Helping Catriona was my first experience at Workaway and I couldn't have asked for a better start. I spent two weeks at Catriona's but would have loved to stay longer. Catriona and her family made sure that I felt welcomed and had everything I needed. Spending time with her and the cats was amazing and the landscape was breathtaking.

I was supposed to stay only one week at Catriona’s place in Aughrim but I ended up staying 2 more days and I would love to come back any time.

Catriona’s place is a made place, as she likes to call it, but it’s a nice made place. The house is full of cats, because it’s winter and Catriona won’t leave them outside in the cold. If you like cats… read more

I am now in Catriona's house and I can say I was very lucky to find her as my first Workaway experience.
I had to practice my English and Catriona was really nice and patient to repeat everything I need and give me useful advices. She pays attention to your needs and makes you feel very welcome and safe.

I am currently staying at Catriona's place and will be very sad to leave in a couple of days. From the first day, I felt welcome and at home. The house is beautiful (also the volunteer's bedroom and private bathroom) and the cat runs outside are very bright and cosy. The work is light and easy: clean the cat runs everyday and feed them in the… read more

I have Caroline now with me for over 1 week and will sadly be leaving on Saturday. She is lovely girl and has been an enormous help here. She is fantastic with the animals and very hard working. She is perfect in every way and I cannot have enough praise for her. Wish her all the best in her new travels and projects.

Catriona is a lovely lady, sometimes she was like a second mother to me. She is very caring and welcoming, and she can cook great (vegetarian) dishes! Also, she really made a big effort to show me around in County Wicklow, I think I have seen every sight there now :-D
The help has mainly to do with the cats, feeding and cleaning. There are also… read more

Catriona was a wonderful and very positive host. She´s a great cook too! I really enjoyed my 3 weeks stay at her cat rescue. Working with her cats and dog, and doing the chores is quite easy and you´ll have plenty of leisure time, to explore the village or the Wicklow mountains. I highly recommend her.

Shannon stayed here for 3 weeks and cannot rate her highly enough. She was a great worker in the house and with the animals. Totally trust worthy and honest. An asset to anyone who gives her a placement.

For my first workaway experience, I was really lucky to meet Catriona. The two weeks I spent here in the cat rescue have passed so quickly ! Wonderful landscapes, wonderful cats, wonderful food, wonderful people, I could not have been in a better place. Thank you again for everything, I had a really great time here !
