Soft Paws Mobile Cat Sitter

I am a qualified animal carer and member of Pet Sitting NZ. I also undertake regular police vetting for your peace of mind.
(16)

If you have been wanting to take a break but not keen on putting your fur baby into a cattery, I can help! I am an experienced and qualified cat lover that can come to your home to care for your cat when you are not able to be there. As part of my visit I can clean litterboxes, feed your cat, have play time, empty your mailbox, water plants, put out bins, and open and close your curtains so your

home doesn't appear vacant while you are away. I may be able to do other tasks for you while I am there, just ask :)
I have a current clean criminal record check to provide you which I request every few months for your peace of mind. I take the safety and security of your home seriously, and do not have anything that identifies me as a pet sitter so your neighbours don't know you aren't home. I will work with you to set up visits that will work best for you and your cat and will also provide photos by email or text updates. I understand cats and know when they don't want any attention, or if they need a lot. I am also experienced in administering medication if required - there is no extra cost for this. I also have my New Zealand Certificate in animal care. I am available to visit your home in the wider Wellington area, outside of Wellington City may incur travel costs. If you are interested in meeting me or discussing further then please give me a call or email me at [email protected]. A complimentary introduction visit to discuss your requirements is available before you make a decision to book me to look after your cat. Pricing
• One cat for one visit per day $25 - $5 extra per additional cat
• One cat for two visits per day $40 - $5 extra per additional cat
There is no extra charge for administering medication or cleaning the litter trays. Other small pets will be considered, but if I'm not confident I can care for them, I will let you know. Cancellation Policy
As soon as you have a made a booking with me, it is possible I may decline further bookings to ensure I don't over-commit. Last minute bookings and changes can be discussed, as I understand our current environment can be quite disruptive. If you wish to cancel your booking, you can do so for free unless I have already left to visit your cat. If the booking is cancelled while I am at the visit, you will still be charged for that visit. Cancellation fees apply at Christmas time if cancelled within 7 days or less of your booking.

Have come to know these 2 quite affectionately. Fred has come such a long way from hiding in the recliner, to now greeting me at the door and treating me to his 'I trust you' belly exposure roll.
Freya just loves me and has the cutest little chirp, although she does get a little jealous at her brother having some of my attention haha

Why are cat beans so cute 😻

I am so so sad to hear of the fire at Carevets Kilbirnie last night. My boys were enrolled at this clinic and the staff always looked after them well. Such a sad day for them. Really thinking of everyone involved 💔

It's Prince Kevin!!
I have missed her 🥰
She has a new human baby sister and has adapted well to the change. It was so nice to see her again 😻

I looked after beautiful Miss Roxy again a couple of weeks ago. She always runs to me when I arrive and can never have enough of the love I give her 😻

One of the regular replies to my daily update emails to fur parents I get is 'great photo'.
That's because I'm also a qualified photographer 📸
I don't actively work as a photographer and only use my skills to help charities or those who can't afford one for an important day. I have taken photos of some sad times for families, but the images are priceless to those who look at them every day.
There has been a more fun time where I got to hang out with cats and kittens to help get images needed for a book called 'Grandpa Buster of Kitty Kingdom'. Fun day with cats and kittens, yuss! Sadly Buster has now passed to the Rainbow Bridge, but if you'd like to purchase a copy of the book please contact Kitty Kingdom Wellington - Cat Sanctuary and help a rescue at the same time 😻

This is Princess Leia 👸 ever so smoochy and knows what she wants 😻 she gave me so many cute poses to send to her mum 📷
Every time I opened the door when she was home, she'd run so fast she slid on the floor to greet me with smooches.

Had the privilege of looking after a fur family of 4 this weekend!
4 new fur friends for me 😁
Ok, I only managed to make friends with 3 but 3 out of 4 is good right?
2 out of the 4 have very specific feeding requirements and their mum wrote up the best instructions that it was actually a breeze and they had so many fun things to play with I was in cat heaven 😻

See this gorgeous wee girl? Her name is Banksy. She's the sweetest little girl.
When I did my first visit she quietly peeped around the corner and gave me the smallest meow. My heart melted.
She was unsure so I quietly sat on the floor and talked to her. She just watched me, unsure of me despite meeting me before, but this time mum and dad weren't home.
I started to prepare her dinner and suddenly she was more interested.
Once she had her dinner, and I started to play with her toys, she came over and started showing me all her toys. We are now friends and had the best time together. I can't wait for next time 😻

Looked after these 2 gorgeous fluffs recently, and they were so smoochy. Didn't take long for them to remember me either 😺 I think it was about a year ago that I last saw them too

This is beautiful miss Sasha.
When I first started looking after her she was a bit shy of visitors.
Now she comes running when I call her and absolutely loves a play and Smooch 😻

Jack is such a character. I couldn't wait to 'surprise' his mum with this pic 🤭

Gorgeous Sian gives me the best welcome. She rolls all over the floor slowing me her feet and tells me all about her day.
Our favourite activity together is choosing what's for dinner 😺

2nd time looking after these gorgeous girls and they were much more relaxed.

I don't ever approach a cat. I let them come to me when they want, and if they don't want to that's perfectly fine.
I will always talk to them the entire time I'm there, and usually they are quite calm after 5 or so minutes as I create a calm environment for them.
It's such a winning experience for me making so many cat friends with both shy and super social cats 😻😻 and my patience helps haha

I got to look after these cuties while their human family finally got to enjoy a holiday. Some days they had me calling them for ages until I saw them peering at me from a distance, and then come running when they realised they were spotted 🤭
