Our service
A gentle 30-minute visit, shaped around your cats
A standard home visit lasts around 30 minutes. Care is tailored to each cat’s routine and preferences — here’s the kind of thing a visit can include.
What a visit can include
- Feeding and fresh water
- Litter tray cleaning
- Play, affection or quiet company
- A visual wellbeing check
- An update and photographs
- Small agreed home-care tasks
Small home-care tasks too
When it’s reasonable and agreed in advance, we can also help with small tasks like post and parcels, curtains, bins and lights — alongside the cat visit, at no extra charge. These aren’t house-sitting or security services.
In their element
Happy cats, right at home
Play, mealtimes, a little company and long lazy naps — all in the place they feel safest.

Common questions
Good things to know
Most cats feel safest in their own territory. Staying at home means familiar sights, smells and routine, which usually keeps them far calmer than a stay somewhere new.
