About Me
Cat sitter in Edinburgh
Hi there,
My name is Lauren, I'm 35 years old and live in the central Edinburgh area.
I currently work at Edinburgh University full time and also study Environmental Science part time with the Open University.
I am an experienced cat sitter having worked from catinaflat for 6 years. I have had much success with timid kitties and I enjoy taking the time to get to know every one of my furry clients individually and provide the service they need. I have done 2 weeks voluntary training at my vets surgery where I learned a multitude of skills in dealing with stressed/unwell animals.
I have 3 cat babies myself, my oldest is 14 and her 2 little ones are 8.
I am aware how stressful it can be to leave your cats home alone and will do my best to keep them company while doing any necessary jobs - litter cleans, feeding, giving medicines, playing games. Anything needing done you can show me when I come round to meet you and the cats and learn their routine.
I am also happy to have you contact me as often as you'd like and will send picture updates at every visit. I can also water plants, close curtains, move mail, any little jobs to make the cats' routine as normal as possible.
If you have any questions please feel free to send me a message :)

Flat 20, 24 Slateford GaitLauren did a great job taking care of my 2 cats for a week. She took good care making sure both cats were well fed (a hard job as one of them steals food from the other) and befriended them both by the end of the week (even a harder job!)

EdinburghThis was our first time leaving our cat with a sitter in a long time but luckily with Lauren she was in very safe hands. Lauren was amazing. She met us beforehand to chat about our cat routine and was kind enough to send regular text, photo and video updates while we were away. She clearly cares about the needs of her fluffy charges and their owners. I think our cat might actually prefer Lauren to us!

EdinburghLauren was fantastic looking after my cat Clementine. She kindly came round to meet Clementine beforehand, and sent me regular updates, photos and check-ins whilst I was away. She was entirely reassuring (particularly as this was my first time leaving Clementine with a sitter) and I arrived back home to a very happy little cat. Clem has since gone to the door purring every time she hears the buzzer go. We hope Lauren will come again!
-

EdinburghCouldn't have asked for a better cat sitter, Lauren was really great with my boy, sending me daily updates and pictures 🥰. She was very flexible with the dates, took Luke outside to the garden and offered to go several times a day to the flat if needed. Not to mention that Luke absolutely loves her! Very happy I found Lauren and it put my mind at ease during my holiday knowing Luke was in great hands. Thank you!

EdinburghThis was the first time for Lauren to look after our fur baby Simba and he loved her. He is an old boy and needs a little extra love and attention and Lauren was great for this. It also meant that we have a great couple of days away without worrying. Simba is looking forward to our next break. Thanks Lauren Mairi

EdinburghLauren looked after Ralph wonderfully. Ralph has a special diet so his feeding routine can be a little bit complicated but Lauren mastered it without a problem.

We wouldn't hesitate to recommend her and will definitely try to book her again whenever we go away.

-
Aileen B
EdinburghLauren was wonderful, answering all my questions before I selected her as my kitty sitter. I got updates and photos while I was gone, which made me feel so much better for having to leave my kitten! As she's used cat in a flat as both a cat sitter and someone needing to have their cat looked after she really knew how I was feeling and I would definitely recommend her and ask her to look after my kitten again.
