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!
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!
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.
Ruoyi was the perfect sitter for our cat Toni! We would highly recommend her to any pet owner, and hope she can sit for us again in the future. Ruoyi was very thorough - she made sure there was full alignment on all the specifics of her pet duties, and she asked thoughtful questions regarding details we forgot to include in our guide. She always provided us timely updates at the agreed cadence, and gave us a ton of photos. From the photos, it's clear she got in a lot of play time with Toni, which we really appreciated! :) We were able to enjoy our entire vacation stress-free knowing Toni was in such good hands. Ruoyi left our apartment completely clean and offered to wash linens.
Hannah and Joseph were brilliant sitters - totally reliable and trustworthy. Quick to respond to queries and their past experience with dog/ housesitting was very apparent. Our 2 dogs and 1 cat were well looked after and the house was spotless on our return. We are totally happy to recommend them.
This was the second time Cung sat for us and once again he was amazing! Cung was great with our cat, giving him lots of love and attention. Our cat was so comfortable he snuggled up with Cung frequently, which he doesn’t always do with strangers. We got daily updates and pictures. When we returned we could tell our cat was well taken care of. Cung was so organized and clean, as well. Our apartment was spotless when we returned. That’s always nice after coming home from vacation. You should definitely have Cung sit for you! One of the top sitters on this site.
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!
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!
Pennee and Bill were the BEST pet sitters and guests ever! I really wanted them to stay forever ! Our cat, Miss Kitty bonded so much to them, that she really wasn’t that happy to see me when I got home .Our cat is a finicky eater and they tried all different types of food and treats for her. They sent me regular photos of miss kitty and I knew everything was great when most of the pics had miss kitty on their lap. Our cat doesn’t take to many people but she immediately fell in love with them. Pennee sent us our mail and prescription meds on a regular basis , and went out of her way to take care of any issues . They fell in love with the neighbors and community and just made our lives so easy . We experienced the Covid 19 virus outbreak quarantine during this time and Pennee and Bill agreed to stay a month longer at our home . They were extremely flexible with their travel plans so that everyone would be safe. Upon our arrival home, we were greeted with a bouquet of flowers , beautiful hanging basket of flowers for outdoors and a beautiful bottle of wine . And our house had never been cleaner ! Bill and Pennee are a pet owners dream couple !I felt extremely lucky to have found such a great petsitter and new friend . We will be visiting each other in the future .
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!
I went to Rabbit Rooms for bonding services when my rescue rabbits began fighting. As a novice bunny owner I felt very out of my depth and anxious of how to best help my buns. Fiona has been a fantastic resource and support throughout the process. I couldn't speak highly enough of the care, understanding and guidance given. Following her directions I was able to adapt to give Hiccups & Bob the best set up to preserve their bond. Often information available online relates to caring for a single bunny, bonded bunnies might require a somewhat different approach. I went from feeling like I would have to re-home one of my boys, to seeing them the happiest they'd ever been. If you can give your rabbits this chance at rebonding please do because you never know what can be achieved with the right support. Hiccups and Bob are now living their best lives thanks to Fiona 🙂
Fiona was wonderful. Amazing with rabbits and helped me through the whole bonding process with my 2 bunnies. I would highly recommend this business for any rabbit needs including bonding rabbits so they can live together happily, and boarding if you are going away, fiona will look after your rabbits as if they were your own!
Rocco, our dwarf rabbit, was back for his hols in the Rabbit Rooms Small Animal Boarding.again last week. Fiona and her lovely family couldn’t have been kinder, giving advice before about what to bring to help Rocco settle, doing a good groom and nail clip for Rocco and sending photos and texts to let us know he was well. It’s a pleasure to do business with The Rabbit Rooms and with Fiona and her family. Rocco will be back in his fave rabbit hotel again in July. And Rocco spent two weeks in the Rabbit Rooms in July/August 2024. He is always relaxed going to Fiona’s and come back in great shape. Very happy with the time and attention she gives him and with her extensive knowledge of all things bunny!
Fiona is amazing at her job! We had a few issues before trying to find a second bunny to bond with our rabbit. After we found a rescue rabbit that we fell in love with we really wanted to take him home but had concerns as we would be attempting to bond two males. Nearly everyone told us this cannot be done and it’s very rare if it is. When we brought our second rabbit home they didn’t really get along, we were so desperate to make it work so we took them to Fiona to get bonded, to our surprise when we went to collect them after their bonding time was up they were cuddling in the one carrier together!! they’re now inseparable and we couldn’t be happier we chose Fiona to do it for us. Seriously changed our lives and certainly Richards (our first rabbit) who was in serious need of company and Lionel who we took in from a rescue who needed a brother to play and cuddle with. I seriously cannot recommend fiona enough! Now instead of separate play times and cages to separate them, they run around together all day and can play and sleep together, it’s heart warming to see them both so happy in each others company.
If you're contemplating sending your bunnies for bonding with Fiona, do not hesitate, because you will not regret it, she is brilliant! She is honestly a Rabbit expert. She bonded our two female buns for us and we couldn't be more grateful. To see them now, the best of friends snuggling, is something I did not think was possible as we had some fights in the past. Fiona works miracles and is not only a rabbit therapist but a human one too because she will reassure you through the whole process! We needed Fionas help because Bonnie was a rescue bun, aggressive and fearful of other rabbits. We thought we made a mistake getting a second rabbit because they would attack each other through the cage. Fiona was able to work her magic and they are now inseparable! Thanks again Fiona, you are doing great work and amazing at what you do! Love Bonnie & Binx xx
Our Bunnies have stayed with Fiona and family for several years now. We'd never cope without her. They are elderly bunnies at this stage and we know when we leave them with Fiona that they are in expert hands. She loves and cares for them as we do. Brownie (11yrs) was a bit 'off' this Summer and Fiona was quick to act. She was great with administering medication and seeking advice from our fantastic vet at Palmerstown Veterinary. It was a tough Summer with the heat at The Rabbit Rooms I'm sure, but Fiona and her fabulous team went to great lengths and kept their visitors cool. Thank you Godmother Fiona! xxx Brownie & Oreo
Toffee our pet rabbit was so well cared for and enjoyed his first stay at The Rabbit Rooms. He was in the company of lots of other rabbits,hamsters and guinea pigs which I wad told appealed to him and he showed great interest in these other furry friends. I am already thinking of prebooking him over the Christmas period. I would highly recommend The Rabbit Rooms for boarding your pet.
I was so delighted with The Rabbit Rooms. I had been nervous to leave my bunny anywhere for two weeks, but Fiona completely put my mind at ease. She sent me regular updates on him including photos of when he’d be spending some (supervised) time out in the garden, and he even got a pamper session while he was there! Will definitely be using The Rabbit Rooms again.
We have used the rabbit rooms a couple of times already and cannot recommend it enough! Fiona is really great with them and they come back very happy and stress free. The online booking system is really handy to see availability and the online portal gives the chance to give any needed information about your pets! The updates are really nice to see how they're getting on when you're away. Thanks Fiona!! :)
Fiona was incredible all the way through with our three bunnies. Chaos and Tiny, both male and Penelope, our female, went in to fiona to be bonded. After just four days of intense work with Fiona, our two males who used to fight regularly are grooming and sleeping beside each other. All three bunnies are loving each other’s company and none of this was possible without Fiona. Great communication all the way though as well as easy, clear instruction for when you pick them up and take them home. Drop off and pick up was as easy as could be. Can’t recommend Fiona’s service enough. 10/10.
Kim is awesome! She is an excellent dog trainer and animal carer, she provides dogs with amazing and responsible care on walks and is a fantastic people-trainer too. She is compassionate, knowledgeable and kind. Your dog or pet is absolutely safe and happy with her. There are a tiny number of people (you can count them on one hand) that I would allow care for my dog and Kim is one of the very few. And that says it all!
Kim is excellent with all dogs big and small! My little pupper is so well behaved after her walks with Kim and she picks up some really great habits. Kim knows her stuff so this is so much more than dog walking, she incorporates training when they're out and about and I can always see an improvement. We get pics of their adventures too which is so lovely. She's a great photographer to boot. I can't recommend Kim enough.
Kim is so caring, considerate and professional to deal with. She has a genuine love for dogs and all four legged friends which is evident in how she treats her clients. Can't recommend her enough!!
Kim is amazing and my dog absolutely adores her! When we say her name he runs to the window looking for her. She is so good with our dog and takes such good care of him. She is so reliable. We would be lost without her.
Kim walked our two dogs for a couple of years before the pandemic and I couldn’t recommend her enough. Lovely person, very professional and absolutely loved our dogs like her own. We will hopefully get her back walking them when I’m back in the office full time.
Kim is absolutely fantastic, she just loves all animals and is so caring and professional when it comes to looking after them. She is great for offering training or caring advice and I would highly recommend her.
Kim did a great job of looking after my 3 chinchillas. On our return my chinchillas looked very happy and no stressed at all😊 We also received some pictures while we were away🙂 I would fully recommend Kim 👍 …
Kim is the answer to all your dog sitting worries: reliable, kind, genuine animal lover, experienced, Knowledgeable, there's no better professional than Kim. Thank you so much for the help and support! You are AMAZING!
Brilliant with our dog . Kim has great patience and loves animals and they love her.
Superb skilled trainer with excellent credentials. Highly recommend.
Luna stayed here for a full week and she’s had a blast. Gayle takes really good care of all the dogs. You get daily updates on social media where you can see your furry friends enjoying their time with others on the green fields and all the safely fenced areas they have for the dogs. They also do doggy daycare, so there are always dogs so your little one has always some company. I will definitely will bring Luna back.
Thank you so much to Gayle and all the lovely team at Bridle House Hounds for yet again taking such good care of Ozzy. Ozzy is a nervous dog and the team went out of their way to make sure he was settled and happy during his week stay. Such peace of mind to know he is so well cared for when we are away. Thanks again 😊 …
Great standard of care. Amazing grounds and facilities. Gayle is treating every dog as part of her family. It is home away from home type of care. I wouldn't leave my dogs anywhere else. My 3 dogs, 2 labradors and collie cross stayed with Gayle for 14 nights while we were away on holidays and Gayle took great care of them and provided me updates and photos via WhatsApp . One of my dogs has few phobias, like not being able to walk on tile floors and Gayle always trying to make his stay comfortable by using throws on the floor. Highly recommend.
This is not your average kennel! Lovely house and grounds. Safe setup. Dogs are treated like their family pets! Thanks to Gayle and her team. Would recommend +++
Our dog Bailey suffered from anxiety due to being attacked, our dog trainer didn't work but taking our dogs to Bridle House Hounds has really helped. Both our dogs have a great time and we now take them once/twice a week. Highly recommended.
Gayle and team are an absolute dream to deal. Ted adores going here as well
Fantastic “Dog Hotel” as we call it. Our 2 friends are so very well cared for and loved in our absence . Complete peace of mind when they are with Gayle and her family . So happy to have found you ❤️
Excellent location and grounds. Friendly staff. Its like a doggy hotel. They looked after our 3, 2 labs and a collie, while we were away on hs for 10 days and we knew they were in good hands.
The sorroundings is so cleaned now specially the frontyard and backyard areas. Good job guys a perfect place for our pets. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED GUYS! 5 STAR RATINGS.
If you want your dog to get the very best of care and not have any worries while you're away, this is the place you leave it.
Highly recommend. Great service and we came home to one happy dog, thanks so much 🥰 …
Extremely grateful for the the great care that my dogs get here. Highly recommendable
Great service would have no problem recommending to all.
Great dog walking service and over night service my dog is a regular 😁 …
Fantastic place to mind and walk dogs if you're working. 5 🌟 …
Couldn’t recommend any higher, wouldn’t trust anyone else. Such a lovely and genuine person to deal with.
Brilliant service thanks so much!
Fantastic Service 5 Star 🌟 …
Jennifer is very professional, skilled at dog training and its obvious that she genuinely loves the dogs! Thats exactly what i was looking for in a dog walker. I don't have to worry if she is coming in she will take care of my frenchie and she really goes above and beyond for our four-legged friends. She spares no energy playing with them - its not just a walk but its play time - chasing balls, socialising with other dogs etc. Jennifer took the time to learn whether i like to keep my dog on the leash or not, what food she is allergic to and what are her favourite toys. Cant recommend her enough.
Jen has let us down massively on a number of occasions leaving our much loved dog home alone for hours despite an agreed time for a walk or simply cancelling at a moments notice without any warning, apology or valid reason. I have never felt as disappointed and let down by someone who we entrusted to enter our home and look after our pet.
We would be lost without Jen! Our dog is also obsessed with her. She's been walking him for more than 2 years and is so reliable and caring. We know he is always safe with her.
Jennifer is brilliant with dogs and people. She explains well anything as we have to be trained more often than dogs. Lodi (our Old English Bulldog) loves her and she brought us calmness, understanding of dogs needs and behaviour, wrapped up in a kindness and great communication. We would recommend Jennifer for walks and training!
Jennifer has been a God sent for us. We have a 9.5 months old Labrador puppy (Milo) and keeping up with his excercise requirements along with our work schedule was proving to be a bit of a challenge. When we first met Jennifer, we just clicked with each other and Milo just fell in love with her...it is very evident how much love Jennifer has for dogs. She always goes above and beyond and provides a very reliable, professional service. Milo comes back tired, happy and content. He now recognises the term 'Jennifer Walk' which we use before he is picked up by Jennifer and anytime we use that term, he gets so excited and happy that he runs towards the door and waits for her. He even start whining when waiting for her :)... I am really glad that we decided to give Jennifer a call and I would highly recommend Lucan Dog Walkers to anyone looking for this type of service.
Lucan Dog Walker has helped out our family so much, working with our 3yr old rescue dog. She fixed our leash pulling problem and now Prancer is so great to walk with. Jennifer is so lovely to work it, cannot recommend her enough! Thanks again.
Our family absolutely loves Lucan Dog Walkers. Jennifer is so good to Percy and he loves her. I highly recommend her as she is professional, patient, trustworthy and loving to our beloved Percy.
My dog does not like many people but when he met Jen he instantly loved her. When I mention her name he goes straight to the window to see where she is. Jen has been nothing but professional and trustworthy. She has been a god sent to us and we wouldn't be without her.
I get a great feeling about Jenny and my little Cookie was very happy to go off on her walks and very happy and tired when she returns. Very reliable and friendly service. Will be using from now on.
Thank you so much Jenny. This is giving me one less thing to worry about during the week knowing that you are here to bring my dog for his well deserved walk and play about. Absolute wonderful service and highly recommend.
