Sofia and Nicole were excellent sitters to our 2 playful cats (an adult tabby and a BIG Maine coon kitten). They gave us a couple updates daily with pictures, as we requested. They were easy to communicate with before and throughout the entire sit. When we came home, our apartment was tidy (probably neater than we left it!) and our cats were relaxed and happy. They were also kind enough to leave us with some sweet bandanas for our boys. We were super pleased with the quality of care, and would happily recommend Sofia and Nicole to anyone in need of a pet or house sitter!
Kendra was a great cat sitter to Genepi and she truly is a cat whisperer. Genepi usually takes 4 days to make friends with a new person but she came out and made friends with Kendra Day 1! Kendra regularly sent wonderful videos and pics of Genepi purring happily. The apartment was neat when we returned and our garden was blossoming. Would absolutely ask Kendra to sit again and highly recommend her. Thanks Kendra!!
strongly recommend Christine and Phil to housesit for your kitty. Our pets, Babbles and Cousin Eddy, and property, were in very good hands while we where away for two weeks. They had a fair amount entailed with two cats on different food and needs. Cousin Eddy, or Edoardo, is a barn cat we recently adopted. Eddy is very sweet and stays outside but hangs out the side door wanting to be petted and fed; Bubbles is an indoor cat. Both cats were spoiled by Christine and Phil! Christine and Phil were also very caring and attentive with the needs of our Airbnb guests. During the time we were away they kept us updated daily (including photos of the cats). When we came home, our house was perfect, with lovely fresh flowers, notes for us, and our cats had been well-cared-for. They are wonderful house sitters, and we highly recommend them. They were Five-star sitters of our house and cats!
Hannah and Joseph were brilliant sitters - totally reliable and trustworthy. Quick to respond to queries and their past experience with dog/ housesitting was very apparent. Our 2 dogs and 1 cat were well looked after and the house was spotless on our return. We are totally happy to recommend them.
I highly recommend Daniel as a pet sitter and house sitter! He took care of Pipa for over three months this winter and did an outstanding job. From the first day, it was clear that he had a genuine love for animals and a great deal of experience with pets. He was very attentive to his needs and always made sure he was comfortable, well-fed, and had plenty of playtime. In addition to his pet-sitting duties, Daniel also went above and beyond by processing my postal mail and keeping the house well-organized. He was very responsible and reliable, always arriving on communicating, putting the bins out, and watering the plants on time, and keeping me updated with photos and messages. I felt completely at ease knowing that my cat was in such good hands and that my home was well-cared for while I was away. When I returned from my trip, Pipa was happy, healthy, and well-adjusted, thanks to Daniel's excellent care. I would definitely hire him again and recommend him to anyone in need of a trustworthy, caring, and responsible pet and house sitter!
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!
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!
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!
Karen was an extraordinary house and pet sitter who I hope to invite back again soon. You would be extremely fortunate to have her take care of your pets and home. From the very beginning she radiated calmness, knowledge, caring and curiosity. We had a great initial conversation where Karen answered questions I didn't even know I should be asking, and asked excellent questions so she could be prepared and understand the special needs for both my cat and home. She flew into my city the day before I was leaving and stayed at a nearby hostel so that we could meet in person and do a walk through of my home. They say pets have an intuitive nature about people, and I knew Karen would be a winner when my normally very shy/nervous cat came right up and let her pet him. Karen sent wonderful pictures and updates while I was gone and asked questions when she wasn't sure about something. When I returned home everything was spotless and my cat was content. Overall, I couldn't have asked for a better house sitter experience. Thank you Karen!
Kristine was wonderful again as our local sitter from just down the street. The boys take to her like she is their best friend whenever she comes to sit with them. She sent us photos of them playing, relaxing, drinking water and eating so we knew they were well taken care of. The house and the cats were in excellent shape and excellent hands while we were away. It is wonderful that she enjoys the house and the cats so much and tells us so. Kristine comes with our highest recommendation! Thank you Kristine!
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!
I booked my dog in for daycare on WhatsApp and got a confirmation but when we arrived the next morning another girl told us they were fully booked. She explained she was away and the booking should not have been confirmed. Not a very professional way to run a business.
Thank you to Woofys for minding our Golden Doodle puppy Ted while we were away. He came back very happy after making new friends and well looked after - would recommend.
Experienced staff with practical skills that understand the uniqueness of each animal. Competitive prices. This family business also gives back to the community.
My dog goes twice a week to Woofys daycare. He absolutely loves it. Niamh and the girls are so easy to deal with. When we got him he was an extremely nervous dog, the first week at Woofys was tough for him but a week later he loved it! Just over a year sending him and always feel at ease leaving him in good hands
We were extremely happy with Woofys and glad we found such a great place, they looked after our dog Toro very well for 3 weeks , they have lots of outdoor space and bring the dogs for regular walks in the fields which is what our dog needs as well as interaction with other dogs. Also they sent us photos every week of our dog out and about which was great peace of mind that he was enjoying himself. Our dog loves Woofys and we are more than happy to leave him there in the future.
If you want peace of mind when you are away, Niamh is the one to trust with your pets :) She know my GSD very well as she has one of her own. Im very thankful to have found her and woofys!
Woofy's looked after my dog for nearly a week I would highly recommend this kennels my dog was looked after brilliantly and had an amazing stay, and made lovely fury friends along the way ❤️
My dog goes here when we are away. He loves it, goes running in. The staff are lovely. Easy booking system. Can get little updates from them if you are nervous about leaving your pet
Our lab Mac absolutely loves woofys. He goes every day and has done for nearly 2.5 years. Niamh and the crew are brilliant. Couldn't recommend this place enough.
Excellent care and attention to my dog. Lots of fun and interaction, using this company for over 7 years now, daycare & kennels. Wouldn't go anywhere else. Drop off and collection very pratical
If you have an exotic pet I highly recommend using Little Pets Holiday Home! Nell is absolutely superb and so considerate taking care of our rabbit Lola when we are travelling. She goes the extra mile in ensuring Lola is well looked after, provided her with attention and treats, and even provides us with updates (texts and vids) while we are away. She is also very affordable in comparison to most pet hotels out there! Your pet will be in good hands with her!
I highly recommend Little Pet Holidays Home! Our experience was amazing. Really happy we found Nell. She took exceptional care of our 2 guinea pigs while we were on holiday. Throughout their stay, Nell kept us updated with videos and pictures. Seeing our guinea pigs looking so happy and relaxed made our time away so much easier. We will definitely use Little Pet Holidays Home again in the future.
So glad we found Nell at the Little Pets Holiday Home as she looked after our two guinea pigs so well while we were on holidays. She sent us updates with photos/videos and gave us some nutritional advice on their dry food as well as clipping their claws. They had garden time and plenty of grass/herbs. A great experience from start to finish. Would highly recommend. Thanks again Nell we will come back again 👍
I highly recommend Little Pets Holiday home. My 2 guinea pigs had the best holiday and were very well looked after and cared for. I loved getting the photo and video updates to see how they were enjoying themselves and the nice food they had. I will definitely be using this service again.
Our two guinea pigs Toffee and Crumbs stayed with Nell for the second time this summer, and each time our piggies came back very relaxed and happy, so I can definitely recommend Little Pets Holiday Home. Nell is very experienced and knowledgeable about guinea pigs and takes really good care of them. She makes sure that she knows all about their usual food routine at home and will follow it when they are with her, even giving supplements and medication hasn’t been an issue for her which I was anxious about before as one of our piggies was recently diagnosed with a heart condition. Thank you!
Absolutely fantastic service! We left our dwarf hamster Chestnut with Nell & Vince for 5 weeks. Communication was brilliant with weekly updates along with photos and videos. Nell also provided tips and nutritional advice which we have taken onboard. We also opted for pick up and drop off service thanks to Vince. We are delighted to have Chestnut home and really appreciate how well he was looked after. I will definitely use and recommend Little Pets Holiday Home in future. Thanks again for everything. Michelle, Caoimhe, Sadhbh & Chestnut.
We left our pet Rabbit, Flopsie a few times now and she has loved it there and was really well cared for. Nell is very knowledgeable on caring for rabbits Flopsie had lots of room to run around and play. We also got updates on how she was keeping and eating, the kids loved the picture and video updates. Would definitely recommend little pets holiday home
Nell was great with our two piggies cookie and Gizmo! She sent us pictures and videos so we felt connected with them throughout and could enjoy our own holiday knowing they were being so well looked after. Nell also gave us lots of great advice and tips as we are New Guinea pig owners. This really is a home away from home for your pets - I would highly recommend little pets holiday home! I’ve attached one of the pictures Nell sent us of our piggies in their holiday home 🤩
Nell does such a great job. I have left my 3 guinea pigs with her on two seperate occasions and both times they have received great care. I received several pictures and videos of how my 3 Guinea pigs are doing and they are always so cheerful and happy. I couldn't recommend Nell enough she really is amazing 😊 …
Nell was brilliant with my two rabbits 🐰🐰 It was the first time I had left them in boarding, but I felt so comfortable as soon as I saw their pen and outdoor area! Nell sent photos and videos during their stay which I really appreciated ☺️ I'll definitely be booking again! …
I went to Rabbit Rooms for bonding services when my rescue rabbits began fighting. As a novice bunny owner I felt very out of my depth and anxious of how to best help my buns. Fiona has been a fantastic resource and support throughout the process. I couldn't speak highly enough of the care, understanding and guidance given. Following her directions I was able to adapt to give Hiccups & Bob the best set up to preserve their bond. Often information available online relates to caring for a single bunny, bonded bunnies might require a somewhat different approach. I went from feeling like I would have to re-home one of my boys, to seeing them the happiest they'd ever been. If you can give your rabbits this chance at rebonding please do because you never know what can be achieved with the right support. Hiccups and Bob are now living their best lives thanks to Fiona 🙂
Fiona was wonderful. Amazing with rabbits and helped me through the whole bonding process with my 2 bunnies. I would highly recommend this business for any rabbit needs including bonding rabbits so they can live together happily, and boarding if you are going away, fiona will look after your rabbits as if they were your own!
Rocco, our dwarf rabbit, was back for his hols in the Rabbit Rooms Small Animal Boarding.again last week. Fiona and her lovely family couldn’t have been kinder, giving advice before about what to bring to help Rocco settle, doing a good groom and nail clip for Rocco and sending photos and texts to let us know he was well. It’s a pleasure to do business with The Rabbit Rooms and with Fiona and her family. Rocco will be back in his fave rabbit hotel again in July. And Rocco spent two weeks in the Rabbit Rooms in July/August 2024. He is always relaxed going to Fiona’s and come back in great shape. Very happy with the time and attention she gives him and with her extensive knowledge of all things bunny!
Fiona is amazing at her job! We had a few issues before trying to find a second bunny to bond with our rabbit. After we found a rescue rabbit that we fell in love with we really wanted to take him home but had concerns as we would be attempting to bond two males. Nearly everyone told us this cannot be done and it’s very rare if it is. When we brought our second rabbit home they didn’t really get along, we were so desperate to make it work so we took them to Fiona to get bonded, to our surprise when we went to collect them after their bonding time was up they were cuddling in the one carrier together!! they’re now inseparable and we couldn’t be happier we chose Fiona to do it for us. Seriously changed our lives and certainly Richards (our first rabbit) who was in serious need of company and Lionel who we took in from a rescue who needed a brother to play and cuddle with. I seriously cannot recommend fiona enough! Now instead of separate play times and cages to separate them, they run around together all day and can play and sleep together, it’s heart warming to see them both so happy in each others company.
If you're contemplating sending your bunnies for bonding with Fiona, do not hesitate, because you will not regret it, she is brilliant! She is honestly a Rabbit expert. She bonded our two female buns for us and we couldn't be more grateful. To see them now, the best of friends snuggling, is something I did not think was possible as we had some fights in the past. Fiona works miracles and is not only a rabbit therapist but a human one too because she will reassure you through the whole process! We needed Fionas help because Bonnie was a rescue bun, aggressive and fearful of other rabbits. We thought we made a mistake getting a second rabbit because they would attack each other through the cage. Fiona was able to work her magic and they are now inseparable! Thanks again Fiona, you are doing great work and amazing at what you do! Love Bonnie & Binx xx
Our Bunnies have stayed with Fiona and family for several years now. We'd never cope without her. They are elderly bunnies at this stage and we know when we leave them with Fiona that they are in expert hands. She loves and cares for them as we do. Brownie (11yrs) was a bit 'off' this Summer and Fiona was quick to act. She was great with administering medication and seeking advice from our fantastic vet at Palmerstown Veterinary. It was a tough Summer with the heat at The Rabbit Rooms I'm sure, but Fiona and her fabulous team went to great lengths and kept their visitors cool. Thank you Godmother Fiona! xxx Brownie & Oreo
Toffee our pet rabbit was so well cared for and enjoyed his first stay at The Rabbit Rooms. He was in the company of lots of other rabbits,hamsters and guinea pigs which I wad told appealed to him and he showed great interest in these other furry friends. I am already thinking of prebooking him over the Christmas period. I would highly recommend The Rabbit Rooms for boarding your pet.
I was so delighted with The Rabbit Rooms. I had been nervous to leave my bunny anywhere for two weeks, but Fiona completely put my mind at ease. She sent me regular updates on him including photos of when he’d be spending some (supervised) time out in the garden, and he even got a pamper session while he was there! Will definitely be using The Rabbit Rooms again.
We have used the rabbit rooms a couple of times already and cannot recommend it enough! Fiona is really great with them and they come back very happy and stress free. The online booking system is really handy to see availability and the online portal gives the chance to give any needed information about your pets! The updates are really nice to see how they're getting on when you're away. Thanks Fiona!! :)
Fiona was incredible all the way through with our three bunnies. Chaos and Tiny, both male and Penelope, our female, went in to fiona to be bonded. After just four days of intense work with Fiona, our two males who used to fight regularly are grooming and sleeping beside each other. All three bunnies are loving each other’s company and none of this was possible without Fiona. Great communication all the way though as well as easy, clear instruction for when you pick them up and take them home. Drop off and pick up was as easy as could be. Can’t recommend Fiona’s service enough. 10/10.
Luna stayed here for a full week and she’s had a blast. Gayle takes really good care of all the dogs. You get daily updates on social media where you can see your furry friends enjoying their time with others on the green fields and all the safely fenced areas they have for the dogs. They also do doggy daycare, so there are always dogs so your little one has always some company. I will definitely will bring Luna back.
Thank you so much to Gayle and all the lovely team at Bridle House Hounds for yet again taking such good care of Ozzy. Ozzy is a nervous dog and the team went out of their way to make sure he was settled and happy during his week stay. Such peace of mind to know he is so well cared for when we are away. Thanks again 😊 …
Great standard of care. Amazing grounds and facilities. Gayle is treating every dog as part of her family. It is home away from home type of care. I wouldn't leave my dogs anywhere else. My 3 dogs, 2 labradors and collie cross stayed with Gayle for 14 nights while we were away on holidays and Gayle took great care of them and provided me updates and photos via WhatsApp . One of my dogs has few phobias, like not being able to walk on tile floors and Gayle always trying to make his stay comfortable by using throws on the floor. Highly recommend.
This is not your average kennel! Lovely house and grounds. Safe setup. Dogs are treated like their family pets! Thanks to Gayle and her team. Would recommend +++
Our dog Bailey suffered from anxiety due to being attacked, our dog trainer didn't work but taking our dogs to Bridle House Hounds has really helped. Both our dogs have a great time and we now take them once/twice a week. Highly recommended.
Gayle and team are an absolute dream to deal. Ted adores going here as well
Fantastic “Dog Hotel” as we call it. Our 2 friends are so very well cared for and loved in our absence . Complete peace of mind when they are with Gayle and her family . So happy to have found you ❤️
Excellent location and grounds. Friendly staff. Its like a doggy hotel. They looked after our 3, 2 labs and a collie, while we were away on hs for 10 days and we knew they were in good hands.
The sorroundings is so cleaned now specially the frontyard and backyard areas. Good job guys a perfect place for our pets. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED GUYS! 5 STAR RATINGS.
If you want your dog to get the very best of care and not have any worries while you're away, this is the place you leave it.
Cannot recommend these enough, have had our dogs here multiple times and always been great. Our larger dog has a bad leg post surgery and they have always been accommodating. They tend to eat their bed the first night but the guys here always make sure they have a spare duvet to give them.
Our dogs have been attending Top Dog Kennels since 2016 and have always received 5 Star treatment. One of our dogs, Belle, suffered a traumatic experience in her previous home and had a number of trust issues when she arrived to us. However, whilst being kenneled at Top Dogs over the years, her confidence has grown around other dogs and people. I noticed her regress during Covid due to not being able to go to Top Dog. Both my dogs love going there and walk off with the staff wagging tails and never looking back at us. It's their home away from home!! Thank you Margot and all your lovely staff for a top class service.
Best care for our dog! My pup attends hydrotherapy sessions here for 8 months now. We're delighted with the professionalism, care and attention he gets here. Nicest crew and they did wonders to the condition of his hips! Vet surgeon confirmed they did an outstanding job with him and it's amazing how much he's improved since we started attending hydroteraphy here twice a week. Cannot recommend this place enough. ❤️
Great guys. We have our dog Sasha, a Collie, in for the hydrotherapy sessions and massage after she suffered a vestibular issue. I would highly recommend for dogs who need some rehabilitation. Sasha is almost back to her old self thanks to the great work by the therapists here. So knowledgeable and you can stay and watch what's going on which was a relief 😌. They also recommend exercises for home so you can be involved in your best pal's recovery. Well done guys. Can't thank you enough. 🤗
Would not recommend if you like to feel reassured that your dog is truly being taken care of. There is no option to view the actual facilities and your dog is taken from you / brought back to you in the entrance car park. No updates are provided while your dog is there, and when we collected our dog the staff member complained that she barked too often which we know only ever happens when she is left alone constantly or for long periods of time. Wouldn’t use again.
Have been attending hydrotherapy sessions for our Golden Retriever. Amie and Gang have been doing an amazing job to help recover muscle to his leg after it was broken.
Left my dog here a few times and they seemed ok. The last time we were advised by one of the staff to get a bark collar for him if we wanted to bring him back again. I asked them what a bark collar was and they implied they were humane. I checked with our vets who said these devices are not classed as humane and they would never recommend them. I'm not comfortable leaving him anywhere that would recommend using that sort of device. Especially as our dog almost never barks at home!
We recently left our dog in for 10 days. He had never been in kennels before and we were very impressed. He seemed very happy and was in great spirits when we collected him Whenever I text I always received an update and since getting him home he has been alot.calmer meeting other dogs so the socialisation was excellent for.him. the only downside is its always so busy so hard to get a spot 😉thank you for minding Busby so well.
We have left our fur baby at Kennels and Day care at Top Dog several times now. She seems very happy to be dropped off and the staff are getting to know her now. Very professionally run. Thank you Margot and team.
My dog absolutely loves his stays at Top Dogs. He doesn’t even look back when I drop him off, he runs straight towards the play area to have fun with his little pals! Margot and team take such good care of all their “guests”, and I really appreciate that peace of mind.
