Welcome to CatStaycation
Based in Hempsted, Gloucester, CatStaycation provides a bespoke service of daily visits to care for cats in the comfort of their own homes.
Having a home cat sitter provides an ideal alternative to a cattery as cats prefer their own territory and the security of their own surroundings. At CatStaycation, the service is tailored specifically to you and your cat’s needs, giving you peace of mind that your pet is being well looked after while you are away.
On a CatStaycation your pet can enjoy its usual daily routine, take a nap or two in a favourite sleeping place, and feel comforted by the familiar scents, sights and sounds of home.
If you are interested to hear more about the CatStaycation cat sitting service, I offer a free, no obligation, new customer initial visit to your home. Here, we can discuss your specific requirements, your cat’s routine and I can answer any questions you may have. It will also give your precious cat a chance to check me out!
We give your cat loving care when you can't be there.

Where cats feel at home - because they are!
“Cats always seem so very wise,
when staring with their half-closed eyes.
Can they be thinking,“I’ll be nice,
and maybe she will feed me twice?”
- Bette Midler
About CatStaycation
Cats appear independent, but they can become unhappy very quickly if their needs aren’t properly met when you go away. Having the right kind of cat care will give you peace of mind - happy cat, happy cat parent!
I have clear DBS background checks and have the appropriate liability insurance in place. On a CatStaycation, you can be assured that your cat will be pampered and cared for to your exact instructions.
Additional benefits of a CatStaycation are that travel trauma is eliminated for both you and your cat, and on your return home, whatever time of day or night, you can see your beloved cat immediately, whereas at a cattery getting home late means you can’t collect your pet until the following day.
I am the owner of two gorgeous girl cats, Pixie and Purdy, and I can’t remember a time in my life when I didn’t have a cat in the family home. After years of cat sitting for friends during their holidays, I decided to branch out and offer my CatStaycation service locally.
I am crazy about cats and my mission with CatStaycation is to provide an exceptional service so that you can relax and enjoy your time away with absolute confidence that your cat is being well cared for.
Dogs have owners - cats have staff!
Booking a CatStaycation
Prior to the first booking, every prospective new client will receive a home visit where we can chat about the services offered at CatStaycation and discuss the possibility of me taking care of your cat when you are next planning a holiday, a business trip or a weekend away.
At this initial meeting you will be given a welcome pack which includes information about the service, registration and booking forms, terms & conditions and a little treat for the VIP (Very Important Pet!).
If you’ve had a home visit and completed a registration form, and are now ready to make a booking, please email me at cathy@cat-staycation.co.uk with your dates and I will get your booking confirmed for you.
