About Me

Experienced and Reliable Full Time Professional Cat Sitter

🐰 Now taking Easter bookings 🐰

I am a professional full time cat sitter and dog walker and would love to help out with looking after your kitty. I have been doing this amazing job now for 8 years and have looked after so many wonderful cats. I love what I do!

Why have your cat visited by me?

  • Company and play time for your cat when you are on holiday or away for the weekend.

  • Food and water will be topped up daily, and your little bundle of fluff will get a Dreamie or two while I'm there!

  • Mental stimulation and play time while she is on her own

  • Kitty litter trays will be cleaned out and freshened up.

I love being a cat sitter. They are very independent and unlike dogs can fend for themselves while their owners are away. They still need some mental stimulation and play time, and of course their food and water replenished! This is where my cat sitting service can help. I can pop in on your cat once or twice a day, whichever you prefer and give him cuddles and play, and make sure he has enough food and water. I will ensure that his kitty litter box is clean and fresh, and can make sure your plants are watered and letters picked up.

I am very experienced in administering medication to cats, including administering tablets and liquid medicine directly into their mouth and administering asthma inhalers.

I hold a Disclosure Scotland police check.

Also please note that my rate for weekend visits is £15. Thank you

    Laura is a professional that we will trust again and again! We had used a cattery before and our cat, Simon, got so ill and starved for 4 days! We were so worried about going on trips-- Now, Laura is our solution! We came home to a a happy boy and a tidy home! She kept us informed from beginning to end and was so kind. Thank you so much!

    Laura went above and beyond to make sure our fur baby was seen to. She handled a very stressful last minute booking with great understanding and professionalism. Lauras quick response and updates eased any worries of being away. It’s obvious she deeply cares for not only the pets but their owners well-being too. Highly recommend Laura!

    I’m super pleased with Laura. She looked after my normally shy British shorthair Paddington for a weekend and he was very flirty and friendly with her. She did an amazing job updating me and taking great photos and I came home to a happy kitty. Would recommend to all.

    Awesome superb life saver would be an understatement. Laura was lovely and me being a super worried furry momma always went extra mile to keep me calm. She is absolutely brilliant in giving medicines, a lot of sitter here advertises but are actually not good but Laura is. She took care of my boy who takes medicines and inhaler and all was good for 2 weeks. She is confident and willing to learn open heartedly to help the kitty. When we walked in my kitty still looking at door looking for his Aunty Laura says it all. Please please do not think twice to have Laura around for your babies. She is really the best and trust me I dont even sometimes trust my husband with my furry baby 😉

    Laura offered really great care for Myshkin. She was relaxed and happy when I came home, and so silky from all the brushing she received! I highly recommend Laura - she's everything you need from a catsitter: organised, friendly, experienced, reliable and an obvious animal lover. I felt like I could really enjoy my holiday knowing Myshkin was being well looked after.

    Laura was excellent. Her daily updates were prompt and thorough. She took care of the cats over Christmas, which removed a lot of the anxiety over the festive period. Most of all, though, the cats were happy and well-fed upon our return. Definitely recommended.

    This was my first time using the Cat in a Flat site and Laura's profile leapt out at me as being someone I could rely on to look after my cat. When we met beforehand she took detailed notes of all my cats requirements and funny habits etc. and whilst I was away didn't disappoint, my cat was very well looked after. I'd have no hesitation recommending Laura as a cat sitter.

    Laura did a great job looking after my cat, and as my sister dropped by while I was away she was also able to see how well Laura seemed to be looking after the cat. I was away for 3 weeks and a real advantage to feel she was safe and well looked after in her own home.

  • 13 Aug 16

    Doreen R

    Laura was fantastic - she came over before we left and made detailed notes about my 17 yr old cat Tiger. When we were away she sent regular updates which were very reassuring as I had been a bit anxious about being away for 3 wks. When I got home Tiger was very relaxed and chill and I could immediately tell that he had been very well looked after. I would highly recommend Laura!!!!
