About Me

Cat sitter in Manchester

Please note that I am experiencing ill health so my sitting availability has been reduced. Feel free to contact with enquiries but I am generally unable to take on any new pusses and am restricted regarding length and multiple sits going forward.

Thank you for your understanding.

Hello fellow cat lovers! I'm an experienced, responsible and caring cat owner as well as fosterer for a number of charities. I understand how much cats can bring to us, and am committed to helping each feline have the best possible life.

I have provided cat sitting services and other pet walking / sitting / boarding for friends, family and via word of mouth for over two decades now. I have looked after animals through voluntary holidays in both the UK and also in Spain where I looked after a large population of street cats for three weeks. The host reviewed:

"The cats loved her, it was like she had always lived with us. She is good company and a very considerate person. She has a lot of experience with cats and kittens in her everyday life so was a huge benefit to us and our day to day operations."

Having fostered for over 9 years I've cared for several pregnant Queens and their kittens, from birth to when they are old enough to go to their own forever home. I've personally rescued and rehomed a number of adult cats and more recently have been fostering a number of different types of cats, all with different needs.

I currently work part time and have a DBS check through my employment. I am looking at developing my pet care understanding with professional qualifications.

You can be assured with me that you will have a cat sitter that understands feline behaviour, and who will give all the love and affection as your puss dictates!

I am practised in the art of ear scritchies, belly rubs, head butting and warm lap providing. I will give play and socialisation, keeping up with your regular routines as much as possible to minimise any stress. I will provide feeding, watering and cleaning tasks (litter trays, bowls etc).

Special requirements:

I am confident with handling cats, even when they don't necessary want it! My old Molly was given daily medication and I have looked after a diabetic cat that needed injections. I've also administered eye drops and cleaned / dressed wounds daily with fosters.

If I suspect your puss is poorly or acting out of character, I will always get in touch with you (or your emergency contact if unavailable) as you know your cat or kitten best. If I can, I will stay with them for a longer period in order to give you peace of mind.

Household:

I can do other basic house tasks as needed, such as turning heating on / off to prevent cold damage, turning lights on and off for security, watering plants etc.

I am very respectful of yours and your cat's environment and will thoroughly clean up so you can return to your home without worrying about having to do the vacuuming!

Boarding:

In certain circumstances I do occasionally board cats with me in my home. However your puss would have to be happy staying in my bedroom, and tolerate the scent of other cats/kittens. I am happy to discuss boarding on a case by case basis.

    Eli did a great job looking after Jess who is very happy and relaxed. Eli sent plenty of photos and updates which really helped settle the kids who were missing Jess whilst away on holiday. Thanks again Eli!

    Eli did a fantastic job! She sent some fantastic photos which were really reassuring, and really made a fuss of Jess. Thanks again, Eli.

    Eli was fantastic and I would highly recommend her and the cat in a flat service in general. This was our first time using a cat sitter, but I couldn't have been happier with the experience. I had daily updates on my cat and it was clear to see the time and effort Eli put into looking after him and making sure he was happy.

    Eli did a fantastic job looking after Jess whilst we were away, including implementing extra Covid-19 safety precautions. Eli sent loads of great photos of Jess each day which was very reassuring. We will definitely book Eli again and I’d wholeheartedly recommend using her to friends and family.

    Eli took our booing at very short notice and did a fantastic job looking after Jess whilst we were away for a week. Eli sent a daily update with pictures and Jess was clearly having a wonderful time. I would definitely recommend Eli to friends and family. Thanks again Eli

    Eli was fantastic again, and really went above and beyond when our Burnie fell ill while we were away (she's OK now, you'll be pleased to read :P).

    Eli was absolutely brilliant and we thoroughly recommend her! Her communication was great throughout inc. daily updates and pics, she went above and beyond in terms of looking after the house (putting our bins out, sorting the mail, checking on our pet snake etc.) and is just a generally lovely person! She also has a friend for life in our cat Burnie :)

    With us only having our rescue cat for 2 weeks before going on holiday, I was worried my holiday would be ruined by constantly worrying about her. Eli really put our minds at ease with all the updates/pictures/videos. It was great seeing Lola being her relaxed usual self, I didn't have to worry about her at all! Thanks a lot :)

    Big thank you to Eli for looking after my two boys whilst we were away on holiday. She kept us updated with lots of pics and videos and spent time playing with them, as well as looking after the day to day needs. We came home to two very contented cats. Would highly recommend Eli and wouldn't hesitate to use her services again.

    My wife and I couldn't be happier with Eli! One of our cats is very timid and doesn't like new people, but within a couple of hours of Eli being there she was out being her usual self. We got loads of pictures and updates of the them whilst we were away, and the flat was lovely and clean when we got home as well. Thank you so much for putting our minds at ease whilst we were away. HIGHLY recommend!

    Eli was fantastic! Our cat was very well looked after, and we got daily photos and videos showing us how he was getting on. I couldn't have asked for anything more!

    Eli was reliable, very friendly and clearly has an affinity with and knowledge of cats. Also added a nice touch to give my kitchen a little clean and clipping my kitten's claws!

    Eli was a fantastic cat-sitter looking after our two cats. Having met with her before going away, we knew Hamish and Lyra would be in safe hands, and will be using her again in the future!
