Searching for a Professional Cat Sitter in and Around Hornchurch and Upminster?

Welcome to The Cat Butler: Your Local Experts in Hornchurch & Upminster!

When you choose The Cat Butler to look after your feline friend, you can officially say goodbye to those stressful trips to the cattery! There’s no need to spend your valuable holiday time on long car journeys that can be quite upsetting for your cat. Plus, by staying home, your cat won’t need extra vaccinations or be exposed to pesky hitchhikers like fleas, ticks, or external illnesses.

Home is Where the Heart Is

We offer a dedicated in-home service so your cat doesn’t have to step a single paw outside. As every cat lover knows, our furry friends are creatures of habit who adore their own territory. We don’t just save you the drive; we save your kitty the stress of leaving their peaceful sanctuary. We’ll care for them right where they are happiest: in the comfort of their own home!

Trusted Sitters in Your Neighborhood

By choosing a Hornchurch and Upminster cat sitter, you’re getting a fully vetted, DBS-checked and insured professional who is truly passionate about cats. You can rely on us to give your friend the very best care. 

Our service is strictly for cats. We don’t visit dogs, because we know that arriving smelling like a "canine stranger" can be unsettling for some sensitive felines. All of our sitters are cat owners themselves, so you know your pet is being looked after by a genuine kindred spirit while you’re away.

A Service That Gives You More

We do so much more than just "check in" and fill a bowl. We’re here to:

• Provide companionship: We offer plenty of fuss, chin rubs, and playtime (if they’re in the mood!).
• Respect boundaries: If your cat is shy with strangers, we’ll give them space and reassure them from a distance.
• Expert Care: Our sitters are pet first aid trained and happy to administer medications or injections.
• Keep things tidy: We’ll clean bowls, tidy litter trays, and clear up any "mischievous antics" so your home remains an oasis.

We offer a completely tailored service with visits once or twice a day, 365 days a year, and we never charge extra for weekends. We pride ourselves on being flexible, even at short notice!

Total Peace of Mind

While we’re looking after the cat, we’ll look after your home, too! Our complimentary home care and security service includes:

• Opening/closing curtains and rotating lights to keep your home looking lived-in.
• Bringing in post and deliveries.
• Putting out your bins and recycling.
• Watering your indoor and patio plants.

We’ll keep you updated via WhatsApp, text, or email with photos and videos of your cat having a blast. For extra security, all our visits are GPS tracked, so you know exactly when your Cat Butler arrived. If your travel plans get delayed, don't worry; just let us know, and we’ll continue our visits until you’re safely back through the door.

Ready to Book?

If you’re heading away soon, getting started is easy! Simply contact Clare Rowley, your local Hornchurch and Upminster Cat Butler, for a friendly consultation. 

We’ll take the time to learn all about your cat’s history, personality, and favorite treats to create the "purr-fect" care package. We’ll then arrange a meet-and-greet so you and your kitty can get to know your sitter and show us where the supplies are kept.
