Viki was amazing with our cat Daisy. She sent great updates with lots of cute photos and videos. Daisy seemed to really like her and they got along very well. Viki fed, brushed, played, and cuddled with her which we super appreciated. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wonderful sitter to take care of your cat!

About: Hi! I'm Constanza, and I've been an animal lover my entire life. I grew up with both dogs and cats and have always had them as part of my family, so I know how special they are and how much trust it takes to leave a pet with someone. While I'm new to professional pet care, my experience comes from a lifetime of hands, on care, from energetic puppies and playful kittens who need all the exercise and stimulation, to senior dogs and cats who just need a gentle pace, a cozy lap, and plenty of quiet cuddles. I'm based in Dublín and offer services tailored to your pet's unique personality. For dogs, that means walks full of fun, sniffing opportunities, and tail wags. For cats, that means playtime, companionship, and lots of gentle attention while you're away. I'm responsible, punctual, and will treat your pet with the same love and care I've given my own. I can't wait to meet your furry best friend! Pet care fits perfectly into my daily and weekly routine. I'm currently taking an English course from Monday to Friday in the mornings, which is why I'm available from 1:00 PM onwards on weekdays. On Saturdays and Sundays, I have full-day availability, so I can adapt to whatever your pet needs, whether it's a long walk, playtime, or just some company and cuddles while you're away. I'm committed to being reliable and punctual, and I'll always make sure your pet gets the attention and care they deserve. Since I offer dog walking and home visits, I always prioritize the safety and comfort of your pet in their own environment. When I visit your home, I make sure to follow your instructions carefully, whether it's feeding, playing, or just keeping them company. I'm very respectful of your space and always ensure doors and gates are properly closed to prevent any escapes. During walks, I keep dogs on a leash at all times unless we're in a safe, enclosed area you've approved. I avoid busy roads, stay alert to their body language, and make sure they have a fun but safe experience. I also carry water for them and avoid walking in extreme weather. I'll always send you updates and photos so you can see how happy and well-cared-for your pet is while you're away.

About: I’m truly passionate about animals and really miss being around them here in Dublin. I’m currently on an exchange program, and my three cats are back home in Brazil with my family. I’ve been surrounded by both cats and dogs since I was a child, and I worked as a pet sitter in Brazil for 5 years. I always make a point of getting to know each pet’s personality and routine so I can care for them in the best possible way. My service includes daily visits where I take care of feeding, hydration, and cleaning, as well as playtime, affection, and walks. This way, your pet will have all their needs met while waiting to welcome you back home. It would be a pleasure to take care of your pet. I study in the afternoon and work mornings on a flexible schedule. I’m available to take care of pets after 5 p.m. on weekdays, on some weekday mornings, and on weekends. Availability can be arranged directly with the pet owner. I offer home visits to provide the greatest comfort and care for your pet in their own environment. I take care of feeding, cleaning, playtime, and exercise, always making sure your pet feels safe and happy. I also send updates and photos during every visit so you can feel relaxed and reassured while you’re away. I’m a trustworthy and experienced pet sitter with loyal clients and a genuine love for animals.

About: Hi! My name is Jennifer, and I’m passionate about animals and their well-being. I have a background in veterinary medicine and several years of hands-on experience working with pets of all sizes and personalities. I’ve worked as a pet sitter and dog walker, providing care, companionship, and plenty of love for dogs, cats, and other pets while their owners are away. Whether it’s a short walk, a full day of pet sitting, or overnight care, I always make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy. My veterinary knowledge allows me to confidently handle pets with special needs, administer medications when needed, and quickly notice any signs of discomfort or health issues. I treat every animal as if they were my own — with patience, kindness, and lots of affection. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and truly passionate about animals, I’d love to help care for your pet! Pet care fits into my routine very well. I study in the afternoons during the week, so I’m available in the mornings and evenings. I’m also free on weekends, which gives me flexibility to take care of pets whenever needed. I dont offer pet care in my own home, but I’m happy to care for pets in the owner’s home. When I arrive, I take time to understand the pet’s routine, preferences, and any special needs. I always try to keep things as familiar and stress-free as possible, following feeding schedules, walk times, and any instructions given. My goal is to make the pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their own environment, while also keeping the owner updated and reassured.

About: I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities, including feeding, walks, playtime, grooming, and daily companionship. I also volunteered at an animal rescue NGO in Brazil, where I helped rescue abandoned animals and supported them in finding safe and loving homes, an experience that profoundly shaped my patience, responsibility, and genuine compassion for animals. A typical visit with me goes like this: I arrive, greet your pet calmly, check their food and water, spend quality time playing or petting, and then go for a walk that lasts between 30 minutes and 1 hour, depending on their energy level. After the walk, I make sure they are calm, comfortable, and never left alone for more than 2 hours at a time. I know how to handle anxious, fearful, or very agitated pets with extra care and have experience with animals that have special needs or require daily medication. When managing multiple bookings, I carefully organize visits to ensure that each animal receives the same level of attention and dedication; No animal ever feels rushed or neglected. Owners receive regular updates with photos and videos throughout the day for complete peace of mind. I always recommend a preliminary meeting before the first visit so your pet feels comfortable and confident from day one. I don't have children, I'm often available for last-minute bookings, and I've considered more distant locations for domestic cleaning services. Thank you. Layana I currently work during the afternoon, so I’m available for pet care in the mornings, evenings, and on some full days depending on my schedule. I focus on providing calm, loving, and attentive care, making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and happy in their own home and routine. I enjoy keeping dogs active and happy through walks, playtime, interactive games, and lots of attention and affection. I always adapt activities to each pet’s personality, energy level, and needs. At the moment, I don’t have a home with enough space to host pets, so I provide care in the owner’s home. I believe pets feel more relaxed and secure in their familiar environment. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and keeping the home clean and safe. I treat every pet with patience, affection, and responsibility.

Emergency transport and nearby vet clinics are always within reach.

About: Hello! I'm Lubi, I hope to help you take care of your pet! I had the privilege of being a kitten's mom for nine years, Fiona was playful and loving and brightened my days. And I was also a puppy's aunt, Toffy was sweet and very agitated. Since they left, I started taking care of pets for my friends and family. They count on me to feed, play and give a lot of attention and affection, thus ensuring that their pets are well while they need to be absent. I currently work part-time, so I can organize myself to take care of your pets. This includes visiting them, feeding them, and playing with them. I can care for pets in their owner's home, providing greater security and confidence for the pet by keeping them in their familiar environment. I am punctual and responsible, paying attention to detail. I maintain active communication with owners so they feel their pet is doing well.

About: About Jaine I love animals! I really miss Ziggy (my cat) and Ted and Amora (my dogs). I left them with my parents because I came here for an exchange program and couldn't bring them with me, but they are in great hands. Even from far away, I haven't stopped calling them every day and paying for their weekly visits to the pet shop and their food. I know how pure and important they are in our lives; they are like family, and it's impossible not to love them. That's why I keep in touch every day, because I miss them so much. If you want me to call you so 1 can see your pet, no problem, I would love to arrange that. I have an extra skill as a photographer and I love photographing pets. So, in addition to taking care of your pet with all the love and affection, I can take beautiful photos of your friend! But nothing your dog/ cat wouldn't want — I value candid photos that showcase the true personality and joy of pets. I believe that capturing these authentic moments creates lasting memories for their owners. Plus, I always maintain a safe and comfortable environment for the animals, ensuring that they feel happy and at ease during our sessions. Now, I have adopted an Irish cat and I am completely in love with him. I am sure that I will take care of your pet with the same love, affection and attention that I give to my own.
