House Sitting Cork

“Karen was totally amazing. My dog adored her and looked so happy and content when I came home. Karen treated my dog and my home as her own and is a wonderful, honest person. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending her to anyone. Will be using her again when I go away!”

About: Hi! Hope you and your pet are well :) My name is Marcela, I am a Brazilian- Italian living in Cork, I have 26 years old and I love animals. As an experienced pet care provider, I have worked with a wide range of animals, including dogs, cats, and birds. I'm not only comfortable with different breeds and species but also skilled in administering medication, ensuring your pet's health and safety at all times. Whether it's a playful puppy, a curious cat, or a talkative bird, I know how to cater to their specific needs and personalities. My love for animals started when I was a little girl, and that passion has given me the chance to build amazing relationships with different pets over the years. These experiences have provided me with valuable knowledge and countless animal friends along the way. I offer personalized, loving care for your furry or feathered family members, treating each pet as if they were my own. Walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of cuddles are all part of the experience. I understand that every pet is unique, and I adapt my care to ensure they feel safe, loved, and well-attended. You can trust that your pet will receive the best care possible, no matter their size or temperament. Let's make your pet's day brighter! This summer I'll have a very flexible schedule and will be available every day. I enjoy spending time with animals, so pet sitting fits perfectly into my routine. I'll be able to provide plenty of attention, regular walks, playtime, and care based on each pet's needs. I primarily provide care in the pet owner's home, where pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I carefully follow their usual routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication (if needed and instructed), and lots of attention and companionship. I also send regular updates and photos to keep owners informed and give them peace of mind while they're away.

“Kat was brilliant! 😊 She was house sitting in my home because my cat is a bit hard to take care of. He usually sleeps during the day and hunts at night, but this is when he is hungry as well, so he wakes you up several times during the night while he comes in for food then goes out again. And he is needy during the day because he needs rubs and sometimes food too. He is also very picky. Sometimes, I had to put out five or more different plates for him to find the one he prefers to eat. And he likes wet food, so, you need to be around the house most of the time. Kat was taking so good car of him. And she left the house clean, organised, and just the way I passed it to her. Thanks you do much, Kat. You are great! 😊”

About: I've spent my whole life around dogs, from raising Shepherds as a kid to recently caring for friends, neighbors, and families pets and volunteering at an animal shelter. That hands-on experience means I genuinely understand how they think and what they need. I can read a dog's body language, recognize when something's off, and respond calmly and confidently in any situation. What your dog gets with me: someone who shows up on time, every time, and treats your pup with the same care I'd give my own. I'm currently a Microbiome Science master's student at UCC. During the week, I am available after 5 PM and on the weekend am available all day Whether I'm visiting your home or welcoming your pet into mine, your pet's safety and comfort always come first. I follow the owner's routine closely, feeding schedules, walking routes, any rules they've set, because consistency is what makes them feel secure in an unfamiliar situation.

“We had a great experience with Courtney, who was very accommodating and took great care of Mollie. Regular updates and photos showed Mollie really happy and well taken care of!”

“Helena is absolutely AMAZING. My pets really loved her, plenty of walks and play time. She made sure I was in the loop all the time with photo and video updates which reduced anxiety, especially when working with someone new. Amazing person and absolutely perfect service.”

About: I am a very cheerful, empathetic, and responsible person. I've been surrounded by pets my entire life, I have my own dog and have always taken care of him with all the love and attention in the world. My family also fully trusts me to look after their dogs whenever they travel or need a hand. I completely understand how important our furry friends are as family members, so your dog will get plenty of fun walks, lots of cuddles, and a completely safe environment. As a student, I have the flexibility to give them the care and company they deserve, treating them exactly as if they were my own Since I am a student, my schedule is highly flexible. I have plenty of free time to dedicate to playing, walking, and keeping your dog company. I am fully available on weekends, and during the week I can easily organize my study time to ensure your pet gets all the attention, bathroom breaks, and care they need throughout the day. Since I offer my sitting services at the owner's home, your dog gets the best of both worlds: staying comfortable in their familiar environment, while still enjoying plenty of fun outdoor walks, exercise, and playtime. Safety and trust are my absolute priorities. I am highly responsible, always keep a close eye on the pets in my care during our walks, and strictly follow your specific routines, feeding schedules, and household rules. You can have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and receiving dedicated, one-on-one attention both inside the house and out on our adventures

“I honestly cannot recommend Sofía highly enough!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️ From the moment we met during the Meet & Greet, Sofía felt like a family friend. She immediately made both Vida and me feel comfortable, and it was obvious how naturally she connected with him. She cared for Vida as if he were family. She was incredibly loving, attentive, and proactive throughout, sending regular photos, videos, and updates without me even having to ask. It gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear from every update that Vida felt happy, relaxed, and completely comfortable with her. He was loved, cared for, and understood, which is everything you could hope for when leaving your dog with someone. Sofía also stayed at my house and was completely respectful, trustworthy, and responsible. I came back to a clean, calm home, and she had even left me a Coca-Cola as a thoughtful little gesture after I had mentioned how much I love it. It was such a kind, personal touch, and perfectly reflects the type of person she is. She is kind, reliable, communicative, responsible, and truly wonderful with animals. I could not have chosen a better person to take care of Vida. I would book Sofía again in the blink of an eye and feel incredibly lucky to have found her. If you are considering booking her, do not hesitate for a second. Your pet will be in the very best hands. Thanks for everything, Sofía. You are the best! Steph ❤️”

About: Lifelong dog lover with years of experience caring for small and medium breeds. My pet care philosophy focuses on patience, love, and ensuring every walk is a fun adventure. I’m a big fan of walking and staying active, and there’s nothing better than having a sweet pup keep me company along the way! I attend a part-time English school midday, which makes my schedule very flexible! I am available for pet sitting every night, including weekends. I am also free in the mornings before 12:00 PM and in the evenings after 5:00 PM—perfect for an energetic morning stroll to start the day or a relaxing evening walk before bedtime.

About: I have been surrounded by animals for most of my life and have always had a special love for dogs and cats. Growing up, my family had several dogs and cats, which gave me experience caring for pets of different personalities, sizes, and needs. As the owner of a Border Collie, I developed a strong understanding of the importance of daily exercise, mental stimulation, and consistent care. We regularly went on long walks, played in parks, and enjoyed outdoor activities together. This experience taught me how to handle energetic dogs, recognize their needs, and ensure they feel happy, safe, and well cared for. I am comfortable with dog walking, feeding, providing companionship, playtime, and following owners' instructions regarding routines and special requirements. I understand that pets are family members, and I treat every animal with patience, kindness, and respect. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and enjoyable experience for your pets while giving you peace of mind knowing they are in caring hands. 🐾❤️ I am currently not working, so I have full availability throughout the week, including weekdays and weekends. I am flexible with morning, afternoon, and evening visits, and can easily adjust my schedule to meet your pet’s needs. I am happy to provide boarding, walks, and care at any time that works best for you. I provide attentive, responsible, and loving care for pets either in my home or in the pet owner’s home, always following the specific instructions given by the owner. I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed by maintaining their usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, playtime, and any medication if needed. I also pay close attention to their behavior and well-being, making sure they are happy and stress-free while their owners are away. For dogs, I enjoy regular walks, exercise, and interactive play to keep them active and engaged. For cats, I ensure a calm environment, clean litter boxes, fresh water, and gentle interaction according to their personality and comfort level. I treat every pet as if they were my own, with patience, care, and affection, always prioritizing their safety and happiness.

About: I grew up surrounded by dogs and farm animals, so caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. As an adult, I’ve continued sharing my life with both dogs and cats, and I truly enjoy spending time with them. I’m a biologist, and I’ve even had the chance to help with rabies vaccination campaigns in Africa alongside specialized veterinarians for several years. Friends and family often trust me to take care of their pets when they need a hand. I love going for walks, playing, and just hanging out with animals, it never feels like work to me! I am currently learning academic english in UCC and I am able to work after classes. I am available from 2pm onwards on Mondays and Tuesdays and the whole day on Fridays and weekends. I am free to overnight if needed. I am very flexible. I prefer to care for pets at the clients home; I live in a house that already have 3 dogs and bringing a extra pet will not be suitable. I will follow all the instructions from the client conscientiously on how the pet needs to be cared. Each pet have their own ways and it is very important to embrace their needs and personalities.

About: At a young age I started working with farm animals (mostly horses, goats and sheep). A few years ago I pet-sat a full year for a dog breeder / behaviourist which thought me a lot about dogs specifically. I have always had good instincts when it comes to most animals and have had a few of my own. Being in a new country makes me miss having dogs or cats around. I'm a full-time student in a new country. During weekdays I have around 8 hours of class. Usually from morning until 3/4 pm after that and during the weekends my schedule is very flexible. I live in student accommodation and cannot care for dogs in my house at the moment. I'll be more than happy to take them out for long walks or to care for them in their own houses.

About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for dogs. I provide loving and reliable care in your home, following your dog’s routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and medication if needed. I treat every dog as if they were my own and always prioritize their safety and well-being. Caring for pets is something I truly enjoy and naturally fits into my routine. I currently work part-time, which gives me flexibility to provide loving care, walks, playtime, cuddles, and plenty of attention. I’ll always do my best to keep your pet happy, comfortable, and feeling loved while you’re away, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages for extra peace of mind. I provide care in your pet’s own home, where they feel safest and most comfortable. I’ll carefully follow their usual routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and of course, lots of love and patience. I treat every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, relaxed, and cared for while you’re away.

“Erin was very helpful, detail focused, and provided great care for our two boys. They were delighted their walk and we were delighted with the updates and pictures. House was immaculate after her stay too. 100% will book again.”

About: I'm a reliable and caring animal lover with experience looking after my own pets. I currently have a dog and previously had a cat, so I understand that every animal has their own personality and needs. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, well cared for, and get plenty of attention, playtime and love. I'm currently only working on Saturday evenings, so I have plenty of flexibility throughout the rest of the week. This means I can give your pets the time, attention and care they deserve. I love being outdoors, so I'm always happy to take dogs on walks, play with them, and make sure they get lots of exercise and company while you're away. I understand that pets are happiest when they can stay in their own familiar environment, which is why I'm offering pet sitting in owners' homes. I'll always follow your routine and instructions carefully, whether that's feeding schedules, walks, medication or bedtime routines.

About: I’ve loved animals since childhood, growing up surrounded by cats, dogs, birds, guinea pigs, rabbits, and even chickens. My dream has always been to become a veterinarian, and this passion guides the way I care for every animal. In Brazil, I have a 2-year-old small dog who is lovingly cared for by my mother-in-law, another devoted dog lover. All the pets I’ve had throughout my life were adopted from shelters, because I believe every animal deserves a safe, loving home. I’ve also volunteered at animal shelters, helping abandoned animals receive care, comfort, and attention.


 I bring this same dedication to my work as a pet sitter. I adapt easily to each pet’s individual needs—whether they’re playful, shy, senior, or need extra care. I’m attentive to routines such as feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, and potty breaks, always following the owner’s instructions to maintain consistency and comfort. During walks, I prioritize safety by choosing calm routes, keeping a secure leash, and watching for any stress signals.


 For home visits or house sitting, I provide constant supervision, keep the environment clean, follow medication schedules if needed, and ensure pets feel relaxed and emotionally supported. My goal is for every pet to feel safe, loved, and at home while their family is away. Responsible, trustworthy, and compassionate, I treat every animal as if they were my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I truly enjoy spending time with animals. I’m organized, responsible, and able to dedicate time and attention to feeding, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and companionship. I’ve experience caring for dogs and understand the importance of patience, routine, and affection. I’m also a part-time student, so I attend school during the afternoons, but I still have flexibility to provide loving and reliable care before and after classes. I also keep pet owners updated with photos and messages so they can feel comfortable and confident while they are away. I provide a calm, safe, and loving environment for pets, always respecting their routine and personality. In a pet owner’s home, I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, medication, playtime, and house rules to help pets feel comfortable and secure. I’m attentive, patient, and detail-oriented, making sure pets are supervised and well cared for at all times. I do not smoke or drink, and I treat every pet with kindness, affection, and responsibility, just like they are part of the family. I also do not have any other pets in my home, which helps provide a quieter and more comfortable environment for the animals in my care.

About: I’ve been the family pet sitter for years with 2 of my own dogs, Bucky 6 and Sasha 4. Looking to earn some extra cash so thought why not do it doing something I love, looking after someone else’s babies 🥰. I have my own home with a large garden and I work from home so dogs are walked during my lunch break and again in the evening for a quick run around the local park. Outside of that your doggo can relax on the couch with my two and get lots of cuddles 🥰 I work from home for majority of the week - the longest your dog will be alone is 4 hours at a stretch. I walk a lot, so your dog will get adequate exercise depending on their needs. I usually take my dogs out a lunch time and in the evenings for a quick run around the park too. I have a large fenced garden. I also have a crate that I have made cosy so if your dog needs their own space they can sleep in the crate but also happy for them to sleep on the couch. I want your dog to feel at home, this is not a kennels.

About: I grew up with dogs, specifically a Jack Russell with attitude, and a Golden Labrador that was friendly, fun and stubborn. As an adult I have had cats, who gave come with their own personalities. I love dogs and cats of all sorts and love to see their personality shine through exercise and attention. I have lots of flexibility with my current job and looking to add some cat time!. I'm free most weekday mornings and early afternoons. Availability for some weekends. Cats have lots of personality - I like to adapt to their needs from the cats who never want to interact with you to those that want cuddles and playtime.
