Why Choose Purrs at Home?

We are a small, trusted team of three cat sitters. We focus on consistency so, wherever possible, your cat will be cared for by the same sitter throughout your booking.

Cats thrive on routine and familiarity. Seeing a known, trusted person helps reduce anxiety and allows us to build a genuine understanding of your cat’s personality, habits, and needs.

Your cat receives one-to-one personal care in their own home, surrounded by familiar scents, routines, and comforts. This avoids the stress many cats experience when moved into unfamiliar environments.

By staying at home, your cat avoids the anxiety of car journeys and temporary boarding facilities. This is particularly beneficial for nervous cats, senior cats, and cats with medical or behavioural needs.

Each visit is focused entirely on your cat’s wellbeing - not divided between multiple animals in a busy setting. We take time at every visit to observe behaviour, mood, appetite, and overall health.

All of our sitters are trained to spot and assess potential health concerns in cats and will seek veterinary advice promptly if anything appears out of the ordinary. With a background working in veterinary settings, we are confident in recognising early signs of illness or discomfort.

Our regular visits help keep your home looking lived-in and running smoothly while you’re away. We are mindful that discretion is an important part of home security, which is why our sitters arrive in unbranded vehicles with no decals or advertisements. This avoids drawing attention to the fact that a property may be unoccupied. We are also happy to assist with watering plants, bringing in mail, bin collection & light cleaning related to your pet’s care.

You have 24-hour direct contact with Purrs at Home should you have any concerns about your pet or your home while you’re away. With a small team, communication is direct, personal, and reliable.

For your protection and peace of mind, all sitters are fully Disclosure Scotland checked and insured through Petplan Sanctuary.
