I work from home on Mondays and Fridays, and 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.

Oral 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 20 years now - first, three beautiful rescues at my parents house, and now my own little calico sweetheart, Frida (aka Fifi) and bundle of energy black cat, Lilith (aka Lily). I live with my partner so he can look after our little one while I look after yours. I have experience with cats from kittens to extremely senior lovelies. I can give all types of medication (oral, creams, injections) and know basic pet first aid. I love to give cuddles and scratches, as well as play and treats. I am experienced with very playful to extremely timid cats and can work to what makes them most comfortable (including basically pretending they’re not there!).

Sofie looked after our two young cats for the second time, and we were so happy to have her look after them again. She kept us updated, did everything we asked and took great care of them. We feel completely confident leaving them in her hands and will definitely ask her to look after them again!

Sophie and Nick were just amazing with our two kitties. We could not ask for better sitters so we would highly recommend. Knowing they were looking after our cats made us feel relaxed and able to enjoy our time away from home. We will certainly ask if they are available to look after our kitties again.

Sophie was great! She came to meet the boys ahead of time, to make sure she knew which one to administer the medication to. Nothing was too much trouble. The cats were happy & relaxed upon our return! Would use Sophie again!

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!
