Pares is an experienced and quality sitter and we knew our cat Juniper (and a few plants) was well cared for. We received regular updates and photos which was really nice to have during our travels. While we missed Juniper, we could see that she enjoyed receiving cuddles and attention from Pares. Upon returning home, our flat was clean and tidy, and Juniper was very happy! Thank you for taking care of her!
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.
Kerry and Megan were wonderful sitters and took great care of our two cats while we were on vacation for two weeks. They were responsive, gave us regular updates, and seemed to really care about Tumba and Cappa. When Tumba was more timid toward the beginning of our trip and not eating her meals fully, Kerry was sure to ask for additional suggestions from us on how to coax her to eat more. Kerry and Megan also left the house just as we'd left it for them. We really appreciated them going the extra mile to ask about additional cleaning products so they could clean our bathrooms. It felt great to come home and just relax without needing to remake the bed. Thanks for everything, Kerry and Megan! We would certainly entrust our home and kitties to you again in the future.
We were so pleased to meet John and Trisha! We had them come in a day before we left and enjoyed a nice meal with them and they got to meet Delilah (even if she didn’t seem interested) but she soon warmed up to them - except for the Cat Videos - she wasn’t very interested 🤣 When we returned our home was so clean (probably cleaner than we left it)! We got frequent pics and updates on our Princess! They also left us with a Progress Report with Delilah’s activities and what they did at the house before they left. We would highly recommend John & Trisha if you are lucky enough to have them apply for a House Sitters job! Bill, Kathy & Delilah 🐈⬛❤️
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!
I thoroughly enjoyed working with Kathryn! I needed to extend dates for the sit after we had set it up and she was able to accommodate this so was actually here from 10/4-20. She was timely and communicative throughout - and she is a very nice person. She kept the house really tidy and followed all instructions well. My cats took to her quickly. When I returned, they had been very well cared for and seemed fully content even though I'd never left them for long before. While away, I reached out to Kathryn by text several times regarding deliveries, etc. She was very prompt in responding and adept at handling issues as they arose. I highly recommend Kathryn as a house sitter - and would happily work with her again!
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!
Karen was able to step in a sit for me on short notice after another sitter canceled. She was very thorough and communicative and I felt I had left my apartment and cats in good hands with her. I came home to a clean apartment and happy cats. I definitely recommend Karen as a sitter.
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.
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!
Ted my miniature Jack Russell, spent a week with the lovely Yvonne and Ian and he could not of been looked after better. Bed & Biscuit offers excellent up to date facilities and the care and attention given to each dog is amazing. Each pet has their own run and there is a play area for them as well. You can leave your fur baby there in the comfort and knowledge that they are in excellent hands. They have a grooming parlor as well so your pooch can get pampered if you want when they are on their holiday there.
First post didn't save. Thank you both for looking after Kimiko. At 15 weeks we were nervous as shes soo small but our minds were at complete ease after speaking to Ian and seeing the facility and where she would be staying for her 2 nights and daily routine. I received pictures also of her enjoying a walk and it's very apparent that you's love dogs and understand them and their comfortability levels of not rushing and taking it at their own pace. Kimi even tried following Ian back in when i was bringing her to the car 😅
Our Brandi just loves his holidays in Bed and Biscuit. Yvonne and Ian take such wonderful care of him and their facilities are amazing, wouldn't mind spending a night there myself.
Bed and Biscuit is an amazing place, more like a creche for dogs than kennels, Ian and Yvonne are so nice and treated Bella our nervous cockapoo like one of their own. Updated us with pictures when we were on holidays. Would highly recommend 10/10
My Bobby is a real house pet, it’s mainly just the two of us so I was quite nervous leaving him. The owners met, greeted, chatted & explained how it all works. The Dog Centre is a five star hotel for woofs. Bobby was so happy when I collected him & absolutely no after effects…. He was groomed & content so if I need him minded again in Wexford I’ll be back. Would highly recommend. Thank You most sincerely for minding my little sweetheart xx. 🐾💕
Bed & Biscuit is probably the best kennels I have ever come across. Ian & Yvonne are lovely, friendly, people who did a great job of looking after my two dogs, Sadie & Samson last week. (15th til 22nd June) Nothing is too much trouble for them 🌟The kennels are clean, spacious, bright and well laid out with the dogs stimulation & welfare at heart. They are amazing 👍 and reasonably priced. We will definitely be boarding our dogs at Bed & Biscuit again. Thanks Ian & Yvonne for everything. 💐
Ian was amazing with all of us, he did explain how bed and biscuit works and he asked all the details about our dogs. I felt confident that was the right place. When I back from my holidays, Bocka and Bardot was super happy and very well looked after. I trust them and I feel they got love, attention and all what they need. Bardot is on meds and Ian managed it super well. Thank you so much for look after our babies very well. Super recommended.
We have been leaving our adored dog Riley at Bed and Biscuit for several years now, we cannot recommend it highly enough. Ian and Yvonne adore dogs, it is so obvious from the minute you set foot in their state of the art premises that is is all about the safety and comfort of the dogs. The area where each dog is kept is roomy and airy and there are given large comfortable beds to sleep on. Riley doesn't like being away from us and can be inclined to refuse to eat. Yvonne and Ian make it a priority that Riley eats, (not our experience in other kennels), and have lots of experience and 'tricks' to ensure that he does eat. There is a large outdoor area for the dogs to run around and they are also brought on regular walks. We are updated during the week about how Riley is settling in and this is a great comfort to us. The cleanliness of the kennels is second to none and all the dogs there seem so content when we drop or pick up. We would highly recommend using Bed and Biscuit, you will have great piece of mind and more importantly your dog will be well cared for and have great fun in fabulous surroundings.
Amazing kennels. Yvonne and Ian are so contentious and bent over backwards to help us with our anxious rescue dog. Very reasonable rates and excellent care.
Yvonne and Ian are amazing kind people who look after the dogs like they are their own. I haven't had good experiences with dropping my dogs into kennels in the past so I was a bit apprehensive about leaving them again but as soon as I met Yvonne and Ian, my mind was at ease. It was evident how much they love and care for the animals. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to leave their dog in the kennels. Thank you so much guys for looking after my two and keeping me updated on how they were doing while I was away
Our dog Bear stayed at Willow Farm Kennels for a week. I can’t recommend it enough, Rebecca was fantastic with him and I can’t thank her enough for the care she gave him. She sent us updates of him throughout the week which made us feel at ease. It’s like a hotel for dogs!! Would definitely recommend!
All at Willow Farm looked after my dog Zuko like he was their own. I felt completely at ease that he would not only have his basic needs met while we were away but he was also loved, played with, walked and talked to like he was part of the family! We got video and picture updates that we could see how content and happy we was while we were away and this gave us such peace of mind - he was on his own little holiday. Would (and have!!) recommend Willow Farm Kennels to everyone, especially if you are a little nervous about leaving your dog in Kennels, this is the place for you it's more of a home from home setting.
Our two dogs are just back from a 9 day stay at Willow Farm Kennels. I was so anxious leaving one of our dogs as she has hardly ever been away from us in 7 years, well I needn’t have worried Rebecca and Marc were absolutely amazing, sending us daily videos and messages gave us the reassurance we needed. The level of care and kindness given to our dogs meant the absolute world to our family, even returning home with freshly washed bedding. We can’t thank Rebecca enough and most certainly will be returning for more top class care
Our dog Bailey has stayed with Rebecca a few times now at Willow Farm Kennels. I just can’t recommend this place enough. From the moment you drop off your pet here you just get a sense they will be loved and spoilt for their entire stay. It really is like a doggy hotel and they have their own little vacation. Extremely personalised service and Rebecca gives you updates on how your dog is doing so you can enjoy your trip without worry.😁 Top class treatment and care for your 🐕🐩🐕🦺
My dog has stayed with Rebecca twice now and it has been amazing and he has had the best time. Rebecca was so in tune with my dogs needs and helped him settle in which put my mind at ease. She sent lovely pictures and updates and I could see he was loving his stay there. The second time we brought him back he jumped out of the car into the kennel without looking back at us, so we knew he was thrilled to be back. I would highly recommend willow farm kennels ☺️
We just collected our two terriers last week and they were two very happy boys! Rebecca is a lovely lady who runs a fantastic kennel at Willow Farm Kennels. We visited her premises beforehand and we were delighted to see how cosy and clean the kennels were. Also Rebecca has a lovely safe turnout area, our boys are master escape artists and they were perfectly safe!! Rebecca loves What she does and the effort she and her family put in shows through in her lovely facility. Fantastic place for your indoor furry friends! Very warm and caring. 😊❤️
Willow Farm Kennels is home away from home for any dog. They truly love and care for their canine wards. My dog Lucy has typically gotten homesick when we have left her in kennels, but not with Rebecca. We collected Lucy and after 2 weeks she was happy, well fed and well exercised!
Fantastic Kennels. Rebecca is so nice and updates customers with videos to let you see how your pet is doing. Can't recommend her highly enough.
Bailey my 6 year old Maltese just returned for a 10 day holiday with Rebecca! Willow Farm is such a lovely home from home environment - Rebecca sent videos of Bailey living his best life running around and playing with other dogs, it meant we could relax and enjoy our break knowing he was happy and so well looked after. We will definitely be back
Willow farm Kennels is very much a home away from home experience for your dog. Rebecca went above and beyond to make our dog Coco feel at home. Although Coco didn't make it easy Rebecca continued to do everything to make Coco feel more at home in her new environment. Coco was walked daily and came home very happy and content. I would highly recommend Willow Farm Kennels to anyone.
We have been using kosy kennels for quiet a while now , helen is amazing with the animals , the premises is very clean and well kept . Our cat and dog are well looked after when they visit kosy kennels .
Always leave our cat Smokie here when going abroad. Owners are terrific and we always have peace of mind when away. Smokie is always well cared for and the place is immaculate nestled deep in the countryside south of Murntown ✅✅✅✅
Lovely couple. Great care and love of the animals. Everything well maintained.
Had to leave my elderly dog there last minute for one night because of a personal emergency. She was there less than 12 hours and came back cold, covered in dust and hadn't eaten. The owners wife was extremely aggressive from the get go and told me my dog was so overweight it was animal abuse (she goes to the vet every six months who said she's a healthy weight) called her a "yolk" and after 30 seconds of meeting me said my dog should be put up for adoption and owned by someone who "knows what they're doing". This coming from a woman who then proceeded to grab my dog by the scruff of the neck to try get her into the kennel. I also rang in advance to check that all the dogs are kept separate as my dog is a rescue. The woman lets her own dog run off leash around the kennels and where you park your car which I don't think is very safe. My dog means the world to me so to have her treated this way was deeply upsetting as was the way I was spoken to. I would dread to think what state she would be returned to me in if I had left her there longer than one night. Absolutely shocking. Owners should be ashamed of themselves.
We were very disappointed by the customer service when we arrived to collect our dog. (7 month old rottweiler). All started off well. We went in and she was let out to us no problems, until we mentioned that she also had a lead. We followed the owner to the back and I got shown all the kennels which was nice. But then the owners wife came in with another customer and her dog. My dog still off lead went to see the other dog, she did not do any harm whatsoever she was interested is all. The other dog was also interested in my dog and they went to play. The other dog got off the lead and the two continued to play. The dogs owner then mentioned that it was her dog that got off and it wasn't a problem but during this time the kennel owner threw her hands around saying my dog was uncontrollable and that we as do owners don't have her under control saying a dog like her should be muzzled at all times, this was when she was still at the kennel accommodation, she is also only 7 months old. She was let out by the kennel owner to run around, not by me.! I was disgusted at her comments towards us as noone was hurt the dogs were fine and to say that I the owner of 6 dogs and work with animals everyday cannot control my dogs is incorrect and ignorant. One kennel owner said my dog was fantastic another said she is to be muzzled and is uncontrolled!! We then went to pay and it was 15e one nights stay. She charged 30e when my husband questioned her she said that's just what I'm charging you. Shocked and annoying I just paid and left. When we rang later on that day we asked if anything went on and if she was bold for his wife to react the way she did. He said no my dog is a great dog his wife just doesn't like big dogs they make her nervous. This is a woman who is a dog groomer. I am an animal handler/ dog groomer and animal behaviourst I know if you deal with animals everyday it's rare that any size dog intimidates you so this isn't true. We will not ever be going back. And won't recommend to anyone.
Booked our mini schnauzer in at Easter while we had a wkd at Ferrycarrig Hotel (handy drive).A really lovely spot, happy dogs all round & kids got a little tour of the place. 8 yr old was worried our dog would be lonely, but left her there happily knowing she was in great hands. Highly recommend
Kosy Kennels looked after my 3 month old puppy for 3 days & she was very happy & content. They are lovely people & the kennels are very clean with a stressfree atmosphere. I would reccommend for any cats & dogs without hesitation.
Never again. Absolutely shocking customer service and tried to be over charged. Woman owner even made a comment about wanting to take an overdose of valume and again when we were leaving said if we knew anyone with valume to send them up to her. Then laughed and walked away. Very unprofessional. Only giving one star because have to submit at least one.
Left my kitten here twice and she was really well cared for....place is very clean and secure and the owners Helen and John are lovely and kind.
I Left my dog here whilst I was away and the couple running the kennels are lovely and my dog was well looked after.
Excellent kennels for dogs. Plenty of enclosed areas for them, both grass and concrete. Dog sleeping area is large and pens are well laid out. Nicky Turner is your man there. He was certainly very good with my dog. Highly recommend.
I was so anxious of leaving my cookie with someone new for a week, especially a dog kennel. She was treated like a queen even got groomed. She wasn't alone as I had two other babies go with her. Came back picked her up and she was so excited to see me. My heart melted. I could not recommend this place enough as all I can say is it's amazing and you won't go wrong by choosing here. Thank you so much for looking after my best friend 🧡
I was debating whether or not to share my familys experience but I can't bite my tongue anymore. My family went on holidays and left our puppy with this crowd, only to return to him with an infected neck from being attacked by another dog — proper teeth sunk into his neck in multiple places. The kennel did not tell us this happened, my brother found out when he went to the car. It was badly infected which can only mean he was attacked upon his first or second night at the kennel. No responsibility was taken by the kennel until we asked them to pay for the vet bill. Shocking management and poor attention for the dogs in their care. Not to mention our puppy was so anxious when he came home, absolute disgrace of a place. If you are about your dogs wellbeing, don't send them here because you won't know what actually happens.
First time Leaving our 3 boys anywhere as we were away for month getting married l. I would highly recommend Nick and his boarding Kennells dogs were nervous when we left them but when we picked them up they seemed to have really taken to Nick. He also sent me updates via text and video would definitely recommend.
Well my two beautiful dogs went to Forth mountain boarding kennels last week for 3 days and I have to say the quality and treatment was second to none - Nick is obviously a fantastic dog man and my nervous German Shepherd took to him instantly- I can highly recommend these boarding kennels as both clean and comfortable and plenty of area for the dogs to get necessary exercise- we will definitely be back -
Highly recommend Nick and his Boarding Kennels,my dog stayed twice there now and she was well looked after. She returned in great shape. I even received a video update. I will definitely use this service again
I left my dog in with forth mountain kennels and they looked after my dog very well I don’t think she wanted to leave when we came back. The kennels and the area around them is kept very clean and tidy. I’d have no issues recommending anyone to use forth mountain kennels And I’d have no issues with bringing my dog back to them.
Just collected my Two dogs after 9 nights and delighted with the service, our dogs 1st time in away from us so we were very nervous leaving them..we got photos and updates throughout the week through WhatsApp from nick , highly recommend this place. Will definitely be using forth mountain kennels again, thanks again nick
My dogs are always happy to go here when we go on holiday, and come home happy and healthy. You couldn't ask for anything better
Fantastic kennels, our two dogs are always very happy to go in..and sad to leave...Nick is both friendly and professional...highly recommend!
