"Mike put my mind at ease with pictures throughout the holiday. Professional, on time, tidy, and respectful of our home. Our three cats were happy and following their usual routine the whole time we were away."
Soraya Irving
"We had used a different service for 50 to 60 days previously and never once saw our shy rescue cat. Mike and Tracy saw her on their second visit. They clearly understand cats and follow instructions carefully. We wouldn't consider using anyone else."
Martin Groom
"Our kittens Molly and Milo were only ten weeks old, so we were understandably nervous. Daily photos and updates were so reassuring at that age. Mike and Tracy even took them to the vet for their vaccinations while we were away. Outstanding."
Emma Houghton

Why Aylesbury Cat Owners Choose In-Home Cat Sitting

Cats are territorial animals. Their home is where they feel safe, where their scent markers are, where their routines play out day after day. When that environment is taken away, even temporarily, it causes genuine stress. That is true whether you live in the centre of Aylesbury, in a village like Haddenham or Wendover, or further out towards Princes Risborough or Thame.

A cattery, however clean and well staffed, cannot change that. Your cat still has to travel, still has to settle into an unfamiliar space surrounded by the sounds and smells of other cats, and still has to wait for you to come back. Many cats stop eating properly. Others become withdrawn. Owners who have used catteries for years often notice the difference immediately when they switch to in-home care: their cat is calm when they return, not stressed and clingy.

Mike and Tracy visit your cat in their own home, maintaining exactly the routines your cat already knows. Food at the right time, in the right bowl, in the right place. Litter trays kept clean. Time spent with your cat based on what they actually enjoy, whether that is a lap, a play session, or simply quiet company. And daily updates so you can see for yourself how they are getting on.

For cats with medical needs, including those requiring daily medication or insulin injections, that consistency matters even more. A familiar face arriving at the same time each day is far less disruptive than the uncertainty of a cattery stay.

Aylesbury and the surrounding Vale has a strong community of cat owners, many of whom have been using Mike and Tracy’s service for several years. If you are new to in-home cat sitting, or if you have had a difficult experience at a cattery and are looking for an alternative, this is worth trying. The difference in how your cat feels when you come home tends to make the decision straightforward.
