Personalised Feline Care: Kitten and Senior Cat Sitting
K9 Time adapts care to your cat’s needs, routine and home. You get visits that match feeding times, preferred toys, and any medical needs, plus updates and photos so you know how your cat is doing.
Understanding Individual Temperaments
We learn your cat’s likes, dislikes and stress signs before the first paid visit. Tell us if your cat is shy, vocal, food-motivated, or needs slow introductions to new people. We note preferred hiding spots and whether they tolerate being picked up or only enjoy gentle strokes.
We record triggers like loud noises, other pets or visitors, and build a plan to avoid them. For anxious cats we use quiet, low-light visits and slower movements. For confident cats we offer more interactive play and supervised exploration.
Medication routines get clear instructions from you. We follow exact dosages and times, and log every dose and any reactions. You receive a short message after each visit confirming care and any changes in behaviour.
Flexible Visit Schedules
You choose how often and when visits happen. Options include single daily check-ins, twice-daily care, or longer daytime visits for kittens and seniors. We fit visits around your cat’s meal times and litter routines to keep stress low.
Short notice requests are possible for many bookings. We offer a free meet-and-greet to set up routines and keys, and we can update schedules if your travel plans change. For longer trips we set a consistent visit pattern so your cat keeps the same rhythm.
Price and time options are clear: brief 15–30 minute checks for feeding and litter, or 45–60 minute sessions for play and companionship. You get a visit report with photos and notes after every call, so you always know what happened.
Bespoke Play and Interaction
We match play to your cat’s age, energy and hunting style.
We use your cat’s toys according to your preference. If your moggy enjoys solo play, we leave rotating toys and supervised puzzle feeders. If they prefer company, we sit quietly, read the room, and increase interaction until they’re comfortable.
We monitor responses during play for overstimulation or stress. If your cat shows signs of tiredness or agitation we pause and switch to calm activities like grooming or sit-and-stay time. You receive specific notes about what worked, so you can replicate successful play at home.
Comforts of Home: Stress-Free Sitting Versus Cattery
Keeping your cat in their usual place reduces fear, keeps feeding and toileting normal, and removes the stress of travel and strange routines. You get tailor-made care that matches your cat’s habits and health needs.
Minimising Anxiety in Familiar Surroundings
Your cat recognises home scents, furniture and hiding spots. Sitting in that environment means they can retreat to the same safe places, which lowers hiding, trembling or loss of appetite. A sitter from K9 Time will follow your instructions for the cat’s favourite hiding spot, play style and calming signals so the animal gets the same reassurance it does when you’re there.
You can leave a favourite blanket or unwashed cushion for comfort. The sitter will provide focused attention — short play sessions, slow approach, and quiet presence — rather than the sudden noises and other animals often found in catteries. That steady, known routine helps even nervous or elderly cats stay calm.
Routine and Environment Consistency
Keeping meal times, portion sizes and litter cleaning exactly as normal helps your cat keep eating and using the tray. K9 Time sitters record feeding times, litter checks and behavioural notes so you know if anything changes. This consistency is crucial for cats on prescription diets, medication schedules, or those with urinary issues.
The sitter also preserves ambient factors: room temperature, light cycles and the usual window-view spots. These small details affect sleep patterns and stress hormones. If your cat needs medication, the sitter will follow written instructions and log each dose to avoid missed or doubled doses.
Eliminating Travel and Boarding Hassles
Transport to a cattery can trigger travel sickness, vocalisation and fear. Staying at home removes the need for carriers, car journeys and sudden crate confinement that many cats dislike. You avoid the extra vet checks or vaccine paperwork some catteries require at drop-off.
K9 Time handles keys, security instructions and emergency contacts so you don’t worry about logistics. The sitter will also bring in post, water plants or adjust heating if you ask, which keeps your home secure while caring for your cat. That practical support reduces stress for both you and your pet.
All-Inclusive In-Home Pet Services
K9 Time makes sure your cat has the same daily routine, clean litter, and any medicines given on time. You get clear updates and photos so you know your moggy is safe and comfortable.
Feeding and Fresh Water
We follow your exact feeding plan, whether that means dry food at 07:30 and wet food at 18:00, measured portions, or free feeding from a weighed bowl. Tell us the brand and gram amounts, and we log each meal with a photo and time stamp for your peace of mind.
Fresh water is replaced every visit and bowls are washed when needed to stop slime and bacteria build-up. If your cat drinks from a water fountain, we check flow and top up reservoirs. We also note appetite changes and message you immediately if your cat skips more than one meal.
Special diets, weight management plans, or food sensitivities are handled precisely. We keep separate utensils for medicated or special food to avoid cross-contamination. If you want daily weight checks on an affordable kitchen scale, we can do that and report any trends.
Litter Tray Maintenance
We clean litter trays at every visit, removing solid waste and clumping urine, then raking and levelling the litter so your cat has a fresh, comfortable spot. We top up litter levels and replace liners or full litter only when you prefer to limit waste.
For multi-tray households, we keep a tray schedule to make sure each tray is checked and replenished. We use scoops and gloves and dispose of waste hygienically. If a tray shows unusual odour, excess moisture, or diarrhoea, we photograph and let you know right away.
Deep cleans happen on request or after a set number of days you choose. That includes full litter replacement, washing non‑absorbent trays with pet-safe cleaner, and drying before refilling. We also advise on litter type and tray size if you ask for recommendations.
Medication Administration
We give tablets, liquids, and spot treatments according to your exact instructions and the vet’s guidance. You tell us frequency, dosage, and preferred method — pill pocket, hidden in food, or straight to mouth — and we confirm after each administration with a photo and timestamp.
For injections or complex treatments, we work with your vet or your trained carer and follow written consent. We monitor for side effects like vomiting, lethargy, or allergic reactions and notify you and your vet immediately if anything unusual happens.
We keep a clear medication log for each visit with dose, time, and any reactions. If a dose is missed for any reason, we follow your plan for catch-up dosing or contact the vet before proceeding.
Safety, Security, and Trust
You get experienced sitters who put your cat’s health first, careful home checks that reduce risk, and clear, regular updates so you stay informed while you’re away.
Experienced and Compassionate Sitters
K9 Time sitters have hands‑on cat care experience and DBS checks. Each sitter knows how to read feline body language, spot signs of pain or stress, and follow medication schedules exactly.
You meet your sitter at a free meet‑and‑greet. That lets you show feeding routines, special care needs, and where you keep meds and vet details. It also lets you judge how calm and confident the sitter is with your moggy.
Home Security Checks
Sitters perform a short security routine each visit to keep your home safe and lived‑in. They close and lock doors and windows, check alarm settings where you ask them to, and collect post or packages on agreed days.
They also follow a written access plan you provide, so keys, codes and spare locations are handled only as you instruct.
If you want, sitters will water indoor plants, switch lights on and off on a schedule, and take bins out on bin day. These small actions reduce the chance of burglar attention and make your home look occupied.
Regular Updates and Communication
You receive one or more updates after every visit, including time of visit, food given, litter status and a photo or short video. K9 Time uses an app or email — you choose which — so you can see the same record of care each time.
If a sitter notices any worrying sign, they call you immediately and explain options, including contacting your named vet with your permission. Emergency contacts and vet details are kept on the sitter’s checklist to speed up decisions.
You can set how often you want updates and what details matter most, such as playtime notes or appetite logs. This keeps you connected without getting messages you don’t need.
Why Choose K9 Time for Your Cat Sitting Needs?
K9 Time keeps your cat on its normal routine, checks your home for security, and sends updates so you stay informed. You get trained care that focuses on your cat’s comfort, plus clear pricing and a free meet-and-greet.
Reputation and Local Expertise
K9 Time provides professional pet sitting in Sheffield postcodes S7, S8, S10, S11 & S17, so the sitter knows local vets and emergency routes you might need. The business holds registered profiles and local listings that show five-star reviews and repeat customers, which means other owners trust their reliability.
You meet the sitter before bookings. That meet-and-greet lets you show feeding routines, medication steps, favourite toys and where the litter trays sit. You can ask about DBS checks, insurance and specific handling of shy or anxious cats.
During visits the sitter follows your written care plan and sends photos or short updates. That gives you peace of mind when you’re away and helps spot small health changes early.
Flexible Booking Options
K9 Time offers short visits and longer visits to match your cat’s needs and your schedule. Typical options include two daily visits for litter, feeding and play, and longer slots when you want extra cuddles or medication time. Prices are clear per visit length so you know costs up front.
You can book regular visits, ad-hoc trips or single stays for holidays. The service aims to fit into your routine, not force your cat into a new one. If plans change, you can swap dates or increase visits with notice.
Payments and bookings work through straightforward channels and the sitter confirms times and any special requests. That keeps communication simple and reduces last-minute stress for you and your cat.
