Cat Sitter

Does Your Cat need a cat sitter?

Thinking of hiring a Cat Sitter for your next trip? Then look no further!

With our Cat Sitting service we can be there to play, feed, clean up after and even walk your cat if you need us to.

Whatever you need we are here to provide the best in home Cat Sitting service for your cat possible.

We understand that for some cats (and their humans) the stress of moving them out of their home environment into a cattery is unfair on them and worrying for you.

Which is where a Cat Sitter can help!

We understand you might worry if your cat is missing you, what they are getting up to and if they are happy while you are away.

And that's where your daily pet journal will give you peace of mind seeing pictures of your cat.

We do understand though that some cats won’t even grace us with their presence!
And in that case we will make sure they’re eating and drinking, but we won’t go hassling them to socialise with us against their will! – until they are ready to hang out.

This was our first time leaving our cats with someone other than friends or family, so we were quite nervous about how it would go. We have a teenage cat who we recently adopted, as well as an older cat with quite a strong personality and a history of stress-related urinary blockage, so she needs a little extra care and a gentle approach. I have to say, we are absolutely delighted with the experience. The initial communication was quick and clear, and we received all the important information about how everything would work, which made us feel much more comfortable. Kathryn, our pet sitter, was absolutely wonderful. She managed to find a way to connect with both of our cats, and from everything we could tell, they were very comfortable and happy while we were away for 10 days. She followed all the instructions and took care of everything we had asked her to, and she sent us regular updates throughout the stay, which was especially reassuring. At the end, she also gave us some really helpful feedback on things to keep an eye on and a couple of valuable tips based on what she noticed while looking after them. We are very happy with the whole experience! Thank you so much, we will definitely be using your services again!

Sindy recently cared for my two cats and I would recommend her services very highly. I found the cats to be very happy and content when I got back home. Sindy is a very thorough and dependable pet sitter and I hope she will come to mind my cats again. Mary D. Knocklyon Dublin 16.

Very happy with the service we received. Davi the sitter kept in contact with us throughout the 9 days. Cats looked happy, healthy and importantly relaxed on our return. Davi sent us videos so we could see them and see that they were relaxed while we were away. This was our first time using Pet Sitters Ireland and we will definitely book again when the need arises. A real sense of relief to know out beloved pets are safe and in good hands.

I would highly recommend Pet Sitters Ireland to anyone looking for Pet Care. You can enjoy your holiday knowing your pets are happy and well looked after in their own home, i much prefer this option over boarding kennels. We have used Pet Sitters for a number of years, they give fantastic care and attention to our 2 cats and 2 dogs. Mike goes above and beyond to make sure they are cared for. And this year Aine did a great job looking after them all. My two girls love the photo updates received daily and get very excited to see how their pets are getting on while we are away.

An absolutely brilliant service. Mike was very professional and thorough when looking after my 2 cats during my time away. From the very first "meet and greet" session, all my previous concerns disappeared. I really appreciated the daily photos and updates as well, a complete peace of mind from start to finish. Honestly cannot recommend them enough, superb job from the whole team. – Alex P.S. Alisa and Luna say hi

PetSitters Ireland are a fantastic company. They allow my cats to be minded in their own home and environment which is far less stressful for them. The sitters are professional, friendly and absolutely animal lovers. Highly recommend this company.

We are delighted we decided to use Pet Sitters Ireland to look after our two cats when we were away. We have used the short morning and evening cat nip visits on three occasions so far, both on weekends and for a full week. The online system is easy to use to book petsitters and both petsitters we have had have been extremely professional, reliable and trustworthy. We could tell they were real pet lovers, they communicated really well, followed all the instructions, even cleaning the cats eyes when needed, and filled out a pet care journal including pictures. The features that gave us peace of mind before using this service for the first time were that the pet sitters are vetted by the company and their phones tracked to make sure they are there when they should be. Also there is always a backup petsitter in case the allocated person is sick or something. They will also switch on/off lights and take in bins to make it look like you're home and deter burglars. Hope this review helps if you need a petsitter. We will definitely be be happy to use their service again next time we go away 😸😺

Great experience! This is the second time we have used Pet Sitters who looked after our cats for a week while we were away. Detailed orientated, professional and responsive! Highly Recommend!

Pet Sitters Ireland have been looking after our two cats Lilly and Pixie for the last six years and we are very happy with their services. Mike made sure that we got the best suited pet sitter and was always available when we had any concerns or feedback. One of our cats has separation anxiety and as we are travelling quite a lot, it is very reassuring to know the ladies are cared for by someone that love cats as much as we do. Alba, Eve and Christine were all excellent, reliable and well-communicating. Makes travel so much more relaxing for everyone involved!

I cannot recommend Petsitters Ireland enough. Everything from booking and ongoing communication with Anne Marie and Susannah and Shannon is so easy and makes my life so much easier! On top of all of that the girls are so so nice to my little dog and are always so caring towards her. As well as that they will always say hello to my two cats which really puts my mind at ease. Petsitters Ireland are true animal lovers. Always on time, always reliable, I would be lost without this fantastic 5 star service!! Keep up the great work guys, Jackie, Rathfarnham

Petsitters provide a thorough and reliable service, with reassuring updates after each visit. They are committed to ensuring that all our specific preferences and needs are met. I’m really pleased with the caring attention Shannon gives to my two cats – who are really happy having her take care of them while I’m away. I know this especially because my very shy little cat has appeared out from under the bed to greet her! It’s great peace of mind for me. I recommend Petsitters for their great service.

This was my first time to use Petsitters Ireland. They are very professional and thorough. They looked after my cats by coming twice a day to feed them. They sent me photos morning and evening which was very reassuring .The cats were happy and healthy when we came back,we couldn't ask for more. It means we have no worries about going away. Many thanks .

I cannot say enough good things about Pet Sitters Ireland. We travel 1 -2 times a month, and I was so happy with the service and dedication to our kitties! My cats loved Vickie, and would run to the door when she came by! I’m sad that I don’t have access to their network here in the states! They will be missed for sure and I would highly recommend their services!

I can't say enough about Pet Sitters Ireland. The service that they provided was extremely professional in all aspects…from the meet & greet, through to the entire 2 weeks of visiting our house. They followed our instructions completely, kept our house secure, and gave us peace of mind with the numerous photos that they sent to us twice daily. We actually looked forward each day to getting the journal and it was great to see that our cats were somewhat oblivious to us returning home! We will definitely use their service all the time in the future. Thank you so much PSI. Highly recommended.

We had a negative experience with a cattery, so decided to try Pet Sitters Ireland and now PSI is the ONLY option we will use for our animals when we travel. We have used them many times in the last 4 years and have only had positive experiences with them. The complimentary meet and greet at the start is great, as it means we can meet with our sitter directly and can show them personally our pets routine. It also gives us the chance to ask questions and get to know our sitter. While we are traveling, it is great to see our online journals and daily photos of our cats, so we can see how happy and relaxed they are while we are away. There is great 2-way communication that can be used with our sitter, should we need to use it. Not only are our cats looked after so well, our home is too – mail is collected, plants are watered and even our bins can be put out for collection. All in all, this gives us great peace of mind knowing both our pets and home are being well looked after.

One of our cats needs vital medicine twice daily and we couldn't find anyone in Cork who would have the patience to gain her trust, as she is very shy. We couldn't go away for over a year. Until we found Pet Sitters Ireland. They go above and beyond any of our expectations, up to the point where you can give them your flight details in case you have troubles coming back home. They are by far the best company we've ever used and put the welfare of your pets before anything else, which is the most important for us, as they are our family. Thanks again for everything, especially for letting us go on holidays again!

We have been using Pet Sitters Ireland on and off for the last eight years and can really recommend their service. We have two dogs and two cats and all the dog walkers we have used have been so nice and friendly and totally reliable. It’s also great to get the daily updates and photos to keep your mind at rest while you are away. Would highly recommend their service! Jackie and Gordon

I have a pack of 7 dogs and 2 cats. The help I get to walk the dogs and to feed all 9 when I'm working late have made a great positive impact on the happiness of all. I can trust all to go well and the pack is very happy with the dogwalker. I will strongly recommend Pet Sitters Ireland

I was stressed about leaving my 2 cats for a long holiday abroad, but PetSitters Ireland took such wonderful care of them, and the photo updates were just the best touch, so nice to see photos of my kitties every day, and seeing them happy made me feel so much better. I'm using PetSitters Ireland again for my next trip away from home, and can highly recommend them to anyone who needs a pet sitter, whether for a few days, or a few weeks.

I've used Pet Sitters Ireland to look after my cats when I've been away on several occasions. The pet sitters really seem to love pets and took good care of them. It's so nice to come home to happy cats with a clean litter tray after a few days away. I also love getting the pet journals with pictures of my cats on a daily basis.
