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
2025/26 update - As I near the end of my PhD and my time becomes a bit more precious I'm increasing my prices minorly again. These will take place from December 2025 onwards. Also a reminder that the the platform takes 19%, this hasn't changed thankfully. I'm also keeping my enhanced DBS updated. Thank you to those who regularly book me and support me in this little business ❤️
