About Me

Dionne's Catsitting Service 🐈‍⬛🎀

My name is Dionne, I’m a cat lover and artist from Edinburgh! ~ Thanks for stopping by my page!

What sets me apart from other catsitters? I possess a unique connection with felines, which is often attributed to my cat-like traits (a compliment I receive frequently!). With a Leo Rising in my astrological chart 🦁, many have dubbed me as a cat whisperer!. However, what truly matters to me is the love, care, and deep understanding I have for these magical creatures.

Having grown up with cats, I bring patience and gentleness to my care routine, along with ample experience in feeding, grooming, and playtime, all while ensuring their overall happiness. I never push cats to show their affections, a common error many people make that leads them to believe the cat dislikes them. This often results in a growing aversion to cats. Instead, I choose to be patient, allowing them to approach me on their own terms, and this method yields fantastic results! Cats truly cherish their independence and space, and I completely understand that, I pride myself on being observant and attentive to their needs, ensuring they feel safe and content. In fact, I’ve had success with even the most grumpy, shy, or aggressive cats, helping them to adopt a more relaxed and calm demeanor. I’m available most days, so feel free to reach out if you need assistance.

• I'm very intuitive with cat behaviour 🔮

• I am also a herb medicine apprentice, so if you have house plants or herbs I'm happy to care for them 🪴

• I will send you daily updates, videos & photos of your cat 🐈‍⬛📸

• I will collect mail & parcels for you 📦

• Any other special requests - I can consider too! ✨️

    Dionne was absolutely wonderful with Bonnie. It was the longest I’ve ever been away from her, but seeing how quickly and naturally Bonnie bonded with Dionne gave me such peace of mind.

    Dionne clearly has a genuine affection for cats – her patience, care, and gentle approach really shone through in every interaction.

    I’d highly recommend her!

    My two ragdoll cats were super contented with Dionne looking after them. Dionne is such a calm and feline-sensitive cat whisperer that I have booked her three times now when on extended holidays and much to the joy of Tamino & Daphne. Dionne was sending me daily video updates on WhatsApp of my fur babies which was just wonderful.

    Dionne has been absolutely wonderful with our two kitties while we were away on holiday. It’s our second time booking her services and she’s been wonderful.

    She really loves cats and it shows, our guys love her as well.

    Her communication and updates are excellent, she’s very reliable and a pleasure to deal with.

    We highly recommend Dionne!

    Dionne is an excellent sitter. You can tell she really cares about the cat in her care. Bacon had a great time with Dionne, who also sent loads of pictures and updates. Will 100% be asking Dionne to look after Bacon again in the future.

    Dionne stepped in to care for my cats at short notice. She was great, very caring and able to attend to their medical needs too; they both need daily medication.

    Dionne was a fantastic sitter. She was very reliable and communicative. Our cat was very relaxed when we got back, and our plants looked very healthy too. Couldn't have asked for a better sitter.

    Dionne did a wonderful job taking care of our cat, Suki. She visited with her each day, gave her fresh water, food and treats. Every day that we were away, Dionne would send a brief update and picture. All of our mail was stacked on the counter and the litter was cleaned and disposed of. You can’t ask for anything more from a cat sitter than what she provided.

    Dionne was a great cat sitter. She made sure Oliver was looked after whilst I was away on holiday. She kept me in a loop by sending me pictures and videos. He is a wee rascal so to see how they got along well was incredibly comforting. I will definitely turn to Dionne in future if I am away again. Thank you Dionne! You were fab! :)

    We came back to find a sleek, content cat, and everything just the way we wanted. Dionne kept in contact well in the eight days we were away - even sent a couple of pictures! She also helped keep the post out of sight, and with the bins. I would be happy for Dionne to look after our cat again. Thank you Dionne!

    Dionne was a great help during our recent holiday, she looked after both cats and kept us informed throughout our trip.

    We've more trips planned, and if available would happily use Dionne again.
