About Me

Friendly and reliable pet care based in Chichester

Hi,

I'm Violet and I'm a pet sitter based in central Chichester. I've had my own small pet sitting business for 3 years and in this time I've had the opportunity to look after cats for both long and short stays. I have gained particular experience in looking after elderly and more nervous cats. I'm happy to provide one or more drop in visits per day for feeding, cleaning, play time, company or cuddles tailored to your cat.

I really enjoyed volunteering at the Cat and Rabbit Rescue Centre in Siddlesham for several years. During this time, I gained a wide range of experiences in cat, rabbit and guinea pig care and got to spend lots of time with the animals at the centre.

I've been a volunteer dog walker through Borrow My Doggy for the last several years and I also have my own rescue yorkie, Beck. I've had the opportunity to regularly look after pets in their own home with and without their owner present and have cared for pets overnight in their own home.

I can offer very flexible pet care from a regular arrangement to adhoc, emergency/last-minute cover or holiday cover. At the moment, I am limited to 1 night stays due to my own pets.

Cuddles, play time, company, mealtimes, medication and/or cleaning- tailored to what your pet needs and loves.

I have particular experience in looking after elderly and more nervous pets.

I hold a current valid DBS certificate and I'm insured.

    Violet did an amazing job taking care of my cat and guinea pigs! She’s reliable, caring, and kept me updated with photos and messages. My pets were happy and well-cared for when I got home. Highly recommend her to anyone needing a trustworthy sitter!

    I honestly cannot recommend Violet highly enough. I get so worried leaving our 4 cats when we go away but since we have found Violet I don't! They really like her, even our nervous one comes out, and we get great pictures. I trust Violet completely and it really makes our holiday stress free! Thank you Violet from us & Buffy,Merlin,Neville&Moon

    Violet was absolutely wonderful! It was very reassuring to know that my rather frisky and nervous cat would be well taken care of by her. She kept me updated each day so I never had to worry while I was away. I highly recommend Violet and will be booking her again soon. Thank you, Violet!

    As previously, we returned to a relaxed cat who merely blinked at us, gave a brief purr and carried on dozing! We'd wholeheartedly recommend Violet to any cat family.

    Violet was amazing, very professional throughout and got on with our cats immediately. We were very nervous as it was the first time leaving our cats for so long but Violet reassured us and gave us regularly updates while we were away. The house was clean and tidy on our return and the girls were happy and well fed when we returned! Thank you!

    Violet is amazing, she cat sat for us at such last minute and was wonderful with communication and looking after our four. One of our cats has never let anyone except my partner and I cuddle him but he loves fuss and love from Violet. Say no more! I always ask Violet to cat sit and I always will!

    Violet was excellent and our cat took to her straight away. Nothing was too much trouble and we received reassuring messages and photos. We will not hesitate to book with Violet again and recommend her 100%. Thank you Violet.

    Yet again Violet has been a wonderful carer of our four cats when we were away. Our youngest cat is just under 6 months old and I don't think I would have left her if I hadn't been so pleased with how lovely and reliable Violet was with our other cats earlier in the year. We highly recommend Violet.

    Violet was very responsive and reliable. Our cat seemed very taken with her immediately and we came home to a very happy and well looked after boy. Would certainly recommend Violet and happily have her cat sit again.

    We returned home to a contented, if puzzled, cat; where was her Violet? Next trip away we'd all certainly want Violet.

    Our cats loved Violet as soon as she came over, and they're normally a bit shy!! Violet was really lovely and very reliable, she sent us great pictures of the cats when we were away. I'll definitely be using Violet every time we go away now.

    Violet was the perfect sitter, followed all pet care requirements and provided me with regular updates. I struggle to trust people with my pets, but Violet is one person I can always rely on to provide the best care for my pets if I ever go away. Thank you!

    Violet was an amazing sitter, from first messages, to meeting my pets, to the standards of care. I was so nervous to leave my pets for the first time, but Violet instantly put my mind at ease. She was incredibly reliable, friendly and had such a gift with animals that my pet that was initially scared, felt comfortable enough to go on her lap after one visit! She always provided lovely updates which gave me peace of mind that my pets were happy and taken care of. I would highly recommend Violet if you're looking for a pet sitter. Thank you! :)
