Pets lunches, cat sitting (Livingston West Lothian and surrounding areas), are a competent and experienced cat sitting service offering an alternative to boarding or a cattery visiting your pet in the comfort and refuge of their own home. Thereโs no place like home. My cat sitting business is set up from what is in my heart.
My name is Jillian as an animal lover and pet owner I understand how difficult it can be and the worry you have when leaving your pet when you are not at home for any reason and if you would rather not put your pet in boarding.
Pets lunches are small, dedicated, friendly, reliable, trusted pet minding service the service is personalised and tailored to meet your pets needs so your pet can enjoy one to one visits. The owner deals direct with me, as I visit personally the pet builds up a good relationship and rapport having a friendly face checking in on them which can help put an elderly/timid cat at ease, visits are flexible. I keep myself as the sole employee this ensuring your pet gets the best care and attention it deserves while you are away, I look on them as my extended furry family. I look after your pets with kindness and compassion. Pets lunches provide 1st class high quality pet & customer satisfaction . You also have the peace of mind someone is checking your home is ok.
As well as cats the other companion animals I can look after include rabbits, guinea pigs, gerbils, hamsters, degus, chincillas.
Pets lunches are based in Livingston, West Lothian. I've been a pet owner for as long as I can remember mainly with cats I have many years experience with them (I've had 4 cats before and at the moment I have 1 cat & 2 dogs). I've also kept a rabbit, guinea pig & 'gerbil sat' before. As a 'pawrent' I understand how hard it can be to leave your pet when you go on holiday, a long weekend, business trip or away from home for any reason even working a long day or have work commitments a pop in home visit to check on your pet and provide your pet with a bit company could be the key. They are part of the family and if you would rather leave your pet in the comfort of their own home rather than having a huffy kitty in boarding. Leaving your pet at home is less stressful for both you & your pet's they have the usual routine & their own bed. I'd look after your pet as if it were my own I look on them as an extension to my furry family. I give medication and have broad knowledge of cats and their aliments from diabetes, cardiomyopathy, hyperthyroidism to name a few.
Short term and longer term bookings catered for, regular customers will receive periodic discounts.
I have also set up groups on Facebook called Lost and found cats Livingston West Lothian and Cat Lovers, Livingston, West Lothian areas.
