Cat Sitting in Belfast

About: When caring for pets, my priority is always their safety, comfort, and well-being. I tailor my care to each animal’s needs, following the owner’s instructions closely. This can include: Feeding and hydration – Providing fresh food and water at scheduled times, according to dietary requirements. Exercise and play – Taking dogs for walks, playing games, and providing enrichment activities to keep them physically active and mentally stimulated. Comfort and companionship – Spending quality time with pets to reduce stress, offering affection, and maintaining a calm, familiar environment. Hygiene – Cleaning food bowls, litter trays, and any messes promptly to keep the area hygienic. Health monitoring – Keeping an eye out for any signs of illness or discomfort, and informing the owner immediately if anything seems unusual. Home care (if visiting) – Respecting the pet owner’s home, securing doors and gates, and leaving everything clean and as found. Whether in my home or the owner’s home, I aim to keep the pet’s routine as normal as possible so they feel safe, secure, and happy while in my care.

“Paige did a wonderful job dropping in and walking Ronnie and Wally. She was in communication the whole time and took some lovely photos. I think the boys miss her! Will definitely book her again.”

“Caitlin has been an incredible help to me this year. My dogs adore her and when I return to them after she’s looked after them they are happier, calmer, better behaved. She has the magic touch for sure and I trust her to look after them. It takes so much stress out of travelling! When I used to put Ambrose in kennels I would return to a completely stressed out dog who hadn’t eaten/pooped/was completely panicked. Now when I come home it’s like nothing has even changed in his wee world - except for he seems super happy! The best.”

About: I’m a reliable and caring dog sitter with a genuine love for animals and hands-on experience looking after dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding routines, playtime or overnight care, I make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and happy while their owner is away. I understand how important it is to maintain consistency, so I follow each dog’s routine closely and provide plenty of attention and affection. With a strong sense of responsibility and a passion for animal wellbeing, I treat every dog as if they were my own. I work part-time so can provide daytime care 5 days per week. If your pet can be left alone during the day, I can provide sleepovers whenever needed. I look after pets in their own homes to maintain their comfort and routines. This adds a layer of safety by having someone occupy your house while you are away. I am extremely clean and tidy so you will always be returning to a well looked after house as well!

“Brilliant sitter, felt so at ease from the beginning. A pleasure to talk to about Winnie and she was very attentive making sure the cat got everything she needed while I was out of the country. Will book again for sure!”

About: I love animals, and volunteered with the shelter Almost Home. On an average shift I was feeding/cleaning up after/playing with/giving medications to a few dozen dogs of all breeds - from tiny chihuahuas to giant mastiffs. Working in rescue I have plenty of experience with nervous dogs and have a pretty good track record of making them feel more at ease with a bit of time (and chicken!) I'm a student but from mid May, my schedule is pretty flexible until September and I can walk/play/feed etc whenever necessary, so house sitting and drops ins is ideal for me. I cannot have pets in my accommodation as I rent, but am happy to care for your pet in your home however you normally would so their routine is kept as normal as possible. If you would like updates, I'm happy to send as many as you would like for peace of mind and photos of what they're getting up to.

“Aimee was great with Alfie and Maisie and provided me with lots of lovely photos! 🥰”

About: My partner Sarah and I both love animals and give them as much attention as they require ☺️ We currently have an 8 year old beagle who is diabetic and blind in one eye. So we are well used to giving attention, belly rubs, sniff requests and giving different types of medication - injections, eye drops and oral. We have senior cat experience with our late cat Tabby who had arthritis and was on multiple medications. My partner and I work from home with one of us available to stay with the animals, available most evenings and weekends with enough notice. My own dog will be in the house. The back garden is completely fenced and covered, even my own little escape artist hasn’t found a way to escape just yet. House is fully free to roam for all animals.

“Beth was great! She sent photos of Sohla during her check in and kept in touch. Would definitely recommend and book again.”

About: Hi, I’m Eleonora 😀 I live in a nice and quiet area and my cozy house is a 5 min walk away from Ormeau Park so long walks and lots of play time are guaranteed. I have been around dogs our whole lives and my love for them has only grown. I like sending regular updates as I know that it can be hard being away from your best friends. A meet and greet can be arranged so that you could see the area and meet me in person before confirming the booking.Please note that I’m only available from 6pm on Fridays. I offer the boarding service at the weekends and while I’m on annual leave. This is cause my focus will be on your pets and I want to make sure to have plenty of time to play with them. This is also the main reason why I only accept one pet at a time. I am a really active person and I love having long walks in the park which is close to our lovely apartment. At the moment I don’t have any pets, therefore I can give extra care to your best friends during their boardings. I am flexible around drop off and pick up times and I will send regular updates.

About: Hi! My name is Kyra, and I'm originally from the states now living in Belfast. I grew up with cats and dogs and have always loved spending time with pets. I started pet sitting for friends, families, and neighbours before gaining two years of experience working with all sorts of furry friends through new clients on Rover. Every client of mine has their own unique personality and needs, and I approach each new job with an open mind to give the best care possible. During the week, I am usually available for early morning, lunchtime, or evening check-ins, and I am available most weekends. I am also available for overnight stays with enough advance notice. I always make sure your pet feels safe and at ease with a new person in the house. In addition to routine feeding and hygiene, I also dedicate time each visit for playing and attention to keep them happy and relaxed while you’re away.

“Caitlin done a fantastic job looking after Opal while I was away for 4 nights. She was extremely reliable, turned up on time and stayed the full 30mins on each visit to make sure Opal was fed, had her medication, had fresh water and a clean litter tray. She sent me plenty of photos during each visit and made sure to spend some time playing with Opal which I really appreciated. Put my mind at ease and was able to enjoy my time away. Thanks again Caitlin and will definitely be booking you again in the future 😁😁”

About: Consistently had dogs and cats in my life through family dogs, as well as friends who often trust me with their precious paws. I used to be a dog groomer too, for four years. During the week only evenings are free including Friday. Weekends are free with advance notice of booking from yourself, if booking it out with one day drop me a message and I will see if I can accommodate 😃 I have a large fenced garden, and a grass area available. If at your home I will be on hand and happy to adhere to your schedule/care routine.

“Aoife is a star. Her communication is excellent and this made me confident to book her to drop in on my dog for the first time yesterday. She did a great job, put me at ease and sent me lovely updates. I'm booking Aoife now on a more regular basis as result.”

About: Hi, my name is Dave 👋 I live just off the Ormeau Road and I’ve been running a doggy daycare for 6 years! I also spent 4 years volunteering with the WSPCA (a local dog charity down home), which gave me hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments - from bouncy puppies to sleepy seniors. We cared for a lot of rescue dogs and worked on getting them back on their paws and re-homed with new families 🐕 Whether your pup is shy, playful, or full of energy, I take the time to get to know them and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away 🤗 I work from home, which means your dog will get plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day. Between work calls and study breaks (I’m currently doing a master’s for my sins 🐶📚), I love having a furry friend around for walks and play breaks in the yard. I can adapt their exercise schedule depending on their individual needs. Typically if they were with me for 24 hours, we’d have a 45 min walk in both the morning and evening along with two shorter 5/10 minute walks throughout the day to let them do their business. For off-leash dogs, if I’m confident they have good recall and I feel we’ve bonded enough for them to come back to me, I’d sub in some time to play fetch or just let them do their daily zoomies. I’m around most weekdays and weekends, so whether you need regular daytime care or weekend sitting, I’ve got you covered! Your pup’s safety is my top priority. My home is a secure, dog-friendly space where they can relax and explore. The fully fenced backyard space is perfect for safe outdoor time, even for the most clever escape artists! I always keep a close eye on the dogs in my care, follow your routine as closely as possible, and make sure they feel right at home.

“Lisa was great she arrived early and took Alfie and Maisie on a great walk! She sent some lovely photos and kept me updated during her visit.”
