About Me

Cat sitter for Edinburgh city centre and West End

Hi there! I'm Sophie. I'm from Ireland and have been living in Edinburgh West End since the end of 2022. I work as an Executive Assistant and spend most of my days working from home.

I have been around cats all my life and absolutely love them. As a child I grew up with 5 of them. I have cat sat for a number of friends in Ireland and have always loved getting to know their quirks and personalities.

Me and my partner currently have our own fur baby, Burrito, who we brought from Donegal all the way to Edinburgh. I am so glad we did as he has settled in over here just as much as we have.

I have used the cat in a flat service over the past few months and think it is just such a great service which is why I wanted to sign up as a sitter.

I know that all cats are unique, some are extrovert and some are more shy. I love each one of these and can cater to their personalities and needs by getting to know them. Some want lots of cuddles and playtime and some want their personal space, I always pay attention and respect what the cat wants first.

I will feed them, give them fresh water and anything else needed. I will also ensure to collect any mail and water plants as needed while you are away.

Most importantly I will make sure to keep you updated by sending you updates of photos and videos of your fur baby so you can have peace of mind while you are away. As I think it is so important to know your cat is happy and comfortable even when their best friend is away.

    Sophie has been an absolute superstar taking care of our lovable fur balls, feeding them, playing with them and providing us with plenty of updates. I can’t recommend her enough and already booked her for our next away trip!

    Sophie was an absolute diamond. She and the cat got on immediately and judging by the photos this continued while we were away. I can't rate her highly enough.

    Sophie is absolutely wonderful! Having met previously at an event and talked about our cats, I was thrilled to see her on Cat in a Flat. She was reliable and communicated often, sending pictures and updates while I was away. She took great care of Gloria and my flat and will be booking again!

    Sophie was amazing! We've never had anyone make friends with both cats so quickly. She sent us lots of photos and videos every day, whether it was for cuddles or playing- the cats loved having her visit and were even waiting at the door. She is a great communicator with the humans as well as the cats. You're definitely in great hands with Sophie!

    Sophie, as always, has been fantastic and so accommodating. She kept us up-to-date with lovely videos and pics of Ziggy and Milou so we could see what they were up to and I especially appreciate that she takes the time to get to know them and give them lots of attention when she visits, Ziggy and Milou love her! Thank you Sophie 😻

    Second time having Sophie look after our cat, Milo. She was absolutely brilliant - lots of photos and updates. She spent time playing and cuddling him on each visit. Milo was very happy when we returned because of all the lovely attention he received. Would 100% recommend Sophie.

    This is the third time we've used Sophie and she's always wonderful – my cats, Ziggy and Milou love her! She's reliable, great at keeping in touch and obviously loves caring for cats. Ours were super-happy when we got home. I'd have no hesitation in recommending Sophie. We're delighted to have found her here!

    Sophie has been fantastic on both occasions she's looked after our cats. She sent us the most wonderful pics and videos after every visit which we loved seeing, especially the ones with Ziggy purring! She clearly loves cats and has so much patience even with our very shy cat Milou. We can't thank you enough Sophie! x
