My cat sitting service for Whitley Bay, Cullercoats and surrounding areas offers you and your cat(s) the high standard of personal care that I would wish for my two, Teddy and Lily. Although cats are very independent creatures, they are very territorial and like nothing more than to be in the security and comfort of their own home.

Whilst you can often rely on friends and family to visit your pets, it is important that your cat is given companionship and care by experienced cat lovers such as myself.

Firstly, I will come and visit you at your home (free of charge) so that I can get to know your cat(s) and talk to you about their routine, requirements, likes and dislikes and any health issues.

We will then discuss whether you would prefer two visits per day or one visit per day.

Prices

15 min pop in visit £8.50 (£8.00 if 2 visits per day, £10 at weekends)

This is ideal if your cat is shy and will hide away and not interact.

30 min longer visit £10 (£12 at weekends)

This is recommended for cats only receiving one visit per day.

NB I do not offer any discounts for 2 visits a day at weekends.

It will be either £10 per visit (pop in) or £12 (longer visit with playtime and cuddles).

I will no longer be offering 2 visits a day between the months of November and March, only 1 visit (unless you live a short walking distance from my home).

Cats must be indoors for the duration of the visits unless there is a cat flap leading into a secure back garden.

When I visit, I will discard any old food and replace it with fresh food and water. I can also groom your cat(s) and administer any medication, if applicable. The litter tray(s) will be cleaned and lots of TLC will be given. (I always come equipped with lots of toys which are usually very popular – especially the dangly feather toy!)

If you would like your plants watered, bins put out or curtains drawn whilst I am there, just let me know.

Why Choose me?

I do not charge extra for a second cat. However, each additional cat after that is £2.

I provide a cost effective alternative to a cattery and there will be minimal disruption to your cat’s normal routine.

There will be no struggling to get your cat into the dreaded travel basket and no stressful transport to and from the cattery.

Peace of mind that your house will be safe while you are away.

Less risk of being burgled as my car does not advertise the fact that I am a pet sitter.

I will give you regular updates by text and by uploading pictures/videos of your cat(s) onto my Facebook page so you can see how happy they are.

DRB checked.

Fully insured.

Extras that may apply

£5 per visit supplement for Christmas Eve/Day, New Years Eve/Day and Bank Holidays.

Emergency vet visits - £15 per hour (vet fees will be charged in full on your return).

*All prices quoted are based on a 4 mile radius from Whitley Bay, Tyne and Wear NE26. Anywhere over 4 miles will be charged at 0.40p per mile extra each way. (I use the website www.freemaptools.com for the distance calculation.)

Keys

Little Mutz Moggies requires two copies of your house keys during the initial visit. A £5 charge will be applied if I have to make a copy. It is recommended that your keys remain in your 'Little Mutz Moggies' file for the convenience of future services and to enable online/telephone reservations, thus avoiding future key pick up appointments. Should you choose to have your keys returned, a £5 key pick up/drop off charge will be applied to future visits.

NB Keys are coded with a tag and kept in a locked safe. I can assure you that the tag will have no reference to your name or address and will be kept separate from any address information.

"I'm Home" calls

Please remember to call or text when you have returned home safely.
