little anxious when I go away since lockdown and did not come out to see Elaine last time. This time round she would sneak out so Elaine could see she was OK. Elaine sent me photos and videos so I could see and hear that Daisy was doing OK without me and did not have to worry while away! 😊
-
Sarah C
EdinburghWe went away for a longer period than we have previously, but as always, Elaine sent photos of the cats to provide daily updates and my husband returned home to happy, well looked after cats.
-
Sarah C
EdinburghWe’re very grateful to Elaine for helping us out at short notice and keeping an eye on the boys this weekend. She sent regular texts with photos so we knew they were healthy and happy. We came home to two very content cats as per usual.

EDINBURGHThis was the first time Daisy has been close to another human being since March so she was pretty apprehensive and hid from Elaine for most of the week! Elaine was great at keeping me updated and even sent me a video of meows so I could hear Daisy even if she was still hiding!
-
Sarah C
EdinburghCame home to happy, well looked after cats as usual. Thanks Elaine!

EdinburghI can highly recommend Elaine to look after your cat. We get complete piece of mind knowing he is being well looked after and the pictures of Luna sent while we were on holiday were very much appreciated! Many Thanks for looking after Luna again for us!
-
Gordon C
LondonElaine was a great cat sitter! She visited out two cats while we were away for a few days, was very communicative, sends pictures of our cats during her visits, even dealt with an unexpected mouse casualty no questions asked! Would definitely ask her to look after our cats again.
-
Sharon J
EdinburghElaine looked after our cat Saffy over a weekend. We had never used a cat sitter before but were looking for more convenience than booking a cattery and she is always very stressed in that situation. Elaine was great, came over beforehand to see what was needed and sent us messages and photos while we were away so that we knew she was ok. We certainly came back to a very happy cat and we will certainly book Elaine again next time we're away.
-
Kirsten A
EdinburghElaine was wonderful looking after Rosie. I got photos after every visit and communication was great. Rosie was happy when I got home and I will definitely be booking Elaine again.
