Cat's Whiskers sitters
Our sitters are all trustworthy, reliable cat lovers who will always go the extra mile to ensure your cat gets the best possible care while you are away.
Our interview process is 3 stages and subsequent training lasts a minimum of two weeks so you can be sure that the entire team are experts in looking after your furry family.
Please note, we always ensure a minimum of two sitters can cover your area so that every booking can be accommodated. Therefore you will not necessarily have the same sitter doing every visit.
We are covered by Pet Business Insurance which includes cover for Public/Products liability, Care Custody and Control as well as Non-negligence.
Our sitters have a clean security vetting from the Criminal Records Bureau (DBS checked).

Animals, especially cats, have been a steadfast presence in my life since childhood, contributing to my interest in animal behaviour and welfare which I went on to study at university. For me, a household is not a home without a cat and mine currently consists of our two rescues Georgie and Lennie who impart daily feline comfort and hilarity. It's a joy to have them and a privilege to care for those belonging to other people.
I’ve been with Cat’s Whiskers since the summer of 2018. With several years of cat sitting under my belt, I took on administrative responsibilities when promoted to the role of general manager. This deepened my understanding of day-to-day operations and enhanced my business acumen. Now, having taken on ownership of the company, I strive to tailor my university education and all my previous experience to provide the very best service to our clients and their delightful furry friends.

I joined the Cat’s Whiskers team full time in August 2019 after finishing a 3 year Art course and a nail tech course at college.
I love animals and spending time with them. I’ve lived with cats nearly all my life and don’t know life without them!
I currently have 4 cats, mother and daughter Sophie and Mindy. And rescue cats Coco and Pops. They are literally my family.

I joined the Cat's Whiskers team in early July 2021 after a good friend said they loved working in the team.
I've studied level 3 business at college but I love all animals especially cats and dogs. I’ve been around them as long as I remember, and they always have been around me. I currently have a dog, called Sonia, and look after my neighbour's cats too - animals are a part of me :)

I first joined the Cat’s Whiskers team in July 2021 after working in a veterinary practice for around a year. Before that I studied animal management at college. I’ve just spent a year working with the RSPCA and am very happy to be back with Cat’s Whiskers again!
I’ve had all kinds of animals throughout my life and a huge part of my home zoo are my 3 cats Baby, Lily and Cece who are like my babies.
I find it so rewarding caring for animals and know how important it is for us as owners to have peace of mind while we are away!
