ABOUT ME
Bournemouth's bespoke cat sitting service; professional, reliable, and friendly.... personally tailored to you and your cat's requirements.
Hello, my name is Vicky, the sole owner of Bournemouth Catsitting Service.
I'm a proud, fully registered member of NarpsUK*, have a full clean UK driving licence and a clean CRB, as well as being fully insured for pet sitting/minding and associated services.
- All these documents are presented to you at the initial free consultation.
*NarpsUK - National Associates of Registered Pet Sitters
I have had cats (and other animals) all my life and currently have two furry feline brothers, Malcolm and Tarquin (see pictures). With over seventeen years of personal experience - as an adult, first with three cats when I still lived in Surrey, (Tuppence, Henry and Daisy lived until they were 19, 17 & 16 respectively) and now with the above two (who are five years old), this has given me extensive personal experience with cats.
My professional experience includes working in a vets, and I am currently studying for my feline first aid course and professional pet sitting diploma.
Bournemouth has been my home for the last ten years or so, giving me detailed knowledge of the local area, and during that time I worked within the insurance industry locally here, before realising I truly wanted to be a cat sitter, and so I set up Bournemouth Catsitting Service (aka BCS).
Prior to moving here, I lived and worked in Surrey, where I was born, including managing a retail outlet for four years.
"I am offering a professional, reliable and friendly, bespoke cat sitting service to Bournemouth, the BH postcodes, and the surrounding areas."
Every cat and their owners have different requirements, my three tier pricing system combined with the fact you can mix and match them, means that whatever your requirements are for your cats while you are away, BCS as a professional cat minder, can cater for them.
I am sorry but my services do not extend to dogs. This is for other cat's maximum comfort, relaxation, and enjoyment. (Please see this answer in my FAQ)
My normal working hours are 7am to 7pm, Monday to Sunday, although I can be contacted by email or text out of these hours at any time (within reason).
I can be contacted either by phone, email, text, or personally, for full details, bookings, or if you have any queries or questions at all...
I look forward to hearing from you.
Thank you, and don't forget all my consultations and key collection/returns are FREE!

WHY A CAT SITTER?Why should you use a professional cat sitter and not a cattery?
You don't need to read any proof here to know your cat would be happier at home, without the stresses of a cattery. Cats are territorial and they dislike the smells, strange noises and an unfamiliar environment as found in catteries, not to mention the cattery journey there and back! You will decide which areas of your home your cats are allowed to go. This means your cats can snooze in their favourite areas, relax and doze, eat in the same areas as normal, and just enjoy the peace and quiet of an empty home. You can relax knowing your cat will be calm and relaxed in their own home whilst you're away, but that's still no guarantee they won't be in a 'bit of a huff' with you when you get back! Unlike a house sitter, I will only arrive to service your cat's requirements, as and when you require me to do so and confirmed in the signed BCS service contract. 'I DON'T NEED A CAT SITTER, I'VE FRIENDS AND FAMILY THAT CAN HELP thanks!'If that would be your reply to me, then I could say "That's great and you're lucky to have such help, but... Do they have a professional, yet friendly approach to your cat's care while you are away? Or will they just put the food down and go? - that is if they remember to visit at all!
Will they be able to spend quality time with your cat while you are away? And have they the relevant feline certificates and cat sitting/minding qualifications?" Neighbours, friends, and family all have busy lives these days, and don't like to refuse such favours if they're asked of them... But would you really be getting the professional, reliable, caring level of service which your cat surely needs, requires and deserves while you are away from home? After all, it's not quite as simple as handing over your keys to your neighbour/friend/relative and asking them to feed [insert cats name] for the week while you're away, not when you bear in mind that it's when the owner is away from home that more accidents and incidents happen. As a professional, specialised, caring cat sitter I understand that your cat will be confused as to where you are, he or she will seek comfort and reassurance (more so with a 'homely' cat), as well as needing food and water as normal. BCS can happily provide this along with kisses, cuddles, strokes, care, and love as if they were my own... and some treats too - if they are allowed!
