Once you get in touch, we will discuss the details of your trip and arrange for your sitter to do a home visit.
Your sitter’s mission at this meeting is to meet your cats, discuss your requirements, and answer any questions.
Your sitter will visit once or more times a day to feed, play, and care for your cats while you’re away.
You will receive photo and video updates on every visit, so you can relax knowing your sitter has it under control.
Currently, we’re local to Reigate and anything within a 30-minute drive of it. Which means we currently cover: Reigate, Redhill, Bletchingley, Caterham, Coulsdon, Tadworth, Leatherhead, Dorking, Horley, and Gatwick. If you’re unsure if we can cover your area, please get in touch.
Our service charge per visit is £15. Most households request two visits a day for feeding and companionship, and to deter security risks in the dark winter months, when burglaries increase. We have a calculator below that gives you rates based on the number of daily visits and the number of days. You can also visit our pricing page.
The first step is always the hardest one. This is true for our clients, and it was true for us as well. Trusting a stranger with your home and your precious kitties can be nerve-wracking.
All of Wave and Whisker’s sitters are vetted and checked by the DBS to the highest standard, and this certification is renewed every year. The sitters are also trained in cat care and advanced first aid by a qualified body, and are cat guardians themselves. Wave and Whisker is fully insured, too.
Our process aims to establish trust and reward it with the best care in the market for your pets whilst you’re away. Meeting your sitter is an essential part of the process, as it allows them to meet your cats, familiarise themselves with the house and where everything is, and establish a tailored care plan that fits the cats’ needs.
The sitters are GPS tracked for your peace of mind. You will also receive photo and video updates on every visit, which helps you relax knowing your cat is being cared for and your home is being guarded.
We need to visit at least once a day to check in on the cats, either in the morning or in the afternoon. Our preferred and, thus far, most popular package is twice daily visits, one in the morning and one in the afternoon.
When and how often we visit are flexible, which is why it’s vital for you to meet your sitter so they can develop a tailored care plan for your cats that you’re happy with.
It varies depending on the cat’s personality and their age. Young and brave kittens want lots of attention and are very happy to play, while more senior cats will enjoy the occasional cuddle and head/chin scratchies, but may soon want to keep to themselves and it’s important for us to respect that. After all, it’s their home. We stay as long as we can to ensure that they have everything they need, that they’re healthy and don’t feel lonely, as well as providing you with the photo updates.
