. 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.
Stefany helped me out big time by stepping in when I asked. She's a local sitter and I wasnt' having any responses so I contacted her and she fit me into her schedule even during the holidays and right after another sit across the country. She took great care of my two cats and home and I very much appreciate it!
Becca was fantastic - we cannot say enough about how great she is as a pet and house sitter and as a human being! Becca committed to the sit 8 months in advance and was great with her responsiveness in communication during the long lead up to the sit. She arrived early and got the low downs on the animals and house stuff prior to us leaving. She woke up crazy early to help us get to the airport and picked us up when we returned, which made the traveling so much easier on our end. She left the house spot-less (and this is no exaggeration), with the linens cleaned, and a wonderful meal waiting for us upon our return. She is an absolute gem of a person with a great sense of humor and a kind and compassionate nature, and she really enjoys the animals in her care. Our dog and cat were very well cared for and totally at ease upon our return. If you are lucky enough to have Becca sit for you, you will be very pleased at how well she does the job!
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!!
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.
Quinn was an amazing sitter for my cat Moon! She regularly checked in with updates on moon while we were away on a two week vacation, and seemed to give her plenty of attention, play with her, etc. Communication was easy and she left our apartment spotless after departing. Highly recommend her as a pet sitter!
Catherine was wonderful! She took care of my cat and house while I was out of town and left and Jack the Cat very and calm and the house in perfect shape which I so appreciate. I could return home and attend to other things rather than cleaning house. I would recommend her as a sitter to anyone. She was easy to communicate with, provided updates and pics of Jack, willing to jump in and assist me as I left or returned. She has a sweet and warm personality and enjoys what she does with house sitting. Thank you Catherine!
Ruthee was a fabulous pet sitter for our three cats while we were gone for a month. Prior to the sit, she was consistent and communicative; she even came over early for a meet and greet to learn the routine. During the sit, she took great care of our three cats by playing with them (she made a fun cat toy!), scooping litter, feeding and watering them, and sent us text updates and pictures. We came home to happy fur babies and a clean home. She left the place very tidy which was greatly appreciated! We are so thankful for Ruthee and would recommend her should the opportunity arise. Your fur babies would be lucky to spend time with her. Thank you again for everything, Ruthee!
Kristine was wonderful again as our local sitter from just down the street. The boys take to her like she is their best friend whenever she comes to sit with them. She sent us photos of them playing, relaxing, drinking water and eating so we knew they were well taken care of. The house and the cats were in excellent shape and excellent hands while we were away. It is wonderful that she enjoys the house and the cats so much and tells us so. Kristine comes with our highest recommendation! Thank you Kristine!
Super nice sitters and extremely flexible. Really enjoyed their company and I only regret that I was too frazzled to chat with them more and get to know them! Kept the house super clean, pets loved them. Dog especially. Had a little problem with my new kitten not meshing well with the older cats (which was not too surprising since cats can be territorial). Pennee was very patient and gave me constant updates and tips. And the older cat was much more calm when I came home. Highly recommend and welcome back anytime!
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 2 houndies stayed at Cosy Couch with Triss and fam for a week, and I was absolutely thrilled with the service. Both dogs got on really well and were happy and relaxed. We got regular updates and plenty of pictures to put our minds at ease. We will definitely be back!
Timmy our Cavapoo had the most wonderful stay with Triss and her family. They have a lovely cosy home meticulously clean where their dog guests are treated as one of the family and lots of secure outdoor space to roam. It was a special occasion for us, our wedding and Triss brought Timmy dressed to the church for photos which was so kind of her. Timmy loved his stay and we will definitely book him in again. I couldn’t recommend them highly enough Thank you 🙏
Rodger had an amazing week-ation with Cosy Couch. He always looked so happy and comfy on all the photo updates which I received with little stories about his day with the family. Rodger came back happy and balanced, he has settled back to his regular routine flawlessly. Thank you again for the amazing service, professionalism, and most importantly the patience, care and compassion with which Rodger has been treated throughout his stay with you. We hope to be back again soon.
My 2 dogs Messi and Sasha had a wonderful stay with Triss&Rob .They were looked after so well ,and when Messi had a little medical issue it was dealt with by Triss so caringly. I Would highly recommend leaving your 🐕 with Triss and Rob. Margaret
Very happy with Cozy Couch dog minding service. Our dog loved it and was looked after really well. It is just like a home from home for dogs. The owners are extremely nice and helpful and helped us with everything. Booking is handy too and the location is super. Would highly recommend!!
My dog Sadie absolutely loved her overnight stay with Triss and Rob. She is quite an anxious dog and we have struggled leaving her in kennels. She settled in straight away and they looked after her as if she was their own. The care they gave was truly exceptional. I couldn't recommend more and Sadie is already looking forward to returning soon!
Absolutely perfect! Cosy Couch is exactly what we were looking for for our our shy, nervous sighthound boy. This really is a home from home environment, Triss and Rob are brilliant and really understand sighthounds and their ways. We travelled to Mayo to do an overnight meet and greet with our dog Shaggy before his stay in June, We were met with a kind and caring environment from the beginning which totally put us at ease, Shaggy sensed this and started to relax himself. Triss sent us photos and videos of Shaggy during his stay, frequent walkies around their large grounds, playing ball in the large fenced off courtyard, treats, cuddles and pets, the second we saw him up on the couch we knew he was happy and relaxed which totally put us at ease knowing he was safe and sound. I would 100% recommend Triss, Rob, Freddie and Rose to mind your dog. The truth be told Shaggy was sad to leave them and I know he will be delighted when he returns .
My dog Bailey goes to day care at Cosy Couch. Triss and Rob are so kind and caring with him and its clear how much they care for his welfare. I feel so at ease leaving him. I have regular pupdates through the day. He has regular walks, lick mats and snoozes on their comfy bed, tucked up under a blanket, or playing and cuddling up with Triss, Rob and the kids. He is so relaxed and happy when I pick him up, it truly is a home away from home. I would highly recommend a stay at Cosy Couch and feel so lucky to be able to bring Bailey there.
Fantastic care for my dog. She was looked after with the best care and attention and was part of a wonderful family. I will definitely be taking her to Cosy Couch in the future.
Our hounds were so relaxed with Triss and family. The younger of the two can be nervous about new places but very quickly warmed up to them and became fast friends with Tarky. Will definitely be returning and thanks again for taking such good care of them!
Debbie is such an amazing person who takes great pride and care in her business. Our Nala absolutely loves going on her holidays there it really is a home away from home. We would be lost without Debbie as we know Nala is getting the best attention and always spoilt by Debbie! Could not recommend highly enough 🐶 🐾 …
Debbie Doo's is amazing and Debbie couldn't have made things better for me. I had to leave Charlie for nearly 3 weeks as I was going into hospital. I knew from the get go that Charlie would be happy and I didn't need to worry about him. And I got loads of pictures. I can't say how grateful I was for having Debbie looking after Charlie. I will be forever thankful and ill be back. Thank you Debbie 😊
Absolutely excellent great to know such love n attention is given to Mara , Debbie is so welcoming always , Mara is so safe n looked after, truly we are so grateful to Debbie 😀😁😘🤩 …
What a lady and great service. I could not recommend Debbie enough. A really lovely lady who really loves the animals she cares for, would highly recommend this facility, great set up for the dogs. Thank you Debbie for always being you and for the care.
Debbie did a great Job of cutting our dog Sonny. Lots of things for the dogs to play with, great set up.
Lovely lady who fitted me in at short notice as she could see my dog really needed grooming. did an excellent job, he looked amazing after she worked her magic on him. I will definitely be going there again. Thanks Debbie
Great service. Highly recommend!
Such a happy place to take your dog . Debbie is one in a million .so caring and real genuine.daisy love her .she comes back home happy and we'll groomed .
I recently moved to Castlebar and was looking for a groomer for my pomeranian, I found Debbie's page online,And when I contacted her she was so friendly and took my appointment at such short notice, Debbie did a fantastic job on nova and I will definitely be back again...
Debbie is a fantastic lady. She went above and beyond to help with our dog. The kennels are spotless and the salon is great. Highly recommend.
It’s a well run establishment and the staff and management are all lovely. It didn’t work out for our nervous border collie who is very used to her quiet cosy home life, but I’m sure many dogs have a great boarding experience here.
Your kennels are 5 star spotlessly clean beautiful place where situated. Kennels lovely size. Pedro and staff thank you for looking after Bella she went there not liking other dogs you should see her now. Pedro introduced her to a few little ones like her she had a blast with the other dogs so grateful for that and all the videos you sent us .Wouldn't send our dog anywhere else THANK YOU
Excellent care, the 🐕🐕 are happy to go here & they sent us a video of them out running in the enclosure which was much appreciated ! Very good! Recommend …
We began to use Owenwee Kennels since the summer for our Hungarian Vizsla Lola. It is really reassuring to know Lola is so well cared-for by Pedro and Kathleen. They really focus on getting to know your pet’s character and habits. Lola is a high-energy dog and the excellent “run” at the kennels helps to meet her exercise needs. We thoroughly recommend Owenwee Kennels.
Fantastic kennels, we booked our two dogs in for 4 nights. Pedro and the girls were great, friendly and professional. Our dogs were very well looked after, the kennels are so clean and they have a great outdoor exercise area. We were very impressed. We will definitely be recommending Owenwee kennels to all our friends and family.
I was in Westport for a wedding so decided to look for a kennel local to the area to board my two dogs. Chose Owenwee and couldn’t be happier, we were met by Pedro on arrival and the check in was very professional which was reassuring! I mentioned one of my dogs is quite anxious and was delighted to see Pedro take his time when meeting him. Kennels looked super clean, really nice set up, and was thrilled that the first thing that they got to do on arrival was head up to the enclosed off lead area (very welcome after a long drive!). One of my dogs has the equivalent of a doggy Fitbit on his collar and over the two days they stayed I can see got plenty of activity while there which is great! If I’m ever in the area again I would 100% choose Owenwee for boarding again.
First time boarding our dogs there and we were delighted with the set up and communication while we were away! Getting the photos and videos of them exploring, seeing thoes tails wagging during their stay showed they were very contented as dogs tails never lie!!
Pedro was amazing with our 3 lively setters and took great care of them all. Owenwee really is a home from home, where the dogs are treated like family members. The kennels are spotless and set in a beautiful location. The enclosed dog run was ideal for our energetic dogs who need to run and play. They had a blast and we had great peace of mind knowing they were in safe hands. Thank you Pedro, Karen and Kathleen. See you soon!
Owenwee kennels are a superb boarding kennels. I have been bringing my dog to them for the past while and I find them very reliable and attentive and their establishment is so clean and the dogs in their care are looked after so well. They have a good area also for exercising the dogs. I am extremely happy with the service they provide and highly recommend their boarding kennels.
Left my black Labrador toby with owenwee kennels from 13th to 17th April 2022. The kennels are very well run , The buildings that keep the dogs are of a very high standard and well maintained and very clean. Pedro was extremely helpful and very flexible . The moment I met Pedro I just knew my dog would be well looked after. I would highly recommend owenwee kennels to all dog owners and would certainly leave my dog with Pedro again in the future.
