About Me
All things Feline ๐ป๐ป๐๐ Market Harborough and surrounding areas
I am a retired NHS Nurse. Having had the joy of feline companions of various ages, types and temperaments over the last 35 years or so I consider myself fairly experienced in caring for them. My husband and myself now share our home with our own Norwegian Forest cats ranging from sixteen to four years old. As previous hobby breeders we have had the joy of kittens from birth up to their fourteenth week before we took them to their new homes, This has also given us a large extended feline family as their owners (and us๐) love to keep in touch ๐ธ As a cat lover and carer of both rescue and pedigree cats I think I have a good empathy with cats and an understanding of their individual needs. As well as feeding, litter checking and cleaning and grooming if needed I am also happy to give pills and or injections. Cuddles and playtime ( if wanted!) are also something I'm keen to do, anything that helps your cat to feel happy at home without you. It goes without saying that you will be updated as much as you wish on how they are doing while you are away. ( admittedly my video skills are amateur...but I will.always do my best !) If wished, plant watering, grocery shopping for your return etc can of course also be discussed and arranged when I first meet you and your furry friend or friends :-)
Any questions feel free to contact me and thank you for taking the time to read this far ๐๐ธ
Experienced cat owner, cat cuddler and caregiver. Would love to look after all your furbabies needs so that you can enjoy some much needed time away to relax and unwind.

Market HarboroughWonderful person, very attentive and empathetic with our cat, Val put in a lot of time to play and cuddle with our cat, and provided many (high quality) video updates of her interaction with our cat. I cannot recommend Val more highly!

Market HarboroughThe Fab Four were very well looked after by Val. Daily communication/updates/videos while we were away-reassuring to see they were happy and being so well cared for. Val was more than happy to visit before our booking too to make sure the Fab Four were comfortable with her. Would highly recommend Val to look after your fur babies ๐ป๐ป๐ป๐ป

Market HarboroughVal looked after our two very well - the cats were perfectly relaxed throughout as we could see on the videos Val sent us. She sent messages (incl photos) at each visit which is great for us - very reassuring. Val communicates well and always responds promptly. We would definitely recommend her & will be asking her to do more cat sitting for us :-)

.Val was wonderful with my cat. She came to visit him beforehand and got familiar with his routines. Val sent lovely photos and videos of her and my cat playing which was reassuring. You can tell Val really cares for cats and spends meaningful time with them. I would definitely use Val again in the future and would highly recommend her.

Abby M
Market HarboroughWe always worry about leaving our little girl when we go away but we neednโt have worried. We couldnโt have hoped for someone more caring and loving to look after Sasha. Val visited her twice a day, and spent a lot of time fussing and playing with her. Val sent lots of photos & videos daily and put our minds at complete rest. V.highly recommend!
-
Jenna B

Kimberley K
MARKET HARBOROUGHVal looked after my three furry family members for a week and really took the time to get to know the cats before our holiday to understand what each character was like. She really puts her love for animals into what she does, spending time playing and sending updates in your absence. Highly recommend Val to anyone looking for a animal sitter!
-
Nicola R

We loved seeing the updates and found it reassuring. Thank you for keeping Bowie happy!

Isobel E

-
Peter W
Market HarboroughVal looked after out two cats for a fortnight. Communication was excellent before, during and after our holiday. It was lovely to see the cats relating so well to Val and we are happy we made the right decision choosing a cat sitter rather than putting them in a cattery.
-
Kirsty s
Market HarboroughVal was absolutely amazing, she came round to meet us before we went away, it was nice that she took the time to do that. We felt very comfortable with her and had no problems leaving the key to our house with Val for future cat sitting duties! We got regular updates and photos of our kitties whilst we were away x

Pip C
.We hadnt used a cat sitter before and we are so glad we found Val. Our two cats warmed to her the moment they met, and from various videos and photos sent to us everyday while we were away (which we loved!), they both enjoyed Val's visits and we could really relax knowing they were in safe hands. Val spent a nice amount of time with them too, so it was more than a visit to simply put their food down. Excellent, quick communication throughout too, everything was left super clean and tidy & we returned to two very happy cats. Would definitely recommend Val!
-
Marie E
Market HarboroighVal, was extremely reliable. Quick to contact me to arrange a pre visit and excellent communication during and after the sitting. I loved receiving photographs and videos of my two boys! They have really taken to Val too. Having cuddles and playing with Val. The boys were very happy and relaxed, as was I with Val taking care of my cats.
Thank you so much Val!

.I would highly recommend Val. Even my scared cat loved her which was amazing. Val came around beforehand to visit meet my two cats, collect the keys and test they worked etc. While I was away, she sent regular updates both by video and message.

-
Ellie B
Market HarboroughVal has been absolutely amazing! At short notice, she managed to fit in my shy girl Isla and has been great. Val took the time to meet Isla before I left, and to work with her to make sure she was comfortable and really came out her shell whilst I was away. Val has so much knowledge of cats and their temperaments, I felt truly confident in her. She kept me up to date with lots of photos and videos, and the house was left perfect for my return. Couldnโt recommend her enough! Thanks again Val,
Ellie and Isla x

Sasha B
Great Bowden, Market HarboroughVal has been amazing. Since getting a cat in lockdown I had never left my little boy before but Val was so kind, he had a great time and I completely relaxed on holiday with all the updates. She is 10000% trustworthy and was not phased when my travel plans changed last minute. I will absolutely be using Val again, my cat will not want anyone else but her!
-
Mandy R
LEICSThe second time we've had Val look after Rosie. After the first time we knew that Val was our obvious choice. Val looked after and put our Rosie at ease. Rosie is 17 years old and can be quite timid. Val has such a way with her. She gave her medication and lots of play and cuddles. Val kept us regularly updated with photos and video messages on WhatsApp. This made our trip away so much better. We love our cat very much and hate to leave her but Val made a huge difference. When we returned home Rosie appeared to be more than happy.. In the past she would send us to Coventry after trips away. She obviously approves of our choice of cat sitter. In fact I'd say Rosie now has a favourite Aunty Val ๐ป๐ป๐ป

Zoe C
Market HarboroughVal was a wonderful cat sitter for my two furbabies. Sheโs a brilliant communicator and sent regular updates including pictures and videos. I felt very relaxed on my holiday knowing they were being so well looked after! I would 100% recommend Val and my cats are already looking forward to my next holiday so Val can come visit again!!
-
DONOHOE D
Market HarboroughAnother great service from Val. Thanks so much!
-
Donna S
.As always, Val is an absolute star with my fur babies and I can rest easy whilst I'm away. I feel so happy they no longer have to go into a cattery, which they hate, and can enjoy their home comforts instead whilst I'm away. Getting daily pics and updates puts my mind even more at rest. Absolutely 100% recommend Val :)
-
DONOHOE D
Market HarboroughVal was an excellent cat sitter who looked after our two kittens like they were her own. She gave then lots of attention and playtime and kept us up to date with lots of photos and videos. I highly recommend her and will definitely use her again!
-
Rose F
Market HarboroughVal was great. She went above and beyond for my boys and they really loved her (which is funny because they don't usually like anyone!). She sent photos every day and made me feel that my cats were in safe hands.
-
Kim r
.Val was great whilst we were away - she looked after our cats so well and sent us photos and videos so that we knew they were okay, which we loved. She went over and beyond to make sure they were both happy (playing with them, cuddling them) - Iโm not sure they even missed us! Thanks Val, we would definitely recommend you.
-
Bradley
.This is the 2nd time Val has come and looked after our little terrors for the weekend and we would highly recommend her! Thank you so much and i love the photos you send over to keep us updated.
-
Donna S
.So happy with the service provided by Val. It's a relief to know the cats are in their own environment being looked after by someone that genuinely loves cats. Val makes the extra effort to stay and play with the cats rather than just coming in, feeding them and then leaving. Would definitely recommend and will be booking her again for our next holiday. 10/10.
-
Lianne M
.Val has been fantastic with our cat who has been diagnosed with a heart condition. She has to have x2 tablets twice a day and this has been no problem for Val at all. As she has her own cats and is very experienced in all sorts of cat-care needs, Val is happy to give the tablets and we have been able to go away feeling assured that Monkey is in great hands! We also love getting the daily updates and lovely photos while we are away :) Thanks, Val!
-
Mandy R
LEICSVal was brilliant. She was booked to look after our two 15 year old Girls. One of which Val was more than happy to medicate 2 x per day. Sadly and unexpectedly one of our girls Kitty had to be put to sleep the day before we were off for 3 nights to visit my daughter. Val went over and above for Rosie, Kitty's sister and spent time with her and kept her company and played with our poor sad Rosie. Rosie was looked after very well. Val sent us messages and videos and photos over WhatsApp. Rosie is a shy timid old puss and normally avoids people she doesn't know, however she made firm friends with Val. We can't thank Val enough for the way she cared for our Rosie at such a sad time. We shall definately have Val care for Rosie again. We are more than pleased
-
Lianne M
.Val was absolutely brilliant! It's clear how much she loves cats and how knowledgeable she is about their well-being. We felt very comfortable knowing she would be looking after Monkey, our little fur baby. She sent regular updates and each visit was significant in length so that Monkey got plenty of time for cuddles and play. We will definitely be booking again. Thanks, Val!
-
Mark P
.Val was an absolutely wonderful sitter for our boy even though he can be quite demanding. We met up before we left to cover all the details and information and Val kept us well updated with pictures and videos. He was well looked after in terms of attention and Val even brought along some additional toys to keep him happy and entertained. We would definitely recommend Val as a sitter and will definitely be using her again in future.
