Postgraduate student with 10 years of experience looking to help with pet care!
| Hello! I am an American postgraduate student who is looking for part-time work caring for pets. I have ten years of experience with dog and cat sitting, as well as dog walking. I love to spend time with animals, whether that means taking them on a nice long walk/run, spending an afternoon to keep them company, or making sure they have a good breakfast and dinner. I would be happy to care for dogs or cats of any size and age, and am comfortable working with pets who have different needs or behavioral challenges.

Siberian cat mum here to help care for your cats when needed
| I am the mum of 2 Siberian cats , Leo and Mia who are nearly 8 years old. They need lots of grooming as they have very long thick coats. Leo is very loving and affectionate and likes lots of attention and cuddles. Mia is a quite timid and prefers to be alone and can often be found hiding under the bed covers, she likes to be warm. I work part time and hope to retire soon. I enjoy travelling and also go to my local health club several days a week. I’m looking for other activities to keep me busy.

My name is Beccy, I have a huge love of cats and have been cat sitting for over three years now.
| I love cats, I have three of my own, Crombie, Olaf and Simba. I have had cats for years, they are my life, my babies and know how much they mean to their owners. If I can help make someone feel better about leaving their cats while on holiday or even just to have them be looked after then it would make me happy.

Experienced Cat Sitter - Flexible with times!
| Hi there! My name is Angus and I'm a 3rd year university student (and cat lover!) who is looking to meet some new animals and help out in their care! As a university student, my days are very open and so I can be very flexible about feeding times, sitting times and I am also open to night sitting. As a cat owner myself, I know how much of a hassle it can be to sort out a night sitter at the last moment. I have experience taking out litters, feeding cats, providing training and entertaining them - as well as how to deal with it when they act up! I really hope you consider my application.

Affectionate and friendly - cat lover. Work in mental health and child care. PVG registered.
| Currently live in the EH21 area, just over the bridge near the riverbank with my landlord. I can definitely provide a reference letter regarding my character. I have experience living with a dog and cats at my former rental places as well as taking care of owners' moggies - with affection when the owners were away on holidays. I've managed to condition 1 cat friend from hissing to newcomers to affectionately purring and all the other imaginable body gestures. My great home experience was... 6 cats in one house! Cat(s) makes me feel at home even when I am on the road wandering. When I 'hello', cats would make a move - 'greet' (rub) & 'meow' back - for some reason. But it does depend on the personalities. I sometimes prepare spare cat biscuits in my bag to make new stranger cat friends on the road.

Compassionate pet lover with 12+ years experience caring for cats!
| Hello! I'm Danielle. I work part time as a Communications Coordinator for a local Scottish charity. I'm also a published writer of poetry and short fiction. And, of course, I'm a cat sitter based in Edinburgh! See my reviews here I've been caring for cats for over 12 years. I have looked after elderly cats as well as kittens (often several at once as I used to be part of a fostering programme). I absolutely love to spend time with cats and my services will include the obvious: feeding, water and litter changes. But also cuddles (if the cat is onboard, of course), pats, administering medication if required, making sure the cat (or cats) is comfortable, and just being there so the cat isn't alone. I will clean up after the cat so that you come home to find the house just as you left it. If you like, I can put out your bins and water your plants, too. If you choose me as your next cat sitter, I will send you daily updates and photos of your fur-baby. I will also make sure you come back home to a happy, relaxed cat.

Student and translator cat lover with over 10 years' experience.
| My name is Tanya, 35, and I'm studying a Nutritional Therapy part-time diploma at University. I am also a Spanish/ Italian Medical Interpreter and Translator and in my free time I love cooking very healthy meals, practicing yoga, learning languages and spending time with friends (especially furry friends!). I grew up with cats in the house. My parents taught me how to look after our cats. Our first cat was a Siamese cat who lived until the grand age of 21. The second I'd had since I was 10 years old in Spain where I grew up. She unfortunately passed away 7 years ago. Right now we have yet another Siamese cat, 7 years old who is an absolute terror, has a fantastic personality but is very cheeky and really doesn't get on with the cat next door. I have also looked after my first live-in landlady's elderly cats here in for a year therefore I have extensive experience in looking after cats. I am a very clean, reliable, trustworthy, friendly and warm person who you can trust wholeheartedly to look after your pet..

How can I find a local cat sitter near me in Edinburgh?

What questions should I ask a cat sitter in an interview?

The best cat sitters in Edinburgh have a combination of experience and passion for cat care. Ask questions about the types of pets they have personally owned and how often they are currently cat sitting. Because cats behave differently than dogs, make sure to ask questions that are specific to cat behaviours and tendencies. It's also a good idea to give specific scenarios to the cat sitter you're speaking to so you can have a good idea of how they will treat your cat when they are in your home. Be sure to ask for references from other cat parents in Edinburgh that have worked with the sitter of your preference.
