Top 5 Health & Safety Tips for Cat Sitting This Summer in North Dublin

Summer in North Dublin can be glorious. The long days, blue skies (when we’re lucky!), and warm breezes are a welcome change from the colder months. But while we’re enjoying the sunshine, our cats might not be having quite as much fun.

Cats may be cool customers most of the time, but they’re sensitive to heat and routine changes. As professional cat sitters at Pet Angel Sitters, we’ve seen how small changes in weather or environment can affect a cat’s comfort and health—especially when their owners are away on holiday.

So whether you’re heading off for a few days or just want to keep your cat safe during a heatwave, here are our top 5 health and safety tips for cat sitting this summer.

1. Keep Water Fresh and Plentiful

Hydration is critical for cats in hot weather. Unlike dogs, cats often don’t drink as much water as they should, making them more prone to dehydration.

When we’re cat sitting, we always:

  • Refresh water bowls every visit

  • Add an extra bowl in another spot to encourage drinking

  • Consider using a cat water fountain if the cat likes running water

  • Check that bowls aren’t sitting in direct sunlight (which can make water warm and unappealing)

At home, you can help by offering wet food in addition to dry kibble, which increases your cat’s fluid intake. A small change like this can make a big difference during warm spells.


2. Block Direct Sunlight During Peak Heat

Many cats love to bask in the sun—but during the summer, sunbeams can quickly turn windowsills into mini saunas. Overheating is a real risk, particularly for long-haired breeds or older cats.

Simple ways to keep your cat cool:

  • Draw curtains or blinds during the hottest part of the day

  • Move your cat’s bed away from sunny spots

  • Leave windows open (if secure) to allow airflow, but never leave a cat unattended with an open window they could escape through

When we’re visiting cats in summer, we keep an eye on the temperature in the home and adjust blinds or windows as needed to keep things comfortable.


3. Maintain a Regular Routine

Cats are creatures of habit. Changes in schedule can cause stress—especially when their humans go away on holiday. Add summer’s longer daylight hours, extra visitors, or noisy events, and some cats can become anxious.

Here’s what helps:

  • Feed at the same times each day

  • Keep litter box cleaning on schedule

  • Play and interact as usual to provide reassurance

  • Avoid sudden changes to food or litter brands while you’re away

At Pet Angel Sitters, we always ask cat owners about their cat’s usual routine during our free meet & greet. The more we can replicate their normal day, the happier and more settled your cat will be.


4. Be Mindful of Open Windows

Summer breezes are lovely—but open windows pose a serious risk for cats. Cats are curious and may attempt to squeeze through gaps or leap after a bird or insect.

Important safety measures:

  • Never leave tilt windows open unsupervised

  • Use secure screens if windows must be open

  • Check windows are firmly closed before leaving the house

  • Keep balcony doors shut or screened

We’ve seen too many close calls. As cat sitters, we always double-check windows and doors during every visit. A secure home is a safe home for your furry friend.


5. Watch for Signs of Heat Stress

Even indoor cats can suffer from heat stress. Symptoms to watch out for include:

  • Excessive panting

  • Lethargy or weakness

  • Drooling

  • Vomiting

  • Bright red tongue or gums

If you spot any of these signs, seek veterinary help immediately.

During hot weather, we monitor each cat for any changes in behaviour or health. A cat hiding more than usual or refusing food might be overheated—or stressed by the heat. Early detection is key to avoiding serious problems.


Bonus Tip: Keep Play Sessions Calm

Summer’s heat can drain your cat’s energy faster than usual. Keep interactive play gentle during hot days. Wand toys and puzzle feeders are excellent low-effort options to keep your cat stimulated without overexertion.


Why Professional Cat Sitting Matters in Summer

Many people think cats are independent enough to be left alone for several days. But in summer, small issues can escalate quickly—especially if a cat gets dehydrated, overheated, or stressed by routine changes.

Hiring a professional cat sitter offers:

  • Daily check-ins to ensure your cat’s health and comfort

  • Fresh water and food every day

  • Litter box maintenance to prevent odours and mess

  • Security checks for your home

  • Peace of mind for you while you’re away

At Pet Angel Sitters, our Garda-vetted team provides personalised cat care, daily photo updates, and the reassurance that your cat is safe and happy—even in the summer heat.


Enjoy Summer While Keeping Your Cat Safe!

Summer should be a time of relaxation—for both you and your cat. With a few simple precautions and the help of a trusted cat sitter, you can enjoy your holiday or day trips without worrying about your feline friend.
