Full-time animal mad petsitter
Hi! I’m Danielle and I’ve always loved cats and have been a cat owner for 20 years. I currently have a diva British Short Hair, Lilly, who has me wrapped around her little paw. I am used to caring for cats of all ages, my first cat lived to 17! Although I don’t own a dog, I have been dogsitting for friends and family for years. I am good at reading animal body language so both cats and dogs love me. I also have experience petsitting birds and tortoises. I used to volunteer at a local vet clinic so I am confident in my ability to give medication and keep calm in stressful situations. I live in Wigan. I am a full-time petsitter so can adjust my schedule to suit your pet’s needs. If you want overnight stays, I ask that you let me use your WiFi whilst I’m there. My main aim as a pet-sitter is to keep your pet happy and healthy whilst their family is away. I want my visits to be stress free for both the pet/s and the owners so I send photo or video updates everyday. If your pet has any little quirks, please tell me so I can keep them happy!
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I visit pets in their own home as I feel this is a less stressful situation for the pet. Before the sit starts, I offer a free meet n greet service where the owner and animals can get to know me. This gives the pets the opportunity to give their seal of approval and the owners the chance to ask any questions. I like to know the pet’s medical needs, if a pet needs medication administered, I try to time the meet n greet around medication time so that I can see how the owners usually do it. I also like to know all the weird quirks every pet has; they’re favourite scritch spot, where they hide, any food quirks. I am fully DBS checked and have personal petsitting insurance outside of Rover. Around a week before the start of a sit, I’ll arrange to pick up a house key. During the sit, I like to be able to connect to WiFi, whether I’m allowed to make a cup of tea and I always like to know which vet the pets are registered at just in case. I usually send photo and video updates to owners everyday during a sit. If there are ever any health issues, I let the owners know and advise on whether I think the pet needs to visit a vet.
Ratings and reviews
Danielle took wonderful care of our two cats! Each day. She posted pictures of them and we will definitely request her services the next time we're out of town! Thanks so much, Danielle!
Danielle looked after our two ladies whilst we were away for 10 nights and she was absolutely fantastic ! She showed them as much love and attention as we do. We came home to two very happy kitties. The time she spent with them on each visit shows just how much she loves animals. Danielle updated us with pictures and videos from every visit and kept us up to date of how much they were eating. Would highly recommend Danielle and I will most definitely be booking with her again 🩷
Amazing sitter!! She took great care of my two cats, they were happy with her as well, I really loved that she sent pictures of each visit! Will def rebook next time I need!
Couldn’t have found a better cat sitter-I feel so blessed to have found her on here!! Trustworthy, affectionate, loving, affordable - such a wonderful woman! Sent us pictures videos and updates everyday ❤️ I even asked if she babysits too! Recommend her so much! Seffy was disappointed when I opened the door instead 😂 Can’t wait to book her again!
Danielle was great with our cats. She gave regular updates when she was there and both cats seem very happy and relaxed!
Danielle was amazing!!! My cat, birds and home felt safe in her hands, allowing us to relax and enjoys our Christmas. Communication was on another level, great contact, pics and videos.

Schedule
I’m now a full-time petsitter so I can follow your pet’s usual schedule. As a rule, I prioritise pets that have a strict medication timetable. Other than that, I work on a first come first serve basis, so the earlier you book me, the more likely you are to get your ideal time slot. Worth bearing in mind when booking for peak times e.g. school holidays. I work all days of the week by prior arrangement. I’m more of a night owl than an early bird by nature but with prior knowledge I am happy to adjust my routine where possible.
- Danielle can host up to 5 drop-ins per day
- I like to know about any current medical conditions your pets have and if I need to administer medication and how you usually do this. I like to have the address and contact number for the vet they are registered at and whether your pet is up to date with vaccines. If your pet has any behavioural issues e.g. doesn’t like other cats/dogs. I won’t cancel a petsit if there are behavioural issues, I just prefer to know so I can structure the visit accordingly e.g. time dog walks so that there aren’t lots of other dogs around. I like to know if you have cameras in your home. Again, cameras aren’t a deal breaker for me, I just don’t want a viral video of me singing a silly song to your cat. I like to know if you are comfortable with me making a brew, using your toilet and WiFi, and whether you mind me sharing your pet’s pics on social media. It’s your home and want to make sure that you are comfortable with me being in it ☺️
