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.

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.
Brian was a wonderful sitter for our 11 year old dog and also took great care of our home. He sent me pictures every day and let me know how Macklin was doing which always helps ease my mind. Our home was clean and tidy when we returned and everything in its place. I'd recommend Brian to anyone looking for excellent care by a friendly person!
I've always been lucky with my sitters through zeewoi, and this time was no exception. George, Larissa and their four lovely children were the absolute perfection in house guests and I cannot praise this wonderful family too highly. They did all the usual things you'd expect, gave my beautiful girls all the love and care I could wish, walked them at least once every day despite the best the British weather could throw at them, and sent me regular updates and photos so I could see how much love they were getting. They also left the house cleaner and tidier than I think I've ever seen it! I'm a bit worried that all they did for the week was walk and play with the dogs and then clean the house - I'm beyond grateful, the place looks amazing! They really are the very nicest people too, George has a hilarious sense of humour (thanks for the funny texts George!) and Larissa is calm, kind and an inspiration as a mother. I really can't wait to have them back to look after the girls again in the summer and wish the whole family a wonderful trip until then. If they come and house sit for you then you are in for a real treat!
The best house and dog sitters you could ever ask for! They love and take care of our dogs like we do and do the same with our home. Thank you so much Ken and Jane! You are very much appreciated and loved by us, Jules and Lexi ❤️😇🐶
Our dog loved Angela, as did we! She was friendly, efficient, handled our large, happy bernadoodle effectively and with love...we could not have asked for a better dog sitter and would be happy to have her back.
I’m sure most folks say the nicest things about their sitter, but honestly, if there were a “super star” status available then Denise would win the prize as sitter of the year! From the start, Denise was an excellent communicator. While we were still in the decision phase, Denise was always available to chat either by FaceTime, telephone or text. It was so easy to choose Denise; as you can see from her countless 5 star reviews, she truly is the only pet sitter you’d ever need and the one everyone hopes to have. Denise came to our house eager to meet us, our pets and the quirks of our house. Denise has an excellent sense of humor and immediately put us all at ease. Our pets took to her as if she was a long lost friend (even our finicky Siamese cat was loving on her from the start). While we were gone, our dog had a non-emergency health issue come up and just like that Denise was taking her to our vet, and administered the dog’s meds like a champion (Denise is also a nurse BTW). Additionally, Denise brought our pup to her scheduled groom appointments and even made future appointments for us to make our return home as seamless as possible. Denise was even above and beyond helpful to our neighbors and they appreciated her giving them access to our refrigerator when theirs broke down on Thanksgiving Eve! When we got home we were super impressed by how perfectly immaculate our house was! Most sitters leave the house clean, but Denise met and may have even exceeded our military standards of clean and orderly. Seriously, our house felt like we never left it. Everything was spotless, shinny and clean. She didn’t miss a beat!! Our pets were so happy to see us but honestly, I felt like our pup and kitty were disappointed when we walked in the door (I believe they were expecting to see Denise!). Haha. If you are ever fortunate enough to have Denise apply for any of your sits then I can’t recommend her enough. Seriously, you can stop reviewing applicants and just go with Denise. She was awesome in every sense of the word and I hope she’ll come back and stay with our pets again.
Angela provided complicated medical care for my sick dog for three weeks in Mexico City with the utmost professionalism and kindness Right before Angela’s arrival, my dog was hospitalized and almost died. Angela took care of follow up vets visits, administered eight medicines a day for two weeks, and nursed tico completely back to health I could tell from the photos and videos that she was taking excellent care of him - he was too weak to walk so she made a comfy bed for him in a large bag and carried him a over the city so he could still have fun during his recovery I could not recommend Ángela more. She went so far above and beyond what a pet sitter should do, and she did it all with a caring and capable attitude
Duha was such a light to have in our home while we were away. She kept us updated with beautiful photos of our dogs throughout her stay and didn’t leave their side once. I’ve never felt so comfortable with any other sitter and I truly hope this won’t be the last time she sits for us.
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.
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.

Arlo loves this place ! Goes most days and runs in and comes home exhausted from a great day she does have here with the staff and other dogs. I’d highly recommend people to use here. It’s a home away from home for your pets with a Piece of mind.
Left my dogs here for one week while on holiday they were very happy and looked well looked after when I collected them Karina seems like a lovely person from my experience and my dogs were happy and healthy when I arrived to collect them they were a bit smelly but that's sort of to be expected 🤣🤣🤣. Also got a few video updates and they looked extremely happy in them. Also one was extremely afraid of everything as we got her at 5months and I don't know what trama she experienced but was far more confident and relaxed coming home which was brilliant thank you so much guys 💖.
I left my dog here a few weeks ago and I’ve only got around to leaving a review Now. I left my dog in fidos and went away for two weeks and when i came back to collect my dog, it was skin and bone and the dog was fearful and I left lots of food for the dog and no food was returned and the dog was certainly not getting it. I would advise anyone thinking of leaving their dog here to think again and try to leave your dog with a relative or neighbour that likes dogs. Please don’t leave your dog here.!!!
Left our cat here for 1 week, His second time here (Now a new place ‘ Fidos4eva Kennels’) Very well looked after and Kerina & her husband Emmet are an absolute asset to this place. Really caring and kind animal people. Rang me to check in about our cat, ( who is fussy) very easy to reach by WhatsApp - I’m sorry about peoples past experiences with the previous place but I wish the absolute best for Kerina & Emmet with Fidos as our cat was really well looked after by them 🫶🏻🫶🏻
This is P&E Kennels rebranded (see #justicefornova) I boarded my dog there when it was P&E and filled in my phone details for contact in case of a problem for my dog. I recently was added to a fundraising whatsapp group by the owner, in which my phone details could be viewed by hundreds of strangers. I did not consent to my details being used. In terms of boarding kennels, my dog came home to us uninjured but frightened and reactive towards strange dogs. I would never send her there again.
*Edit* They've since rebranded AGAIN to "Fidos4eva Kennels" DO NOT leave your dogs here. DO NOT. I don't usually write reviews, but it's best to never leave your dogs here. Also, finding out that this is " P&E " rebranded, from the reviews solidifies everything. Don't bring your pets here.
Went and viewed hotel for pets and the kennels was spotless had my 2 dogs stay for 3 days and the dogs were well cared for paddy collected and dropped them back which was great service. Thanks kerina and paddy highly recommend to friends/ family!
This seems to be an attempt at rebranding by P&E Boarding Kennels following their previous scandal. I would suggest anyone leaving a dog here does a quick google search and match the address and business owners because it seems to be no more than an attempt to change the name after the dust settled and the adverse publicity died down.
Brilliant excellent service i have been using hotel for pets for the last 4 years would highly recommend
Paddy provides a great service for my two dogs. They are both always delighted to go in and they really enjoy the social aspects with other dogs. highly recommended.
Chewy is our little Chihuahua and with us travelling often, there is no better care than Rose and the team from Outpaws. They give him love and cuddles just the way he likes it. We are so grateful for them, looking after Chewy as if he is their own. Thank you girls, it is always a pleasure making use of your services..and thank you for loving Chewy…🐶
Laoise and the Outpaws team have walked our dog Ted several times when we have been on holiday as he has been staying with family in the area that they cover. They have always been so accommodating of dates and times and his stubborn ways! We really appreciate the updates and photos they give from his walks so that we can see how he is while we’re away. He’s always delighted and well cared for. I wish we lived closer so that we could use them for regular walks but look forward to using them again next time we are away.
Our dogs love OUTPAWS!!! We’ve had the pleasure of Rose and Georgia looking after them over the past two years, on separate occasions, and the peace of mind it has given us has been enormous. We’ve been able to go on holidays knowing they are getting superb care, attention and stimulation. We took great comfort from our initial conversations with Laoise, where we immediately knew we’d connected with someone we would trust with the most precious members of the family. Our subsequent meetings with Rose and Georgia confirmed our instincts that this is not only a highly professional business but is a business where the doggies are front and centre of all aspects of the fantastic service provided. We have no hesitation in recommending Laoise and her wonderful team to anyone who needs someone to move into their home to look after their doggies. And the doggies endorse this with their top paw marks too.
Moved to Ireland back in October and found Laoise and her team. Can't say enough good things about them! Remy doesn't do well with kennels, so having someone come stay at the house with him was very appealing. Best idea ever! Georgia has stayed with him twice now; both times for a week. We can really tell she loves animals and Remy obviously enjoys spending time with her. What I appreciate the most are the videos and pics we receive multiple times a day showing Remy living his best life on walks, playing ball, or napping because he's worn out from all the walks and ball. Remy is cherished member of our family and it warms my heart to be able to leave him with someone that shows him as much love as we do!
We had a fantastic experience with OUTPAWS a few weeks ago. Our dog Bailey was minded by the lovely Georgia for a week while we were away. We met Georgia in advance and she was very friendly and clearly experienced in minding animals. We felt very safe and secure with her minding Bailey and got lots of great updates throughout the week. Bailey looked happy and was brought on lots of walks. We will definitely be using OUTPAWS again. I would highly recommend them to anyone.
Louise runs a very supportive, caring business for dog owners and her amazing team. We have contacted Louise on four occasions in the last 7 months and each time has been a great success, Noodles is cared for in her own surroundings and we are sent daily reports of Noodles walks, including cuddle time - all of the team are studying veterinary care so we also feel secure knowing that she is cared for by genuine animal lovers. Louise is incredibly efficient and makes arrangement by WhatsApp and payment easy - we would be lost without them!
Laoise is the most capable and loving dog walker we’ve ever used. Our vizsla Amber rushes to the door when she hears her car pull up and is buzzing with excitement trying to tell us about her run and swim when she comes back and soon flops on the couch from tiredness. Laoise has made our move to Dublin a few years ago manageable by helping us with Amber.
Thanks for all your hard work and patience with Kobe! He adores you all and we are definitely reaping the benefits of all the hard work you guys put into making him a better pup! Amazing service and we look forward to working with you next year
We've been using Outpaws for a few months now and I am delighted with the service. Laoise and the team are really professional and easy to work with. We confirm our walking schedule each Sunday, which gives me the flexibility I need with my new hybrid work schedule. Communication is great, so we know who is coming when, and I get photos throughout Pudding's play in the park. I feel like the team care about my pup as much as I do, and trust them to take care of her during her hour-long outing. She comes home happy and tired, ready to nap through my afternoon Zoom calls. This has made the return to the office so much easier for me, as I know Pudds is having a great day even when I'm gone and she's a much easier office-mate when I'm WFH. Her schedule isn't disrupted no matter what my work day looks like thanks to the Outpaws team.
Nemo has been with laoise 4 years …. She is so kind and Nemo loves going there. We would be lost without her … she treats Nemo as her own …. Thank you orla and Nemo
The happy dog house is the most amazing place with the most amazing staff. My Rocky has been going since he was a couple of months old and he absolutely loves it. The staff are so kind and caring and genuinely love every single dog in their care. I can’t say thank you enough for looking after Rocky so well.
My dog cannot contain her excitement arriving here and is KOd when leaving, a great service
Maggie runs in the door to play with all her playschool friends! She is so well looked after by the amazing team. Love the pic updates!! Thanks as always!
Very disappointed with this care, I got a call in a middle of my working day from one of the employee saying that our dog turn on on another dog for no reason, they didn’t see but assuming it’s our dog. Bear in mind there was never an issue with whomever he was playing and staying, only in this care all of a sudden! My partner had to left his job and pick him up immediately even tho the dog who was apparently “attacked” was totally fine! There was no explanation whatsoever from them except that out dog is GREAT but they cannot have him any longer, we basically got kicked out like a pile of trash. Horrible
Great day care for dogs. Very handy and very reasonable price. Staff are all lovely and very friendly and the dog absolutely loves coming here.
Our dog absolutely loves going here and staff are incredibly friendly and they really love what they do
Our two dogs love going each week and the staff are extremely helpful and friendly.
The Happy Dog House is my dog's favourite place. The owner and staff are wonderful and I wouldn't leave my dog anywhere else!
Mary and the team are great. Wonderful service and Peggy loves it here
The happy dog house just the perfect place staff are just amazing.
I was here for a corporate volunteer event. The grounds are lovely and I took three larger dogs for a walk, one at a time. All animals are well cared for. If I was ever to foster adopt a dog or a cat I would come to DSPCA.
This just popped up in my Google reviews so I’ll give it 5 star ⭐️ 😊 The little Pup cakes 🧁🥰 very cute. Cafe closed on Mondays. Great scenery. Plenty of car spaces too. My dog loves going here once a week to the cafe and walking around the area. Very peaceful too. …
My dog, Loki, loves his stays at the DSPCA Pet Hotel. The facilities are clean and spacious. The staff are trustworthy and reliable. They always take excellent care and ensure he gets plenty of walks and attention. There's a vet nearby, just in case anything ever goes wrong. I'm always reassured that my dog is safe and in good hands here.
They ask lots of questions so that everything goes smoothly. You need to bring your pets food for their entire stay. And you need to show proof of vaccines too. Everything is clean and well maintained. They’re good at marketing and will have you buying your pet treats in the reception area.
My visit to DSPCA for corporate event was exceptional. Spending time with the dogs was incredibly rewarding and inspired by Organization's dedication to animal welfare. I had a great time.
Our dog stayed with the Pet Hotel for 3 nights and 4 days. He is a bit introverted, very shy with new people and a bit anxious to say the least so we were anxious about his stay with anyone who wasn't a family member or friend of ours that he knows. He got on great overall and looked like he was enjoying his 1 on 1 time from photos we got. We requested updates on his stay and photos and the staff were great to get some lovely photo album worthy photos and they asked for tips to get him to eat all his food as he would tend to not eat it all when he is out of his normal routine. Noteworthy he has allergies and takes a tablet for those also daily. Overall we are happy he was well looked after by experienced professional and kind staff and of course that there are vets on site if any issues. I was overly anxious to leave our fur baby anywhere else to be honest except the DSCPA. I volunteered with their shelter dog section one time and was so impressed with the volunteers and their passion, love and care for all the doggies seeking homes. Will definitely use the pet hotel again in future!
Fabulous place, Bella was looked after so well. She loves it there! Staff are so good with her.
DO NOT LEAVE YOUR DOGS HERE!! We left our fur babies, Daisy and Dug in the DSPCA pet hotel for the weekend of our wedding because we thought we were paying for the best place possible and wouldn’t need to worry- how wrong we were. Throughout their stay we asked for pictures but received none which raised some concerns. When we picked them up we were told there were no issues whatsoever and they had a great time. Upon getting them in the car, we noticed Dug’s eye was filled with blood. Then when we got home we saw cuts/grazes on both Daisy and Dug’s elbows. We took them to the vet for treatment and they said it looked like they scratched against something. When we contacted the hotel, they proceeded to tell us they didn’t know when it happened and tried to blame the dogs by saying they played very rough together. Two dogs that live together all their lives and play every single day without issue. They are very clearly neglecting the dogs that are in their care if they can’t even notice when they are physically injured. We will never be leaving our dogs with them again and would discourage anyone who is considering leaving their dogs here.
Would like to thank everyone at the DSPCA per hotel for looking after our fur baby while we were on holiday. She enjoyed her stay at the hotel. It was great peace of mind to know that she was in safe hands while we were away. 😊 …
Great staff. Dogs have plenty to do all day long and are well looked after. My dog loves it! A huge benefit of this pet day care is the fact there is no need to book the space in advance, and they are open 7am - 7pm, which is very convenient in case of last minutes arrangements.
Marx had his first hydrotherapy session here last week. Andrew the hydrotherapist is very good with the dogs and knows what he is doing. Marx isn't mad about water so I was surprised about how calm he was during his session.
I really like this place. The staff is always super friendly, and the grooming service is great.
My dog Charlie (Bichon x Maltese) is 12 years old and has never come out of a groom looking as cute as he did from The Canine Centre. We usually hold our breaths to see how odd he'll look after a groom, but honestly this time we've just been smothering him in attention and love that he's so adorable. Steph did such a great job with shaping his fur so he doesn't look like a skinny rat. Thank you so so much!
Our 4 year old bichon Pookie has had the best grooms ever here. We have tried all of the top groomers in the area and the canine Centre comes out on top by far. She also loves her 2 days a week in the doggie day care there and can’t contain herself as we drive in to drop her off. We recently got a new Maltese puppy Molly who also has a challenging coat. I was so stressed about the amount of matting when bringing her up for her first groom today. The groomer was so lovely and understanding about it and did an exceptional job without shaving her full coat. I cannot praise the canine Centre enough.
Nanook was very nervous for her groom, but everyone in the Canine Centre made sure she was well looked after and calm. Being a Cockapoo and knowing that she needs to be groomed regularly how the staff treated her reassured me she was in the best hands. She came back smelling beautifully and looking fantastic! Looking forward to her next appointment.
I wasn't there to drop off or pick up my dog but I came home to see what a great job the groomer had done!! Monty isn't the easiest of clients but Emma was well able to manage him and gave him a fantastic groom. Can't get over how good he looks - he's like a new dog!
All we have to say is Naomi and her gang are the best. Our Minni has been going to her for 11 years (since she was 2 I think. Now going on 13) for grooming they have always done a fab job. We tried another groomers once who did an awful job and since then it’s always back to Naomis place, they know how to groom according to the breed. Naomi, thank you for everything. I now work in a pet shop and I recommend you guys all the time.
Lovely staff, the place has a really good energy! Highly recommend.
The girls in the Canine Centre did an amazing job grooming my dog Zeus, he looked as proud as punch when i picked him up. Highly recommend these guys for grooming and day care! Thank you 🙏 …
Started taking my Lurcher pup here a few weeks ago. He loves it! Naomi and the staff are really helpful and attentive, they know all of the dogs personalities and requirements, and take excellent care of them. They also put loads of photos on their instagram which is a nice way to see what your dogs are are up to! They're also always available on the phone if you have any concerns. Complete peace of mind.
Meow Care is just fabulous! From the first point of contact with Alice to the actual minding of my 2 Devon Rex cats they were fantastic. Andrea came every day and knew exactly how to handle our reserved cats…the photos and videos were fantastic and I got to see how my 2 girls went from not wanting to engage on day one to getting better and better with Andrea each day (it didn’t take long, day 2 they were coming up and being more open to knowing her which is a testament to her knowledge of cats and I could tell they missed her when I came home). I couldn’t be happier with the service and with the absolutely fantastic care Meow Care and Andrea gave.
I would like to share the experience that my partner and me had with Maow Care and strongly not recommend using this service if you really want a trustworthy person or service to take care if your cat. We went on vacation and hired the service and got assigned our cat sitter, everything looked normal at the beginning. Right after we landed the plane, we had the first message from our sitter saying that we had an alarm beeping on our house. We were concerned as the sitter told us that we could have neighbors upset by the noise, so we asked her about it and got any response. I am from Spain and my partner parents live on Cork and other trusted contacts we have didn’t have the keys of the apartment. We left emergency contacts for our sitter that she didn’t use, we tried to arrange some or our contacts on the city to check the alarm noise with the cat sitter and she didn’t response as well. We got any notice until next day after more of 24 hours, when she said she was going late to visit our cat, which was after 9PM, which is also a weird time to visit a cat. We tried to call the sitter to have more information about the alarm noise and to try to help her to find the issue and fix it, but she didn’t response the call or gave us any information. As a consequence, we had to book a flight back as we were very worried about our cat and the neighbors. Next day, my partner messaged the sitter to ask her to let the keys on the table because we were comming back at evening. She responded that basically, our cat didn’t look affected by the noise and seemed to be OK. After we came back to our apartment, we found out that was a lie. Our cat vomited and defecated out of her litter, thing that she never has done before, she looked thiner, extremely tired and a bit sick, we assumed it was consequence of the noise. We discovered that the alarm had an issue that was causing a constant high frequency beep every 10 seconds. We had to cancel our holidays, lost a lot of money and on top of that, we were told our cat was Ok when she clearly was not, for a problem that could have been fixed very easily in 10 seconds, the time it took us to de-attach the alarm and move the back switch to “off” I encourage that if other people has had similar problems with Maow Care, please speak out and also give diffusion of our case. We had pictures of conversations and situation when we came back and we’ll study taking more actions as the solution they gave us was, the incredible opportunity the enjoy their “great” services for free, we couldn’t even had our money back from this terrible experience that I wouldn’t recommend to even my worst enemy. #maowcare #cathealth #catsittingservice #catsitter #ireland #dublin
Alice is very knowledgeable and very dedicated to cats. She can also help with any cat behaviour questions. Her cat sitting service in Dublin has been there for a long time and only gets busier.
Highly recommended Maow Care. Alice was so accommodating for us and made everything stress free for us and our cat. Our cat (who is quite nervous and anxious) loved our cat sitter and provided updates to us each day and made her feel so comfortable. Would happily recommend to anyone looking for a sitter.
Very happy with the service. Amazing contact with Alice and our cat sitter, I really liked the daily Whatsapp updates. I felt that people working at Maow Care are passionate about cats and know how to take care of them.
Maow care offers a wonderful service that makes it possible for our cats to stay at home when we go away. We know that we are leaving our pets in the best hands as Alice and her team have all the logistics (key-hand over, feeding schedule, emergency contacts, etc) carefully worked out, they keep in touch regularly, and most important of all, are real cat-lovers themselves. And with two cats, the price is lower than what a cattery would charge.
Maow Care provides an exceptional service. Alice is a cat whisperer and she brings the very highest standards of professionalism, knowledge, generosity, and sincere care to all that she does. She is continually researching and learning, and passes this learning on to her clients formally through her excellent courses, and also informally through advice and support. We will always be grateful that we found Alice and Maow Care.
Truly professional service from start to finish. Alice is an amazing resource for all things feline. Caring and pragmatic, she runs other cat focused programs, Pet first aid Courses and the Dublin Cat Fair. Always 100% reliable and trustworthy.
I've trusted Alice and Janette from Maowcare with minding our cats for over 3 yrs now (having had a bad experience with a well meaning but inexperienced neighbour before that) I can relax knowing they're professionally looked after by people who love and understand cats. They play with them, make sure litter is all clean, feed as per instructions and I get a daily whatsapp update with lots of great pics! (they even water our plants!) They're the best, trusted professionals. I'd be lost without them 😻
Trustworthy, reliable, dependable cat sitter who is very serious about the service she provides. Willing to go the extra mile. Flexible and always able to accommodate any special requests I may have. Doesn't only feed and water the cat, but always plays and interacts with your furry friend while you are away, because good cat care is more than just food.
We have been using pet sitters for the past 5 months or so a few times a week and they have been brilliant. Jessica our main sitter is outstanding and really looks after the dogs so well. We had an issue this week whilst on holidays abroad. A family member suddenly was unable to mind our pets and this happened while we were away. We rang Mike and he immediately at no notice at all sorted a live in sitter for the last few days of our holiday. James came to the house and took over and we couldn’t be happier with the care he gave. We are so grateful for this wonderful service. We would be lost without Mike and his team 🙌🙌
An absolutely brilliant service. Mike was very professional and thorough when looking after my 2 cats during my time away. From the very first "meet and greet" session, all my previous concerns disappeared. I really appreciated the daily photos and updates as well, a complete peace of mind from start to finish. Honestly cannot recommend them enough, superb job from the whole team. - Alex P.S. Alisa and Luna say hi
Amazing service! We had Valeria staying with our three dogs for just over a week and she treated them so well. They were really happy and relaxed when we came home after our trip. She communicated any concerns with us and sent us regular updates! We will be using this service again in the future. It's a great feeling knowing your pets are taken care of while you're not home.
I was nervous of the idea of using a Petsitter as we have typically relied on family previously. From the initial enquiry call from Mike, I was instantly relieved we had another option for our two dogs, one being reactive, kennels just isn’t an option. From the initial video call with our sitter, Chrissy, to get to know her, we knew our dogs were in really safe and capable hands. From the moment she walked in the door our dogs liked her. She took the time to ask about their habits and routines and what they liked. Sending photos and updates several times throughout the weekend where they looked lovely and relaxed. As a bonus our house was also looked after while we were gone. We couldn’t recommend this service enough and Chrissy for being brilliant! 100% recommend and will be using again, thank you for taking care of Scout and Pepper!
Very happy with the service we received. Davi the sitter kept in contact with us throughout the 9 days. Cats looked happy, healthy and importantly relaxed on our return. Davi sent us videos so we could see them and see that they were relaxed while we were away. This was our first time using Pet Sitters Ireland and we will definitely book again when the need arises. A real sense of relief to know out beloved pets are safe and in good hands.
Amazing service! Our little dachshund Daphne is nervous of strangers so we were extremely anxious to leave her while we got married. Michael the owner is so lovely and friendly, he really put us at ease and arranged everything for us. Daphne stayed with Paul & Jane who looked after her like she was their own dog. She settled in so well with Paul & Jane, it shows how gentle and caring they are towards animals. We got regular updates and they even travelled to our wedding ceremony so Daphne could be part of the day. It was so wonderful to have her there. We cannot thank you all enough for everything you have done for us and Daphne. We wouldn't hesitate to leave Daphne in your care again. We will be highly recommending you to everyone we know.
I had a wonderful pet sitter called Emilia. She was absolutely fantastic so kind to my cat Ozzie. She did an amazing job and is a credit to the company. In the run up to organising my trip the owner Mike and anyone I spoke to in the office were so nice and helpful. I am always nervous to leave my cat as he is an older cat but I wouldn’t trust him with anyone else. I got updates and photos and felt totally at ease that he had the best care. Great service Great people ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Highly recommend using pet sitters. They are very professional and responsible. Furthermore the open communication is excellent . I felt very comfortable leaving my two rescue dogs in their care. The pictures and updates were wonderful to receive. Thank you so much for the incredible service you and your team provide.
My dachshund Danann took part in the Nose of Tralee 2024 as the Kildare Nose and it’s been the most fun experience! Kate from Pet Sitters is a pleasure to work with and sent us out some lovely treats and a beautiful sash for Danann to campaign in! We had so much fun making videos, taking pictures and writing up a blog for Danann during and in the run up to the final of the competition! Kate kept the excitement and going for all of the Noses from beginning to end of the process! We had so much craic and would definitely recommend that our dog/cat loving pals apply next year!
Would strongly discourage using this service. I had a ‘meet and greet’ with a sitter who was booked to come and look after my pet. I didn’t hear from her on the day she was supposed to come nor was a pet care journal entry completed. I text to see if she had any issues and received no response. On the following day she contacted me directly to ask if her boyfriend could use my parking space when ‘they’ came over to walk my dog. I asked her again how was he previous visit as I hadn’t heard anything. She proceeds to tell me she never came because she had to go away and gave me the name of the girl who came in her place. I was not informed by anybody at the company that a stranger I had never met had been given the key code and access to my property. They had gone in and taken my dog out without me knowing and ever having met him. They had no instructions as to what he needs, where his lead etc. And food were. It was absolutely horrendous to think of a stranger entering your home and taking your dog out without your permission, never mind how stressful this would be for the dog. The manager eventually ‘text’ me an apology and said he had not thought to inform me that the sitter I had paid for was not available and he had supplied access instructions to another person without my knowledge/consent. I would not trust this service again. Have had to change my door code as I have no idea how many people know my access details now.
My cavapoo Rufus has stayed both for daycare and overnight boarding with Vetsit and most recently a long holiday which he absolutely adored. Rufus can be an anxious pup both around dogs and when spending time away from his family but it’s clear to me he has found both a second home and an extension of family with the other pups and staff at Vetsit. While away on holidays, Rufus received the VIP Vetsit experience as aside from the endless cuddles, I was able to avail of regular hair brushing, tooth brushing and a dog bath which left him looking and feeling his best during and after his stay! The staff have been nothing short of amazing, always giving me peace of mind with daily pictures of him and his friends on their Instagram, daily updates on their website and a direct contact number for any queries I might have at any time. If you’re looking for a place you can trust, look no further, they are pawsitively the best in the business 🐾
Wally absolutely adored his recent weeks holiday to VetSit, and from seeing all of the photos and updates it is no surprise why! He spent his days making lots of new pals, running around in the fields and charming lots of cuddles with all of the staff. We were anxious leaving him given how spoilt he is at home, but the regular photos on Instagram and on our VetSit account reassured us he had instantly been made one of the family. We came home to a happy, healthy Wally who will absolutely be back after the above and beyond care and fun he had at VetSit.
For the last couple of years our two dogs Lottie and Mia have gone weekly to Vetsit for doggy daycare and have also stayed overnight on a number of occasions. The team are so kind and caring. Mia is an older dog and Lottie is very small and can be nervous at times around other dogs, and the team cater to their needs and look after them so well, going above and beyond. They also get their grooming done at Vetsit during daycare every couple of months, and we regularly get compliments on how well groomed they are afterwards. I can’t recommend Vetsit enough!
Our two dogs stayed last weekend for their first overnight. We were really happy. The dogs were happy. Then staff are all very authentic and passionate about dogs. Lovely videos of our two dogs having fun in the field and we could see the nice warm sofas the dogs sleep on. The team take an individual approach to each dog. We are booked for a week now and I feel a lot of peace of mind in letting Katie Amy and the VetSit team mind our dogs.
My 2 pups have been visiting Vetsit for over two years now. The staff are excellent and always take such great care of them both. One of my dogs is very nervous and anxious, but LOVES her visits! My other is older and has had a few health issues. She is always well cared for. I could not recommend them enough.
Vet Sit is a wonderful service. Staff are welcoming of the owner as well as the dog! It is a pleasure to deal with a professional team in a beautiful setting. We have used the grooming and dog boarding service 5 stars 👏for both! Jackie The Scalp …
Teidi and Daisy got on brilliantly at VetSit! We are so pleased that we have somewhere safe that can take care of both of our dogs. Our eldest, Teidi, has never been in a boarding environment before and usually gets minded by friends and family...which is much harder to arrange now that we have Daisy. VetSit was like a home from home. The dogs were well exercised and calm when they came home. The staff member who greeted us was so warm and reassuring. We are thrilled that we have found VetSit.
Lilly Pug has been going to VetSit regularly for daycare and boarding since she was old enough to do so, and she absolutely loves it! Lilly is very much a Mama's girl and VetSit is one of the few places she'll actively go into without a backward glance to check that I'm there too. She always comes home happy and tired out from having so much fun! VetSit's facilities are second to none with acres of fields for the dogs to run around and play, comfortable sleeping areas and a team of people who obviously love what they do and love the animals in their care. Simply put, they're the best in the business!
It was Molly’s first time at VetSit and she loved it! All the staff are always very friendly and helpful, and they really take a very good care of all dogs. Our Molly is still a baby, she’s only 3 months old and the staff managed to look after her very very well. VetSit is like a paradise for dogs:) Big Thank You to all staff! We will see you soon. Best regards, Lili
Our 2 dogs absolutely loved their recent stay at vetsit. The team are so lovely and looked after the dogs so well. We were able to see the dogs each day on the Instagram updates and they always looked like they were loving the freedom of running around in the fields. One of our dogs is older and the girls were really conscious of this. I can highly recommend this for a lovely homely place to leave your loved ones… !
Linda and Russell are two in a billion. Our dog Buddy is blind and we simply would not leave him with anyone other than Woofs. He runs in the door to them every time, tail wagging! You will not find a more genuine, courteous, friendly and professional pair, who put the dogs first at all times. As they don’t do drop ins, the small number of dogs they take are all very comfortable together which makes for a wonderful, relaxed, home environment, particularly important for Buddy. We are incredibly lucky to have found them and couldn’t recommend them more.
Linda and Russell run an amazing business. They are incredibly attentive and welcomed Frank with open arms! I was very hesitant sending Frank off to doggie daycare initially, but from day 1 it was clear he felt right at home! Would highly recommend this service.
My dog absolutely loves coming here for daycare, he has the best time and Linda looks after him so well. He can’t wait to get out of the car each morning to greet her and it’s such a relief knowing he is happy and being looked after each day.
I feel so lucky to have found Linda and Russell as my dog can be nervous yet since he started going to Woof Doggie Day Care, he has developed so much under the great care of Linda and Russell. They are professional, kind and loving to animals. It is a great comfort to know Pepe is so well cared for in a friendly, expert and animal loving home. As Linda and Russell do not do drop ins, I know they have a small number of dogs who are all well cared for in a home from home environment. Highly recommend and thank you Linda and Russell.
Linda and Russel are the most amazing couple who clearly love dogs. Bowie adores going to hang out with them and races in every morning! She comes home happy and tired from her day of playing and exploring the mountains. We have been going to Woof doggy daycare for three years and couldn’t recommend them highly enough.
I cannot recommend Woof Doggie Day Care enough. My puppy was only 4 months old when he first went, and loved it from day one. As soon as I pulled up outside he’d bound towards the door tail wagging, and picking him up he’d be happy and tired. It was so nice to know I didn’t have to worry about him while I was at work. Linda and Russell are kind, caring and it’s clear they love every dog as their own, I’m moving abroad and only wish I could bring them with me! They are honestly the best in the business and I highly recommend them for minding your fur baby! I know Percy will miss them heaps.
Linda and Russell at Woof Doggie Day Care have been looking after my dog, Lily, for well over a year now. From the start, they always treated Lily like their own while she was with them; they cared for her so well, always providing regular updates to me on her activities and general well being. Lily has loved attending Woof and always so excited every morning we arrive for day care - she would literally drag me to the door, so eager to get in! I really consider Linda and Russell as Lily’s family and would recommend them above anyone else to care for your precious pooch!
What a fantastic couple Linda and Russell are. Bailey has been going to them every week for the last 4 years, and she bounds in there with pure excitement every morning and it's so clear that they love the dogs they look after. We have conversations about the dogs like they are children and what they get up to on a daily basis, which makes me feel the love even more! I would highly recommend Woof Doggie Day Care - we were so lucky to find it!
Best doggy day care, pixie my dog loved it there, so excited everytime she saw where she was going!! Such a pity we moved from the area, I doubt I'll will find a daycare as good anywhere else.. Linda & Russell are fabulous people who clearly love the dogs as if they are their own! 5 + stars
Woof Doggie Daycare is the absolute best for our dog Barkley. He loves going there and jumps out of the car and runs in tail wagging every morning he’s there!!! Linda and Russell are great and treat the dogs like their own. Highly recommended 👍😊🐶 …
Fiona made everything seemless and easy from the first phonecall. She is an absolute pleasure to deal with and apart from her fabulous manner with people and dogs she is so skilled and fantastic at what she does. My dogs were so engrossed with Fiona we were able to see fantastic results by the end of the first session. Fiona is prompt at coming back to you and shows up on time and sends on clear and comprehensive instructions. After the first session she was kind enough to send on helpful notes and resources and videos. I cannot recommend Fiona highly enough. Thank you.
Not reliable. Poor communication. Sent few emails, few weeks ago requesting dog service, I then received a reply few days later asking for more info about my dog. I then replied straight away but never received any response since then. I sent a couple of more emails after that, asking for an update but got complete ignored. I don't expect the service to be available for me but I would like to at least receive a response, so I can look somewhere else. I wouldn't trust leaving my dog with this company/person, due to the lack/poor communication.
Super service. Fiona came to the house and in no time had my French Bulldog doing things we struggled to do. Everything is explained in detail and we were given a total different route to training Larry and he picks up instructions now almost instantly. Fiona has made the next steps in training Larry so much clearer, quicker and easier. Excellent job I’d give more than 5 stars if I could.
Lovely experience for pet and owner. Plenty of homework. Fiona has fanastic knowledge but keeps her training skills simple and practical. Lovely lady.
Amazing lady that helped me out at short notice with Lily as I was let down by another agency. Would highly recommend. Fiona kept me updated every evening as to how Lily was getting on.
Fiona is amazing, we would be lost without her. Highly recommend.
I would highly recommend All 4paws to anyone that is looking for a professional trainer. Gained some great knowledge. Fantastic service allround.
