I have more than one cat - which visit length should I book? I have more than one cat - which visit length should I book?

For multi-cat households, we recommend booking a 45-minute visit. This allows our sitters plenty of time to give each cat the attention they deserve - from feeding and fresh water to playtime, cuddles, and litter care. If your cats have different routines or need extra enrichment, a longer visit helps us tailor care to each of their personalities.

Do you charge per animal? Do you charge per animal?

No - we charge per visit, not per animal. Whether you have one cat or several, the price stays the same. For multi-cat households, we recommend booking a 45-minute visit to ensure each cat gets the attention they need. If you have five or more cats, please contact our team - depending on their individual routines and needs, we may suggest a longer or additional visit to make sure everyone is properly cared for.

Do you look after other small animals too? Do you look after other small animals too?

Yes! Alongside cats, our sitters are experienced in caring for small animals such as rabbits, guinea pigs, and hamsters. We can usually feed them and carry out basic checks within a standard 30-minute visit. If you need bedding changes or more detailed care, please let the team know in advance so we can recommend the right appointment length to suit your pets’ needs.
