Brighton Cat Sitting Company

About Us

The Brighton Cat Sitting Company is an established Cat Sitting Service owned by me, Remi. Although new to the Brighton area, The Brighton Cat Sitting Company is an extension of The London Cat Sitting Company, which I established in 2006.    

No longer a cat owner (on account of my dogs who chase them), I have cared for and had cat’s long before my first dog. After my beloved tabby (Tawney) died of old age, I never got another cat due to my plans of relocating back to the UK, where by default I ended up with 2 other dogs.  I have also volunteered here in the UK and USA with various animal shelters, which has included fostering dogs and humanely trapping feral cats in Austin Texas and Los Angeles, Santa Barbara and Ventura California.

My mission (and my cat sitters) is to ensure the well-being of your cats and your homes while you are away, and do it with respect, attentiveness, and loving care. We want you to be comforted by the peace of mind that comes from knowing someone trustworthy, reliable, and compassionate is looking after the cats who are most dear to you. In our own way, we take care of you, as well.

My cat sitters are ALL cat lovers and most have their own cats or have had in the past. Some are full time cat sitters and others are freelancers, retirees, artists, vet nurses, stay at home mums and even Thespians.  Occasionally, I’ve been lucky to have a client or two, offer to help out during busy times.  We are a pet sitting service and  I meet every pet sitter I hire, security vet them and verify their addresses. I only hire people who will be an asset and not a liability. For most part, not even a spotless CRB/DBS check or glowing reference will do. My intuition has served me well all my life.

From my small start as a local cat sitting service in East London I am now proud and excited to be able to offer unparalleled cat sitting and House Sitting to clients throughout East Sussex including Brigton, Hove, Portslade.   

I promise my pet sitters and I will ensure you return to a happy and content cat, or in some cases, a miffed off cat who couldn’t give a hoot who looked after him/her, but happy to see its humans again.

House Sitting

Some of our clients prefer a sitter to live in with their cat. This could be for various reasons such as an elderly or sick cat, an owner does not want to be left alone. Sometimes it’s because caring cat owners can’t live with the thought of their kitty being left alone for a prolonged period. Or they just want the peace of mind knowing not only is the cat being looked after, but also the reassurance that their home is not empty at nights or for a long period.

Don’t have a pet? Our carefully vetted Pet and House Sitters are also able to give your home a lived in look even if you are not a pet owner. Even if you have an alarm system, house sitters are invaluable. If you leave your home to go on vacation, business or for any extended period, your best defence is having an actual person in your home.

If people are in, a burglar targeting your home, will move on to a house that appears empty. While our cat visits enables us to make a few trips to your home per day to feed your cat, collect mail, open curtains, and water and plants which can throw off criminals, that still leaves about 23 hours in the day that your home is vulnerable to intrusion or other catastrophes. A Brighton Cat Sitting Company House Sitter will alleviate your worries.

We are able to keep our House Sitting rates low because our sitters are either retired, are freelancers who work from home or make themselves available a few times a year for a change of scenery, as such, they don’t rely on being a House Sitter for a living. Our House Sitters are available throughout East Sussex, including Brighton, Hove, Eastbourne Portslade, Shoreham, Lewes and beyond. In fact one completed a House Sitting assignment in Southern California this year.
