"A relaxing and long time away from home made possible by the best pet & house sitters we could have asked for!" Judy and Steph went the extra mile over their entire one month stay at our home. Both our cats became fast friends thanks to the care and dedication provided for them. We were routinely updated with spectacular photos of our furry girls throughout our leave that helped us be anxiety-free the entire time. Even our older shy cat spent time sleeping on their laps or hanging out on shoulders. As for the house, Judy and Steph left it even cleaner than when they arrived! We had a few tasks to maintain the lawn and potted plants outside, which were completed perfectly. They even tended to our vegetable garden where needed! During a 'risk of severe hail storm' alert, Judy and Steph kept us in the loop and went even further to place potted plants under shelter out of harms way. In summary, we recommend Judy and Steph and would happily have them return again if our schedules cross paths.
Hilary was a fantastic pet sitter for our cat - you would be so lucky to have her care for your pet and home. She took exceptional care of her and our home. Hilary played so much with her and took the best care. She was communicative, easy to coordinate with, and left everything super clean for us when we came back. Five stars is understating how extraordinary she was - we cannot recommend her enough!!
Florence and Robert were outstanding sitters. We asked them to arrive a day early as our guests to learn the routine on our farm. In getting to know them we found them to be good hearted, down to earth people with a love of animals and diligent in learning our routines to care for our poultry, cats and dog as well as our garden and orchard. Not a typical or easy sit. We travelled with ease knowing our critters were being well taken care of. Arriving home, the house was very clean and looked well cared for. The animals were healthy as were the garden and orchard. Out pets missed them when they left – our dog stared down the driveway after them until their car was out of sight. It is nice to find sitters we would like to hang out with and we look forward to having them sit for us again.
Chris was an outstanding pet sitter and I would definitely use him again! He is reliable, responsible, and thorough. I was able to FaceTime Chris prior to the sit and he spent a lot of time answering and asking questions. I felt confident after speaking with him. Throughout the weekend, Chris communicated clearly through texting. He let me know when he arrived and left which was helpful. He also sent photos and updates of both my cats. My boy cat has occasional anxiety issues which cause UTI's. Andy had a flare up while I was away and Chris was very attentive to him and let me know how he was doing. Chris did not seem to mind taking extra care of him which I very much appreciate. Chris left my house clean and even washed the sheets and towels he used before leaving!
We are thoroughly pleased with and impressed by Daniel's kind, generous, and careful care of our cat and our house. He is a committed and experienced sitter who completely understands his role and responsibilities and also how to gently win the confidence and affection of a pet. He is an excellent communicator, and he kept us regularly up to date on our cat's well being--sending us texts and photos at least once/week as we requested. Our cat who is a little afraid of new people, grew fond of him, and we have returned to a very calm, contented cat. We highly recommend Daniel, and we ourselves would be thrilled to engage him again when the need arises.
Kathryn was a wonderful sitter for Princessa! She was flexible and communicative and took great care of my cat and home.
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!
Chris was a fantastic cat sitter for our elderly and high maintenance kitty. Chris was the perfect combination of responsible and on top of her medication needs while also being calm and relaxed about her picky eating habits and the need to monitor her food and medication consumption. He was prompt, easy to get a hold of, responsible, and overall, a great sitter. I would definitely recommend him and most certainly hope to have him stay with her again.
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.
Kristi was an exceptional house / pet sitter and we appreciate her being so flexible as were not sure how long our vacation was going to be. She was prompt, courteous, and even drove up the weekend before to meet with us. She took great care of our house and our dog snd cats loved her. I would highly recommended her.
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!
Left our dog with Martin and his team. 5 stars is not enough. Martin and the team are extremely dedicated to their work of looking after dogs. Highly recommend 'The Good Life Boarding Kennels'. 10 out 10 👍 …
We booked our dog Poppy with The Good Life Kennels for one night at short notice. We arrived to drop her off and we were very impressed with the set up there. Plenty of space for each dog and we could tell that Martin the owner has a real love for dogs. We checked into the Facebook page later that night and saw pictures of Poppy being taken out for a walk with the other dogs so the kids were happy out! Wouldn't hesitate in recommending The Good Life Boarding Kennels to anyone!
Have used the Goodlife boarding kennels a few times now, and what more can I say other than 5 🌟. Staff are very professional and have always focused on the welfare of our pet first as well as updating us with photos of walks ensuring us that our dog/pet is in good hands and being well cared for. I highly recommend The Goodlife Boarding Kennels. Thanks for always accommodating us and taking great care of Shadow when she visits. Top class 👏
We brought our 10 month old golden retriever here to the Good Life boarding kennels outside mullingar last week to stay for a number of days. I have to say It was pleasure dealing with Martin and his great staff. Our Indy was taken care of brilliantly as we could see his daily walks uploaded to facebook. Martin is clearly an expert in his field when you speak to him and you know he cares for the dogs he minds. I would have no hesitation in leaving Indy here again for a few days and I would encourage anybody else who needs this service to choose the Good Life boarding kennels. You will be able to rest easy in the knowledge your dog will be happy, comfortable and safe for their stay.
Great experience with Martin. He is great at what he does.
The only place I feel comfortable leaving Nonu. Martin really cares about the animals and their welfare. He understands them so well and how to put them at ease when you drop them off. They even put photos up on their fb page incase you miss your fur baby while you're away. Excellent Kennels
Excellent from beginning to end. They post photos of your dog on their Facebook page so you can them enjoying their walks as you enjoy your holiday. Perfect
We left our 3 beloved dogs (2 Springers and 1 Westie) at the Good Life Boarding Kennels near Mullingar for 12 nights. Yesterday evening we collected them and we were absolutely delighted with their condition and demeanour! They looked happy, fit and clean and while overjoyed to see us, were perfectly happy to stay close to Martin, the owner of the kennels, who is so professional and caring. Our 3 had a larger kennel to themselves and that meant they could be together, which reassured us a great deal. Martin feeds them wholesome food and they have 2 daily walks -- not every kennels does that. We will use Martin's services again and would recommend him very highly. Thanks also to Matteo and Natalie for their care ♡♡
Definately a five star rating for this boarding kennels. Your pet will feel at home immediately here, the kennels are pristine and all yours dogs individual needs are taken care of from feeding to walking and any special requirements needed. Martin the kennel owner makes you feel at ease the minute you arrive and he has an amazing approach with dogs big and small alike.You can tell he is passionate about his work.I highly recommend these kennels....try it out you will be highly impressed.
I have to say the dedication and commitment to the dogs is over and above the commitment and communication is fantastic and the love for animals is so visible from your enter I highly recommend the kennels to anyone who needs a safe loving and caring environment thank you so much for the care you give to jackson
Leaving my dogs with Martin for over 15 years. Wouldn't leave then anywhere else. Close to Mullingar Town, good value and my dogs have always been excited when they go in. Never had an issue and Martin is a gentleman and a pleasure to deal with.
Excellent kennels, kindly professionally run..I always leave my three dogs there.Two confident little dogs, and one very shy dog, they are always pleased to see Martin which I take as their stamp of approval!
Not clean at all , and not feeding properly as my dog lost almost 2kg in 1 week sitting there Got my dog back today in a disgraceful condition, stinky and dirty Martin try to fix the situation giving a discount for next time ... Well , this won't happen. Highly don't recommend this
All this reviews are fake or left by his friends. Do not trust this man , your dog will not beein look after He didn't feed our dog Never sent us a photo with him in a week This is a shame and an awful experience. Poor condition to keep a dog
Martin is a real gentleman. Reasonable price. Your dog is very well looked after.
Great Value, Hexe seemed happy and well looked after. Martin asking for details on vaccinations and his booking process made it all feel very professional. Recommended.
Great kennels I wouldn't leave my dogs anywhere else Martin is a great guy very friendly and looks after every dog as if it's his own
Very good kennels great value for money, left my staffy here for a week, no issues.
Martin is a gentleman and the dogs always love staying.
Brilliant kennels for your pet ...well looked after while you re away
Highly recommend Stephanie. For Day care / overnight / dog walks. Such a lovely kind, caring & trustworthy person. Her house is “home from home” which is what our dogs are used to. She took our dogs on lots of adventures during their stay. We have our dogs booked in again for their next sleepover. 🐶🐾🐾🐾🐾 …
Couldn't recommend Stephanie highly enough. She's been taking our dog Yola out to get her used to other dogs and to socialise. Yola watches at the window for Stephanie's car and the excitement is real, spinning in circles, she just can't wait to go. A big change in only a few weeks.
I initially contacted Stephanie to help with walking my big labrador puppy as he was pulling a lot on lead. She helped me a lot with regards walking him but she also helped a lot with issues within the house and this helped getting him to calm down and overall a much happier dog and family. She gave good tips and things that were easy achievable for myself. She is a kind and very patient person and bailey loved her. Would highly recommend to anybody.
Can't recommend enough, Rufus comes home happy and exhausted and Stephanie always takes the most amazing photos for us during his walk/stay with her.
Stephanie has been absolutely amazing. We adopted a dog who had very little socialisation in her previous home. She was extremely reactive to people and other dogs. The improvement in Mabel since she started working with Stephanie is unbelievable! I struggled to bring Mabel on a short walk without my arms being pulled off me and being worried about her trying to go for other dogs. Now we can enjoy our walks - Mabel is well behaved on the lead, has no issues meeting people and has gone on group walks with other dogs in the forest. Stephanie has a wonderful way with dogs and has thought us so much about dog training! She has the patience of a saint and is so dedicated to helping Mabel get used to other dogs. I am very grateful to Stephanie for all her help with Mabel 🥰
The very first walk was an anxious one for our pup who barked at and backed away from Stephanie. Stephanie was so patient and comforting towards Sadie and now they are the best of pals. Sadie knows Stephanie’s car and waits patiently on the windowsill for her to arrive 🐾. Stephanie’s love of dogs shines through and she treats them all like her own. She is so accommodating and the pack walks have definitely helped our pup. We will be with Stephanie for a long while yet.
Stephanie is amazing! She has a huge amount of patience and works with each dog to ensure they get everything they need and want out of a walk. And for boarding, she really makes your dog feel they are part of her family! I can't recommend Stephanie enough, if you are working all day, Stephanie is there to make sure your dog gets out and has some company during the day
Stephanie really provides a 5 star service. Riley really loves going and he is certainly part of the pack both human and dogs when there. He has grown in confidence and so have I specially with the support and advice from Step when it comes to walking of the lead and recall for example.
Could not recommend Steph enough she has such a beautiful way with dogs & they love her too. We didn't really have a clue when we 1st got Daisy & Steph is such a great help with her & knew all her little ways so quick! Daisy does be so excited to see her car coming & is so relaxed now around other dogs, I get beautiful photos & updates when Daisy goes with Steph..its like a doggy day care & they all absolutely love it 😀 💗
Steph is a true professional and so accommodating both our dogs are so comfortable with her. Steph is so willing to share tips around training and it is really paying off with our pup. Steph has also taught our youngest daughter tips on training which is proving to be invaluable and she is really enjoying training our dogs. We would highly recommend Steph and All about dogs 🐕🦺🐾
The service provided was above and beyond. I was so nervous leaving my dog but my mind was put to rest with the regular updates.
Thanks Laura!
