Safety, trust & environment

I will make sure that your cat is kept to their normal routine and if your cat is allowed out during the day I will make sure that they are in for the night, unless you have a cat flap and you are okay with them coming and going as they please. If your cat is an indoor cat I will make sure that they come and go as they please in their own environment. Normally it will take a day or two for a cat to settle with a stranger, so I sit quietly and wait for them to approach me. There may be cats who I never see, but I know they are okay as they are eating and drinking as normal. If I never see your cat I will let you know on the daily reports

Information Sarah D. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your cat/s have any medical needs. You will need to show me their medications and how you administer this on our meet up. What vet your cat is with, where the cat carrier is kept and an emergency contact.

A typical day

When I look after your cat I will make sure that their feeding station is kept clean on a daily basis and their water changed. I sit and wait for them to eat their food and then we will have playtime and lots of cuddles, chin rubs and strokes if your cat is okay with this. I always talk to them so that they feel safe and if you have Alexa / radio I normally leave this on so that there is background noise. If you do not wish Alexa / radio to be left on please let me know.

Cat care experience

Hi, I’m Sarah and I’ve always had cats as pets for as far back as I can remember. I have two rescue cats called Lily and Suki who have their own personalities and bring my partner and I joy everyday. They are very pampered and know how to wrap me around their paws. I would love to look after your cat / cats whilst you are away, whether that is for a weekend, short break or holiday. Your pet will be well cared for and I will send you pictures every day to give you peace of mind that your pet is having a whale of a time and wrapping me around their paws 🐾 I can drive, so I am able to travel to feed your cat if required within the local area. ❗️I do not offer 60 minute sittings, all sittings are 30 minutes❗️ ❗️❗️If you have more than 3 cats this will incur an additional charge. Please let me know before booking so the price can be adjusted ❗️❗️

Sarah was fantastic with Bella. She was about to accommodate our very late notice booking and sent daily updates on how Bella was getting on

Sarah is just fabulous. My cats love her, and they don’t love everyone - they are quite shy. She keeps us up-to-date with daily photos and a little write up on them. Thank you, Sarah!

Sarah was amazing with our two cats - especially our little man who is very nervous. We came home to two very happy/content cats and received daily updates while away. I would recommend Sarah 100%

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
