Cat Sitting & Drop-In Care

Cats are territorial creatures of habit who thrive on familiar surroundings and predictable routines. Taking them out of their home to stay in a cattery—with car travel, strange scents, and barking dogs nearby—often causes unnecessary stress.

With Buddiepet’s dedicated cat sitting and drop-in feeding visits, your cat stays exactly where they belong: relaxing in their favorite sunspot, using their own litter tray, and following their normal routine. You get total peace of mind knowing they are in safe, experienced hands while you’re away at work, enjoying a weekend break, or on holiday.

Every visit is tailored to your cat’s unique personality, whether they are a playful kitten, a social lap-cat, or an independent senior who prefers their space:

• Fresh Food & Water: Cleaning bowls thoroughly and serving wet or dry meals according to your strict schedule and portion sizes.
• Litter Tray Maintenance: Daily scooping, litter top-ups, and full tray cleanouts to maintain ideal hygiene.
• Play, Cuddles & Attention: Interactive play sessions with their favorite toys, gentle grooming, or quiet company for shy cats.
• Health & Wellbeing Check: A attentive visual health check every single visit to ensure your cat is bright, healthy, and behaving normally.
• Daily Updates & Photos: Photo and status updates sent straight to your phone after every visit so you never have to wonder how they are doing.

Unlike standard pet sitters, Buddiepet brings professional clinical expertise directly to your home. Founded by an RCVS-trained Veterinary Nurse, our team is fully qualified to administer veterinary prescriptions, including:

• Oral medications (tablets, liquids, and pastes mixed into food or administered directly)
• Topical treatments and eye/ear drops
• Insulin injections for diabetic cats

If your cat has a chronic health condition, recovery needs, or an ongoing medical treatment plan, you can travel with complete confidence knowing their health is managed by trained professionals.

During our cat feeding visits, we also help keep your property safe and occupied at no additional charge:

• Bringing in mail, milk, and deliveries
• Opening and closing curtains or blinds to maintain a lived-in appearance
• Putting out recycling and wheelie bins on collection days
• Watering indoor house plants and garden pots

• Veterinary Nursing Background: Experienced, trained eyes watching out for subtle changes in cat behavior or health.
• DBS Checked: Verified background checks for total peace of mind when we enter your property.
• Fully Insured: Covered by public liability and custody care insurance.
• Pet First Aid Instructors: Certified and equipped to manage health emergencies calmly and effectively.
