Sutton & Epsom Cat Sitter Reviews

Here is what some Sutton and Epsom clients have said about the Home Loving Cats service in this area:

"Callie did an excellent job, beyond expectations. Daily photos, and Callie actually missed Emma on my return and came when she said she would. Callie eventually greeted her at the door."

Leanne de Araujo

"First time my cat had been alone since my other cat died suddenly. I was worried about how she would cope. Emma was amazing: within no time they were best friends. Daily updates and a really happy, relaxed cat on my return."

H Morgan

"Three cats looked after with daily photos and updates, lights on and off, bins in. Everything taken care of without any fuss."

Lisa Sands

"Two new kittens for a long weekend. I was nervous leaving them. Emma was passionate, professional and proactive: she even administered eyedrops to a kitten who developed an infection the day before we left. Couldn't have asked for better."

Who am I?

I grew up in Wallington. I moved away for university and the early part of my career. I have been lucky to travel for work and have visited Switzerland, Taiwan, France and Belgium. I was also fortunate to live and work in Malaysia, Australia and South Africa. When I returned to the UK I rescued my beloved Nala, a 13 year old tabby, who initially came to me as a foster cat for one week from Stepping Stones Cat Rescue https://steppingstonesrescue.org Needless to say, she decided she wanted to stay and has been with me for over 10 years. She will only tolerate being a one cat household so I need to look after other people’s cats to feed my ‘crazy cat lady’ addiction.

I am an animal lover and have been around animals all my life. I grew up with fish, hamsters, cats and dogs but if I am being honest, true love has always been cats. Diddums was the first family cat, a highly intelligent tabby who would play fetch with dice. Next came Frisky (one of Diddums’ kittens) who was so named because of her daily ‘zoomies’ that saw her running up walls and over all the furniture.

As an adult I chose to rescue cats. My first adoption was Scratchy, an 11 year old ginger tom with only 2 teeth and half a tail. He was a great character and would drape himself around my shoulder like a scarf or try and trip us up on the stairs.

Next came cats in sets. Jet & Amber (can you guess what colour fur they each had?) followed by Bonnie and Lilly. Lilly was my first longhaired cat and taught me the mindful practice of daily brushing.

I spent 30 years working in Human Resources, looking after humans, supporting and advise on a variety of needs, all around the world. I now choose to devote my time to looking after cats, who are much more playful, loving and easier to deal with. I can think of nothing better than spending my days brushing, feeding and playing with angels in furry bodies.

When I am not hanging out with cats I run meditation groups and during the warmer months can be found pottering in my very small garden.

Why use my cat sitting service?

According to PetPlan “Even the most comfortable and caring catteries can be stressful for some cats. This is because cats are highly territorial and prefer to be in a familiar environment. Some find the sights, sounds and smells of unfamiliar places, people and other cats overwhelming and anxiety inducing. Even travelling to and from the cattery can cause them stress.” Please check out our video “Why Cats Hate Catteries”.
I joined Home Loving Cats because I have a passion for all animals and cats in particular. I am committed to their wellbeing and fully believe cats thrive best in their own home environment. I am dedicated to providing personalised, reliable and loving care for your cats while you are away. My aim is for your pets to hardly notice that you are away and you can relax in the knowledge that your beloved cat(s) will be well taken care of, as if they were my own.
- I am fully DBS vetted and hold specialist pet sitting insurance
- I only care for cats so your beloved pet will not have to contend with doggy smells when I visit
- I do ALL visits myself so over time will get to know your cat and understand their unique personalities and needs
- I provide a year round service, even over Christmas, New Year and school holiday periods

What does my service provide?

I will take time to understand the unique needs and personalities of your fur babies and will tailor my service to cater for each individual cat. Whether it is providing companionship, maintaining a safe and clean environment, engaging in play or brushing and grooming I am dedicated to creating a stress-free experience for both the cats and their owners.

A typical visit will cover the obvious practical things such as ensuring sufficient food and fresh water in clean bowls, and maintaining meticulous level of litter tray hygiene.
If requested, I will send daily photos to show how your pets are doing while you are away
If your cat likes attention, lap naps or playing I will make sure they have their individual needs met. I will stay with your cat(s) as long as my schedule will reasonably allow.
In the rare event that your cat becomes unwell, I will seek advice from a vet (your own if available) and should it be necessary, I will take them for a physical check-up. I will obviously keep you fully informed if possible.
While cats are my primary focus, for an additional charge, I will also care for small caged animals and fish.
I am also happy to attend to additional requests such as watering plants, putting bins in/out, opening and closing curtains, switching lights on/off.

Why Sutton and Epsom Cat Owners Choose In-Home Cat Sitting

The area covered by Emma’s service, from Sutton and Wallington through to Epsom, Cheam, and the surrounding Surrey suburbs, is a part of the country where people travel a great deal. Good commuter connections to central London mean regular work trips, and the area’s mix of families and professionals means holidays and weekend breaks are a constant. For cat owners in this situation, the question of what to do with the cat comes up repeatedly throughout the year.

The reviews above reflect what happens when that question is answered well. Leanne’s cat Callie was so settled during Emma’s visits that she greeted Emma at the door and was visibly disappointed when Emma stopped coming. H Morgan’s cat, recently bereaved of a companion and genuinely at risk of struggling alone for the first time, was calm and happy throughout. Natalie’s new kittens needed unexpected eye medication the day before she left: Emma handled it without hesitation. These are not edge cases. They are the kinds of situations that come up regularly in cat care, and they are exactly where the difference between a reliable professional and a well-meaning neighbour becomes clear.

Emma’s 30 years in Human Resources is an unusual background for a cat sitter, but it makes a great deal of sense in practice. Managing people’s needs across complex organisations in multiple countries requires clarity, reliability, and the ability to handle the unexpected calmly. Those same qualities are what make a cat sitting service genuinely trustworthy rather than just well-intentioned. Combined with a lifetime of rescuing and caring for cats, many of them elderly, medically complex, or with difficult histories, Emma brings a depth of practical experience that goes well beyond a general love of animals.
