Annie sat for our cat, Tuna, over a long weekend. She was extremely kind and self-sufficient. When we arrived home, Tuna was relaxed and happy and our apartment was as clean and tidy as we had left it. Annie would be welcome to sit for us again any time, we'd highly recommend her.
I could not have asked for a better first experience with zeewoi! Jordan and Nataki were great at communicating from the very start, and they sent me pictures and updates every day. I didn’t have to worry for a moment that my cat Anya was feeling lonely because I could tell she warmed up right away, even though she’s usually quite shy! They also went above and beyond making sure my apartment was tidy for when I got home. So grateful and would definitely be honored for them to sit for me again any time!
Francesco has been taking care of my furry babies and my place while I'm away for well over a year now, and I couldn't appreciate him more. He is a joy to communicate with, and the most reliable person one could hope for. Being able to count on him while I'm traveling makes a world of difference, because I know I don't need to worry about anything while I'm away. Benny and Zumba love him and are very well taken care of. I know because I come home to two very relaxed and happy kitties. I am super grateful to have found Francesco!
Hannah and Joseph were so kind, so communicative, and clean! Kevin seemed so happy in all the photos they sent. Not only did they wash my sheets and towels they used (without my requesting it, simply out of the kindness of their hearts), they ALSO then put my fresh sheets on the bed! 🥹❤️ Such incredible sitters. 10 stars!
Misti was wonderful! She was able to come by before I left town to meet my dog, Grace, which I really appreciated. She sent daily pics or videos and made sure that Grace got tons of snuggle time, which is a major requirement to keep my dog happy :) Cats and skateboards are evil enemies to Grace and it sounds like Misti experienced both and handled it flawlessly! Misti was a great communicator, left everything tidy for me when I got home and Grace was super mellow and relaxed, which tells me she got all the care she needed while I was gone. I highly recommend Misti - I'll definitely be asking her to sit again!
Lilly and Thomas stayed at our house and cared for our dogs for a month. I think they took the dogs to the beach nearly every day. Seeing pictures of our dogs on the beach made our time away from them feel so much better. Our house was immaculate when we returned, and we felt so fortunate to have such kind and loving people step in for us in our absence. Anyone would be super lucky to have them in their home.
Gwynn was wonderful! She was super communicative, flexible to come to our house beforehand to get oriented, and attentive to details. She connected with our pup, Scout, immediately and we felt so assured that he would be well cared for with her. We hope Gwynn can come stay again another time!
I was thrilled to have Courtenay as our sitter. We had a few last minute changes and she was very accommodating. She is a very pleasant, well spoken person who bonded very quickly with our dog, Pepe. We were in Europe and Courtenay keep us we’ll informed via internet, pictures and all. We came home to a clean house, a happy pet and a delicious pie she left for us in the refrigerator. You would be very pleased to have her as your sitter. Lucy Hottle
Wendy was great, she kept us updated on the dogs and all the fun she had hiking with them on the mountain. I returned home to a very tidy house. My dogs just loved her. I will definitely have Wendy sit for me again and would be very lucky to have her do a sit for you.
Julian and Susan were amazing, we came home to happy healthy creatures and a clean, tidy home and yard. They communicated with us during our vacation, both about anything unusual and just to let us know when things were going well (as they were the majority of the time). They are very adaptable and capable people, I highly recommend them for your home and pet needs.

Eliza was my first sitter after signing up on zeewoi. I’m Soooo happy to have had her in my home watching over my dogs. They were very well taken care of and she did everything I asked her to do with the dogs meals and medication. Plus she took excellent care of my home and plants. If you are lucky enough to get Eliza to stay at your home, you will be so glad it was she who took care of things! Very happy 😃
David and Elynn were fabulous pet sitters and house sitters. Our dog and rabbit were well-taken care of, the house was left even cleaner than when they arrived! I would highly recommend David and Elynn, and would happily have them again! David and Elynn took excellent care of our dog Cosmo and our rabbit Oreo. They made sure they were happy, well-fed, and got exercise and fresh air! We were very happy to receive several photos of our furry friends while we were away. They took amazing care of the house and yard, and were very open with communication. If they were uncertain of anything or had a question, they were very open about reaching out! David and Ellyn were wonderful houseguests, who left the house even cleaner than they found it! I would highly recommend David and Elynn and their two adorable children. They are wonderful, respectful people who definitely love animals and will give your pets and home lots of care! Thank you!! :)
Once again Dede was the most perfect pup and house sitter you could ever hope to have the pleasure of using. She leaves our home cleaner than we left it and our pups so happy that they continue to search for her after she leaves. Dede handled an emergency situation with a false CO2 alarm which resulted in a visit from the fire department perfectly and we were so grateful! I feel completely comfortable with her in our home and know she is giving our 2 dogs the very best care. Thank you Dede - you truly are the best!
Cleo is a very lucky puppy dog to have been cared for by Matt & Lisa! We’ve had quite a few sitters over the last 2 years with TH, and I have no reservations saying that they were the best! First, communication was fabulous from the start. They put me at ease before they ever got here. Throughout the sit, there were regular updates and pictures. They were so very attentive to Cleo, and even ventured out with her on trail walks (Cleo’s favorite thing in the world). They handled her medications with no problem. It was obvious that my nervous pup was at ease and loved them, as she ended up sleeping with them! I’d have Matt & Lisa again in a heartbeat, and would recommend to anybody!
Robyn was a great pet sitter and house sitter. She went way over and beyond my expectations!!!! She sent a photo of her and my dogs and they were looking at her like they were in love. And my cats are not very friendly, but she won them over also. I would highly recommend Robyn as a pet sitter and house sitter. She is a very sweet lady. I would love to have her watch my babies again and again.
We initially accepted Deirdre and Jason for a long stay to look after our dogs. We were very happy they accepted. A few weeks later we realized we needed another sitter for another trip we had planned. So, we posted more dates on zeewoi. To our happy surprise, Deirdre and Jason reached out to us saying they could also look after our dogs and home with the new dates we posted. This made our life much easier and we were very confident to have Deirdre and Jason stay longer with us and care for our dogs. We were definitely right!! D&J have countless experiences on zeewoi with very good reviews from all of their previous sits. They are very experienced with all aspects of a house/pet sitting. D&J are very self-sufficient, have the background knowledge and education of pet care, and most importantly a genuine love for all animals. This is most important for my wife and I. We knew from the first meeting with our pups they loved animals. Communication was excellent. The process before and during our sit was stress-free for us. We were given daily updates on our dogs including photos and videos. Any concerns D&J had were vocalized to us. D&J are also problem solvers and know how to react many challenging situations. Our routine for our pets was followed immaculately and all dogs were very happy and connected with them. Even our female dog Kinki grew close so quickly with D&J which is very rare. We had ZERO issues while we were gone and we were able to really enjoy our trip while we were away. The dogs definitely love being around D&J. Homecare: We are very pleased with the condition of our home when we returned. It was clean, free of clutter, and exactly how we had left it for them, if not even better! D&J even mowed our grass and took care of our yard! Our yard is not a small garden. It is very big and takes hours to mow. So we were very surprised and excited to know they did that for us even though it's not expected of our sitters!! They definitely went above and beyond what is expected. Our dogs are so very important to us. When we know we can trust our sitters it's the best feeling in the world. We definitely trust Deirdre and Jason with our most prized possessions and we look forward to the next sit with them in a few days!!! We can't thank them enough for giving our dogs the love and attention they deserve. We highly recommend Deirdre and Jason for your future sittings and you can always feel free to contact Izabela and I about D&J for additional verification from us. They are fantastic! Thanks so much Deirdre and Jason! -Allen and Izabela
Brian is awesome - he is simply the best pet sitter and house sitter that we have EVER had and we've had a bunch. He is experienced, thoughtful, respectful, loving, appreciative, helpful, enthusiastic...the list just goes on. Started with our initial call - it was our first sit with zeewoi and he immediately instilled confidence in us in how he talked about his experience and how he saw his role. In the pre-planning, he had great questions for us and helped us to get organized. He was thorough through the instructions, came in a day early to make sure he understood everything about our house and our dog and then followed through on everything. He even drove us to the airport and picked us up on the return. Along the way we were gone, he sent us pictures and kept us updated - always making us feel good about being away and knowing Jorge and the house were in great hands. We had workers coming to fix a fence while gone and some other activity at the house - he was helpful, available, and willing to do whatever was needed to be done. He was self-sufficient and when it came time to leave, he had everything organized and cleaned at the house - he left it in better condition than he received it. We would love to have Brian sit whenever we are away (and in fact will invite him and hope he says yes!) - any one would be lucky to have Brian as their house and pet sitter.
Dede (Duha) is definitely one of our top house/pet sitters so far! The moment we met I knew she was the perfect fit for us. She is the most loving, caring and responsible sitter one could wish for! She send us regular updates of her daily adventures with Kenzie and Ginger and we could not have felt more at ease. I know for sure that our dog fell deeply in love with her and misses her much. We hope to invite Dede back into our home soon! Five stars all the way!!
Stephanie, Brian and baby Martin took fabulous care of our home and pets for two weeks. From the outset, communication was quick, smooth and friendly and it was clear that both Stephanie and Brian are reliable, professional and warm sitters who take all the various elements of a sit seriously. They kept us up to date with photos and messages, dealt proactively and competently with any unexpected issues that popped up, and most importantly showered our dogs and gerbils with attention and care throughout the time we were away. We returned to a spotlessly clean home (with thoughtful touches of fresh milk, bacon and bread waiting for us) and happy, settled pets. In short, we would recommend Stephanie and Brian to anyone looking for reliable, attentive and proactive sitters for their pets and home. We would be delighted to welcome them back for another sit, should they ever find themselves in the area again.
Oh my Goodness! Where to begin. Linda was the perfect house sitter for us and the perfect pet sitter for Olivia! She is one of the nicest people you will ever meet. When we returned from out two week vacation all our plants were alive, the garden was alive, the birds and fish had been fed regularly, and the dog was alive and happy! What more can you ask for, right? Well with Linda you get all that and more. Updates as you request - even videos of her morning walks with Olivia. The house as spotless as we left it, maybe even better! Even the porches were clean! Linda is a genuine treasure and our recommendation would be 10 stars if there were that many!!

Excellent care for our two cats for over a week. Thanks again.
Great cattery. Tony is very loving to all his boarders and the cats always come home well cared for. Peace of mind on holiday for definite.
We've left our cat with Tony a few times and can't fault his service! Tony is great to deal with, very understanding and so natural with our cat Max. Max is always content when returning from his time in Wags and Tails. Will be definitely returning to Tony again! Thanks :)
My cats have stayed with Tony at least 4-5 times since they were kittens and never had a problem. He sent updates on their well-being while we're on holidays for our peace of mind. The facilities are designed with cats in mind and it´s spotless. Even he has two different areas for the colder months. There are plenty of areas for playing and climbing too. Tony is passionate about animals and knows how to treat them. Always it´s been easy to deal with him and had excellent service, he even offer pick up and delivery. I could not recommend more
Toffee and Coffee had a great time. Chilling at home after picking them up. Thanks Tony. Highly recommended.
My two cats seemed to enjoy their first holidays at Wags & Tails and they've returned happy and healthy. Great communication from Tony from the start. Will definitely be back.
Tony is great, very flexible and lovely to deal with.
Tony was fantastic to deal with,minded my cat for 2 weeks and he was very happy. Gave me a little tour of the cattery,it's great. Highly recommend
Found Tony really rude when collecting our cat. He became very angry when I mentioned I would like to be allowed in past the driveway gate when collecting, to see where she had been staying. He refused. He said no viewings June, July, August. When I said I find that very unusual he became quite angry I had to ask him to stop shouting at me & all he said was go on away woman with your cat. I do not recommend, very odd, made me feel they were trying to Hide something, when they should be trying to instill confidence. Paid €280 for 3 weeks, no receipt provided either!
Great experience. I left my cat here for over 3 weeks while I was on holiday. He was well cared for by tony and is a lot more sociable and confident after the experience
Our dog Buzz was absolutely well looked after at Cork Paws! we were kept very up to date during his stay, Kristian and Stephen were very kind and phenomenal, taking great care of Buzz, I'd have no hesitation in recommending Cork Paws, if you are looking to leave your Dog in a friendly and safe environment.
I would absolutely recommend Kristian and Steven to anyone in need of care for their dogs. They have a beautiful home and 2 gorgeous dogs who were lovely relaxed friends to my little 5month pup and my parents 18 year terrier. Kristian sends lots of photos of them enjoying their holidays! Honestly think they’re great and so glad to have found them, it was like a home away from home for them both.
Absolutely reccomend this place, went to a wedding for 2 nights and with a 1 week notice, they were able to look after our dog Lexi for those days. Steven and Kristian are lovely, they had us bring Lexi over to get familiar with the house and them and their two dogs Buddy and Abbey who are adorable and very friendly, before we left. While away they kept me up to date with messages and pics of my dog to show how well and happy she was, playing with their own dogs. There house is lovely and they have a nice big back garden that is fenced off that they play in, so your dog cant make a prison break they also walk the dogs everyday. If you want your dog to be looked after in a family home enviroment, while you're away, rather than be stuck in a kennel with 20 other dog's and not looked after as much, Cork Paws Dog Boarding is the place to go. Next time I have to go away, I will be sending my dog here.
I didn't there was such a thing as the perfect dog minder for my pampered pooch Charlie until I met Kristian that is. Charlie is just back home from an amazing stay with Kristian Stephen and their two beautiful dogs. He was so well looked after and made one of the family and I got loads of updates and photos from Kristian. Charlie can't wait to go back! I would have no hesitation in recommending Cork Paws to any dog owner. Thank you so much Kristian!
I cannot recommend Kristian enough 😊 My Rosie can be nervous at times with new people but after her first day care with Kristian she was all waggy tails going again. Rosie recently spent 4 nights boarding with Kristian and she had the best time with walks and her friends Abby and Buddy. It was a huge relief to know she was in such good care. Thank you so much for everything we will see you soon!
My boy Toby stayed overnight in Kristians and I was very happy with everything. He sent regular photos and updates and Toby got on great with the other dogs in the house. He came home absolutely exhausted after a fun filled weekend! I would definitely use their services again.
Chico had a great day at day care with Kristian. He was well looked after and he was exhausted when he got home after a full day of fun with the other dogs. Highly recommend!
Elmo had the most wonderful weekend. He loved all the attention that he got and we got regular photos and updates. The biggest surprise was when we collected him and he was surrounded by three other dogs, and loving it. This was far from the dog we left three days earlier that barked at every dog he saw! Can't recommend Cork Paws enough. We'll definitely be bringing him back for his holidays!
Alfie stayed with Kristian recently while we were away. We were delighted with the updates daily and the photos sent on to us. Alfie looked like he had great fun there. It was a relief to have Alfie looked after in a home environment and with their own dogs there for company too. We would not hesitate to use Cork Paws again.
Brilliant!! My dog Bella had the most amazing time! I received cute pic updates of her while I was away which was lovely reassurance, she really enjoyed her stay and can’t wait for her next adventure! A home away from home.. Thanks Cork Paws 🐾 …
Imelda is a great person to deal with. The cattery enclosures are a great design and material construction. They are clean and tidy with a lot of stimulating toys and scratch posts. Impressed with the attention to detail in regard to the heating system, the cats needs and vaccination status. While we were away Imelda sent on video of our pets and we were re assured that they were in good hands. A very nice place run by a very nice woman who loves cats herself, I will have no problem checking in our pets again in the future. Thanks Imelda !
I booked Truffle Lodge for my kitten Marley while I went on holiday for a week. Imelda was absolutely amazing, so kind & caring & made me feel so at ease about leaving her. She updated me with lovely little video clips to show how she was getting on. The cattery itself is absolutely gorgeous & a brilliant rate! I would highly recommend it to any cat owners & would send my Marley there in a heartbeat 💓 a home away from home for her. Thank you so much 🌟
I've had my Lola with Imelda at Truffle Lodge Kitty care for the past 2 weeks & lola was very happy,content & well cared for.Imelda & her sister looked after her soo well The care was amazing ,even sent me a video of Lola while I was away which i could see how content she was .Was great Lola had her own pod which was immaculate & also homely 😊 Highly recommend Truffle lodge & I will be sending Lola there again in future. Imelda Thank you kindly
Truffle lodge kitty care is a great place for any cat the ladies running it are so nice and well equipped for caring for all breeds , our boy Mr Bubbles loved his stay there and we got a lovely update video midweek on our holidays , imeldas voice is so relaxing towards the cats , thanks for everything and hope to see you again in the near future all the best , William and Mr Bubbles
I would be lost without Imelda! She has cared for my beautiful cat , BooBoo , several times. She regularly sends me a video of my little man keeping me up to date on his form. He’s invariably cuddling up to her and enjoying the excellent attention. During his most recent stay Imelda’s eagle eye spotted he had a little burst abscess behind his ear which he would have got when at home but I had failed to spot. After liaising with me ,as I was in hospital ,Imelda organised a vet to call out and within days he was successfully treated. This was a huge relief and reassurance for me. I couldn’t recommend her highly enough and her excellent clean and warm facilities. I just hope she doesn’t get too busy so I can always book BooBoo into his second home !
Imelda couldn't be kinder to our cats. She is the most wonderful host and our cats are so safe there. Feel lucky to have her living so close us ❤️
Imelda is incredible! I would never leave my cat anywhere else. She takes such good care of him and I know that I don’t need to worry at all while he is at Truffle Lodge. Imelda is so good with the cats and she knows how to mind them when they are a little stressed out. The rooms are a great size with lots of hiding or climbing spaces. There are loads of lovely toys and they take turns to come out into the corridor for more space and exercise. Imelda always sends pictures and videos to let you know how your cat is doing. My cat never wants to leave by the end! I would reschedule my holiday if Imelda did not have availability as I would not trust anyone else to do such a great job!
Imelda is such a lovely lady to deal with. Her cattery is so well equipped and gorgeously decorated. She took such great care of our 12 year old cats Heidi and Freddy, even giving us little video updates. Thanks Imelda. Claire
Truffles Lodge Kitty Care, Kinsale is what I would describe as a 10 star hotel for my cat Smudge. Imelda runs an amazing cattery her love of cats is so obvious. Truffles Lodge is spotless, the food my cat was given was top of the range. The kennel was very spacious and would house 2 cats sharing very comfortably. My nervous cat Smudge, who is afraid of her own shadow allows Imelda to stroke her and purrs like they are old friends! My mind is at ease when I leave my cat at Truffle Lodge, Kinsale. Well done Imelda you work so hard. You have an excellent, well run fabulous cattery.
We have dropped our cat to Truffle Lodge Kitty Care on a number of occasions over the past year, for stays ranging from a few days to two weeks. Truffle Lodge is always very clean and each individual "suite" is cosy and welcoming. We always feel like our cat will be safe and warm both during the winter and summer stays, he is always in good form and bright when we collect him. Imelda is what Truffle Lodge is all about, from her cheerfully decorated office to her lovely warm welcome on arrival, Imelda had an obvious love for what she does, we will happily use Truffle Lodge Kitty Care again.
Sammy had a great time staying with Carol in Belgooly. We will definitely return in the future.
I could not recommend Irene & her family enough. We were so nervous at the thoughts of sending our FurBaby, Daisy to a kennel, as she is just 2 years old, an absolute baby at best and had never stayed in a kennel before. Daisy had quite sensitive skin & ears, which is no longer the case following her stay here. I cannot explain how relaxing our holiday was knowing Daisy was looked after like one of their own at Ballygarvan Boarding Kennels. I was sent photos and videos to keep us updated which was a really lovely touch. When we went to ollect Daisy Irene asked Daisy if she wanted to come back in and she actually tried to jump back out of the car 😂. Happy little smiley head and waggy tail said it all. Thank you again Irene, so so much. Daisy sends her slobbery kisses also. x
Top grade accomodation and care. Thanks for washing her! She might sleep on the bed tonight!
Our mixed breed 2.5 year old dog Dusty is a member of Creedons doggie daycare since he was a young pup. He is addicted to it. He gets so excited when I drop him off. I love seeing the photos of him on the seesaw, outdoor area or waiting patiently for treats. As a high energy dog, it’s just what he needs. He always has a great day.
It's great. The puppy is extremely happy there. The only problem is the smell. I know it's tough to get it out, but the dog smells terrible after 😬 otherwise great day care ☺️ …
Our beautiful Labrador Rocky has been using Creedons since he was 6 months . What an amazing fun ride it has been . Rocky is now 16 months and I can honestly say Creedons have made him into a wiggly happy go lucky calm doggy. Initially plan was just to use the daycare for office days. I’m now fully remote and have decided to continue to use it twice a week . We also use the hotel when we can’t bring Rocky with us. The staff are so amazing - young energetic and just such doggy lovers. Whoever loves their dog and wants somewhere secure safe and fun to stay , choose Creedons 🥰
Kayley's home away from home, I cannot say enough good things about the whole team at Creedons. Whether its daycare or overnights, she always leaves so much happier than when she arrives. Cannot recommend them enough.
Our large Golden Retriever was well cared for at Creedon's and came back with a lovely shiny coat and a happy doggy. The location is easy to find, easy to park, and drop off/pick up was a breeze. We are new to Cork, and have tried several grooming services in the Douglas area and this is definitely our choice for regular grooming for our pup.
We recently used Creedon's Dog Care for private puppy training sessions. The training with Megan was absolutely fantastic. Megan is such as asset to Creedon's. She was extremely attentive towards our Golden Retriever and answered all questions we had. Megan showed us a good number of tips etc. and would definitely recommend her as a brilliant trainer. Her very helpful follow-up notes on each of the sessions we great. Excellent service
I would like to thank Creedons for Millie’s successful first spa day! From the onset she was treated lovingly and gently and my nerves were very well managed. She was exhausted at the end of the day, a happy puppy. It gave her a safe and pleasant experience where it could have been traumatising for a young puppy like her. It makes our next visit one of many more. Looking forward to booking for next month.
We have been using Creedons for student dog grooms for quite a while now. It’s been excellent on every visit. We have two large dogs that we would otherwise struggle to keep groomed without the reduced rate student grooms. The dogs are there for a full 3 hours. They are relaxed, happy and beautiful at the end but most importantly their ears and nails are tended to with no distress, and these are so important for their well-being. Without this service we would have less groomers qualifying with hands on experience. While it’s important to remember that these are student grooms and there may be tiny issues that need improvement, all of the students are supervised by very experienced teachers so the dogs are in good hands at all times. Excellent service.
Our dog absolutely loves going to Creedons Dogcare. He has been going for 9 months now and still bounds in the door all excited. Staff are amazing with the dogs and we know he is being very well cared for. He comes home exhausted from a day of fun. We've also used their grooming service and we're very happy with the results.
I have a Samoyed who usually gets groomed every 6-8 weeks. I moved and found Creedons grooming college when searching for a new groomer and I’m delighted I took the chance. The students all seemed very kind at drop-off and the groomer my dog had (Eimear, I think) was so lovely and really listened to my requests. These students have obviously been trained to a high level and it shows. Grooming a Samoyed is not an easy task because he has so much hair but he came out looking like he went to any fully-qualified groomer. Can’t wait to bring him back!
