Bearsden · Way better than the freezing outdoor pens
average rating is 5 out of 5
Even the so-called 'luxury' catteries we’ve tried out in the countryside get absolutely freezing during a Scottish winter. Leaving our 14-year-old senior cat in a warm, real home environment right here in Bearsden was such a relief. She had her own sunny window seat and the sitter was fantastic with her daily medication. We won't use anyone else now.

Newton Mearns · No more stressful trips down the M77!
average rating is 5 out of 5
We used to drive 40 minutes out to a cattery in Ayrshire every time we went abroad. Our British Shorthair hated the car, and to be honest, the metal pens were depressing. Switching to a vetted sitter in Giffnock was a revelation. She stayed in her own familiar environment, and the sitter even brought our bins in and sorted the post. A truly premium service that we will definitely use again.

Hyndland · No more stressful drives on the M8!
average rating is 4 out of 5
We usually use a cattery out near Paisley, but the drive on the M8 with a crying cat is a total nightmare. Finding a vetted sitter right here in the West End was brilliant. She handled our tricky tenement buzzer with no issues, kept the heating on so our boy didn't freeze, and sent WhatsApp videos every day. Worth every penny to avoid the traffic.

Merchant City · Handled our apartment security perfectly
average rating is 4 out of 5
Living in a secure building in the Merchant City, I'm always wary of handing out fobs to strangers. The sitter from Cattery 001 was fully vetted and so professional during the meet & greet. My indoor Ragdoll loved the one-on-one attention, and I loved getting the video diaries while I was away on business. A true premium alternative to a cage.

Finnieston · A lifesaver after Rover sitter let us down
average rating is 5 out of 5
We booked someone off Rover, and they cancelled on us 48 hours before our flight from Glasgow Airport. Absolute panic. Cattery 001 stepped in immediately. Our sitter was fully DBS-checked, super professional, and had no problem dealing with our tricky tenement storm doors. The daily WhatsApp videos of our cat purring on the sofa gave us total peace of mind.

Dennistoun · Kept our draughty tenement warm!
average rating is 5 out of 5
I always worry about leaving our cat in our Dennistoun flat during winter because it gets freezing if the heating isn't ticked over. The sitter was brilliant—she adjusted the thermostat for us, made sure our anxious rescue cat had plenty of lap time, and sent updates every single day. So much better than a cold outdoor cattery pen.

Kelvinside · Handled his thyroid medication like a pro
average rating is 4 out of 5
Barnaby is 15 and needs pills twice a day. Our local vet offered boarding, but it’s just a clinical cage in the back room and he gets so depressed. Finding a dedicated home sitter in the West End who is actually comfortable giving medication was amazing. She sent us timestamps of when he took his meds and photos of him sleeping in his favourite sunspot. Unbeatable care.

Dr. E. Henderson, Kelvinside
Shawlands · A massive step up from the generic pet apps
average rating is 5 out of 5
We booked a student off a popular pet app last year who barely stayed five minutes each visit. Cattery 001 is on a completely different level. Our sitter actually sat on the sofa in our Shawlands flat and played with our Bengal for ages. Completely professional, DBS-checked, and she even brought our Amazon parcels in! Finally, a service you can trust.

Ewan M., Shawlands
Glasgow · Handled thyroid medication with no issues
average rating is 5 out of 5
My cat needs a pill twice a day for her thyroid, and she is not easy to pill! The sitter was confident and managed to give her the medication without any stress. It was obvious she had experience with cats. I will definitely be using this service again for my next work trip.
