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
Vickie has been an absolute superstar with her sitting. She gained Snowflakes trust and despite being hissed at for the first few days, by the end of the first week she was being cuddled up with. Vickie left my house clean and tidy for me to come home to. Vickie also sent me photos and videos every visit which helped keep me settled throughout my trip that Snowflake was doing well. Can’t wait to use Vickie again in a few weeks for my next trip.
I recommend Vickie! She's a wonderful, warm woman. It was my first time using the app and I was terrified, but when I met Vickie, I felt so much better. She took such great care of my cats. She sent me updates with photos every day. Thank you for the wonderful gift! My son loves the cat tea towel!
Vickie was amazing with my 2 fur babies ! Would highly reccomend anyone to use her to look after your babies while your on your travels, she provided cuddles and cute toys plus great little updates! The added biscuits and chocolate upon my return was a super cute touch ! X
Amazing as always. Very trustworthy and genuinely a lovely human!
I used Vickie for the first time to look after my cat and she was amazing. She went above and beyond, treated Snowy as her own and even bought her toys and treats— it was clear Snowy adored her. She also helped us out and put the bins out and kept the bird feeders topped up. I’ll definitely use Vickie again very soon!
This was my second booking with Vickie, she is a fantastic sitter and sends lots of pictures and updates. I feel very confident enjoying my time away knowing that my cat is in very good hands. Thank you!

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!
