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!
Young was the perfect house sitter for us. From the moment you meet her, you can tell she is animal person and is detailed oriented and will take great care of your house and pets. She exudes a peaceful and grounded energy. She was comfortable with each our pets from the high energy dog to the shy skittish cat. She played with the dog in the yard every day and took him on walks. And she was also very attentive to our cats and figured out how to maintain the equilibrium in the relationship between the cats and dog. She is an excellent communicator; she asked questions when our directions weren't clear and kept us updated on the pets. She is also an amazing photographer. She sent us pics of our pets every day that totally captured each of their personalities.
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!
Sabre is a sweet, honest person who stepped up at the very last moment (after the prior sitter flaked out) to watch our dog and cat for 17 days. When there were a couple minor accidents, she informed us of them right away. One involved a burnt pan (easy to do if you’re not familiar with an induction stovetop) which she offered to replace. Sabre also washed the towels and sheets, and made up the bed before we got home. The yard was pooper scooped and litter box was clean. Pets seemed well-cared for. When she had to leave town for several hours one day, she made sure to arrange for our neighbor take care of the pets. Additionally, I appreciated how she didn’t assume that it would be ok to bring her cat. When we found out she was going to keep her cat in a kennel during her stay here, we told her she could bring him which worked out fine. Overall, I would confidently recommend Sabre to watch your pets and house.
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.
We literally cannot say enough positive things about Susan and Miranda! They are the best! From start to finish, they did an amazing job communicating with us, giving our 3 (somewhat needy) cats extremely high quality care and tons of attention, and keeping our house clean and plants watered. They took adorable pictures of the cats and sent them to us several times a day, played with them and gave them so much love and affection, and when we got home the house was even cleaner than when we left. We even asked them for some tips on how they were caring for the cats because our cats seemed happier and more relaxed than ever when we returned home to them! This was by far our best cat/house sitter experience to date. We hope Susan and Miranda are available again in the future to sit for us and would invite them back without hesitation.
Jenny was an absolute delight, lovely to speak to and patient with last minute changes. I have had bad experiences with trusting people with my cats before so was really anxious as Jenny is the first house sitter I have used from zeewoi. But, I felt at ease as soon as I spoke to her, she has a lovely manner and she came round the day before the sit to male sure she had every detail right. But I think the thing that helped the most was her regular updates about my cats. I could see from the videos she sent they were given lots of love and attention. My cats don't usually play with people but my little girl seemed to love her! My flat was immaculate when I got back as well, I am so grateful to Jenny for all her help and really hope to have her sit for me again!
If Macie and Roman ever apply to your post for a house or pet sit, I strongly encourage you to jump at the. offer. You will not be disappointed. They are among the top (if not the top) sitter I've ever had and I've been on this site for years. Primarily, they are very organized. In the weeks and days leading up to the sit, Macie and Roman kept me abreast of their plans and status. I felt very comfortable in the days leading up to the sit because I knew the plan we made to exchange the keys and walk them through the instructions would work as planned. Second, Macie and Roman really care. When they got to my apartment after a very long morning of traveling, I explained the care instructions and they were very attentive and cared about the details - asking very specific questions on how to care for my cat and apartment. I had some pretty specific rules about how to feed my cat and take care of him and Macie and Roman followed those exactly. Third, Macie and Roman make you feel comfortable while you are away. I got daily or twice daily updates about my cat. I got pictures which made me feel like my cat was having a good time. My cat came out of hiding very quickly and was snuggling with them and letting them hold him. It was so nice to see the pictures of them all bonding! Macie and Roman have a calming energy towards animals for sure! Macie and Roman were also very responsive when I reached out first - replying within 30 minutes. I really appreciated that. Fourth, Roman and Macie will take good care of your apartment/house. I came back to a SPOTLESS apartment. The towels were washed. The apartment had been vacuumed. The kitchen was clean. The dishwasher had been run. Everything was in its place when I returned. Honestly, cleaner than when I left it which is difficult since I am a very clean person. Macie and Roman also respects your property. We had a room we asked them not to enter and they respected that. In short, Macie and Roman are amazing. I would have them back in a heartbeat. If you have any questions I would be happy to answer them. Ask Macie and Roman for my number.
Amazing sitters - I feel so fortunate to have had them stay. Chapeau was treated to daily walks and belly rubs, and my cat Tica was overflowing with contentment from having been taken care of so well. The house was cleaner than I left it and I was treated to a nice note and a lovely candle upon my return. Also, they left a checklist of item that they had done while here. Truly above and beyond!
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!
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!
This is our 2nd time carrying our Cat here. It’s obvious that she’s really well looked after, and she was quite content when we collected her. It’s obvious here too that Jim and Bernie and also Gemma like animals.We will be back again, and WE would highly recommend “COMFY KENNELS” for a little holiday for your PET.
Lovely and friendly people here. My dog doesn't mind going there because u always get a great vibe from the place. The grooming service that's available there is fantastic and any time i drop off my dog she get groomed. Keep up the great trade and we'll be in touch again soon 🙂👍👍 …
Wouldn't go to any other kennels. Jim has a natural understanding of animals. All i can say is a big thank you to all staff including Sarah, for looking after Sheena. Will to be back soon. 5*****
I always take my dog sammy to gemma in comfy kennels to be groomed, the service is first class. He loves going there,hes like a new dog after .we also use comfy kennels when we go on holiday its home away from home for them. No better place
Extermal obliging. Rang them to say running a bit after time and no problem and spent a while chatting with the owner at a distance but having her reassuring us about the dogs. So so considered and very helpful. Couldn't do more for the doggies
I recently left my dog at comfy kennels, i found them to be very friendly and very professional. I would highly recommend them. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Very helpful and friendly staff. Explained everything, good service, definitely will use again if have to, thanks leds
An excellent kennels. Well signposted once you get to Dromdowney. Jim and Bernie really go above and beyond.
Very friendly, very easy to deal with and reasonable price.
my dog was after staying there injured.
Our puppy goldendoodle has been going to Pat's day care for a few weeks now and I would absolutely recommend him to anyone. The dogs have so much space to run around and are so well cared for. Our fella gets so excited when we drive in! Pat is a gentleman and is great for tips and advice.
I have been bringing my 3 dogs Caviler King Charles Spaniels & Labradoodle to Pat for over a year now . I am very happy with the excellent service Pat gives and how well my dogs are minded when they go for there stays . Very accommodating . My dogs are always so happy. Thank you very much Pat will see you again very soon Eva
Super cut the dog. Very nice person and very sociable. Has a lot of talent. Price performance ratio also fits. Thank you very much. Anyway again. Thumbs up.
Was very surprised that my puppy was refused daycare due to her breed. I had a phone call with Pat and explained that I am looking for my 4 month old bullbreed puppy to be looked after while I am in work. He proceeded to tell me that she will be banned soon and that he would not take her. Please bare in mind that my puppy absolutely adores dogs, people, cats and just wants to play and cuddle. I am trying my best to socialise her in the hopes that she is a well rounded,obedient dog. When this daycare didn't even carry out an assessment on my dog, but just judged straight away I would definitely not trust someone like that with my dog. I was very upset and disheartened that someone that works with dogs as their job would have made such a quick judgement of my puppy based on a stereotype. Fortunately for my puppy, two other daycares have offered to take her as they fully understand bullbreeds and know that they are very sweet, misunderstood dogs and its mainly bad owners that give the breed a bad name when they are not fully trained. I understand that Pat may be concerned about the welfare of the other dogs in the daycare but if he actually carried out an assessment on her he would realise that she is a beautiful little puppy. His manner was really off putting and upsetting.
Pat is a natural at caring for dogs. My grandson and I took 2 Springer Spaniels to him last week. Both dogs needed a good go over.Pat did an amazing job on them . We were delighted as I think were the dogs as well! We will certainly go back and we will pass on his name to our friends. Thank you Pat.
We own a lab retriever and Pat’ room and groom is a fantastic service which I highly recommend. We have found Pat excellent to deal with, he is brilliant with dogs and has a genuine love of animals which is probably helpful in his line of business😀. Great space and service, thanks Pat. Richard/Trish and Leo!
Pat has been a god send to me with my very energetic 8 month old boxer pup. The facilities are amazing and my boy loves going there every day! Would highly recommend Pat and his facility to everyone 👍👍 …
Central to Mallow town, but most importantly my dog is so happy there, he has fun and is well looked after. When I’m at work or on holiday It’s the peace of mind that know He’s getting plenty of excercise, socializing with other dogs, and generally having a lovely time. Can’t ask for more than that. Just turning into the yard he gets excited! Plus Pat has so much experience with dogs that those that need a quieter time are catered for too..would highly recommended to anyone.
Had our dog groomed by Pat a few days ago. She looked Beautiful when I came to collect her. I would highly recommend Pat for grooming and will certainly be returning. Thank you Pat!
Alfie and Beatty just returned home having spent a great week in Pat's care. They were sad to leave their new little doggy friend behind and they will be more than happy to make a return visit. Thanks so much for a great holiday, it was truly home from home 🏡 …
Our dog Buzz was absolutely well looked after at Cork Paws! we were kept very up to date during his stay, Kristian and Stephen were very kind and phenomenal, taking great care of Buzz, I'd have no hesitation in recommending Cork Paws, if you are looking to leave your Dog in a friendly and safe environment.
I would absolutely recommend Kristian and Steven to anyone in need of care for their dogs. They have a beautiful home and 2 gorgeous dogs who were lovely relaxed friends to my little 5month pup and my parents 18 year terrier. Kristian sends lots of photos of them enjoying their holidays! Honestly think they’re great and so glad to have found them, it was like a home away from home for them both.
Absolutely reccomend this place, went to a wedding for 2 nights and with a 1 week notice, they were able to look after our dog Lexi for those days. Steven and Kristian are lovely, they had us bring Lexi over to get familiar with the house and them and their two dogs Buddy and Abbey who are adorable and very friendly, before we left. While away they kept me up to date with messages and pics of my dog to show how well and happy she was, playing with their own dogs. There house is lovely and they have a nice big back garden that is fenced off that they play in, so your dog cant make a prison break they also walk the dogs everyday. If you want your dog to be looked after in a family home enviroment, while you're away, rather than be stuck in a kennel with 20 other dog's and not looked after as much, Cork Paws Dog Boarding is the place to go. Next time I have to go away, I will be sending my dog here.
I didn't there was such a thing as the perfect dog minder for my pampered pooch Charlie until I met Kristian that is. Charlie is just back home from an amazing stay with Kristian Stephen and their two beautiful dogs. He was so well looked after and made one of the family and I got loads of updates and photos from Kristian. Charlie can't wait to go back! I would have no hesitation in recommending Cork Paws to any dog owner. Thank you so much Kristian!
I cannot recommend Kristian enough 😊 My Rosie can be nervous at times with new people but after her first day care with Kristian she was all waggy tails going again. Rosie recently spent 4 nights boarding with Kristian and she had the best time with walks and her friends Abby and Buddy. It was a huge relief to know she was in such good care. Thank you so much for everything we will see you soon!
My boy Toby stayed overnight in Kristians and I was very happy with everything. He sent regular photos and updates and Toby got on great with the other dogs in the house. He came home absolutely exhausted after a fun filled weekend! I would definitely use their services again.
Chico had a great day at day care with Kristian. He was well looked after and he was exhausted when he got home after a full day of fun with the other dogs. Highly recommend!
Elmo had the most wonderful weekend. He loved all the attention that he got and we got regular photos and updates. The biggest surprise was when we collected him and he was surrounded by three other dogs, and loving it. This was far from the dog we left three days earlier that barked at every dog he saw! Can't recommend Cork Paws enough. We'll definitely be bringing him back for his holidays!
Alfie stayed with Kristian recently while we were away. We were delighted with the updates daily and the photos sent on to us. Alfie looked like he had great fun there. It was a relief to have Alfie looked after in a home environment and with their own dogs there for company too. We would not hesitate to use Cork Paws again.
Brilliant!! My dog Bella had the most amazing time! I received cute pic updates of her while I was away which was lovely reassurance, she really enjoyed her stay and can’t wait for her next adventure! A home away from home.. Thanks Cork Paws 🐾 …
5 star heated Kennels. Our whippet Brax is too old for outdoor kennels but is super happy here. We can tell he is looked after. Highly recommend giving the guys a try for your furbaby.
We used the wedding service provided by Hairy Hounds & it was fantastic. Our dog stayed at the kennels & then Shane & Lorraine brought him to the venue for photos and then back to Hairy Hounds again. Shane & Lorraine & staff were a pleasure to deal with, so accommodating & great with our dog. Fab facilities, would recommend & wouldn't hesitate to use again if we're ever back in Cork.
Always fantastic service. Both Lorraine are very pleasant and efficient. Our dog always comes back gleaming and cut to perfection. Would highly recommend.
Hairy Hounds provided excellent care for our dog on both occasions (4+ nights) I travel over 50 minutes each way just for Russell to stay here. The dogs have plenty of freedom and a lot of love shown to all dogs! Haven't availed of their dog grooming service yet but plan on doing so next time.
Absolutely fantastic service at Hairy Hounds. Shane and Lorraine and staff have a real passion and love for dogs. The care and love they show our dog Charlie is always 2nd to none. Highly recommend
Lorraine and Shane are brilliant at what they do! They are so accommodating for my dog. My dog is always so excited to go to day care and they have seen this by his excitement in the mornings, that when it comes to home time he doesn’t want to know me😅 .. I couldn’t recommend these guys enough for the care they give each dog, and it’s always so nice to see photos / videos on Instagram @hairyhounds2012 on how much fun there all having and know they are in safe hands!!
Very nice to deal with and big time dog lovers. When we were leaving, our dogs ran back in to get one last chat.
Absolutely fantastic service. Shane and Lorraine have a real passion for dogs. The care and love they gave our dog Baxter was amazing. Highly recommend
I highly recommend this place, my dog was there for 2 weeks, you can watch movies and photos every day from the dog's stay at the hotel, I recommend
Lovely staff. Very good groomers. Take good care of pets.
I used Cobblestone Kennels recently and found Jayne ans her husband extremely friendy and helpful. Our Dog was in great condition both times we used this Kennel and I easily recommend Cobblestone Kennels to anyone. They don't have a very large number of Kennels and our dog got plenty of excerise and attention. Thanks Cobblestone.
Lovely kennels. My dog is always cared for here. Very clean, owners are so nice.
Professional and loving home from home for our dogs... Always feel happy handing over our precious cargo.. Thanks Jayne and Eugene 😊❤️ …
Very professional , my dogs always have a great time here and are well looked after by Jayne
Excellent care for our two cats for over a week. Thanks again.
Great cattery. Tony is very loving to all his boarders and the cats always come home well cared for. Peace of mind on holiday for definite.
We've left our cat with Tony a few times and can't fault his service! Tony is great to deal with, very understanding and so natural with our cat Max. Max is always content when returning from his time in Wags and Tails. Will be definitely returning to Tony again! Thanks :)
My cats have stayed with Tony at least 4-5 times since they were kittens and never had a problem. He sent updates on their well-being while we're on holidays for our peace of mind. The facilities are designed with cats in mind and it´s spotless. Even he has two different areas for the colder months. There are plenty of areas for playing and climbing too. Tony is passionate about animals and knows how to treat them. Always it´s been easy to deal with him and had excellent service, he even offer pick up and delivery. I could not recommend more
Toffee and Coffee had a great time. Chilling at home after picking them up. Thanks Tony. Highly recommended.
My two cats seemed to enjoy their first holidays at Wags & Tails and they've returned happy and healthy. Great communication from Tony from the start. Will definitely be back.
Tony is great, very flexible and lovely to deal with.
Tony was fantastic to deal with,minded my cat for 2 weeks and he was very happy. Gave me a little tour of the cattery,it's great. Highly recommend
Found Tony really rude when collecting our cat. He became very angry when I mentioned I would like to be allowed in past the driveway gate when collecting, to see where she had been staying. He refused. He said no viewings June, July, August. When I said I find that very unusual he became quite angry I had to ask him to stop shouting at me & all he said was go on away woman with your cat. I do not recommend, very odd, made me feel they were trying to Hide something, when they should be trying to instill confidence. Paid €280 for 3 weeks, no receipt provided either!
Great experience. I left my cat here for over 3 weeks while I was on holiday. He was well cared for by tony and is a lot more sociable and confident after the experience
Daycare, Grooming and Boarding. Joyce and her team are superb, the only place I’d entrust with our pawsome girl. Holly skips in the door and we’ve complete peace of mind at work and on holidays. Every time we collect her she’s in top form, happy, healthy and says goodbye a few times before we leave. Simply the best 🐾 ⭐️ 🐾 ⭐️ 🐾 ⭐️ 🐾 ⭐️ 🐾 ⭐️
A truly perfect experience, and my dog loved it!
Rosie loves her time in little Paw's. Thanks for the great care you all take with our pet.
Very friendly staff. Had my 3 dogs stay here for 3 nights and they seem to have had a ball. Very reasonable also. Beautiful grounds and space for the dogs to run around. Will definitely be using them again. Thanks so much.
Fantastic groomers tried a few different groomer's over the years and this is definitely the best place for our dog "Happy"
Fantastic is all I can say, our dog hates going there to be groomed, like many pets, but is absolutely happy, content and beautifully groomed upon collection. Staff are great our pet, who has a skin condition, and take extra time for her needs. Very knowledgeable and caring, well worth trying out.
Just brilliant, my 2 shih-tzu’s (one of which is a very tough cut) love going there for grooming. My other chap was fostered there and they really looked after him before I took him. The just love dogs and it shows. Highly recommend.
Very happy with the care my doggies got here! They seemed really comfortable and cosy and well looked after, and the facilities seem really safe!! We’ll definitely be coming back again ☺️
I've been using little paws for 12 years. Joyce and co given the best of care to my dogs all down through the years. You couldn't find a better place to leave your little mischief makers while at work or on holidays.
This is such a lovely boarding Kennels and Joyce is so helpful. We were going on holidays and the kennels we had booked into fell through at the last minute and Joyce at Little Paws was very kind to take our dogs Cooper and Ralphie for 10 days. They both had a lovely time. I would Highly recommend this as a boarding Kennels. Thank you Little Paws.
We left our senior girl with Allie for 11 days recently. It was Chorizo's first stay in kennels since 2018, so we took her to meet Allie some weeks before our holiday. I could see immediately that there would be absolutely no problems. Our girl is a bit on the anxious side, but Allie's many years' experience working with rescues has given her a fantastic way with nervous dogs, and she immediately formed a bond with Chorizo. We had a lovely holiday, knowing that Chorizo was having the time of her life, with the photos to prove it! She made so many friends amongst the other residents, something we wouldn't have thought likely, and she was so well cared-for and exercised. I can't recommend this beautiful kennels highly enough, and most particularly Allie herself. What a heavenly place! ☀️
It was my dogs first time ever being away from us in 3 and a half yrs, we were so nervous, well there definitely wasn't any need, ozzie had a great time with allie, and the new doggie friends he made, fabulous Kennels, and spotlessly clean, highly recommended, thank you allie ❤
My Donal had an absolute ball at Allies. This boarding kennels is dog heaven. Allie is the consummate professional and her kennels were designed solely with the dogs safety and comfort in mind. We really appreciated the beautiful and rather hilarious photos we received of Donal bounding around the paddocks with all his new friends. This gave us such peace of mind to know that his holiday was just as enjoyable as ours. So glad to have found this lovely kennels and Donal cannot wait to visit again.
I have two energetic Springer Spaniels who have stayed with Allie when I've been away on business trips. It's a relief to know that they will be well looked after, get plenty of exercise and have the chance to socialise with other dogs. I can tell from their reactions when I arrive at Allie's that they're happy to be there and that they're really fond of her. It really is like a home from home for Joey and Susie. Highly recommended.
I don't know who loves Allie's Kennels more - us or our dogs! When we drop them off they charge inside with barely a backward glance, and when we collect them they are grinning and happy. We've used many kennels over the years, in four countries, and Allie's is the best by a long shot because every aspect of a dog's well-being has been taken into account. The kennels themselves are purpose-built and fantastic - spacious, light, extremely well-designed and absolutely spotless. The outside areas are a dream, with plenty of space for running around and socialising with other guests, yet fully enclosed. Allie takes the dogs for long rambles and as we all know, a well-exercised dog is a happy dog. If you want complete peace of mind that your dogs will be in the absolute best, most experienced and calm hands, and happy out while you're away, look no further than Allie's.
Heaven on earth for dogs... The level of care and attention that Allie gives each pet is second to none. The kennels are spotless, in a gorgeous location with fantastic walks and several outdoor areas for play time and socialising - there's even an agility course for your dog to try. Allie can send you photo updates and a pattern will quickly emerge of your dog(s) having the craic day after day!! So if you want your pet to have a fab time while you're on holiday, bring them to Allie's. I would entrust my dog to no one else.
The ultimate holiday for our gang – they jump out of the car, excited out of their minds on arrival. For the humans, it’s not just the high quality of the accommodation and exercise area, it’s your confidence in who’s taking care of them that matters so much – and Allie is has that in spades. From the secure outdoor space to the sleeping quarters, you know your dogs are having a good time – and you can totally relax on your break too.
I highly recomend Allies Kennel. She is a very profesional sweet woman. We left our 4months doggy in the kennels. Allie was very kind with her and with us, she sent me messages and fotos of our litle girl. If we need to leave or baby somewhere again, we will call Allie.
Fantastic place! My dogs are somewhat awkward but they had a great time: they were relaxed and happy. I got regular updates. Professional, clean, fantastic grounds, the lot.
Our dogs love it here and are always excited to see Allie. Loads of fresh air, professional set up and great location.
