About Me

Friendly, professional and trustworthy

Hi there!

I have lots of experience caring for cats - through cat sitting (for people like you!), working within a boarding and rescue cattery, and caring for my own cat for the past 7 years. I've also volunteered for Cats Protection for just over two years as welfare team leader and now regularly volunteer in a local rescue centre.

Rest assured your kitties are in safe hands with me - I have graduated from Hartpury University, achieving a first class degree in BSc (Hons) Human Animal Interaction with Psychology, and am now half way through studying a Masters of Research in Animal Behaviour and Welfare. In addition, I have completed an online diploma in Advanced Feline Behaviour (level 4) - so I am knowledgable and well prepared. When I'm not busy studying, I work at the University too!

As you can probably tell, I am extremely passionate about cats and that's why I love this job!

Please feel free to message me with any questions!

As your cat sitter I can offer you peace of mind, knowing that your cat is safe with plenty of love and fuss while you are away. I offer all of the usual services such as providing food and water, cleaning out the bowls and litter trays, grooming, clearing up any messes and, of course, giving lots of attention! I am happy to administer medication and have experience with administering spot-on and oral medications as well as inhalers (my own cat has feline asthma) and injections (insulin). I am also happy to collect the post and water plants (and any other bits and pieces around the house).

I offer daily visits (once or twice per day) and overnight stays within Stroud / Stonehouse and surrounding areas. I look forward to meeting you and your furry loved ones!

    We are very grateful to Sophie who stepped in at short notice to cat sit our lovely rescue cat Bella. Sophie kept us updated while we were away and sent photos of Bella. When we got home, Bella was relaxed and happy. We can't thank Sophie enough and certainly would recommend her as a Cat sitter.

    Sophie understood how much we love our cats and showed them the same love and care we would ourselves. Her cat care is first class, and our cats were relaxed and happy and loved her. Communication excellent throughout. Totally reliable, professional and considerate. Frequent updates, complete peace of mind. Always welcome and highly recommended.

    Sophie was amazing with our 2 Bengals, kept their food stations clean, playing with them, sending regular updates and photos. She even put our bins out and mopped the floor. A real star. Thank you so much.

    Once again Sophie was great; there was a little incident when our cat Walt accidentally swallowed a string from a rod toy, and Sophie handled the situation really well. She let us know asap and attended an online vet appointment and then called the out of hours vet. This confirms we can really trust Sophie completely!

    Sophie was amazing. She really took the time to get to know Luna and Ursa (and us) and she looked after them brilliantly whilst we were away. They had 5* treatment! She went above and beyond what was required, and even helped us with a problem they were having with a neighbouring cat. Kind and super knowledgable - can't recommend highly enough.

    Having trialed catteries in the past and Mysti not getting on with them, we knew we had to look into a cat sitter. I am so glad we found Sophie! She is a natural with cats, and although our cat is super friendly, he can be quite nervous, he warmed to Sophie with ease. Going on our first holiday and leaving Mysti was already daunting, but with Sophie sending regular updates, photos and videos, it made us feel so at ease. I felt I could enjoy my holiday knowing Mysti was in the best possible care. Came home and he was so relaxed, happy and calm! Would recommend Sophie to anyone! Thank you! X

    Sophie’s great. She truly cares about cats and made sure our boys were comfortable while we were away. She sent us updates and even came earlier one evening to check up on one of our cats who’d been sick that morning. It’s nice to know we can leave the house guilt-free and with peace of mind when Sophie’s looking after them :) Our younger cat is scared of new people but from the first time he met Sophie he was comfortable enough to come downstairs and eat his dinner, which was amazing to see! We’ve already booked Sophie for our future holidays and you should do the same :)

    I would highly recommend Sophie. The booking was simple and Sophie’s communication was excellent. She provided regular updates while we were away including messages, photos and videos. She not only fed and cared for our animals but took time to play and groom them too. Sophie was kind and friendly when she visited us beforehand. I had every confidence that she would do a marvellous job and she didn’t disappoint. We will definitely book Sophie again in the future.

    Thank you Sophie for taking care of Our little Ruby.

    Sophie was lovely with our little girl. She was very friendly and approachable and we appreciated how flexible she was with the time she spent with Ruby. We also received daily adorable updates and pictures of Rubes.

    We both appreciated how informed Sophie was about cats and how interested she is with the welfare of the cats she looks after.

    Thank you once again Sophie it was lovely to meet you we are happy with the care and attention you gave our Ruby and hope to use your services in the future.

    Sophie is great, really caring and she understands cats, we will definitely ask her again. Our ex-stray even sat on her lap and came downstairs for snuggles.

    Sophie was fantastic with both our cats! Reliable great service. I will definitely use Sophie again and can highly recommend. Not only did she feed and fuss our cats but she managed to get cuddles from our very nervous ex-stray cat! It was lovely to receive her daily updates and advice around cleaning/feeding which we are going to try. Thanks again!
