About Me
Sophie's Furry Friends
AUGUST 2025 - EDINBURGH ONLY
Perth and Dundee (and occasionally Edinburgh) based. Available at short notice. Send me an enquiry and we can chat more about your needs.
I'm experienced in: all diets including raw; nervous/shy cats; medications including tablets and injections. I'm happy to look after dogs and other furry/non-furry (terrapins, iguanas, etc, and hens) friends too. I can also water plants/garden, and put the bins out, if required.
I am a biologist and experienced pet sitter. I have been owned by cats for most of my life, and long may it continue!
I have an adopted 14.5yr old fluffy cuddle bug (pictured).
Small print: I charge 50p per mile outside my 5 mile radius. Catinaflat charge 19% to cover insurance etc. so I receive 19% less than my quoted fee. I do not flush litter, even the ones that say you can. It can be damaging to plumbing, and pet parasites get through the water treatment system.
You can be sure that your 'fur baby' is well looked after while you're away - making sure they're fed and watered is a basic need, but I will also talk to them and play, and Dreamies can be administered if allowed!

Perth"Unfortunately, the service did not meet my expectations. The provider did not follow the requested instructions and responded unprofessionally. Additionally, the cats' litter boxes were not cleaned as discussed." CAT SITTER REPLY: "I'm so disappointed that you felt my service didn't meet your expectations. I pride myself on an excellent service, which is backed up by my many 5 star reviews and repeat clients. I believe I followed your instructions (to 'refresh the litter', feed once a day). Hopefully next time you are not satisfied you can speak to the person involved first to sort it out."

PerthSophie was fantastic, managed to get my not so sociable cat to greet her at the door, made sure my four fur babies were fed and looked after well. Purchased cat food when I misjudged and ran low. Only allowed one kind of food and Sophie made sure she got the correct brand and flavor as my unsociable girl has many allergies . Definitely book again.

EdinburghThis is our second time hiring Sophie to cat sit for us. We called on Sophie last minute and she was thankfully available!

EdinburghSophie was really easy to communicate with and came to meet Ivy beforehand.

Thanks Sophie!

EdinburghSophie did a wonderful job taking care of our two fur babies. I was really worried, never having a pet sitter before, and leaving my two cats for a while. Sophie made me feel really comfortable, took pictures to send me every day for peace of mind, and we came home to two very well-fed kitties. Will book again!
-
Sian J
DalkeithHappy kitty, happy owner. Hire her .
-
Claire V
EdinburghBooking Sophie and making arrangements for her look after our two cats was very easy. As we'd only been in our flat a couple of months we booked her to stay as they were still a bit unsure in their new home. I had daily updates and photos which was really nice and returned to two very happy cats, even Tobi who's nervous of new people. Will definitely use again. Thanks Sophie!
-
Nikki d
EdinburghSophie took care of our fluffy one again, before and after her first night alone ever. Sophie kindly stayed until quite late in the evening, and ensured her food was topped up, and we knew she was in good hands (albeit she wouldn't be happy about us leaving her overnight!). We're so grateful to have Sophie :-)
-
Samantha R
EDINBURGHSophie is fantastic. Our cat, Misty, really enjoyed her company. We came home to a happy and content cat. Highly recommended.

-
Alison May E
EdinburghOur baby is well taken care of when Sophie stays with him and we also know that our home is also kept clean.
-
Samantha R
EDINBURGHSophie is fantastic. We had been reluctant to leave our beloved cat, Misty since she came to live with us. Sophie provides Misty with lots of love and attention and we came home to a very happy and contented cat. She sent us photographs and updates during the time we were away.
Sophie is reliable, friendly and really allowed us to relax knowing Misty and our home were in good hands. Her communications before, during and after the sitting were excellent.

-
Jonathan Sutherland

-
Beth H
EDINBURGHSophie was an exceptional cat sitter! She placed my partner and I at ease when leaving out kitty alone for the first time for a full week, by providing daily updates and photos of our boy! She was very reliable and it was clear she enjoyed looking after him. We returned home to a happy kitty! Sophie went above and beyond her role and we can not recommend higher. We hope to use her service again in the future! Thanks Sophie :-)
-
Fi K
EdinburghSophie was excellent - she gave us regular updates and took great care of my fussy, old cat. She administered his medication every morning and when we came back from holiday we found his bowl and litter tray very clean. I would definitely hire Sophie again!
-
Anita W
EDINBURGHSophie responded very quickly to our last minute booking request and she was excellent throughout, from the initial contact to the key collection and the cat sitting. We came home to two very happy kitties, thank you! I would have no hesitation in asking Sophie again in the future and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and helpful sitter.
-
Edel M
.Sophie was brilliant- she took such good care of Lexi over the festive season. She sent daily texts and photos to put my mind at rest. Sophie was very responsive to texts and always replied promptly. Would definitely ask her to cat sit again and highly recommend her to others
-
Uli E
EdinburghSophie was brilliant looking after our cats, they were in great shape when we returned. She was really lovely and gave us plenty of updates and she also did a great job with all cleaning up after our slightly messy senior cat. Very happy!
-
Bonnie R
EdinburghSophie was nice enough, but had to reschedule picking up keys from us twice, and on arriving told me that because of her commute she would have to charge me more, at which point I had little choice but to pay more or else risk having no sitter. I gave a very accurate description of where I live before she accepted the booking, and certainly she should have looked into the commute before accepting. When I arrived home, the cats’ water fountain was nearly empty, well below the minimum fill line. I’m afraid I have to say I would not book Sophie again. .............. CAT SITTER RESPONSE: The water fountain was left full, but the owner chose to cut my visit short and leave her 5 cats alone for more than 24hrs to save money. Clearly one water fountain is not enough for 5 cats
-
Borja
.A friend recommended Sophie to me when I needed someone to look after my 2 cats when on holiday and I'm glad I followed the advice. She adapted to my needs and the cats, one of them is really shy with strangers, took hardly any time to become friendly with her. Upon my return everything was in order and cats happy. Will contact her again on my next holidays.
-
Vincent G
EdinburghSophie was regularly in touch while we where away for a month, and Coco looked definitely like a very happy cat when we came back. A great catsitter.
-
Xavier R
EdinburghSophie was an excellent catsitter; she kept us informed during the 3 days and once we came back we found a pair of very relaxed cats.
