About me

Registered Veterinary Nurse · Milan & London

My name is Camilla, and I am a Registered Veterinary Nurse originally from Milan, Italy.

I have loved cats for as long as I can remember, ever since my family adopted a shy stray cat from our local shelter. That experience inspired me to pursue a career in veterinary nursing and dedicate my work to caring for animals.

Since qualifying as an RVN in 2019, I have gained experience across a variety of clinical settings, including first-opinion practice, charities, and a feline specialist clinic.

In 2024, I launched my cat sitting business in South East London, specialising in the care of cats with medical and additional needs. I truly enjoy providing compassionate, personalised care and look forward to meeting many more purrfect felines and their owners!

What I offer:

  • •Bespoke cat sitting services, including feeding, grooming, playing and enrichment with consideration of your cat's normal routine and preferences.
  • •Drop-in visits, overnight stays or 24-hour care.
  • •Particular focus on cats with medical or additional care needs.
  • •Daily picture or video updates and regular communication.
  • •Administering medication and preventative healthcare treatments.
  • •Nail clipping.
  • •Fully insured and DBS checked.
