. We were absolutely delighted with the care Summer provided for our cats. Without a doubt, she is the best cat sitter we have ever had the pleasure of working with. Her attentiveness and genuine affection for our cats were evident in every interaction. Throughout our holidays, she kept us constantly updated with daily pictures and detailed updates, which gave us immense peace of mind. Additionally, she maintained our house in immaculate condition, keeping everything clean and tidy. This level of consideration and dedication went above and beyond our expectations, and we deeply appreciated her efforts. Summer’s exceptional service made our holiday experience truly worry-free and enjoyable.
I was fortunate to have Hillary return for a second sit. She took excellent care of both my cat and my home. She got on well with my neighbors and even allowed my friend to come visit Suley while she was there. I especially appreciate how flexible and accommodating she was regarding arrangements for a sitter who would be taking over for the second part of my very long absence. All in all, Hillary is a gem!
We are thoroughly pleased with and impressed by Daniel's kind, generous, and careful care of our cat and our house. He is a committed and experienced sitter who completely understands his role and responsibilities and also how to gently win the confidence and affection of a pet. He is an excellent communicator, and he kept us regularly up to date on our cat's well being--sending us texts and photos at least once/week as we requested. Our cat who is a little afraid of new people, grew fond of him, and we have returned to a very calm, contented cat. We highly recommend Daniel, and we ourselves would be thrilled to engage him again when the need arises.
Best house and pet sitters we've ever had! They definitely gave our cat and dog plenty of love and attention.
Kathryn was amazing. She helped me figure plans out after another sitter dropped out at the last minute and saved the day! My cat and fish were well taken care of, and she was super communicative when my tank had a problem child moment. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, helpful, and caring sitter!!
Jeanne is a repeat pet sitter for us. She is wonderful and takes great care or our cats and our home. We have peace of mind when we travel knowing our kitties are under her care.
Nathalie and John were great! They were great house sitters to watch our two dogs, 2 geckos, our old cat and bull frog. Their two girls took good care of the animals as well. The house was exactly how we left it. We really appreciated their help!
Angel was absolutely the best house sitter we could have hoped for. She is a very warm, open and diligent person and our two cats adored her. She looked after our house and garden with really conscientious care. She won over our very timid cat, Billie, and sent regular photos of both cats looking supremely content which gave us perfect peace of mind. The house was completely spotless on our return and the garden was fabulous... no mean feat since there was a heatwave while we were away and she kept everything watered and in great condition. We would have Angel back at the drop of a hat and cannot recommend her highly enough.
My partner and I left our cat Mango in Lindsey's care for a month so that we could get married. We were going from FL to ME, so it was a long way from home. We were gone for a month. Picking the right houses sitter was important. We are so glad we picked Lindsey (and she picked us). From before Lindsey got on her plan to fly down, until she was back home again Lindsey was communicative, considerate and positive. We felt like we had a family member staying at our place and because of who she is, Mango and our home's well being was a weight off our mind during the wedding. If the need arises in the future we will definitely be giving her the right of first refusal. Thank you so much Lindsey!
Anna was a wonderful sitter for our furry friends. My dog, Luke, bonded with her and was sad when she left. My cats would crawl under the covers and curl up with her at night. She is a true animal magnet and lover. I highly recommend Anna to anyone who wants their pets to recieve first class love while away.
Is it better to board cats or leave at home?
Veterinarians advising to leave cats at home with a pet sitter who will stay overnight in your home, boarding is not recommended for cats as they are stressed in a new environment, you can find a sitter who will care for your cats and home overnight at Sittsy.
How much should you pay someone to watch your cat?
At least €15 per visit, per overnight watching in your home, otherwise you can find a free sitter at Sittsy.
What do people do with their cats when they go on vacation?
Inviting a cat sitter to your home, boarding the cat with a local business, asking a friend, family or neighbour to feed and check the well-being. The most efficient way to leave your cat during your vacation is with Sittsy cat sitters overnight, in this way, you will save cat sitting costs and make vacation not only for you but also for your cat sitter!
Very clean and safe. Anytime I've left my dogs in George's care, they were given a five-star treatment. Highly recommended
Fantastic boarding kennels, we are really pleased. Both my dogs are in great form after their 3 night stay and best of all, they don’t stink. I found George very friendly and nice to deal with and my very anxious old dog took to him straight away, which is very unusual for her. Ballybeg boarding kennels will be my preferred choice from now on and I would highly recommend them.
Absolutely brilliant. I will most definitely be using the facilities again. George is very helpful and put me at ease straight away. I had never left our dog before so it really helped knowing she was in good hands
Our 2 dogs have been to Ballybeg twice now and they cone home happy and relaxed. The kennels are spotless, spacious and George,the owner is great with the dogs. We know our little guys are well looked after when they're in his care.
Lovely facilities with lots of space, dog was very happy mixing with others. Very clean and was put at ease about leaving dog. Would definitely avail of these kennels again.
Fantastic boarding home so clean and George makes it so easy for a first time visitor and Cooper had a great day. Cooper doesn't travel well in the car and George even took his blanket that he had been sick on to wash....where would you get it! Would highly recommend Ballybeg Boarding Kennels...Cooper going back for a sleepover ....the first of many 😀
Highly recommend! Just collected my dog after 3 days and he did not want to go home he enjoyed himself so much. You can see how much George loves what he does.
My boys absolutely love it here!! They love getting to play all day and always come home exhausted from it! It really shows how well they take care of my boys. If this place was closer to my house I’d board them a few days a week while I was at work just so they could play!
Placed our two much loved dogs into this kennels while away on holidays. Would highly recommend this family run business. Kennels first class and dogs happy out.
It is such a lovely space. The owner couldn't have been more caring of my dogs. A great doggy and owner experience 👏 …
The best and safest place to leave your dogs, so well looked after by Gilly. 🐶💚 …
My dog had his first visit to cottage kennels he came home a happy dog. Definitely will be back. Thanks Gillian
Highly recommend Cottage Kennels, my dog was so happy there.. Fantastic service, thanks Gillian.
Best place to leave my dog when we go on holidays without worrying it about him also my dog is very happy to stay with Paul. I recommend it without any doubt.
Put it like this the dogs won't be going back
Brilliant as ever so blessed to have them.
Delighted with the care my dogs got
Gillian and Dave take such care of the pets they care for. what more could you ask for
👍 …
Highly recommended.
We've always chosen Patricia's service over the years. She's always so professional and takes great care of my dogs. I've just had my dogs with her for a week. Happy dogs, happy owner. I had to book with Patricia this time unexpectedly. She agreed to take my dogs with little notice. Overall, great service.
Couldn’t thank Patricia enough for looking after my little doggy. She took excellent care of him and was extremely professional. Little Rocky had a great time with the other dogs also. Will certainly be back and I couldn’t recommend her services enough.
I would not recommend Barefield Kennells. Came home from my holidays. With a result my dog was nearly dead. My dog was at deaths door.i had to take my dog to the vets first thing in the morning and vet told me that my dog had no water that the famous Patrica had no water given to him. The vet wanted to.even keep my dog to give him I V fluids. He was in such a state that the creater did not even know me and was really exhausted looking. Another thing one of my dogs blankets got torn by another dog in Patricia Kennell and she never dectued some money from me. I was told that I should have given her my dogs veterinary bill and also she to replace my blanket. She also wanted to keep another blanket belong to my dog. She should be closed down for the way she treats animals. She is only a money grabber. Her day will come aswell
Been going to Patricia for years. My two are Belgian Malinois x ChowChow are a bundle of energy - a lot to handle for anyone. Finn can be reactive with new people but I’ve never seen him love someone as much as Patricia. They always come home completely tired, happy and safe. Patricia puts her life on hold for the love of the dogs she minds. Such a great peace of mind when we are going away and know our dogs are 100% well cared for.
Thank you Patricia absolutely brilliant service as always! I wouldn’t leave my dog Jake anywhere else, I always appreciate the care you take of him while I’m away thanks!
I would 100% recommend Patricia, she was great with my dog Bruno, it helped me relax more knowing he was in safe hands. Bruno will definitely be back
Amazing facilities and kennels, Thor adores Patricia! She is so kind and makes you feel completely comfortable. Thor’s happy and so am I! Thanks Patricia so much x
Left my dog at Barefields for week and couldn’t be happier with the service they provided. Staff are great and would highly recommend!
We love going to Patricia’s and so do our two energetic Belgian Malis. She’s amazing with handling them and they always seem to have a great stay with her.
Amazing service from Barefield. Couldn't recommend them more!
I Dropped my 7 month old puppy off on my way to Galway and she had the time of her life! Great service and a very accommodating team.
Fantastic place with plenty of space for the dogs to run around and play. Sile is great with the dogs and ours loves to see her every time we drop her off. The only downside is that it's all indoors and has caused toilet training issues for our pup as she starts thinking that going inside is ok.
We leave our dog here every week, no criticisms or critiques of the place whatsoever, they are excellent and sile takes incredible care of the dogs. My dog is a Maltese and loves going when he gets the chance, playing with small and larger dogs has helped socialise him to no end, and it is a great piece of mind for my wife and I.
Took our pup to Sile for the first time last week. She could not have done more for us to get him settled in. At only six months and not having been to doggie daycare before he was off and running with the other dogs on his second day. Highly Recommend!
Brilliant service, Rua loves heading in, Síle looks after them like they are babies! He’s spoilt in there. For a dog with loads of energy this is a perfect spot for them. Playing all day and is really well socialised with many types of dogs. Can’t rate the place high enough.
Bó loved her day at Madrassori, the team were beyond accommodating, welcoming and professional. Such a fantastic service to have in Ennis.
I would highly recommend Madrassori. Síle is an absolute natural with the dogs and they adore her. They have loads of play time and learn how to socialise with other dogs. My dog poppy sees Síle as her 'other mummy' and I don't think you can get higher doggy praise than that!
Just a big warehouse with no outdoor area. Dogs go to the toilet on the floor, terrible for house trained dogs, my puppy came back with other dogs pee dried into his chest and neck he was stinking, clearly had to lie or sleep in the pee. Hardly no toys or beds for the dogs, the fumes inside from the pee was almost unbearable.
Our 4 month old just had his first day this week and we are so impressed with the service all round. Fantastic value and extremely professional staff. We'll be bringing our little guy back again each week to get him socialised!
Sìle and her team have a gift with doggies . Woodie can’t wait to get in there in the morning . We feel very lucky to have madrasori and appreciate all their care so much ❤️
We've been sending our puppy Joey(in the red) to The Dog house for a few weeks now. He absolutely loves it. Emmet and his team are wonderful, And so many other great dogs for ours to socialise with. Emmet is also great at guiding us on what and what not to do with our pup. Really great doggy day care in Ennis and not too crowded(we were worried about bad habits, but if anything he's behaving more thank to the teams attentiveness). Highly recommend for the amazing customer service and interactions we have.
Our dog Milo absolutely loves going to The Dog House for daycare! He knows the way so well that even when we’re nearby on a walk, he starts pulling us towards the place to say hello :)—he’s already made so many friends there. Emmet and the team are always friendly and welcoming, creating a great atmosphere for the dogs. Highly recommended and keep up the good work, guys!
Great service and kind staff. Took my 2 German shepherds for bath and grooming. They love it and I'm very satisfied. I recommend
My girlfriends parents always bring their dogs here when they're away and they always say how nice and helpful the staff are. A great, well needed service
Very organised with friendly staff. Our dog had a great time. We even received video showing our dog playing with the other dogs.
Cant thank the staff enough for minding my two girls. From start to finish I never felt so at ease leaving them with people who care for them like they were their own. Had a walk around before they were dropped off and the place is in great condition, loads of space to play and run around. I even got a lovely video of them enjoying their walk. Thank you so much guys for everything.
Absolutely brilliant service. I was a little nervous as one of our fur baby’s is a little mental but Mark and his staff has so much experience with all kinds of dogs my nerves went away when I seen the handling and care . We have used doggie daycare and hotel and our dogs always come back so happy and fresh (they love it ) Brilliant place well deserved five stars with compliments. Thanks Guys 🙏
Highly recommend. Our dog is always waiting at the door for Mark to come and take him to day care. Great family run business.
Thank you to Mark and Team for taking great care of our dog Jack. He had a great time on his holidays, loved the video updates!! Excellent facilities and care. Would highly recommend
Absolutely great service from Mark and Rosaleen. Tiger was so happy there while we were on holiday in the area and it gave us freedom to visit some attractions knowing that he was happy and so well looked after. Their barknride service is an excellent innovatiion. Wound highly recommend and use them again
I've thought for a while about whether to post my review but I realised I had to because I based leaving my 3 babies here based on everyone else's 5 star rating and I need to give a reality check review. I rang 6 weeks before Easter to ensure I could get them in from Holy Thursday to Easter Saturday. I arranged that we could collect them between 5pm and 6pm as he closes at 6pm. Any other kennel we have left them into, when we arrived we would introduce the dogs and the kennel owner would greet each in turn, pet them and chat to them, however this man just called over his female employee and told her to put them in the kennel and we could say goodbye after sorting the paperwork. I asked that they be allowed a few minutes of a run around in the grass run area first as they had been in the car over 2hrs and would need to go to the toilet however he refused saying they needed to get used to the kennel for an hour first. He said we were collecting them Easter Monday and I said no its Saturday. He said he was closing a 12noon on Saturday due to his staff leaving at 12 for the bank holiday and he wouldn't be able to manage all the dogs on his own. I said we had arranged to collect them before 6pm. He said he would DO US A FAVOUR AND LET US COLLECT THEM AT 5PM FOR A EXTRA €35. I checked with him that he was going to charge us an extra night that they were not staying. He confirmed that, in other words he was charging us €35 euro extra for a couple of hours. We were appalled but because we were meeting other people I couldn't say immediately if we could collect them in the morning but was determined to try. I also told him that our dog had suffered heat stroke twice and as the weather was warm for the weekend I said he can't be left out longer than 30 mins and asked that he be left in in the cool inside day barn. He laughed and said it never it's that warm in Ireland. I was horrified and stated very clearly that I couldn't risk it happening again. We both felt he didn't have any interest for the dogs safety and no personal interest in them at all. We needed to put Eye drops in one of our dogs eyes before we left and he brought up out to where they were, the concrete floor was wet and they were very upset. He wouldn't take their beds that we had brought to give them a sense of familiarity and comfort. We hated leaving them but unfortunately had no choice. I rang twice Saturday morning to say we were collecting them at 11am and asked him to ring back so I would know he got the message. He didn't but their box of food was in the front yard when we arrived. He just brought them out to us but his manner and attitude showed he had zero interest in the dogs. We were so glad to get them out of there and take them with us. I definitely do not recommend this kennel. I checked his opening times on his page when we left and it still showed 6pm closing on Easter Saturday and showed times may vary for Easter Monday.
Mark and Rosaleen and Audrey... what can I say. They have cared for and continue to care for my dogs with the biggest hearts possible. They have gone over and above for me and my Oscar when he was sick. They minded him as if he was heir own. Oscar and Harley always jumped from my car with such excitement and Mark always facilitated the use of the ramp for my Osk. December took our Osk and I was treated with such care and such love by all the staff even my son who misses Osk everyday. Now... we have adopted another Teddy. And all the gang opened their hearts to the found and bould teddy and allow Harley the time to get used to having a new friend around. I've trusted the gang to take my babies and mind and love them from day care to kennels. My dogs always come home happy and always well cared for and loved. I couldn't possibly recommend Dysert for all your day care and boarding needs for your dogs.... i only wish I could go stay there too sometimes as I've said to Mark many times!!!! Keep up the amazing work you do.... you all have hearts of gold... love Catherine Harley Teddy and of course.... the gentle giant that was our Osk xxxxx
My Dog Kaiser Love's his play time @ Dysert Kennel's, the best of care and attention is always given to each and every dog, I'd highly reccomend Dysert Day Care for your furever friends.
Joe is a true dog lover. He just plays with them all day long with lots of cuddles on the couch too. He takes fab videos and photos. The area is safe. Vaccinations are checked. It's doggy heaven!
We cannot recommend Joe and his amazing doggy hotel enough. We received so many recommendations before we sent our puppy Bertie and after collecting him after his first day, we could see why. Bertie adores Joe, maybe even prefers him to us and almost jumps out of the car when we drop him! We receive regular pictures and videos of him playing with his friends, running after balls or having a snooze on the couch which puts our minds at ease! We are so lucky to have found someone so trustworthy with our beloved pooch who clearly loves his job and animals.
Excellent service and great facilities! The owner (Joe) offers a choice of kennels or indoor rooms - our two slept in their own doggy bedroom! We could see from regular snapchat videos that they were happy and having fun while we were away - a lovely touch! They spent their days with the other dogs and their evenings by the fire with Joe. Our dogs were really well cared for...what more can you ask for? We already have them booked in for another stay!
Joe does such an amazing job minding the dogs and always sends pictures and videos! Zeus was there for 2 nights and I actually think he's sad to be home! Really makes a night away knowing your dog is happy and being looked after!
Highly recommend to anyone that wants to have their dog really looked after. Joe treats all dogs like they are his own and keeps regular updates on his Snapchat to make it feel like your dog isn't far from you at any time. Best off all takes all breeds
Our puppy Cali loves her time with Joe at Top Dog Kennels. The photos and videos Joe sends are just brilliant as you can see how much fun all the dogs there are having.
My dog was so well took care of and really enjoyed her stay she nearly didnt want to come home. Sending the pictures and videos on snapchat is really good, not many kennels do that. You could tell that the owner loved his job. Thank you so much would recommend
A brilliant doggy hotel. My dog is normally super anxious and she settled straight in. The updates were brilliant too. Fantastic all round. Would highly recommend.
Best of the best never seen my dog so happy after his day playing with other dogs . Joe is passionate about animals and it shows really nice guy
Top man Joe, The best kennels in Ireland.
