Cat sitting in Wivenhoe

Most cats do better at home than in a cattery, so a Wivenhoe cat sitter who comes to you is often the calmer choice. Petme sitters handle feeding, fresh water, the litter tray, medication if needed, and some quiet company, while your cat stays in familiar Colchester surroundings.

Every sitter is ID-verified and reviewed by other Colchester owners, sends a photo and note each visit, and is backed by up to £17,000 in vet protection for eligible incidents. Arrange a meet and greet first so the sitter learns your cat's hiding spots and routine.
