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!!
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!
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!
Lindsey was super communicative, friendly, responsible, and an excellent sitter for our two cats. When we returned, our home was clean and our cats relaxed and happy as if we had never left ! She sent us photos and updates every day, as requested, and when a random mishap occurred in the apartment, she let us know right away and was proactive in handling issue. We felt like both our cats and our home were in very caring, capable and respectful hands. Excellent! Thank you Lindsey!
Quinn was an amazing sitter for my cat Moon! She regularly checked in with updates on moon while we were away on a two week vacation, and seemed to give her plenty of attention, play with her, etc. Communication was easy and she left our apartment spotless after departing. Highly recommend her as a pet sitter!
Marianna was an incredible house sitter and cat sitter. She gave our property and sweet kitty top notch care. She is kind, easy to communicate with, thorough, etc. Would highly recommend her, you will not be disappointed.
Kathy and Ron arrived at our home with a most fantastical toy for our cats and a giant apple pie. Need I say more? They are very experienced sitters and brought personal items that they prefer. We knew we were leaving out cats in good hands. A large part of their 'job' was hand watering our garden and Ron took that in stride. Everything is thriving. Our cats are usually distant with new people but we received photos of them keeping Kathy and Ron company in various situations which was reassuring. They clearly won our cats over. Although Ron and Kathy had a ferry to catch on their last day, they took time to wash their linens and hang them on the clothesline. They also left us a gorgeous plant for our garden. We would very much like to have them back for a longer sit if possible.
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!
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!
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!
Highly recommend Cookstown Kennells, Michael and his Team are so professional and caring. Milo was with them for 10 nights and she loved it, her first time away from home at 7 years so obviously we were a bit anxious. Michael reassured us sending videos of Milo having a great time. Thank you Michael, finally we have found the perfect stay for Milo.
I cannot thank the lovely people at Cookstown Boarding Kennels enough for looking after mine and my partners dogs (our babies) Ruby and Rosie for the week while we went on our first Holiday in 4 years as we were so nervous leaving them anywhere. We were very anxious and Micheal put our minds and rest with updates that they were both getting on amazing. It really made our holiday so much better as we were so sad about leaving them in the first place and didnt know how they would get on. The female Staff member (i didn't get her name)was absolutely amazing, we knew we were leaving the girls with great people. She was so lovely and you could see how brilliant she was with all the animals. Also the Kennels themselves were so clean and well kept such a lovely spot. When we got home after collecting the girls we were so delighted to see a little giftbag in the girls belongings it includied a certificate for good behaviour and some dog toys and Treats it was such a lovelyi gift. Thanks a million I cannot recommend Cookstown Boarding Kennels enough.
Top class kennels for our Rottweiler Ozzie, and our 2 cats! No complaints from them! Ozzie takes off into his kennel with excitement! Never had any problems! Michael and rest of his staff look after them so well!
Great people to deal with, very friendly and professional. They took great care of our dog, who is quite nervous of strangers. Would recommend 👌 …
We just trialled Cookstown Kennels before a long stay for our baby and couldn’t recommend Michael and his lovely colleague Marie more! Fabulous kennels, shown around for first time to feel comfortable before leaving our GSD. Quality service and the team have put our mind at ease regarding kennels for our fella. Keeping dogs separate is a must but together if siblings is brilliant. Kovu is in great spirits after unlike our experience with another kennel so the team must really be great at minding all sorts of dogs, especially big babies! Thank you guys, cannot wait to be back ❤️ the goody bag and certificate at the end was such a lovely addition and really appreciated ❤️
This place was recommended by multiple people and even though it is long drive for me we decided to leave our pup for 2 weeks there. People are very friendly and place is nicely done and very clean. Price is reasonable and you dont need to bring much as everything needed is provided for the dog. You wont get any pictures or videos but on the other hand you really not worry when you are away. We will try to use this place for every trip if possible.
Fantastic, friendly and professional. Our two huskies spent 8 days with Michael and his team. This was our first time using Cookstown Boarding Kennels and will definitely use them again. Highly recommended!
We left our cat at the hotel for 12 days. Micheal was very professional and caring. Highly recommended. Even gave her a little goody bag going home and she stopped playing with it since.
left my golden retriever there 2 weeks ago was very upset as first time leaving him girl was so nice she brought me and my daughter around to show where he sleep and then play so i knew he in safe hands and when i went back he in spotless pen and looked happy thanks again for minding him so well
Michael and his team always provide our cat with the best of care at Cookstown. We couldn't ask for more. Thank you
Couldn’t recommend Gaelle & Moggy Doggy Minders enough! My dog Molly stayed with Gaelle for 9 nights while I was away! I was very nervous sending molly away for the first time but gaelle is an absolute lady! She send pictures/videos of molly the whole time I was away! Molly was well fed and had lots of socialization with the other dogs! Molly was picked up and dropped home late in the evening free of charge.. gaelle is trained in dog first aid and has experience in dog therapy. Molly came home as bubbly as ever! I will definitely be using Moggy Doggy Minders again even as a day care once or twice a week. I wouldn’t go to anyone else! 🐾
Gaelle took our 1 year old very lively mini JR for 2 nights. What a great service, collected and dropped back to our house. Gaelle kept us posted on how Molly was getting on and videos of her having a great time. Would highly recommend.
Such an excellent service to have for your dog. The pickup and drop-off option is a real game changer. Gaelle is super at offering your pet a great day of socialising with other pets and lots of exercise. Definitely intend on sending my dog for lots more visits. Highly recommend
Gaelle provides an excellent service at doggy day care, Coco is always excited to see her coming and has a great time there! And the regular videos & photos through the day are brilliant!
Gaelle is a lovely lady and looked after my dog very well. I would highly recommend.
Excellent service. I know my dog is safe and and well cared for with Gaelle. I highly recommend Moggy Doggy Minders. It is really great that Gaelle does a pick up and drop off service. Rates are very reasonable.
We heard about Moggy Doddy minders from our neighbour and when we made contact with Gaelle we were delighted she took the time to visit our dog cooper at home to become acquainted and prevent him from making strange. Gaelle collects cooper and brings him to her home which is dog safe and has loads of activities to entertain cooper during his stay. We receive photos and videos of coopers stay as he interacts with other dogs which is important to us. We would have no hesitation in recommending Gaelle at Moggy Doggy minders to anyone who is looking to have their pets cared for.
I couldn't reccomend Gaelle enough 🙌 Before Bowie went to Gaelle's she came over to our house to meet Bowie so he could get acquainted with her in his own surroundings.Bowie loves going to Moggy Doggy daycare weekly & going for his sleepovers.There is a big secure & safe garden with loads of toys which Bowie loves running around in with his pals. Bowie does be so excited when he sees Gaelle at the door which is great peace of mind for me. Gaelle is wonderful at what she does. Bowie is collected & dropped home by Gaelle which is a brilliant service😊🐶While Bowie is at Gaelle's we receive loads of photos & videos of Bowie which is great peace of mind. I am delighted that I have found Moggy Doggy Minders & I would have no hesitation in reccomending Gaelle to anyone who is looking for someone to mind their dog.
We are so delighted that we have found Gaelle to look after our wee dog Lulu. Gaelle is so professional and accommodating. Lulu has totally settled in with Gaelle and gets so excited when she sees Gaelle coming to pick her up.Lots of playtime inside and outside. There is a lovely enclosed garden and lots of doggy toys to play with.Gaelle takes her for a walk every time she is with her. If there is another dog coming to Gaelle's she always makes sure that both dogs are compatible which is so reassuring. Lulu has stayed overnight in one of Gaelle's bedrooms and Gaelle made sure she settled.If Lulu isnt in good form Gaelle always tells us , we appreciate this so much. We get lots of updates by video to reassure us throughout the day. We know Lulu is in safe hands and she has a ball when she is with Gaelle.We honestly couldn't do without Gaelle and would like to highly recommend her.
Gaelle at Moggy Doggy Minders offers a fantastic pick-up/drop-off doggy day care service. We send our Bernedoodle, Teddy, to her a couple of times a week mostly so he can get some socialization - and we've boarded him for a week as well. We are thrilled with Moggy Doggy Minders and so is Teddy, A+++ service, can't recommend it highly enough!
Our three dachshund’s stayed with Sarah in September for just a over a week. It was my first time leaving them for so long and I was naturally nervous. Sarah invited me down to meet her and view the property before I left to go away which definitely eased the nerves. I received regular updates and photos while I was away which again kept my mind at ease and I could enjoy my holiday. I would have no problem using the Dog House again and recommending them to others
Our little cocker spaniel stayed 2 nights at The Dog House. We got updates on her well-being throughout which gave us lots of reassurance whilst we were away. I cannot recommend the amazing service done by the team enough! The communication is amazing and the love and care shown to our little dog will not be forgotten! (The care was so great she wanted to stay longer). We will definitely be using their service again.
Oscar has been going to The Dog House for the past year, and he absolutely loves it! The mention of Sarah and Maisie’s name gets him excited, he cries with excitement when we get to the gate and can’t wait to jump out and run inside. Sarah provides regular updates, photos, and videos during his stay, which is so comforting knowing his having a great time and is well looked after. After each visit Oscar comes home happily exhausted from all the fun. I highly recommend Sarah, it’s a home away from home environment 🐶🐾
I have been using The Dog House since January 2024 for daycare and boarding on two occasions and I would recommend Sarah to anyone. I was quite anxious about having someone outside my family care for Marley but Sarah put me at ease from our first meeting. We get regular communication about how Marley is doing and the excitement he shows from the moment we pull up at the gate just shows how much he loves his time at The Dog House
Sarah is fantastic! We have been sending our German Shepherd x Husky (Pisces) to Sarah for boarding over the past couple of months. Sarah is a pleasure to work with and is amazing at looking after Pisces while we are away. We know that our dog is in great hands and well looked after from the minute we drop her off and until the moment we pick her up!! Would highly recommend!! Thanks a mill Sarah! 🤗🐾
I heard about The Dog House from a friend who highly recommended it.. she had her two dogs there on several occasions . I already had an older greyhound.. and had rescued a young lurcher. Pogue. He was extremely boisterous. A real free spirit. So I sent him to Sarah’s for day care only. Mainly , to socialise and run off his excess energy. Sarah sent photos and videos .. he was so happy and exhausted each time he came home . I needed to board him for a week shortly after..he had a wonderful holiday. And the bonus for me was that he was much less wild and feral. He was even partially crate trained. The most important thing for me, also,was that he was happy and well cared for. Sarah’s expertise and experience proved invaluable, as she passed on tips and advice .. Pogue had a fab holiday with lots of daily photos and videos and is much better behaved at home He will be returning soon for another holiday. I can’t recommend The Dog House enough. 5 stars!!!
Our 10 month old weimaraner, has stayed twice at the Dog House. She has come home very tired and content and I notice that she is playing even better with other dogs after all of the new friends she has met. Sarah is an excellent communicator and understands the value and importance of having regular updates on how your doggie is getting on.
I could not recommend Sarah enough! I have 2 big breed dogs and nobody would look at us, once Sarah met them she was happy to take them. She kept us updated on how they were doing the whole time, they were more than happy in her company. We collected them today and they’ve slept all day they had the best time!
Sarah looked after our whippet for us on a couple of occasions and she really went above and beyond to make sure both of us and our puppy were comfortable. We were anxious as it was our first time leaving him anywhere but we got plenty of pictures, videos and updates of how he was doing while there which was lovely and reassuring. Couldn't recommend The Dog House enough! Sarah looks after your dog as if it was her own!
My greyhound Sona has stayed here twice now. Sarah made a big effort to welcome Sona and make her feel at home and comfy, (greyhounds love comfort!). I got loads of updates on how she was doing, and I knew she was in great hands. The dogs have a paddock area to run around and play, as well as their chill out lodgings. Would definitely recommend.
