About Me

Edinburgh Cat Sitting (based in/around Davidson’s Mains)

Hi! I’m Chelsea, an originally graduated Mechanical Engineer now working in Project Management from the North East of England initially and living in Edinburgh for my job with Leonardo UK. Working with Leonardo means I’m fully security cleared with the Ministry of Defence and therefore would never put that in jeopardy!

From being born to this day my family have owned cats and I’ve been tasked to look after them on parents/grandparents holidays for many years. Mimi was my grandparents cat, she was older than me but unfortunately passed at a beautiful age of 23. My grandparents deemed me a cat wisperer as I was the only one in the family who could pick her up without her squealing as soon as her feet left the ground!

My parents then had Freddie following Mimi’s passing, but unfortunately Freddie needed more outdoor space than we could give him and we had one too many appointments at vets for cuts and bruises, so we sent him to a wonderful family where he is now still very well looked after!

Now my partner and I have our baby Bella, she’s the love of my life (as is every cat I come across), she’s our family baby and is adored by all - often have visits from family just to see her rather than us!

I feel very confident in reading what cats need: a couple of treats, a good nap, a play, the next dose of medicine… I care very deeply for them and feel a connection with every little (or big) kitty I meet. I will always respect a cats space because I know it’s so important to them, and I know how important they are to their parents too!

    This is the third year we've booked with Chelsea. We are always so impressed with how trustworthy, caring and responsible she is. She takes amazing care of our cat, Callie, and I'm never worried about leaving her with Chelsea. Thank you, again!

    Chelsea was an ideal cat sitter. She was professional, organised and reliable. It was so straightforward to arrange and she sent regular updates while we were away. And we came back to a happy, healthy cat!

    This was our third time booking with Chelsea, and we have her booked again in the summer. She is reliable, responsible and always does a little more than asked. Chelsea has become one of only a handful of people whom our cat, Callie, is comfortable with. I have no hesitation in recommending Chelsea.

    Chelsea was an amazing cat sitter for our three cats! She was very friendly and professional, and the cats clearly loved her. She spent plenty of time playing with them, beyond just feeding and cleaning up after them. We came back to three very happy and healthy cats, and we would highly recommend Chelsea to anyone.

    Chelsea was so lovely and attentive to our Elvis. I was quite nervous to leave him but Chelsea was great with sending regular updates and pictures and even stayed for some time to interact with my little one. Highly recommend x

    Just got back from holiday and our cat was still settled and happy as she normally is. Chelsea was an attentive sitter who didn't just do the bare minimum. She understood what our cat needed and delivered. She asked questions to make sure everything was okay with us and gave us regular updates. Thanks so much Chelsea!

    Chelsea is fantastic and I came home to a very happy cat, after leaving her for two nights. I was very anxious about leaving my cat in a new flat, but Chelsea fed her, played with her and was great at communicating with me, to give me peace of mind. I'll definitely be asking Chelsea if she'd sit for me again.

    Cat was very happy and Chelsea always looked out for him, when he was drinking more than we realised she was quick to place more bowls of water for him.

    Chelsea was a great cat sitter! We went away for 2 nights, leaving our one-year old cat Huey, and Chelsea popped in twice a day to feed and play with him.

    She was really communicative, sending us pictures and updates after each visit so we were reassured but also given time to relax on our break. Huey clearly felt very comfortable around Chelsea - giving her cuddles and playing/eating well throughout. We came back to a very relaxed cat (which is never guaranteed with Huey!) so was evidently very well taken care of.

    We'd absolutely recommend Chelsea as a cat-sitter and will certainly be in touch again next time we're away.

    Chelsea has been so great with sending updates and photos and really helped us feel confident that we left our cat in safe hands. It was the first time we had left him and the experience couldn’t have been better for us! Thanks so much ❤️

    If I could leave Chelsea 6 stars I would. I've had to leave Chip for longer than I'd like (8 nights) and Chelsea has spend lots of time keeping him company, given me really honest updates about how he's been doing (as he did start making an unusual mess of his litter tray) and even spent a longer evening here supervising him outside (he's just learning) and dealing with all the complications that come with a curious young cat! Cannot recommend highly enough!

    Chelsea is a great cat sitter. She seems to genuinely love spending time with Chip, sends regular updates, and always asks if there's anything she's not sure of while taking care of him. Been away a week and come back to a very relaxed cat.

    Chelsea was brilliant at updating anxious me worried about leaving two young cats for the first time. Took time to encourage the youngest to come out his shell and I returned to two very happy cats and a lovely clean litter tray - wonderful!

    Chelsea was friendly, efficient, stayed in touch while we were away, and the cats were clearly cuddled and cared for extremely well. We came back after 10 days to happy cats, and had no worries while we were away. I suspect the cats are a little disappointed not to have their twice daily cuddle visits!

    Just come home to one very happy cat! Chelsea gave a daily update and has clearly spent lots of time playing and keeping Chip company as well as feeding him. Great, quick communication. Highly recommend :)
