About Me

Cat Sitting With Love, Dunoon

I've been a cat lover all my life! I am a self-employed proofreader/editor (and occasional TV/film extra) so am very flexible. We have two rescue cats, Maisie and Muppet, both of whom are 'foster fails'. I understand cats very well and am prepared to go the extra mile to ensure that they are happy and contented. I have a reliable vehicle, a full clean driving licence and a PVG certificate. Also happy to water plants, put bins out and close/open curtains and blinds if required.

Cats are creatures of routine, and even the most aloof cat will miss its human(s), so I will do my best to visit at the same time(s) each day and provide lots of cuddles, compliments and playtime, and will send regular updates. I am patient with nervous cats (fostering taught me the importance of this) and I'll happily lie flat on the floor for a while to reassure a wary moggy! Most importantly, cats can sense my affection for them, and usually approve of me within minutes of meeting. (PS: I took up art during lockdown, and I like to do little sketches of cats - so expect a handmade card after I've finished caring for your feline(s)!) PLEASE NOTE: If you are more than 5 miles away, I will have to add 45p per mile to cover fuel costs.

    Sophie sent us an update on every visit. The photo and short anecdote meant that we didn’t have any worries over Parsleys health and well-being. I would definitely recommend her services.

    Sophie has been a godsend in an emergency. She has looked after my cats for 10 days and the cats seemed happy when I came back. That’s what I call a result! 😻

    We can't thank Sophie enough for taking care of Artemis - we're all going to miss her so much. We always knew Arti was feeling happy and relaxed when Sophie was looking after her, and we will be very lucky to find a cat sitter as good as her in our new home.

    I'm super happy that I booked Sophie from Cat-in-a-flat for my two week break. Sophie maintained good communication with me throughout via messages & videos, and introduced my cat to a new favourite toy. I felt very reassured that I could see that my kitty was in good hands and happy for the duration of my trip. I would happily book Sophie again.

    Sophie is a dream come true!!

    Our house cat craves company and being away for over a fortnight it was reassuring to know that he was being so well looked after. Sophie kept us updated throughout with pictures and videos of him having the time of his life.

    100% recommended, if I could give a ten stars, I would! 🌟

    Sophie is a dream come true!!

    My house cat Yaffle craves company so having been away for over two weeks it was incredibly reassuring to see that he was being so well cared for. Sophie kept us updated throughout and I think, if he could speak, he’d be asking me to re-home him with Sophie on a permenant basis. If I could award 10 stars, I would!

    Sophie has been wonderful with our crazy wild kitten. Faithful, sending pictures & videos to us which was special. I noticed she had gone out of her way bought &tried some different wet food with our fussy pussy & also bought him a wee toy. Came home to a beautiful painting of him.Home to clean litter trays. Will definitely use Super Sophie again

    As always Sophie was willing to go above and beyond to make sure we wouldn't worry too much about Arti, and even offered to check in on her for an extra day if our journey home was delayed by the storms. Sophie always sends us lots of pictures which we love, and she makes sure to give Arti extra cuddles when she's missing us.

    Artemis had a wonderful time with Sophie as always! We especially appreciated all the updates we got while we were away (with pictures), as poor Arti had a vet appointment the day we left and needed a little bit of extra attention. Sophie made sure she was happy and comfortable, and gave us peace of mind.

    Sophie is so kind. She clearly loves animals and is a natural with cats. Our cat Luna is 13 and Sophie fed her / changed her litter AND spent time with her each day to ensure her well being - and we received daily updates with photos of our happy cat cooried in for cuddles and play. Highly recommend Sophie for heartfelt care of your furry friend.

    Arti loves having Sophie around! She was happy and full of energy when we got home. Artemis is very much a cat of routine (varying from it can really upset her), but Sophie always keeps to her schedule. She's super reliable and it's always a weight off our mind when she's taking care of Arti ❤

    Sophie did a fantastic job of looking after Arti, and we would highly recommend her to anyone seeking a cat sitter. She was super reliable, and gave us twice daily updates while we were away - as anxious pet parents this really meant a lot to us. Artemis definitely enjoyed Sophie's company and she got lots of play time and cuddles too.

    Sophie is very reliable, came at short notice and kept in touch while I was away. I think the cats were extremely well fed while I was away! They are now adjusting to reduced rations!

    My two cats seemed very happy with the service. I think they ate twice as much as usual but I am sure that helped them to adapt to their owner disappearing!

    I received daily photos of my indoor cat playing with Sophie so I was kept well informed while I was away. I think Sophie really understands cats. I would definitely recommend her.
