About Me

Animal lover and plant carer

Hi! My name is Sophie, I'm 29 and a virologist! This is now my secondary income as I'm a PhD student 😊 I love all animals but especially cats and dogs. I'm from Cornwall and live on a farm where we had cats for all my childhood years and my own kitty, Stewie, was a gorgeous grey cat with blue eyes. We had cats from when I was born to the age of 12, I also worked in a cattery for 3 years and gave personal care and attention to each and every cat. I spend as much time as possible in cat cafes as I missed having a cat so much and it's lovely to see all the different breeds.

I have recently moved into a place where I can have my own cat and her name is Pearl! She's a British shorthair and is helping me brush up on my cat caring skills!

I love, love cuddling kitties! But, as I'm aware with my own cat, not all cats prefer cuddles so I'm very mindful of this if you have a cat that prefers their own company. I know the importance of play time and stimulation as my own cat is an indoors only cat so I endeavour to play with each cat I care for and make sure they're running about to get some exercise. I can administer pills and tablets but not injections as I'm not trained. I'm available for a meeting or telephone call beforehand as I know how difficult it can be to entrust your baby to a stranger. I look forward to caring for your little fur baby! As my title states I'll also care for your plants and leave your home as tidy as I found it, I love to do a tidy for my clients before they come home. I can also look after other animals, I own two dogs myself who live in Cornwall at my family home, so long as I'm given a run down of any specific care for other animals more than happy to help out, always!

A summary of what you'll get by booking me: - photos/video and an update for every visit - a minimum 30 minute visit (this is usually longer (max 45 minutes) however if you would like longer but not a full overnight stay this can be arranged) - all special care instructions followed including medication administration and any other specific instructions - care for other animals (may require negotiation if it's a major extra commitment) - a clean and tidy home to return to - post collected and plants taken care of - plus any extra requests before the end of the cat sitting (I've even done Easter egg hunts!) - if there's any emergencies I will handle them and keep you informed every step of the way to minimise stress for you. I will transcribe everything a vet says to yourself and happy to await your decision unless there is dire emergency in which case I will make the best possible decision for your kitty as if they were my own. I will pay vet bills personally and await repayment from yourself or I can collect an invoice from the vet for you. If a vet visit requires travel costs and/or substantial extra time (over 45 mins, a visit length) I'll request reimbursement

2024/25 update - I really hate putting my prices up but as I'm receiving a lot more requests since I last put my prices up over a year ago and I've improved my standard of service through experience with over 50 bookings and multiple regulars plus the expansion of my range I am sadly putting my prices up mildly again by £2 for one visit and £6 for two visits (two visits now has no discount I'm afraid as it's still the same travel time and each visit is a minimum 30 minutes with me, same as one visit). The cost of living is increasing still as I'm sure we all know (I also sadly lost other income recently and this is now my main side job) and the platform takes 19%, this hasn't changed thankfully. I'm also keeping my enhanced DBS updated. If you're a regular of mine and these increases are too much please message me, we can book my old pricings still as I appreciate those who support me in this little business ❤️

    Sophie was really fab with our cat Daisy, and took the fact that she had an accident in her stride! She also brought over some extra litter (I'd run out but didn't realise!). Overall, I would definitely recommend her, and book her again :)

    Once again Sophie looked after our kitties and went above and beyond. We had an electrical issue which turned off our fridge and freezer and she immediately alerted us and helped solve the issue, even doing an unscheduled house visit to help out. We wouldn’t trust anyone else with our cats or our home. Thank you Sophie!

    Sophie is always wonderful with our two kitties. She keeps us updated with videos and pictures and also feeds the fish too. Communication is always excellent and our cats adore her. Plus, Sophie has been super flexible too when we had to suddenly extend our holiday. Couldn’t recommend her highly enough.

    This is the first time we've used this service and we couldn't have asked for a better cat sitter for our two little kittens. Sophie was so kind and sent us regular updates while we were away - Pippin & Frankie were clearly very happy and comfortable with her.

    Thank you, Sophie! We'll definitely contact you again.

    Sophie has been amazing with our cat Spock. He was in so much need of cuddles and attention and Sophie gave it to him. On top of that Spock was very well cared with his food, water and litter. We also had some issues with our flat during our holidays and Sophie has really showed empathy and dedication to help us and more important to help our cat.

    Sophie was a wonderful cat sitter! It was our first time using the service, and she was very kind and considerate. Ernie really liked her, but was very nervous and she took her time with him to build up trust. She sent really detailed updates every day and pictures which was really great!

    Sophie was excellent- she really spent time with Oreo and Oreo warmed up to her so quickly, and gave her lap cuddles everyday which was so lovely to see!

    Thanks for all the updates Sophie- it made holidaying easier knowing that Oreo was in good hands!

    Sophie was great at communication, both before and during the booking. I was receiving daily updates on Nala which was making my time away absolutely stress free. Nala is extremely shy and not the easiest cat to deal with, but she looked absolutely happy on my return. I would definitely book Sophie again.
