About us
Your cat's wellbeing is our top priority
Your cat’s happiness and comfort always come first. We know cats feel safest in their own home, which is why we provide calm, attentive care built around their routine. From playful companions to shy observers, every cat is treated with patience, kindness, and genuine affection.
Founder & Cat Sitter
I’m Sophie, the founder of Staycation Cat Care. I’ve cared for cats for most of my life – growing up with four cats and now sharing my home with two of my own.
I started Staycation Cat Care to extend my love and care for cats, and to provide a stress-free, at-home alternative to a cattery, which many cats find upsetting.
My own cats are incredibly loved and cared for, and I treat every cat I visit with the same level of attention and affection.
A cat is not “just a cat” – they are a cherished member of your family and deserve to be treated exactly that way.

Why us
We specialise in cat sitting
We know leaving your cat isn’t always easy - that’s where we come in. As a cat-only service, everything we do is designed with their comfort in mind. We keep routines consistent, visits calm, and interactions gentle, so your cat feels safe and secure. You’ll receive thoughtful updates and photos (if you choose), keeping you connected and reassured while you’re away.
Our service is a more considered, personal approach to cat sitting. We take time to learn about your cat - our visits are not just checklist visits.
Cat specialists
By specialising exclusively in cats, we understand their quirks, respect their space, and earn their trust on their terms. Whether your cat loves attention or prefers distance, we adapt to their needs to keep them happy, relaxed, and stress-free while you’re away.
Thoughtful touches
We clean up any cat-related mess, keep feeding areas tidy, and help your home run smoothly by taking in parcels, putting bins out, and watering plants. For extra peace of mind, we can open and close curtains, leave lights on, and with no branded cars or uniforms, it’s never obvious you’re away.
