Pet care experience
Cat lover eager to watch your cats
I moved from Ohio USA to the UK 3 years ago to marry my British soulmate. Unfortunately he is severely allergic to cats, so the cats I had in Ohio had to stay behind with my adult children. My first cat, as an adult, was my snuggly black cat Quin in 2012. He loved lap cuddles and frolicking in the yard. Unfortunately he crossed the rainbow bridge a few years later due to cancer. In 2014 we adopted a 1 year old kitty Moo Moo, she was unofficially my son's cat and still lives with him in Ohio. In 2017 we saw on Facebook a post about some kittens that had been dumped in the woods, and that's how we got Smokey. We got her when she was about 9 weeks old and she lives with my daughter in Ohio. I love being able to play with and snuggle cats, I also love watching their antics even the crazy orange ones! I owned a dog from a puppy (cocker/spaniel mix) for 16 wonderful years who loved chasing squirrels and walking to the ice cream stand with me. I also had a Lutino Cockatiel as a teenager who still lives with my mom, he enjoys dancing to music on top of a dresser that has a large mirror on it. He sings to the bird in the mirror as he dances. I currently live in Great Lever and am willing to travel up to 10 miles for a sit. I'm available to drop in up to 3 times a day, as needed, to ensure your fur babies are cared for the same way as you would.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I provide whatever the cat or cats need, using the food and other supplies you leave. I know how sensitive some cat's stomachs can be regarding brands and flavours of foods and treats. If they need a before dawn feeding, or extra snuggles, or lots of stimulating playtime I can provide these things so your cat(s) doesn't miss you as much. I will also do anything that needs done while you're away such as watering plants, collecting the mail, taking the bin to the curb, leaving seed out for the outdoor birds, or anything else that needs taken care of until you return home.
Ratings and reviews
Idli was well taken care of which regular updates which is exactly what I was looking for!! Couldn’t recommend enough!
Vickie was wonderful with our cat Seb - he absolutely loved his time with her! She brought a toy for him to use and keep, which he loves, and provided me with great updates - including photos and videos. Great communication from Vickie at all times! And the gift was a lovely treat to come home to. I would definitely recommend Vickie and would use her services again in the future! Thanks for keeping Seb entertained, well looked after, and keeping the house in order ☺️
We have had several cat sitters over the past 3 years or so but none compare to Vickie. Mikey was well looked after with photos and videos every day. I would highly recommend Vickie to anybody wanting their fur ball well looked after. We will certainly try and book Vickie again when we are going away.
We couldn’t be happier with the care our three cats received. It was clear as soon as we got home that they had been incredibly well looked after—they were happy, relaxed, and content, which gave us complete peace of mind. Throughout our time away, we received plenty of updates and messages, which really put us at ease. It was lovely to see how our cats interacted with her too; you could immediately tell they were comfortable and trusted her. As a fellow experienced cat owner, she really understood that all three of our cats have very different personalities and cared for each of them accordingly. That personal understanding made all the difference. We wouldn’t hesitate to book her again in the future and will definitely be rebooking whenever we need a cat sitter. We highly recommend her—your cats will be in the very best hands! 🥰🥰🥰
Vickie has been an absolute superstar yet again. Snowflake absolutely adores her and I would never have anyone else to look after Snowflake because they have such an incredible bond.
Vickie is such a lovely kind person who looked after our cat so well.

Schedule
I just finished taking my GCSEs in English and Maths, so my schedule is wide open for caring for your pet(s). My husband and I are members of Blesma, and we keep ourselves busy by attending activities with them. Other than that, I spend my days doing adult things like grocery shopping, paying bills, and other necessary things in life. In my free time I enjoy driving just to drive while blasting my music - it's the best way to relax, along with watching Youtube cat videos!
