Meet Nicola Williams

Locally owned and operated, part of the Home Loving Cats family. Trusted in Liverpool and 5-star rated by local cat owners. Background checked and fully insured for complete peace of mind.

Nicola provides professional, caring in-home cat sitting across the greater Liverpool area. Your cat stays happy, comfortable and stress-free in their familiar environment while you are away.

I am Nicola Williams, a devoted specialist cat sitter providing a caring and professional in-home cat sitting service across the greater Liverpool area. I relocated to Liverpool in March 2025 to be closer to my family, and I have since spent time getting to know the city’s neighbourhoods and the cats that live in them.

I cover the Greater Liverpool area that spans from terraced houses in Wavertree to larger properties in Woolton Village. I look after cats as if they were my own because I love them, and their health, happiness and wellbeing are my first priority.

Cat sitting, absolutely the right choice for your cats

Cats are territorial animals, and they can become very stressed when taken away from their familiar home environment. Booking a cattery means a journey in a carrier, an unfamiliar environment, the sounds and smells of other animals, and the disruption of being settled back in on return. For many cats, this shows itself clearly as a period of anxiety, clingy or withdrawn behaviour, or appetite changes that take a few days to resolve.

In-home cat sitting removes all of that. Your cat stays in the home it knows, sleeps in the places it prefers, follows its existing routine, and has someone arriving each day to provide food, fresh water, clean litter and, just as importantly, company and engagement. For a fuller explanation of why cats respond so differently to staying at home versus going to a cattery, please read our article “Why Cats Hate Catteries”.

My Cat Sitting Reviews

You can read the existing Home Loving Cats customer reviews in the name of my predecessors, Alex and Nuno, by following the link to my cat-sitting reviews. Here is what some Liverpool clients have said about the service in this area.

"We were delighted with the service Nicola gave our two boys while we were away. We were updated every day, and Nicola was very thorough and trustworthy. We will definitely be happy to contact her again when needed."

Mags Timmins

"It was our first time using this service, and Nicola was very professional and helpful. She also brought some feeders so Roy could be fed more frequently, matching his usual routine when we're home. A week away spent with peace of mind and some lovely daily updates."

Anna Mnich

"We felt very happy that our two were having their own holiday fun at home and didn't have the stress of going to a cattery. We came home to two very happy, chilled cats and a clean and well-stocked litter and food area."

A little about me and my passion for cats

I have had cats in my home since I was a teenager. They have always been either rescued cats that I have adopted or strays who have adopted me. There was Pickles, who took six months to settle with us after a rough start to her life, and Miracle, who was rescued at five weeks old from beside a main road on our way to school. He was so affectionate that even people who really identify with cats loved him. And there was Casey, who appeared as a kitten under the bonnet of my friend’s car one winter. Then, later, a beautiful grey Persian we called Smudge showed up at our door and never left.
That background with cats who needed patience and careful handling gives me a good instinct for animals that may be nervous, easily unsettled, or used to a very particular routine.

In March 2025, I relocated to Liverpool to be closer to my family. I had missed the company of animals, their constant entertainment and unconditional affection, because a house is not a home without a pet. I knew I was ready for a change, and that is when I found Home Loving Cats and realised I could look after cats for a living. As part of their network of dedicated and caring cat sitters, I now combine my love of cats with the integrity and excellent service I developed in my previous corporate roles. Those habits transfer directly into how I approach cat sitting: I arrive when I say I will, do exactly what has been agreed, and keep owners updated throughout their time away.

Keeping your little ones safe

If you want the peace of mind of knowing that your cats can enjoy themselves outside in complete safety, take a look at our article “I cannot let my cat outside because of traffic” and our associated article “Cat Proof Fencing”.

If you are looking to adopt a cat, or maybe even be a foster parent for cats, please visit Garston Animal Rescue at garstonanimalrescue.com. The rescue was established by Nancy and is run day to day by a small group of volunteers who give their time to help cats across the Liverpool area.

Why you and your cats will love my service

I am passionate about cats and have a great understanding of their needs and behaviour.
My service is extremely reliable. I will always go the extra mile, and I will never let you or your cats down.
I don’t just do the obvious practical things such as providing food, fresh water and outstanding litter tray hygiene. Most importantly, I also spend quality time with your cat in whatever way your cat prefers, whether that’s playtime, cuddles, lap time, or grooming. Your cat calls the tune.
Care is provided personally by me, so it is guaranteed that a true cat lover will be looking after your cat.
I only care for cats, so I won’t arrive smelling of dog, which can leave some cats feeling stressed.
My service is available seven days a week, including most popular holiday periods, and can be booked for any length of time from one day upwards. If you have any special requirements, my service can be tailored to your needs.
For added peace of mind, I will send you updates on your cats by text, photo or email while you are away.
I will do my best to accommodate last-minute bookings, although notice is always appreciated. If you wish to extend your stay while away, just let me know, and I will continue to care for your cats until your return.
Your home will be safe in my hands. I am a trustworthy person of great integrity, and I hold a basic disclosure police check and public liability insurance for your peace of mind and added security.
Before you use my service for the first time, I will arrange a free initial meeting to meet you and your cats and to run over the arrangements for your booking.
In the very unlikely event that a cat becomes unwell while you are away, I will be in touch with your vet practice straight away and take your cat in if it is needed.
Watering plants, bringing in the post, and putting bins out and back are all things I am glad to handle if you would like.
Discretion is part of the service. My car carries no branding or advertising, so there is nothing to signal that the house is empty.

Why Liverpool cat owners choose in-home cat sitting

Neighbourhood identity runs deep in Liverpool, from the terraced streets of Wavertree and Allerton out to the suburban roads that spread across the wider Merseyside catchment. Cats here guard their territory just as fiercely as cats anywhere, which is exactly why keeping them at home, rather than sending them to a cattery, tends to produce a calmer, happier animal. The pattern holds across the city.

The reviews above bear this out. Mags’s two boys had daily updates throughout the trip, with the care described as thorough and trustworthy. Anna’s cat Roy, kept his usual feeding rhythm, helped along by the extra feeders that matched his routine at home. Gina’s pair returned to a clean, well-stocked home and were relaxed rather than rattled. Three households, three sets of cats, one reliable result.

Having moved to Liverpool in March 2025, I brought with me a corporate background built on professionalism, reliability and clear communication. That is precisely what good cat sitting calls for: turning up on time, doing what was agreed, and keeping you in the loop from start to finish. Years of caring for rescues and strays also mean I understand cats that have had a hard start and need a gentler, more patient hand than a settled cat might.

More and more Liverpool owners travel often, for work and for pleasure alike, and with strong links to Ireland and further afield, longer trips are common. If a cattery has only ever been the default choice rather than the preferred one, in-home sitting is well worth a try.
