The litter tray

Do you pay the cat sitter double for the second cat?

I never have any luck with cat sitters it stresses me out so much. For some reason they were both arsed after the last cattery stay and it was only two weeks ago plus the weather is so bad I cancelled their Xmas stay. My neighbour will do the morning. I went onto the cat flat site and the only lady available was charging £40 four four visits that’s just feeding the. In the evening, now she’s come back saying it’s £80 because theirs two! The luxury cat hotel is £100. I regret cancelling it now I just thought I’d try them in their own flat for a change. She needs to know today what do you think?

We do charge for petrol, but not for the first 'booking in' visit.

We pay 20 per visit, with two visits per day, for two cats. Our all inclusive 7 night break including flights was only 325 per person, and the cat sitting cost us 280 Grin Not the cheapest hobby I’ve ever had as they get a posh diet but as we’re childless, we close our eyes and tell ourselves we got off lightly. Our cat sitter does play with our two, and sometimes she stays longer to socialise (watch tv etc), and as she also turns lights off and on and opens and closes curtains, it’s a security feature too. We’re happy as we know her through a rescue, so are confident we can trust her, and a boarding cattery isn’t an option due to their nervousness. Your potential sitter has you over a barrel as you say, and she knows it.

No petrol charges she’s told me she’s staying with family and their road which is a ten minute walk from me.
