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.
I'm delighted to have found Lisa as a sitter and hope to have her back again! She was detail oriented and clearly cared about my cats' well being. She asked good questions about the cats' routines and needs and about the house to be sure she'd meet my expectations and have a comfortable and successful sit. She communicated very well before and throughout the sit and even though I was unreachable for much of the time I was confident everyone was in good hands. Lisa left the house in immaculate condition and the cats were relaxed and happy when I got home. What a delight!
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!
Kathryn was amazing. She helped me figure plans out after another sitter dropped out at the last minute and saved the day! My cat and fish were well taken care of, and she was super communicative when my tank had a problem child moment. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, helpful, and caring sitter!!
Laura came across the country to sit for us. She arrived a day early and from the moment my pets met her our Lokie was smitten. We have one shy cat Luna and she was out and about on the first night. Laura kept us updated and shared her Adventures as well. We do live in a small hideaway of a town so seeing that she was able to enjoy herself was nice. We returned to a clean home, laundry done also, and very content pets. Lokie was sad for a few days as he missed his friend. We would recommend Laura as a sitter to anyone and would have her back again. 5 plus stars. ⭐
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!
Karen was able to step in a sit for me on short notice after another sitter canceled. She was very thorough and communicative and I felt I had left my apartment and cats in good hands with her. I came home to a clean apartment and happy cats. I definitely recommend Karen as a sitter.
Caroline was a fabulous sitter and looked after our cat and the house beautifully. She is sensible and very self-sufficient but also kept us informed. We came home to a happy cat and a tidy house. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to others and hope she will sit for us again in the future!
Pennee and Bill were the BEST pet sitters and guests ever! I really wanted them to stay forever ! Our cat, Miss Kitty bonded so much to them, that she really wasn’t that happy to see me when I got home .Our cat is a finicky eater and they tried all different types of food and treats for her. They sent me regular photos of miss kitty and I knew everything was great when most of the pics had miss kitty on their lap. Our cat doesn’t take to many people but she immediately fell in love with them. Pennee sent us our mail and prescription meds on a regular basis , and went out of her way to take care of any issues . They fell in love with the neighbors and community and just made our lives so easy . We experienced the Covid 19 virus outbreak quarantine during this time and Pennee and Bill agreed to stay a month longer at our home . They were extremely flexible with their travel plans so that everyone would be safe. Upon our arrival home, we were greeted with a bouquet of flowers , beautiful hanging basket of flowers for outdoors and a beautiful bottle of wine . And our house had never been cleaner ! Bill and Pennee are a pet owners dream couple !I felt extremely lucky to have found such a great petsitter and new friend . We will be visiting each other in the future .
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!
A 5 star rating for this super friendly and accommodating boarding and daycare facility for dogs. Our dog loves it and pulls the arm off me to get inside, which is a major sign that he feels safe and cared for there. Here is a photo of Senan not wanting to leave, one summer evening after collecting him. Thank you Fiona and Paul ☺️
Rupert our Bichpoo resided in Happy Tails for 1st week July 24. It was spotless, well run, safe & secure. Fiona & Paul take great care of the animals in their care. Wishing you many more years in business. Regards Elaine
Fiona &Paul are amazing, they really give it there all with the pets they have in their care , my puppy Sammy has been going their now the last few months & he loves it , plenty off areas for them too run & play , and their over night kennels are great , when I seen where Sammy was sleeping etc I couldn't believe my eyes , so clean ,cosy that I was thinking I'd nearly book myself in!! Good job ye guys 👍 and thank ye again 😀
Barney is a Rescue Dog who came into my life 6 years ago , and has become my soul mate . He knows my moods and when I need a cuddle. He is Family and not a pet, and his well being is of the utmost importance so when it came to finding a Boarding Kennels I applied the same criteria that I would in choosing an Hotel for my wife and myself. A great deal of research and time went into sourcing a suitable premises that Barney would feel safe secure and loved , Happy Tails did just that. We took him to Fiona for a Day Care Doggy Day and we knew at once that Fiona ( and Paul) were "Doggie People" Their lives revolved around their own dogs and their Guests exactly what i wanted. Barney loves them and they look after him in the same caring way that I do. The Kennels are superb and the play areas enormous , and Barney being a fussy eater gets his rashers and sausages mixed with his feed .With the new addition of The Doggie Taxi it means that Barney can be collected and returned in comfort and safety. You will find it difficult to find better . Barney says Thank you but more so so do I s He is my Life and I gladly entrust him to Fiona,
Fiona and Paul are absolutely amazing. We are so happy to have somewhere that our dogs love going, where they're well treated and happy. Fiona caters for dietary needs, medication, etc, so no matter what our dogs need during any given stay, we know they're being so well looked after. Happy Tails is the best boarding and daycare facility in the midlands, if not the country. Our dogs get so excited to see Fiona and Paul, and they even have their own favourite spot to sleep. Sam has decided he's the boss when he's there and Fiona keeps us updated on all the shenanigans they get up to. We'd be lost without Happy Tails.
Pretty good experience. They were very kind and took good care of our dog! Great place!
Happy Tails boarding kennels does exactly what it says on the tin...... happy dogs! It’s wonderfully run by the friendly Fiona and Paul who so obviously care about each and every dog in their care . The amount of space for the dogs to run free is fantastic and the accommodation is 5 star quality, spacious, clean and comfortable. I never worry about Barney when I go on holidays, he has a wonderful time in Happy Tails.
Lovely set up. Fiona is so Nice i took to her straight away.. She was happy to let us come out and have a look at where our pets will be staying before we booked them in. Not all of the places we were looking at,were so acommadating.
Absolutely incredible. Fiona and Paul are amazing. Our dogs love it there and it gives us massive peace of mind knowing their safe and happy when we’re away. Wouldn’t leave them with anyone else.
Happy Tails is a home away from home. Absolutely recommend it. Fiona is lovely to deal with,and to top it all off my dogs came home cleaner than they have ever been!! Didn't last long too long tho 😂 …
Sinead was very accommodating at very short notice. She has a lovely and safe environment for her guests and Poppy loved her stay. We would definitely recommend her for your little dogs and we will definitely be returning. Thanks Sinead.
Seamus was very good. He took care of our two border collies, both of whom have strange behavioural issues and cannot normally be boarded out. For him, that meant staying outside with them to keep them quiet at night, though they were fine in the daytime. I’m not sure he knew exactly what he was taking on, though I did my best to warn him. To his credit, he dealt with it with a smile and both dogs came away unscathed. His facility is probably the best I’ve seen, with all indoor runs and no need for guests to interact with each other. We’d happily go again, though he might be less enthusiastic after a week of sleep deprivation, keeping these two happy.
Bonnie & Bailey love going to Beechillawn Kennels, Their always so well looked after their. Maura H.
