Why cats love it here
A quiet house, not a cattery
We keep things small on purpose. Two guests, one home, and all the time in the world for them.
Their own villa
A cosy den to settle in, not a sofa to hide under. Garden time comes once they're relaxed.
1-on-1 care
Play, brushing and chin scratches every day, always at your cat's pace.
Daily updates
Photos each day (and a little happiness note) so you can relax on your trip.
The villas
A quiet cat room, with a private villa for each guest
Guests stay in a quiet, gated room in our home, shared with at most one other guest. Inside is a private 1.8m villa with a covered bed, which many cats love as a safe den while they settle. You choose: villa door open for them to come and go, the villa as their bed at night, or no villa at all. Most cats hide for a day or two in a new place, so we make their bed and blanket from home the snuggest spot in the room. Once they’re confident, they join us in the house and netted garden.
- A private villa for each family, never shared
- 1.8m multi-level Somerzby villa with shelves and ramps
- Soft bedding and a hideaway box for shy cats
- Scratching posts and climbing spots
- Gentle window light and garden views
- Cats from different households always stay separate

A day at Meow Minders
Gentle, predictable days
Cats settle when the day looks the same. Here's how ours usually goes.
Morning
Breakfast, fresh water and a full litter clean.
Mid-morning
Sunbathing by the window with a garden view.
Midday
Play, wand games and a gentle brush.
Afternoon
A long, undisturbed nap in their cosy bed.
Evening
Dinner, served the way they have it at home.
Night
Cuddles, chin scratches and your daily photo update.
Garden time
Fresh air, safely netted
Our garden and deck are fully netted and escape-proof. Guests enjoy supervised sunshine and fresh air only when they're relaxed and you're happy for them to go out. Cats from the same family can play together; cats from different families never mix.

What our guests' humans say
Kind words
Google review
“This was the first time we had to leave our cat Hugo in care and we were very anxious about how he would cope... When we stumbled across Fahad and his family we were ecstatic! An actual house and backyard for our boy to roam in. We couldn't stand the thought of having Hugo in a cage for all this time... The host family are a lovely, cat loving family and provided such a calm and quiet environment for our cat. We couldn't recommend this service more highly.”

“We left our cat Luna here while we moved house and I'm so glad we did. They were incredibly accommodating with my very last minute booking request, which took a huge weight off our shoulders during a hectic week. The set up is fantastic and you can tell they genuinely care about the cats in their care. Luna is usually very skittish and doesn't warm up to people easily, so I was honestly amazed that she came out of her shell and was so comfortable with them. Knowing she was happy made the whole moving process so much less stressful. The photos and updates were also very much appreciated! Such a lovely business with caring people. I wouldn't hesitate to leave Luna here again and will absolutely be back if she ever needs somewhere to stay. Highly recommend!”

“I left my cat Milo with Fahad for three weeks while I was overseas, and the care he received was outstanding. Fahad treated Milo like his own… Fahad kept me updated with photos and videos throughout, and it was clear Milo felt completely at home and happy with Fahad and his lovely family. I had total peace of mind knowing Milo was in such caring hands. Highly recommend Meow Minders.”

“Left our cat Leo and it was the best decision we made. Truly a great place for your pet to stay if you're travelling. Received constant updates daily and from the looks of it he was having a blast... Highly Highly recommend for anyone travelling far. Amazing experience.”
