"A relaxing and long time away from home made possible by the best pet & house sitters we could have asked for!" Judy and Steph went the extra mile over their entire one month stay at our home. Both our cats became fast friends thanks to the care and dedication provided for them. We were routinely updated with spectacular photos of our furry girls throughout our leave that helped us be anxiety-free the entire time. Even our older shy cat spent time sleeping on their laps or hanging out on shoulders. As for the house, Judy and Steph left it even cleaner than when they arrived! We had a few tasks to maintain the lawn and potted plants outside, which were completed perfectly. They even tended to our vegetable garden where needed! During a 'risk of severe hail storm' alert, Judy and Steph kept us in the loop and went even further to place potted plants under shelter out of harms way. In summary, we recommend Judy and Steph and would happily have them return again if our schedules cross paths.
Jenny
Young was the perfect house sitter for us. From the moment you meet her, you can tell she is animal person and is detailed oriented and will take great care of your house and pets. She exudes a peaceful and grounded energy. She was comfortable with each our pets from the high energy dog to the shy skittish cat. She played with the dog in the yard every day and took him on walks. And she was also very attentive to our cats and figured out how to maintain the equilibrium in the relationship between the cats and dog. She is an excellent communicator; she asked questions when our directions weren't clear and kept us updated on the pets. She is also an amazing photographer. She sent us pics of our pets every day that totally captured each of their personalities.

Becca was fantastic - we cannot say enough about how great she is as a pet and house sitter and as a human being! Becca committed to the sit 8 months in advance and was great with her responsiveness in communication during the long lead up to the sit. She arrived early and got the low downs on the animals and house stuff prior to us leaving. She woke up crazy early to help us get to the airport and picked us up when we returned, which made the traveling so much easier on our end. She left the house spot-less (and this is no exaggeration), with the linens cleaned, and a wonderful meal waiting for us upon our return. She is an absolute gem of a person with a great sense of humor and a kind and compassionate nature, and she really enjoys the animals in her care. Our dog and cat were very well cared for and totally at ease upon our return. If you are lucky enough to have Becca sit for you, you will be very pleased at how well she does the job!

Wow! Just wow! We cannot say enough about the care and compassion Trisha and John provided to our cats and our home. We are always somewhat nervous about a new pet sitter in our home, but that all faded when we met this wonderful couple. They provided daily updates as requested, complete with pictures, videos and personalized captions. Upon our return, we were greeted by happy and content kitties. There was no sign of anxiety in Tika! Yea!!! Our home was clean, the sheets and towels were washed and bed remade! They even left behind thank you notes and little gifts! What a breath of fresh air these two individuals are! We hope to have them back again soon.

Florence is everything you want in a cat sitter! We have two cats that need a lot of human attention. One takes multiple medications twice a day and they both are used to eating on their own schedule and having people around so it is always very important to us to find a pet sitter that will be spending a lot of time in the apartment and that doesn't mind being very attentive. We were able to meet Florence before our trip and felt 100% confident that she would take great care of our cats. Florence is comfortable giving medication, she sent us photos and updates and left our apartment spotless. We were so happy that we had her come back the following week when we went away again for a short trip! We will definitely contact Florence again whenever we travel and hope that she is available!

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!

Lindsey watched our cat and dog for a long weekend when we went out of town. She was a very communicative sitter sending frequent pictures and voice notes with updates. She did a great job of following their schedules and giving them attention. The animals seemed to be happy and relaxed when we returned home and I believe Lindsey enjoyed getting to discover all of the eateries our town has to offer. A win-win for everyone!

If Macie and Roman ever apply to your post for a house or pet sit, I strongly encourage you to jump at the. offer. You will not be disappointed. They are among the top (if not the top) sitter I've ever had and I've been on this site for years. Primarily, they are very organized. In the weeks and days leading up to the sit, Macie and Roman kept me abreast of their plans and status. I felt very comfortable in the days leading up to the sit because I knew the plan we made to exchange the keys and walk them through the instructions would work as planned. Second, Macie and Roman really care. When they got to my apartment after a very long morning of traveling, I explained the care instructions and they were very attentive and cared about the details - asking very specific questions on how to care for my cat and apartment. I had some pretty specific rules about how to feed my cat and take care of him and Macie and Roman followed those exactly. Third, Macie and Roman make you feel comfortable while you are away. I got daily or twice daily updates about my cat. I got pictures which made me feel like my cat was having a good time. My cat came out of hiding very quickly and was snuggling with them and letting them hold him. It was so nice to see the pictures of them all bonding! Macie and Roman have a calming energy towards animals for sure! Macie and Roman were also very responsive when I reached out first - replying within 30 minutes. I really appreciated that. Fourth, Roman and Macie will take good care of your apartment/house. I came back to a SPOTLESS apartment. The towels were washed. The apartment had been vacuumed. The kitchen was clean. The dishwasher had been run. Everything was in its place when I returned. Honestly, cleaner than when I left it which is difficult since I am a very clean person. Macie and Roman also respects your property. We had a room we asked them not to enter and they respected that. In short, Macie and Roman are amazing. I would have them back in a heartbeat. If you have any questions I would be happy to answer them. Ask Macie and Roman for my number.

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 :)

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.

They took excellent care of our dogs and we're so accommodating to us. Fantastic set up & very safety conscious. It was brilliant knowing our dogs were in such a friendly and safe environment in the countryside.
We have left our 3 staffies with Julie several times now and are very happy. The kennels are clean and spacious and there is a larger play area which is used to exercise the dogs. Wouldn't leave mine anywhere else.
Julie is incredible. The kennels are excellent. I trust her completely. My dogs love her and are always loving cared for. Highly recommend Johnduffswood Kennels.

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!

Maisie 🐶 is a very regular visitor to Oaklands for overnights and daycare and she couldn’t be happier here. Ber just loves dogs and always gives Maisie a great welcome. She gets loads of exercise, walks in the forest behind them and runs in the fields. She always comes home exhausted ….and very very happy. Maisie loves playing with Ber’s own little pooches and they are great friends. Overall it’s a home away from home for her 🐾😍🐶
Our gorgeous dog, Theo, has been going to Oakland Boarding Kennels for over a year now. He absolutely loves it. While there he is so loved, so well cared for and is very much part of the family. The owner makes every dog feel welcome. I've never known anyone to care and love dogs the way she does. She takes them for walks in the fields and the woods, she plays with them and gives them all her attention. The facilities at Oakland Boarding Kennels are second to none. Everywhere is clean, dry, safe and secure. Each dog has their own space, and they also have the use of a large run. I can't recommend Oakland Boarding Kennels highly enough.
Our boy Kobe has been staying with Ber at Oaklands for the past few years and we couldn't be happier with the care he gets there. There is loads of room for long walks and playing around. Kobe loves it there, it's home away from home for him. I would highly recommend and have already to many friends.
Wood fired stove and a walk in the forest ..what more could my dog ask for . ? Exceptional care and attention was given to my dog on its annual visit to Oakland's kennels . These kennels are heated with a wood fired stove for extra cosiness. The owner Ber is a master at minding dogs and this shows in her attention to detail. I would highly recommend her kennels to anyone.
Our two dogs , a setter end a retriever, love their time in Oaklands. Ber is so kind and welcoming to them and they really love the forest walks. I have full confidence in the care provided in this fabulous country home The kennels are always pristine and the dogs just run to Ber , with tails wagging ,when they arrive. FIVE STAR! Elsa , Kilkenny.
We have no worries at all leaving our retriever, Roxie, at Oaklands Kennels. She loves staying there. Ber looks after her so well taking her out around the fields getting lots of exercise. She has her own warm, clean stall to rest in. All the dogs are extremely well looked after. Ber is exceptional in her kindness providing them with a home from home.
When I’m away my little yorkie Ted stays in Oakland Kennels in the excellent care of Ber. Ber has a great connection with dogs & my little fella feels the warmth & kindness she generates. He is brought on lovely walks through the woods & Ber sends me videos & photos & that gives me great peace of mind because I see how happy he is. Thumbs up for Ber
I left my two dogs to Ber. They got brought on so many walks in the gorgeous woods. They didn’t want to come home. Highly recommend in such a relaxed country environment!!
Bernie provides a fabulous service. Our dogs come back happier than ever. Bernie brings them on amazing walks through the woods, highly highly recommend
Wonderful care and attention to my Ruby and ted on there visits to Oakland kennels Kennels heated and daily walks in the woods Highly recommend ber is fantastic with the dogs Definitely 5 star boarding kennels
