About Me

Caring and Responsible Cat Sitter in Portobello and Surrounding Area

I am a life-long cat lover and live at home with my husband, 2 children at uni and 2 cats: a geriatric tabby called Smudge and a cheeky ragdoll named Quincy.

Having recently taken early retirement from a long primary school teaching career, I have more flexible time to devote to your cats. I've also used Cat in a Flat many times for my own kitties and understand the importance of having someone reliable, responsible and loving for the cats trusted in my care.

I am looking forward to meeting your cats and happy to attend to their particular needs such as feeding, litter, brushing or a friendly cuddle. Regular updates and photos always helped me feel connected to my pets whilst away, so just let me know if you would like this service too!

I am also happy to take out bins, water plants etc. I want to help your holiday go as smoothly as possible.

Unfortunately, I am unable to do overnight visits or boarding as I have 2 cats of my own at home.

    Susanne was great, providing a daily photo and update regarding Olive and helped enjoy our time away knowing that Olive was being cared for. Would strongly recommend Susanne!

    Susanne was a fantastic cat sitter. She sent lots of updates and pictures and our cat was really content and happy. Susanne also watered our plants, took the bins out and generally made sure everything was taken care of. Would highly recommend!

    Susanne stepped in at the last minute to help us and saved our holiday! I'm a nervous owner of two ragdolls and was very stressed about a last minute change in plans for care. Susanne was lovely and clearly very organised, helpful and knowledgeable. She immediately put my nerves at rest. I could relax knowing that I knew they were well cared for.

    Susanne was an enormous help when we unexpectedly needed someone to look after Archie. She always responded to messages quickly and was really clear in communication. Susanne gave daily updates, and spent time with Archie making sure he was ok, and checked the house was safe too. She was super-reliable, and very flexible just when we needed it!

    This is the third time we've booked Suzanne and she's been fantastic every time. She's great with our cats, sends daily updates and it's such a relief knowing they're in safe, responsible hands. Trustworthy, caring and reliable. Highly recommend :)

    Susanne is an excellent cat sitter and I've come home to a very happy and well looked after kitty! I was nervous about leaving my cat and I had never used Cat in a Flat before but Susanne put me at ease from the beginning and I could tell Shuri (my cat) liked her very much from the get go. Can't thank Susanne enough for doing such an amazing job 🥰

    I had a split booking due to circumstances and Susanne was fantastic to deal with. She was a great ability to read the mood of my cat and and my cat clearly enjoyed having Susanne come round too! I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable cat-sitter with great communication and excellent understanding of cats!

    It was my first time using Cat in a Flat and so I was quite nervous about leaving, but I had no reason to be with Susanne! The communication before and during her time was fantastic and really gave me peace of mind. My cat was clearly comfortable from the first visit and I could tell really enjoyed when Susanne came round. Thank you S!!

    Susanne is a great cat sitter. Our cat is always well cared for and relaxed when we arrive home. Susanne is really good at communicating with us via pictures and videos and letting us know our cat is fine. Definitely recommend her services!

    Susanne did an amazing job looking after our 3 cats. She was very friendly and thoughtful at our initial meeting and beyond. She was very communicative, giving us updates at each visit and went above what I could have hoped for. I’ll definitely be booking her again for my future pet sitting needs!

    Susanne looked after our 2 cats while we were away for a week. She was brilliant :D she sent us updates with every visit and took time to get to know them and their individual personalities. We felt really comfortable that our furry babies and our house were in good hands while we were away. Highly recommend and we will be booking her again :)

    Susanne was honestly amazing! We had daily updates and pictures of our kitties. She went above and beyond what we asked by playing with them and making sure our older (less greedy!) Cat got plenty of treats and food. She also changed the cats litter and took our bin in for us.

    Can't recommend Susanne enough - thanks again! :)

    We found Susanne to be a caring and responsible catsitter, who even visited our cat an extra time, while we were away, since she was worried for him. She was very good with updating us daily and we will recommend her with no hesitation.

    First class service from Susanne. We were able to enjoy our holiday knowing that our cat was well looked after. We have no hesitation in recommending Susanne to other cat owners!
