Cat Sitting in Manchester

“Phoebe looked after my cat for a few days while I was away.. She followed my specific instructions and her communication was great throughout the stay. I especially appreciated the regular updates, which gave me peace of mind while I was traveling.”

About: I grew up surrounded by animals in a pet loving home and have experience looking after a variety of pets. I have loved many dogs, cats, birds and bunnies as members of the family. If you have pets other than dogs in the household that could also use some care or company during the day I'm also available to drop-in on them. Feel free to message me with any questions or queries or for a quote. I have previously completed a CPD certified course in Emergency First Aid for Dogs and other small animals. This certificate and training were updated as of November 2023. I took a break from professional pet care for a number of years to care for my parents and am so excited to get started again and get to know all of the lovely pets around the city. At home I have a 8 year old Chihuahua called Maxi. I understand how important it is to leave your dog in the care of someone you can trust, so I'd be happy to arrange a free meet and greet/trial walk before your first booking, where we can also further discuss you and your furry friend's individual needs. I am offering dog walks/drop ins part time around my training as a circus artist. I specialised in juggling at the National Centre for Circus Arts. After completing my degree in 2020 I can say I am extremely competent at fetch! Previous to this I was a full time dog walker. I keep my calendar up to date so you always be able to see far in advance any unavailable days. I will of course keep you informed of upcoming availability if you decide to book regularly. I only walk dogs from the same household. I believe this offers the best experience for dogs in terms of individual attention and enrichment, in addition to safety.

About: Hi! I’m Jess I have grown up around animals and have had the pleasure of owning two cats in my own flat up until recently. I have experience with paid dog walking and dog sitting for up to 1 week for up to 2 dogs at a time in my flat, including Chihuahuas, a Miniature Pinscher and Shih Tzus. This included regular walks, toilet break and regular play times! I am happy to adapt to your pets style of living as I allow cats and dogs on my furniture. I enjoy driving to the countryside for walks and feel it would be great to take a dog along for a walk for the day! I am prepared to spend evenings and weekends walking/housesitting dogs or cats and am reliable and can always be contacted. Currently I work full time, working Tuesday - Thursday in the office. I am usually out of the house from 8:20-18:00 on these days. I work from home every Friday and have Saturday/Sundays free. I do have flexibility with my work from home days so I can see about adjusting my schedule to your pets needs. Happy to work from home at a house sitting and keep your pet company during the day or evening! I offer house sitting services alongside regular pop in visits. As I have my own cat, I can no longer house animals in my own home but am happy to house sit and care for cats or dogs in your own home! This includes emptying cat litter trays, frequent daily visits, sleepovers, taking dogs for regular walks, cleaning up furballs etc. I do have a travel basket for dogs to be clipped into my car too :)

“Sofie has started drop ins with my rescue dog Rita, and I can't recommend her highly enough. Rita has always been super anxious with people coming in the house, but she already loves Sofie after a couple of visits. That's testament to Sofie's patience and how much she cares about dogs.”

“Irene did a brilliant job watching my two cats. She communicated well, gave nice photo and written updates and both cats seemed to enjoy her company. She was also very kind and helpful especially when we had to unexpectedly add on an additional check in. Thanks so much, we’d be happy to book her again.”

About: Both my partner and I have been animal lovers all our lives! We've previously used borrowmydoggy, and we jump at any opportunity to mind, walk and play with our friends' pups! I owned 2 cats previously in my family home I work from home two days a week, and my partner is remote 95% of the time so we're really flexible with our schedules depending on what you need. I am also open to house sitting Thurs - Sunday where I can WFH and be available to your pet around the clock! We live in an apartment in Manchester City centre, which is very open plan. I will only take your dog on walks in areas which are pre-approved and follow any specific instructions for looking after your pet very precisely. For doggy day-care, I can provide round-the-clock car, and we have a couple of dog-friendly parks close by that we'd make full use of for any furry guests!

“A lovely, responsible sitter who gave regular updates of my monkeys. Despite them being a shy pair, Martha got them playing happily. Highly recommended!”

Emma M.

“Thank you so much to Elizabeth for taking care of Fleefer while we were away for Christmas. Elizabeth was amazing with Fleefer from day 1 and really got along well with her. The daily updates were amazing and we could really see how comfortable Fleefer was with Elizabeth, and I think she looked forward to every drop in visit! Elizabeth is very trustworthy and we would absolutely like her to come and take care of Fleefer again when we are away in future. Thank you!”

Joel B.

“Emily is amazing! My cat struggle with really bad separation anxiety and I was so scared of leaving her. But Emily really went above and beyond to make sure that my Gizmo was well taken care of. I cannot express my gratitude enough. 100% recommend.”

Juliah J.

“I would definitely recommend Molly if you are looking for a very reliable cat sitter. She obviously loves cats and communicated brilliantly whilst I was away with updates, videos and photos. My cat seemed very happy on my return. ”

David B.

“Elena was able to look after my two cats at very short notice and provided great service! I was updated regularly and could see that the cats were being very well cared for whilst I was away.”

Alisdair T.

“Sarah was very attentive and curious about Yvie and was in communication throughout my short trip away. Every instruction was followed and Yvie seemed to take to her from day 1. Super friendly and always responsive, I would highly recommend Sarah for your dog or cat. Thanks again!”

About: 👋🏻 Hi! I’m Kate. I'm based in Manchester (recently moved back after a 2 year gap travelling) in a dog friendly flat with my senior chihuahua, Louis. We have a large balcony and are nearby to lovely walks. 🐶 I have been professionally dog and cat sitting for over 11 years, including rescue dog volunteer experience at the Dogs Trust charity. I have extensive experience in caring for puppies, older dogs, dogs with behavioural difficulties and other animals, including cats and non-domestic farm animals. I am an animal lover and vegetarian of 14 years! 🌱 🏡 I work remotely from home, so my schedule is flexible and I'm able to provide a relaxed and comfortable experience for the animals I board. 🚶‍♀️I’ll start the morning off with a walk to the local park. I then come home and make breakfast. By this time, the dog/s I board are usually ready for a snooze, breaking up our regular short walks every 3-4 hours. I like to make sure the dogs I look after get fresh air and a chance to go to the loo regularly. Throughout the day my apartment is quiet, I have lots of soft toys and blankets for the dogs to get comfortable in. I also have an endless supply of Tripe and Dental sticks! 💛 Unfortunately I can't take dogs who are not housetrained or are extremely boisterous as my senior chihuahua is deaf and going blind so prefers more gentle / calm interactions I work remotely at home during the week, so I have time and flexibility throughout the day to go for long walks, have play time and more. I have a dog friendly home with dog beds, blankets, toys and treats. The area I live in is quite, dog friendly and has great walking routes. I also have a car so can take the dogs to larger parks and bigger walks.

About: I have been a devoted pet lover from a young age, growing up with two dogs — a Maltese and a Yorkshire Terrier — which gave me a deep understanding of canine behaviour and needs. I have also been a cat owner since 2023, caring for two beautiful cats, a Ragdoll and a Golden British Shorthair. This experience has taught me to understand different pet personalities and provide attentive, loving care. Friends and family have trusted me to look after their pets, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I take pride in keeping owners updated with regular photos and messages, so you can enjoy your time away with complete peace of mind. As a full-time pet sitter, I am available 7 days a week with no other work or study commitments. Your pet will receive my complete attention throughout the day. I will follow their usual feeding schedule, play with them regularly, and ensure they feel comfortable and settled in their own home environment. I provide care exclusively in your own home, which means your pet stays in a familiar and stress-free environment with all their favourite toys, bedding and routines. I treat every pet as my own, with the same love and attention I give to my two cats. I will keep all doors and windows secure, follow any specific instructions you leave, and send regular photo and video updates throughout the day so you always know your pet is happy and safe.

About: Hi! I'm a passionate animal lover who has grown up with both cats and dogs my entire life. Having always been surrounded by pets, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your furry family members. I recently moved from Australia to the UK, and one of the things I miss most is being around animals every day. Cat sitting and dog walking allows me to combine my love for animals with helping owners feel confident that their pets are happy, safe, and well cared for. I am comfortable caring for cats & dogs of all breeds, having owned my own cat and dog, and looked after many others over the years. My experience ranges from energetic kittens & puppies to older cats and dogs who need a little extra care and attention. I understand that animals can all have very different personalities and routines, and I enjoy taking the time to get to know each one so they feel comfortable, relaxed, and secure in my care. Whether it's long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply keeping your pet company while you're away, I'll treat them with the same love and attention I would give my own. I understand that every pet is unique, and I always aim to adapt my care to suit their individual personality, needs, and preferences. At the moment I am not working, so I have very good availability throughout the week as well as on weekends. I’m flexible with timings and happy to work around your needs, whether that’s daytime, evenings, or weekends. Pets are always treated like part of the family. I make sure they have a calm, safe, and comfortable environment where they can relax and feel at ease. I keep spaces clean, quiet, and pet-friendly, and I always follow the owner’s usual routine as closely as possible to help the pet feel secure and settled. When it comes to walks and outdoor time, I’m very lucky to have lots of green spaces and parks nearby, all within walking distance. This makes it easy to provide regular, enjoyable walks in safe, calm environments where pets can explore, play, and get plenty of exercise. If I’m caring for pets in the owner’s home, I’m always respectful of their space and routines. I follow all instructions carefully, whether that’s feeding schedules, walk times, medication, or preferred habits, and I make sure the pet feels comfortable in their familiar surroundings. Overall, my focus is always on giving each pet consistent care, attention, and affection so they feel safe, happy, and relaxed while their owner is away.

“Lucy was great from start to finish. Super attentive, helpful and good at communicating. Can’t recommend her more! Thanks Lucy!”

“Really happy with Valeria's service. She communicates well and our pup is always happy when we get home. He's also a crazy, teething, 5 month old large puppy so he's a handful and she manages him so well. Highly recommend.”

I'll always provide reliable care, regular updates, and plenty of attention tailored to your pet's individual needs. 🐾 I always aim to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care.

About: I've had pets the majority of my life, before moving for uni I lived with 3 cats, a dog, and two guinea pigs! As well as caring for my own pets, I was also responsible for walking my grandmothers dog during his final years when she was unable to keep up with what he needed for fitness. Looking after pets isn't just a chore in my eyes its enjoyable and I love learning animal's personalities! I'm currently a PhD student which means I have a lot of control over my work hours, so I'll be available to care for pets any time during the work day, as I can come and go when necessary or work from my laptop if I'm pet sitting in yours or my own home! Care for pets in my eyes is treating them like a member of the family! I'll play with, feed, walk, and love your pets. Adaptability is key as well, for example, where my household is big on spoiling with treats (within reason of course), I wouldn't do this without express permission when caring for someone else's pet!

“Clare was fabulous as usual. We returned home to very happy cats, even though one of them has a poorly leg. Clare was very attentive with our instructions to look after her, including giving her medicine. Thank you!”
