Preparing Your Cat For Holiday Care
Reading time: 4 min read

A practical guide to helping your cat stay calm, comfortable and happily in routine while you are away.
Keep their routine exactly the same
Cats are creatures of habit, and the kindest thing you can do before a trip is keep everything familiar. Note down their feeding times, favourite spots, litter routine and any little quirks — the more detail your sitter has, the more settled your cat will be.
A good cat sitter will follow your cat's normal day to the letter: same food, same bowl, same warm windowsill. That familiarity is what keeps stress low while you are away.
The value of a meet and greet
Always arrange a meet and greet before your first booking. It lets your cat meet their carer on home ground, with you present, and gives you the chance to walk through the routine together.
At Luxe Pawlace this first visit is free and without obligation — it is simply how good care should begin.
Stay connected while you travel
Photo updates after every visit make all the difference. Seeing your cat relaxed, fed and playing lets you actually enjoy your time away — and it is something we include as standard.
