About Me
Cat fosterer, Cat sitter and Feline Welfare assistant
I have been cat sitting since 2016 and enjoy meeting and building relationships with the cats I have been entrusted with. I have a range of experiences ranging from giving cats their medication to a cat experiencing separation anxiety when her human friend goes away on trips.
I cater for both the physical and emotional well-being of each cat. I enjoy giving cats playtime, strokes and attention depending on the need of each cat. For the shy and timid cats, I am happy to go at their pace and will respect the cat's need for personal space.
I have been entrusted with breeds including Persians, Maine Coon and Norwegian Forest.
I am happy to give your cat a brush provided the cat is comfortable for me to do so.
Will attend to litter tray(s) at each visit.
You will receive updates including photos and videos during and/ or after each visit.
I am a trusted key holder and will ensure your property is secure before leaving after each visit.
ABOUT ME
I have been fostering cats since 2011 through a local cat charity. I am fortunate to have a dedicated foster room for pregnant and nursing mums and their kittens.
I also work part time professionally at a Cats Re-Homing Centre in London, dealing with a wide range of cats.
I have a Distinction* in City and Guilds Level 2 Animal Care.
I look forward to meeting you and finding out all about your precious cat(s).
Happy to water houseplants.
Caring for our garden visitors and wildlife.
I am happy to provide fresh water for any garden drinking stations and replenish food for garden wildlife and visitors, including cleaning garden bowls and dishes too.

.Vanda has looked after our two boys for many years now, with care love and attention to their well being whilst we are away. She provides us with daily videos and pictures to show us how well looked after they are, she is a very trustworthy sitter and nothing is too much for her to ensure we come home to happy boys.

CroydonMeow meow, meow meow meow meow. This was Taiyou's official review. Translating from cat, Vanda gave the best pets and loved to play, and Taiyou looked forward to every visit. We humans loved the photos Vanda sent to us, showcasing an unambiguously delighted kitty. Vanda made sure to attend to all of Taiyou's needs/kneads. Thanks Vanda!

.Vanda has as always looked after the boys with love and attention, she sends you daily pics and videos , always has their welfare and care as priority, we came home to happy boys who were well cared for and loved in our absence. Vanda took on instructions to leave the odd light on and how to dispose of anything in keeping the home clean ! ❤️

CroydonVanda is the most amazing woman! Mia was the most content she's ever been when I've been away, I literally had no fears whatsoever, received videos and photos everyday and came home to Mia's coat the best it's looked in years!

South CroydonVanda is just fantastic. She has been our cat sitter for quite some time now and is always great with communication and you can tell she cares about the cats. We are moving out of the area and are upset to be losing Vanda as our cat sitter, she’s going to be hard to beat!
-
Sivan N
South CroydonVanda was great! Friendly and thorough, she took notes and communicated well. She spent time with my playful cat and left the space-loving cat to herself, just checking in on her. You can tell Vanda loves cats and knows them really well. Thank you Vanda - it was a pleasure :)

.Vanda was fab as usual, my mind is at rest whilst we’re away as I know she has it all under control and Lily will be happy when we return. She always gives you a comprehensive update and you know that she’s spent some time fussing over him. Very happy and happy to know that she will be looking after him again in August.
-

Leonie P
South CroydonVanda is so so lovely. Its important to get someone that looks after your cat but also that you trust in your home. Vanda went above and beyond for me, even hoovering up the cat hair that my long haired cat sheds because i was having viewings in my property while away! She understands the value of just being there each day so a cat isnt lonely - Even though my cat isn’t very good with strangers! The perfect cat sitter and communicated each day for my peace of mind - Second time of using Vanda and won’t be the last. Thank you!

She is comfortable completing all aspects of his care : feeding, giving medications, cleaning the litter box, and keeping him company.

Lauren
.Vanda was the ideal cat sitter! She was kind and polite, great with my cat Chip (who warmed to her immediately although he's usually very shy). Vanda provided toys and played with him on her visits. She sent us detailed updates and pictures, which were wonderful for us!
Even better, when Vanda was unsure if we'd returned home she offered to come over and feed Chip on an extra day to make sure that he wasn't left without food.
I couldn't fault Vanda, she was fab and I will certainly be using her again.
-

-
Charlotte Dixon
.Vanda was amazing. Really patient with the cats which was so nice to see as they're really timid meeting new people. We came home to find 2 very happy cats who had had lots of playtime, as well as heir food and water changed, bowls washed each day etc. We received daily updates and photos which was great and she even kept hold of the key until she knew we were safely home, despite this meaning an extra trip round to the house. Would highly recommend Vanda and hope she's available every time we go on our hols!
