Highlights
Pet care experience
Welcome to the Cat-cierge!
An affectionate and detail-oriented cat carer, I enjoy the process of getting to know new cats and discovering their personalities. I have held a lifelong love for cats since the surprise birth of an entire litter in my parents' bathroom when I was just six years old. It wasn't until the pandemic that I shared a living space with friends and came to love and care for their super senior cat, Stormy. As her medical needs changed, I kept up and discovered a joy for the enrichment and companionship I could provide to an aging cat. Since then, I have worked with up to three cats at a time. They have ranged from the ages of 1-19. I have, successfully and with minimal distress for the cats, administered oral, topical, and subcutaneous medications. I provide exercise and stimulation through playtime, bonding through grooming, and companionship through quality time spent together (overnight sits). Medicating cats goes well for me, I believe, because I take plenty of time to get to know each cat. I learn their boundaries and expectations. I learn what they're comfortable letting their parents do versus what they will permit me to do. I frequently speak with the cats and explain the process of what I am doing. Of course, they don't understand me perfectly, but you'd be surprised what they do understand from tone and body language. Whether you're looking for overnight support for your still-bonding pair or daily medication doses for your senior cat during your summer getaway, I'm more than happy to help. Let's start by scheduling a Meet & Greet, and especially if you'd like your cats medical needs attended to, let's meet at your home. This allows me to greet your cat with you present. That goes a long way when we are alone and its time for them to accept a pill from me. Note: Due to severe allergies, I can only provide care, sits, and visits for cats. You'll see in the Additional Dog Details section, I answer some questions about "senior dog care" or "dog first aid," but each of those answers should be interpreted as the care I am competent to provide for cats only. Rover does not currently permit me to use neutral or feline language. I am unavailable for any and all care involving dogs or homes shared with dogs.

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
Our household cat is not comfortable meeting new cats. Because of this, I will always come to your home and care for your cat there. I am detail oriented, so I will mind your security instructions to the letter to keep your cats safe and sound. It is best to notify me of any alarm codes, key locations, or gate passcodes at our first meeting.
Ratings and reviews
I really appreciate how after every visit she gives a summary WITH pictures of what happened, like how much they ate, if they played or cuddled, plus funny side notes. She is very informative, a fast replier, and updates daily. This sets her apart from any pet sitter I’ve used! My scaredy cats love her!!! This is my 3rd time booking with Victoria, and will be booking again.
Always happy to know Victoria is taking care of my girl and my house.
I love working with Victoria. I know my girl 🐾 is in great hands.
Victoria exceeded all expectations! I have 2 cats (15 & 6) that both required different levels of care and Victoria was able to handle both of them. She was very thorough in her prep and we had a video consult to go over all expectations, requests, questions, etc. She was detailed and asked questions I hadn’t even thought to cover. During the pet sitting, she kept me updated at all time and provided pictures to let me know the girls were doing okay. My 15 year old cat requires multiple medications that can sometimes be difficult to administer and she was able to administer with no issues. Nothing about this was a negative experience and I would recommend her to anyone!! I will definitely be rebooking her in the future.
Great attention to detail, communicative, helpful, and perfect with my girl.🐾
Victoria has cat/house sat for us numerous times over the past 5 years. She has stayed in our home to care for our cat, following our instructions on feeding and litter box cleaning. She administered thyroid medication to our cat twice a day and insured she was brushed and cared for everyday. Victoria even took it upon herself to buy some pet wipes to clean our cat’s ears! Victoria also sent texts and pictures keeping us informed on our cat’s well being. We were very pleased with Victoria’s loving care of our 19 year old cat and would definitely use her services again- highly recommend!!

Schedule
I am available for bookings and meet & greets during and shortly after office hours, or roughly 8am-7pm Monday through Sunday. If you contact me after those hours, I may be available on an infrequent basis or I will get back to you once business hours resume. For the actual cat sits or drop-in visits, my schedule is largely available through weekdays, weekends, and holidays. I regularly update my calendar. I am entirely unavailable for dog care due to severe allergies, so any and all requests for households with dogs in them will be politely declined.
