Alice Chau-Ginguené

I am a cat behaviourist and professional cat sitter. I have a passion for all animals but am particularly fascinated by the felines. Since I moved to Ireland 3 years ago from France, I see how cat’s welfare is underrated in this country compared to most European countries. Through the work of my company and my writing, I am determined to change the way Irish people see cats as only ‘a pair of farm hands’ to our companions, friends and important family members.

I live with two cats. Larm Larm has been my best friend for 7 years. He travelled with me from Hong Kong to France and then to Ireland. He has been on plane, cars and ferries and never has any problem. Fa Fa is a new addition to my family, she is the sweetest little girl. Both of them are my constant inspiration.

Why us?

Trust: Member of Pet Sitters International, I comply with the Code of Conduct and Ethics - Standard of Quality set up by the internationally recognized association.

Convenience: No more embarrassment to impose duty on family members, friends or neighbours who just don't know how to say no. Also, no judgment on cat fanatic behaviour!

Reduced cost and stress: Unnecessary vaccinations and transportation required to a cattery are a thing of the past! Cats are known to be being territorial animals. In the comfort of their own, familiar surroundings, cats will be so much more relaxed than in a cattery.

Personalized service: Special needs and budgets will be entertained as much as possible.

Flexibility: You can contact me anytime, no matter which time zone you are in.

Reliability: An in-house contingency plan is in place in case I myself get into an accident. I will carry a "I am a professional cat-sitter, there are cats under my care, please contact my back-up at __________" card at all time in case of unexpected injury or illness.

Professionalism: I am trained to handle feline behaviour and feline first aid. During each visit, I will be equipped with a feline first aid kit and specialized cat toys to reduce stress.

Security: Client's keys will be locked in a safe in my office. I will be the only person with access to the safe. No address will be marked on the keys. Your contact details will be stored in a computer file with password login. Only I will have access to this data.
