Shaina was a great sitter for my cat Lionel. She was great with communicating before the sit and was willing to come meet me in person before the sit. She also kept me updated throughout the sit, with photos and little notes. When I returned home the flat was tidy and Lionel seemed happy!
Kendra was a great cat sitter to Genepi and she truly is a cat whisperer. Genepi usually takes 4 days to make friends with a new person but she came out and made friends with Kendra Day 1! Kendra regularly sent wonderful videos and pics of Genepi purring happily. The apartment was neat when we returned and our garden was blossoming. Would absolutely ask Kendra to sit again and highly recommend her. Thanks Kendra!!
Toby and Chloe were amazing pet sitters. It wasn’t the easiest sit - a nervous dog and 3 cats with various ailments and medication to have, but they took it all in their stride and cared for them so well without any issues. Our nervous dog Zelda warmed to them in just 2 days which is a record for house sitters so far! I also really enjoyed getting to know them over dinner the night before I left, they’re very easygoing and positive people. They also left the house spotless for when I came back. I would love to have them sit for us again. You can rest assured your house and animals are in safe hands with this lovely pair!
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.
Kimberly was a wonderful sitter who watched our two cats for us while we were out. She was willing to come a day early to help acclimate herself with the animals, and this was exceedingly helpful in making sure the cats would be comfortable with her during our absence. I would highly recommend Kimberly if you're looking for a responsible, caring sitter.
Caroline is an amazing sitter ! We were far away, had never left our cat for such a long period of time and we felt really confident with her. She took great care of our cat Honey as well as she did for the house, pool and garden. She was even able to handle the end of the refection of the bathroom which was a last minute surprise… We felt Caroline was reliable and self sufficient. We had a great communication with her during our stay abroad. We even found many nice intentions when we came back from our vacations such as fresh fruits and bakeries for a nice and welcomed breakfast after a night in a plane ! We definitely recommend Caroline for your sittings and we will obviously call her back !
Tracy was an ideal pet sitter when we left for 12 days. She was communicative, friendly, and most importantly took perfect care of our two cats and our house. I would highly recommend her for any sit!
Karen was an extraordinary house and pet sitter who I hope to invite back again soon. You would be extremely fortunate to have her take care of your pets and home. From the very beginning she radiated calmness, knowledge, caring and curiosity. We had a great initial conversation where Karen answered questions I didn't even know I should be asking, and asked excellent questions so she could be prepared and understand the special needs for both my cat and home. She flew into my city the day before I was leaving and stayed at a nearby hostel so that we could meet in person and do a walk through of my home. They say pets have an intuitive nature about people, and I knew Karen would be a winner when my normally very shy/nervous cat came right up and let her pet him. Karen sent wonderful pictures and updates while I was gone and asked questions when she wasn't sure about something. When I returned home everything was spotless and my cat was content. Overall, I couldn't have asked for a better house sitter experience. Thank you Karen!
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.
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!
Our 5 year old dog spent 10 days here recently. I was impressed from the 1st interaction with the owners before I even booked his stay. They were very accomodating and we got updates and photos and lots of reassurance while we were away. I highly recommend the Dog and Bone Kennels and will definitely be using them again. Thank you 😊 …
Lovely set up for dogs and cats. My 4 legged babies were well cared for here.
Highly recommend it. Very good living conditions for your smallest family member). Constant report in video, photo or message from Steve. Thank Very Much! My little boy Joy was in good hands. Until next time...
Very well organized kennel, with frequent updates and pictures posted on FB. The owners are kind, easy to contact and it was a pleasure to talk with them. Ideal for medium/short stays. The kennel schedule for drop off and pick up is flexible however there is a fee of outside the designated time window. The location of the Kennel is in the country side, with lots of green and farms around. Each cage is equipped with a front space and a shelf where you can place a cover or a small bed. The back of the cage offers additional room, equipped with a litter to guarantee privacy and limit the odours. Overall it was a positive experience, the cat needs some time to adapt and to get used to the new routine. The owner took care with dedication and passion. Suggestions: I would increase some cages size especially to accommodate medium/long stays (6+ days) and provide a filtered air system to guarantee a good air flow and healthy environment for all the guests.
Absolutely brilliant. Our cats have been twice and it's great to know they are warm, safe and loved when we go away, the owners are animal lovers and dedicated to the welfare of pets
Very good experience of boarding an anxious/nervous dog for two days. Staff sent a video on the first day to show how the dog was getting on.
Lisa and family have taken care of our dogs for several years now. They go above and beyond.
I have left my cat & dog here several times now & cannot recommend this kennel enough. My dog always gets loads of exercise & socialisation & usually sulks when he gets home to just us! Lovely kennels, caring people, fantastic custom built setup. Definitely a great place to leave your pets & brilliant that they'll take all animals, no splitting them up into different places which is such a nuisance!
Lisa took great care of our Roxy made her feel as if she was her dog. Roxy was very happy there. Highly recommend
Lisa was very friendly and listened to our requests for the care of our dogs & cat with great interest. It really put our minds at ease leaving them in the care of the Dog & Bone kennels.
The service provided was above and beyond. I was so nervous leaving my dog but my mind was put to rest with the regular updates.
Thanks Laura!
Incredibly nice staff. Highly recommended. You can really see they love dogs so you know your dog will be well looked after
If you're looking for a nice place for your fur babies to stay while you're away, do not hesitate to bring them to Lynset! Johanne is great with animals. After having a bad experience with another boarding kennel, we decided to bring our dog Laika here and it was the best decision ever. She was surprisingly comfortable with the everyone as all the staff are women.
Our two cats were there recently for an extended stay and were very well looked after by Johanne and team. Owners were a pleasure to deal with, and very accommodating to changes as needed. Knowledgeable on animals and very trustworthy.
Fantastic kennels with brilliant staff. Our boy absolutely loves staying there. We forgot his bedding once and went a few weeks later to collect it, he went crazy when we brought it home. Lots of sniffing and tail wagging with excitement.
Excellent Kennels / Cattery. Owners + Staff are very friendly and know a lot about animal behaviour. They provide a quality, professional service and I am very happy to recommend. Already booked here again for my next trip away
Left our cocker with Lynset Boarding Kennels for 4 days, very happy with the experience and the care they took of our pup. Will definitely be seeing them again in the future.
We've dropped off both our cat and dog at different points and they've had wonderful holidays! You can tell how much the people here love animals, and I'm half afraid that one of these days my pets may not want to come home ❤️🐕🐈 …
Did my Yourkie and was very happy with the price and service
Dear Joanne Apologies all round - re review I did not mean to give a bad review I take that back - my cat was very happy there - I would recommend the cattery - great location and she was well looked after hope I did not offend you as I totally recommend this place of stay for animals - again apologies Louise
Brilliant service ,friendly kind and loveable. Feel safe leaving my pet there, they understand there like out babies thank you 😊 …
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
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
Over the past 4 years we have boarded 4 of our dogs with Coolamber boarding kennels. Michael is a pure gentleman and his passion for his work shines through. Our dogs are always super happy going in and in great form when we collect them. Michael has given so much advice over the years. Best kennels we have ever used. Thanks for making our trips away so great as we know our girls Tilly and Sally are happy out.
I left my cat with Michael over the Christmas holidays. I was very impressed with everything about this place. Extremely clean and well maintained. He even kept me up to date with photos of her while she was with him. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Coolamber boarding kennels.
Top class kennels no need to worry while your away as your dogs couldnt be in better hands than Michael's . Thanks again for taking such good care of suki and eddie they come home so happy and relaxed which cant be said for other kennels .
Michael is always friendly, always accommodating, always offers great advice, always looks after our dog so well she runs to him when we drop off! Great advice on all aspects of pet care. Amazing service. Highly rate this kennels. Home from home.
Top class best kennels in longford / Westmeath. Michael is a gent and takes such good care of our dogs . He sent us picture of them during there stay which was so comforting . Highly recommend
I would absolutely recommend coolamber boarding kennels, our dog had cruciate ligament surgery two years ago and needed total kennel rest, she wouldn't rest at home so Michael took her for 6 weeks and looked after her. As a result, the surgery was successful. She had surgery on her other leg in march, Michael took her before and immediately after surgery and took great care of her again.We leave our two other dogs in as well and they all love going to the kennels.
Fantastic place to board your beloved pet. A home from home experience. We can 100% recommend Michael & his family. We have been bringing our dogs here from day 1 and won't go anywhere else.
I have to thank Michael and Joanne for the wonderful care & love they gave to Ruby and Ralph during their first stay they will definitely be going again a real home from home. The kennels are warm & spotlessly clean.
Knowing that my dog is so well looked after is such a comfort to us thanks to all at the kennels
We would highly recommend this great facility, Michael is so professional,our two Doggines headed off with Michael as we were leaving and never looked back 😂 we enjoyed our night out with peace of mind Thank you 🐶🐶🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟+ …
The very best in the business. Gemma, Leila and Clare go above and beyond to make sure your pets are well looked after. They are so good with our two dogs - so attentive to their needs. We’ve utilised the service multiple times, sometimes at very short notice and they are so accommodating. You get regular updates and great pictures of how they are getting on. As soon as they leave you get a full run down of how they are doing. I can’t recommend the service enough. It is such a huge peace of mind to know that our dogs are so well looked after in their own environment. And a huge peace of mind for them to be well exercised on the occasion we can’t do it. Thank you guys for the incredible service offered. Long may he be successful. We would be lost without the service.
Our 2 year old beagle has been enjoying walks and company with Gemma, Leila and Claire for the last 5 months. He started off with a few private walks while we were away and for the last few months he has been going to weekly Wag Packs and loves it! He loves meeting his new furiends every week for a big adventure walk along the canal, in the bog or forest. He comes home so happy and in need of a big long nap after his sniffy walks. He has come on leaps and bounds with his confidence. He was always anxious about getting in to the car, but has no issues hopping in now. He was also a bit anxious about water and wouldn't really go in. He has had "swimming" lessons with his fellow Wag Packers and now when I walk him along the canal, he happily goes in for a little dip! I would 100% recommend Gemma, Leila and Claire for pet sitting and dog walking. They really look after their clients so well.
Gemma has done a wonderful job helping my little pup to socialise with other dogs and to help his separation anxiety. Orwell gets very excited when she arrives and comes back happy and tired which is perfect . I always receive lovely photos from his walks and get good feedback upon his return. Gemma is 100% professional and runs a good operation. I wish I had found her service sooner.
Maisie, our 11 month old Bernese Mountain Dog, was looked after so well by Siobhan and her team at little lodgers. We were sent numerous updates during her week there also. Maisie will definitely be back ! 💯🐕🐾
Little Lodgers are absolutely amazing, and I would happily recommend them to anyone who wants peace of mind when going away - your dog will get a holiday too and you can rest easy knowing they will be safe and extremely well looked after. Our retired greyhound stayed with them for a week recently and the whole team were amazing, with regular photos and videos to let us know how she was getting on. Little Lodgers are clearly genuinely passionate about what they do, and provide an extremely high standard of care. Each dogs needs are taken into account. Thanks again for looking after our girl so well and going above and beyond! 🐾🐾🐾
Simply put, the best doggy day care I have used for my dogs. Having tried a few other places I found Little Lodgers and I wish I found them years ago. My 5 dogs have a blast when they visit Siobháin and her team, there is loads of slides, ramps, etc for the dogs to exercise and play on. Anytime they come home they are wrecked and snore on the car journey home. The dogs have lovely areas to sleep at night. The set up is very professional, proper set up to drop off and collect your dogs. All of the staff are lovely and are constantly monitoring the dogs in their care. Don't hesitate to leave your dogs here, they will have so much fun and socialization with all of the other dogs.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 100% recommend Little Lodgers. Siobhán, Ber and her team are amazing with our two dogs! They treat each dog like their own, it really is a home away from home 🐶 They are so professional and friendly. It is obvious how much they love their “fur babies” and the fur babies love them. The facilities are brilliant and all the dogs get so much playtime outside and make lots of new friends. So nice to receive regular video updates while you are away too. We would highly recommend Little Lodgers and our two pups would too 🐶 They can’t wait for their next visit. Thanks Little Lodgers🐾
Can’t speak highly enough of Little Lodgers. Our three little dogs had the best care during their visit. Kennels are so clean, very secure and there’s plenty of opportunity for socialisation and activities to keep them busy. I could tell how passionate Siobhan, Ber and the team are about what they do. Stevie, Belle and Izzy will be back again! 🙂
We highly recommend the Little Lodgers boutique boarding kennels for your fur babies 🤍 I just wanted to say thank you so much for Lunas recent stay with you guys 🙂 it’s as much a holiday for her as it is for us! She always has a great time and she comes home so happy and content after her very busy week playing with all her friends! We are always so happy and reassured that our little pup is well looked after when she has her little holiday away to little lodgers. We will see you later in the year 🥰🥰 Many thanks! Alyssa, Conor & Luna 🐶
Little Lodgers is the only place I now consider leaving my previous dog and always feel that she's had a real holiday there too. Siobhán and her team take care of every dog as if they were their own and the facilities they provide are second to none. The amazing, spotlessly clean outdoor area with all its room for play and exercise is complemented by their spacious,secure kennels where the dogs get plenty of opportunity for adequate rest. I am always reassured by the strict adherence to ensuring all dogs are fully vaccinated which means that I can leave my precious pup , in the knowledge that she'll come back healthy and well. And it's so lovely to get regular video updates from the kennels while away, showing happy dogs living their best life!Five stars all the way for this fabulous place ⭐
I am so delighted I heard about Little Lodgers Boutique Boarding Kennels. Siobhan & her team are just amazing. The care & attention given is just outstanding. My Westie is very shy & the team introduced her gradually to others dogs. She has been 3 times now and I can’t praise them enough. I have to travel to Little Lodgers but it is worth every bit of the drive. “Outstanding Service”.
Great place for my dog to stay, she had her own room and little night light, and a tv with calming music. A really good play area for the dogs, Siobhan is passionate and loving towards the dogs, a really nice lady. I'll definitely bring my furry baby back.
What an amazing team at Little Lodgers. Siobhan & Co take such good care of the puppers. Your mind can be at ease from the moment you check in. The facilities are fantastic, so much to keep the dogs safe and entertained, great for socialisation. The daily updates are brilliant especially when you're abroad and so far away. Niko & Lexie have stayed here many times and Siobhan is so accommodating to ensure she can fit you in. The team goes above and beyond to ensure all dogs are fully vaccinated to keep all dogs safe. Definitely 5 🌟 Accommodation would highly recommend, a home away from home for your furiends 🐾🐕Thanks for the continued care to Niko & Lexie see you in a few weeks again ❤️
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 🐕🦺🐾
