Sofia and Nicole were excellent sitters to our 2 playful cats (an adult tabby and a BIG Maine coon kitten). They gave us a couple updates daily with pictures, as we requested. They were easy to communicate with before and throughout the entire sit. When we came home, our apartment was tidy (probably neater than we left it!) and our cats were relaxed and happy. They were also kind enough to leave us with some sweet bandanas for our boys. We were super pleased with the quality of care, and would happily recommend Sofia and Nicole to anyone in need of a pet or house sitter!
Seàn was an amazing pet and house sitter! He was super communicative and took amazing care of my dog Nala and cat Bruce. They were happy and loved while I was away- I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for the two little fur babies! He sent great pictures and checked in every day so I had nothing to worry about. On top of all that, he also kept my place immaculately clean and left my place in wonderful shape. We can’t wait to have him back to sit and I would highly recommend him to anyone and everyone looking for a sitter!
Cynthia was a perfect pet sitter for our little kitty. We knew from her extensive experience with cats that Nala was in good hands. She was extremely responsive via texts when we were away, ensuring us that the 2 of them were having a great time. She went absolutely above and beyond by scrubbing our bath and toilets to remove our mineral deposit rings that we haven't been able to get rid of! She even left the name of the product she used so we can get more in the future. The house was cleaner than when we left. We'll have her back anytime!
Susan and Miranda are amazing! I've had the pleasure of working with many sitters and they are truly exceptional. They were great at keeping in touch, sent lots of updates, asked good questions, really bonded with the cats, clearly very experienced working with animals and understanding their needs, and generally lovely to deal with. They were really patient putting up with a whole bunch of deliveries and even assembled a spare bed! They also left the place spotless with clean sheets on the bed. I'm pretty sure the cats loved Susan and Miranda more than us by the end of their stay! I'd highly recommend them to anyone and would love to have them stay again any time.
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!!
Amber is as good a sitter as you will find anywhere! She treated our cats with such love and care, as if they were her own. She left our house in perfect tiptop tidy shape, and made sure to wash all the towels and linens before she left. She even cleaned out our coffee maker and took up our weekly trash without us even mentioning it! Amber is super kind and personable and we welcome her back to sit for us anytime! If you are looking for a sitter, you should definitely accept her application!
Toby and Chloe were one of the best house sitters we have ever had! As a small animal vet I have seen many types of pet sitters and these guys are top notch. Our pets are not easy either. We have special needs dogs, cats on medication, dogs with behavioral issues, horses, chickens, goats and a large (100 lb) Sulcata tortoise who needed close monitoring of the temperature in his barn. Everyone was thriving and happy when we came home. They read through the packet and asked thorough, thoughtful questions. They went above and beyond grooming, mucking and grazing the horses and goats everyday. They chopped greens and fruit daily for our tortoise. If we had known how amazing they were we would have booked a 3 week trip instead! Can't recommend them enough.
Denae and Burl were absolutely fabulous house/pet sitters for 4 weeks, Dec 2022- Jan 23. They are very friendly and intelligent, caring towards the animals (2 cats and 1 lively dog), and left our home clean and tidy. It all went very, very smoothly. It was a pleasure to deal with such nice people. We have invited them back whenever they want and hope the rest of their exploratory mission is a great success. I would be pleased to be contacted if anyone needs a further reference.
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!
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.
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 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 🐾 …
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
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.
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.
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 🏡 …
