Kathy and Ron have sat for us several times in the past and have always been excellent. They are our "go-to" pet and house sitters and we always check their availability before we post a sit. They are trustworthy, organized, communicate very well, and take great care of our cats and our house. We hope they will continue pet sitting for many years to come!
Brian is a very professional sitter that does a good job, pays attention to details and is easy to work with. I have a lot of plants. A lot. He suggested me do a video for the plant care so he could be sure of which ones needed what. Brilliant! I’d never thought of that. They were in great shape when I returned. I explained that I needed some flexibility with travel dates, he agreed and rolled with the punches like a champ when my dates did indeed change. Unfortunately, he was a bit allergic to my cat but made it work anyway. He was really awesome about everything including a tree that fell next door in a storm and blocked the road for three days. I appreciate that he appreciated how funny and how much personality Boo has. They got along well and I received some great videos. I returned home to a happy cat and a house well taken care of 😊. I would definitely recommend Brian.
Catherine was a wonderful sitter for our 17 year old cat Zabba. She sent us pictures twice a day and kept us informed about Zabba’s daily activities. We came home to a clean home and would definitely recommend her as a pet/ house sitter. My only concern was that she doesn’t drive and with an older cat, I just prayed that Zabba didn’t need to go to the vet…. And he didn’t 🥰. We will ask her again for sure.
We can not exaggerate the care and love Juliet and Laurent gave to our cat, Piero, during his the last few weeks of life. While we left for our trip thinking he merely had a bladder infection, his symptoms turned for the worse a weeks into their sit and later revealed he had cancer. No one would wish their sitter to need to hospice their cat but Juliet and Laurent showed such compassion for Piero and volunteered to be with him when we made the decision to put him down. It was an emotional time for all of us and we will be forever grateful to our two caring cat and house sitters. We have had many fantastic housesitters through zeewoi but Juliet and Laurent top the list. Their professionalism, constant communication and compassion were exceptional. Should you have the opportunity to have them in your home, do not hesitate to book them, you will have no regrets. We do, however, regret that they had such a short time with Piero and had to experience such a painful event.
Danny and Jo did a great job caring for our 3 cats and fish AND lots of plants (and home of course) while we were out of town for 3 weeks. We came back to a very clean house, sheets, and towels all clean and folded and fresh sheets on the bed they were using. The plants were all alive too, which is a first for us (again, we have a lot of plants!). The cats were happy to see us and they were all accounted for (a past sitter lost a cat for a week - they escaped outside as a non-outside cat). Everything was in its place and looked great. We received regular updates (via text) with photos of the cats lounging about which was important for us. Danny asked good questions when they visited us before the sit, and when reviewing our pet/house sitting instructions. The only thing we noticed that was different was that our 2 young cats were a little lighter (not necessarily a bad thing) but we understand that being gone for that length of time can be stressful on our furry family, which almost always affects their eating habits. All in all, we would definitely have them again!
Jinnie was an excellent house sitter for me and my cat Felix. Completely responsible and reliable and helpfully flexible. She was willing to work with me as I dithered on whether I was actually going to go on my trip (which was dependent on good weather), and when I finally decided on making my trip one day shorter. House was clean and organized on my return, and, more importantly, my cat was calm and relaxed on my return. I would happily have Jinnie come sit for me and Felix again.
We couldn't have asked for better sitters than Pares and Mark. Since our initial contact, it was straightforward to communicate with Pares. We were lucky enough to get a chance to meet Pares with our dog Luna, and Luna got along with her immediately. During our time away from home, she kept us informed about how both our dog and cat were doing, and they were both cuddling with her since the first day. We got a lot of pictures and knew that they were safe and happy. The apartment was exactly as we had left it when we came back. Pares and Mark even ran the dishwasher and the washing machine for us. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter, and it made our trip very easy knowing they were taken care of so well. We'd have Pares and Mark back to our home without any hesitation.
Tonya was great and filled in after our other sitter had to cancel. She was very self sufficient and navigated acclimating herself to everything since she arrived after we left. She gave thoughtful updates on my cat and I could tell she really enjoyed her, so that means the world to me! She left the place immaculate and we will certainly have Tonya back!
Kathy and Ron are the most accommodating sitters you will ever find. At my request they arrived a few days early and also made it clear they would be willing to extend their stay as needed. While at first they were a little uneasy about giving pills to our cat Sparky, they soon got the hang of it and did an excellent job caring for both cats even though the cats have very different schedules and needs. Kathy was great about keeping in touch with us and we knew they would be just fine for the several days when we were out of communication range. I would gladly invite Ron and Kathy back anytime and highly recommend them to you for your next getaway!
Steven was a great sitter for our black lab Souris and cat Pinot. They were well looked after and really liked Steven. Our house was in good order when we got back and Steven was kind enough to give us a lift to and from the airport. He was very flexible, arriving day early so we could show him around.
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!
Lina took care of our 9 month old pup Ruairi while we were on holidays. It was our first time leaving him, but we were instantly reassured. Lina updated us daily with videos and photos and we could tell he was having a wonderful time playing with all of his new friends. He was walked and had plenty of exercise and cuddles. We were worried he would not want to come home to us!!! For Ruairi it really was a home from home experience and he was treated like their own dog. We will definitely book Ruairi in again and have recommended Cosy dog boarding to all of our friends.
We left our 2 year old cockapoo Alfie to stay with Lina while we were on holiday. This was the first time he was away from family, but Lina was so kind and reassuring to Alfie. She gave him so much attention, care and affection throughout his stay. Lina spent a lot of time bonding with him , so quickly he was at ease. We were delighted to watch the videos of Alfie in the garden with the other dogs.He made friends with Guinness amongst others. Lina sent us regular updates, videos and messages of how he was settling in. This allowed us to enjoy our holiday knowing that Alfie was in a home away from home. Thank you so much for giving Alfie such wonderful care and attention during his stay. I would definitely love Alfie to stay with you again. Siobhan Dearey, Dundalk.
Our dog Charlie has been with Lina for the past week. He’s not used to us being away and was quite nervous to begin with. Lina had a magnificent way of calming and settling him. She gave him lots of her time and attention and spent time getting to know his personality. We could see this clearly from the regular photos and videos she sent to us. She is so kind and caring to all of the dogs in her care. I would absolutely use her service again and would highly recommend this home from home for any dog 🐶. Annmarie & Charlie, Kilcurry, Dundalk.
I was very worried about leaving my two furbabies for the first time ever and I must be honest if it wasn't for Lina with her kind and caring heart and her love for dogs I would have never enjoyed my holiday. She took such good care of them and spoiled them, they didn't want to come home.We will definitely be using Cosy Dog again in the future. We can't thank Lina and her husband enough! They are 2 amazing people!
I highly recommend using Cosy Dog Boarding in Louth for your furry friends. My experience using their services for the first time with my French Bulldog, Canelo, was exceptional. Lina, the caregiver, went above and beyond by providing daily updates with photos and messages, keeping me informed about Canelo's well-being. When an unforeseen circumstance caused me to miss my flight and delayed me from picking up Canelo as planned, Lina graciously accommodated him for an extra night without any hesitation. The facilities boast fully enclosed grounds, providing ample space for dogs to play, run, and truly enjoy their stay. Lina's genuine warmth and evident passion for dogs instill complete trust in her ability to deliver top-notch care. Canelo was treated as if he were part of their own family, and I am immensely grateful for the impeccable service provided. It truly felt like a white glove experience from start to finish. :) I will continue to use her services for the future. Thank you, Lina & Donal!
Lina took care of our puppy very well. We were so happy to leave our puppy with her. And also she keeps us updated with video and photos of our puppy when we were away.
We boarded our big boy several times with this lovely people / dog hotel and he loves it madly and is always so excited to go there. Their own dog is also extremely friendly, playful and mine regards him as his older brother (like peas and carrots). They always take/took such good care of our boy, take him out for walkies in the mountain (never more happy to run in the forest or mountains with Guinness) and gets loads of attention and family time. They have enough space around the house for them to run, play, potter, snif, dig, explore and pent of their energy. For the time your dog is with them they regard/treat it as their own dog. They live close to a mountainous area on the border with Northern Ireland where there is plenty of locations to let the run and roam around freely. Every time when we get him back he is still tired days later and I think he misses having fun and be mischievous with Guinness. Both Donal and Lina are real dog people (like us), have a connection with the dog (sometimes I wonder if she knows him better than I do) and are therefor perfectly capable to take the best possible care of your cherished furry friend / family member. I like the idea that when I go on holiday, my dog has holiday (or a special time too) and they certainly give him that. For me the best indication is how the dog is about it and if he is happy it has to be good. I'm sure he is already looking forward to go back. After all. You can’t fool a dog 🙂
our Cheddar been to Lina s place twice already while we were away. we all think he had great times with Lina. delighted with himself. he didn't even want to leave when we collect him. highly recommend . 👍👍 …
Our dog Benji really enjoyed his stay with Lina and family, he returned home a really happy dog. I would highly recommend this home from home for your dog.
My dog had a good time there ,Lina took care of him very well ,lots of play and treats ,definitely will go back
Best place to leave your dog! Evanna and staff are very professional, Hera is such a shy dog and it is hard for us to find a place where she can feel comfortable and safe. We couldn’t be happier, thanks a million :)
Left my dog there today for trial run. After a previous bad experience with a Kennel I was wondering how my dog would react. I needn't have worried it is Doggy Heaven. Evanna and her staff were so warm, welcoming and professional. My only worry is my dog won't want to come home! Highly recommend if your dog needs a wee mini break. Exceptional
Professional, friendly, spotlessly clean and happy environment for your pet....what more could you ask for?
Our mind is at ease when we are away. We get daily updates and know our cats are looked after by animal lovers who provide diligent care.
We have used this service dozens of times for our 3 dogs for both daily walks and overnight boarding while we travel. Olaf and Tom are very professional, the dogs love them, and they are always quick to respond. I highly recommend to anyone who wants to make sure their dogs are well looked after while they're gone.
Amazing. Can't reccomend enough. Did great job looking after our pet during our honeymoon. Constant updates on how pet was doing, which was great to see. Will 100% use again.
Our House and pet sitting service is very useful if you need to travel and leave your house unattended for a day or weeks. Many burglaries are committed while people are away on holiday, so it makes sense to maintain a reassuring presence while your home is unoccupied - after all, no-one wants to return to find that they have been burgled or that a burst pipe has been unattended for days. Your pets are also less likely to fret during your absence if they can be cared for in familiar surroundings and are less likely to be exposed to the contagious illnesses which can break out in kennels. Our high quality house and pet sitting services will ensure your house and pets are looked after well.
I left my Yorkie here for the first time. She is a nervous little dog but got on fine and seemed happy. It was great to get a photo of her been walked and played with. This is a great service and I would recommend housesitters.ie
Excellent service.Thanks to Olaf and Tom for taking such a good care of our dog.We used their midday walk service for months as well as home boarding when going on holidays.We know we leave our dachshund in good hands when he's with them.They are professional easy to communicate with and very accommodating.Their online booking system and daily dog diaries with pictures are great too!
Wonderful service, Thank you both, Bonnie as always enjoys her holidays with you both.
Would highly recommend Olaf & Thomas! A great service and so comforting to know your beloved pet is being looked after so well!
I've used the midday walk service a couple of times now, very reliable and dog well taken care of. Will definitely use it again
Great service. They updated us every day with pictures. Will use them. Again.
Left our 6 month old puppy Wanda with Rob, she was very well looked after and seems to have had a very good time and excercise on extensive grounds! Will defo leave her there in our next holidays!
I will never recommend this business to anyone! Our dog went in freshly groomed for 2 weeks and when we picked her up she was appalling! Was told she rolled in mud but she reeked of pee and poo and her harness was bitten at which leads me to believe she was left in her harness for the 2 weeks. Had to bathe her as soon as we got home and we were assured she would be indoors as she is a house dog but to me looking the state of her she was left in a shed of some sort. Only booked here because reviews were excellent so it’s probably friends and family leaving the reviews. NEVER again….it’s to the point now that I’m never leaving her with anyone other than family members. Had her in boarding kennels before and she loved them but not this one. I know it’s a business and I thought long and hard about leaving a bad review as I don’t like it but I value my dog more than that.
We left our dog there for a few days. When we went to collect him.he was so smelly and mad thirsty he was not the same dog for a few days . I asked do you have kennels for the dogs and was told no they all live in the living room I was very surprised to hear this.our dog will Never go there again
My 2 yorkies are always very well looked after by Rob, wouldn't leave them anywhere else.
As always we were very satisfied with our little French bulldogs treatment. The staff are all so nice and at the same time 100% professional.
No.1 in East Coast top professional owner.I wouldn't leave my fur baby anywhere else P4T incredible caring top class groom & stay petvacation.
We leave our dog Holly there all the time and she loves it and we find it excellent.
Fantastic doggy day care Rex loves going to see Rob.
