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.

This is the 2nd time we have chosen Josie to look after our 2 cats whilst we were away, and yet again we were very happy with the service she provides. Josie sent updates every day with photos and a description of how the cats were doing and what their mood was! She is such a friendly and kind person, and we have been so happy to choose her for our pet sitting needs!
Josie was excellent looking after my cats while I was away. She was really good with the cats, was very professional and communication was great.
I have Diplomas in Animal Welfare (including First Aid) and Feline Behaviour and Psychology.
I am DBS checked.
