Yes. While Fuller Cat Care specialises in feline care, we regularly look after multi-cat homes as well as households with other pets such as small animals.
We began in general animal care, so we have extensive experience looking after a variety of pets. We are fully insured to do so, and many of our regular clients rely on us to care for their whole household while they are away.
This allows us to maintain familiar routines for all pets in the home, helping to reduce stress and ensure consistent care across the board.
-
Your cat's health and wellbeing are our highest priorities. All clients are asked to complete a veterinary release form before services begin, allowing us to act quickly should an emergency arise.
If your cat becomes unwell, we will contact you as soon as possible. If you cannot be reached and urgent veterinary care is required, we are authorised to seek treatment on your behalf and will keep you informed every step of the way.

How much a cat sitter in Dorset costs can vary depending on the length of the visit, the level of care required and the individual cat sitter.
At Fuller Cat Care, cat sitting visits start from £20 per visit, with a 1-hour minimum booking slot. This allows plenty of time to care for your cat properly, rather than rushing through a quick check-in.
Every visit can be tailored to your cat's individual routine and may include feeding, fresh water, litter tray care, playtime, grooming, medication where appropriate, and plenty of attention and companionship.
As a professional cat sitter in Wimborne, Poole, Bournemouth and surrounding Dorset areas, I focus on providing personalised, reliable and compassionate care in your cat's own home. Keeping cats in their familiar surroundings can help minimise the stress and disruption that can come with being away from home.
Before your first booking, you'll receive a complimentary meet & greet, giving us the opportunity to discuss your cat's routine, personality, care requirements and anything else they need while you're away.

How often your cat should be visited while you're away depends on their age, personality, health, routine and individual needs.
For most cats, at least one visit per day is recommended. Cats are independent, but they still need fresh food and water, a clean litter tray, interaction and someone to check that they are safe and well.
Some cats may benefit from two visits a day, particularly kittens, elderly cats, cats who need medication or cats who are particularly sociable and enjoy regular companionship. If your cat is used to having lots of human interaction, longer or more frequent visits may also be appropriate.
At Fuller Cat Care, I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. As a professional cat sitter in Bournemouth and surrounding Dorset areas, I tailor visits around your cat's normal routine wherever possible, helping them feel comfortable and settled while you're away.
During your complimentary meet & greet, we'll discuss your cat's usual routine, feeding schedule, personality and any specific care requirements. Together, we can decide how frequently they should be visited to ensure they receive the right level of care and attention.

For many cats, cat sitting at home can be a less stressful alternative to staying in a cattery, particularly for cats who are nervous, territorial, unwell/on medication or happiest in familiar surroundings. However, every cat is different, so the best option depends on their individual personality and needs.
With professional cat sitting in your own home, your cat can stay in their familiar environment, keeping their usual food, routine, sleeping spots and surroundings while you're away. They don't have to travel, adjust to an unfamiliar environment or share space with other cats.
Home visits can also be particularly beneficial for cats who are elderly, anxious, have specific dietary requirements or need medication. Your cat receives one-to-one attention tailored around their normal routine.
A cattery can still be a suitable choice for some cats, especially those who are confident and comfortable in new environments. The important thing is choosing the option that is right for your individual cat.
At Fuller Cat Care, I provide professional in-home cat sitting in Wimborne, Poole, Bournemouth and surrounding Dorset areas, allowing your cat to remain safely and comfortably at home while you are away.
Rather than simply providing food and water, I take the time to maintain your cat's routine, provide companionship and give you peace of mind with every visit.
If you're considering cat sitting instead of a cattery, get in touch to arrange a complimentary meet & greet.

Absolutely! Fuller Cat Care looks after indoor cats. In fact, indoor cats can benefit greatly from professional cat sitting while their owners are away.
Although indoor cats don't go outside, they still need regular care, attention and stimulation. During each visit, I can provide fresh food and water, clean litter trays, playtime, enrichment, grooming and plenty of companionship, depending on your cat's usual routine and preferences.
Keeping an indoor cat's environment clean, comfortable and interesting is especially important while you're away. I'll follow their normal routine as closely as possible, helping them feel secure in their own familiar surroundings.
Whether your cat is a playful kitten, a relaxed older cat or a nervous indoor-only cat, cat sitting at home means they can stay in the environment they know and love without the disruption of travelling to a cattery.
Every cat is different, which is why I tailor my visits around their individual personality, routine and care requirements.

Yes, Fuller Cat Care can administer medication where appropriate, provided clear instructions have been given by you and the medication can be safely administered during a home visit.
This can include routine medications such as tablets, capsules, oral liquids or other treatments that your cat is comfortable receiving. I will follow your instructions carefully and keep their normal medication routine as consistent as possible while you're away.
Every cat reacts differently to medication, so we'll discuss your cat's individual requirements during the complimentary meet & greet. This gives you the opportunity to demonstrate how their medication is normally given and lets us make sure I can provide the care they need confidently and safely.
If your cat is particularly difficult to medicate, requires injections or needs more complex medical care, please let me know when enquiring so we can discuss their requirements and whether Fuller Cat Care is the right service for them.
As a professional cat sitter in Bournemouth and surrounding Dorset areas, my priority is always your cat's safety, comfort and wellbeing.

Yes! Fuller Cat Care provides professional holiday cat sitting in Bournemouth and surrounding Dorset areas, allowing your cat to stay comfortably in their own home while you're away.
Whether you're going away for a weekend, taking a family holiday or travelling for a longer trip, I can visit your cat according to their individual routine and care requirements.
Holiday cat sitting can include:
Fresh food and water
Litter tray cleaning
Playtime and enrichment
Grooming where appropriate
Medication where agreed
Plenty of fuss, attention and companionship
Checking that your cat is safe and well
Keeping their usual routine as consistent as possible
One of the biggest benefits of cat sitting at home instead of using a cattery is that your cat doesn't need to travel or adjust to an unfamiliar environment. They can remain in their own surroundings, with their familiar smells, sleeping spots and daily routine.
Before your holiday, we'll arrange a complimentary meet & greet where we can discuss your cat's routine, personality and specific requirements. I'll make sure I have everything I need to provide reliable, personalised care while you're away.

Before your first booking with Fuller Cat Care, we'll arrange a complimentary Meet & Greet at your home. This is a relaxed opportunity for us to meet, get to know your cat and discuss exactly what they need while you're away.
During the Meet & Greet, we'll go through:
Your cat's usual feeding and daily routine
Their personality, likes and dislikes
Where their food, litter, toys and other essentials are kept
Litter tray and hygiene requirements
Any medication or additional care they need
Your home access and security arrangements
Emergency contacts and your vet details
How you'd like to receive updates while you're away
Most importantly, it's a chance for your cat to meet me in their own familiar environment. I can take the time to let them approach me at their own pace, particularly if they're nervous or cautious around new people.
I'll also answer any questions you may have, so you can feel completely comfortable before you go away.
The Meet & Greet is completely complimentary and carries no obligation to book. My priority is making sure we're a good fit and that I have everything I need to provide safe, personalised and reliable care for your cat.

I recommend booking your cat sitter as early as possible, particularly if you're travelling during school holidays, Christmas, Easter or other peak holiday periods.
For regular periods outside of peak times, I may be able to accommodate shorter-notice bookings depending on my availability. However, booking in advance gives you the best chance of securing your preferred dates and allows plenty of time to arrange your complimentary Meet & Greet.
For new clients, I recommend getting in touch as soon as you know your travel dates. This gives us time to meet, discuss your cat's routine and make sure everything is organised before you go away.
If your holiday is coming up soon, don't worry — it's still worth getting in touch! I'll always do my best to accommodate your dates where availability allows.
