VIPs popular, hassle-free cat sitting service keeps your cat in the manner s/he is accustomed to whilst you’re away.
Q.How does the cat sitting service work?
A.It’s easy!
We arrange a convenient time to come and see you and your VIP before you go away for the first time. Together, we fill in a VIP Care Plan which covers everything we’ll need to know in order to give you and your cat the best possible service. Then, all that’s left for you to do is sit back, relax and leave the rest to us.
"VIP don’t just provide the basics of making sure the cats have food, water and clean litter trays, they give them 100% loving attention..."
Next time you need us you simply let us know the dates. We’ll confirm the booking in writing and find out if there are any changes. It’s as simple as that!

No more games of hide and seek when the cat carrier makes an appearance
No more need for the gardening gloves to get your cat in the carrier

Questions & Answers
Q.Why choose Very Important Paws’ cat sitting service?
A.Because we’re the best your cat can get!
The main reason our customers come back, time and time again is due to our meticulous customer service and knowledge of what keeps your cat happy while you’re away.
Not only do we know how to look after your cat’s basic need to be fed and watered, we aim to concentrate on your cat’s emotional and psychological wellbeing to ensure they are kept stress free, calm and relaxed while you’re away.
Q.What do we offer?
A.Whatever you need!
Some customers just need a reliable ‘pop in’ feeding service because either their cats have access to outside and may not be around we when call, or are a bit unsociable and prefer to be left alone.
Others have cats that really miss human contact and can’t wait for us to arrive so we can spoil them with time, love and affection. We look after some great characters – some like to be groomed, hand-fed and played with while others love us to get comfy in their favourite chair, jump up and be gently stroked to sleep.
We are genuinely humbled to serve many, many happy and loyal catsitting customers that wouldn’t leave their cats with anyone else.
A big ‘thank you’ to all of you for choosing VIP!
Testimonials
'Finding VIP has been a godsend for us. We know we can leave our beloved pussy cats in their capable hands, often at short notice, safe in the knowledge of how well they will be looked after. Claire really goes that extra mile and even managed to gain the trust of the most timid of our cats who usually doesn't come out for anyone but his mum!'
Leanne Russell, cats Lenny and Milo
'Our cats are part of the family, so leaving them when we go on holiday or even away for a weekend is always difficult. But VIP has made that so much easier for us; I no longer feel guilty for leaving them at home alone with just a neighbour popping in to top up their food bowls! VIP don’t just provide the basics of making sure the cats have food, water and clean litter trays, they give them 100% loving attention during their visits, including grooming, playing with their toys and even taking care of their medical needs. As well as receiving picture texts and updates on how they are doing while we are away, which is so reassuring, it’s when we get home that I really know how well the cats have been looked after. They are happy, relaxed and almost seem disappointed that the nice lady won’t be back for a while! VIP deserve the highest accolade possible and we would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone who has the best interests of their loved pets at heart.'
