Find a pro · Cat sitting

Someone to look in on the cat while you're away.

Most cats do better in their own territory, so home visits are usually the answer. If a cattery suits yours better, catteries need a council licence, and we check for one before anybody is listed.

Care that suits how cats actually are

How booking cat care works

Step 1

Search or browse

Pick a service and a place, or start from a guide. Every listed professional is on the register for their trade before they appear.

Step 2

Compare plainly

Qualifications, facilities and prices side by side. Nobody can pay to rank higher, so the order you see is the order that helps you.

Step 3

Meet and greet, free

Meet at their place or yours before anything is paid, with your pet doing the interviewing. If it does not feel right, walk away and owe nothing.

Step 4

Enquire or book

Message a professional with one form, or book a slot online where they offer it. Your details go to them and nobody else.

Checked before they meet your cat

Catteries need a council licence with an inspection behind it, the same rules that cover dog boarding. Home visitors do not, which is exactly why we insist on insurance and identity checks for anyone who will be holding your keys.
