My Cat Sitting Reviews

Please check out my customer reviews by clicking MY CAT SITTING REVIEWS.

"Chris is so lovely with our cats. We used her recently for the first time and the cats were much happier at home. We're already booked in again. Very flexible and we loved receiving pictures whilst we were away."

Gavin Perkins

"Chris fed and administered essential medication to my cat which was a huge relief and gave me complete peace of mind whilst away. I have subsequently booked several more holidays in the knowledge that my cat will be well looked after in the comfort of her home surroundings."

Terry Yates

"Chris put us at ease from the beginning with a really helpful introductory meeting, photo updates whilst we were away, and we came home to a happy cat. Our home and cat were in good hands. Chris even kindly put out our bins so we didn't come home to overflowing recycling."

Why it’s great for your cats to stay at home

With my service, rather than have your cat suffer the unfamiliar surroundings of a cattery – it can stay at home in a familiar and stress-free environment!

Most cats are very territorial and when taken away from their familiar home surroundings, they can become very stressed. Please check out the background to this by clicking “Why Cats Hate Catteries”.

I don’t just feed your cats and maintain litter tray hygiene. The other important aspect is that depending on their requirements and age, I also provide lots of play, cuddles and company to ensure they are happy and content whilst you are away.

Cats are a massive part of my life and I have several qualifications including Feline Behaviour and Psychology (which helps me to minimise cat anxiety and stress). I also have a Pet Sitting Diploma, a Pet First Aid qualification, a Basic Disclosure Police Check and public liability insurance.

How my personal service will benefit you and your cats

I have owned and loved cats throughout my life, so you can leave your cats at home safe in the knowledge that they are in the care of a loving and compassionate professional who has a great understanding of how they behave.
I will visit you free of charge before you go away to meet you and get to know all about the requirements of you and your cat.
I carry out all cat visits personally so you can be assured that “what you have seen is what you will get!” I am totally reliable and trustworthy. I will spend quality time with your cats and indulge them in their favourite pastimes – playtime, lap time, grooming or just being there as their friend and companion.
I will visit your cat as often as you wish – most cats only require one visit per day, but if you require more daily visits, I will happily fit this into my schedule.
It goes without saying that I am happy to look after just one cat or several cats!
In the unlikely event that your cat is unwell whilst you are away, I will seek veterinary advice and take your cat to your vet if required. I will also administer any necessary medications that your cat requires.
I am available throughout the year including Christmas and New Year for any length of time you require (from one day upward). I can also be available at short notice to cover business trips, weekends away or family emergencies, and I will always go the “extra mile” to help my customers if they have to extend their time away.
I will ensure that all cat dishes and bowls are maintained to the highest hygienic standards.
Although my primary service is caring for cats, I am happy to feed fish or look after other small ‘furries’.
I will put out bins, pick up post, and water plants. Please be assured that I will treat your property with the utmost respect.
My visits are discrete – as there is no branding on my car or clothing.
I do not look after dogs – so I will not come into your house smelling of “dog” (which can alarm some cats).

Why Telford Cat Owners Choose In-Home Cat Sitting

Telford is a new town in the original sense: purpose-built, fast-growing, and covering a wide area that takes in everything from Ironbridge and the World Heritage Site gorge through to the more suburban areas around Wellington, Donnington, and Shifnal. The people who live here come from all over the country, and many travel regularly. What they share, if they have cats, is the same challenge every cat owner faces: what happens to the cat while they’re away.

The reviews above give a clear picture. Gavin’s cats, on their first experience of home sitting rather than a cattery, were visibly happier on his return. He had already rebooked before writing the review. Terry’s cat was on essential medication throughout the booking, administered by Chris without issue, to the point that Terry has since booked multiple more holidays on the strength of it. Gemma came home to a happy cat, a tidy house, and bins that had already been put out. These are the details that make the difference between a cat owner who spends their holiday worrying and one who actually relaxes.

Chris brings a level of formal qualification to this work that sets her apart. A qualification in Feline Behaviour and Psychology, a Pet Sitting Diploma, and a Pet First Aid certification are not typical for a cat sitter. They reflect a genuine commitment to understanding how cats think and behave, not just how to feed them. That knowledge is particularly useful with anxious cats, cats in new environments, or cats whose owners are travelling for the first time and are unsure what to expect.

The Telford area is also well placed for Shropshire wildlife and the surrounding countryside, and many cat owners in the area keep outdoor cats who need a sitter who understands territory and outdoor access arrangements. Chris handles all of this personally on every booking, with no employees involved.
