the benefits of a cat sitter

Cats are territorial animals, they do and often enjoy interaction with people and other animals but they also spend big amounts of time being solitary.  For many cats being in a cattery with other cats can be a stressful experience and can often be the cause of separation anxiety, or induce aggressive behaviour.  It isn't that a cattery is a bad place, I know in Macclesfield some very good catteries but often for a cat it is a foreign environment and can be a stressful experience.  By using a cat sitter you are removing this stress and allowing your cat to stay at home in its usual environment.  

By using a cat sitting service there is no rushing round the day before your holiday to find and put your cat in the crate for transportation.  Your cat will often make the association with its crate and going to the vets so a crate isn't usually a welcome sight.  By hiring a cat sitter your cat will have a smooth transition from you being at home to you then being on holiday with a sitter being there to feed and care for your cat.

A cat sitter in your home will make your cat top priority.  With no distractions around of other cats  they can keep exactly to the routine your cat is used to and also have time to send you updates of photographs and videos so you can see how content your cat is while you are away.  Your communication with your cat sitter will be good should you have any questions or requests while you are away.

As well as your cat being well cared for your house will also look occupied as a cat sitter can draw curtains open/closed for you,  put the bins out etc Also using me as your cat sitter I drive my own car and so no van with signs on it which can alert people that the house is empty. 

As all of my cat work is in the Macclesfield area I can often take bookings at short notice, this is especially easy if I have already your key.  I work every week of the year and so it is easy for you if you have a last minute travel plan to quicky text me and arrange the booking. Often with a regular customer I can take a new booking and put it in the diary immediately.  The other benefit is that your can quickly message me while you are away to extend the booking by as many days as your need.  Likewise if you needed to shorten a booking or cancel the booking I will refund you for the days that you didn't need.

By hiring a cat sitter you can be sure that your cat is being kept to its usual routine.  I will always ask if you would prefer morning or evening visits and I will keep to this.  It will also only be me that comes into your home and so your cat will get to know me.  

If there was ever a problem or concern a cat sitter can  always pay an extra visit to your home. As I usually work in Macclesfield I can often be there quickly to attend to what needs doing, and I can speak with you on the phone or send messages so you know that everything has been sorted and you can continue relaxing on holiday.
