Seàn was an amazing pet and house sitter! He was super communicative and took amazing care of my dog Nala and cat Bruce. They were happy and loved while I was away- I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for the two little fur babies! He sent great pictures and checked in every day so I had nothing to worry about. On top of all that, he also kept my place immaculately clean and left my place in wonderful shape. We can’t wait to have him back to sit and I would highly recommend him to anyone and everyone looking for a sitter!
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!
Kristi was an absolutely incredible sitter -- I think our favorite one ever! She was easy to communicate with, kind and personable, and took great care of our pets and our house. It was the first time we had left both our dog and our cat with a TH sitter and Kristi went above and beyond. She was very self-sufficient but provided fun updates and pictures and our pets loved her. Highly recommend!
Best house and pet sitters we've ever had! They definitely gave our cat and dog plenty of love and attention.
Sharon and Milton are two of the nicest people I've met in my life. This is my first time having a sitter fly in from out of state and it was so simple, stress-free, and didn't affect any part of me getting ready for my trip, leaving for my trip or returning from my trip. Sharon was very communicative before, during and after I returned. It just couldn't have been more wonderful! If you're considering applicants stop looking and choose Sharon and Milton. They are just delightfully wonderful wonderful people!! They go above and beyond just housesitting and pet sitting! Tidy, clean, respectful down to earth and the most kind and loving people. I do believe Milton really is a cat whisper!! They slept with my sweet babies, and even followed silly grooming instruction on one of my cats. Would have them sit for me absolutely anytime.
Someone was smiling down on us when Kevin and Mary clicked on our very first House Sitter advert. They are straightforward, pleasant, reliable and fun. They kept in touch about their own plans when their flights were delayed. They tactfully left the house when our own cancelled flights meant we were staying a few hours longer than first planned. They sent just the right amount of photos, videos and texts of our cat while we were away! We all loved that. And on our return, oh my word, the house fairies had been to visit! They somehow managed to walk the perfect line between improving everything, without interfering at all. Clean, tidy, replenished. They asked what food we’d like on our return and boy did they deliver! Home made bean stew :-) and different things for the children. Really kind and generous. Communication was clear and also witty..! They dealt with the churn of small mammals our “somewhat independent” cat brought through the flap without complaint. They are a really nice couple, exuding a lovely American warmth and charm. It was a real pleasure, Kevin and Mary, thank you.
Raquel was simply terrific! She and her husband, Miguel, had to fill in at the last minute for another sitter who had a death in her family. This meant that the length of the stay and sitting they had originally signed up for doubled. Completely undaunted, they did a GREAT job for us. Our cat and dog got lots of love and affection, and plenty of exercise, food, and rest. Our house and yard were cared for with equal conscientiousness. It was wonderful for us to be able to rely so completely on these super zeewoi. We recommend them 100 percent!
My husband and I are so grateful for Cendy staying with our ~1yr old cat for nearly a full month. We were nervous to leave her for so long but Cendy had Wilma literally eating out of the palm of his hand and snuggling with him in no time. Cendy was incredibly communicative with us and attentive to Wilma consistently for the entire duration of the sit which was such a relief and gave us the piece-of-mind needed to fully enjoy our trip. We returned back to an impeccably clean apartment and a very content kitty. For the first few days back Wilma was definitely looking around for Cendy, missing her buddy. We (and Wilma!) would welcome Cendy back any time, especially for a longer stay knowing how responsible of a sitter he was. Couldn't recommend enough!
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!
Cat and Paul were wonderful sitters - our cats were contented and calm when we returned. And the house was spotless. Plus Paul mowed our entire yard including the back meadow - what a surprise! We very much enjoyed visiting with them as well and getting to know them. Highly recommend :)
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!
Alison has provided reliable care for our birds for the last 10 years. She is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about birds and always takes on board any special requirements regarding medication or specific needs. We can always rest easy when we are away while Alison takes care of our birds. 🙂 …
Alison is a real gem find 💎 💎 She cared for my Girls (Hens) like her own. And she looked after a sick one with tender care and looove… I highly recommend her… Thanks sooo sooo much Alison🌹🌹❤️❤️ …
Matt and Fiona were fantastic. This was the first time we had stayed away from our 3 month old puppy Benson so I was very nervous but he was absolutely in Safe hands. Matt and Fiona sent me pictures of Benson having a fantastic time, he had his own room with a crate (which they provided) and in the morning took him to the beach which he loves. When we need somewhere for Benson again in the future we will definitely contact Paws in safe hands. It is like a home from home and much more relaxing than putting him in kennels. Highly recommend!
This is the first time I've used Paws in Safe Hands and would definitely recommend them. Matt and Fiona were very caring and my 2 dogs obviously settled in well. They were in the house with their own dogs and treated as part of the family! I wish Matt and Fiona the very best in their new venture . Sheila Beattie
Fabulous home from home for my pet Jack. He loved every moment there playing with all the other dogs and enjoying the beach walks and play with Matt too. Safe enclosed environment to keep your pet inside and outside the house. Jack just loves it there and feels very safe under Matt and Fiona's supervision ❤
I couldn't have survived these past few months without Matt and Fiona.. I suffered two strokes and without even thinking, they collected my three dogs daily to take for long beach walks. My three wait (not patiently) for Matts limo to arrive and transport them to the beach. One of my dogs was funny around men, but absolutely loves Matt. They are treated like one of the family and you only have to mention their name and they run to the window.. testament to how much they are loved and treated.. can't recommend them highly enough. Young dogs or old ones, all respected and well looked after and great for socialisation when walking with other dogs.
A big thankyou to Matt and Fiona , mums dog Cody just loves getting out for his walks . The service they provide is 5 star. His paws are definitely in safe hands amazing people they treat Cody as a member of their own family, I can’t recommend them enough. Big thankyou from Cody too xx
The best place for the best hounds.
Top service!
I can't speak highly enough of the staff at Country Canines Luxury Boarding! We recently left our two dogs with them for just under a fortnight while we were away on holidays. Having never left them for such a long time, we were quite nervous about it. However, the daily photos and updates from the Country Canines helped to reassure us that they were being well looked after and having a great time! The staff went above and beyond before and during their stay to make sure they got the best care possible! Thanks again for your attentiveness - we'll definitely use you again in future!
My boys love going here! Well kept and secure. Girls have always been very nice and friendly if we've had any questions x
Can’t thank you enough for Armin’s first time overnight. We were recommended from another dog owners. Although this is more like a 5 star resort rather than kennels! He was treated like a king and we were so grateful for the photo updates 😍 It was more than worth the trip from Bangor and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to our family & friends. Armin can’t wait to come back 🐶🐾
Brilliant facilities, fantastic staff.
Excellent service. The girls are all so good with the dogs. Also very friendly and welcoming! Highly recommended
4 paws doggy daycare has been great for our wee Hercules he loves going every week and the property is very well laid out and they have loads of different areas for activities. Hercules favourite is the built in swimming pool. The owner Irene is brilliant to speak to about any animal issues and was able to advise and reassure us when our elderly cat was ill last year. I always recommend 4 paws to anyone I would meet in the street. The overnight service is a great help a home away from home.
Amazing place, my dog loves it, comes home exhausted from the interaction with other dogs and playing around the fantastic play areas Irene has created. Irene is the ultimate dog whisperer, knowledgeable and full of encouragement for a new dog mum like me. Assisted by Kelly the two ladies are always welcoming their furry friends come rain or snow. Thank you both for the wonderful work you do.
We are so thankful that Ellie our Golden Retriever has (what she would consider) a second home. We are able to head to work with peace of mind that she is not only well looked after but gets to socialise and play all day. She comes home exhausted. We also appreciate 4 paws having an over night service where Ellie has all of her home comforts in a familiar place. We can drop her off and relax knowing she is cared for just like at home, and of course having a great time.
Irene is the most amazing person who loves all the dogs she looks after. She cares for each dogs individual needs. It’s home from home for my wee lady. She runs to Irene and Tryra every time she goes on her “holidays”. She’s so happy when she’s there. I feel totally reassured she is in the best hands when she’s with Irene. The best doggy day care for us.
I have never met anyone with a better understanding of a dogs needs than Irene. My dog is very timid, but in just one hour I could see the change in her. I saw the other dogs all interested, calm, friendly, mental and physical interaction. The dogs all shapes and sizes were obviously very happy and enjoying their daycare at 4Paws.
Irene is the most amazing lady. All dogs love her. My dogs have been going since 4 Paws started which is a long time ago. The excitement knowing they are going to Irene starts first thing in the morning. I don't have to say anything. Quite often an excitement poo is done before we leave home or going into 4 Paws. There are lots of activities for the dogs and Irene is always thinking up new ideas/ changes. The dogs dress up for Halloween, Christmas etc and get their photos taken. I don't know how Irene does it but group photos always have all dogs looking at the camera. Irene just speaks and all dogs listen. 4 Paws is great for socialising your dogs. Irene is definitely my dogs other mum. I know the dogs are safe and well cared for. I would highly recommend 4 Paws, you won't be disappointed, give Irene a call. It will be the best decision you ever make for your dog.
Our experience of doggy daycare has been absolutely fantastic. Irene is very knowledgeable and genuinely passionate about meeting our dogs’ needs, ensuring they are happy and well cared for. We drop our ‘girls’ off (totally excited and tails wagging!), confident that they will be safe and having fun until we pick them up again. Would recommend - 5⭐️ service! 🐶🐶
I would highly recommend. My wee dog has been going here for over 9 years. A very well run doggy daycare and home from home for doggy boarding. My dog just loves Irene and her assistant. Every dog is treated so well sometimes they are reluctant to leave as they have so much fun. Irene understands dogs and each dog is treated a though they were her own.
Irene goes above and beyond for all dogs in her care, my pup has a great time and can’t wait to go in! Be prepared for fancy dress days 🐾🦇 …
A wonderful business run by the most caring and knowlegable owner 'Auntie' Irene McFaul. I wouldnt dream of going anywhere else.
Alpha 1 Dog Hotel are extremely professional and passionate about dogs, they are the only people we trust with our Buzz while we are away. He really enjoys going there as he gets lots of attention and cuddles with good exercise. We can recommend them and give them 5 stars.
My mum's dog loves it here. She's always excited to go in for her 'holidays'.
Ian and Claire are brilliant with the dogs. The kennels are spotless Heidi just loves the VIP kennels.
Rosie had a wee trial half day at kennels where she will board for 2 nights during Rachel's wedding. Owners said she was well behaved (SHOCK) She came out for collection with that happy mouth open tongue panting look on her face saw us and ran straight back in again to the kennel owner. Obviously enjoyed it. She had the VIP suite with sofa and TV. So we're really happy and content to leave her with such lovely people in a 5 star kennel. Now she's knackered they took her for 3 walks between 9am and 4:30pm.
Ian and all the staff at Alpha 1 dog hotel clearly take great pride in making all their guests welcome and spoilt. Highly recommend this brilliant facility. I wouldn't leave my dog anywhere else. Thanks guys.
Left our 2 dogs with Ian & Clair for 3wks, Alpha 1 Dog Hotel is our to go place great service both dogs very happy, highly recommend this establishment.
Best place ever! Owners are lovely couple...true dog lovers and they make a point of getting to know your loved pet. They treat each dog individually, and look after them like they are their own. Personally, I wouldn't want to leave my dog anywhere else. I know he will be happy.
Ian and Claire are fantastic. We have always trusted them to look after our late big boy Skye and our latest addition Juno. They have helped us so much over the years and given us great advice. The service they provide is exceptional and I highly recommend them.
Home from home for both Maxx & Jaxx, so easy to leave the boys as they couldn't be in better hands.
Truly professional family run business. Spotlessly clean kennels of the highest quality. Ian and Claire looked after our dogs impeccably, including all their medical needs. Thanks so much.
Strone Farm Kennels and Cattery is hands down the best place to house your fluffy friends when you are on holidays. I have been taking my cat and dog here for over 15 years and I am extremely satisfied with the service provided. Karen and all the staff are absolutely amazing and will treat your animals as if they where their own. The premises has underfloor heating, is immaculately clean and very spacious. All the animals are fed with the best food possible and are exercised regularly. I wouldn’t trust anyone else to look after my fur babies and to top it all of it is very reasonably priced.
Left our cat here with Karen and her team. Lovely homely atmosphere. Cattery very peaceful. Staff very friendly. She was very contented and well looked after. Will definitely use again.
Karen and all her staff at these kennels are just wonderful! We moved to the area last year and were anxious about using new kennels for our dog, however Karen put us at ease and our dog loves his holidays there! No matter when we leave him Karen always keeps me updated on how he is doing ... Wouldn't use anywhere else!
I cannot highly recommend Strone Farm Kennels enough. I have been taking my dog here for several years. The quality of care is of the highest level coupled with excellent standards of accommodation and exercise.
Very good as it was short notice to get our dog booked in. Lovely staff, very understanding and patient. Recommend these kennels. Will be using these kennels again
Fantastic establishment. It was our small dog's first kennel experience and although she would be with our other dog we were a bit worried. We shouldn't have. They both cam out very happy and we have no qualms about them going in again. We'll done to the team.
My cat, Fiyero was well looked after during his stay here. I was very impressed with the whole layout dropping him off for his 10 night stay and Fiyero was so chilled when I picked him up. 10 out of 10!
This was my 3rd time leaving my 2 dogs at Strone Farm Kennels and I would not use any other kennels again Karen and her staff have a great way with the dogs they get their daily walks when I leave them there they are not nervous and when I collect them my dogs would jump up around karen ect which is a good sign I would highly recommend to anyone who are going on a holiday and looking for a kennal
Left our Koda in with Karen and the team for 8 nights. No issues at all and he's a very tired boy after his holidays. Thank you again
Highly recommended, our two dogs love this place, staff so friendly and caring for the dogs.
Really good doggy daycare & kennals
Highly recommend Dream Dogs to any dog owners. Yasmine walked my 2 cocker spaniels for a week while my husband was away on a trip and it was such a huge help! My dogs loved her, she was so good with both of them and sent me lovely photos of their adventures while they were out. I will definitely use this service again in the future 🥰 …
Yasmine is amazing at chaperoning doggos! Having our fur babies at our wedding was a must but also very nerve wracking! She knows dogs so well and has them very well behaved especially considering they are in a new place with so many people around! Would 110% recommend!
Yasmine has walked our dogs for 3 years now, the girls love her and picture updates when we are away of the dogs on their walk always make us feel better.
I had heard great things about Dream Dogs NI as I have countless friends who have had Yasmine walk their dogs, bring them to their wedding, or look after them at overnight stays. I contacted Dream Dogs NI on Instagram and booked in for our dogs to attend our wedding. Emily came round the week before and took our 2 pups for a walk to get to know them. One of our dogs is very spoiled and doesn’t like new people at all. Emily was great! Our two just loved her as she was calm and kind and had a really nice way with them. Emily then brought our dogs to our wedding so we could get some photos, this was one of my favourite parts of the day. The photos are fantastic and I will cherish them forever. Emily walked the dogs and let them out to pee and fed them before their bedtime. Emily even sent me photos throughout the day of our dogs, this was a lovely touch. Would recommend this service to anyone. Your fur babies could not be in better hands 🥰 thank you x
My hubby and I have just returned from honeymoon & Dream dogs NI looked after our wee Misty. We got daily pictures and gorgeous videos showing us all her adventures. On our return- a late flight, they had picked up some necessities for us, the house was immaculate & we had a very relaxed happy girl. Already planning our next trip! Thank you Dream Dogs xxx
Yasmine is very professional and helpful when it came to helping us finding last minute dog sitting for our puppy to allow us to go on our holiday, and Dream Dogs NI has been our go to ever since. Corrin has been an absolute dream to have looking after our puppy. It gives us alot of reassurance that Luna is being cared for by professionals who will love and treat your dog as their own. Corrin sent daily updates and photos of how Luna was getting on which was great to get. Corrin took the time before the holiday to meet us both in her home and for a walk to give both Luna and ourselves reassurance that she was going to be well cared for. It is safe to say Luna loves Corrin and has many successful stays since. Yasmine has a great team of Dog Aunties and I would recommend Dream dogs NI to any dog owner who needs their fur ball looked after for any events or holidays.
It was the first time I had left my dogs ( including a reactive dog and a wee oldie with arthritis, hearing and sight issues) so was concerned how it would go, but Dream Dogs NI made it so easy for both me and my pups. Dogs were so relaxed and happy which made it so much easier for me. Cannot recommend Dream Dogs and ‘Auntie Aine’ highly enough. In fact it was so stress free for the dogs and me I’ve booked my next trip!
Yasmine dog sat 4 dachshunds overnight with absolutely no issues. She regularly posted on social media (with our permission) to update us on her stay, as well as regular text updates. She was a dream to have in the house, it was as if she hadn’t even been there. Highly recommend and would use again.
Due to me working away a lot, I’ve had a number of the Dream Dogs ladies doing pet sitting at my house. I have 2 Labradors and a cat. I have always returned to extremely content animals and a very tidy home. This is a very professional and friendly service & I can’t recommend all the team enough. Dylan, Finn & Bruno can’t wait to see you all again x
