Cat Sitting High Peak

“Josie was a fantastic minder for my cat Poppy. She took endless notes when she first visited, so I was very confident. She sent daily updates and pictures whilst we were away, and it was lovely to see our normally cautious cat respond to her so positively. Thank you Josie!”

About: I stay local to the Chinley area and only take one dog out at a time, or more if the dogs live together. My experience with pets includes having worked at a dog rescue centre, where I cared for dogs of all ages, and sizes — from nervous newcomers to high energy pups. It was hard not to take them all home! I have hands-on experience with walking, basic training, and building trust with dogs who need extra patience and love. Whether it’s a playful puppy or a senior in need of gentle care, I find out their unique needs from the owners and help them feel safe, calm, and happy. I am highly experienced with cat care and have looked after horses also. I will show love to any pet that needs a bit of time from me. I work from home so can come to look after your pet before I start work at 8 and after I finish work at 5, I can also call in at lunch and in the evenings. I have Friday afternoons free also. Im from Chinley and stay within a close distance of the village. I treat your home with the same care and respect I give your pet. I follow your instructions closely, maintain a calm, clean environment, and keep doors, windows, and routines secure for your pet’s safety. I stay attentive to any changes in behaviour or health and always keep you updated, so you can feel confident and at ease while you're away.

About: I’ve always had dogs growing up, mainly German shepherds, Rottweilers and even tiny dogs like Cavapoos and jack Russell’s, I spend my spare time going on new adventures with my own dog Darcy, I’ve only just started my business but I excel in new challenges like basic training, working on recall and lead pulling so you and your dog can then go on amazing adventures together. Working with puppies is something I’ve always wanted to do aswell as they can pick things up so much quicker and who wouldn’t want to spend there time playing with puppies. I’m currently working Part time so il have loads of time to spend with your animals, which will include fun walks, cuddles and lots of treats. Your animals will be spoilt and will be treated as if they were my own, morning and evening walks for your fur babies, if it’s just cats then it will include playing around the house with toys, plenty of cuddles and affection. They will never be left for longer than 3-4 hours Il be offering pet sitting at owners homes so will follow all instructions that you leave for your fur babies to be looked after, whether that’s daily medication at specific times, vet visits, il make sure we stick to your animals normal routines so they don’t feel too much of a change, they’ll be treated as if they were my own animals and will get lots of attention and mental stimulation

About: Taken care of dogs for over 13 years.. cocker spaniels, labs, goldens retrievers and more. From playing, walking and just sitting with them, I love it. Looked after a couple of cats for 3 years whilst at uni too so happy to look after any furry friend. I'm currently managing a few health issues whilst finishing my university dissertation remotely and otherwise currently very much available to look after your pet! Week days and weekends are equally free for short or extended periods in my current circumstances so please reach out if you're after a sitter or just after someone to pop in to feed, let-out or walk your dog(s)/cat(s)!! Currently at home I'll feed, walk and pet Zoe (my dog). She's getting a bit old so I make sure to keep on top of her meds and keep the door into the garden open for her to roam freely if she needs the toilet or just a sniff and explore around the garden. If at other homes, I'll practice the same level of care and attention needed as well as plenty of walks whilst typing up my dissertation with any mini breaks I can find during their naps. I'm very outdoorsy so walking the dog(s) close to home or driving to be further a field in the hills or the beach to explore is all on the table :) Will find plenty of time for them as I can mostly work around other commitments at the moment.

About: I have looked after several friend and family members’ dogs and cats whilst they have gone away on holiday, either staying in their home or dropping in for visits. For the last 4 years I have volunteered at an animal assisted intervention organisation, which takes dogs and small animals to schools and hospitals for outreach visits. This involves assessing the animals body language, responding to their cues and ensuring they are relaxed and comfortable. I believe this would be a vital skill for looking after your pet. When I lived in Edinburgh, I worked with a charity that volunteers to walk people’s dogs who find it difficult to get out and keep their dog exercised. I love hiking, getting out in nature and seeing dogs enjoy the outdoors too. I volunteer on a Monday and Friday, for a full or half day depending on the week, however I have lunch free. Outreaches finish at 4 at the latest, so I would be available after this to feed, exercise or play with your pet, and stay overnight if needed. On other days, my commitments are small and take an hour or two out of my day at most. I am flexible - I can stay in your home full time, drop by for shorter periods, and/or stay overnight. Just detail what best suits you and I will endeavour to meet your pet’s needs.

About: I’ve taken care of a number of dogs and cats over the years as well as done drop in visits for exotic animals! I started off walking neighbours dogs alongside my family dog, as well as dropping in to feed animals and give them loads of love! I also have experience caring for animals with illnesses who need additional care and medication. I babysit in the evenings and clean early in the morning, but the rest of my day can be dedicated to caring for, walking, and looking after any animals :) I have my own indoor cat who I love dearly and is extremely spoiled!! I am a kind and caring animal person who loves to ensure all animals are safe and happy! Any needs your animal may have I can adjust to, making sure they get their needs met alongside all the lovings!!!

“Megan was amazing with my new puppy during her puppy drop in visits. She sat with her and implemented the same commands that I told her I had been using . She made sure the house was secured upon exiting and my puppy would forward to her coming in. Thanks again Megan”

About: I’ve spent most of my life around animals and have experience caring for a variety of pets, including two brother cats, a hamster, fish, and dogs. I currently have a Shih Tzu–Maltese cross named Charlie, whom I regularly take on walks. I’m also passionate about the outdoors and enjoy hiking and walking, making the most of my time outside whenever possible. I am mainly available to work weekday evenings and weekends during the day. I’m happy to take animals on walks, including longer walks depending on their needs, and provide companionship and care while sitting with them. I enjoy giving dogs plenty of attention, including playtime and affection when they’re feeling energetic. I always keep a close eye on their behaviour and wellbeing, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and properly supervised at all times. I make sure feeding routines, exercise, and care instructions are followed carefully, including administering treats responsibly where appropriate. I’m also confident managing dogs on walks, maintaining control in different environments, and adapting to each dog’s individual temperament and needs. If they get a little dirty, I’m happy to help clean and groom them using the resources available.

“Paige has been an absolute superstar with Cheddar and Skittle. The fact that they warmed to her so quickly is a testament to her kind and gentle nature, she truly understood their personalities and tended to their individual needs. We didn’t worry about them once and her detailed pet cards were both a source of entertainment and a much needed source of relief being away from our pets! I can’t recommend her highly enough. Thankyou for everything Paige! Xx”

About: As an experienced pet lover, what sets me apart is my lifelong love for animals. From dogs/cats to horse and birds. With years of helping friends with their pets, I offer not just a service, but genuine care and understanding for your furry companions. My passion and dedication ensure your pet receives the love, attention, and familiarity they deserve while you're away. During the petsitting or walk you will receive some photos to make sure they are having a great time. I’m currently work part time. So I’m available in the afternoon and at night everyday. And some days in the morning, please, ask about the availability. I will be happy to spend some time being a great company to your pet while you are out of home. We can go for a walk, just chill or play. You will receive photos during this time, to be sure that he/she is having a great time.

About: I have grown up with family pets including horses, fish, birds, hamsters and mostly dogs! I was a regular Borrow My Doggy walker and have provided overnight dog sitting for family and friends. Dogs I have cared for and grown up with include cairn terrier, lurcher, cockapoo, beagle, mixed breed. A year ago I rescued my first cat Willow from the RSPCA and have never looked back! She's been the best addition to our family. My main job is a registered nurse. I've been a cancer/palliative care nurse for 26 years so if you're looking for someone who is thoughtful, caring, reliable and trustworthy that's just who I am. My availability will be mostly ad hoc on my days off and holidays. I work to a monthly rota in my main job as a registered nurse so pet drop ins, walks and sitting will fit in around this. *Message me for dates from August '26 onwards - current availability released for April, May, June and July* I will be guided by you and care for your pets as you would; how you manage their behaviour, walking on or off the lead, feeding, cleaning and providing love and attention. I will also respect and care for your home during drop ins and overnight stays. I have always stood by the saying, "treat others as you would want to be treated yourself".

“I highly recommend Angela, as she took such great care of my two pets (1 cat, 1 dog) whilst I was away for 2 weeks over the Christmas period. From the start, I appreciated the time Angela took to get to know them beforehand, with the bonus of coming on a walk with me with my dog to be fully prepared. With my cat being a Bengal (who needs a lot of attention), and my dog being reactive to other dogs (due to a trauma event) - Angela handled both really well, and reassured me with her daily check ins. It was the longest I had left them, but I had no need to worry - and came back to two very happy animals! Thanks again Angela :)”

“Dulcie did a great job doing a couple of drop in visits to feed our two cats while we were away for the weekend. She made sure they had everything they needed and was quick in responding to messages. Thanks very much!”

About: I have had experience with dogs since 2 years old, I have trained various dogs and assisted in taking caring of family and friends dogs. I have experience, feeding, caring and bathing pets. I work Monday - Friday. 9 till 5. I can do morning or evening drop ins or walks and weekends I can board pets. They will be cared for as if they are my own. I have a gated large garden which is secure, we own one chocolate labrador, she is 11 years old and is super friendly and good with all dogs and cats.

About: I've grown up with dogs ever since I was a baby. I currently have a 3 month old pup and two family dog who live with my mum (one of which is a lockdown pup) & they are my world. Walks, cuddles and play time are my favourite. I'm that person who will pay more attention to the dog walking past then the person. I have a working from home role so I am able to come and go as I please or schedule in walks when needed. This also means I can move my working space to somewhere suitable. My own pup gets a few walks throughout the day and lots of cuddles, so I will always work around to make sure they don't loose out also. I moved to manchester (glossop) from southampton in may 2023. Unfortunately luna and darcey are family dogs (luna is my weimaraner in my profile photo) so they have remained at home with my parents and siblings. However.....we have recently got our own fur baby, hunter who is the weimaraner pup in my photos. He is so wonderfully behaved with the sweetest nature. He is great. I still have so much free time on my hands and wanted to extend this to pub sitting, walking and cuddles. I intend to give the fur babies as much love and protection as I would with my own so please do drop me a message if you have any questions or want to arrange a walk 🐶🥰

About: Experience with small, and large dogs. Have owned breeds including Fila Brasilero’s, Great Danes, and Dobermans, as well as smaller breeds. Have experience training obedience. Have volunteered within multiple kennels for several years, as well as currently working in a rescue and rehabilitation kennels. So I am used to rescue dogs also. I also two dogs of my own, a 7 year old Golden Retriever and a 4 year old Doberman, both are dog and human friendly! i work short hours at a dog rescue close-by, however I am able to move around shifts to be able to be home for your dog if necessary! We take walks to the beach regularly and sometimes I book out a private field for my pooches, happy to also take yours along also, as well as often going on longer hikes if this is what your dog likes!

“I would highly recommend Ella. She is super responsive, provides regular updates and Eric loves spending time with her.”

About: Ever since i was little i have always owned and been around dogs. I have always adored them and think they deserve the world. I have trained Border Collies from the puppy stage all the way to adulthood. It’s hard but hard work pays off! From lead training to obedience to recall. We’ve also had our own Jack Russells who can be hard to train as-well! They're both a working breed so require a lot more time put into them and their mind stimulated so I'm not afraid of hard work with your furry friends! Recently ive took the leap to make this my full time job along with my own dog walking business called Heathcotes Cloud K9 (on facebook and now on google) so will have plenty of time plus the weekend for your pets. Just enquire and I'm sure with no doubt i can fit you in! Your pet could even join in the fun during my time pet sitting them. I have my own border collie who is a working dog so i know how it can be with dogs regarding trust and safety. We can always take things slow if you have any nervous animals i am very patient and understanding. I will always meet your animals needs.

“This was our first time using Rover and Elizabeth and we were extremely happy with her service. We I’ll definitely be using her again. She took wonderful photos and our Freddie was obviously well looked after”

About: Hello, my name is Ella, I am a keen animal lover!! I often visit friends just to spend time with their dogs and cats! Growing up, me and my Nana's dog Charlie spent a lot of time together on the beach. He would actually only go in the sea if I went in first! I have lived with Cats for the past 8 years and was the No1 pet sitter on my street growing up. I love building a bond with animals as they have so much love this share and it's like you are communicating on another level. I work as an Arts and Horticulture Facilitator with lots of different people including vulnerable young people so have a full DBS check with no criminal record. I pride myself on being trustworthy, kind and caring. I look forward to meeting and taking care of your gorgeous little babies and keeping them safe while your are away. I am a freelancer so can often stay with your animals so they get lots of attention from me. Or I can visit them Inbetween my work. I will take things at the pase your animal prefers and we will get to know each other and hopefully become close. I am happy to give your pet as much space or as much love as they want. As well as giving your animal some food and a lot of attention I'll change litter trays, give treats and brush your pets if they enjoy that. I can also give tablets where they can be put into their food, but I would need to discuss administer pills by hand. I'm happy to collect your post, water and check plants while you're away. If there are any other odd jobs in the house I can do to give you peace of mind, I'm happy to discuss this with you - just let me know! Also I can send updates and pictures too.
