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.
Kerry and Megan were wonderful sitters and took great care of our two cats while we were on vacation for two weeks. They were responsive, gave us regular updates, and seemed to really care about Tumba and Cappa. When Tumba was more timid toward the beginning of our trip and not eating her meals fully, Kerry was sure to ask for additional suggestions from us on how to coax her to eat more. Kerry and Megan also left the house just as we'd left it for them. We really appreciated them going the extra mile to ask about additional cleaning products so they could clean our bathrooms. It felt great to come home and just relax without needing to remake the bed. Thanks for everything, Kerry and Megan! We would certainly entrust our home and kitties to you again in the future.
After seeing the numerous positive reviews, I knew Cung would be an easygoing and professional cat sitter and house guest, and he was :-) Easy communication, prompt updates and clear concern for Boz & Artie's wellbeing, and pictures of cozying up on the couch together all made our time away secure and stress free. Upon returning home, the cats were chill and the apt was left spotless, as though he hadn't even been there.
Daniel and Vasylyna were incredible house sitters and we would welcome them back to sit for us again any time they are available! They were fantastic communicators, making sure to work out details far in advance and they sent frequent picture updates of our animals which made us so happy while we were away. When the power went out in the neighborhood while they were here leading to a technology issue with our alarm system, they handled everything well. Upon our return, the house was clean, the garden was thriving and well cared for, and our dog and cat were clearly very loved while we were away - in fact our dog was sooooo sad to see them leave! I had the pleasure of getting to know them a bit before I left, and they are such a kind, adventurous, and great couple. I would highly recommend having Daniel and Vasylyna take care of your house, plants, and animals!
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.
Denae and Burl were absolutely fabulous house/pet sitters for 4 weeks, Dec 2022- Jan 23. They are very friendly and intelligent, caring towards the animals (2 cats and 1 lively dog), and left our home clean and tidy. It all went very, very smoothly. It was a pleasure to deal with such nice people. We have invited them back whenever they want and hope the rest of their exploratory mission is a great success. I would be pleased to be contacted if anyone needs a further reference.
Kathryn was such nice and kind sitter that both of my boyfriend and me were grateful to have, including my cats!! My cats seemed having great time with her, being around her, chilling on couch with her, or even sitting on her. I got several photos of my cats from her with whort updates. I’m thankful that she let me do facetimes with her when I missed my cats. The house was clean and tidy when we came back. I definately will ask her again to sit my cats and house when I need. Thank you Kathryn!!:)
Caroline is an amazing sitter ! We were far away, had never left our cat for such a long period of time and we felt really confident with her. She took great care of our cat Honey as well as she did for the house, pool and garden. She was even able to handle the end of the refection of the bathroom which was a last minute surprise… We felt Caroline was reliable and self sufficient. We had a great communication with her during our stay abroad. We even found many nice intentions when we came back from our vacations such as fresh fruits and bakeries for a nice and welcomed breakfast after a night in a plane ! We definitely recommend Caroline for your sittings and we will obviously call her back !
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!
Hillary is the ONLY person that I trust with my Sash, Hillary understands Dogs and my Girl Loves her, 5 Star isn't enough. Thanks Hillary
Would highly recommend these Kennels. Very easy to deal with and our Bichon was given lots of care and comfort. We will definitely use again if staying Cork City.
Highly recommend these kennels the lady hilary is such a lovely lady I will only use these kennels from now on my dog taken good care of 😍 …
I recently left my dog here for a wk I found it great Hilary is a lovely lady showed me around kennels,sent me a pic updated me my dog liked her as well will definitely use again and recommend
Hillary is a very genuine and honest lady. Iam very pleased with the great care she gives my dog.
Very friendly, take amazing care of the dogs. Wide enclosed outdoor area to play.
very welcoming and dogs treated very well and well looked after
Plenty of good care & exercise.highly recommended.
Great place to leave your pet in safe hands.
Can’t recommend collins canines enough. Molly, our timid golden retriever pup, seems to be scared of all humans except for Aidan and she can not wait to get out of the car and let me go to work so she can spend the day with him!! It’s so lovely to see how much Aidan loves the dogs and how much the dogs love him. It’s also so nice to know that while I’m working Molly couldn’t be left in safer hands. Even the weeks I’m off I’ll send Molly in at least once a week for her own entertainment
I dropped off my bouncy, energetic, crazy puppy Bruce today! I brought home a calmer, happier, more mentally and physically stimulated puppy. I can't thank Aidan enough, this is exactly what my boy needed. Such a wonderful place for dog socialisation. Aidan is fabulous and really knows his stuff. I really appreciate how he is so clear and precise about what you can expect and the best schedule for the dog in respect to days, duration etc. Can't wait for the next day! Would highly recommend to anyone bringing a puppy into their life for the benefit of their dog in the long run! So much thanks!
Aidan, Rosin and Hilary are just amazing! My little rescue is changing for the better every day, gaining confidence and learning how to play! Aidan and team clearly adore the dogs and I know I'm leaving my one in safe hands - and the daily photo's are just the cherry on top! Couldn't recommend enough!
We love leaving Mina with Aidan and the girls, and she loves going there, wagging her tale as soon as we arrive! They're all amazing with the dogs. They're professional, reliable and they really are looking for the dog wellness and positive experience! Is a peace of mind leaving her with them!🐾🐾💚 …
Contacted Aidan as saw he had mostly good reviews. Completely rude and unprofessional. Was told “he doesn’t take stressed or crazy dogs” and told to go elsewhere. When asked where would he recommend he said he didn’t know anywhere for me. I’ve heard before that he’s not a people person but didn’t believe it until I saw it. Wouldn’t recommend getting in touch with this guy.
Collins Canines team are amazing and have been an integral part of helping my once nervous rescue dog adapt to being a happy healthy dog :- she loves her time here. I couldn’t recommend it highly enough.
Our 8 month old Labrador Retriever has been going to Aidan and his team for a few months now and he absolutely loves it...it's great for socialisation in a controlled safe environment. Max loves going up to meet his doggie friends on a weekly basis. He jumps out of the car and runs in for his days fun.
Was with Collins Canines for about 2 months end of 2020 and as rude and unprofessional as I thought Aidan was, he was my best option at the time and did seem good with my dog. After a 9 month break, he claimed to have no recollection of either myself, my dog or any whatsapp messages, he didn't seem interested in my business when i asked him for dog minding 4 times a week but eventually did allow a test booking for a few hours. Within 30 seconds of me handing the dog over at the door to me getting back to my car, he could apparently tell that she was very aggressive and not used to other dogs. I had just come back from a week holiday where the owner of the day care didn't charge me full price because "she was such a pleasure and got along with every dog". I fully understand that he knows his animals, but from the get go it seemed like he didn't want my business. He said he would follow up on places i could bring her but I didn't hear anything from him again. Would not recommend for lack of friendliness and professionalism alone.
We managed to get our dog in while we visited cork for a graduation. During both the trial day, and the full day that our dog was there, we got photo updates via WhatsApp which was so lovely! Collins canines/ Aidan are very professional and he and the staff clearly love what they do!
Aidan is the only person our boxer has ever been happy being left with outside of our home! He’s amazing with dogs! Would highly recommend Aidan and his services!
I cannot recommend Belrose enough. What a warm welcome when we arrived. The cutest set up ever. You instantly feel their love for the dogs. Especially when I picked him up it wasnt just hand him over and gone. They knew the personalities of each dog. To top it all Catherine sent me a video while I was away. Highly recommended 💕 …
Belrose Kennels is absolutely 5 stars. Our Border Collie Tommy loves it, and I'm so happy leaving him there. He gets the vest care and has a great time. You can book a groom as well so he comes home smelling fab!! Thank you Catherine for making it so easy for us to enjoy our holidays :)
My standard Poodle Charlie just loves to stay with Catherine and Martin in the wonderful Belrose Kennels. He jumps out of the car and runs in without even a glance back in my direction. I have no hesitation leaving Charlie as I know he will be so well cared for and loved while he is there on his holidays. He always comes home happy and looking forward to his next trip. Thank you Catherine and Martin😀🐩🐩
This Kennels is definitely the best one around. My 2 dogs and 2 cats stayed here and where so happy I got lots of pictures and video's to see them all enjoying themselves. I would definitely send my pets here again. Seeing how happy they are made my holiday much more enjoyable. They where safe happy loved and made so many friends. Catherine is also a very talented grommer and gave Riley a gorgeous a hair cut😊
Our 3 pups stayed here with Catherine for 9 days while we were on holidays and they were super well cared for and very happy dogs when we picked them up. Highly recommend Belrose! ❤️😊 …
I have nothing but positive things to say about Belrose Boarding Kennels! My two dogs absolutely adore coming here for daycare, and when they’ve stayed overnight, I’ve felt so at ease leaving them there knowing that they’re well looked after and perfectly happy. Couldn’t recommend them enough!! Top class kennels and facilities!
Better than a home from home. Catherine and Martin are both so friendly and helpful. It was Milo's (5yr old Beagle's) first time boarding and he had a great week. Very professionally run Kennels that are genuinely 100% focused on the guests. You only have to visit to get that instant feeling that you're in safe hands. Many thanks and see you soon.
We can't recommend Belrose Kennels enough.. our Golden Retriever Jessie has found a 'home away from home' there. Catherine and Martin and their family do a fantastic job, the place is amazing and every dog gets 5 star treatment there. 👏 …
Highly recommend Belrose Kennels, Catherine & Martin are fantastic. Our dogs loved it there & it puts our mind at ease going away knowing they’ll be cared for so well. It was lovely to see the videos Catherine sent on to me. Superb facilities & home away from home.
I would just like to say a massive thank you to Catherine at Belrose Cattery. Our 2 cats, Stuart & Mickey stayed for 2 weeks in November 2023. They settled in great & had a very relaxing holiday. They came home to us in great form. I would highly recommend Belrose 🙌🙌 …
I cannot recommend these kennels highly enough. The absolute love of dogs is evident from the moment you drop until the moment you collect your exhausted happy pooch at the end of the day. Mention Irene and your dog will go wild to get there.
Irene and all her family are the best around when it comes to taking care of your dog. I have been with Irene now for over a year and use all her services and can say without a shadow of a doubt that they are the best dog kennel/doggie day care service around. I would highly recommend them as our dog is always happy and loves going here in fact all we have to do is say Irene's name and he is at the door barking to go to her.
Irene loves animals. Cares for them as if they were her own and really looks out for their best interest. The only person I would trust with my golden retriever pup. She jumps out of the boot of the car when we arrive and is excited to get going and she always comes back tired from having so much fun.
Irene and family go beyond any expectation in making my Lola enjoy and be safe in her kennels. Like always on our return frim holidays we find Lola happy, playful and so clean🤗. I couldnt be more satisfied with another service. …
Good communication, friendly staff. Easy pick up and drop off.
I came up to use your service this morning. Yes I do work in a daycare not a kennels. I was willing to give my own money but me and my dog were dealt with very unprofessionally. Therefore 1 star.
This is the best boarding and grooming that we have found. We have large dogs and they took them and boarded them with no issues. The dogs love them and have a great time when they are boarded there.
Irene is absolutely fantastic with dogs and helps dogs with various issues. She has turned my dog around and he adores her.
Really happy with the care Irene and her family give to Dreamer. Very professional and very loving towards Dreamer who always seems content after her day out or weekend.
Irene is atrocious, says alot when they're the only place taking bookings when everywhere else is booked out, I'm not even gonna write out my experience with then because I'll be here all day.
This is our 2nd time carrying our Cat here. It’s obvious that she’s really well looked after, and she was quite content when we collected her. It’s obvious here too that Jim and Bernie and also Gemma like animals.We will be back again, and WE would highly recommend “COMFY KENNELS” for a little holiday for your PET.
Lovely and friendly people here. My dog doesn't mind going there because u always get a great vibe from the place. The grooming service that's available there is fantastic and any time i drop off my dog she get groomed. Keep up the great trade and we'll be in touch again soon 🙂👍👍 …
Wouldn't go to any other kennels. Jim has a natural understanding of animals. All i can say is a big thank you to all staff including Sarah, for looking after Sheena. Will to be back soon. 5*****
I always take my dog sammy to gemma in comfy kennels to be groomed, the service is first class. He loves going there,hes like a new dog after .we also use comfy kennels when we go on holiday its home away from home for them. No better place
Extermal obliging. Rang them to say running a bit after time and no problem and spent a while chatting with the owner at a distance but having her reassuring us about the dogs. So so considered and very helpful. Couldn't do more for the doggies
I recently left my dog at comfy kennels, i found them to be very friendly and very professional. I would highly recommend them. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Very helpful and friendly staff. Explained everything, good service, definitely will use again if have to, thanks leds
An excellent kennels. Well signposted once you get to Dromdowney. Jim and Bernie really go above and beyond.
Very friendly, very easy to deal with and reasonable price.
my dog was after staying there injured.
I could not recommend Irene & her family enough. We were so nervous at the thoughts of sending our FurBaby, Daisy to a kennel, as she is just 2 years old, an absolute baby at best and had never stayed in a kennel before. Daisy had quite sensitive skin & ears, which is no longer the case following her stay here. I cannot explain how relaxing our holiday was knowing Daisy was looked after like one of their own at Ballygarvan Boarding Kennels. I was sent photos and videos to keep us updated which was a really lovely touch. When we went to ollect Daisy Irene asked Daisy if she wanted to come back in and she actually tried to jump back out of the car 😂. Happy little smiley head and waggy tail said it all. Thank you again Irene, so so much. Daisy sends her slobbery kisses also. x
Top grade accomodation and care. Thanks for washing her! She might sleep on the bed tonight!
