About: I work around my regular schedule and am available in the evenings and on weekends. My work schedule changes from week to week, so I don't have fixed availability, but I'm happy to work around it and arrange visits in advance whenever possible. I make sure every visit includes feeding, fresh water, litter cleaning, playtime, and plenty of attention. When caring for cats in a pet owner's home, I always follow their usual routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I'll make sure they have fresh food and water, clean the litter tray, spend time playing or giving them attention (depending on their personality), and keep an eye on their overall wellbeing. I'll also keep the home tidy, respect the owner's instructions, and provide updates and photos so they know their cat is happy and well cared for while they're away.
“Alessia was great taking care of Momo! She was very open to his needs (he is walked with a leash daily). She provided updates as well which helped us a lot to be more calm about leaving him.”

About: I grew up on a farm in Portugal surrounded by animals since the day I was born. My father is a vet, so caring for pets has always been a natural part of my life. I learned early how to handle animals with love, confidence and responsibility. Back in Portugal, I was part of an animal rescue institution where I helped save abandoned animals, cared for them at home, and found responsible new owners. Since moving to Ireland, I’ve continued looking after pets — from minding my friends’ cats to taking daily care of my boyfriend’s two dogs, which I walk, feed, play with and treat like my own. Animals are truly my comfort place, and I bring years of real, hands-on experience with pets of all kinds. I work from home, which means your pet will have company and attention throughout the entire day. I can easily fit walks, playtime and feeding into my routine. I’m available for boarding on weekends and most weekdays, and I’m very flexible with drop-off and pick-up times. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first with me. I live in a clean, warm and tidy home where every animal is treated like family. I have a fully fenced garden where dogs can play safely, as well as an outdoor kennel for pets who prefer fresh air or need their own space.
About: I am Brazilian, we used to live in apartment blocks, and dogs require a lot of attention and they have a lot of energy. I used to walk my neighbours dogs since I’m 15. I also served as an overnight sitter when they went on holidays. My schedule is very flexible! I can try fitting in your routine and we can make it work :) I’m always free at night time during the week and majority of mornings too! Free on Saturday mornings and Sunday Afternoons. At home, my dog Cookie is part of the family. I like to ask the dog’s/owner’s schedule, so the pet doesn’t really get impacted with the change in the routine. I like to give a lot of attention and show that I’m present to the pet at the moment. Lots of walks, maybe movie nights, biscuits and play time.
“Ashleigh did an amazing job taking care of our cat for a week. She was great with him, even when he was a little bold. She send update photos and videos and ensured Whiskers was happy all the time.We are delighted with her, and would highly recommend her! Thanks again, we will definitely book again. ☺️”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Ballincollig on Rover is {{median_grand_total_num.as_currency}} per Visit (as of {{date}}). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting.
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialise in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your Eircode to find a sitter within walking distance in your neighbourhood.
Of course! Many sitters on Rover are experienced in caring for multiple pets simultaneously, whether you have a pack of dogs, a clowder of cats, or a mix of both.
Look for sitters who highlight multi-pet expertise or check for verified reviews from other Ballincollig pet parents with similar pet households.
Every sitter must complete an identity verification process before listing their services on Rover. This process checks that the sitter’s identity matches their provided documents.
Identity verification doesn't assess a sitter’s experience or suitability for your pet. To see if a sitter is the right fit, you can review each sitter's profile for ratings, verified reviews, repeat pet owner information and care style. We also recommend arranging a Meet & Greet to discuss your pet’s needs and make sure the sitter is the right fit before booking.
For more details, visit our Trust & Safety page.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes dedicated customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement programme for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to €25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
You can find what you need to review a sitter on their profile before booking with them. Each sitter’s profile on Rover shows verified reviews, identity verification, and ratings to give a glimpse of how their previous visits went. You can also use the Meet & Greet to walk through your home, identifying which areas, like your bedroom, are off-limits or not. Requesting details of your home security through the app can also be a good way to have your sitter keep you updated about your home.
If you have security cameras or smart doorbells, Rover asks that you disclose them to sitters before you book.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who've never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover, but you're welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you've previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you're booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you'll have a chance to go through your pet's routine, medical needs and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. A Meet & Greet is a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When contacting your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
