Services
Rebecca can care for
Availability
Flexible with dates and times year round. In addition to drop-ins (mainly Amersham), I am available for house sitting within 15 miles (minimum 2 nights, or 2 days. 1 night/day can be considered, usually for existing clients) which keeps cats calm and content with extra companionship and TLC. Perfect for kittens, seniors, cats that crave companionship and those with specific breed care requirements. I bring my own food/towels/toiletries - contribution to transport start/end of house sit appreciated if far away and taking public transport (though often I can have a lift from family there/back). I always prioritise cat sitting as it's the greatest job in the world! I am happy to step in for one-offs when your usual sitter is unavailable and sometimes last minutes too. Please note for house sitting, I usually need to go out into town once/twice per week to run errands (typically less than 3-4 hours out). I spend most of the day and all night with cats in my care. I keep other drop-ins to a minimum (often block off drop-ins on calendar) whilst on house sits. If you require more constant companionship and/or specific care than this, please enquire for a tailored price quote. Holiday rates apply. Christmas Day, Boxing Day, New Years Eve & Day and Easter Sunday are £30 base rate per 30 min drop in (one drop-in only per day) and £90 base rate for house sitting. All other Bank holiday weekend days are £6 extra on base rate for drop-ins and £80 for house sits (Fri-Mon inclusive). In the unlikely event that your cat falls ill during your time away and needs to visit the vet during drop-ins as an emergency, the hourly base rate is £25 (£20 after the first hour), plus taxi fare if needed (I usually can get a lift from family saving taxi fare). I am happy to liaise with local friends or family members who can take your cat to the vets and/or stay with them once there. I am not able to pay vet bills and potential payments must be covered by yourself or an emergency contact (many vets if notified of holiday cat sitter in advance are happy for any payments at a later date). *** Houses must be accessible via public transport for drop-ins and/or walking keeping the service environmentally conscious. ***

Safety, trust & environment
I run a cats only pet sitting service - no risk of agravating your cat with dog scent on me! I am very experienced with many Pedigree cat breeds including Ragdolls, British Shorthairs, Scottish Folds, Russian Blues as well as regular moggies too. I know how sensitive cats can be to change with routine and work with you to give them consistency. I can discuss your requirements first at an in-person free meet and greet at the Chiltern Lifestyle Centre or online video call to see if I am a good fit for you and your cat. If all is well, I will arrange a free meet and greet in your home to meet your cat(s) and go over the routine there before confirming the booking. If you require me to come a second time to your house to pick up keys, I add £6 to the booking to cover time/travel costs or can pick up in Amersham/Chesham Bois centres for free. I have family members local I can call in case of emergency too for extra support.
Information Rebecca E. would like to know about your pet
Animals behave differently with strangers and find it best to look after only cats that are fairly friendly with people without major separation anxiety (I offer house sits which are best for cats prone to loneliness and anxiety). I'm happy to discuss requirements and work around quirks that your cat may have. I only work with cats that are up to date with appropriate vaccinations/worming/flea treatments and registered with a local vet. I am happy to groom long-haired cats and give oral medication in food. Insulin injections can be administered subject to cats being accepting of me giving them.
A typical day
Happy to follow instructions and routines for cats. I can also water plants, take in post, open/close curtains, hoover cat areas and put bins out whilst away if required. On house sits, I do a house clean up before leaving. This all helps to give your home that added 'lived in' secure look whilst you are away too.

Calm Cat Sitting 🐈🐈⬛
Cat care experience
I love being a cat sitter and think it is the best job in the world! I tailor visits to the temperament of each cat, whether that be by giving them extra space to do their own thing or pampering them with affection and cuddles. I strive to give them what they need to thrive. Owners going away can be highly stressful for a cat so to mitigate some of their stress, I aim to keep their routines as close to what they have usually. I meditate just before each drop in so that I bring a calm and positive energy into your home. Cats often follow me around (and sit on my feet too!🙀). Aside from cat sitting, I work from home freelance flexibly part time. I have previously worked as a gardener in a live in role so am used to being responsible and trustworthy in someone's home and keeping plants healthy and happy too!
Reviews
Thank You Rebecca for the beautiful calligraphy note 😻 I received regular updates and photos from Rebecca while away and Rebecca always messaged me to check anything she was unsure about. My home was beautifully clean and tidy when I returned home. My cat Thea was relaxed and I am very happy with the service I received. Thank You Rebecca. :)
We had Rebecca come and house sit/cat sit for us while we went away for a week on holiday. I can see why she has such good reviews! Honestly couldn't have asked for anymore. She updated us everyday on how the cats were doing and if there were any new changes. Made us feel reassured and felt like we could fully relax while away from home. Additionally, she kept the house so near and tidy (even better than us!) and would easily be using her services again. Highly recommend to anyone look for cat sitting long or short term. Rebecca is definitely the best person!
We have used Rebecca for cat sitting a few times and she is fabulous! We will always aim to use her first for any cat sitting needs. She does a great job looking after our cat and is always so prompt and communicative.
Thank you Rebecca, you are truly brilliant. We can’t recommend you enough. Thank you for your calm, caring presence, keeping our cats and home safe while we are away. It’s lovely to come home to a nice clean house too, with happy pets.
