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.

We are thoroughly pleased with and impressed by Daniel's kind, generous, and careful care of our cat and our house. He is a committed and experienced sitter who completely understands his role and responsibilities and also how to gently win the confidence and affection of a pet. He is an excellent communicator, and he kept us regularly up to date on our cat's well being--sending us texts and photos at least once/week as we requested. Our cat who is a little afraid of new people, grew fond of him, and we have returned to a very calm, contented cat. We highly recommend Daniel, and we ourselves would be thrilled to engage him again when the need arises.

Kira was the best sitter we have ever had! I chose Kira because of her reviews, ability to sit during the dates I needed and willingness to communicate with my daughter/neighbor who co-parents Colby with us. I am always a bit anxious about having someone in my home and trusting them with our fluffy son. Kira put us at ease almost immediately. I received photos and videos everyday throughout the stay. I got updates on Colby’s activity and the fun they were having together. My heart felt full knowing that Colby was being well loved and cared for. Additionally, Kira was so kind to keep us posted on any deliveries that arrived at the house. Finally, when I arrived home, the house was tidy and clean! Again, I am so grateful that Kira was there keeping the house and my cat safe! I hope she will come back and sit again. I know Colby would love to see her again.

Sabre is a sweet, honest person who stepped up at the very last moment (after the prior sitter flaked out) to watch our dog and cat for 17 days. When there were a couple minor accidents, she informed us of them right away. One involved a burnt pan (easy to do if you’re not familiar with an induction stovetop) which she offered to replace. Sabre also washed the towels and sheets, and made up the bed before we got home. The yard was pooper scooped and litter box was clean. Pets seemed well-cared for. When she had to leave town for several hours one day, she made sure to arrange for our neighbor take care of the pets. Additionally, I appreciated how she didn’t assume that it would be ok to bring her cat. When we found out she was going to keep her cat in a kennel during her stay here, we told her she could bring him which worked out fine. Overall, I would confidently recommend Sabre to watch your pets and house.

My partner and I left our cat Mango in Lindsey's care for a month so that we could get married. We were going from FL to ME, so it was a long way from home. We were gone for a month. Picking the right houses sitter was important. We are so glad we picked Lindsey (and she picked us). From before Lindsey got on her plan to fly down, until she was back home again Lindsey was communicative, considerate and positive. We felt like we had a family member staying at our place and because of who she is, Mango and our home's well being was a weight off our mind during the wedding. If the need arises in the future we will definitely be giving her the right of first refusal. Thank you so much Lindsey!

I thoroughly enjoyed working with Kathryn! I needed to extend dates for the sit after we had set it up and she was able to accommodate this so was actually here from 10/4-20. She was timely and communicative throughout - and she is a very nice person. She kept the house really tidy and followed all instructions well. My cats took to her quickly. When I returned, they had been very well cared for and seemed fully content even though I'd never left them for long before. While away, I reached out to Kathryn by text several times regarding deliveries, etc. She was very prompt in responding and adept at handling issues as they arose. I highly recommend Kathryn as a house sitter - and would happily work with her again!

If you are looking for someone to take care of your fur babies and your house while you're away, Daniel is your guy! I had discovered zeewoi just a couple of weeks before I was to leave on vacation and I was not only apprehensive if the website was too good to be true, but also under a real time crunch. I reached out to over 100 local sitters and several possibilities fell through. I was confident I would find the right sitter and when Daniel applied for the sit and I started to text and converse with him, I knew I had found the perfect sitter for my two cats! Daniel was upbeat and positive, articulate and personable, warm and caring, and he asked all the right questions about Lilly and Eli (I hadn't had the time to complete my Welcome Guide, yet!?!). I shared that I had an easy cat and problem cat -- Lilly, who is sweet, social and eats dry food, and Eli who is skittish, was periodically pooping outside the kitty litter box and was eating prescription canned food twice a day mixed with a probiotic and stool firmer. I asked if he thought he was up for the job and he happily said he was. Since he flew all the was from Chicago, I thought the least my husband and I could do was pick him up at the airport. When he arrived, he pulled out his notebook. He patiently walked with me as I reviewed kitty care, showed him around the house, and where he would be sleeping. He immediately picked up Lilly who was excited about meeting her new friend and Eli bugged out and down the stairs to the basement (his favorite hiding place!). We got Daniel connected to the internet, set him up at our dining room table and headed off to airport, leaving our house and kitties in the best of hands. Daniel wanted to make sure I felt comfortable and assured while we were away. He made sure to text with me every other day (he had asked my preference earlier), sent photos of Lilly being her cute self while Eli hid during the day although he gave me assurances that he was eating his food and using the litter box (there were a few accidents, but Daniel never complained about these additional duties). When we returned from our vacation, the house was also spotless and well cared for and Daniel had even washed the sheets for me! It is with utter happiness and complete confidence that I recommend Daniel as a fantastic Sitter. He is trustworthy, responsible, caring, and competent, and you can rest assured that both your house and sweet pets will be watched over and treated with TLC -- and will truly be in the best of hands while you are away!

Jose was a wonderful pet/house sitter for us recently. We highly recommend him. He was wonderfully reliable and responsible and took such good care of our two pets. On short notice Jose drove down from Grass Valley to the East Bay for a bit of a quiet get-away while working a really hard job teaching online. We know how hard that is firsthand and partly why we needed our own get-away for a last-minute backpacking trip. We have a recently rescued pit bull and a rescued cat that we're still introducing to each other to make sure the dog doesn't eat the cat (as he seems to want to), and the cat doesn't blind the dog (as she would if he tried to eat her). That might be more background than is needed in a review but Jose made us feel comfortable about everything because of how conscientious and responsible he clearly is. We could tell when we talked to him that he was genuinely kind and eminently trustworthy. We are very grateful and hope Jose was happy with everything too because we know what a value his care was to us. Jose truly deserves any and all house-sitting gigs that strike his interest. Ours was not the easiest and he was amazing. Get him if you can.

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.

I whole-heartedly recommend Carly and her partner Fanny to sit for you! They were fabulous and reliable house sitters from start to finish. Carly was timely and thoughtful in all of her communications and let us know the state of affairs in our apartment with our cat and plant babies while we were away. They followed our directions to a 'T.' We came home to find a happy cat, thriving plants, a spotless apartment and laundered linens. We would definitely consider contacting them again to house sit for us!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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

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
