This was our first time using zeewoi and we were a little apprehensive, especially as we were going away for almost 5 weeks, but we really didn’t need to be. Mary and Kevin were fantastic from the start. They had excellent communication and put us at ease straight away. They looked after both our cats with lots of care and we came home to two very happy and content kitties. Mary and Kevin struck the balance just right whilst we were away by keeping us informed of how the cats were and sending pictures of what the cats were up to every couple of days. It was so lovely to know that the cats were enjoying themselves and being so well looked after whilst we were away. Mary and Kevin also looked after our house extremely well and we came back to a very clean and tidy home. We would definitely recommend Mary and Kevin to anyone needing a house sitter and would love for them to sit for us again if they were ever back in the area.
Julia was an amazing sitter and we couldn't be happier with our experience! From our first contact to when we arrived home after our trip, communication was excellent and we were able to enjoy our time away with complete peace of mind that our pets and our home were in good hands. We particularly appreciated how clean and tidy everything was when we got home with the linens and towels all washed and dried! Our cats clearly didn't miss us a bit - they were relaxed, their coats brushed and were giving us side-eye "oh, so, back to normal then? " looks as we unpacked. Thanks for everything Julia!
Sharon and Milton were outstanding sitters and if I could give more than 5 stars I certainly would. Reliable, communicative, helpful, self sufficient and tidy, they took great care of my home. More importantly my cats were lovingly cared for and extremely content when we returned. I highly recommend Sharon and Milton without reservation and hope to have them return in the future.
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!
Great pet sitter - took perfect care of our cat and our home. They were super communicate leading up to and during the sit and left our apartment in great shape. I'd absolutely recommend them to any future sitters!
Joi did a wonderful job caring for my two cats and two guinea pigs, as well as caring for my home! She is coming back in November for a long sit while I am out of the country and we all can’t wait. Joi had experience with rabbits and jumped right in with guinea pig care. She is so calm around them that they were sitting on her lap day one! She spent time preparing their vegetables and kept their enclosure and room clean, which requires daily effort. She even washed the floor mats in their room so it was fresh when I returned home. She went above and beyond sending me daily photos and videos so I could see that everyone was healthy and happy. It was apparent to me that she spent a lot of time with my pets, which is very important so they don’t become stressed and lonely when I am away. Joi also took excellent care of my two cats. They receive daily wet food with some medication and she ensured that they received it on time. My cats barely noticed when I returned because they got so much attention from Joi. She took excellent care of my front garden flowers and my tomato and herb hydroponic gardens. These take some daily attention and time in the summer, and I returned home to them looking great! Joi is a very caring, clean, and thoughtful sitter and I hope she comes back many more times!
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!
Catherine was a wonderful sitter for our 17 year old cat Zabba. She sent us pictures twice a day and kept us informed about Zabba’s daily activities. We came home to a clean home and would definitely recommend her as a pet/ house sitter. My only concern was that she doesn’t drive and with an older cat, I just prayed that Zabba didn’t need to go to the vet…. And he didn’t 🥰. We will ask her again for sure.
We can not exaggerate the care and love Juliet and Laurent gave to our cat, Piero, during his the last few weeks of life. While we left for our trip thinking he merely had a bladder infection, his symptoms turned for the worse a weeks into their sit and later revealed he had cancer. No one would wish their sitter to need to hospice their cat but Juliet and Laurent showed such compassion for Piero and volunteered to be with him when we made the decision to put him down. It was an emotional time for all of us and we will be forever grateful to our two caring cat and house sitters. We have had many fantastic housesitters through zeewoi but Juliet and Laurent top the list. Their professionalism, constant communication and compassion were exceptional. Should you have the opportunity to have them in your home, do not hesitate to book them, you will have no regrets. We do, however, regret that they had such a short time with Piero and had to experience such a painful event.
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!
Excellent kennels!! Couldn’t recommend Liz higher! This was our second year using the kennels and Liz went out of her way to accommodate us last year. Both dogs have left happy and well looked after on both occasions 🐕 …
We had our Barney and Pedro stay with Liz for the first time over the weekend and I am really happy. They were really well looked after and Liz was really responsive to any message I sent while they stayed. I'm a very anxious dog mam and she really put me at ease. Also brilliant value for money. Thanks Liz.
Dropped my 2 dogs off perfect health, in fact they were at the vets the day before for a checkup, perfect health, picked them up after 7 days and were very sick, took them to the vet straight away and Both dogs had respiratory infections, they claim the Kennels are heated but I don't think so, also if the dogs were monitored in the least it would have been obvious they were sick, coughing, sneezing, not eating, not active. I never write bad reviews about anything but I feel compelled to warn others that this is not safe for your animals. Avoid if you care for your dogs/cats.
My 10 month old pup Chida had a weekend here in august. I was nervous letting her off because she has a lot of separation anxiety but Liz did a great job and Chida came back with her tail wagging. I would recommend liz to anyone looking for a kennel.
Good rates. My dog was looked after well, she came back same as we left her. Cant say the same about her soft toys 😄 …
We started using Shoemaker Kennels about 18 months ago. At first, we wondered if our rescue dog would take to the new environment, but our fears were unfounded - he LOVES going to 'Dog Hotel', as we humans call it. He loves going there, and he loves when we collect him, which is as it should be, so it's a it's a win-win situation for everyone. Liz and all her staff are professional, respectful of each dog's individual personality, and 110% trustworthy. We highly recommend Shoemaker Kennels.
They were able to take in my cat Tommy at short notice. Friendly staff, cheap prices and his apartment conditions were very nice.
We stopped leaving our 2 dogs Dolly and Minnie there.. the last couple of times we left then there they came back stinging to the high heavens, I can't describe it other than pure musty or dirty bedding where they must have been laying. Luckily we found Lough Bo kennels where I can't say enough of how highly I recommend them, more expensive than Shoemaker but you get what you pay for and so worth it knowing my dogs are being looked after by real animal lovers and not people are are only in it for the money.
I left my Husky only for 2 days (Thanks God were only 2) because when i picked up the Dog was all wet and full of pee and very smelly,same as his bed. The dog had a very yellow urine as he didn't drink for a while. The lady at the entrance was very rude and not friendly with the Dog,she just pulled the dog till the cage. Not recommended at all. This is a Dogs prison!!!
Lovely local kennels, very helpful staff..our dog (14yrs) was very relaxed upon collection after 1 week.
I booked Kate's wedding package where she brought my dog to the wedding and then brought her home. It was amazing to have our dog there on the wedding day and have photos taken with her. Kate also then minded her for around 10 days while I was on Honeymoon. I knew my dog Laika was well looked after and had a great time. Kate loves animals, is so friendly, easy to deal with, professional and reasonable priced. I would really recommend Kate! :) Thank you so much from Emma Neary and Mark Kelly (and Laika!!) X
My dog daisy is a very nervous rescue dog with a very tramatic past and bad health so I was always nervous going away and leaving daisy However I have used Kate with knock area pet services from the beginning 7 years ago when going anymore to mind daisy. Kate has some very special and loving ability with all animals but especially nervous rescue dogs she is just amazing amazing and so patient with daisy and daisy trusts her and loves going there which shows me how much she loves Kate daisy is a hard dog to win around but Kate did from the very beginning Kate is sllo GODSEND with your dog a home away from home when you can trust your dog will be well cared for and looked after you can start to relax and have a good time knowing that your dog well looked after Thank you Kate for all you do for daisy Highly recommend her
Holy moly, unbelievable. Doggos hadn't been minded in 18 months so they were anxious to stay anywhere else but after the few days, they did not want to come home! Don't even consider anywhere else. This is the best place to leave your pet. Kate so trustworthy and really cares about animals. 10/10
Our doggie always comes back very happy.....no loss on her 🙂. Tom & Christine are very kind and accomodating. …
A great place for the pups to get a break when you go away. Tom and Christine are amazing with the dogs. Our 2 love it here. Very accommodating and very reasonable price. Wouldn't take our dogs anywhere else.
It was First Time we ever left our Dog in Kennels.. I was a bit anxious at first but after meeting Tom and seeing the place for myself I was quite happy to leave her there. Christine was so understanding and gave me updates on how she was getting on ( and even the odd Photo). Would HIGHLY RECOMMEND these Kennels. Very professional and great Service. See u again in Couple of weeks 🐾🐾🐾🐾
Tom & Christine are wonderful caring people, when you leave your pets you know they will be looked after exceptionally well, Dennis
Put our Ted in Dunmuckrum for 2 nights at short notice. Whilst we had separation anxiety Christine had immediately put us at ease. Ted loved it and hardly wanted to come home with us. We are delighted to have found kennels that we have confidence in
Great kennels, our staffy has stayed there a few times now in the past year and is happy when going in and coming home. Tom and Christine are very nice to deal with. We will use them again soon . Thanks 😊
I can leave my little baby girl without any worries. This place is awesome and my Lil doxie loves the owners which gives me peace of mind.
These reasonably priced kennels are in a rural setting just a few miles from Bundoran. Very friendly owners who are really flexible. Clean kennels & our dog seemed very happy going back in after a few hrs out - always a good sign. Would definitely use again if in the area.
I left Kim here and he seemed very happy. I have not used a kennels often as am nervous leaving him as all dog owners must be. I would use these kennels again thank you to Tom and Christine
if you have any affinity for your cats - please think twice - - a very dirty, full of cobwebs & very cold what looks like a disused cow shed with barely any natural light and dogs barking behind a wall... below low standard for cats
