Why Choose a Cat Sitting Service Over a Cattery?
Comfort and Familiarity
A cat sitting service allows your cat to stay in the comfort and familiarity of their own home, which significantly reduces the stress and anxiety that can come with being placed in a new environment like a cattery. Your cat will be in a space they know and love, surrounded by their usual scents and sounds.
Personalized Attention
With a cat sitting service, your cat receives personalized attention during each visit. This includes feeding, watering, administering medication if needed, and plenty of playtime and affection. The one-on-one interaction ensures your cat’s individual needs are met, something that can be challenging in a cattery setting where staff must divide their attention among many animals.
Health and Wellbeing
Cat sitting services prioritize your cat’s health and wellbeing. Our sitters conduct daily health checks, clean and empty litter trays, and ensure your cat is eating and drinking well. We can provide daily updates and even video call you, keeping you informed about your cat’s condition and peace of mind while you’re away.
Convenience for Owners
Using a cat sitting service is more convenient for pet owners. You don’t need to worry about transporting your cat to and from a cattery. Additionally, our sitters can bring in mail, water plants, and keep an eye on your home, providing comprehensive care and security while you’re away.
Professional and Trustworthy Care
Happy Toms’ sitters are experienced cat owners, NARPS accredited, fully insured, and DBS checked. This professional and reliable service ensures your cat is in safe and capable hands, giving you confidence that your pet is receiving the best possible care.
Behavioural Support
Happy Toms has a trained animal psychologist that can observe your cat’s behaviour in its usual environment during sitting sessions and offer advice on many issues, helping to address and manage behavioural tendencies. This service can be provided at no extra cost and can be particularly beneficial for cats with specific behavioural challenges.
Avoiding Exposure to Illnesses
Keeping your cat at home with a sitting service reduces the risk of exposure to illnesses that can sometimes occur in communal environments like catteries. Your cat remains in a controlled, safe environment, minimizing the chances of contracting any diseases.
Choosing a cat sitting service like Happy Toms ensures your cat remains happy, healthy, and stress-free in their own home while receiving professional and loving care.
