About Me

Passionate Cat Sitter in South Dublin

Hey, I'm Carmel - a professional pet minder for the past few years.

Cats are especially dear to me since taking in kittens with my family 8 years ago. From looking after cats over the past few years I continue to find it fascinating how intricate cats' personalities are and I would be honoured to get to know your cat :)

If your cat is very shy, don't worry - I have experience with feral cats so I understand how anxious they can get. I took one in a few years ago and if there is one thing I have learned from that experience, it is the power of patience! And lots of love 💕

Additionally, I had the opportunity to work on an animal sanctuary in Germany a few years ago where I spent a lot of time getting to know rescued farm animals and how to look after them.

This deepened my love for taking care of pets when I came back to Dublin to study.

From having my own cats, I've gained a good understanding of common issues they face and how they're dealt with, and this has really enhanced my confidence of taking care of all sorts of cats, whether they're little kitties or the seniors of the house! On top of that, I also hold a valid canine first aid certificate.

My house visits are between 30-45 minutes.

I also regularly do overnight house sitting and this is great for cats who are used to regular attention and company.

Before minding your cat, I will arrange a meet-and-greet so that I can get to know a bit about them (and hopefully meet them!) and you can ask me any questions.

This reassures both of us and I aim to ensure you are happy and stress-free knowing your fur baby will be taken care of the way you like.

  • Price for two visits/day is €45 (unable to edit the price from €35 currently).

*Areas out of the 5km radius will be an additional €5/visit due to travel expenses.

  • Bank Holidays / Public Holidays incur an additional 30% fee.

My visits would include feeding, cleaning, and playing with them - and of course having all the cuddles! Each cat has their own needs so I would accommodate to what best suits them.

    Carmel is fantastic! She takes this responsibility seriously and communicated with us perfectly. Our kitty gave her a bumpy start but she handled it and moved at a pace that worked for our cat which kept her safe, fed and cared for while we were on holiday. We will happily have Carmel back for our next holiday.

    Carmel is our go-to sitter. It is obvious that she takes an amazing care of him, he is always stress-free when we come back. She is super responsive, sends many videos and photos from the visits which helps a great deal to have peace of mind. She is so friendly and we always appreciate her help with our beloved baby, looking forward for more

    Carmel looked after Mitty for a week and her commitment gave me great peace of mind. She shared regular updates and photos/videos and kept me informed about his well-being and activities every day. Mitty isn't the easiest cat but he was all happy and content when I came back, thanks a lot for all the time and effort you put into his happiness!

    Carmel is a delight. It was obvious from the moment I came home that my girl Lollipop had really enjoyed her date with Carmel. She was her happy, cuddly self which was lovely and not a bit of the blues which she sometimes feels when I have an office day. Carmel was super accommodating and friendly when making the booking too.

    Carmel is simply wonderful! We came home to two very happy cats, and knowing they were being looked after so well while away was very reassuring. Carmel is so reliable, punctual, a great communicator and kind. I couldn't recommend her more :-)

    This was our first experience with Carmel and it was a great one. Carmel looked after my cats very well and I came back home with happy well fed cats. She also cleaned up after one of my cats and left the house clean as well. We will be booking her services again for sure.

    This was our 3rd time having Carmel take care of our two cats, and she once again did a wonderful job. The cats were healthy, happy, and Carmel's communication was excellent; we especially loved getting the videos she sent over of the cats: just a bit of cuteness to cheer us up twice per day :)

    Thanks again Carmel!

    This is the second time Carmel has taken care of our kitties and she once again did a wonderful job. We got videos of our kittens twice per day, which were always fun to watch, and it was comforting to see that our cats were safe and well taken care of. Carmel was even kind enough to take out the trash. We came home to two happy cats. Thanks again Carmel!

    Carmel totally put me at ease from our first meeting. She clearly knows cats very well and got on brilliantly with mine. He was very well looked after while I was away and Carmel sent daily messages, photos and videos to let me know how it was all going. This totally put me at ease and I couldn't recommend Carmel more.

I absolutely recommend her
