Carole and Ron are excellent cat-sitters! They took very good care of my cat Lola and of my house. I came home to a happy cat and a very clean and tidy house. They sent me pictures of Lola and kept me updated, so that I had a very relaxed holiday. I very highly recommend them as cat- sitters and I would be thrilled if they would come back to sit for Lola again. Thank you so much!
I'm delighted to have found Lisa as a sitter and hope to have her back again! She was detail oriented and clearly cared about my cats' well being. She asked good questions about the cats' routines and needs and about the house to be sure she'd meet my expectations and have a comfortable and successful sit. She communicated very well before and throughout the sit and even though I was unreachable for much of the time I was confident everyone was in good hands. Lisa left the house in immaculate condition and the cats were relaxed and happy when I got home. What a delight!
Anna was an excellent sitter - she took great care to understand all of the intricacies of taking care of the house and cats, asked lots of questions, and arrived on time and ready for the sit. During the trip, she checked in with updates, and upon returning home, left the space tidy and clean. The cats were happy and healthy, and seemed to have had a great time during the sit. Thanks Anna!
Kristi was an absolutely incredible sitter -- I think our favorite one ever! She was easy to communicate with, kind and personable, and took great care of our pets and our house. It was the first time we had left both our dog and our cat with a TH sitter and Kristi went above and beyond. She was very self-sufficient but provided fun updates and pictures and our pets loved her. Highly recommend!
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!
Oh wow! Everyone should be so lucky to have Nicholas and Veerle watch their house and pets. These lovely people are pros! They communicated early and often, were super accommodating to some last minute changes (it was originally going to be only our cats to watch but we decided to keep the dog home as well so that added to the schedule and care needs) and they left the house spotless and all set up for another sitter who came in after them. We didn’t get the chance to meet because my departure and arrival times but I dearly hope I get to in the future because they were just great! I even heard how nice they were from My neighbors who say them out walking our dog. :-) They also sent regular pictures of the pets which look like pro-photography! Cannot recommend this couple enough! Your pets and house will be in good hands!
My husband and I reached out to Toby & Chloe after reading their profile and impressive reviews only a week before our trip, since our scheduled sitter had to cancel at the last moment. They were very friendly and quick to respond to chat from the very beginning, and ended up exceeding our expectations during their two week stay. It was evident they had thoroughly read our Welcome Guide beforehand, as they arrived knowledgeable and prepared to care for our home and pets. They were very willing and happy to take the necessary time with us to walk through the house and meet our cats, as we got them acclimated with our daily routines and answered any questions. Shortly after we left, our city had a heat wave come through, and after immediately notifying us, Toby went beyond the call of duty and inspected our struggling AC unit to pinpoint the issue. As far as cat care is concerned, we have two seniors (who have more sensitive tummies) that can get irritated after a fur ball or swallowing anything out of the ordinary. When this occurred, Toby & Chloe stepped in and took wonderful care of our cat duo; softening their food and even cradling while hand-feeding them for extra comfort. We truly could not have asked for more affectionate and responsible sitters. We returned to a spotlessly clean home, happy cats, and well maintained plants and pool. (They even cleaned our dusty Kitchen pendant lighting, which requires a steady hand and is definitely a time-commitment …We felt like professional housecleaners had been there!) On our way back, Toby & Chloe stayed in communication with us to monitor our arrival time, allowing them to care for our cats until just before we got home. Overall, they are very reliable and trustworthy sitters whose genuine goal is to provide a top-quality sit, while maintaining your household and seamlessly transitioning to your pets daily schedule.
Jose was a wonderful pet/house sitter for us recently. We highly recommend him. He was wonderfully reliable and responsible and took such good care of our two pets. On short notice Jose drove down from Grass Valley to the East Bay for a bit of a quiet get-away while working a really hard job teaching online. We know how hard that is firsthand and partly why we needed our own get-away for a last-minute backpacking trip. We have a recently rescued pit bull and a rescued cat that we're still introducing to each other to make sure the dog doesn't eat the cat (as he seems to want to), and the cat doesn't blind the dog (as she would if he tried to eat her). That might be more background than is needed in a review but Jose made us feel comfortable about everything because of how conscientious and responsible he clearly is. We could tell when we talked to him that he was genuinely kind and eminently trustworthy. We are very grateful and hope Jose was happy with everything too because we know what a value his care was to us. Jose truly deserves any and all house-sitting gigs that strike his interest. Ours was not the easiest and he was amazing. Get him if you can.
Pennee and Bill were the BEST pet sitters and guests ever! I really wanted them to stay forever ! Our cat, Miss Kitty bonded so much to them, that she really wasn’t that happy to see me when I got home .Our cat is a finicky eater and they tried all different types of food and treats for her. They sent me regular photos of miss kitty and I knew everything was great when most of the pics had miss kitty on their lap. Our cat doesn’t take to many people but she immediately fell in love with them. Pennee sent us our mail and prescription meds on a regular basis , and went out of her way to take care of any issues . They fell in love with the neighbors and community and just made our lives so easy . We experienced the Covid 19 virus outbreak quarantine during this time and Pennee and Bill agreed to stay a month longer at our home . They were extremely flexible with their travel plans so that everyone would be safe. Upon our arrival home, we were greeted with a bouquet of flowers , beautiful hanging basket of flowers for outdoors and a beautiful bottle of wine . And our house had never been cleaner ! Bill and Pennee are a pet owners dream couple !I felt extremely lucky to have found such a great petsitter and new friend . We will be visiting each other in the future .
Kristi was an exceptional house / pet sitter and we appreciate her being so flexible as were not sure how long our vacation was going to be. She was prompt, courteous, and even drove up the weekend before to meet with us. She took great care of our house and our dog snd cats loved her. I would highly recommended her.
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!
Left our dog with Martin and his team. 5 stars is not enough. Martin and the team are extremely dedicated to their work of looking after dogs. Highly recommend 'The Good Life Boarding Kennels'. 10 out 10 👍 …
We booked our dog Poppy with The Good Life Kennels for one night at short notice. We arrived to drop her off and we were very impressed with the set up there. Plenty of space for each dog and we could tell that Martin the owner has a real love for dogs. We checked into the Facebook page later that night and saw pictures of Poppy being taken out for a walk with the other dogs so the kids were happy out! Wouldn't hesitate in recommending The Good Life Boarding Kennels to anyone!
Have used the Goodlife boarding kennels a few times now, and what more can I say other than 5 🌟. Staff are very professional and have always focused on the welfare of our pet first as well as updating us with photos of walks ensuring us that our dog/pet is in good hands and being well cared for. I highly recommend The Goodlife Boarding Kennels. Thanks for always accommodating us and taking great care of Shadow when she visits. Top class 👏
We brought our 10 month old golden retriever here to the Good Life boarding kennels outside mullingar last week to stay for a number of days. I have to say It was pleasure dealing with Martin and his great staff. Our Indy was taken care of brilliantly as we could see his daily walks uploaded to facebook. Martin is clearly an expert in his field when you speak to him and you know he cares for the dogs he minds. I would have no hesitation in leaving Indy here again for a few days and I would encourage anybody else who needs this service to choose the Good Life boarding kennels. You will be able to rest easy in the knowledge your dog will be happy, comfortable and safe for their stay.
Great experience with Martin. He is great at what he does.
The only place I feel comfortable leaving Nonu. Martin really cares about the animals and their welfare. He understands them so well and how to put them at ease when you drop them off. They even put photos up on their fb page incase you miss your fur baby while you're away. Excellent Kennels
Excellent from beginning to end. They post photos of your dog on their Facebook page so you can them enjoying their walks as you enjoy your holiday. Perfect
We left our 3 beloved dogs (2 Springers and 1 Westie) at the Good Life Boarding Kennels near Mullingar for 12 nights. Yesterday evening we collected them and we were absolutely delighted with their condition and demeanour! They looked happy, fit and clean and while overjoyed to see us, were perfectly happy to stay close to Martin, the owner of the kennels, who is so professional and caring. Our 3 had a larger kennel to themselves and that meant they could be together, which reassured us a great deal. Martin feeds them wholesome food and they have 2 daily walks -- not every kennels does that. We will use Martin's services again and would recommend him very highly. Thanks also to Matteo and Natalie for their care ♡♡
Definately a five star rating for this boarding kennels. Your pet will feel at home immediately here, the kennels are pristine and all yours dogs individual needs are taken care of from feeding to walking and any special requirements needed. Martin the kennel owner makes you feel at ease the minute you arrive and he has an amazing approach with dogs big and small alike.You can tell he is passionate about his work.I highly recommend these kennels....try it out you will be highly impressed.
I have to say the dedication and commitment to the dogs is over and above the commitment and communication is fantastic and the love for animals is so visible from your enter I highly recommend the kennels to anyone who needs a safe loving and caring environment thank you so much for the care you give to jackson
Leaving my dogs with Martin for over 15 years. Wouldn't leave then anywhere else. Close to Mullingar Town, good value and my dogs have always been excited when they go in. Never had an issue and Martin is a gentleman and a pleasure to deal with.
Excellent kennels, kindly professionally run..I always leave my three dogs there.Two confident little dogs, and one very shy dog, they are always pleased to see Martin which I take as their stamp of approval!
Not clean at all , and not feeding properly as my dog lost almost 2kg in 1 week sitting there Got my dog back today in a disgraceful condition, stinky and dirty Martin try to fix the situation giving a discount for next time ... Well , this won't happen. Highly don't recommend this
All this reviews are fake or left by his friends. Do not trust this man , your dog will not beein look after He didn't feed our dog Never sent us a photo with him in a week This is a shame and an awful experience. Poor condition to keep a dog
Martin is a real gentleman. Reasonable price. Your dog is very well looked after.
Great Value, Hexe seemed happy and well looked after. Martin asking for details on vaccinations and his booking process made it all feel very professional. Recommended.
Great kennels I wouldn't leave my dogs anywhere else Martin is a great guy very friendly and looks after every dog as if it's his own
Very good kennels great value for money, left my staffy here for a week, no issues.
Martin is a gentleman and the dogs always love staying.
Brilliant kennels for your pet ...well looked after while you re away
Highly recommended. Great service
I took my 2 dogs today and I couldn’t recommend it enough... such an amazing job she did on my Samoyed and my huge Asian sherpard I thought my Samoyed had to be shaved because he was so notted and she put so much effort into my dog that he only had to be shaved behind the ears... I was sooo greatful... so patient and soooooo friendly ... all I can say is that its the best place...❤️❤️❤️ Thank you so so so much
Wonderful experience great service
Lovely staff very helpful great job on my dog
Highly recommend Stephanie. For Day care / overnight / dog walks. Such a lovely kind, caring & trustworthy person. Her house is “home from home” which is what our dogs are used to. She took our dogs on lots of adventures during their stay. We have our dogs booked in again for their next sleepover. 🐶🐾🐾🐾🐾 …
Couldn't recommend Stephanie highly enough. She's been taking our dog Yola out to get her used to other dogs and to socialise. Yola watches at the window for Stephanie's car and the excitement is real, spinning in circles, she just can't wait to go. A big change in only a few weeks.
I initially contacted Stephanie to help with walking my big labrador puppy as he was pulling a lot on lead. She helped me a lot with regards walking him but she also helped a lot with issues within the house and this helped getting him to calm down and overall a much happier dog and family. She gave good tips and things that were easy achievable for myself. She is a kind and very patient person and bailey loved her. Would highly recommend to anybody.
Can't recommend enough, Rufus comes home happy and exhausted and Stephanie always takes the most amazing photos for us during his walk/stay with her.
Stephanie has been absolutely amazing. We adopted a dog who had very little socialisation in her previous home. She was extremely reactive to people and other dogs. The improvement in Mabel since she started working with Stephanie is unbelievable! I struggled to bring Mabel on a short walk without my arms being pulled off me and being worried about her trying to go for other dogs. Now we can enjoy our walks - Mabel is well behaved on the lead, has no issues meeting people and has gone on group walks with other dogs in the forest. Stephanie has a wonderful way with dogs and has thought us so much about dog training! She has the patience of a saint and is so dedicated to helping Mabel get used to other dogs. I am very grateful to Stephanie for all her help with Mabel 🥰
The very first walk was an anxious one for our pup who barked at and backed away from Stephanie. Stephanie was so patient and comforting towards Sadie and now they are the best of pals. Sadie knows Stephanie’s car and waits patiently on the windowsill for her to arrive 🐾. Stephanie’s love of dogs shines through and she treats them all like her own. She is so accommodating and the pack walks have definitely helped our pup. We will be with Stephanie for a long while yet.
Stephanie is amazing! She has a huge amount of patience and works with each dog to ensure they get everything they need and want out of a walk. And for boarding, she really makes your dog feel they are part of her family! I can't recommend Stephanie enough, if you are working all day, Stephanie is there to make sure your dog gets out and has some company during the day
Stephanie really provides a 5 star service. Riley really loves going and he is certainly part of the pack both human and dogs when there. He has grown in confidence and so have I specially with the support and advice from Step when it comes to walking of the lead and recall for example.
Could not recommend Steph enough she has such a beautiful way with dogs & they love her too. We didn't really have a clue when we 1st got Daisy & Steph is such a great help with her & knew all her little ways so quick! Daisy does be so excited to see her car coming & is so relaxed now around other dogs, I get beautiful photos & updates when Daisy goes with Steph..its like a doggy day care & they all absolutely love it 😀 💗
Steph is a true professional and so accommodating both our dogs are so comfortable with her. Steph is so willing to share tips around training and it is really paying off with our pup. Steph has also taught our youngest daughter tips on training which is proving to be invaluable and she is really enjoying training our dogs. We would highly recommend Steph and All about dogs 🐕🦺🐾
