About Steph

Leaving your cat in someone else’s care can feel like a big decision. I’ve used a booking platform myself as a cat owner and know how important it is to find the right sitter for your cat(s). My aim is to give you complete peace of mind knowing your cat is safe, settled, and well cared for in their own home.

I tailor each visit to your cat's individual personality and needs, whether they are confident and playful, shy and cautious, or older and needing a gentler pace. 30-minute visits include feeding, fresh water, litter tray cleaning, companionship, playtime if desired, and plenty of reassurance. I can also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident everything is in good hands.

I have a calm, patient approach and understand that cats are happiest when their routine is maintained and their space is respected.

Alongside this, I bring over 30 years of cat ownership experience. I have recently joined this platform following the sad loss of my much-loved rescue Maine Coon cross, who reached nearly 18 years old. She was a nervous, sensitive cat who needed quiet reassurance and routine, while her brother (who passed away a few years ago) was outgoing and sociable.

Over the years, I have also cared for friends’ and relatives’ cats, as well as my daughter’s two cats, one of whom is very lively, full of character, and a keen little hunter. This has given me experience with a wide range of personalities and behaviours.

I work from home flexibly as a training consultant and mediator and I am a car driver, allowing me to offer consistent, reliable visits across mornings, daytime, and early evenings where needed.

As a mature, responsible professional, I am reliable, trustworthy, and attentive. My aim is simple: to care for your cat as thoughtfully as I did my own, and give you reassurance while you are away.

I look forward to meeting you and your feline family. 🐾
