Thank you, Omur! I'm glad you're happy with the service 😊 Heather BarcroftMay 6, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I highly recommend Patchwork Petcare. Catriona is a fab pet carer and my cat loves her. I get daily updates with videos showing a happy kitty playing and engaging with Catriona. Catriona takes the time to let me know if my fur baby is eating well and I have no doubt that she would let me know of any concerns. All instructions are followed to the letter. The booking process is easy. Very happy customer.

She spent time asking questions and getting to know Kula. She gave an update after every visit , sometimes with a photo. I am so pleased we found her . Will definitely keep using Patchwork Petcare and fully recommend the service which is fantastic .

Thank you so much for your lovely review, Elaine. I look forward to seeing sweet Kula again soon! ❤️ K ClapsonJanuary 5, 2024Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Cat cared for our older cat in his own home while we were away. She visited daily, took good care of him and sent a regular written update and video so that we knew that he was doing well. Cat provides an excellent service and our cat loves her. I would definitely recommend her very professional and friendly services.

Nathan WesternDecember 30, 2023Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Cat is the best pet sitter we have ever used. She provides a thoughtful and loving service, and attentively follows care instructions for our cats and snake. We have experienced her going above and beyond to make sure our pets get the service we have booked, and her communication and updates are brilliant. I can't recommend Patchwork Petcare highly enough!

Thank you so much for your lovely review. Your guys were an absolute pleasure to visit, and I can't wait to see them again 😁 NimsDecember 30, 2023Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Cat is honestly amazing! They looked after our two cats and snake over Christmas and we couldn't have asked for better service! We were updated every visit with pictures too. This is the best care our pets have ever had while we've been away and I cannot recommend enough

Thank you so much for sharing your experience 😁 I'm so glad you were pleased with everything, and I hope to see your team again soon! Lana SteelJuly 29, 2023Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We use Patchwork Petcare as our go-to any time we are needing a hand with our bunnies. 2023 has been particularly busy for us and Catriona has been available for our rabbits offering security, flexibility and the reliability that we have needed during this time. I am quite particular about how my rabbits are cared for and I follow all welfare guidelines which are continually developing. Patchwork Petcare are happy to follow the specific guidelines that I set and show a good understanding of the pet. Rabbits care can be misunderstood and I appreciate Catriona's patience with my instructions and the care and attention to detail offered. The software system that Patchwork Petcare use is fab and easy to use, you can input all the details you think are necessary, view your schedule and invoices as well as communicate via the website. I had been let down in the past by a pet sitter who did not communicate with me when I felt it was needed and Catriona is very on the ball with communication and relaying relevant information (without bothering you on your holiday). We love to get daily updates and pictures of our bouncy bunnies and know that they are happy and comfortable. It is unusual having someone come to your home when you are not in, but I trust Catriona completely with my home and most importantly my adored pets!

Why Choose Patchwork Petcare?

Custom services for unique pets
Patchwork Petcare’s services are customised to suit the changing needs of your pet. I understand that living with pets with unique needs can be challenging, but also, so incredibly rewarding!
One size does not fit all – we all know this too well – and the stress of finding someone suitable to care for your pet can be frustrating and overwhelming.
This is where I come in.
Different is what I do, and I don’t charge extra for large households or special requirements!

Safety & security above all
I take safety and security very seriously, not just for your pets, but also your property, the public and myself. I am:
- Enhanced DBS checked
- Advanced Pet First Aid Trained
- Insured with Petplan Sanctuary
- Qualified and experienced in Animal Management
and follow detailed, professional safety practices to ensure the same exceptional care for every client.

Committed to advancing standards
Our understanding of animal welfare is always evolving, and I prioritise evolving my practices along with it, by:
- Using methods that are rooted in science, and maintaining ethical practices that prioritise the needs of animals.
- Continuously building on my skills, education and understanding of animal care, welfare and behaviour.
- Advocating for holistic care practices, improving welfare standards, and helping owners to give their pets the rich and fulfilling lives they deserve.

Environmentally conscious
We love this planet, and we want to do our bit to keep it healthy! We’re always looking for new ways to improve, and some of the things we are doing right now are:
- paper free processing – 100% digital data storage and booking process.
- minimising travel for dog walks (many of us have beautiful green spaces available on our door!)
- using environmentally friendly pet care supplies.
- supporting pet parents to find more sustainable, natural and healthy pet care options available to them

Regular & detailed visit reports
When many of my clients first come to me, they are concerned about leaving their pet and not knowing what they’re up to or how they’re getting on. I feel this way too!
I address this issue directly, with comprehensive visit reports every time I visit your pet.
I will give you as much information, and as many cute pictures or videos as you like for each visit.
You can also get notifications and check your reports via the free mobile app, which also has GPS tracking, so you can see where your pups have been on their adventures!
