Highlights
Pet care experience
Cat Whisperer & Dog Walker
I've been raising cats for over 16 years, so feline behavior is second nature to me. I'm patient with cats at every life stage, kittens, shy ones, and seniors, and I understand every cat has their own personality and boundaries. I pay close attention to small changes in behavior, appetite, or litter habits, and I make sure your cat feels safe, calm, and respected in their own space. I've also been looking after my friends' dogs for years whenever they travel. They trust me with their pups because I'm careful and gentle with different personalities, even the anxious or shy ones. After doing it for friends for so long, I decided to offer it as a proper service too. I run a small business from home, so I have the flexibility to drop in and care for your furry besties whenever they need me. In your home, I prioritise a comfortable, stress-free environment. I follow your detailed instructions to maintain their routine, feeding schedules, fresh water, litter box cleaning, walks, playtime, and any specific care needs you've shared, and I keep their living area tidy. Interaction matters too, so I spend quality time playing with them, providing mental stimulation through toys and activities they enjoy, and giving them plenty of affection. I'll also keep you updated with regular photos and messages (because I'd want the same from my pet sitter when I'm away), so you can feel reassured your furbabies are well looked after. My goal is to keep them happy, healthy, and comfortable until you're back home.

Ratings and reviews
Valeria adapted to all my constraints and kept me reassured with regular pictures. My pet was clearly in loving hands.
Valeria was great. Very flexible in terms of drop off and pick up and took good care of jabba. She also provided daily photos which was great and gave me great peace of mind while away on vacation.
Valeria was great with our two cats! Great care and communication. Highly recommend.
Valeria was great with my cat, she was prompt and responsible. Everything went great!
Valeria did a great job looking after our cat, Millie, and home. We really appreciated her communication, kindness, and warmth. She was attentive to Millie’s needs and provided consistent photos and videos while we were away. We would definitely book her again!
We had a wonderful experience with Valeria! She took great care of our cat, Cheddar, while we were away. It was great to have a meet & greet to go over Cheddar’s routine & medication. Valeria spent quality time playing with him and keeping him company, and we could tell he was happy and well cared for when we got home. We really appreciated the updates and attention to detail. We would absolutely book her again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter!

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in my client's home, I prioritise creating a comfortable and stress free environment for your furry friends. I start by following the detailed instructions you provide to maintain their routine, including feeding schedules and ensuring they have fresh water. I also take the time to clean cats’ litter box regularly and keep their living area tidy. Interaction and engagement are key to keeping your pets happy and healthy, so I spend quality time playing with them, providing mental stimulation through toys and activities they enjoy, and giving them plenty of affection. Also, I keep you updated with regular photos and messages (because I would ask the same from my pet sitter when I'm away), so you can feel reassured that your furbabies are well taken care of in your absence. My goal is to ensure they are happy, healthy, and comfortable until you return home.

A typical day
I love to give them affection and attention when they need it. Cats are beautifully independent creatures, so I make sure not to interfere with their space and territory. As for dogs, I adjust each walk to the dog’s energy level, from relaxed sniff walks to more active outings. I include play and gentle reinforcement of good leash manners.
