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.

Natalie took great care of it dog and cats! She was clean, organized, conscientious, and communicative. Our dog had a small cut on his foot and Natalie took great care to help him heal. I would highly recommend Natalie as a house sitter and pet sitter!
This was our first house/pet sit with @zeewoi and we were extremely pleased! Robert showed up when he said he would, he accommodated our timelines and our dog's scheduled routine. He left our home in excellent shape and we had a very happy, relaxed pup to come home to. It was important to us that Robert meet us via video chat or in person before we left and he went above and beyond. He sent photos of our dog, Cooper, and him throughout the sit and we could tell that Cooper was very happy with Robert. He responded immediately to our texts, giving him updates about our return. Communication is so important for making sure both the sitter and the house owners are confident in one another. Robert is very outgoing and friendly and we have 100% confidence in him to look after our home and our dog when we are away. We look forward to Robert providing another future home sit.
Kelly was an excellent sitter for us. She communicated well, before the sit and during the sit. When we got home, the dogs and our guinea pig were happy and well. Kelly was dependable and showed up exactly on time. The house was well maintained and clean when we arrived home. We would definitely host Kelly again.
Janet and Bob were great to our pups and our home! They were our first sitters so we weren’t really sure what we were getting into, but they made it an awesome experience! They are coming back to stay with our dogs again in August. Definitely trust them with your fur babies!! 🐾🐶
This is our second time welcoming Michele and we were so happy to have her back! Our dogs Pedro and Samantha love her and it is clear she loves them! Our house was immaculate upon our return and Michele made her famous lemon chicken recipe which we gobbled up and then we asked for the recipe. We can't say enough great things about her and hope you are lucky enough to get her as a sitter for your pets.
I don’t think we could’ve picked a better sitter than Joe! This was our first time using this website/app, and I can only hope that all of our future sitters will be amazing as he was! He was kind, respectful, attentive, extremely clean, (seriously I think our house was cleaner than when we left for vacation), and took such amazing care of our two dogs! He arrived early on the day of our departure so he could meet our dogs and get a detailed run down of their routine. Both of our dogs warmed up to him immediately! :) One of our pups sometimes has the tendency to be reactive towards other dogs on leash. He handled him so effortlessly and with such compassion, it really put any worries I might’ve had aside. While we were away he sent little updates and pictures of the adventures they went on: farmers markets, car rides, long walks, and lots of pets and cuddles. After he left both of our dogs sat out side his room and just looked so sad that their new friend Joe had gone away. I honestly can’t recommend Joe enough! If you are looking for someone, your search should end here!
Piper was a wonderful sitter and I would definitely have her come again. My dog .Winston loved her and was very happy while I was gone. When I returned home everything was orderly and clean, she changed her bed and washed all the towels. I totallly recommend Piper to sit at your home.
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.
Melissa and Chris are amazing. We are very picky about our dog sitters, and we chose them because they have been doing this for a long time and track your wants and needs carefully and follow through with utmost care and integrity. They offered to come the day before we left to meet Winnie so that we could rest in that she would trust them and connect to them. Honestly, we would hire them as our only dog sitter all of the time if we could. I cannot thank them enough and say enough good things about them. They also took very good care of our house and plants.
To this list of attributes I would add flexible, capable, sensitive, extremely good with the dogs even if one of mine is sometimes a little ornery, and just a wonderful person all around. Because of constantly changing circumstances due to a move and coronavirus, my dogs ended up spending not two weeks but a whole month with John and they were so comfortable and happy. John helped them in so many ways and coordinated shipping them overseas, he went above and beyond the wildest stretches of what a house sitter entails and did it with a smile and a laugh and reassurances that all would be well. And indeed he was absolutely right - the dogs arrived so well cared for that all my fears of them being traumatized went out the window. John’s flexibility, and his kindness as well as his impeccable maintenance of my house in my absence all make me recommend him an absolute 10 out of 10. Thank you John for all your help this summer!! Lisa

A friend recommended Tanya to me for minding our 2+ year old Schnauzer boy. Although it’s always daunting leaving your pets in the care of other people, I felt comfortable leaving our boy in Tanya’s care from the start. We did a trial sleep over and it was evident he settled in quickly and had an enjoyable time. Tanya and her family is very experienced with dogs and clearly have a passion for animals. Our boy was safe, treated as their own and well cared for. We had absolute peace of mind leaving Cooper with Tanya for 2 weeks, it was a long time and not so easy, but he was in excellent care. She regularly shared videos, photos and texts. He had daily walks, and even had the luxury of picking a soft toy for himself to play with from her kid’s room. I would without a doubt recommend Tanya!
Tanya was really accommodating and helpful. She took great care of our two dogs and sent us pictures and updates so I was very reassured. Will definitely be a returning customer.
Tanya took care of my little beagle toto while myself and the rest of the family were away, she was brilliant even though i had given such late notice. Tanya took great care of her and gave me daily updates and pictures of toto which i absolutely loved and just reassured me she was in great hands. I would definitely recommend using this service 😁😁
We found Tanya absolutely amazing in taking care of our dog Willow would totally recommend and look forward to using her services again..
Great service, minded my 4 month old puppy for 4 nights and he loved every second and learnt so much. Sent me regular updates and videos. Will be back again for sure!
Very satisfied with dog sitting services at Tanya’s. She was very patient with my dog and did all his favourite activities during his stay. I would highly recommend her.
Tanya looked after my two Jack Russell terriers over Christmas. She has a lovely way with animals - patient and kind. My dogs were very well cared for. I would highly recommend her boarding services and will certainly use again.
Tanya has minded our dog Charlie on a few occasions now for sleepovers. He comes home super chilled out. It is evident that he is very comfortable in Tanya’s home and with her family. Definitely a home from home for him. It makes going away much easier when we know he is being well cared for. We would have no problem recommending Tanya for pet services
Lovely lady looked after my dog Flash. Great service definitely recommend it!
Quality service! After a few false starts of trying to find suitable boarding for our very energetic cocker spaniel we found Tanya and her lovely family. Wouldn’t leave our dog now with anyone else. Tanya sends regular updates and photos while you are away which is such a comfort. Would definitely recommend, and have done, to family and friends.
2 doggos came back in great form and met the lovely owner outside, went mad to greet her 😂 The kennels are spotless, and there are plenty of outdoor spaces with a large run. Definitely recommend and will be back if there is available space. …
My dogs are very happy going and staying in Home Away Boarding Kennels Tina is lovely and sends messages and videos to me while I'm away
Tina is fabulous, our Louis had the best time on his holidays, the care love and attention tina gives is priceless. The kennels were very spacious, spotless, and the open fields for running were fantastic and very safe, Louis thanks you too Thank you Tina
This place is amazing, has everything your dog needs to be feeling at home. We left our dog ‘Adelaide’ there for 9 days and she was very happy there. Tina is amazing and knows how to deal with dogs better than anyone, she even sent some videos and pics of our dog playing around, we really appreciated that. We will for sure leave our dog again and again
Fabulous, spotless kennels and runs. Very secure and spacious accommodation. Delighted to leave my little dudes there. The lady that looks after them is very kind and accommodating. Highly recommended.
I really want to thanks Tina in Home Away Kennels for looking after our 2 dogs over the extended Bank Holiday. It was easy to see that the dogs loved it there! Russo didn't want to leave! The space in the kennels and outside is brilliant and very secure. Tina didn't mind that I rang a few times to check on them while we were away - we were a bit nervous leaving them - we hadn't done it before. But now it won't be a problem, I've already booked them in for the Summer. Highly recommended. Amanda.
Just a little note on homeawaykennels.ie, if you're looking for somewhere that your fur baby can stay, that they are relaxed and you are not filled with anxiety, I would very much recommend giving Tina a call. The kennels are spacious, with lovely space outside & each dog really is looked after individually. It is such a weight off your shoulders, knowing you can go away in confidence & enjoy yourself and know your dog is doing the same. Absolutely delighted with this service & the fact that they are now doing daycare is just so handy, no need to feel guilty not finding time for walks nd playtime when your schedule is very busy.. just call Tina. I know we will be regular visitors now.
Excellent kennels. Very very clean and tidy. Our dog was very looked after during his stay. Will bring him there again.
Tina is great with the dogs, we left our lad there for two weeks and we got him back in great condition. Would recommend.
Tina is fabulous, she takes such great care of our dog. Highly recommended.
We contacted Tracey and she couldn't have been more accommodating from the very beginning and at such short notice. Our cat, Monty, came back to us in brilliant form showing that he was cared for like one of their own (if not better!) Sending him to Tracey and all at Twin Peaks puts our minds at ease when we're away. Thank you so much again!
We've booked in our beloved cat with Tracey for a week while on holidays. Every previous pet hotel was a stressful experience for him. But this time was different thanks to Tracey. She put a lot of personal approach and care to make him feel comfortable and relaxed. We will be back again. Thank you Tracey!
We leave our cat Jewel with Tracey @Twin Peaks Cattery when we go on holidays. Jewel loves the room where she stays and is so relaxed when we drop her off and on pick up. Our kids are reassured that Jewel is well looked after by Tracey when they went to the cattery and seen Jewels behaviour in the cattery and with Tracey. It was so relaxed and like she was at home.Tracey also spends loads of time with the cats under her care daily which is also reassuring. We highly recommend Twin Peaks Cattery to anyone looking for a safe friendly environment to place their cat whilst on holiday.
I only ever go to Tracy. She takes fantastic care of my two cats Simba and willow and goes above and beyond. She understands my attachment to them and she treats them as if they are her own with such love and care. She is absolutely fantastic and an absolute gem to deal with.
To sum up our experience of Traceys' kennel service..I,d simply say theres not near enough in 5 stars above to show our utmost Respect and Appreciatian for Everything both Tracey and Dave did to look after our Dog Spot during his stay with them.Tracey picked up from our very first conversation I was a bit nervous about leaving Spot into a kennel service...we were only gone on holidays a few hours when I received the first of daily lovely videos showing Spot living his best life being utterly spoilt rotten and getting the best of care and attention from Tracey, Dave and family...we are actually of the opinion Spot was on a holidays blues when we brought him home..We Genuinely think he was on a bit of a downer missing Tracey and family...folks take it from a Person that would,nt leave my Dog with Anybody..if you want peace of mind and confidence in knowing yours will be taken care of to the very best with genuine love and care....Give Tracey a call...I did, Spots going back for a lavishing holiday with Tracey and Dave in September again.Best regards Jamie,Trish,Demi and Spot🐶
Bart has stayed with Tracey twice now in Twin Peaks and would I recommend… Absolutely. Your cat will have plenty of toys to entertain themselves with, that’s when they are not sitting on a hammock watching TV . Each cat is adored whilst in Tracey’s care and totally cared for. Photos and videos sent to pining cat Mom’s, who are drowning in self inflicted guilt. No need, cat is on his own Holidays 🥰 Bart is awaiting his next trip over to Twin Peaks
Tracey is a fabulous lady and looks after my pet cat Rizzo so well whenever I am away. Rizzo is very sensitive and hates going out of her comfort zone, but Tracey always goes out of her way to calm her and make her feel safe and comfortable. She is so kind and caring and it's obvious that she adores animals. She even sends pictures of your pet to put your mind at ease. She has plenty of toys to keep pets entertained and also plays with pets herself! I would highly recommend sending your pet to stay at Twin Peaks. Thanks Tracey!! 😊
What a wonderful place to board your cat or dog. Tracey has looking after my pet dog, Portia, for a number of years now and treated her like a princess every time, caring, loving and has taken her at short notice, with long walks. I would highly recommend Twin Peaks, a best kept secret in Laois. I would not leave my pet dog anywhere else.
I always leave my two Rottweilers with Tracy. They are alway well looked after and very happy to go back. Tracy also sent me videos of them out playing in the many fields and out on walks. I 100% would recommend Twin Peaks. My daughter and niece also drives from Dublin to Portlaoise for Tracy to mind their pur babies.
I have 3 cats and I would never consider putting them anywhere but here. A real sign to me as to how well my cats are treated is that they dont want to come home with me and when I do manage to get them home they settle right back in, I know then that they have been well looked after while Im away. I trust that twin peaks looks after my fur babies as well as I do and that is saying something as I may have them a little spoilt. As you can see from the photos they are very relaxed there.
Cared for our dog incredibly well and we never had a bad word to say about that aspect of their service. Found their drop off / collection times incredibly inflexible times in the morning between 10-11am and in the evening between 5-5:30pm only. For a working person it was almost impossible to get them there in their time frame and I found we ended up paying for an extra night when it wasn’t necessary. Also after traveling across the country and paying a couple hundred of euro to have our dog looked after I was 15-20 minutes late for their 5-30 cut off and I got a ear full from the owner which just put a massive downer on the fact that they do care for dogs incredibly well. Would also say their capacity is very limited and unless you book well in advance it’s almost impossible to get them in so you end up having to look for an alternative kennels anyway so found it unreliable for anyone who had a short notice trip.
My 2 girls stayed here for 4 nights, they love it and are looked after very well. Sandra and paraic are very good with the dogs, couldn't recommend highly enough
Sandra and Paraic are absolutely fantastic with our fur baby Oscar. They are so professional and care for Oscar so well. We know Oscar is always having the best time when we're away and comes home smelling beautiful 😁 if we could give 10 stars we would ❤️ …
Roxy has been a guest here over past few years. I can rest easy she is well looked after by Sandra and Co. Photo credit Sandra.
We gave used Fern's on and off for years. This really is a 5* facility. We have smaller dogs and they stay in a small house called The School House. The dogs are kept in pens and not cages. The house even has heating and a TV. Sandra is absolutely lovely and we feel 1000% happy leaving the dogs in her care
Highly recommend Fern Boarding Kennels. We booked our dog in here for a week. A lovely place for dogs. I left knowing our dog would be well looked after. Sandra and Padraic are fantastic. I would definitely recommend anyone looking for dog boarding to enquire here. I will definitely be using Fern Boarding Kennels going forward. Thanks so much Sandra and Padraic.
Excellent.. Sandra and her Team are expert dog carers and from the moment you meet them you feel confident if the fact that your pooch will be well looked after and cared for to the highest standard. They even had a birthday party for her...I'm always afraid when I arrive back to pick her up up she wont want to com home! Couldn't recoment them highly enough.
This place is wonderful for dogs. My 2 collies are very anxious dogs but Sandra and Paraic made them feel so relaxed and comfortable. it made me feel happy and safe leaving them with them. Its like a second home for them. Both Sandra and Paraic are lovely, warm and gentle owners and very dedicated. Im so happy i found this place.Highly recommended to all!
My girls Cleo and Jess stayed with Sandra and family last week . This was their first holiday stay . They absolutely loved it . Saw videos every day of them having a ball . I can’t thank Fern enough for looking after my girls as if they were their own .
So highly recommend Fern, my dog Millie just loves it, for short or long stay she's always happy to go.
Our hyper pup went for a meet and greet and absolutely loved it! He'll be going for an overnight stay soon enough and I have no concerns at all that he's gonna love it!
John and Sarah provide a fantastic and trustworthy service for our dog, who attends daycare twice a week and loves the socialisation with other doggies 🙂 We have left our dog with them overnight on many occasions and would highly recommend them! …
I send my pupper to day care and she runs in wagging her tail happy to be around the other dogs and people. When she's collected she's happy to come home and nap. They are lovely people very easy to talk to and treat the dog like one of their own.
My boy enjoys visit her friends and he loves Sarah! Such peace of mind, knowing he is cared for when he visits.
Would highly recommend Fran Boarding and pet sitting service. Fran takes such good care of yoyr pets, she treats them like they are her own. My two dogs had such a great week with Fran. They are minded all day in her own house so they have company all day.
Brilliant. The dog loved it too!!
Friendly professional service
Excellent.
I can't recommend Belinda highly enough! She has been walking our dogs now for a year and a half, twice a week every week, and is so professional, reliable and our dogs absolutely love her! We know they are in good hands when we are in work, and they absolutely love their walkies with her. She has been there for us last minute when we needed, and has even come and minded the dogs in the house post surgeries etc when their walking was limited. We would be lost without her! Sarah, Kieran, Bosco and Bailey
I have my frenchie walked every other week by Belinda with this company and I can't recommend them enough. Belinda took time out of her day to firstly visit myself and Luna so that she could get to know her a bit before she started her walks and answer any questions i had as well as making sure she knew all the important things regarding Lunas requirements/personality. Not surprisingly they became best friends instantly as Belinda has such a warm and kind energy to her. I have been using her service for three months now and I couldn't be happier. Belinda is always on time, super reliable and always sends me a text to let me know how Luna got on. I would definitely recommend this company to anyone in the south kildare area looking for someone they can trust with their precious fur babies while they have to leave them to go to work. She even got a little Halloween present on her last walk with her 😍😍😍 love them
100% recommend for dog minding and wedding service. Belinda took care of our dog Misha before, during and after our wedding ceremony in Ballintubbert House and Gardens. She lives nearby which was ideal. She arrived in advance and brought her for a walk around the venue while everyone was getting ready, took care of her during the ceremony and was waiting for us after and we got gorgeous wedding photos with our dog ☺ she stayed around for some of the drinks reception where lots of our guests could say hello to Misha. It was so lovely be able to have her there for part of our day while also knowing she was in safe hands. Then Misha went to stay with Belinda at Holly's Fur and Feathered Friends for 2 nights and was dropped back to us the morning we were leaving. I am so glad to have found Belinda, she was a pleasure to deal with and took great care of Misha for us. Any couples getting married that want to include their dog in their wedding, Belinda is fantastic, super flexible for whatever you need and great with dogs of course!
Belinda is the most caring and wonderful person that takes care of our pups as if they are her own. Highly recommended!
