Cats’ New Best Friend in Dublin

Hi, I’m Ilgım and I live in Dublin. If you’re looking for someone who truly understands cats (not just “likes” them), you’re in the right place. I work in retail and spend most of my free time walking around the city, listening to music, or relaxing at home with a good book. I’ve always felt a special bond with cats, I love how independent, gentle, and full of character they are. I grew up around cats and have shared my life with them for many years, so I understand their different personalities and needs. Whether a cat is playful, shy, or prefers their own space, I’m patient and naturally adapt to them. For me, cats are not just pets, but little companions with big personalities, and I genuinely enjoy making them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I’d love to meet your cat and make them feel at home while you’re away.

Safety, trust & environment

I always prioritize safety, trust, and a calm environment. I carefully follow all instructions you provide, including feeding routines, medication, and special needs. I respect your home as if it were my own and make sure your cat stays in a safe and peaceful space. I also pay close attention to their behavior to quickly notice if anything seems off.

Ilgim is a brilliant sitter - far above all expectations. She communicated regularly and clearly, and my cat was clearly happy, safe and relaxed during my holiday. Many many thanks. Will hire again! Couldn’t have asked for someone better☺️🐱

Schedule

As a true cat lover, I naturally connect with cats and understand their unique personalities. My goal is to make your cat feel safe, relaxed, and loved while you’re away. Whether your cat is playful, shy, or independent, I adapt to their energy and respect their space. I treat every cat as if they were my own, making sure their routine stays consistent and stress-free. Pet care fits easily into my daily life as I keep a flexible schedule. I can visit once or multiple times a day depending on your needs, and I make sure to plan my week around the pets I care for. This allows me to give each cat enough time, attention, and consistency without rushing.

Ilgim can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
To provide the best care, I’d love to know about your cat’s personality, routine, and any special needs. Information about their likes, dislikes, fears, or favorite toys really helps me build trust with them. Knowing how they react to new people also allows me to create a more comfortable and stress-free experience.
