"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.
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.
Toby and Chloe were amazing pet sitters. It wasn’t the easiest sit - a nervous dog and 3 cats with various ailments and medication to have, but they took it all in their stride and cared for them so well without any issues. Our nervous dog Zelda warmed to them in just 2 days which is a record for house sitters so far! I also really enjoyed getting to know them over dinner the night before I left, they’re very easygoing and positive people. They also left the house spotless for when I came back. I would love to have them sit for us again. You can rest assured your house and animals are in safe hands with this lovely pair!
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.
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.
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.
Jenima is an excellent sitter! She is organized, communicative and flexible throughout the stay. We needed a sitter at the last minute because Jazz got sick, and Jenima saved us. We left a little worried about him, but Jenima took care of him really well and kept us informed. Cats love her! We definitely recommend her to take care of your pets!
Amazing sitters - I feel so fortunate to have had them stay. Chapeau was treated to daily walks and belly rubs, and my cat Tica was overflowing with contentment from having been taken care of so well. The house was cleaner than I left it and I was treated to a nice note and a lovely candle upon my return. Also, they left a checklist of item that they had done while here. Truly above and beyond!
Danny and Jo did a great job caring for our 3 cats and fish AND lots of plants (and home of course) while we were out of town for 3 weeks. We came back to a very clean house, sheets, and towels all clean and folded and fresh sheets on the bed they were using. The plants were all alive too, which is a first for us (again, we have a lot of plants!). The cats were happy to see us and they were all accounted for (a past sitter lost a cat for a week - they escaped outside as a non-outside cat). Everything was in its place and looked great. We received regular updates (via text) with photos of the cats lounging about which was important for us. Danny asked good questions when they visited us before the sit, and when reviewing our pet/house sitting instructions. The only thing we noticed that was different was that our 2 young cats were a little lighter (not necessarily a bad thing) but we understand that being gone for that length of time can be stressful on our furry family, which almost always affects their eating habits. All in all, we would definitely have them again!
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.
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!
Lina took care of our 9 month old pup Ruairi while we were on holidays. It was our first time leaving him, but we were instantly reassured. Lina updated us daily with videos and photos and we could tell he was having a wonderful time playing with all of his new friends. He was walked and had plenty of exercise and cuddles. We were worried he would not want to come home to us!!! For Ruairi it really was a home from home experience and he was treated like their own dog. We will definitely book Ruairi in again and have recommended Cosy dog boarding to all of our friends.
We left our 2 year old cockapoo Alfie to stay with Lina while we were on holiday. This was the first time he was away from family, but Lina was so kind and reassuring to Alfie. She gave him so much attention, care and affection throughout his stay. Lina spent a lot of time bonding with him , so quickly he was at ease. We were delighted to watch the videos of Alfie in the garden with the other dogs.He made friends with Guinness amongst others. Lina sent us regular updates, videos and messages of how he was settling in. This allowed us to enjoy our holiday knowing that Alfie was in a home away from home. Thank you so much for giving Alfie such wonderful care and attention during his stay. I would definitely love Alfie to stay with you again. Siobhan Dearey, Dundalk.
Our dog Charlie has been with Lina for the past week. He’s not used to us being away and was quite nervous to begin with. Lina had a magnificent way of calming and settling him. She gave him lots of her time and attention and spent time getting to know his personality. We could see this clearly from the regular photos and videos she sent to us. She is so kind and caring to all of the dogs in her care. I would absolutely use her service again and would highly recommend this home from home for any dog 🐶. Annmarie & Charlie, Kilcurry, Dundalk.
I was very worried about leaving my two furbabies for the first time ever and I must be honest if it wasn't for Lina with her kind and caring heart and her love for dogs I would have never enjoyed my holiday. She took such good care of them and spoiled them, they didn't want to come home.We will definitely be using Cosy Dog again in the future. We can't thank Lina and her husband enough! They are 2 amazing people!
I highly recommend using Cosy Dog Boarding in Louth for your furry friends. My experience using their services for the first time with my French Bulldog, Canelo, was exceptional. Lina, the caregiver, went above and beyond by providing daily updates with photos and messages, keeping me informed about Canelo's well-being. When an unforeseen circumstance caused me to miss my flight and delayed me from picking up Canelo as planned, Lina graciously accommodated him for an extra night without any hesitation. The facilities boast fully enclosed grounds, providing ample space for dogs to play, run, and truly enjoy their stay. Lina's genuine warmth and evident passion for dogs instill complete trust in her ability to deliver top-notch care. Canelo was treated as if he were part of their own family, and I am immensely grateful for the impeccable service provided. It truly felt like a white glove experience from start to finish. :) I will continue to use her services for the future. Thank you, Lina & Donal!
Lina took care of our puppy very well. We were so happy to leave our puppy with her. And also she keeps us updated with video and photos of our puppy when we were away.
We boarded our big boy several times with this lovely people / dog hotel and he loves it madly and is always so excited to go there. Their own dog is also extremely friendly, playful and mine regards him as his older brother (like peas and carrots). They always take/took such good care of our boy, take him out for walkies in the mountain (never more happy to run in the forest or mountains with Guinness) and gets loads of attention and family time. They have enough space around the house for them to run, play, potter, snif, dig, explore and pent of their energy. For the time your dog is with them they regard/treat it as their own dog. They live close to a mountainous area on the border with Northern Ireland where there is plenty of locations to let the run and roam around freely. Every time when we get him back he is still tired days later and I think he misses having fun and be mischievous with Guinness. Both Donal and Lina are real dog people (like us), have a connection with the dog (sometimes I wonder if she knows him better than I do) and are therefor perfectly capable to take the best possible care of your cherished furry friend / family member. I like the idea that when I go on holiday, my dog has holiday (or a special time too) and they certainly give him that. For me the best indication is how the dog is about it and if he is happy it has to be good. I'm sure he is already looking forward to go back. After all. You can’t fool a dog 🙂
our Cheddar been to Lina s place twice already while we were away. we all think he had great times with Lina. delighted with himself. he didn't even want to leave when we collect him. highly recommend . 👍👍 …
Our dog Benji really enjoyed his stay with Lina and family, he returned home a really happy dog. I would highly recommend this home from home for your dog.
My dog had a good time there ,Lina took care of him very well ,lots of play and treats ,definitely will go back
Couldn’t recommend Gaelle & Moggy Doggy Minders enough! My dog Molly stayed with Gaelle for 9 nights while I was away! I was very nervous sending molly away for the first time but gaelle is an absolute lady! She send pictures/videos of molly the whole time I was away! Molly was well fed and had lots of socialization with the other dogs! Molly was picked up and dropped home late in the evening free of charge.. gaelle is trained in dog first aid and has experience in dog therapy. Molly came home as bubbly as ever! I will definitely be using Moggy Doggy Minders again even as a day care once or twice a week. I wouldn’t go to anyone else! 🐾
Gaelle took our 1 year old very lively mini JR for 2 nights. What a great service, collected and dropped back to our house. Gaelle kept us posted on how Molly was getting on and videos of her having a great time. Would highly recommend.
Such an excellent service to have for your dog. The pickup and drop-off option is a real game changer. Gaelle is super at offering your pet a great day of socialising with other pets and lots of exercise. Definitely intend on sending my dog for lots more visits. Highly recommend
Gaelle provides an excellent service at doggy day care, Coco is always excited to see her coming and has a great time there! And the regular videos & photos through the day are brilliant!
Gaelle is a lovely lady and looked after my dog very well. I would highly recommend.
Excellent service. I know my dog is safe and and well cared for with Gaelle. I highly recommend Moggy Doggy Minders. It is really great that Gaelle does a pick up and drop off service. Rates are very reasonable.
We heard about Moggy Doddy minders from our neighbour and when we made contact with Gaelle we were delighted she took the time to visit our dog cooper at home to become acquainted and prevent him from making strange. Gaelle collects cooper and brings him to her home which is dog safe and has loads of activities to entertain cooper during his stay. We receive photos and videos of coopers stay as he interacts with other dogs which is important to us. We would have no hesitation in recommending Gaelle at Moggy Doggy minders to anyone who is looking to have their pets cared for.
I couldn't reccomend Gaelle enough 🙌 Before Bowie went to Gaelle's she came over to our house to meet Bowie so he could get acquainted with her in his own surroundings.Bowie loves going to Moggy Doggy daycare weekly & going for his sleepovers.There is a big secure & safe garden with loads of toys which Bowie loves running around in with his pals. Bowie does be so excited when he sees Gaelle at the door which is great peace of mind for me. Gaelle is wonderful at what she does. Bowie is collected & dropped home by Gaelle which is a brilliant service😊🐶While Bowie is at Gaelle's we receive loads of photos & videos of Bowie which is great peace of mind. I am delighted that I have found Moggy Doggy Minders & I would have no hesitation in reccomending Gaelle to anyone who is looking for someone to mind their dog.
We are so delighted that we have found Gaelle to look after our wee dog Lulu. Gaelle is so professional and accommodating. Lulu has totally settled in with Gaelle and gets so excited when she sees Gaelle coming to pick her up.Lots of playtime inside and outside. There is a lovely enclosed garden and lots of doggy toys to play with.Gaelle takes her for a walk every time she is with her. If there is another dog coming to Gaelle's she always makes sure that both dogs are compatible which is so reassuring. Lulu has stayed overnight in one of Gaelle's bedrooms and Gaelle made sure she settled.If Lulu isnt in good form Gaelle always tells us , we appreciate this so much. We get lots of updates by video to reassure us throughout the day. We know Lulu is in safe hands and she has a ball when she is with Gaelle.We honestly couldn't do without Gaelle and would like to highly recommend her.
Gaelle at Moggy Doggy Minders offers a fantastic pick-up/drop-off doggy day care service. We send our Bernedoodle, Teddy, to her a couple of times a week mostly so he can get some socialization - and we've boarded him for a week as well. We are thrilled with Moggy Doggy Minders and so is Teddy, A+++ service, can't recommend it highly enough!
Our mind is at ease when we are away. We get daily updates and know our cats are looked after by animal lovers who provide diligent care.
We have used this service dozens of times for our 3 dogs for both daily walks and overnight boarding while we travel. Olaf and Tom are very professional, the dogs love them, and they are always quick to respond. I highly recommend to anyone who wants to make sure their dogs are well looked after while they're gone.
Amazing. Can't reccomend enough. Did great job looking after our pet during our honeymoon. Constant updates on how pet was doing, which was great to see. Will 100% use again.
Our House and pet sitting service is very useful if you need to travel and leave your house unattended for a day or weeks. Many burglaries are committed while people are away on holiday, so it makes sense to maintain a reassuring presence while your home is unoccupied - after all, no-one wants to return to find that they have been burgled or that a burst pipe has been unattended for days. Your pets are also less likely to fret during your absence if they can be cared for in familiar surroundings and are less likely to be exposed to the contagious illnesses which can break out in kennels. Our high quality house and pet sitting services will ensure your house and pets are looked after well.
I left my Yorkie here for the first time. She is a nervous little dog but got on fine and seemed happy. It was great to get a photo of her been walked and played with. This is a great service and I would recommend housesitters.ie
Excellent service.Thanks to Olaf and Tom for taking such a good care of our dog.We used their midday walk service for months as well as home boarding when going on holidays.We know we leave our dachshund in good hands when he's with them.They are professional easy to communicate with and very accommodating.Their online booking system and daily dog diaries with pictures are great too!
Wonderful service, Thank you both, Bonnie as always enjoys her holidays with you both.
Would highly recommend Olaf & Thomas! A great service and so comforting to know your beloved pet is being looked after so well!
I've used the midday walk service a couple of times now, very reliable and dog well taken care of. Will definitely use it again
Great service. They updated us every day with pictures. Will use them. Again.
Kate is the only dog kennel I want to send my dog to. Fantastic!
Our cocker spaniel puppy had his first boarding experience at Kate's Kennels and we were so happy with everything. Bailey was very well looked after and Catherine sent us plenty of videos and photos which allowed us to see how he was getting on while we were away. I would definitely recommend Kates Kennels for your precious four-legged friend!
It was the first time my precious dog had been in kennels and I was pretty nervous. I needn't have been - Kate sent daily videos showing Jess living her best life running round green fields or going for rambling walks or playing with other dogs. It's a brilliant service and I'd highly recommend!
Kate’s Kennels in Castleblaney…what a fantastic experience we had there. Straight away she treated us like old friends and Cuni loved it there. She showed us around and gave us a chance to familiarize ourselves with it all. It’s 15 acres where they have a play area and an area for long walks. It’s big enough to have room to roam but small enough to feel cozy and friendly. The price was excellent and worth every penny if not more. I was worried about Cuni being lonely at night but he was so exhausted from all the play he slept like a baby. Loads of pics and video updates from Kate so I had no worries at all. It’s absolutely ideal. If you need a doggy hotel, Kate’s Kennels is the best around. ❤️
First time to use this wonderful service ,our dog Nala had a great time and she was well looked after and beautifully groomed
Will always take my dogs here for grooming!
Great service friendly staff
