Cindy was wonderful. Ralph took to her the moment she arrived. She was proactive and generous when Ralph had a bad tummy, she kept me posted daily on his wellbeing as he had some back issues the week before I left, and she sent great pics! The apartment was returned in an excellent state, and Cindy even washed the sheets and towels. Highly recommend!
Pancho is a sweet cat who likes having his neck scratched and who enjoys sitting on your lap. We loved hanging out with him. Mr. Red, the outdoor cat, also loves to be pet and likes very much being brushed. She is impossibly cute. Churro comes and goes, and is on the shy side. This was an easy housesit as the cats are adorable, the location is convenient (only a short walk to San Miguel's centro), and Julie and George are an easy-going and friendly couple who provided a detailed written guide with all the information you need. We stayed in the bigger casita, which is well-equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay (including a lovely patio with beautiful plants and flowers), and high speed wifi. This is a great housesit and a fantastic opportunity to hang around one of the prettiest towns in Mexico.
Julieanne , Christophe and family have created a lovely comfortable home full of gorgeous animals. and we really enjoyed sharing it. We were given a great welcome on the first night, and enjoyed a delicious meal with the family. The house itself is really cosy with the log fire, and a bright sunny kitchen, and it’s in a great area. We had lovely walks straight from the door with dogs Bruce and Boss showing us the way. We decided that Boss doesn’t go for a walk-he goes for a bounce. !! He’s just so happy all the time ( although I think he sometimes thinks he’s a cat when choosing the comfiest place to sleep) And Bruce is just a solid lump of gentle loveliness. So glad he was rescued by this kind family and can spend his days being loved , fed and cared for. Both dogs were so well behaved and in spite of there being quite a few animals to keep an eye on, including the cute chickens , they were all really easy to look after ( especially using the self feeder for the cats and chickens.) The chickens put themselves to bed, and we used to compete to be first up in the morning, to be the one to have the pleasure of letting them out. So funny to watch - and often an egg or two to collect. The cats alternated between doing their own thing and needing warm snuggles and strokes, and the whole menagerie just created a lovely atmosphere together. Another wonderful sit for us that would be a privilege to repeat and we’d thoroughly recommend it for anyone looking for a welcoming sit , with lots of easy to care for animals, in a beautiful part of France. Thanks very much to Julieanne, Christophe and the rest of the family and hope to see you and the animals again sometime.
Angela was a lovely lady very helpful and easy to communicate with. The cats were no trouble at all and Bobby was friendly and liked to sleep at the foot of my bed. Jasper was a little bit shy but would allow me to pet him a little.
It was amazing! So many memories in the colourful house with complete facilities. The house owner is antique collector. Being sitter here has opened up a very special experience for us. The neighborhood is surrounded by shady, beautiful and very convenient to travel. Whiskey is so cute and friendly. Very easy to look after her! The kindness of the owner and his cheerful dog made us very happy during our stay here. We will miss you guys forever.
I had a wonderful week with Hula Girl! She’s a very sweet and smart pup, and quite cuddly once you tire her out! She always likes to know where you are (especially if you have the audacity to close the bathroom door on those bright blue eyes, haha!) and looooves being outside. She’s a really good walker and wants to play with every dog she meets. We went to a nearby dog park a couple of times and she ran around and played really well with the other dogs, many of whom were much bigger than her. She is still a puppy, so her listening can be a little less than perfect if she’s locked onto something. All of her food, routine and toys were easily accessible and Jean left a detailed guide book with instructions. There were also pages with photos for using some of the amenities, like the tvs and the fire pit. The house itself is so beautiful and tranquil - truly a spectacular place to stay. Everything around the house was comfortable, clean and easy to care for. I had a fantastic time and would happily come back to stay with Hula again!
I had such a wonderful time sitting for Gus! Lisa and her husband made everything super easy for me, from picking up the keys, to putting together an awesome welcome guide, with clear instructions on how to care for Gus, along with great recommendations for their neighborhood! It was super inspiring to stroll down the streets of Chinatown and to also spend time in their creative and welcoming space. This was definitely one of my favorite sits and I felt so lucky to care for Gus. He's sincerely the sweetest and most playful. I highly recommend this sit :)

I can't recommend Belinda highly enough! She has been walking our dogs now for a year and a half, twice a week every week, and is so professional, reliable and our dogs absolutely love her! We know they are in good hands when we are in work, and they absolutely love their walkies with her. She has been there for us last minute when we needed, and has even come and minded the dogs in the house post surgeries etc when their walking was limited. We would be lost without her! Sarah, Kieran, Bosco and Bailey
I have my frenchie walked every other week by Belinda with this company and I can't recommend them enough. Belinda took time out of her day to firstly visit myself and Luna so that she could get to know her a bit before she started her walks and answer any questions i had as well as making sure she knew all the important things regarding Lunas requirements/personality. Not surprisingly they became best friends instantly as Belinda has such a warm and kind energy to her. I have been using her service for three months now and I couldn't be happier. Belinda is always on time, super reliable and always sends me a text to let me know how Luna got on. I would definitely recommend this company to anyone in the south kildare area looking for someone they can trust with their precious fur babies while they have to leave them to go to work. She even got a little Halloween present on her last walk with her 😍😍😍 love them
100% recommend for dog minding and wedding service. Belinda took care of our dog Misha before, during and after our wedding ceremony in Ballintubbert House and Gardens. She lives nearby which was ideal. She arrived in advance and brought her for a walk around the venue while everyone was getting ready, took care of her during the ceremony and was waiting for us after and we got gorgeous wedding photos with our dog ☺ she stayed around for some of the drinks reception where lots of our guests could say hello to Misha. It was so lovely be able to have her there for part of our day while also knowing she was in safe hands. Then Misha went to stay with Belinda at Holly's Fur and Feathered Friends for 2 nights and was dropped back to us the morning we were leaving. I am so glad to have found Belinda, she was a pleasure to deal with and took great care of Misha for us. Any couples getting married that want to include their dog in their wedding, Belinda is fantastic, super flexible for whatever you need and great with dogs of course!
Belinda is the most caring and wonderful person that takes care of our pups as if they are her own. Highly recommended!
We recently left our dog Coco for 9 days. We had a very bad experience with previous kennels. There was no need to worry. As a far as we could see our dog was looked after very well. She was very happy there and played every day with others dogs. We would highly recommend Foxhill kennels. A big thanks to Duggy and Dean. Regards. Wile and Margaret
Top class. My dog was so well looked after. He was brought on loads of long walks. It's very obvious this place is run by dog lovers. Reasonable rates and would definitely recommend. If I could give more than 5 stars I would 😊 …
Absolutely best kennels around... Dougie is a gent and our Dog loves going on his holidays to Foxhill... Very reasonable rates
Houch is an incredible dog trainer. We had our 4 year old cocker spaniel stay with him for 2 weeks (Mon-Fri) whilst we were away on holidays as we didn’t want to put him in standard kennels. Like most dogs, Loki had areas of his behaviour that he needed to improve on. There is a lot of nonsense out there when it comes to dog training, but Houch cuts the crap. The best money we have spent to date on dog training and I would highly recommend. Thank you.
Hooch is absolutely amazing at what he does he knows everything there is to know about the dogs and people he meets. He has helps us no end over the years with our doggies and I will be eternally grateful such an incredible man would highly recommend to anyone I meet
Brought my 18 month old boxer George to Houch. George was extremely reactive to humans and dogs, after 2 hours with Houch we left with a completely different dog. Houch is a genius when it comes to communicating with dogs. Very grateful for your help and I can only highly recommend the Canine Behaviour Centre. Many Thanks Joe.
Brought my 4 month old Staffie to Houch as I was having trouble training her. Honestly I could not recommend him more. He gave me so much advice on training bonding, and communicating with my dog. The difference I've noticed in her in a few shorts weeks has been amazing. We can now go for walks together as she doesn't pull me down the road anymore. Houch is amazing with dogs and he makes training your dog easy to understand, and also fun. 10/10 would highly recommend.
We had our 10 month old dog in for a 1 on 1 session and would highly recommend it. Houch has a great way with dogs. Hes very knowledgeable and you can tell how passionate he is about dogs. Its a pleasure to see Houch at work gaining the dogs trust from the minute they walk in the door. The two hour session was intense,fun and mentally exhausting for our dog but he was so happy and he responded so well. The improvements can be seen straight away. I would highly recommend this service to any dog owner. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We brought our 19 month old Cockapoo to Houch for 1:1 training. Houch is like a magician. He had the dog under his spell immediately. It was such a pleasure to watch a master at work. Houch broke down the theory for us into easy steps and we came away with the knowledge and skills to have better communication with our dog. It was a very enjoyable couple of hours and I feel it was time and money very well spent. I highly recommend the Canine Behaviour Centre.
I brought my two retrievers to Houch after being highly recommend by several friends. What have I been missing. Houch has that magic touch with dogs. I would without doubt recommend him and the canine behavior centre to anyone having difficulty with their dogs. Top class Karen
Couldn’t be happier with the results from the residential training with Houch. Our dog Bobby is a better version of himself now. He had a good few issues which we wanted to address and get help with. The main issues being the lack of ability to socialise with other dogs and how reactive he was towards dogs/people. The videos we got daily on Bobby just got better and better each day to see his progress was brilliant, proud mummy and daddy here 😍 On his last day we met Houch for a training session and he made it really simple for us to be able to communicate with Bobby at home. We still can’t believe the difference in him in such a short space of time. Thank you very much ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Had Oscar in for 4 nights residential training with Houch. Highly recommend. Houch. Worked on positive communication, loose lead walking and on lead reactivity. Since returning home Oscar is more settled and happier. He had so much fun there while training - the video updates of his progress were excellent - thank you so much Houch
Amazing learned so much. Pixie is so much better after just 1 session.
