Who are we?
We are cat people!
When Alice and Jason moved to Dublin from Paris in 2007, for the first time ever they had no family to help take care of their cat when they travelled. So they went looking and tried to look for a paid option. They quickly realised that there weren't that many options out there for cat people. Having a very difficult cat who doesn't travel well at all made going to a cattery a very difficult operation. Alice thought, 'Ha! I could start a cat sitting business!' They thought, 'Hey! Why not?'
Before they knew it, Alice left her office job and began cat sitting full time. Since then, the amount of cat families we have signed up to service has been growing every year. In 2012, as demand grew, we even started recruiting a few of our customers to join our team as cat sitters too! We have served hundreds of cat people all over Dublin ever since.
