About Me

Cat sitter in Dunfermline

Hi everyone – I’m Franki, and I work as a Business Manager for the NHS.

I grew up on a farm in the middle of the Welsh countryside and have had cats all my life, starting with Tigger, a big old tabbycat who was great at babysitting, being carried around haphazardly by me as a toddler and coming with us on long walks. Joining Tigger as my siblings and I grew up were Kanga, Roo, Piglet, and (to break the theme) more recently Musky and Ronnie – all with totally different personalities, from ‘intensely-clingy’ Musky to ‘fiercely-independent-just-so-happens-to-be-on-your-lap-but-not-because-I-care’ Ronnie and ‘thinks-she’s-a-dog’ Piglet.

My husband and I now have a very handsome 10-year-old cat named Sir Archibald, who we’ve owned since kittenhood, and who spent his youth roaming the streets in a bow-tie collar, befriending tomcats, breaking into neighbours’ houses, and generally being affectionately known to all as ‘that bloody cat from down the road.’

Archie is possibly the most pampered cat ever – highlights include us buying him a 90L tropical aquarium when we moved house so he had a ‘cat TV’ to watch while we were at work (and trying to encourage him to be an indoor cat, safe from the perils of The Big City), and then building a cat-bridge between our bedroom window and the garden when the aforementioned attempts to keep him happy inside inevitably failed. He now happily spends his time pootling around inside and out, befriending neighbours, sleeping upside-down and of course being a ferocious hunter of all creatures great and small.

We've also added little Athena to our cat tribe, and she is an adorable bundle of naughtiness and joy! Her favourite game in the whole entire world is playing fetch with her Very Own Hair Bobble, and she loves exploring the garden, though is not a big fan of weather unless that weather is sunshine. Archie is tolerating her pretty well after being Number One for so long, and is taking his role of big brother extremely seriously - it melts my heart to see him teach her how to 'cat' although it's not all smooth sailing as I recently interrupted them in the middle of a hunting lesson, when he'd brought a live mouse into the living room for her to catch...

We use Cat in a Flat sitters to care for Archie and Athena when we travel, so I know what it’s like to leave your cat and home in someone else’s hands, and will provide you with plenty of photos and updates! My biggest worry when going away is that they will be sad, lonely and confused, so when visiting your cat/s I’ll take the time to pet, play, and spend time with them to ensure they’re feeling content and safe.

We had quite a menagerie of pets (rabbits, hamsters, tropical fish, budgies, chickens) on the farm so I'm also comfortable taking care of most things with fur or feathers if your extra family member doesnt happen to meow!

I’m able to give medication, and am also happy to water plants, collect mail, feed fish/hamsters etc, open and close blinds, and switch security lights on and off. I'm happy to travel around Dunfermline but I do work on weekdays so visits are likely to be pre-9am and post-5pm, unless of course you’re based close enough for a lunchtime stroll!

    Franki was absolutely great! The kittens loved her, which is always a relief, but she also made sure to keep in touch and send us updates so we knew how they were doing, and could relax :) really happy, and will definitely be booking with Franki again.

    Franki was really good with my Poppy! She messaged almost every day and went above and beyond to make our holiday great for our cat and us. And Poppy loved her , that's the most important. Thank you Franki!

    Franki has looked after Claudia a few times now, always gives Claudia the time and care (and love/attention she craves!) She is always very well looked after and it’s comforting to know the house is in safe hands while we are away. Thank you Franki! xx

    Franki is fantastic and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend her. Brilliant communication and she made such a huge effort with our kitty. Our girl was unwell right before we went away and she was really confident and reassuring, and kept us up-to-date on our cat's health and sent lovely vids and pictures. We came home to a happy and healthy cat!

    This is the third time Frankie has looked after Claudia whilst we have been away on holiday. Lots of pics and videos whilst we were away and Frankie spent lots of time with Claudia and gave her lots of love and hugs to make sure she wasn’t too lonely while we were gone. Thank you again Franki, Claudia and I appreciate the time and care you give us

    Franki is an absolute superstar! We can’t thank her enough for looking after our wee Milly whilst we were away on holiday. We had complete peace of mind the whole time which made our holiday even better. We came back to a very happy and relaxed cat. We will definitely be asking Franki to come and visit again :-). Thank you so much!!!

    I would 100% recommend Franki for petsitting. She did a fab job looking after our cat Missy whilst we were away. We received photos and videos which was great to know she was happy and safe. We returned home to a very content cat. Thanks again!

    First time I’ve used cat in a flat, was really nervous but Franki was amazing. A lovely person, trustworthy to leave with access to your home whilst away and looked after my little cat Claudia perfectly, lots of updates while we were away. Thank you again Franki, will be in touch when we next go away! x

    Franki was wonderful, and made the potentially stressful process of leaving our two kittens for a week much more manageable! Great communication before and throughout, and our cats were clearly very happy and comfortable with her. Thank you!

    Davey is still talking to me after my first weekend away from him. Franki checked when I wanted her to look in on him, played with him and sent me updates. I'll be a less anxious cat mum for my next trip.

    Franki was great with Davey. She replied to booking enquiries quickly and sent updates and pictures. First time I've used a catsitter and she went through how things work. I look forward to using her again and can now plan trips away without worrying about the "child"

    Spike, our cat, is a bit of a needy cat so I always feel bad leaving him but I need not have worried. We came back to a happy and relaxed cat after Franki looked after him for a couple of days! Thank you!

    Franki was a fantastic cat sitter! We were away for a week and Franki popped in every day to check on our cat Sam, feed him and have a wee play with him (when he allowed it, at least!) She also sent plenty of photos and updates to me throughout the week. I'll definitely be contacting Franki again next time we go away :)
