About Sylvia
A cat owner since a child, blessed with one cat for 14 years and a variety of fish, a dog and other cats, after that.

Ran a tropical 110L fish tank for 5+ years, and in the past cold water tanks.

Currently a loving paw-mum of two rescue cats, Heinz and Gomez (check them out on Instagram), whom I spoil daily. Follow a daily food, brushing, litter box check/clean etc. routine and always have time for cuddles, pats, naps and playtime.

I specialise in cat-visiting across various settings and ages of cats isn’t an issue.

Those who have hired me can attest to treating their fur babies as my own. I visit once a day - morning or evening, unless a second is requested by the owner. (There is no extra charge for a second visit).

I also dog walk - no more than two at a time.

Depending on the owner - a daily photo and/or video plus comments are/can be sent (per visit/walk). This provides a sense of calmness for owners and they get to see their family members/pets/fur babies too.

Additional requests can be negotiated and built into the booking, some may incur a small fee; however I’m happy to water plants once in a while and vacuum the litter areas for free.

Looking forward to organising a meet and greet with you and your fur baby/babies real soon. (In the mean time please fill in as much as you can about your pets in their profile, as this will help at the meet and greet.)

Please ensure you check messages from Mad Paws/their app, pre and post the booking.

There are photos of my fish and two cats plus cats/dogs I have looked after in my gallery. Have a purrfect day!

Sylvia was superb - so attentive and clearly cares for the pets and families she supports. Will very much be asking Sylvia for assistance next time.

Great and prompt communication, dogs were well taken care of and we received photo updates throughout as well. Would book Sylvia again for sure

Sylvia has looked after our gorgeous senior cats for the second time over Christmas and New Year's period. She was so kind and caring, always going above and beyond our expectations. Sylvia sent us daily updates with photos and videos so we were always reassured Alfie and Jaz were in good hands. This is vital when trying to enjoy a family holiday away from home. Sylvia is always happy to check on things around the apartment too, when required. Last but not least, she leaves the cutest wee gifts for us and the kids at the end of each booking. From cat shaped post-its and bookmarks to homemade cookies. She's an absolute gem and we (and our boys) are incredibly lucky to have found her. We are looking forward to making more bookings with Sylvia this year. And so are Alfie and Jaz, of course!

Sylvia was fantastic. She sent photos after every visit along with an update. She really cared about our cat’s wellbeing and brought toys for her to play with.
