Hi, I'm Catarina — a 29-year-old passionate and experienced pet sitter based in Rathnew, Co. Wicklow. Animals have been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember. Over the past 6+ years, I’ve turned that lifelong love into a rewarding professional journey, caring for dogs, cats, horses, and more. Most pets I care for end up becoming not just clients, but true friends — and so do their owners! I take an empathetic and thoughtful approach to pet sitting, always treating your pets as if they were my own. I genuinely believe it's the best job in the world. Living just 5 minutes from Wicklow Town and close to the beach, the Murrough dog park, Brittas Bay (15 min drive), and plenty of scenic trails, I’m in an ideal location for walks and adventures. I have a valid driver’s license and can handle vet visits or other essential trips if needed. Here’s what I offer: Pet sitting (short or extended stays) Dog walking and outdoor play Basic grooming and bathing Medication administration Daily photo/video updates and messages to keep you in the loop I always stick to your pet's usual routine and rules, ensuring a sense of comfort and familiarity. At home, I live with a happy and social Portuguese Water Dog who loves making new doggie friends — so your pet will likely have a companion too! I'm mostly available on weekends and during my work-from-home days. For both short-term and long-term stays, I'm happy to discuss what works best for you and your pet. If you’re looking for a reliable, kind, and experienced pet sitter, I’d love to chat. Let’s talk about how I can help care for your furry loved ones while you’re away!
