Catsitting by Kirst

Caring for your cats in the comfort of their own home.

Welcome to Catsitting by Kirst. A reliable, friendly catsitting service in New Brighton, Wirral, caring for your cats in the comfort of their own home while you’re away or unable to get home to care for them yourself.

Hi! I’m Kirst. Wirral born and bred, I've loved and had cats for over 35 years. I love books, sewing, motorbikes and narrowboats, but more than anything, I adore cats. I live in New Brighton with my husband Russ, our dog Roxy, and two cats Mitty & Mia. I do work 9am-3.30pm Monday to Thursday but work from home 3 days a week, leaving me more time to care for your fur babies. It’s now almost 2 years since I started my little business, and I now have well over 100 furry clients, some of whom have become regular favourites, and bring me so much joy to look after. It's wonderful seeing cats who were unsure of me at first, now come running to greet me and give me head boops and snuggles. So a big THANK YOU to all of you who have trusted me with your furbabies so far!

I offer a pop-in feed, fuss and clean service: clean bowls, fresh food & water, scoop or change litter, clean up any little accidents, dispose of any unwanted little “gifts", play and cuddles if they like it, and tend to your cats as if they were my own. Photos and videos will be provided to keep you updated via Whatsapp, in order to reassure you that your fur babies are being well looked after. And for home security, I will open and close curtains, switch lights on and off and put bins out if it's collection day.

I am DBS checked and fully insured with Protectivity for your peace of mind. I have also completed a Feline Health, Wellbeing & First Aid course. Certificates are available to view at a free meet & greet beforehand to get your cats' approval, discuss their routine, find out about their personalities, likes and dislikes, and discuss any specific needs, including medication. I can administer insulin injections and inhalers if required. If I pass your pusscats’ rigorous testing procedures, you can show me where you keep the food/litter supplies, and any preferred cleaning products. Oh, and the vacuum cleaner!

If you don't have keys ready at the meet & greet, you can drop them off to me in New Brighton, or I can collect when I’m passing, or for a small fee if I have to make a special visit some distance away.

I'll take details of vets, emergency contact, and keep your keys secure, separate from your details, returning them only once you are home, to ensure your cats continue receiving care should you be delayed. I am happy to retain keys for any future impromptu visits.

If your cat falls ill while you are away, I will contact you immediately, and take them to the vet if required. You may wish to leave payment details with your vet in case of emergencies.

Before you leave, please ensure you have sufficient food, litter and poop bags, and medication if needed, for the length of your holiday. I’ll send a reminder checklist approx. one week beforehand.

I aim to respond the same day.

Please check out my reviews from some happy clients below.

We used Kirst for the first time this weekend while we were away. Right from the off we knew we could trust her with our 3 cats, she came round for a meet and greet and was so well prepared, taking notes on everything about the cats, their food and habits etc (and she brought toys which they loved).

While we were away, she sent us daily photos and updates on the cats and even wrote out a Report Card at the end of the visit, detailing what she did every day and what the cats got up to.

The main thing is that all 3 cats were happy and relaxed when we arrived home so we knew they had been very well looked after. Kirst is a gem and we will definitely trust her to care for our cats again next time we go away!

Thank you Kirst.

Emma Ware

Fantastic service and very professional.

Loved the report card at the end, very reassuring to know the cats day to day activities while we were away.

Cats were obviously well looked after.

Fiona Crompton

Highly recommend Catsitting by Kirst, I was apprehensive leaving my girls after not going away for a few years but I had nothing to worry about at all. Kirst sent daily pictures & updates and they were both very happy when we got home, I will never use a cattery again when they can stay at home and be looked after so well! Thanks Kirst.

Kelly Dudleston

I can highly recommend Kirsten, she looked after my furbaby so well for a couple of days. From my very first contact with Kirsten she was so professional, organised and communicated with me before, during and after her catsitting. I got regular updates and photos of her visits and she even left a little report of her visits. I will definitely use her again as the peace of mind made my trip even better.

Looked after my 2 cats while I was away for the weekend. Had a little meet & greet which was nice, very professional, had photos and messages sent daily to see the cats were OK. Would definitely use Kirst again.

Kirsten came to look after Dotty my 12 year old cat who needs medication twice a day. Dotty had a fab time and adores Kirsten. I received pics every day so I knew all was well. I never worried and knew Dotty was in good hands. Thank you so much for looking after her I have another date to book later in the year for you. Kirsten is lovely and would recommend her to anyone who was going away. No stressful kennels for my girl xx

Jenny Doyle

Kirst looked after my girls for the weekend and was absolutely amazing! One of my girls needs an inhaler and it's not always easy to give her this but Kirst did great! Both girls are also raw fed and Kirst was happy feeding them their special diet. Kirst goes the extra mile when doing the litter boxes, keeping things tidy and just generally looking after my girls.

Shana Biesmans

Would definitely recommend Kirst, very professional and caring, our family have a house cat who’s never left the house apart from the back garden she’s very unsociable as she only knows me and my partner, we went on holiday for a week, Kirst was amazing with our cat and tried her best to interact with her, fed, watered and changed the cat litter with daily reports , will definitely use her service again.

A 5* service by Kirsten . I received daily updates and photos sent to my phone . I was so pleased to receive these and to know that Kirsten actually took time to spend with my cats - they are true ferals and not the most affectionate . One of them cannot be stroked at all but Kirsten actually had her on her knee licking licky lix off her hand . As well as feeding them inside the house ,she also went to their outside accommodation and checked that too ,their outdoor dried food topped up and water bowls changed also. So that was something I hadn’t expected . She could have so easily just fed them and left without any interaction . Also she opened and closed the blinds for me and took in the bins. She did over and above of what I ever expected . On coming home there was a daily record of her visits and what the cats were up to ect . I can 100% recommend Kirsten to anyone considering using a cat sitter/ feeder . Thank you so much x

Kirst has been amazing looking after our four furbabies, one of which is diabetic and requires insulin injections. Enjoyed our break away knowing they were in safe hands and Kirst made us feel very reassured. They looked really well and content when we got back. Kirst kept us updated daily with lots of photos and a detailed report of what they had been up to when we got back. Very professional service tailored to your cats needs. Will definitely be booking again, thank you

Rhiannon MacKenzie-Phelan

Kirsten recently looked after our two cats for the first time and from the moment I enquired, the whole experience was brilliant. Quick responses, very professional and put us at ease straight away. Daily pictures provided as well as a daily report for when we got home. Highly recommended and will definitely be using Catsitting by Kirst again in the future. Thank you for looking after our cats like your own

Sarah Jones

Kirsten did a fantastic job when we had a short notice trip booked. She managed to fit us in and was very professional with the explanation of her service, costs etc before we left. She updated us daily with the activities or our cat including pictures of when she visited and also completed a written report of what she had done whilst looking after her including food consumption, water etc.. Kirsten was great, professional, very caring and dedicated, the service she provides is fantastic and competitively priced. I would highly recommend her and will be using her again.
