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!
I feel that Julia is simply the best person and pet sitter I could ask for. They really cared for our cat and gave him lots of attention. She is flexible, upbeat, reliable, considerate and great at communicating. I highly recommend Julia and Chris.
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!
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!
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.
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.
Someone was smiling down on us when Kevin and Mary clicked on our very first House Sitter advert. They are straightforward, pleasant, reliable and fun. They kept in touch about their own plans when their flights were delayed. They tactfully left the house when our own cancelled flights meant we were staying a few hours longer than first planned. They sent just the right amount of photos, videos and texts of our cat while we were away! We all loved that. And on our return, oh my word, the house fairies had been to visit! They somehow managed to walk the perfect line between improving everything, without interfering at all. Clean, tidy, replenished. They asked what food we’d like on our return and boy did they deliver! Home made bean stew :-) and different things for the children. Really kind and generous. Communication was clear and also witty..! They dealt with the churn of small mammals our “somewhat independent” cat brought through the flap without complaint. They are a really nice couple, exuding a lovely American warmth and charm. It was a real pleasure, Kevin and Mary, thank you.
Wow! Just wow! We cannot say enough about the care and compassion Trisha and John provided to our cats and our home. We are always somewhat nervous about a new pet sitter in our home, but that all faded when we met this wonderful couple. They provided daily updates as requested, complete with pictures, videos and personalized captions. Upon our return, we were greeted by happy and content kitties. There was no sign of anxiety in Tika! Yea!!! Our home was clean, the sheets and towels were washed and bed remade! They even left behind thank you notes and little gifts! What a breath of fresh air these two individuals are! We hope to have them back again soon.
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!
Rick and Sally are marvelous cat sitters and we would gladly have them back anytime. We highly recommend them to any and all pet owners. They arrived when they said they would and were ready to go when we returned, making sure our cats were present before departing. Our home was left spotless, undoubtedly better than we left it for them. We can't urge you enough to engage them if you can!
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!
Jonathan is absolutely amazing with Daisy , she goes in and doesn't even look back , frequent updates videos and pics , thank you
I have used Jonathan's dog minding services several times. We were very nervous to leave our puppy (who was 6 months old the first time) with a dog minder but Jonathan was great. We did a meet and greet a few weeks beforehand and it was obvious Jonathan genuinely loves dogs and our puppy was going to be in safe and experienced hands. Jonathan is really responsive and always kept us updated with photos and videos. I have referred Jonathan to my friends and family several times. He's brilliant.
Can't recommend Jonathan and Puppers Paradise enough. Going to doggie daycare with him has really helped our rescue gain confidence and get comfortable around other dogs. Jonathan is patient, reliable and flexible and an excellent communicator even sending through lovely videos of our dog playing with his new friends. The best thing is you can tell that he really cares about the dogs he minds
From the very 1st time that Pablo (mini dachshund puppy) went to Jonathan’s home for Daycare, he was completely at ease. It was very clear from conversation with Jonathan that he has an abundance of knowledge & a genuine passion for dogs. He has sent me videos at intervals throughout the day of Pablo at play with the other dogs & it was very obvious that Pablo was having a really great time! Pablo has been in Jonathan’s care quite a number of times to date & he is always very relaxed & happy when I collect him.
Bruno had his first night away from us at Puppers Paradise with Jonathan. A home from home environment. We received photos and video updates of the fun Bruno was having with all the dogs which was very reassuring to us. We were truly able to relax knowing he was in Jonathan's care.
My dog has been going here for years. She loves Jonathan and he brings out the best in her. It"s a home from home for her. I much prefer Pupper's Paradise to other kennels that I have used over the years because my dog is so well treated here. I have no hesitation in recommending this business.
Jonathan is one of the very few people that I would trust my dogs with. He has minded them for me on numerous occasions and they always have a great time.
Thanks Aoife!
Shauna has been minding our Miniature Daschund, Luna for the last couple of years. Luna is prone to separation anxiety which is always a worry when we have to leave her, however since Shauna has been taking her she is a different dog!! You know Luna enjoys her time there when she doesn’t want to come home. Shauna has always been very flexible and accommodating for us and we honestly couldn’t think of a better person to mind Luna when we’re away. I can’t recommend Shauna enough.
Shauna, has been walking dogs for the last couple years. She is very reliable and trustworthy. She is so good with our dogs, she treat them as if they were her own dogs. I couldn’t recommend Shauna enough. Amazing!!!!
I could not recommend Shauna enough to look after your fur babies! Her love and care is outstanding! She treats every dog as if it were her own. She forms bonds with the pets she looks after and walks, which is exactly what any pawrent looks for when they trust someone with their baby! She has an extensive range of knowledge in so many areas when it comes to dogs. If you are doubting booking Shauna, don’t. She is one of best, and one of the VERY VERY few people I’d ever trust with my little girl 🐾🤍🖤
Shauna helped us with our 2-year-old terrier, and we are thrilled with the results. She was able to help us with things that were new to both me and my partner. Shauna is passionate about what she does, and I highly recommend her to anyone in need of dog training.
Highly recommend Fetch n Frolic. Had my cats minded for 3 nights. Shauna stayed in the house and was brilliant with them, she sent updated photos and videos regularly. I will definitely be booking in again for next time I'm away from home. The cats took to her right away. Very professional and friendly
Shauna helped us deal with our high energy beagle. She was very professional and knowledgeable, understood that we didn’t need generic tips but a more personalised approach.
I don't know who's more excited to see who during visits, our pup Ralphy to see Shauna or Shauna to see Ralphy. She's great with our high energy pup and he loves his walks with her!!!!
Shauna is so obliging, and my dog absolutely loves her!
Super knowledgeable & passionate, a gem to the dog world.
Chewy is our little Chihuahua and with us travelling often, there is no better care than Rose and the team from Outpaws. They give him love and cuddles just the way he likes it. We are so grateful for them, looking after Chewy as if he is their own. Thank you girls, it is always a pleasure making use of your services..and thank you for loving Chewy…🐶
Laoise and the Outpaws team have walked our dog Ted several times when we have been on holiday as he has been staying with family in the area that they cover. They have always been so accommodating of dates and times and his stubborn ways! We really appreciate the updates and photos they give from his walks so that we can see how he is while we’re away. He’s always delighted and well cared for. I wish we lived closer so that we could use them for regular walks but look forward to using them again next time we are away.
Our dogs love OUTPAWS!!! We’ve had the pleasure of Rose and Georgia looking after them over the past two years, on separate occasions, and the peace of mind it has given us has been enormous. We’ve been able to go on holidays knowing they are getting superb care, attention and stimulation. We took great comfort from our initial conversations with Laoise, where we immediately knew we’d connected with someone we would trust with the most precious members of the family. Our subsequent meetings with Rose and Georgia confirmed our instincts that this is not only a highly professional business but is a business where the doggies are front and centre of all aspects of the fantastic service provided. We have no hesitation in recommending Laoise and her wonderful team to anyone who needs someone to move into their home to look after their doggies. And the doggies endorse this with their top paw marks too.
Moved to Ireland back in October and found Laoise and her team. Can't say enough good things about them! Remy doesn't do well with kennels, so having someone come stay at the house with him was very appealing. Best idea ever! Georgia has stayed with him twice now; both times for a week. We can really tell she loves animals and Remy obviously enjoys spending time with her. What I appreciate the most are the videos and pics we receive multiple times a day showing Remy living his best life on walks, playing ball, or napping because he's worn out from all the walks and ball. Remy is cherished member of our family and it warms my heart to be able to leave him with someone that shows him as much love as we do!
We had a fantastic experience with OUTPAWS a few weeks ago. Our dog Bailey was minded by the lovely Georgia for a week while we were away. We met Georgia in advance and she was very friendly and clearly experienced in minding animals. We felt very safe and secure with her minding Bailey and got lots of great updates throughout the week. Bailey looked happy and was brought on lots of walks. We will definitely be using OUTPAWS again. I would highly recommend them to anyone.
Louise runs a very supportive, caring business for dog owners and her amazing team. We have contacted Louise on four occasions in the last 7 months and each time has been a great success, Noodles is cared for in her own surroundings and we are sent daily reports of Noodles walks, including cuddle time - all of the team are studying veterinary care so we also feel secure knowing that she is cared for by genuine animal lovers. Louise is incredibly efficient and makes arrangement by WhatsApp and payment easy - we would be lost without them!
Laoise is the most capable and loving dog walker we’ve ever used. Our vizsla Amber rushes to the door when she hears her car pull up and is buzzing with excitement trying to tell us about her run and swim when she comes back and soon flops on the couch from tiredness. Laoise has made our move to Dublin a few years ago manageable by helping us with Amber.
Thanks for all your hard work and patience with Kobe! He adores you all and we are definitely reaping the benefits of all the hard work you guys put into making him a better pup! Amazing service and we look forward to working with you next year
We've been using Outpaws for a few months now and I am delighted with the service. Laoise and the team are really professional and easy to work with. We confirm our walking schedule each Sunday, which gives me the flexibility I need with my new hybrid work schedule. Communication is great, so we know who is coming when, and I get photos throughout Pudding's play in the park. I feel like the team care about my pup as much as I do, and trust them to take care of her during her hour-long outing. She comes home happy and tired, ready to nap through my afternoon Zoom calls. This has made the return to the office so much easier for me, as I know Pudds is having a great day even when I'm gone and she's a much easier office-mate when I'm WFH. Her schedule isn't disrupted no matter what my work day looks like thanks to the Outpaws team.
Nemo has been with laoise 4 years …. She is so kind and Nemo loves going there. We would be lost without her … she treats Nemo as her own …. Thank you orla and Nemo
We have been using pet sitters for the past 5 months or so a few times a week and they have been brilliant. Jessica our main sitter is outstanding and really looks after the dogs so well. We had an issue this week whilst on holidays abroad. A family member suddenly was unable to mind our pets and this happened while we were away. We rang Mike and he immediately at no notice at all sorted a live in sitter for the last few days of our holiday. James came to the house and took over and we couldn’t be happier with the care he gave. We are so grateful for this wonderful service. We would be lost without Mike and his team 🙌🙌
An absolutely brilliant service. Mike was very professional and thorough when looking after my 2 cats during my time away. From the very first "meet and greet" session, all my previous concerns disappeared. I really appreciated the daily photos and updates as well, a complete peace of mind from start to finish. Honestly cannot recommend them enough, superb job from the whole team. - Alex P.S. Alisa and Luna say hi
Amazing service! We had Valeria staying with our three dogs for just over a week and she treated them so well. They were really happy and relaxed when we came home after our trip. She communicated any concerns with us and sent us regular updates! We will be using this service again in the future. It's a great feeling knowing your pets are taken care of while you're not home.
I was nervous of the idea of using a Petsitter as we have typically relied on family previously. From the initial enquiry call from Mike, I was instantly relieved we had another option for our two dogs, one being reactive, kennels just isn’t an option. From the initial video call with our sitter, Chrissy, to get to know her, we knew our dogs were in really safe and capable hands. From the moment she walked in the door our dogs liked her. She took the time to ask about their habits and routines and what they liked. Sending photos and updates several times throughout the weekend where they looked lovely and relaxed. As a bonus our house was also looked after while we were gone. We couldn’t recommend this service enough and Chrissy for being brilliant! 100% recommend and will be using again, thank you for taking care of Scout and Pepper!
Very happy with the service we received. Davi the sitter kept in contact with us throughout the 9 days. Cats looked happy, healthy and importantly relaxed on our return. Davi sent us videos so we could see them and see that they were relaxed while we were away. This was our first time using Pet Sitters Ireland and we will definitely book again when the need arises. A real sense of relief to know out beloved pets are safe and in good hands.
Amazing service! Our little dachshund Daphne is nervous of strangers so we were extremely anxious to leave her while we got married. Michael the owner is so lovely and friendly, he really put us at ease and arranged everything for us. Daphne stayed with Paul & Jane who looked after her like she was their own dog. She settled in so well with Paul & Jane, it shows how gentle and caring they are towards animals. We got regular updates and they even travelled to our wedding ceremony so Daphne could be part of the day. It was so wonderful to have her there. We cannot thank you all enough for everything you have done for us and Daphne. We wouldn't hesitate to leave Daphne in your care again. We will be highly recommending you to everyone we know.
I had a wonderful pet sitter called Emilia. She was absolutely fantastic so kind to my cat Ozzie. She did an amazing job and is a credit to the company. In the run up to organising my trip the owner Mike and anyone I spoke to in the office were so nice and helpful. I am always nervous to leave my cat as he is an older cat but I wouldn’t trust him with anyone else. I got updates and photos and felt totally at ease that he had the best care. Great service Great people ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Highly recommend using pet sitters. They are very professional and responsible. Furthermore the open communication is excellent . I felt very comfortable leaving my two rescue dogs in their care. The pictures and updates were wonderful to receive. Thank you so much for the incredible service you and your team provide.
My dachshund Danann took part in the Nose of Tralee 2024 as the Kildare Nose and it’s been the most fun experience! Kate from Pet Sitters is a pleasure to work with and sent us out some lovely treats and a beautiful sash for Danann to campaign in! We had so much fun making videos, taking pictures and writing up a blog for Danann during and in the run up to the final of the competition! Kate kept the excitement and going for all of the Noses from beginning to end of the process! We had so much craic and would definitely recommend that our dog/cat loving pals apply next year!
Would strongly discourage using this service. I had a ‘meet and greet’ with a sitter who was booked to come and look after my pet. I didn’t hear from her on the day she was supposed to come nor was a pet care journal entry completed. I text to see if she had any issues and received no response. On the following day she contacted me directly to ask if her boyfriend could use my parking space when ‘they’ came over to walk my dog. I asked her again how was he previous visit as I hadn’t heard anything. She proceeds to tell me she never came because she had to go away and gave me the name of the girl who came in her place. I was not informed by anybody at the company that a stranger I had never met had been given the key code and access to my property. They had gone in and taken my dog out without me knowing and ever having met him. They had no instructions as to what he needs, where his lead etc. And food were. It was absolutely horrendous to think of a stranger entering your home and taking your dog out without your permission, never mind how stressful this would be for the dog. The manager eventually ‘text’ me an apology and said he had not thought to inform me that the sitter I had paid for was not available and he had supplied access instructions to another person without my knowledge/consent. I would not trust this service again. Have had to change my door code as I have no idea how many people know my access details now.
Fiona made everything seemless and easy from the first phonecall. She is an absolute pleasure to deal with and apart from her fabulous manner with people and dogs she is so skilled and fantastic at what she does. My dogs were so engrossed with Fiona we were able to see fantastic results by the end of the first session. Fiona is prompt at coming back to you and shows up on time and sends on clear and comprehensive instructions. After the first session she was kind enough to send on helpful notes and resources and videos. I cannot recommend Fiona highly enough. Thank you.
Not reliable. Poor communication. Sent few emails, few weeks ago requesting dog service, I then received a reply few days later asking for more info about my dog. I then replied straight away but never received any response since then. I sent a couple of more emails after that, asking for an update but got complete ignored. I don't expect the service to be available for me but I would like to at least receive a response, so I can look somewhere else. I wouldn't trust leaving my dog with this company/person, due to the lack/poor communication.
Super service. Fiona came to the house and in no time had my French Bulldog doing things we struggled to do. Everything is explained in detail and we were given a total different route to training Larry and he picks up instructions now almost instantly. Fiona has made the next steps in training Larry so much clearer, quicker and easier. Excellent job I’d give more than 5 stars if I could.
Lovely experience for pet and owner. Plenty of homework. Fiona has fanastic knowledge but keeps her training skills simple and practical. Lovely lady.
Amazing lady that helped me out at short notice with Lily as I was let down by another agency. Would highly recommend. Fiona kept me updated every evening as to how Lily was getting on.
Fiona is amazing, we would be lost without her. Highly recommend.
I would highly recommend All 4paws to anyone that is looking for a professional trainer. Gained some great knowledge. Fantastic service allround.
Our dog Mia stayed with Adrian for 2 weeks. She is home almost 2 wks. She came home a fit and happy dog. Adrian sent me photos and didn't mind keeping me up to date on Mia's stay with him. He collected and delivered Mia home. He's a very nice and interesting person and has a great understanding of dogs which is assuring. He's extremely punctual. We hope to have Mia stay with Adrian again soon.
Great service!!! Adrian looked after my golden doodle for 9 days and I was completely at ease the whole time. We were kept up to date with pictures and how my dog was getting on. I would highly recommend!! Thanks Adrian
Thank you so much for looking after my 2 little Maltese so well. They were beautifully groomed on their return to me and I was very happy with the care they received. I can highly recommend Little Delights pet boarding.
I highly recommend Little Delights for pet boarding. My dog Bella gets so excited everytime she sees Adrian! We really enjoy the at home boarding as our dog does much better in a home environment. He provides updates and photos which is so helpful for my peace of mind while away. From the moment we met Adrian at the complimentary meet and greet prior to her first stay I could tell she would be in good hands. You can tell he has an extensive knowledge of dogs and truly cares about their comfort and well being. The collection and drop off service is always prompt and very handy for organizing around travel. If you are looking for somewhere to board your dog in a home setting or someone to care for your animal Little Delights is a fantastic option!
I recently contacted Adrian for dog boarding. We had a meet and greet. Adrian is a lovely man and shows true passion for dogs/animals. Our dog Hugo stayed for 9 days with Adrian, I received photos and updates on Hugo while on holiday. This gave me peace of mind. I came home to a very happy boy. I highly recommend Adrian.. I am so happy that I have found someone I can trust to take care of my dog.
I left my dog and cat in Adrian’s care and he did a wonderful job looking after them both. The dog stayed with him while the cat remained at home. I was very happy with the updates and service and the animals were very well cared for. I would have no hesitation in recommending Adrian to mind your fur babies
Adrian has been looking after my 2 cats for the last few years. He gives such a fantastic service and it is great peace of mind knowing they are well looked after when I am away. He sends a text after his visit so I know they have been fed and everything is ok. I recommend Adrian and Little Delights if you are looking for a pet sitter!
Adrian provides an absolutely fantastic service, he is reliable and is so great with our dog, so great in fact she gets so excited when Adrian collects her! We have been using Adrian since we got our dog during covid, it’s very refreshing to know our dog is being looked after with such care when we are away. I could not recommend Adrian enough.
Adrian is excellent! He's been minding our pets for several years now and both our cat and dog are very comfortable with him. He's reliable and very trustworthy. We highly recommend Little Delights pet sitting and dog walking services.
I have been a client of Little Delights for 10 years and can highly recommend Adrian, the owner of the company. He is utterly reliable, trustworthy, he has a natural affinity with animals and has been a trusted minder of my little dog for 10 years. I would recommend Adrian without hesitation.
I was here for a corporate volunteer event. The grounds are lovely and I took three larger dogs for a walk, one at a time. All animals are well cared for. If I was ever to foster adopt a dog or a cat I would come to DSPCA.
This just popped up in my Google reviews so I’ll give it 5 star ⭐️ 😊 The little Pup cakes 🧁🥰 very cute. Cafe closed on Mondays. Great scenery. Plenty of car spaces too. My dog loves going here once a week to the cafe and walking around the area. Very peaceful too. …
My dog, Loki, loves his stays at the DSPCA Pet Hotel. The facilities are clean and spacious. The staff are trustworthy and reliable. They always take excellent care and ensure he gets plenty of walks and attention. There's a vet nearby, just in case anything ever goes wrong. I'm always reassured that my dog is safe and in good hands here.
They ask lots of questions so that everything goes smoothly. You need to bring your pets food for their entire stay. And you need to show proof of vaccines too. Everything is clean and well maintained. They’re good at marketing and will have you buying your pet treats in the reception area.
My visit to DSPCA for corporate event was exceptional. Spending time with the dogs was incredibly rewarding and inspired by Organization's dedication to animal welfare. I had a great time.
Our dog stayed with the Pet Hotel for 3 nights and 4 days. He is a bit introverted, very shy with new people and a bit anxious to say the least so we were anxious about his stay with anyone who wasn't a family member or friend of ours that he knows. He got on great overall and looked like he was enjoying his 1 on 1 time from photos we got. We requested updates on his stay and photos and the staff were great to get some lovely photo album worthy photos and they asked for tips to get him to eat all his food as he would tend to not eat it all when he is out of his normal routine. Noteworthy he has allergies and takes a tablet for those also daily. Overall we are happy he was well looked after by experienced professional and kind staff and of course that there are vets on site if any issues. I was overly anxious to leave our fur baby anywhere else to be honest except the DSCPA. I volunteered with their shelter dog section one time and was so impressed with the volunteers and their passion, love and care for all the doggies seeking homes. Will definitely use the pet hotel again in future!
Fabulous place, Bella was looked after so well. She loves it there! Staff are so good with her.
DO NOT LEAVE YOUR DOGS HERE!! We left our fur babies, Daisy and Dug in the DSPCA pet hotel for the weekend of our wedding because we thought we were paying for the best place possible and wouldn’t need to worry- how wrong we were. Throughout their stay we asked for pictures but received none which raised some concerns. When we picked them up we were told there were no issues whatsoever and they had a great time. Upon getting them in the car, we noticed Dug’s eye was filled with blood. Then when we got home we saw cuts/grazes on both Daisy and Dug’s elbows. We took them to the vet for treatment and they said it looked like they scratched against something. When we contacted the hotel, they proceeded to tell us they didn’t know when it happened and tried to blame the dogs by saying they played very rough together. Two dogs that live together all their lives and play every single day without issue. They are very clearly neglecting the dogs that are in their care if they can’t even notice when they are physically injured. We will never be leaving our dogs with them again and would discourage anyone who is considering leaving their dogs here.
Would like to thank everyone at the DSPCA per hotel for looking after our fur baby while we were on holiday. She enjoyed her stay at the hotel. It was great peace of mind to know that she was in safe hands while we were away. 😊 …
Great staff. Dogs have plenty to do all day long and are well looked after. My dog loves it! A huge benefit of this pet day care is the fact there is no need to book the space in advance, and they are open 7am - 7pm, which is very convenient in case of last minutes arrangements.
Meow Care is just fabulous! From the first point of contact with Alice to the actual minding of my 2 Devon Rex cats they were fantastic. Andrea came every day and knew exactly how to handle our reserved cats…the photos and videos were fantastic and I got to see how my 2 girls went from not wanting to engage on day one to getting better and better with Andrea each day (it didn’t take long, day 2 they were coming up and being more open to knowing her which is a testament to her knowledge of cats and I could tell they missed her when I came home). I couldn’t be happier with the service and with the absolutely fantastic care Meow Care and Andrea gave.
I would like to share the experience that my partner and me had with Maow Care and strongly not recommend using this service if you really want a trustworthy person or service to take care if your cat. We went on vacation and hired the service and got assigned our cat sitter, everything looked normal at the beginning. Right after we landed the plane, we had the first message from our sitter saying that we had an alarm beeping on our house. We were concerned as the sitter told us that we could have neighbors upset by the noise, so we asked her about it and got any response. I am from Spain and my partner parents live on Cork and other trusted contacts we have didn’t have the keys of the apartment. We left emergency contacts for our sitter that she didn’t use, we tried to arrange some or our contacts on the city to check the alarm noise with the cat sitter and she didn’t response as well. We got any notice until next day after more of 24 hours, when she said she was going late to visit our cat, which was after 9PM, which is also a weird time to visit a cat. We tried to call the sitter to have more information about the alarm noise and to try to help her to find the issue and fix it, but she didn’t response the call or gave us any information. As a consequence, we had to book a flight back as we were very worried about our cat and the neighbors. Next day, my partner messaged the sitter to ask her to let the keys on the table because we were comming back at evening. She responded that basically, our cat didn’t look affected by the noise and seemed to be OK. After we came back to our apartment, we found out that was a lie. Our cat vomited and defecated out of her litter, thing that she never has done before, she looked thiner, extremely tired and a bit sick, we assumed it was consequence of the noise. We discovered that the alarm had an issue that was causing a constant high frequency beep every 10 seconds. We had to cancel our holidays, lost a lot of money and on top of that, we were told our cat was Ok when she clearly was not, for a problem that could have been fixed very easily in 10 seconds, the time it took us to de-attach the alarm and move the back switch to “off” I encourage that if other people has had similar problems with Maow Care, please speak out and also give diffusion of our case. We had pictures of conversations and situation when we came back and we’ll study taking more actions as the solution they gave us was, the incredible opportunity the enjoy their “great” services for free, we couldn’t even had our money back from this terrible experience that I wouldn’t recommend to even my worst enemy. #maowcare #cathealth #catsittingservice #catsitter #ireland #dublin
Alice is very knowledgeable and very dedicated to cats. She can also help with any cat behaviour questions. Her cat sitting service in Dublin has been there for a long time and only gets busier.
Highly recommended Maow Care. Alice was so accommodating for us and made everything stress free for us and our cat. Our cat (who is quite nervous and anxious) loved our cat sitter and provided updates to us each day and made her feel so comfortable. Would happily recommend to anyone looking for a sitter.
Very happy with the service. Amazing contact with Alice and our cat sitter, I really liked the daily Whatsapp updates. I felt that people working at Maow Care are passionate about cats and know how to take care of them.
Maow care offers a wonderful service that makes it possible for our cats to stay at home when we go away. We know that we are leaving our pets in the best hands as Alice and her team have all the logistics (key-hand over, feeding schedule, emergency contacts, etc) carefully worked out, they keep in touch regularly, and most important of all, are real cat-lovers themselves. And with two cats, the price is lower than what a cattery would charge.
Maow Care provides an exceptional service. Alice is a cat whisperer and she brings the very highest standards of professionalism, knowledge, generosity, and sincere care to all that she does. She is continually researching and learning, and passes this learning on to her clients formally through her excellent courses, and also informally through advice and support. We will always be grateful that we found Alice and Maow Care.
Truly professional service from start to finish. Alice is an amazing resource for all things feline. Caring and pragmatic, she runs other cat focused programs, Pet first aid Courses and the Dublin Cat Fair. Always 100% reliable and trustworthy.
I've trusted Alice and Janette from Maowcare with minding our cats for over 3 yrs now (having had a bad experience with a well meaning but inexperienced neighbour before that) I can relax knowing they're professionally looked after by people who love and understand cats. They play with them, make sure litter is all clean, feed as per instructions and I get a daily whatsapp update with lots of great pics! (they even water our plants!) They're the best, trusted professionals. I'd be lost without them 😻
Trustworthy, reliable, dependable cat sitter who is very serious about the service she provides. Willing to go the extra mile. Flexible and always able to accommodate any special requests I may have. Doesn't only feed and water the cat, but always plays and interacts with your furry friend while you are away, because good cat care is more than just food.
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.
