I am a big animal lover, I thoroughly enjoy getting to know their unique personalities and believe that their company is therapeutic and hugely rewarding. I have experience in looking after cats, dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs, rats, chinchillas, hamsters, birds, fish and chickens. I am happy to look after any similar animals.
I will treat your pets in the same way as I do my own, with love, care, and attention. I can guarantee your pets will be in friendly and trustworthy hands. I am more than happy to fit around your pet's schedule to provide them with the continuity. I am happy encouraging your pet to have a good run around and equally happy to sit and provide cuddles dependent on their needs. I am understanding of your pet's individual character, I can be a calming presence for shy pets and a playful one for the more confident ones.
I will always be respectful of your home and belongings, I am happy to switch lights on and off, pull curtains, water plants and take bins out for you whilst visiting your home and caring for your animals. I am happy to send you updates and pictures of your pets during your holidays to reassure you that all is well while you enjoy your time away.
I offer home visits where I visit your pet/s for around 30 minutes (or more depending on your pets needs). I feed, clean cages/litter/let them outside and play with them. I can provide these visits once or twice a day.
I work freelance from home for my main job so can be flexible and will tailor visits to meet your needs.
I am currently taking on clients in Newton, Upton, Hoole, Vicars Cross and central Chester or nearby. I am happy to travel further afield with a contribution to cover the cost of petrol.
Full refund if canceled before 12:00 p.m. one day before the booking, 50% refund afterward.

Highly recommend. Would book Josie again!
I recently had the pleasure of having Josie care for my two cats, Mia and Dotty, and I couldn't be more pleased with the experience. From the moment we first communicated, it was clear that she had a genuine love for animals and a professional approach to pet sitting.
During my time away, Josie provided regular updates and photos, showing that Mia and Dotty were not only well taken care of but were also happy and relaxed. It was evident that she took the time to engage with each cat individually, catering to their unique personalities and needs. Mia, who can be quite shy, warmed up quickly, and Dotty, our playful one, enjoyed plenty of playtime and attention.
Josie went above and beyond by ensuring our home was kept tidy, including cleaning up after the cats and even watering our plants. Their attention to detail and commitment to providing top-notch care gave us peace of mind, allowing us to fully enjoy our time away without any worries.
I highly recommend Josie to anyone in need of a reliable, caring, and professional pet sitter. We will definitely be booking her services again in the future! Thank you for taking such wonderful care of Mia and Dotty!
I have Diplomas in Animal Welfare (including First Aid) and Feline Behaviour and Psychology.
I am DBS checked.
