Welcome
Hello, I’m Jean Davies and I’m the owner of Whiskers Pet Care. Whiskers Pet Care is based in Trinity Riverside, close to Manchester City Centre.
Currently Whiskers Pet Care offers Pet Sitting services and Reiki for Pets. I'm also learning and practising Intuitive Communication with Animals, with some interesting results so far! Other services will be added shortly.
Every pet sitter offers slightly different services, so no doubt you're looking around to see whose service most fits your needs. Where I'm different to most is that I also provide Reiki treatments for animals; even if you're just booking pet sitting services, the Reiki energy is always flowing through me.
This means that even in the few minutes I'm with your pet, and I stroke or cuddle them, they will pick up the Reiki energy - this has a very calming effect, and can help to settle pets who become anxious when their owners are away.
I am very experienced in caring for animals, and am trained in animal first aid. I have full public liability insurance (provided by a specialist pet businesses insurer), and am CRB checked for your security and peace of mind.
I have a lovely cat called Bella who's now 3 years old, and who came to me from Animals in Distress animal sanctuary as a rescue when she was just 6 months old. She's great friends with the fish and the top of their tank is her favourite place to sleep. Bella's now firmly in charge in this house, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
Animals in Distress are based in Irlam, and to thank them for bringing lovely Bella into my life, I regularly visit as a volunteer, providing Reiki treatments to the animals they care for before they can be found new homes. Additionally, I sponsor a Dogs' Trust Dog, and help with fundraising and donations to Manchester Dogs Home from time to time.

Our 14 year old Collie Cross, Jodie, suffered from Arthritis in her back legs. The Reiki from Jean really calmed her down, in fact, even towards the end of her life, she didn't appear to be in any pain at all. Jean's help was much appreciated at a very difficult time, and we felt we were giving our dog a very special gift when drugs were not the answer.
Jean came to look after our three cats while we were away on holiday. As well as following feeding instructions to the letter, Jean also dealt faultlessly with giving medication to our poorly cat - something that only the most ardent cat-lover would ever usually attempt - and her positive, calming energy meant that our family probably never even noticed that we weren't there. The cats definitely want her to come back again soon, and so do we.
We would have no hesitation in recommending Jean to take care of your extended (four-legged) “family members” . From our first meeting we picked up on Jean’s calm, warm and caring nature. We had just adopted two 12 year old cats with a history of problems. Jean not only took wonderful care of them whilst we were away, she has also taken a great interest in trying to help us with solutions for their future care. Jean has an in-depth knowledge of petcare and behaviour issues, it has been a pleasure to work with her – we will certainly continue to use Jean for as long as she will have us!! A big thank you from Alan and Ann (not to mention Jade and Skye)
We cannot recommend Jean highly enough! Our cat Nia suffered encephalitis when she was a kitten, which has left her with wonky back legs. As she is a house cat the home is her domain, so there was no question of putting her in a cattery. In the past, going away was always tinged with guilt and concern. Since we contacted Jean our lives have been transformed. We know that with Jean's kindness, warmth and patience, Nia is happy being looked after by her. It's as though we have never been away! Many thanks, and Nia is looking forward to seeing you again soon.
Thank you so much for looking after us over the past few weeks. We love our cuddles with you especially. We can't wait to see you again in March. We know that our Mum appreciates what you do for us too.
