The Cheshire Cat Pet Sitter

We are Darren and Kim - The Cheshire Cat pet sitters, a service dedicated to providing the very best care for your cats while you're away from home.
(2)

We offer peace of mind by visiting your cat in their own home. Covering Stockport and surrounding areas. We are Darren and Kim. We established The Cheshire Cat Pet sitting Service because we simply love cats! The idea to start our own cat sitting service came after struggling to find the pet sitting service that was right for us within our local area. With over 30 years' experience caring for cats

, all strays with difficult backgrounds, we understand that every cat has different needs and requires different levels of care. We currently have 3 cats - Polly, Milly and Jarvis. All are now senior cats and Polly, who is 18, is currently be treated for hyperthyroidism. Our lives revolve around these three cheeky cats. Darren has previously worked at Animals in Distress animal sanctuary for a number of years, where he gained valuable experience caring for cats of all temperaments, as well as dogs and other small animals. Darren is passionate about the environment and the natural world and he's a keen ornithologist. Kim grew up with cats, dogs, hamsters and goldfish and has, like Darren, had a lifelong love of animals. She was lucky enough to live in Tanzania for three years, where she had the opportunity to see big cats and other large animals in the wild. She's happy now to be settled back in Stockport with three slightly smaller cats!

Just what Sunday afternoons are for!
Polly and Jarvis have both been poorly recently, but they're both back to full health now and so I haven't got the heart to move them! 😻😻
Show us your pics of what your cats are up to this wet weekend. 😺 x

This handsome young fella is called Gruff!!

Gruff is the sweetest and friendliest cat. He's so pick-up-able and huggable and yet if you ignore him for a moment, he'll bite your knees and toes. In the gentlest way imaginable 😂

Watching him charge around after his toys and doing the occasional accidental forward roll is priceless. We're missing him already. Until next time, fluffy clown prince Gruff!!!

A big thank you to Milly, Jarvis and Polly for saving up their pocket money and buying me this super mug for my birthday 🥰

This gorgeous girl is Cookie. We met her for the first time recently and she was a little shy on her first visit, but what a transformation on day two!

Cookie is a real chatterbox and has a lot to say. She's especially vocal when we arrive to see her. The way in which she greets us is a joy to behold!!

She loves to play and she really loves her laser pen and playing in her cat tunnel.

Cookie is beautiful and such a sweetie. We look forward to seeing her again soon 🥰

Please say hello to Cleo!!

We have had the ultimate pleasure of caring for Cleo recently and what a joyous experience it was. Having a sitter was a new experience for Cleo and she took a couple of days to adapt. She was a little shy at first, but time and patience paid off and before long she was greeting us at the door and rolling around with joy!!

It was wonderful to see Cleo adapt to her new situation and she really enjoyed her visits.

We love Cleo and we can't wait to see her again soon 🥰

We have recently returned to care for Lucia and Kitts. They were both so sweet and they hadn't forgotten us at all.

Lucia is affectionate and kind, but she did effectively mug me for a few dreamies!!

Kitts is inquisitive and keeps an eye on us at all times. She doesn't miss a trick and has moments of madness that are just hilarious.

They are such fun to sit for and there is never a dull moment.

See you again soon girls 🥰😽🐈

This little cutie is our Milly.

In 2012, shortly after I'd experienced a loss from my feline family, I was contacted about a small black cat living in a shed that was being savaged by other cats in the area, and the person who found Milly wasn't sure she could survive the onslaught.

I was tender at the time, but I felt I could help and to cut a long story short, Milly was moved into temporary accommodation for a week and during that week she was spayed. She then moved in with me and I still remember sleeping on the floor in the spare room for a few days to comfort her as she adjusted to her new home and her new life.

It's a story with a happy ending. She finally found her forever home! 🥰🐈🥰

Please think of others this, and every, bonfire night.

Say hello again to Nancy!!

We have recently had the pleasure of caring for Nance again and she hadn't forgotten us.

Nancy is so loving and so much fun and it was such a joy to be with her again. She's a special little kitty and you just want to put her in your pocket and take her home 😀

We love Nancy 🥰🥰🥰

Please say hello to our precious little Polly 😽😽

I rescued Polly 19 years ago as a wee little thing and she's been with me ever since.

Polly has hyperthyroidism for which she is medicated twice a day in the form of a tablet, but other than that she is healthy and well and if truth be known, a bloody pest!! 🤪

Polly wakes her mum every morning at 3am, on the dot for food and will bite and pull her mum's hair if she refuses to comply. Polly is an addict. A knee addict and will be sat on your knee before your bum hits the sofa.

Even at 19 years old, Polly is still a kitten at heart and we love her so much. She's special x

This is Kirito

This was our first sit with this handsome guy. He was shy at first, but soon overcame that and we became really good friends over the two weeks that his dad was on holiday.

He's a real character and lots of fun and we're really going to miss. We will however see him again later in the year 🥰😃😽

Our boy Jarvis (Mr Jibs, Jibbles) is all happy again after his vet trip earlier this week.

He's so forgiving and he loves his bean bag.

His sisters are jealous of all the attention he's getting and so I will soon be introducing everyone to Polly (Pest Pants) and Milly (Moomin) with a feature on them both 😽

This gorgeous girl is Luna and it's the second time that we've had the opportunity to care for her.

Luna has skin allergies and she has medication for her condition and one day she'll overcome this, but for now she wears her donut to prevent her from biting the affected areas. It doesn't hold her back and she has such a lust for life and she really is a cat that we have fallen head over paws in love with.

We love you Luna xx

This is our boy Jarvis

Jarvis found me 10 years ago when I lived near Wigan. He was homeless and unloved, but that changed the moment he walked into my life.

He's the sweetest and most loving cat and yet he's had a such a difficult year with his health.

He survived a cancer scare earlier this year and had to have a full heart scan at the hospital before he had his operation due to his heart murmur. He was successfully operated on and given the all clear.
A week ago we noticed he had one pupil significantly larger than the other. A condition known as glaucoma which requires urgent medical attention. It's a condition that is quite rare in cats. The vet came that very day and recommended we see a vet with the specialist equipment to test the pressure in his eye. After being tested it revealed that the pressure behind his right eye was extremely high and likely causing him to feel pain.

We have just arrived home after seeing the vet again to test how his eye had reacted to the eyedrops we were giving him 3 times a day and he has responded really well. The pressure in a healthy eye will fall between 12 and 20 on the scale and last week his readings were in the mid 30's. Today his scores were skirting around 20 and so we're on the right track. He returns in a month to test the pressure behind his eye and it may just be that we can save his eye. There is very little vision in his poorly eye, but above anything we just want to avoid him being operated on again.

Jarvis has been a first class patient and forgave us instantly. He knows how much we love him xx

Double trouble, but double the fun!!

Tammy and Tiger are sisters and we had a hunch that caring for these two girls would be fun and we were not wrong. There was never a dull moment. They wouldn't allow it and yet despite the chaos and fun, there were tender moments. What a joy!!

Thank you to Alice and Thursday for a fun-packed week last week! These two are so friendly and affectionate and just love to play. It was lovely to have them follow me around, have lots of fusses, and play with every toy I could find.🧶🐁 🐈

We don't just care for cats here at The Cheshire Cat Pet Sitters! Meet Spikey Mikey, a stunning Bearded Dragon, which I was thrilled to look after last week. He may not be as cuddly or as playful as a cat, but he's a fascinating reptile and I could watch him for hours. Anyone who has been in our house will have seen the geckos and chameleons on our walls and shelves. We love lizards! So this was a fantastic opportunity to spend time with Mikey and learn more about the lizard family. 🦎🥰
