Lifetime cat owner sitting in Greater Manchester - availability up to date for rest of 2025!

• ABOUT ME -

Hi! I’m Lilly, and I’m a catsitter living in Whitefield and currently have several repeat clients in the area, as well as some slightly further afield. I've been working only with repeat clients for the past year, but am now very pleased to be able to open my books to new clients for Summer 2025 and beyond.

I’ve had cats my whole life - "cat" was even my first word, paired with some enthusiastic pointing! My parents have three cats who I grew up with - Colin, Arthur and Mabel - who I regularly travel to the Peak District to catsit.

I moved to Manchester in 2020, and in 2022 my partner and I adopted Teddy - a loving and timid tuxedo rescue who spent the first four years of his life living outside a chippy in Middleton! In January 2024, we rescued Henry, a long-haired kitten who really lives up to the 'orange cat' stereotype and is really bringing shy Teddy out of his shell.

For me, catsitting is the perfect way to get to know all sorts of different cats and their lovely owners. It's lovely to spend plenty of quality time with cats and look after them in the comfort of their own home.

I’ve been looking after my own cats for fifteen years, and catsitting other people’s furbabies for the past 10 years.

I am currently living in Whitefield, and able to cover any local area within a ten mile radius, including but not limited to: Whitefield, Radcliffe, Prestwich, Bury, Crumpsall, Cheetham Hill, Middleton, Manchester City Centre, Ancoats, and Salford.

For areas outside a 5 mile radius from Whitefield (e.g. Bolton, Rochdale, Failsworth, south Manchester), a mileage cost may apply - we have an EV so this cost is likely to be small :)

• ABOUT MY SERVICE -

I provide a fully customised service and am happy to go with whatever you require, as you know your pet's needs best.

My initial meeting/s, to meet you and your cat/s and have a chat with you about your requirements, are free of charge because I know how important it is to find the right fit when you're trusting somebody to look after your fur babies. Not only are you trusting me to look after your pet, you're also trusting me to look after your home, and I've found that an initial meeting is the perfect way to communicate face to face and ensure everyone's happy.

My broad experience with cats means I know first-hand how different one cat can be from the next. Even within the same house, two cats may need completely different care to one another!

I specifically have extensive experience caring for timid/anxious cats, cats with sensitive tummies and special diets, raw food diets, newly adopted/rescued cats, kittens, and cats who take medication and supplements.

Some things I offer that make my service special: Daily photos/videos & updates || Brushing/grooming || Lots of play and/or fuss, whatever your cat loves! || Litter trays cleaned and replenished as often as required || General housesitting - plants watered, post collected, bins put out, etc || Your house clean, tidy and peaceful for when you get back

I may be able to accommodate overnight stops if requested (for example, if your cat needs extra care, attention, and cuddles or doesn’t like an empty house). Please note due to family, work, and other commitments, this may not always be possible, but I'm more than happy to discuss this on a case-by-case basis.
