We can now look forward to our next trip away, knowing Neva will be absolutely fine.

We’d never considered a cat sitting service before but were so glad to have discovered the superb KittyKare. We have a one year old Siberian Neva and, unlike most cats of this breed, he’s a shy, nervous boy who loves us but is terrified of any visitors we have and can’t deal with change of any kind. We tried him in a cattery but picked him up same day as he just couldn’t cope with the environment. Jenny from KittyKare visited us to meet him and was fantastic - she approached him with exactly the right blend of kindness and patience that he needs and it was clear from our first meeting that we’d be leaving our cat (and our house) with a safe, competent pair of hands. During our holiday, Jenny came twice a day and for the first few visits, he kept his distance (which we expected) but after we’d had a few days away we were sent videos of him purring and playing - we were kept up to date over WhatsApp which was so reassuring. He eventually had a lap fuss with Jenny which is something we really couldn’t imagine him doing - it was such a relief to know he was home and well looked after. We returned home to a happy, stress-free cat in his own home and an honest hand-written diary of how he’d been doing day by day. We are so grateful to have found a service that caters to the needs of the cat (and us as worried owners) as we were so concerned about leaving him. We can now look forward to our next trip away, knowing Neva will be absolutely fine.

Owner of Neva

we are most impressed with the running of Kitty Kare and their strict code of practice

After meeting Lesley and Helen for the first time we knew Tigger and Blue would be in good hands. We are most impressed with the running of Kitty Kare and their strict code of practice.

We were in contact with them whilst we were away and given updates of how our boys were. Helen came in twice a day to make sure they were fed and watered and curtains opened or closed. She seemed to quickly win them over, and them letting her comb them proves this point. Thank you Helen. We have no hesitation in recommending Kitty Kare and will definitely be using their services again when required.

Owner of Tigger and Blue

Sue gets to know the cat's personality and forms a trust bond

Kitty Kare have been great. Sue Horsfall is lovely. She gives all care and I even get a detailed report waiting for me when I get home. This is the second of my cats that she has cared for when I have been away. She gets to know the cat's personality and forms a trust bond, giving them loads of fuss and attention.

Owner of Minky Esmeralda

professional, trustworthy, informative and very caring

Excellent service, as always. Any worries I may have had when the wonderful Natasha left were quickly banished when I was introduced to Helen McCarrick earlier this year as a new pet sitter for my area. She was warm & friendly, & the amount of care & attention she lavished on Charlie when we went away was wonderful. (He wants to know when we are going away again!) Kitty Kare are professional, trustworthy informative & very caring. I can't recommend them enough.

Owner of Charlie (Chellaston)

thoughtful and thorough. No request was any trouble and we felt we could contact Jane at any time

Kitty Kare's service was very thoughtful and thorough. Dimi was in good spirits on our return, and we could clearly see he had been cared for. Play areas and boxes for hiding had been created and enjoyed around the house. Jane sent photos while we were away, and a handy diary had been left for us so we knew what he had been up to in our absence. No request was any trouble and we felt we could contact Jane at any time.

Owner of Dimi (Repton)

they are always happy to offer help and advice

I could not be more pleased with the service provided by Kitty Kare. Both Lesley and Carole are fantastic and always happy to offer help and advice. I have used Kitty Kare several times whilst going away at weekends and feel very reassured that they take great care of my cat! Would definitely recommend!

Owner of Jess

Carole gained his confidence so he doesn't hide

I have just returned from holiday and Carole has been feeding my cats over the spell of awful weather. I am so grateful that she is reliable and always looks after my cats so well. Thank you Carole for coming out in the snow to look after them. Olly is a very nervous cat with strangers and Carole has now gained his confidence so he doesn't hide. I have used other pet sitting services and been disappointed but I can highly recommend Kitty Kare.

Owner of Ollie and Rusty

Helen really loves my cat and understands her needs

I always feel that Lottie is being looked after by someone who really loves her and, as importantly, knows about and understands her needs. It makes me feel that when I'm away I don't have to worry about her.

Owner of Lottie (Alvaston)

Beccy was wonderful, even feeding him in his bed when he refused to get up

I just wanted to say a huge thank you for looking after George, Beth, and Cinders. Georgie can be very shy around strangers, but Beccy was wonderful, even feeding him in his favorite bed when he refused to get up! I honestly can’t thank you enough & will be recommending Kitty Kare to my friends and family.

Owner of George, Beth and Cinders. Egginton

all the little extras Susan did were above and beyond my expectations

Absolutely fantastic from beginning to end. From the initial meeting to the texts after we got home. Absolutely everything was thought of and carried out with great care. Susan Powell was fantastic with Mitten and all the little extras she did were above and beyond my expectations, I can't recommend the service enough.

Owner of Mitten (Mickleover)

A detailed medical history is taken. I trusted Julia completely to look after my blind cat

All my worries about leaving my beloved cats when I go on my holidays are completely unfounded as Kitty Kare looks after the boys with lots of attention and fuss. I know they are in safe hands whilst I am away. They all have different dietary requirements and this is followed to the letter. The initial meeting is very thorough and a detailed medical history is taken. I trusted Julia completely to look after my blind cat. I would not hesitate to recommend Kitty Kare, and I have complete peace of mind with the sitters as they look after my cats exactly as I would like them to - their welfare is of paramount importance to the cat sitters as it is to me.

Owner of Monty, Rocky, and Ned

All of the Kitty Kare team are extremely experienced and knowledgeable and have often given me invaluable advice

Jenny and Becky have been brilliant

I have been using Kitty Kare for over 10 years and would never entrust anyone else with my cats. All of the Kitty Kare team are extremely experienced and knowledgeable in cat care and have often given me invaluable advice. Jenny and Becky have always been brilliant, and even my most anti-social cat will let Jenny stroke her now. When my cats have been unwell, I know they get plenty of extra TLC if I have to leave them, and I get peace of mind by way of text and photo updates. When I am away, it is so reassuring to know my home is being checked, but most of all my cats can go about their normal routine happily. I can't recommend Kitty Kare highly enough. I would be lost without them.

Owner of Daisy (HILTON)

they have in-depth documentation for when you go away which really reassures you

Kitty Kare is a very reliable, friendly, and trustworthy service. They provide wonderful care for my pets, which include not just my cat but my tortoises too. Lesley, Jenny, and the team are really professional and have in-depth documentation for when you go away which really reassures you. I used to have a cat that was really unwell the week of my holiday. Lesley came round to my home herself and supported her colleague in how they were going to care for her, which I thought was excellent. I would recommend this service to everyone.

Owner of Bandit and tortoises (HILTON)

We think Sue is marvelous! We could not be more happy with the service

We could not be more happy with the service Kitty Kare provides. We think Sue Horsfall is marvelous. She not only looks after them all with great care, she also takes in the post, waters our plants and is willing to do any other task if we require it. We know we can go away with peace of mind knowing our pets are well and truly cared for, and it's nice to know we can trust Sue to do this for us.

Owner of Misty, Suky, and Percy rabbit

Sue and Carole do a great job. We always come home to happy contented cats.

Kitty Kare is fantastic and a much better alternative to a cattery. Sue Horsfall is amazing and all the cats love her, especially Frankie. We go away with complete peace of mind knowing that our cats are getting the best attention and receiving excellent care. As well as feeding and playing with the cats, Sue also keeps an eye on the house for us, waters the plants, puts the bins out, and takes in the post. I must also mention Carole who does an equally great job when Sue is unable to visit. Kitty Kare are reliable and professional, and we always come home to happy contented cats.

Owner of Molly, Frankie, Bubbles, and Charlie

Thank you Kitty Kare, Lesley, Sue and Carole. Keep up the good work for many years to come!

Kitty Kare is a friendly, professional, and caring service. We have used Kitty Kare for many years. Around 2009 we were introduced to Kitty Kare and never looked back. We have 5 cats, each with their own personalities. A few weeks before Kitty Kare are due to look after your cats, they contact you to check if there are any changes and new instructions to look after them while you are away. A daily diary is written for you to read when you return explaining what they have been doing, what they have eaten, and how many cuddles they have had. It's really nice to read about how they have been while you've been away. We are fortunate to have found Kitty Kare. I couldn't wish for anything else. Thank you Kitty Kare, Lesley, Sue, and Carole. Keep up the good work for many more years to come! x

Owner of Tilly, Trixie, George, India, and Simon

Jenny is fantastic with my cat

I have been using Kitty Kare for many years and always know that Tabby is well looked after. Jenny is fantastic with her. Kitty Kare provides an excellent service which we would highly recommend!

Owner of Tabby

I am always impressed by the punctual, comprehensive and caring service given by Helen

I have used Kitty Kare for some years now, and I am always impressed by the punctual, comprehensive, and caring service that is given by Helen, our sitter. I feel completely relaxed on holiday knowing our three are in excellent hands. Helen also waters plants, feeds the hedgehog, birds, squirrel, etc. She is such a kind and lovely person, and the cats adore her too. I can't recommend Kitty Kare highly enough.

Owner of Mabel, Maggie, and Charlie

highly professional, thorough and trustworthy

Have used Kitty Kare for over 10 years. It's highly professional, thorough, and trustworthy but importantly, it's dedicated and caring with the individual cats. I can't recommend them more highly.

Owner of Tavish (ETWALL)

very pleased with how Jenny has been with our nervous cat

We are very pleased with Kitty Kare, in particular with how good Jenny has been with Peter, who can be a nervous cat, especially around people he does not know. After Jenny came to meet us for the first time, we knew that Peter would be in good hands. We like how Jenny updated us regularly, and this enabled us to relax while on holiday knowing that Peter was being looked after well with the two calls per day. We like how there was a letter when we returned with a diary of every day on how Peter was, etc. We would definitely recommend Kitty Kare to anyone. Thanks again!

Owner of Peter

they look forward to seeing her as she's the cat whisperer!!

Sue Horsfall cares for my kitties. I know they look forward to seeing her as she's the cat whisperer!! They know the sound of her car and footsteps on the drive! She always has a story to tell them and food to fill their rumbling tums. I never worry when I'm away as I know they are being well looked after. I ask her for advice sometimes if one of the cats is ill; she is very sensible and caring. I have been happily having Kitty Kare for about 15 years, and Sue has seen cats come and go and always has kind words when needed. Thanks Sue.

Owner of Margot, Rudolph, Starling, and Freda

Jenny is always incredibly attentive. The love of animals was very clear from the offset

We have used Kitty Kare for a number of years now, and the service is consistently brilliant. Jenny is always incredibly attentive to Smithers' needs even when he's in one of his regular moods, to such an extent that he now gets the hump whenever anybody else checks on him! The love of animals was very clear from the offset and immediately alleviated any worries about leaving him.

Owner of Smithers

Beccy did a wonderful job with my old cats

I've been using Kitty Kare for many years and wouldn't hesitate to recommend the service. Beccy did a wonderful job with my old couple, Merlin and Spot, particularly when Spot was getting old and more crabby than ever. Latterly, Jenny has taken care of Genie and Dan the demon cat - sadly no longer with us. I always feel at ease when I'm away, knowing that Jenny will look after Genie as she would her own. She sends me regular updates and photos which mean a great deal. Nothing has ever been too much trouble for my pet sitters, and Genie gets thoroughly spoiled.

Owner of Merlin, Spot, Genie, and Dan. Hilton

we are extremely happy with the considerate, caring and thoughtful service provided by Julia

We are extremely happy with the considerate, caring, and thoughtful service provided by Julia. The pet sitters are very friendly and obviously care deeply about the cats in their care. We really appreciate the fact that they leave us a note to let us know how the visits have gone. Our cats are rescue cats who were very nervous, and it's great to see how they are getting more used to visitors in our house. We are very impressed with the service provided by Kitty Kare and would recommend them highly without hesitation.

Owner of Inca and Esme, Duffield

seeing Jenny keeps our cat calm and well

Brilliant! Moggs is a sensitive 12-year-old who loves fuss. Seeing Jenny keeps her calm and well. We can relax knowing that she is happy.

Owner of Moggs. Hilton

the service and peace of mind they provide is invaluable

We have been using Kitty Kare for the past 4 years and find the service and peace of mind they provide invaluable. Previously we found it could be restricting trying to plan holidays or visit family in Scotland being a cat owner. However, since we discovered Kitty Kare, we are able to plan trips knowing that Coco will be well cared for by Susan or Julia.

Owner of Coco

Jenny has been great. We know Tiger is well looked after

We have been using Kitty Kare now for a couple of years and are really pleased with the service. Jenny has looked after our cat Tiger several times now and she has been great. We know Tiger is well looked after in our absence. Having confidence in the service allows you to enjoy your break without anxiety and concern for your pet at home. Would definitely recommend this service.

Owner of Tiger. Hilton

we've come home to a happy and well-cared-for cat each time

We have used Kitty Kare several times and have been extremely pleased with the level of care. We've come home to a happy and well-cared-for cat each time. Many thanks to Becky and all.

Owner of Dudley

Jenny always provides an excellent service

I've been using Kitty Kare for a couple of years now, and Jenny always provides an excellent service. She takes great care of the cats and the house, which gives me peace of mind when I'm away. Thank you!

Owner of Pepper and Smudge. Hilton

service is reliable and enables our cat to be cared for in her own home

Sue is great. Service is reliable and enables our cat to be cared for in her own home, which is better for her. We know Madge likes Sue, and we also appreciate the little things, e.g., bin out and post kept to one side.

Owner of Pepper and Smudge. Hilton

our request was handled very professionally.

Jenny is caring and trustworthy and provided comprehensive feedback

We are delighted with the service we received from Kitty Kare. From the outset, our request was handled very professionally by Lesley and with very short notice too. Jenny our sitter is a lovely, caring and trustworthy lady who went out of her way to ensure that our cat’s were well looked after and their litter, food trays and surrounds were kept clean and attended to. She met and played with both cat’s before we left for the holiday which was very reassuring and on our return the cat’s were happy and relaxed and our house was secure. She also provided comprehensive feedback of their daily care whilst we were on holiday which again was valuable. We would not hesitate to recommend her and Kitty Kare and we would definitely use their services again. Thank you.

Owner of Luna and Benjie

Carole is a star!

Carole knew straight away what our 19-year-old cat's needs were

Linford is a vintage feline age 19 he has never been cared for by anyone other than family. I was very anxious in leaving him in a stranger's care. However, on meeting Carole from Kitty Kare, I knew she was just the person to care for our much-loved feline. She knew straight away what Linford's needs were and immediately put my mind at rest.

Carole is a star.

Kitty Kare is a professional and very caring organization, and I would highly recommend them to any cat owners.

Owner of Linford

Helen has been marvelous in her care of the cats, as well as the garden and fish

I was very nervous about using a pet sitting service for the first time to look after our 3 beloved kitties, but I have been completely won over by the professionalism and friendliness of KittyKare. Helen has been marvellous in her care of the cats (as well as the garden and fish). The photos she sent us of 3 happy cats baring their fat tummies, and the very smart and groomed (usually scruffy) old boy we found on our return were most reassuring. We won't hesitate to use KittyKare again.

Owner of Omar, Misty, and Kitsy

Lesley and Kitty Kare have been looking after my cats for 13 years

Lesley and Kitty Kare have been looking after my cats, Barnie and Leo since they were kittens, they are now 13 years young! They love and trust her so much. I always send a couple of texts to see how they are and I always get a lovely reply. When I get home there is a Welcome Home letter waiting for me letting me know how they have been in more detail. They are so lucky that they can stay at home while I am away as I know they would not enjoy or cope very well with being put in a cattery. Kitty Kare takes the stress away for me as I hate leaving them, so I can have a fabulous holiday and they are well and truly spoilt. Thank you so much Lesley.

Owner of Barnie and Leo. Mickleover

Beccy was amazing, fantastic. Will ask for her every time. A complete star!

Beccy was amazing. I can’t say too much but she was fantastic... will ask for her every time .. she even emptied my bins. She has guaranteed you a repeat customer. What a complete star.

Owner of Jaffa

Exceptional service. Easy to contact, professional and great value

Beccy is so good with the cats

Your service is exceptional - easy to contact, very professional and great value. Beccy is so good with the cats and even sends photo updates while I’m away! It can be stressful leaving your cats at home while you’re away but I never worry once when they’re in your capable hands. Nothing seems too much trouble and it’s reassuring to see that you all love pets as much as I do. I’d recommend Kitty Kate to anyone! Thank you.

Owner of Ruby, Muffin, and Lola

Absolutely brilliant.

Attention to detail and little extras much appreciated

Absolutely brilliant, we’ve used Kitty Kare many times over the last 12 years or so and we’ve been very satisfied every time. The cats are very happy and the attention to detail with little extras is much appreciated.

Owner of Jet and Jessie

knowing that Sue or Carole will be looking after them means I do not have to worry

The service offered by Kitty Kare is fantastic. It's always a worry leaving my cats 'home alone,' especially as one is very very nervous of humans. However, knowing that Sue (and occasionally Carole) will be looking after them means that I do not have to worry at all and that they are being well looked after and cuddled in my absence. It's so lovely to have the report when I get home too, especially seeing how my nervous Jackie has now started to trust Sue. It's a massive weight off my shoulders, and I cannot speak highly enough of the excellent service offered by Kitty Kare and would recommend them without hesitation. Thank you.
