Pet care experience
Experienced foster 😻 Extra cats $1
🐱 I'm adoptions lead with cat rescue Purrfect Catpanion, and I foster with the Brooklyn Cat Cafe. My current foster Monopoly is a sweet 2yo tuxedo, very playful and loves to perch on shoulders. Check her out in my profile. 💸 Additional cats are $1 per visit. Please book 1hr visits (at least one per day) if you have 4+ cats. If your kitties have complex medical needs or requirements, we can discuss at meet and greet to understand the time needed for appropriate care. 🌟 I have experience with all sorts of cats, from reserved to outgoing (my foster fail Goose is a certified freak). I've cared for cats with complex medical needs including diabetes, lymphoma and pancreatitis, brand new strays finding their feet, and wallflowers who just needed patience and time. 📸 With 2,500 cat shots on my camera roll, you can be sure of photo and video updates from our visits. 💼 I spent 15 years in corporate client services, so your messages will always be answered. You won't be left wondering what is happening. 🛡️ I am insured through Pet Sitters Associates for your peace of mind. 🐾 Please note: I have small dogs selected in search filters to show in generic search results, but I specialize exclusively in cats. 🇬🇧 A fun fact about me: I am originally from the UK, where cats are legally granted the right to roam as 'free spirits'. Don't worry, my cats are strictly indoors.

Safety, trust & environment
We used house sitters for our cat care when we go away, so as a home owner in this situation, I am very aware of taking good care of your space and ensuring everything is as you left it, including clearing up after the kitties.
Ratings and reviews
Victoria leads with friendliness and gets the job done with thorough, thoughtful methods. In addition to taking care of my buddies, she brought in new ideas, like different ways to feed them and whether the local evil genius might enjoy clicker training. On top of photos and updates (all of which was so charming), I came to look forward to learning something more about my cats from Victoria’s experiences with them. Just a great experience overall. I came home to two happy, well-socialized cats who’d had such a good time while I was gone that they forgot to be mad at me for going on vacation. Two thumbs up (and eight paws too)!
We needed to find a last minute sitter for 2 weeks away and I’m so happy we found Victoria. Her care and attention for our 3 cats and their needs gave us great peace of mind when being away for so long. We received so many funny messages with photos and videos that made us laugh and know our babies were being well taken care of. I would recommend Victoria to anyone and will be booking again.
Victoria was so thoughtful and caring with my cat!
Victoria is an AMAZING sitter for cats- she has expertise with giving cats pills and was great about giving updates every visit about which medications were dispensed so I never had to worry about my senior cat missing a dose. She is also great overall with cats, even my very shy cat clearly really warmed up to her by the end of my trip. She also went above and beyond with helping take care of my home with things that I hadn’t even asked her to do (taking out the trash / replacing the trash bags, and bringing in a food delivery I wasn’t able to cancel and putting it in the fridge). Victoria is a gem and any cat owner would be so lucky as to be blessed with her service!
Victoria was so generous with her time. She is flexible, thorough, and highly communicative. A true professional! Every day she sent several photos, videos, and updates. I would recommend her to anyone in an instant. I could not be more appreciative of how well she took care of my two cats. Thank you Victoria!
Victoria was a star sitter and took the extra steps to make my cat feel safe and at ease. She was incredibly responsive and communicated at every step. Highly recommend!

- I think cat parents are super attuned to their pets, as each one is so individual and has their own unique quirks that I love hearing about! The most important things to understand is comfort with strangers, and any big likes or dislikes (certain treats, style of play, where to be pet). As cats often hide their discomfort, knowing their normal eating/drinking and litter habits when a sitter comes over is crucial to monitor their wellbeing.
