Why Choose K9 Time

See Your Cat Every Day

Don't just rely on a note left on the counter. We use a free mobile app to send you photos, videos, and a detailed visit report after every single visit. You get total peace of mind seeing your cat happy and fed.

Calming for Anxious Cats

As a Certified Usui Reiki Master, Derek brings a uniquely calm, holistic energy to every visit. This is incredibly comforting for nervous, rescue, or senior cats who struggle when their owners are away.

Cat Care + Home Security

While you're away, we don't just feed the cat. We collect your mail, water the plants, and take out the rubbish, ensuring your home looks lived-in and secure.

What’s Included In Each Visit

When you hire our Sheffield cat sitters, every visit includes the essentials your cat needs. Our pet sitting covers feeding, fresh water, and litter tray care. I also spend time with your cat through play and cuddles. You’ll also receive photos and videos via the free app after each visit, so you can see exactly how your cat is getting on.

Beyond cat care, I can help with small household tasks such as watering plants, collecting mail, and taking out rubbish. Regular visits to your property help keep it looking lived-in while you’re away.

Visit Length Options: 15 Minutes Or 30 Minutes

Visit LengthPrice
15 minutes£14
30 minutes£20

A 15-minute visit works well for independent cats who simply need feeding, fresh water, and a clean litter tray. The 30-minute option suits more sociable cats who enjoy extra playtime and companionship, or households with multiple cats that need a bit more time.

Typical Schedules, Including Two Visits Per Day

Most cats do well with two visits per day, typically one in the morning and one in the evening. This keeps feeding times consistent and ensures your cat has regular human contact throughout the day. I’ll work with you to agree a schedule that matches your cat’s existing routine as closely as possible.

What To Expect From Your Cat Sitter While You’re Away

Feeding, Fresh Water, Litter Tray Care, And Playtime

Each visit follows the instructions you provide. I feed your cat their usual food at the times they’re accustomed to, refresh their water bowls, and thoroughly clean and replenish the litter tray.

If your cat enjoys interactive play, I bring that into every visit too. The goal is to replicate your presence as closely as possible, so your cat barely notices you’ve gone.

Photos And Videos Through The App For Peace Of Mind

After every visit, I send a detailed update through the free mobile app. This includes photos and videos of your cat, plus a summary of how the visit went. You’ll see your cat relaxed, fed, and content in their own home. It’s a simple thing, but it makes a real difference when you’re hundreds of miles away.

Extra Household Help Such As Mail, Plants, And Rubbish

  • Collect post from the doormat
  • Water any plants you’d like tended
  • Take out rubbish or recycling as needed

These small touches help with home security by keeping your property looking occupied, which is a genuine benefit when you’re away for an extended period.

Ready to arrange stress-free care for your cat?

Leaving your cat can be worrying, especially if they are nervous, elderly, or simply prefer their own company. As a registered NarpsUK member and a Certified Usui Reiki Master, I bring a calm, professional, and holistic approach to every visit—helping even the most anxious cats feel settled and safe while you’re away.

Let’s make sure we’re a great fit. I offer a completely free, no-obligation 30-minute meet and greet so I can get to know your cat’s routine and you can ask any questions you have.

How The Meet And Greet Works

The process starts with a free 30-minute meet and greet at your home. I’ll come to you, meet your cat, and get a feel for their personality and environment. There’s no obligation attached. It’s simply a chance for us to make sure everything feels right before committing to a booking.

Sharing Your Cat’s Routine, Preferences, And Home Instructions

During the meet and greet, I’ll ask about your cat’s feeding schedule, dietary requirements, favourite toys, and any quirks or health considerations.

We’ll also run through practical details such as food and litter supplies, how locks work, and any household tasks you’d like covered. The more detail you share, the smoother every visit will be.

When To Get In Touch For Availability In Sheffield

Booking early is always a good idea, particularly around school holidays and busy travel periods such as Christmas and summer. To arrange your free meet and greet or check availability in the Sheffield S7, S8, S10, S11, or S17 areas, give me a call. I’m always happy to have a no-obligation chat about your cat’s needs and how I can help.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are you DBS checked and insured? Yes. For your complete peace of mind, I am fully DBS (police) checked, comprehensively insured, and a registered member of NarpsUK (National Association of Pet Sitters & Dog Walkers).

Which areas do your Sheffield cat sitters cover? We provide cat sitting exclusively across South West Sheffield, including S7, S8, S10, S11, and S17. This covers areas like Ecclesall, Crookes, Millhouses, Dore, and Nether Edge.

How will I know my cat is okay while I’m away? After every single visit, I send you a detailed update, including photos and videos of your cat, directly through our free mobile app. You’ll always know they are fed, happy, and relaxed.

My cat is very nervous around strangers. Can you help? Absolutely. As a Certified Third Degree Reiki Master, I specialize in a calming, holistic approach. I take the time to let nervous or rescue cats approach me at their own pace, ensuring they feel safe and secure in their own home.

Why Choose In-Home Cat Sitting?

Cat hotels and catteries can be stressful. My service ensures your cat maintains their routine, comfort, and

happiness. Plus, your home stays secure while you’re gone.

Stress-Free Comfort

Your cat stays in their own bed, with their own smells and toys. No pining, no stress, just home comforts.

Home Security

Regular visits help keep your home lived-in (e.g., plant watering, taking out rubbish, collecting mail) which adds security while you’re away.

Consistent Routine

Feeding, and playtimes happen on your schedule. No disruption to your cat’s daily habits.
