About Me

Paws & Tails Petsitting

Hello I'm Vickie and am the owner of three lovely cats. I have had cats and also dogs for most of my life and have many years of experience with my own pets and also family, friends and neighbours pets who I look after while they are away from home. I have worked for Catinaflat since they first started in 2015.

I have a lot of experience in looking after very young, elderly and also sick animals and am comfortable giving oral/topical medication. I have a good understanding of many illnesses and medications due to having my own pets, and pride on educating myself so that I can care for them at home and give them the best quality of life possible.

I am used to dealing with nervous and anxious cats, special needs and behavioural problems and can offer advice if required. I am also happy to advise on nutrition too.

I really do love looking after animals and it is a joy to be able to offer a service which is becoming very popular.

My visits are for 1 hour which include taking care of your cat just as you do and ensuring their individual feeding needs are met, giving them plenty of attention and cuddles to make them feel like they're not missing you too much and also include time for play and grooming.

I will send you daily updates, photos and videos on every visit, so that you can enjoy your break and have peace of mind knowing your fur baby is happy and well looked after.

I can take in your post, water plants and ensure windows and doors are locked, set alarms and generally make sure your pet and your home are completely safe.

I cover quite a bit of Central London so just send me a message and I will see if I can help.

A bit about me, after 18 years of working in Education I decided to become a full time Petsitter, as I enjoy it so much and It is very rewarding to know that I am keeping someone else's pet happy and safe while they are away. I am passionate about what I do and always give 100% care and dedication to all my clients and their pets as I do with my own pets.

My visits include feeding and litter change/clean, giving oral/topical medications, grooming, play and exercise and lots of cuddles. I will also check your pet is in good health and instinctively know if something is not right and am more than happy to take your pet to the vet if need be.

If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask.

Many thanks

Vickie

    Vickie took care of Suzuki once more and as usual everything went very well! Suzuki was a happy kitty in the photos that I received everyday and also when I arrived home. She is in good hands whenever Vickie takes care of her. Thanks a lot Vickie, from me and Suzuki!

    Suzuki had the pleasure of Vickie's company once again and I could tell by the plenty of photos that I received that she thoroughly enjoyed it! Suzuki is in good hands with Vickie and I can also be away peacefully knowing that Suzuki is well taken care of. Thanks Vickie!

    Vickie was excellent as she had been prior. We had her in once a day while I had to be back in the office which ensured that Elsie was a lot happier when I came back home. We’d definitely have Vickie over anytime as a repeat cat sitter as she is very reliable and gives us peace of mind when we are away. Thanks Vickie!

    Vickie was fabulous! She had wonderful play dates with my kitty and had great communications, sending me lots of photos and videos. You can tell she really loves cats and what she does. I came home to a happy cat and a perfect flat. Thank you so much!

    Vickie took care of Suzuki for a second time and everything was great again! Suzuki was happy and looking nice as always and up to her usual routines, so I know she was in very safe hands. I received lots of photos everyday too which allowed me to miss my girl a tiny bit less! Thank you very much, Vickie.

    Vickie has been great with Elsie and the communications. We did the 2x daily visits and got lots of pictures of a very satisfied looking cat. Gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were away that Elsie was being taken care of. We also linked in well with Vickie with respect to all the logistics. Thanks again Vickie!

    Vickie was a great sitter for Suzuki. Suzuki was her usual self when I arrived home, being happy and playful as always! Vickie took good care of my flat too and sent me lots of photos of Suzuki everyday which was wonderful. Overall, it was a very good service.

    Vickie looked after our cats this time for a week. They obviously love her as we can see from the photos, and she takes excellent care of not just the cats, but also our home. We always know cats and house are in safe hands with her. Thank you Vickie.

    Vickie was the perfect cat sitter! We've never used Cat in a Flat before and were a little nervous about having a stranger look after our cat. But Vickie was really friendly and was sure to send lots of photos and updates each day. We had a lot going on before our holiday and Vickie made the key exchange easy and convenient for us. When we got home our cat was happy and healthy and our flat was exactly how we left it. Couldn't recommend Vickie more!

    Vickie has looked after our cat Leonard regularly since 2016. She is fantastic, we never worry about him when she is looking after him and when we come home he is always just as he always is and a happy cat. We feel very lucky to have her caring for him when we can't be with him and couldn't wish for more from her.

    Vickie did a great job. She was thorough, thoughtful and followed all of our instructions. She sent daily messages, photos and videos and let us know how our ltttle one was getting on at all times. She was reassuring and she was always available when needed. Thank you for such a great job and we won't hesitate to contact her next time we are going away.

    I can't remember how many times we have used Vickie to look after our two cats Lillie and Archie I think its double figures - suffice to say Vickie is amazing!

    Our little treasures can sometime "play-up" whilst we are away, from sickness to deciding to use the plant pots as their litter tray - but nothing phases Vickie :-)

    Highly recommend!

    Our Cat needs medication and lots of attention when we are away. Vickie does both with care, sweetness and devotion and we are never less than full of admiration for how she fulfils his and our needs for him. She is really wonderful, and we feel extremely lucky to have her to look after him when we're away.

    We can always rely on Vickie to look after Mika. It's so nice to receive a bunch of photos everyday so we can see Mika is doing well. The best one recently was of Mika sat on Vickie's lap, Vickie has clearly earned her trust!

    Vickie did a great job. We received every day a lot of pictures so we can see that our cat is fine. She also came one day earlier to get to know our cat, she is definitely a cat lover. Overall I highly recommend her and I would book her again.

    Vickie has just looked after our cat for the 11th time. She has never been less than amazing, we get photos and updates of him for each visit and she looks after him with great kindness and care. Whenever we return he is a happy and content cat. We couldn't ask for a better or nicer person to look after him.

    Vickie was amazing with Mika, who can be a bit shy. From all the photos we received she seemed to have a great time when Vickie visited! Vickie was very helpful and reliable and I could not recommend her enough.

    We cannot recommend Vickie enough! It is always quite difficult to relax when we have to go away and leave our two cats behind, but Vickie has made it much easier by sending us regular cat updates and pictures. We also think she may be something of a 'cat whisperer' as one of our furry ones is very shy with strangers but seemed to bound and trust her very quickly (I was 'almost' jealous ;) ). Vickie is a lovely and warm person who certainly put both us and the cats at ease when we were apart, and we'll definitely look for her when we have to go away again.

    From the minute we met Vickie we were sure that our two cats would be in very good hands. She was very professional and did everything in her power to put our minds at ease. While we were away she sent us daily updates along with photos of the kitties. Her attention to detail was excellent. I liked that she took time to walk around our neighborhood so she could get to know the area a bit better. We came back to two very happy cats. I would definitely recommend her to other cat owners!

    Vickie looked after our cat over Christmas this year. She was absolutely wonderful. We could not have asked for better care for him. She was kind, thoughtful and I think he had an absoutely brilliant time with her!
