As I work from home most days, I can easily and happily stay overnight or do evening and morning visits. On the days I am WFH, I can do visits during the day as well. While I don’t need to stay at your home during the day for overnight visits, I would be more than happy to, if that would give you piece of mind and help with any feeding/meds schedules.

About Sophie V.

Communication

3 repeat pet owners
100% response rate
Usually responds in a few minutes
Sends updates with Report Cards

Cat skills

Oral medication administration
Injectable medication administration

Safety, trust & environment

I will treat your property with the utmost respect, and follow any instructions for keeping your little ones safe to the letter - I have had enough experience of keeping my own cats away from escaping from 1st floor apartment windows to make me suitably cautious!

Information Sophie V. would like to know about your pet

Any likes/dislikes they may have - whatever they may be! If there are any medications - what they take, when and if you have any preferred methods on administering it for them.

A typical day

I absolutely love giving cats a fuss, groom or some play, but am so happy to work to their temperament and preferences if they don’t like to be touched or bothered. Just let me know what they like/dislike and we can make the time as comfortable and stress free for them as possible.

Cat care experience

An academic historian/museum professional based in York. I got my love of cats from my mum and have had cats for 19 years now - first, three beautiful rescues at my parents house, and now my own little calico sweetheart, Frida (aka Fifi). I live with my partner so he can look after our little one while I look after yours.

Sophie was amazing with our two cats. It was our first time leaving them for such a long period, and we were quite nervous, but she did everything possible to put our minds at ease. Our cats are very shy and anxious, but Sophie completely understood their needs and made sure they were comfortable and well cared for. She kept us updated promptly after every visit with detailed messages and photos, which gave us great peace of mind. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Sophie to anyone looking for a caring and reliable cat sitter!

I was very happy that I found Sophie to look after my cat. She was very prompt and on time with her check ins, she provided photos/videos and updates which allowed me to enjoy my trip, and she took good care of my cat. I wouldn’t hesitate to contact her again.

Sophie was absolutely fantastic with Clara, we would highly recommend her! From the offset it was obvious she has lots of experience with cats of all sorts and we left feeling confident that Clara would be in good hands. She administered injections and medication to Clara with no problem at all and sent us lots of pics and videos - thank you!

I had to extend my stay away from home, but Sophie was able to accommodate that. Very happy with her work :)
