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 ❤️
