My Promise
You travel. A lot. And every time, the same question follows you to the airport: who's really looking after my cat?

Not a stranger with a spare key. Not a noisy boarding cage. Someone who knows its name, its habits, even the exact spot behind its ear it loves scratched.

That's the entire reason I started The Velvet Nest.

Every Visit Includes

What good care actually looks like

  • Fresh food & water, served its way
  • Litter box cleaned & refreshed
  • Playtime & enrichment tailored to its personality
  • Health check: eating, drinking, behaviour & mood
  • Daily medication for chronic conditions, such as asthma, included as standard
  • Brushing & nail trimming, on request
  • General home care while you're away
  • A WhatsApp photo update after every visit

My Approach

Three things I never compromise on

Cats, only.

Every visit, every protocol, every habit I track is built entirely around feline behaviour. It's not a side service. It's the only thing I do.

Your cat stays home.

No transport, no carrier, no unfamiliar cage. Your cat keeps its territory, its scent, its favourite windowsill. I'm simply the one who comes over.

ACACED certified.

I hold the ACACED, the official French Ministry of Agriculture diploma for domestic animal care. Very few cat sitters in Dubai can say the same.

My Story

Born from love.
Built for them.

I'm Ségolène. Years ago I took in Pixel, a terrified three-month-old kitten found alone on the street, and spent seven years earning his full trust. He's the reason I left a career in finance and trained for the ACACED, the official French diploma for domestic animal care. The Velvet Nest is built around exactly the kind of patient, attentive care he taught me to give.

How It Works

Three steps, no surprises

Meet & Greet

A relaxed introduction in your home. I'll meet your cat and note its food, habits and quirks. AED 20, deducted from your first booking if we move forward.

A tailored care plan

Feeding, play, litter, medication if needed: all built around its routine, never a generic checklist.

Daily updates

A photo and a few lines on WhatsApp after every visit. You'll always know your cat has eaten, is calm, and a little missed.

Questions

Before you book

You'll get a WhatsApp update from me after every visit: a photo and a short note on appetite, mood and litter. No guessing, no waiting until you land.

Routine, chronic treatment, like asthma medication, is included in every visit at no extra charge. For anything else, such as a new prescription, a contagious condition or post-op care, I'll set up a tailored protocol and pricing with you at the Meet & Greet, with protective gear and hygiene measures where needed.

Every visit ends with a timestamped photo and update from me. No app required, it lands straight in your WhatsApp.

We agree on an access method at the Meet & Greet: your key, a smart lock code, or a concierge handoff, whatever you're comfortable with. Keys are labelled with a code only, never your name or address, and kept securely between visits.

I'll agree on a vet contact and an emergency protocol with you before your first booking, so nothing is improvised if something feels off.

As soon as your travel dates are set, ideally. Slots fill up fast during summer and the winter holidays. That said, I'll always do my best to fit in a last-minute request if I have availability.

Because specialising means I actually know what I'm doing. Every habit I track and every protocol I follow is built around cat behaviour specifically, not adapted from a generic pet-sitting checklist. My ACACED training covers domestic animal care more broadly, but my practice has been cats only from day one.
