Carole and Ron are excellent cat-sitters! They took very good care of my cat Lola and of my house. I came home to a happy cat and a very clean and tidy house. They sent me pictures of Lola and kept me updated, so that I had a very relaxed holiday. I very highly recommend them as cat- sitters and I would be thrilled if they would come back to sit for Lola again. Thank you so much!
Pares is an experienced and quality sitter and we knew our cat Juniper (and a few plants) was well cared for. We received regular updates and photos which was really nice to have during our travels. While we missed Juniper, we could see that she enjoyed receiving cuddles and attention from Pares. Upon returning home, our flat was clean and tidy, and Juniper was very happy! Thank you for taking care of her!
I am struggling with naming our top adjective to describe Michael and Jeanne. "Conscientious" will likely be it but then again, "personable," "reliable," "organised," and "animal-loving" are top contenders. If you are reading this review and contemplating inviting this couple to watch your pets, then look no further. We have had a number of excellent house sitters but this pair was next level in terms of the love they showed our cats, Maxx and Nala. When we came back, we could our animals already missed them. These cats, who have never slept with anyone other than us, were getting in bed with them each night -- and that meant climbing stairs! The day before our trip, Nala got an ear infection and had to be put on steroids for asthma. Michael and Jeanne did not sign up for that when the sit was booked but they took it in stride. In the last-minute rush, I relayed that Nala needed her oral steroids morning and night. Michael read the RX label, indicating one dose a day, and contacted the vet to clarify. So you can see why "conscientious" is right up there. They saved Nala from an overdose! We were gone three weeks and they sent us just the right amount of pictures and videos. They bought cat toys (I forgot to put ours out!) and actively engaged with them, including 20-minute massages for Maxx. I truly believed them when they said they fell in love with our fur babies. The house was spotless (which was not important to me but truly appreciated) but I smiled when all six water stations in our yard were filled. They took seriously my love for and the needs of the wildlife in our yard. Our plants were all in good condition as well. Sensing they were "next level" when I met them, I predicted they would want to leave a meal for us upon our return. I asked them not to but they found another way to bow out with class. They made a donation to a nonprofit I work with instead. This I learned from the lovely thank you note they left. I hope they will consider Charles and I friends because we certainly feel that way about them now. What special people. If you book them, treat them well because they are going to do that for you for sure.
Marianna was an incredible house sitter and cat sitter. She gave our property and sweet kitty top notch care. She is kind, easy to communicate with, thorough, etc. Would highly recommend her, you will not be disappointed.
Catherine was wonderful! She took care of my cat and house while I was out of town and left and Jack the Cat very and calm and the house in perfect shape which I so appreciate. I could return home and attend to other things rather than cleaning house. I would recommend her as a sitter to anyone. She was easy to communicate with, provided updates and pics of Jack, willing to jump in and assist me as I left or returned. She has a sweet and warm personality and enjoys what she does with house sitting. Thank you Catherine!
Wow, what a find Justin is! I feel as though I won a lottery. As I was revelling in the communication we were having during his stay, I looked over his profile and realized either that he had updated it during his stay OR I never even read it. I was so impressed with his initial application that described multiple stays taking care of cats in Turkey that I knew he was going to be a great choice. So I'm not sure that I even read his profile or reviews. Turned out...he was more than I could have EVER hoped for. Justin is VERY organized and clear with his communication. Just as--or maybe more--important, he is a poster child for what zeewoi can be: more than just an economical way to get a pet sitter or a place to stay. Justin embraces the barter economy and the opportunity it presents to get to know people. Although we only met the day that I turned the house and my 2 cats over to his care, we had delightful communication throughout his stay. He wanted to be sure he was providing the right care to all living and non-living elements of my home as well as just chat beyond what we'd had an opportunity to cover when we were face to face on the handoff day. Bottom line: I'd have Justin back even if I wasn't going anywhere! I've met a friend. And my neighbors did as well! Oh yes, and my two cats were well looked after, the house was in ship shape, and Justin was able to brief the next sitter in person (I'd had to extend my time away and Justin already had another commitment). To say I felt confident leaving my pets and home in Justin's care is an understatement. Justin is a real adventurer and believer in the power of both human and animal connection. Without a doubt, I would recommend him as a sitter...and a friend! Thank you, Justin for a great example of how to wrestle so much more meaning out of zeewoi.
Kathy and Ron arrived at our home with a most fantastical toy for our cats and a giant apple pie. Need I say more? They are very experienced sitters and brought personal items that they prefer. We knew we were leaving out cats in good hands. A large part of their 'job' was hand watering our garden and Ron took that in stride. Everything is thriving. Our cats are usually distant with new people but we received photos of them keeping Kathy and Ron company in various situations which was reassuring. They clearly won our cats over. Although Ron and Kathy had a ferry to catch on their last day, they took time to wash their linens and hang them on the clothesline. They also left us a gorgeous plant for our garden. We would very much like to have them back for a longer sit if possible.
Oh wow! Everyone should be so lucky to have Nicholas and Veerle watch their house and pets. These lovely people are pros! They communicated early and often, were super accommodating to some last minute changes (it was originally going to be only our cats to watch but we decided to keep the dog home as well so that added to the schedule and care needs) and they left the house spotless and all set up for another sitter who came in after them. We didn’t get the chance to meet because my departure and arrival times but I dearly hope I get to in the future because they were just great! I even heard how nice they were from My neighbors who say them out walking our dog. :-) They also sent regular pictures of the pets which look like pro-photography! Cannot recommend this couple enough! Your pets and house will be in good hands!
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!
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.
Is it better to board cats or leave at home?
Veterinarians advising to leave cats at home with a pet sitter who will stay overnight in your home, boarding is not recommended for cats as they are stressed in a new environment, you can find a sitter who will care for your cats and home overnight at Sittsy.
How much should you pay someone to watch your cat?
At least €15 per visit, per overnight watching in your home, otherwise you can find a free sitter at Sittsy.
What do people do with their cats when they go on vacation?
Inviting a cat sitter to your home, boarding the cat with a local business, asking a friend, family or neighbour to feed and check the well-being. The most efficient way to leave your cat during your vacation is with Sittsy cat sitters overnight, in this way, you will save cat sitting costs and make vacation not only for you but also for your cat sitter!
Excellent service,Staff are wonderful,they acknowledge each dog by name and get to know the character of each and every dog.Inn the dog house offers fantastic day care,allowing your pet to socialise with other dogs and people.i have also used Inn the doghouse for overnight stays and training…the main attraction for this business is the team working there..they are wonderful…I would highly recommend this business…
Always exceptional care here. Our Puppy regularly attends daycare which gives us the peace of mind that she’s being well looked after when we can’t be at home with her. Excellent also for Grooming & Sleepovers.
5 star service , dogs well looked after , it’s all about them their care ect . Outdoor play and games all the time , bubbles ect These three love it , grooming service training classes and sleepovers also available no need to go elsewhere , the dogs love all the staff , who are all dog people , and Lyndsy the owner is all about the care of our dogs
Our Puppy Geoff went in his first sleepover this wk after going in for his first daycare last wk. I couldn’t but recommend Inn the dodhouse the care the dogs get and the enthusiasm of the staff is second to none.
5 star experience for Inn The Doghouse if you are looking for day care, overnight boarding in their 5 star dog hotel or grooming, they have the complete package. Puppy classes and obedience classes are also conducted by the owner Lyndsey. The staff is very clear to see love looking after all the dogs in their care and I wouldn’t go anywhere else with my 2 fur babies. Can’t recommend enough. They also added on a cat hotel for boarding with a separate entrance.
Great staff who look after our dog Cooper brilliantly every time he goes for grooming.
Absolutely lovely place. Professional staff and very nice. Highly recommend 😊 …
I got my very nervous dog "Duncan" groomed. The staff were kind and very loving and understanding to Duncan. He wasn't locked in a cage before or after the groom and was socialising with the other dogs there for their groom.he also acquired a new tie from the groomers
OK once your dog remains young and healthy - have been sending my dog here since it opened and now as he has been diagnosed with diabetes and needs medication they will no longer take him. Very disappointing after the business we have given them over the years and dog is used to this place and now will have to change. Thankfully no where else I have rang has a problem with the medication so maybe training or staff experience not as good here or else they just want min hassle for the money. Bare this in mind before u get ur dog used to here as if they have an extra need down the line they won't be accommodating.
Our young puppy has been extremely well looked after by Inn the Doghouse. Even on her tired and sleepy mornings she gets excited and eager at drop off. Staff are friendly and give good feedback on how your dog is getting on.
We have boarded our 2 cocker spaniels girls several times now here and it is obvious when we collect them that they are happy and have been well looked after and loved on. We previously used a different kennel for many years but after a couple of bad experiences I researched into a new one and found Beech Lodge, and wish I knew better and had done so sooner!
Fantastic kennels for both doggie daycare and over night. Dermot had a genuine love for dogs giving them great care. I love getting the video clips of the fun antics the doggies get up to, always puts a smile on my face. 😊 …
I highly recommend Beech Lodge Boarding Kennels. We left our Cavapoo puppy there, in a very short notice, for a weekend and he was treated as a prince. We received some lovely videos of our puppy during his stay. Thank you so much Dermot and Caoimhe for taking good care of our Toby 🐶 …
I would highly recommend Beech Lodge Boarding kennels. Rang up on a Friday afternoon on very short notice in the hope to find a suitable place for a 2 night stay. Dermot was so nice and obliging taking our 10 month old pup in for the weekend. We were very comfortable leaving Dave with Dermot and his family and received daily updates with photos and videos. Thank you so much :) Look forward to seeing you again. Rebecca & Dave
Our cocker spaniel Nellie went on holiday here last week. Nellie had never been in a kennels before but got on great. We loved that she got to run and play all day before going into the kennels at night for bed. We could tell after her weeks holidays that she was so well cared for and relaxed. Will definitely bring Nellie back because she loved it so much!
I cannot recommend Beech Lodge highly enough. Our 16year old Springer Frieda had no problems and she was in great form when we picked her up after a 3 day stay over. It is obvious that the dogs are well looked after here and we have Frieda booked in for another stay soon. Plenty of space for the dogs to run, play and socialise.
Our dog Eochaidh enjoyed his stays at Beech Lodge Kennels. Would highly recommend. Owner is providing excellent service. Lovely people to deal with.
Our dog Bruce always enjoys his stays at Beech Lodge Kennels. Would highly recommend and lovely people to deal with.
THE BEST in the business. Our Eco gets beyond excited when he realises he's going here, he cant get out of the car fast enough. That's enough for me. Happy doggy, happy owner.
Jazzy and Stella love going out to Dermot, happy dogs going and happy dogs coming back,we couldn’t ask for more!
Pet Sitters Ireland is a remarkable service for households where every member is a working professional and also for general pet sitting during holidays. They provide a variety of services catering to one's specific needs. They have pet walker service where verified pet handlers come to your place to take your fur babies for walks. They also have pet sitting services to take care of them during your holidays which is far better than kennels and many pet sitters who host multiple pets in the same house. Mike is such a great and professional guy. He will give answers to all your doubts and questions and alleviate you of all your apprehensions. 100% recommended. Thank you so much again.
I would highly recommend Pet Sitters Ireland to anyone looking for Pet Care. You can enjoy your holiday knowing your pets are happy and well looked after in their own home, i much prefer this option over boarding kennels. We have used Pet Sitters for a number of years, they give fantastic care and attention to our 2 cats and 2 dogs. Mike goes above and beyond to make sure they are cared for. And this year Aine did a great job looking after them all. My two girls love the photo updates received daily and get very excited to see how their pets are getting on while we are away.
I used Pet Sitters Ireland for the first time last weekend and I can not recommend them enough. Firstly great communication from Mike regarding the arrangements for the pet sitters visit. I was away for 5 days and the pet sitter who minded my dog was amazing and it was very clear she has a great love of all animals which really put my mind at ease. I could really enjoy my holiday knowing my dog and my home where being well looked after. I got lots of lovely updates each day about how my dog was doing. I am delighted I found this company and will definitely use again in the future.
I am so happy to have found Pet Sitters Ireland. I can now go to work safe in the knowledge that my dog Charlie is being cared for so well by Shannon. I love that she sends me updates and pics of Charlie during their walks etc..Being able to leave Charlie in the safety of his home where he is happy and relaxed means everything to me as he is getting on in his years! Thank you Shannon and Pet Sitters Ireland...just wish I had found you years ago x
We utilized the pet sitting services of Pet Sitters of Ireland for over a year when in Dublin and were extremely satisfied with the care and compassion they showed to our 13 year old Ziggy. Mike the owner, took the time to explain their services and instill a sense of trust with his company. He also called several times when we had to switch from our regular sitter and insured that we would be happy with the new sitter. When we did use the services, we got nothing but compliments from others that had seen a Pet sitters employee with our Ziggy and the care that they were showing him. That is such a good feeling to know you are leaving your family member with someone who truly cares about your pet. I can not express the gratitude and appreciation we have for everyone at Pet Sitters of Ireland! Thank you Mike, Karl, and Heidi for the care and concern you gave to Ziggy!
We used Pet Sitters for our wedding and can’t recommend them highly enough. Mike was an absolute pleasure to deal with. Communication was great at all times in the lead up to the wedding day and on the day itself. We were very reassured our dog would be in good hands and this certainly transpired. Mike was fantastic on the wedding day itself. He met our dog early in the morning before transporting him to the venue, where he was looked after him before returning him to our regular dog minder. It was so great having our dog as part of our wedding ceremony and we are so thankful to Mike and Pet Sitters for facilitating this.
Pet Sitters Ireland have been looking after our two cats Lilly and Pixie for the last six years and we are very happy with their services. Mike made sure that we got the best suited pet sitter and was always available when we had any concerns or feedback. One of our cats has separation anxiety and as we are travelling quite a lot, it is very reassuring to know the ladies are cared for by someone that love cats as much as we do. Alba, Eve and Christine were all excellent, reliable and well-communicating. Makes travel so much more relaxing for everyone involved!
I used Pet Sitters Ireland to check in on my cat recently while away on holiday. I was delighted with the service. Really thorough reports were sent daily and there was great communication. It really gave me piece of mind while away. Highly recommend.
I am extremely satisfied with Pet Sitters Ireland! Our cat is rather shy and is only affectionate towards us, but despite of that she was relaxed when we got home. The cat sitter followed my instructions carefully, took very good care of our cat, informed us regularly and even uploaded pictures. I can only recommend choosing Pet Sitters Ireland!
We have used Pet Sitters Ireland for both live in sitting and drop in pet sitting services for our puppy and elderly cat. Mike and his team went above and beyond to look after my pets. In particular, my puppy is a handful and they did so much more than I expected to help her settle in with her sitters. You will receive great customer service from booking, sitting and beyond, in addition to updates at every visit, including photos so you can be away from your pet with total peace of mind. I would highly recommend… thanks Mike and the team!
Very happy with Heather's Top Dog Boarding - we left our dogs with Maura, who had a gentle touch with us and with them, and they were in grand form on collection. A good set up too. Can definitely recommend.
I have a young border collie that is very fearful and can become aggressive with strangers as a result. Because of this, I had never left her with anyone but the time had come when I absolutely needed to introduce her to a kennel ahead of a 2 week absence. Heather came highly recommended but I still was very unsure my dog would ever be able to settle with anyone. I tentatively rang Heather and described my dog's issues and her response was amazing! Heather genuinely welcomed the challenge of working with my nervous dog and have her ready for her stay. Heather's friendliness and unshakable "can do" attitude put me and my dog instantly at ease. The communication between us was so easy and I was relieved to have found a professional with the same positive gentle approach to dog training as me. Over a few weeks Heather helped my dog build a trusting relationship with her and her staff. She was not put off when my dog had her moments and in fact I was amazed at how quickly and easily my dog settled in the end. To me it is clear that Heather is gifted with a natural ability to connect with the dogs, read their behaviours and lead them. Her confidence in her ability to handle my dog gave me absolute peace of mind while I was away but I was blown away when she sent me a picture of her daughter hugging my dog a few days after I had gone! 😍 I am so glad to have found Heather as I couldn't have dreamt of a better outcome!
Highly recommended. Heather took the time to settle my nervous dog in and I had great peace of mind knowing she was in such good care while I was away. I returned to a happy, relaxed dog. Thanks Heather!
Always leave our two dogs with Heather, very friendly, professional and we know that the pets will receive the very best care. Prices are very reasonable and Heather is always helpful and flexible as regards dropping off/collection. Over the years I've used a number of kennels from time to time but Heather's is by far and away the best I have seen. If you want the reassurance of top class professional care for your pets don't go anywhere else.
Buddy just loves it - can’t wait to get out of the car to see who’s there to play with. What more can you say? Makes it so much easier to leave him. Thanks to all there, who love him as much as we do!
We had to put our Fenrir with Heather for 2 weeks while I recuperated after leaving hospital. She was fantastic , our boy couldn't have been happier , so much stimulation and happiness.
Always leave our crew with heather, we’ve 2 St. Bernard’s and 2 golden retrievers, they need a bit of space and an experienced hand because they’re a lively bunch. They absolutely love going to heathers, it’s 100% a holiday for them and they always come home so happy
Heather is a lady and really takes care of the dogs. I left my dog last minute with her and she really took care of him. Have already booked her for the summer as I know she's excellent
Fabulous! Our Arlo LOVES to go there, his head pops up and his tail starts wagging as soon as we go in the gate. Heather couldn't be nicer and she really loves the dogs in her care.
Oh my , 1st time ever my Big fur babies were here, I've got 1 great big German shepherd who is a very nervous dog+ unfortunately suffers with seizures + my Alfie the rotweiler, cannot fault this place 100% recommend heather's peace of mind and so ,so friendly, now at last I can go away on my holidays with no worries, thank u Heather + dawn + all ur staff ,perfection xxx
Great day care for dogs milo has been going there since he was 6 months he loves it.
Our Ginger loves being here & doesn't want to leave in the evenings, she has adopted a few of the staff as her cuddlers 🐕🐕🐕 …
Lovely staff who really love dogs and make sure your pooch has a good experience. Highly recommended
My puppy loves this crèche, staff brilliant.
Milo loves day care
