I’m a full-time paramedic working 12-hour shifts on a 4-on, 4-off schedule. If cat sitting falls on my working days, I can visit your cat(s) before or after work—early mornings (before 7am) and evenings (after 7pm). On my days off, I’m fully flexible and can visit at any time that suits you.

Safety, trust & environment

You can trust that your home and your cat will be in safe hands with me. I will keep your keys secure and will never share them—no one else will enter your home. I’ll make sure everything is locked up properly when I leave, and I’m happy to set the alarm if needed. I’ll always follow your instructions carefully when it comes to your cat’s care—whether that means letting them out, keeping them indoors or in a specific room, and understanding their routine, personality, and what they enjoy. My aim is to make them feel as comfortable and happy as possible while you’re away.

Information Veronica D. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your cat has any special needs, as well as what they are allowed or not allowed to do. The more I know about their routine, preferences, and any restrictions, the better I can care for them and make sure they feel safe and comfortable.

A typical day

When I arrive, I’ll greet your cat if they feel comfortable coming to say hello—I never force interaction, as every cat is different. Some love attention, play, and cuddles, while others prefer their own space, and I always respect that. I’ll follow your feeding instructions carefully, refresh their water, and clean food bowls at every visit. I’ll also clean the litter tray each time to keep everything fresh and comfortable. After that, I’m happy to spend time with your cat—whether that’s playing, cuddling, or just keeping them company, depending on what they enjoy. I’ll keep the area around the litter tidy by hoovering or sweeping if needed, and I’m also happy to help with small household tasks like emptying bins, bringing in post, and watering plants.

Trusted Cat Lover & Caring Sitter

Cat care experience

Hi, nice to meet you! I’m Veronica, a true cat lover 🐾 I was lucky enough to share my life with my cat for 20 years—she brought so much love and joy into my home every single day. That experience is a big part of why I care so deeply about cats. They’re such special, sensitive animals, each with their own unique personality, and I genuinely love spending time with them. I’ve been cat sitting for several years now, and it’s something I truly enjoy. A little about me: I’m 38, originally from Italy and have been settled in Harlow since 2014. My main job is working as a paramedic (emergency nurse), and I’m DBS checked. In my free time, I enjoy singing and going to the gym. I’m a reliable and caring person with strong values, and I’ll look after your cat with the same love and attention I would give my own 😊

Veronica is the perfect sitter. We received regular photos and updates with each visit, and all instructions were followed perfectly. She also respected our nervous cat’s space and gave her the time she needed to build trust, which was hugely appreciated.
