Hello, My name is Valentina, I am from Italy and I have lived in Southampton since 2020. I work as a full-time researcher at the University and in my free time I enjoy doing yoga, wildlife watching and care for my garden. I love all animals, also the unloved ones. I absolutely adore cats and grew up with lots of them (I adopted 5 cats so far, the last one is my little furry baby, Lucky). I have volunteered for cat shelters and cared for both kittens and elderly cats, and also semi-feral cats. If you choose me as a pet sitter, I would be very happy to drop in once or twice per day to take care of your cat(s). Besides sorting out the basics (dry and/or wet food, clean or change the litter) I will also stay and make sure that your cat(s) do not feel lonely. I have a lineup of games for the most energetic ones (hide and seek, who is the bigger cat) and also my cats always referred to me as a professional cuddler. If your cat is shy, I will be very respectful and just stay with them from distance for a while, to make sure they are ok and still get some company. Looking forward to meeting your cats!
