Cat Sitting Services

Richmond Housesitters are devoted cat lovers who are eager to come over and lavish your kitty with love and affection. Whether it’s time for play, a little brushing or a litter box change, Richmond Housesitters has got it covered.

Most cats prefer to stay at home when you are away on holiday or on business. They have their own bed, own surroundings and regular human contact.  Cats become very attached to their home environment and are naturally frightened of unfamiliar places and smells. Intelligent animals, they need both mental and physical stimulation – play is an important aspect of their behaviour. If they are removed from their territory and their human companions, cats can suffer significant separation stress and suffer from loss of appetite, spraying, scratching, hiding and excessive meowing.  Richmond Housesitters will stay and ensure that all your cats’ needs are catered for.
