About Me

Responsible and friendly cat sitter in Southampton

Hi!

My name is Ida and I live in Southampton with my partner and our cat Elrond.

I've had cats all my life, which has made me a massive cat lover and given me a lot of knowledge about how to look after them so they stay happy and healthy. Having looked after many different cats, I appreciate that every cat has its own lovely personality and individual needs. You can count on me to offer your cat lots of cuddles, but also respect their personal space!

I'm responsible, organised and reliable. I work full time so can do morning and evening visits.

It's important to me that your cat feels safe and happy. If you book me as your cat sitter, I will arrange to meet with you and your cat beforehand for free, give your cat fresh food and water daily, clean the bowls and litter trays, make lots of time for play and cuddles, and send you daily updates and photos.

I'm also happy to water the plants, collect the post and take the bins out if needed.

If there's anything else you need that I haven't mentioned, or if you have any questions, just drop me a message!

    Ida was wonderful as ever, my cats really enjoy her looking after them (as seen in the photos and videos she sent daily!) She even made an extra visit and reprogrammed the timed feeders to work around a scheduling conflict, which was great. Would absolutely recommend her.

    Great service and would book again. Ida watered my balcony plants too and tried to find a missing item for me which was very kind.

    I was glad Ida was available to look after my two cats again while I was away. She plays with them a lot and they are totally happy and relaxed with her, I can tell the difference when I get home!

    Ida was reliable, visited at the times required, and she sent photos. We met her beforehand and she was asking all of the right questions which gave us great confidence to book.

    I booked Ida again to look after my cats while I was away, they're always so relaxed when I return and definitely enjoy her looking after them :-) She even had to reprogram the timer on the automated feeder after she noticed it was wrong, a good sign of how conscientious she is! Would love to have her back again in future.

    I happily booked Ida again after she looked after my cats a few months ago - the cats definitely loved her being there and she again looked after them well, sent me photos each day, and is very reliable and communicative so would definitely recommend her :-)

    Ida was absolutely wonderful in taking care of my cats especially one of my cats who needed medication,Ida had the patients to give him medication every day even though he is hard to give medication to. I was sent updates and photos daily, communication was great throughout. I would definitely have Ida look after my cats if we go away again😊

    Ida looked after my two cats for 10 days while I was away. She did a wonderful job and the cats were very happy and relaxed when I returned. Ida sent me updates with photos every day, she stayed and played with the cats and they clearly loved her being there! I would love to book her again in future, and would highly recommend her to anyone else!

    We were so concerned our beloved cat would be distressed by us taking a holiday, especially as we haven't left him since the pandemic. Ida was amazing, sending us photos and videos every day. He was so happy with her, and that made our holiday very enjoyable indeed. Thanks so much Ida, you're a star, I hope Bongo doesn't miss you too much!

    We booked Ida to catsit our cat for a week and are very happy with how It went. She took a good care of our cat, always sent updates and did a video call with us to update. She even went beyond by calling the maintenance when our neighbours flooded our flat and cleaned everything herself as well. We will definately book Ida again in the future.

    Great cat sitter! Booked Ida for overnights twice now and she stayed for plenty of time, sent updates and I came home to a happy cat. Would definitely recommend!

    Ida did a most fantastic job at looking after our cat. She was immediately liked and accepted. She communicated with us regularly and sent us heart-warming updates. It was clear that our cat felt extremely comfortable in Ida's company. We'd like to extend our thanks and appreciation to Ida for going above and beyond. Carina & Marinus

    We are very happy with how Ida looked after our cat Sherlock, she went over and above what we expected, spending lots of time with him and sending us updates after every visit. We would definitely recommend Ida and would be happy for her to look after Sherlock again in the future.

    Cannot rate Ida high enough and will definitely be using her again in the future. Both of my cats took an instant liking to her and I felt so ease with leaving them in her care. Ida sent me updates and pictures every day of my very happy cats! Highly highly recommend!

    Ida looked after our old lady Nessie, we are new to the area so Nessie is in a new environment and Ida was very reassuring for her. Ida sent us regular updates and everything went without a hitch. We will 100% use Ida again and can certainly recommend her to anyone.

    Ida looked after our Zoey while we were away for our wedding. It was the first time I've had to leave Zoey overnight and Ida was so lovely and reassuring. I really did feel relaxed knowing Ida was there

    Thank you so much Ida for the excellent communication and care. Would definitely recommend you to anyone who is nervous about leaving their fur babies and we hope to use your services again in the future (hopefully Zoey will be on her best behaviour by then)!
