About Me

Cat Sitting Durham

Hi, I'm Sarah, a research assistant at Durham University. I live in Durham year-round not just during term time so I'll be available to cat sit any time of the year (as long as I'm not away on holiday myself!).

I've been a cat-owner and cat-lover since birth, and I currently have a 8 year old naughty Tortie called Bean who is a housecat.

Despite having my own cat(s) I've always befriended any cat I meet whether by chance on the street or through friends and petsitting for neighbours. It would be my pleasure to take care of your kitty for you while you're away :)

I can cover roughly a 5 mile radius from the little Sainsbury's in Gilesgate, however I do have a car so if you live further than that but would like me to cat sit for you please let me know how far away you live and we can discuss it to see if the distance is manageable. I am happy to feed, refresh water, scoop (and clean if your trip is long enough to require it) litter trays, provide treats if you're happy for me to do so, and most importantly play with and give some love and attention to your cat while you're away. Visits will last approximately 20-40 minutes depending on how much needs doing. I don't have experience administering medication so I don't currently offer that service. My own cat is a housecat so I am used to being careful about not letting cats out when entering a property. I'll also happily send photos and videos of your cat during my visits so you can see how they're getting on. I'm also happy to do other basic jobs like watering plants, opening/closing curtains, and setting aside the post if you'd like. If there's anything that you'd like me to do that I haven't listed, please let me know in your message and we can definitely discuss it and see if it's something I can do :)

    Sarah came round before we went away to double-check the requirements for looking after our cats. She kept us informed of our cats' daily comings and goings while we were away and the cats were content on our return. Altogether, it was a worry-free experience and we would be happy to use Sarah as a cat sitter again.

    Sarah was reliable, coming round to discuss what our cats needed before our time away. She kept us informed after each visit as to how the cats were getting on which was very reassuring. Thanks Sarah!

    We’ve used Sarah to catsit our cats for over a year now. The cats are always relaxed and happy whenever we are back. ☺️

    We normally use catteries when going away but wanted to try a cat sitter as it would be less stressful for our boys. Sarah visited our cats 4 times over 3 days playing with, grooming and feeding them. The boys took to her immediately (Unusual for one of them!), and she spent more time than requested with them. We can't thank her enough!! 10/10

She also sent us updates regularly everyday, did lextra things for us also like opening curtains , putting water in the basil plant pot and putting some seeds out for the birds every other day. Thanks Sarah!

    Sarah is quick at replying to my messages and we quickly set up the first meeting. She looked after my cats well on the weekend we were away and did everything we asked and sent regular updates with photos. Would definitely recommend using Sarah as a catsitter :)
