Soft Paws Cat Sitter

Soft Paws Cat Sitter I am a qualified animal carer with certificates in pet care and behaviour. I do more than just feeding. message me today 😻

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.

Back looking after these guys, and I missed them so much!
Jack tries to show his aloof side, but honestly he's hilarious and I love telling his mum about his 'moody boy' antics. Pretty miss Doris has meds every day now and she's such a trooper and no trouble at all 😻

What a way to celebrate getting back into Cat Sitting by visiting beautiful Whiskey 😻
She evaded me the first 2 visits but by the last visit she didn't disappoint with her abundance of love 😻😻
Her mum was so kind about my recent surgery, I felt so well looked after myself!

After recovering from surgery, I’ve officially begun my first Cat Sit back in action. It has felt so good to be back doing what I love again. Thank you so much to my lovely clients for trusting me with your fur baby while I ease back into things 💜

A small note as well - you won’t always see photos from every booking on this page and that’s completely okay! Some families prefer to keep their pets and homes private, and respecting that trust will always come first.

Every cat is cared for with the same love and attention whether they appear on social media or not. In saying that, todays ‘cat tax’ is one of my own, gorgeous Grayson looking ever so handsome 😺

What a neat idea!
If you have your own business you can sponsor an entire room and help decorate it! 😻 If I had the money I'd absolutely do it 😺

Kia Ora everyone, we have an exciting opportunity for a philanthropist. ✨

As many of you know, we’re getting ready to open our adoption centre, and we hope to be open late May.

As part of this, we’re looking for sponsors for each of our cat rooms. We have two rooms available, and each one can be sponsored by a business or individual:
- 1× Adult Cat Rooms – $5,000 each
- 1 × Kitten Room – $10,000 (our largest space, with two access doors)

We’re STOCKED to announce that two of our rooms (Adult cat & Wild cat room) have been sponsored and we will be working with the donor to create a beautiful space.

If you do choose to sponsor a room, we’d love to work with you to theme the space. This could reflect your business or organisation or a theme agreed on, or be named however you like. A plaque recognising your support will be displayed at the entrance to the room.

We understand this is a huge ask but we’re hoping that within our community we can share this around and find people who believe in our cause.

Thank you for your continued support, for those of you who have been following Beans journey from the start, this is him now ✨

I will very rarely recommend anyone unless I have used them myself.
But, I have discovered Sarah at The Purrfect Pawz

Sarah is Mobile Vet Nurse in Wellington with over 30 years of experience.

She is trained to notice even the smallest changes in your cat’s health, helping to prevent serious issues before they arise.

Some of her services she offers include working closely and compassionately with your regular veterinarian to ensure your cat receives the seamless care they deserve. She can also create a personalised care plan for your cherished cat, including palliative or end of life (this one gives me tears.)

If you want to discuss a maintenance care or a health assessment, feel free to get in touch with Sarah. Some of her services are below.

Thanks Sarah! You offer cat families a service that is really needed. 🐾

Leaving your cat is one thing, but wondering what your house will be like when you get home is another 🐾

We know litter, smells and fur can build up quickly, so we make a point of staying on top of it every visit. Both you and your fur babies deserve a fresh space!
