About Me

Cat sitter in Dublin

Hello fellow cat lovers! My name is Elaine and I've been looking after cats for 25+ years. I volunteer for animal shelters around Dublin weekly, including the DSPCA and Dogs Aid. In between shifts, I spend my time looking after my own four rescue cats and sometimes, foster kittens!

As a cat owner, I hate the idea of leaving my cats alone in a metal cage - I would definitely prefer to have them in the comfort of their own home, being looked after by someone who will play with them throughout the day, giving them non-stop love and attention.

This is exactly why I signed up for this website! I want to make sure that other people can have the comfort of knowing their kitties are being looked after by someone who utterly adores cats.

When you book me, you can know for sure that your fur babies are in safe hands! And for extra assurance, I will keep you updated throughout the day with both messages and photos!

    Elaine met with me twice in advance of looking after my two cats, giving me lots of confidence that she was the right person to take care of them. She communicated regularly and sent lots of photos, and my two cats were happy and healthy when I returned. Have already booked Elaine again and would highly recommend her.

    As usual Elaine looked after our kitty so well while we were away, she brings her own toys which our cat LOVES and plays so well. Great communication and updates with photos and videos so we know kitty is ok while we are away. Highly recommend!

    As the first time leaving Alex alone for so long (2 weeks), we were worried about his well-being, but we were so lucky to have found Elaine! She visited him every day, sent us photos and videos, and it was clear how happy he was with the company, even though he is usually very shy around new people. Thank you so much, Elaine!

    Elaine was amazing with the cats! She figured out their favourite types of toys and play. She was great spending time with them giving them cuddles, play time and grooming. We really appreciated all of the news Elaine gave with how the cats are doing, with lots photos and videos. Thanks Elaine!

    Elaine was wonderful with our two boys! You can tell she is a true cat lover with lots of experience. Elaine was attentive to all our requests around feeding etc. and spent so much time playing with them. Very detailed daily updates with lots of pictures let us have peace of mind over the holidays. Happy cats and happy cat parents recommend 🐾

    Great comms. Came to visit kitties prior ensuring everyone was comfortable. Lovely and friendly. Sent us vids and pics which was lovely. Elaine even brought along some of her own toys for the cats which I think is awesome and I am so sure my cats did too! 10/10

    It's obvious Elaine is a cat lover, she's looked after my 2 cats a few times now and is great at sending photos and videos every day and giving me an update. She brings her own bag of toys to play for the girls to play with which they love!

    Elaine was absolutely fabulous and our cat had a great time with her. She sent loads of updates, and we came home to a cat who was tuckered out from all the playing and fun times he had with her. 100% amazing experience!

    Elaine is an amazing cat sitter. We have used her several times in the past, including this summer when we were abroad for 2 weeks. We came home to 3 happy, well-settled kitties who lacked for nothing in our absence. While we were away we got daily photo and video updates showing our kitties playing, getting pets, & relaxing at home. Thanks Elaine!

    We had another fantastic experience with Elaine (and Imogen!). Their care and attention to our two kittens was just brilliant - we had daily updates with pictures and videos, and both were so thoughtful in remembering which toys our kittens loved. We are so grateful to have had such peace of mind while away, the kittens miss them already!

    Elaine was just brilliant with our two kittens - it was our first time leaving them so we were a little nervous to, but she had us completely at ease at the meet and greet. She kept us updated daily on how they were doing and brought a whole bag of toys for them to play with! We have already booked Elaine for our next trip, thank you so much!

    Elaine is a brilliant cat sitter. We have three kitties and all 3 of them were happy, content and just as normal when we came home from 5 days away recent. She is great about understanding each cat's individual personality and needs and knows just what to do to draw each one out and make sure they feel secure and happy while their people are away!

    Elaine was great. Took great care of and entertained our 2 quite complicated (specials diets, medications etc.) maniacs while we were away. We need to invest in more cat toys as Elaine’s collection seemed to keep them very interested.

    100% recommended.

    Elaine has been absolutely amazing and we came back to a happy cat. She sent us lots and lots of pictures and videos and a long message each day with what they got up to. She has brought her own bag of toys and gave Rayla all the attention possible each day and we were able to relax on our holidays without worrying about Rayla! The best catsitter!

    Adding another review as I’ve used Elaine a few times since the last one.. all I can add is, if you are anxious like me about your baby being ok while you are not there, having Elaine to look after he/she will take all that away. She genuinely cares for your kitty’s wellbeing and will keep you informed of how she is, with honesty.. mine has food /weight issues and she really goes above and beyond to work out what to feed her.. Thanks again Elaine for all that you do for my Buddy 😻🐾

    My first time using Cat in a flat and to have found Elaine like I did, I feel very lucky.. She was absolutely perfect with my baby, my cat does have a few tummy issues which was no problem for Elaine whatsoever which always has been a concern of mine.. I came home to a spotless home, everything I asked for was done and one VERY happy not stressed out cat. I will defo be using her again..

    We've engaged Elaine as our cat sitter on two occasions now and both times she has been fabulous. She communicates promptly, and was easy to make arrangements with. While we were away on holiday (for 10 days and two weeks respectively) she sent us daily text updates on our two kitties and sent many photos and videos of them, which was great because we could see how well they were doing and also because it helped us miss them less while we were away! Elaine is great at bonding with and drawing out our mopey kitties who are always a little dejected at being left behind when we're on holiday. Our kitties are always well cared for and and happy when we return. I recommend Elaine with full confidence!

    Elaine was absolutely amazing with our 2 babies (cats). My guys are very needy in terms of human attention and she was an angel in the 2 weeks we were gone. She sent us daily videos and pictures showing us how much fun they're having together, a lot of playing and cuddling going on. She also went the extra mile when we required her help with additional stuff. She was very helpful with everything. I can't recommend her enough!
