About Me

Cat Sitter Extrodinaire

I'm Violet, 39 year old Canadian ex-pat in London. I'm a secondary school History teacher and in my spare time I moonlight as a cat sitter around Tooting and sometimes Balham. I’ve been cat sitting for the past 7 years.

I currently have my 14 year-old cat, her name is Daisy and she is the apple of my eye :) She's an indoor cat and travelled with me from Canada when I relocated to London in 2014, has lived in the UAE, Belgium and is now back in London! I come from a family of cat-lovers (mum has one, cousins, etc) and previously owned 2 cats myself-a playful boy along with my shy girl Daisy. I was also a volunteer for local cat rescue group in Dubai.

I am super attentive to kitty needs and as an owner of a cat with anxiety and previous digestive issues, I am comfortable giving medication and paying attention to your cat's health and well-being. Happy to help anyone needing a cat-sitter as I know from personal experience the importance of a good person to look after your cat while you're away on holidays.

I’m master cat cuddler- I can get even the shyest cat to eventually warm up to me... a bit of a cat whisperer if you will! Will give treats, lots of love and cuddles and will be sure to spend some time with the cat so they aren’t lonely while you’re away. The way I think of it is this: I do for clients what I would want a sitter to do for my cat.

    As always, Violet was great looking after Millie. Was such a relief to see the photos of Millie cuddling up to Violet and knowing she was well cared for while I was away. Would highly recommend and thanks again Violet!

    I recommend Violet highly. I was so anxious about leaving my two 1 year old kittens Bernard and Bianca for the first time, but Violet was incredible. Photos and videos twice daily, and even little Bianca who is the shyer of the two was having belly rubs after a couple of visits. Came home to a clean house and two happy little kittens. Thank you!!

    Violet was amazing! She took excellent care of our cat, Jazzy, and went above and beyond managing her tricky medication schedule and administration. Violet sent regular updates and lots of photos of our cat looking very happy and relaxed. She even had to deal with a small mouse gift. Highly recommend!

    Violet was great! She took time to come and meet my cats in advance and get to know their individual needs. We got lots of photos and updates whilst we were away which were really appreciated and we got home to 2 happy, well fed little kitties and a tidy flat. Totally recommend Violet as a sitter, we would happily book again with her in future.

    Violet was fantastic! This is the third time she’s looked after Millie for me - and she’s clearly completely won her over now. It was great to get the regular updates and to see how happy my girl was with Violet’s company. Would highly recommend. Thanks again for everything Violet!

    This is the second time violet has cat sat for my cat pippin. I felt 100% at ease knowing pippin would be well looked after when Violet comes for her visits. And pippin feels equally as comfortable (loves an extra play mate!)

    Violet did a fantastic job looking after Millie and managed to win her over very quickly. It was such a relief to get the daily updates and know that Millie was in such good hands. I came home to a happy and relaxed cat. :) Will definitely use Violet when I need to go away again. Thanks so much Violet!

    Violet was excellent at communicating while we were away and my mind was put at ease while on holiday. Our cats loved her, even our shy cat came out and let her pet him! She adapted to all our cats differently as per their needs. She is also friendly and personable. I would highly recommend her to anyone as a cat sitter!

    Pippin seemed to feel very comfortable around violet from the get go, which made me relax about leaving pippin(it's the first time I've used this website, having only used people already known to me previously). Violet made me feel at ease knowing pippin was being well looked after. I came home to a happy and relaxed cat.

    Violet did a great job looking after my two cats, including dealing with the stress of a very shy cat. Her updates were much appreciated and she really wanted to make sure they were happy and eating properly.

    I came home to two happy relaxed cats.

    Violet is and amazing cat sitter.

    She made sure that Lucy was well taken care of even though she is a very grumpy cat. I received updates and photos everyday and she was quite happy to change the visit patterns to make Lucy more comfortable, who was getting more stressed buy the day, showing signs of separation anxiety and territorial aggressiveness. Lucy is a rescue and doesn't like strangers but I felt at ease due to Violet's positive attitude.

    Violet is super nice, she also gave me some recommendations and tips to help my baby. She definitely cares about your pet wellbeing.

    Highly recommended:)

    Violet was brilliant. We were nervous about leaving our cat but Violet was great and sent us loads of photos and videos of him, so we knew he was well looked after! There was great communication up to the visit too. We'll definitely look to book Violet again.

    We (and our cat; Bee) were very happy with Violet. She gave regular updates and Bee was far, far happier than if we had taken her to a cattery. We would welcome Violet back again and recommend her to anyone else.
