About Me

Friendly cat sitting around High Royds, Menston and Guiseley

I'm a 40-ish year old university lecturer. I often work from home and my hours are quite flexible, which means I have the fantastic opportunity to meet some extra kitties by offering cat sitting. I have a clear DBS check from my employer (available on request). I cover High Royds and approx. a 1 mile radius (i.e. Menston & Guiseley).

I've had cats most of my life and I'm currently the proud owner of a grey tuxedo boy called Sooty. All of my cats have been rescues/strays, so I have plenty of experience with shy/nervous cats. I have also looked after playful kittens, sassy cats, long-haired breeds, multi-cat households, cats requiring medication, and both indoor and outdoor cats. According to Sooty, I'm a wizz with the lazer pointer and give excellent belly rubs and head tickles.

For peace of mind, I like to offer an introductory visit (free of charge) to meet you and your cat(s) and to discuss their requirements. Obviously no obligation to go ahead with the booking if you don't think we're a match.

Thereafter, I can provide one or two visits a day lasting around 30 mins each. This can include feeding, changing litter trays, grooming, and if it suits your cat(s) temperament, play time and cuddles too. I can also help with other small tasks such as opening/closing curtains, putting bins out, watering houseplants, etc. If you would like a longer visit, perhaps to give your cat(s) a little bit of extra company, please let me know and I'll do my best to accommodate.

I know it can be nerve-wracking leaving your furball behind when you go away - I'm always happy to share daily updates and photographs.

    Kathryn is an absolutely brilliant cat sitter! This is the second time she has looked after our cat. Her caring attention to Merlin has meant that we have been able to fully enjoy our holiday with complete confidence that he was well cared for. Kathryn is extremely reliable, and sends us wonderful updates about Merlin each day...which we loved!

    Kathryn was brilliant with my cat Milo, she sent me updates and pictures and gave him lots of affection. She was also available short notice and came over beforehand to see what was needed. Would highly recommend!

    The is the second time Kathryn has looked after my cat and it was another good visit. Kathryn looked after my timid cat with great care and I came home to a relaxed and happy cat. The regular updates and photos were really appreciated

    Kathryn provided a wonderful service visiting my cat Mabel. She sent photos and updates on both visits and Mabel loved her. Would most definitely use Kathryn again 🐾

    Kathryn is a wonderful cat sitter. We will certainly book her again and highly recommend her! She was so attentive and caring towards our cat Merlin that we were totally confident he would be fine while we were away for a week. The photos and messages each day confirmed this. Also Kathryn is reliable and clear in all communications. She's a star!

    Really good experience. Lots of regular communication and photos after each visit. Gave medication as required. My very shy cat didn't hide during visits which was nice to see and my cat was relaxed and content when I came home. Many thanks.

    We highly recommend Kathryn! Our cat Merlin is shy, but he immediately trusted Kathryn, which meant that we felt more at ease to go on holiday knowing he was in safe hands. Kathryn made the whole process easy. We appreciated the free visit to get to know her, the clear and swift communication, and the photos of Merlin looking happy on her visit.

    This was our second booking with Kathryn and I can highly recommend her! She is honest and reliable and has kept me once again informed of what the cat was up to whilst we were away. Thank you for taking such great care of Luli.
