Your Cat Stays Home — Where They're Happiest

Most cat owners know that their feline friends are creatures of habit. Cats thrive in familiar surroundings, and the idea of packing them off to a cattery can be stressful for everyone involved. That's why Julia offers a home visiting service that lets your cat stay exactly where they feel most comfortable — curled up on their favourite chair, in their own home.

Whether you're heading off on a weekend break or away for a longer holiday, Julia will pop in once or twice a day to make sure your cat has everything they need. She'll put down fresh food and water, clean out the litter tray, and spend some quality time giving your cat the attention and fuss they're used to. If your cat is the independent type who prefers their own company, Julia will respect that too — she understands that every cat has their own personality.

Julia also keeps an eye on your home while you're away. She'll rotate the curtains, bring in any post, and make sure everything looks lived-in and secure. It's one less thing to worry about when you're trying to relax on holiday. She'll happily send you a photo or message to let you know how your cat is getting on, so you can enjoy your time away with real peace of mind.

As with all Boonies Paws services, Julia is fully insured and police checked. She covers Brentwood, Shenfield, Hutton, Ingrave, Herongate, Pilgrims Hatch, West Hordon and other nearby areas. If you'd like to arrange cat sitting with Julia, just get in touch to have a chat about what your cat needs.
