“Kathryn was very professional and caring to our puppy. We requested her to call over for a bathroom break and to give her her food/water. She went above and beyond and cleaned up a small accident our puppy had indoors. Will definitely be requesting her to visit again. Thanks again”


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.

I’m currently studying to be an airline pilot so my schedule is very flexible aa i get booked for flight lessons the day im flying. Everyday is different times, but I always have a few hours free each day. I have had dogs big and small my whole life and I am well prepared to walk and clean up after and care for dogs

About: I've been surrounded by animals my whole life. I had a dog when I was little, and for the last 12 years, I'm the mom of a little furball cat. I've looked after dogs and cats for some friends at different times in my life. Recently, here in Cork, after looking a friend's cats, I decided to use my love for animals to help people like my friend who have to travel and can't take care of their furry friends. I recently stopped working due to back problems and I would love to be able to dedicate my free time to helping and caring furry friends. I live in a shared apartment, so it's easier to care for the animals in their own homes. I'm a clean and organized person, and I have no problem picking up droppings or cleaning cat litter. When you return to your home, it will be as if you were never gone.
About: I have grown up with dogs and cats my whole life, and really miss having my family home pets around. I would be more than happy to have some snuggles to keep your fur babies company while you are away! :) I’m currently working full time but have time on weekends or evenings to care for your pets! I also live a short walk from work and tend to go home on my lunch breaks, if your pet is independent I have a very small area out the back of my house which is completely enclosed, and I’m more than happy to have them on the couch or on the bed, whatever they would prefer

About: I have a lot of experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages, from energetic pups and playful kitties to sweet seniors who just need a calm routine. I know how to read their body language to keep them happy and safe, and since I live right in the City Centre, I’m always nearby and reliable. You’ll get plenty of photo updates throughout the day! I’m also a pharmacist and covered veterinary science during my degree, so if your pet needs any medication, I’m completely comfortable following precise medical instructions and dosages. I have classes Monday to Thursday from 1 pm to 5 pm and work part-time in a café. This leaves my mornings, evenings, and full weekends completely free for pet sitting! Since I live right in the City Centre, I can easily fit in early morning walks, evening drop-ins, or full weekend care around your pet's schedule. I’m completely flexible and happy to help with whatever service you need, whether it's at my place or yours. If they stay at my apartment, they’ll have a large space to relax and play. For care at your home, I can pop in to sort out their food and water, clean the litter box, or take them out for a walk. Safety is always my priority, and I’ll make sure to send you plenty of photos throughout the day.

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.

“Paula was incredible with my dog, a 1 year old Belgian Malinois cross. My dog is quite picky with people and can be a bit of a handful. Paula had her eating out of her hands within seconds. I couldn't believe how Pepper responded to her. It was like she knew her for months. Paula is one of those rare individuals that understands animals and whos calmness is picked up by them. I wouldn't hesitate to book Paula again or reccomend her to anyone considering hiring her.”

About: Hi everyone im Vicky and my friends and family have described me as loving dogs more than people. I grew up with dogs mainly hunting breeds such as springer spaniels and red setters but love all breeds big and small. At the moment we have two dogs Missy who is a Brittany spaniel and Susie a working cocker but more often than not my uncles collie Rubble who is a good boy is the girls third wheel. I have a three year old little boy who is as mad about dogs as I am. The dogs are all house dogs and are allowed on the furniture Missy sleeps in the bed with myself and my husband. I walk my dogs off lead in the fields surrounding my house twice a day for about an hour each time and will do the same for your pooch if they are our guest. Our dogs are part of the family and any dog we are caring for would be treated the same. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact me or if you would like to arrange a meet and greet send me a message looking forward to hearing from you and your pet! I currently am a stay at home mum to my three year old who is as mad about dogs as I am we have two dogs of our own and my uncles dog during the day and they are with me inside my home at all times they are walked off lead for one hour in the morning and one hour in the afternoon in nearby private fields. I have a large garden at the bottom of a cul de sac we do have a gate that will be closed if necessary but I do not allow the dogs outside without me and so your pet along with mine will be supervised at all times are dogs are inside dogs and are allowed in every room and on all furniture and so your dog will have the same privileges. I will walk your pet along with my own dogs twice a day and will keep them on the lead until they become used to the terrain or I can always walk them on the lead if necessary.
About: Since I was 12, I’ve been walking a Jack Russell several times a week. Over the years, I've also cared for my friends' dogs while they were away. Now that I’ve moved from the Netherlands to Cork, I really miss being around dogs, so I’m looking forward to meeting yours! I started studying at UCC this September, so the walks/visits will be scheduled around my college timetable. I'm fully available on most fridays, saturdays, and sundays. I'm happy to visit your house to walk your dog, play with them for a bit, or stay longer if needed. I'll make sure they get the attention and exercise they need.
About: My name is Timi, originally from Hungary, but I grew up in Spain. I live here in Cork for 7 years and got the citizenship. I live with my 17 year old son. I work from home with a very flexible work schedule. I grew up with a German Shepherd and a Labrador and two house cats. I worked in three big pet shops in Budapest. We were selling hamsters, birds, bunnies, different type of lizards, tarantulas, snakes, turtles, tortoises, mice, rats, guinea pigs, ferrets, fish, chameleons, chinchillas, chipmunks, and other small pets. We also had grey parrots, and I made friends with a cockatoo. I had an Irish Setter that I loved very much. Then, I had a Basset Hound, a Chinese soft-shell turtle, and a Persian cat at the same time. Later, while working in the pet store, I took in a pregnant hamster that had 15 pups. I also had dwarf hamsters and guppies. I went to the Budapest Zoo two times a year where I could feed the elephants by handing them an apple or a carrot. It was an amazing experience. I also visited a country side zoo where I could pet lion cubs for a short time, and a Zoo cafe where you could hold onto different small pets. I moved to Spain where I had 10 budgies in an aviary on the balcony, and rescued a rosy-faced lovebird and a yellow-collard lovebird. They fell in love with each other and became a couple. I have a cat here in Cork. It is an outdoor cat. I made friends with a robin who was coming to my hand for two years. He was also coming into my room to eat. I have some magpie friends who are coming to my window to ask for dry cat food. I can take your dog for a walk or do daily visits and feed your cat or dog. Unfortunately, I can't host any animals in my home anymore because animals are not allowed inside the rental. I also would be happy to feed your hamster, bird, reptile, or any other small animal you have and clean their space. I have experience with most of them due to working in pet shops for many years. I am available any time. I can send you photos and updates about your pet anytime. I am working from home Mon-Thu 5 pm, Fri 4 pm. I can also walk your dog or feed your cat and another pets on any weekend or bank holiday. I feed your pet, clean their plates and their place, clean the cat toilet, rub them, play with them, brush them, and give them lots of love.
The median cost per Visit for pet sitting in Cork is €13

Thanks to Erin for looking after Bailey so beautifully. I left a few instructions for Erin on Baileys care and she followed every one, he is not the best of eaters and he even put on a little weight which is great. I would highly recommend Erin for pet sitting and hope to get her to sit again in the future :)

Paula was incredible with my dog, a 1 year old Belgian Malinois cross. My dog is quite picky with people and can be a bit of a handful. Paula had her eating out of her hands within seconds. I couldn't believe how Pepper responded to her. It was like she knew her for months. Paula is one of those rare individuals that understands animals and whos calmness is picked up by them. I wouldn't hesitate to book Paula again or reccomend her to anyone considering hiring her.

We were so grateful that Debbie was able to care for our cat while we were away. We got daily updates which were very much appreciated, and our cat was very relaxed when we returned which is always such a wonderful sight. I have no reservations in recommending Debbie.

Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.
