A cat sitter who comes to your home
Cats would rather stay at home. Through Carinido you’ll find a cat sitter from your neighbourhood who visits while you’re away to give food and water, clean the litter tray and play for a while. You can also find a pet sitter for rabbits, guinea pigs and birds.
When a cat sitter visits
- A weekend away or a week’s holiday.
- A long working day or a few days in hospital.
- Medication that has to be given at set times.
- Watering the plants and bringing in the post, if you agree that with your sitter.
What does it cost?
Cat sitting is charged per home visit. On top of the rate you pay a 10% service fee, or nothing with a pass.
- Home visit: €10 to €15 a visit
These are guide prices. Every sitter sets their own rate.

Frequently asked questions
How often should a cat sitter visit?
You agree that with your cat sitter. Most owners choose one visit a day; for young cats or cats that need medication, two visits a day are better. You book each visit separately, so you pay for exactly what you’ve agreed.
Do I give the cat sitter my house key?
Yes, the sitter needs a key. So meet at your home first, show them where everything is and agree how you’ll get the key back. On the profile you can see which checks the sitter has completed.
How much does a cat sitter cost?
Each cat sitter sets their own rate; the rate per visit is on their profile. On top of that you pay a 10% service fee, or nothing with a pass.
Can the cat sitter give medication?
Some sitters can; it’s listed on their profile. Write down which medication, how much and when, and give them your vet’s number.
