About Me

Tortitude Cat Sitting

Hi there, my name is Alix and I live in Leatherhead. That lush chunk of fluff in my arms is our rescue cat Elive. She has the attitude to match her very typical breed and that sassy look!

I've owned cats all of my life so am used to their quirks! Elvie was our biggest challenge with a hate of men, feet, and a fear of all humans. She's taken 4 years of love and honestly, she is a different cat. Aside from Elvie being a big part of my life, I also have a budgie call Peace, a hamster called Bock and a vast array of tropical fish! So just a few animals!

All of our cats are our children and I know as much as anyone when we go away we want them to be cared for and safe! For that reason I am also trained in injecting cats and providing oral medications to cats, I know how hard it can be to find someone who can inject which I am more than happy to do!

In my day job, I work as a manager in a busy GP surgery and find that cats are much easier than humans! Outside of my work and cat sitting, I ice skate, enjoy yoga and spending time reading. Feel a bit like I am doing a dating website here. If so....... I bring my own chocolate brownies! I also spend a lot of time with my partner who is also an animal lover but is autistic and requires a lot of support. She loves hearing and seeing pictures of all of my new furry friends.

If you think I could be the best auntie Alix to your furchildren, I would be delighted to hear from you soon!

I love a cwtch and a cuddle with any cats or those who dont! Playtime is a perk and bum pats too!

For those who are a bit more shy, I often take a book and read a chapter (or three!) while they get used to me.

Of course updates and selfies are a must and if we're lucky headbuts too!

    Alix is fabulous! Lots of thought and attention to detail which was much appreciated. She even mopped our floor. She is very considerate and took excellent care of our fur baby! Thank you Alix- booking again now!

    Alix attended our home every morning and evening without a fail. We receive pictures each time with a little update.

    Alix did a wonderful job looking after my kitty over the holidays. I received regular updates and I felt good knowing she was being well cared for. She even brought her some extra treats for Christmas!

    Alix looked after our two Siberian boys and we came back to find them so relaxed they had barely noticed we’d been away. She was an instant favourite with both of them!

    Alix was wonderful - sent me messages twice daily to keep me updated on Moo and his well being and spent time cuddling him (when he would allow). I would thoroughly recommend her.

    Alix kept us in touch with our cats welfare, sent a few photos and left our home clean and tidy. Cats seemed very content. X

    Alix was absolutely brilliant. She kept me updated with messages and pictures and I felt completely at ease knowing she was there to take care of my loving but needy/grumpy cat.

    Another fab visit from Alix - cats were well fed, tablet successfully given and cats were happy when we got home. So much easier having a cat sitter than putting the cats through the stress of boarding. Will definitely book Alix for our next trip.

    Alix did a great job looking after Teo for nearly 20 days while we were away. She followed all instructions and sent daily updates and photos. We returned to a happy and content cat and a tidy home. Thank you very much, Alix! You will definitely be hearing from us again. Karina & Petar

    Alex has been an absolute star taking care of our beloved Jinxy, frogs and fish. We were impressed with Alex from the first moment we’ve met her and she delivered above our expectations. We have received photos and update each time she came, she ensured Jinxy was happy and relaxed. We wholeheartedly recommend Alex to look after your fur babies.

    It has been brilliant finding Alix as our cat sitter. Everything has been so easy. From our initial meeting to looking after the cats, we have been impressed with her. Cats successfully fed, tablets successfully administered, cats clean and tidy = happy owners. Looking forward to Alix looking after them again soon as we know it will work so well.

    Alix is the best! First time using her services for Teddy and kept up to date for each visit with pictures and headbutt updates. He seemed so content and happy when I returned and won't hesitate to book with Alix again. Fantastic! Thank you

    Alix did a wonderful job looking after our two rescue cats, who are normally very nervous of strangers. She bonded really well with both of them and I had regular updates from her. She also watered our hanging basket every day. We came back to two happy cats (and healthy plants) so I would definitely recommend her.

    Alix was brilliant with our two cats. One being very nervous. She even managed to get a cuddle out of her!!! A real cat whisperer. Would highly recommend and have already rebooked for our next break. Thank you Alix especially from Tia and Char x

    Alex was a great cat sitter for my three cats, she sent pictures morning and night and made sure they were happy before she left! I would definitely recommend Alex if you’re looking for someone kind and trusting to look after your cats!

    Alix was amazing whilst looking after my cat Oscar. She sent daily updates and went above and beyond watering plants and keeping our tomatoes alive! We came back to a very well fed and happy boy.

    Alex is an amazing cat sitter and she will always be our first port of call for our cats going forward. Alex sent wonderful daily updates with pictures of the cats and spent good, quality time with them meaning we could have a relaxing worry-free holiday. Alex more than exceeded our expectations - she was amazing. Highly recommended by us.

    Alexandra did a wonderful job caring for our cat Arnold. We will be using her again when we are away.

    I literally cannot recommend Alex high enough for how good of a service she provided for my cats! She went over and above her job to make sure they were the most looked after whilst I was away. Alex treats your cats like they are her own, I cannot praise her enough and not once was a worried about them! 350 characters isn't enough for her review!
