Wirral Whiskers

Wirral Whiskers Cat Sitter

I’m Livi Parkins and I am the proud owner of Wirral Whiskers.

My speciality is cat sitting / minding along with small animal animals and exotics boarding.

A helping hand for all your pet requirements including cat sitting and small animal boarding. All pets are welcome, in particular cats, small mammals, exotics, birds and reptiles.

I provide a high standard of personalised, one to one care for your pets so they feel happy and comfortable in their own environment.

Being a pet owner myself, I know it is a worry to leave pets, so updates and photos of your pets will be sent regularly. Don’t forget to check out my testimonials page to see what other customers have thought of my service.

As well as being fully qualified, insured and experienced to look after your pets, I have a DBS certificate for your reassurance.

More About Me

I am animal crazy! At the moment I have a beautiful but nervous long haired cat, a young, partially sighted Cypriot cat, a very small fluffy cat and a Roborovski hamster. They are all a huge part of the family! We also currently have an empty enclosure – just waiting for the right time to have some more African soft furred rats.

Ideally I’d would like to have more animals and have always fancied having a few pygmy goats, alpacas, chickens, more cats and lots more rodents.

Other than the animals, I have two children and a husband. All of which love the pets and know that the cats are the boss! I have been vegan since November 2016 and my close family are all vegetarian. I enjoy reading, aerial circus, sewing and craft activities.

I try to be environmentally friendly and use biodegradable and ecological products where possible. I try to walk or cycle rather than use the car.
