About Me

Cat sitter in Heaton Moor & Parrs Wood

Hi! I’m Alex. I am a huge animal lover. I have been the mother to three cats and one dog and the favourite aunty to many furry friends over the years!

I am also a primary school teacher and so can be trusted that my DBS check is up to date. I have an excellent relationship with all furry buddies- I seem to make friends wherever I go! I was previously a fosterer for Rescue Kitties Manchester and so I helped to look after cats who have unfortunately found themselves without a home. I became a “fail fosterer” when I just couldn’t let go of Iggy. She was part of my little family from day 1 and I couldn’t ever imagine her leaving!

I understand how important it is to have the confidence that you have left your pet in safe hands when you go away. I know how daunting and distressing catteries are for our kitties and personally, I would much prefer (and thoroughly recommend) leaving your cat in the comfort of their own home, with a trusted cat sitter- and hopefully new best best! 😆

I will happily send photos and visits of your pet, in a daily update, while you are away to provide security in knowing that they are happy and safe!

I am based in Heaton Moor/Didsbury so will cover the Heatons and Didsbury- please drop me an email with any queries over my catchment area and I’ll see what I can do. If available, I will travel to close areas. I’m happy to provide single or multiple visits and also provide an overnight stay, if required.

During visits, I will feed, play and provide a comfy lap for cuddles with your cat/pets and also change any litter trays. If they’re not the cuddly kind and prefer going solo, I am more than happy to sit by and let them do their thing! I understand how cats love their independence. I usually spend a minimum of 20 minutes with your cat and can spend longer, if required. Please just let me know when enquiring.

I have had experience with administering medication in food but never with injections. I am also more than happy to water any plants that you have- again, just let me know!

If you have any questions please don't hesitate to get in touch.

I look forward to meeting your cat or small animal! 🐱🐹🐰

Dog sitting: I have been asked about dog sitting and dog visits a lot lately. Both myself and my partner, Jamie, are very happy to look after your doggos while you’re away! Pop me a message and we can see what we can do 😊 Fees may differ slightly for dogs but all can be discussed.

    Alex was absolutely brilliant and we will definitely be booking her again in the future should we go away. She was reliable, updated us every day on how our cat (waffles) was doing and sent lots of pictures / videos. It was a huge reassurance for us knowing how well looked after our Waffles was and we came home to a very relaxed/happy boy.

    Alex was amazing with Kitty. She sent lots of photos/videos of her visits. Kitty can be nervous around new people but she warmed up very quickly. She was happy and relaxed when I got home 😊 Thank you! ❤️

    Alex did a fantastic job of looking after Cromwell who was relaxed and happy with Alex so I came home to a contented cat. Alex sent lots of photos and videos which reassured me that Cromwell was in good hands so I wasn’t worried at all. Cromwell and I would highly recommend Alex!

    Alex came to look after our cat Neville for 2 days on really short notice. She replied super quick to my request and even came round before to meet him. She did a great job looking after him and sent lots of lovely photos and videos. Would definitely recommend Alex as a cat sitter!

    First time leaving my cats with someone other than family or friends, and it went swiftly. Alex sent messages both days and lots of pictures and videos of my two cats. Really made me feel at ease. Will definately be booking Alex again for future cat sittings 👍

    Alex was amazing from start to finish! Having never used the app before I was able to go away safe in the knowledge that Luna was being looked after by someone I trusted. Alex was great for communication before, during and after the time we were away, and we came back to a very calm and happy cat! I really couldn’t of asked for a better sitter! Thx

    Alex is an absolutely fantastic cat sitter! She came to meet our cat, Jarvis, a few days before our trip, and they hit it off right away! She sent us lots of messages while we were away, and provided lots of pictures and videos, which we really appreciated. Jarvis absolutely loved her, and was so affectionate with her, which really comforted us. When we came home, we found a very content, chirpy, relaxed cat, proving he was incredibly well cared for. I couldn't have been happier with Alex's cat sitting!

    Our first time using a cat sitter and we definitely struck gold with Alex, she is absolutely fabulous. A definite cat person, Mabel and Margot love her and she clearly loves them too. The daily update with photos and videos was very reassuring, it was so nice to see how settled and happy the cats were in our absence. We came home to two very chilled out fur babies and we can't thank Alex enough!

    Our shy cat accepted strokes and purred away when Alex came to feed her, which shows she knew she was in safe hands! The photos/videos were reassuring and we came home to a relaxed cat. Thank you ☺️

    Alex was truly lovely, relaxed and easy going, from the meet and greet to her comprehensive updates and lovely pictures and video cuddles with Charlie. I felt her to be very trustworthy and went above and beyond to make sure Charlie was healthy and happy and all was well for my homecoming. I wouldnt hesitate to recommend her :)

    Alex is an excellent Kitty sitter! She looked after our Ziggy so well, sent us lots of photos and went above to beyond to check in on him when she dropped the keys off. Ziggy is an anxious boy and she lets him do everything on his terms and is great with his controlled feeds and using a timed feeder!

    Alex and her mum Yasmin were excellent sitters - good communication, photos, updates and reliable. Thoroughly recommended.

    Alex is an excellent cat sitter! We had consistent contact after ever visit and plenty of pictures and videos of how our boy Ziggy was getting along. She was great with his controlled diet (he is a chonky lad) and clearly spent time with Ziggy having cuddles and encouraging him to play. It was good to feel at ease and be able to relax while on holiday knowing Ziggy was in such good hands. Which was helped even more by her pre-sitting visit to meet Ziggy since he is quite an anxious cat. We will certainly be returning customers in the future! Which I am sure will make Ziggy happy as he clearly wasn’t too anxious around her with all his purring in the video’s sent to us!

    This was our first time going away since we adopted our two kittens. Alex did a fantastic job for us- even hoovering up after them. Really easy to arrange before hand, kept us updated all the way through and we have come home to purry little faces. Would 100% recommend Alex

    Alex was a fab sitter! She sent several snaps of Buddy each day she visited and a little update of how he was. She washed up his food bowls and left the house tidy and safe. Will use again!

    Alex was fantastic. Genuinely cared about our cats, and spent a good amount of time playing with them. She also cleaned up an accident one of them had, which was really going above and beyond! The cats loved her, as did we. We'll book Alex again without a doubt, and I'd recommend her in a heartbeat.
