When she’s there, she’ll check that they’re okay, feed them and give them some love and attention if they want it.

On this @livscatisland In the account, she shared her December earnings and the adorable moggies she looked after.

First up was Tiger, whose owners were gone for two weeks, meaning he earned £240 for his visits.

She wrote: “He is an observant boy and just wants to eat.”

Then there was Tuppence, who wanted snacks and attention on the three days (Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and Boxing Day) that his owners were away.

Liv charged £102 for the service and said it was double the normal rate because it was over Christmas.

He visited Lily the Cat four times over the festive period, which came in at £84, with Max the Moogy earning him £247 for two weeks of visits, and £84 for a New Year’s check-up on Thomas.

Eventually she looked after Henry the cat for a few days which earned her another £84.

“This is your sign.”

Liv has some advice for those looking to take it up, advising: “There are always meet and greets in this job.

“So meet the customers and the cats before your tours begin.

“During the meet and greet you make it clear who you are, and be open to any questions the customer may have.

“Be compliant with their requests.

For example, I offer to clean clients’ homes, water flowers, take out bins at no extra cost.

“Cats are messy so it’s ideal to try in a customer’s home.”

She explained how she first created a Facebook page for her cat sitting business and then posted on community groups to get her name out there.

However, she found that she was completely sold out for the first few months.

Liv said she offers up to three visits per customer per day.

She added: “I take about five clients a day and start from 5am to 10am and then start again from 5pm to 7pm.”
