Another amazing sit by Anna and her lovely family - our cocker spaniel Holly has had the best fortnight with these guys with lots of adventures and endless amounts of love and attention! Highly recommend as 5-star house and pet sitters - thank you Anna - hope to see you again!
Natalie and Christian were dream pet sitters while we were out of the country for 2.5 weeks. From start to finish, they were reliable and professional, with excellent communication. They had took great care of our dog and chickens and left the house and car in great shape. Plus, they’re just a really sweet young couple. We’d highly recommend them as house sitters.
Prashant and India were fantastic pets sitters for us. Both were dependable and were even kind enough to allow some service people into the home to do some repairs. Our dogs were well looked after and we got daily updates on how the dogs were doing. Prashant is very knowledgeable and gave us a few strategies to combat some negative behaviors that we were seeing with the dogs. Could not recommend them more. They will be missed.
Anant was a great sitter and a friendly guy. Kept me up to date re his arrival and with Marie & Toulouse during the sit. Found my house exactly as I had left it. Would highly recommend Anant to other pet parents.
Initially, I was very nervous about finding my very first in-home pet sitter who could provide the level of care and attention our 3 beloved fur-kids required. From the moment Emily and Johnny stepped into our home, I knew they were going to be in good hands. Their gentle demeanor and genuine love for animals instantly put our dogs Gypsy & Johnny at ease. Emily and Johnny took the time to understand our pets’ unique personalities and preferences, ensuring that their every need would be met. During our absence, Emily provided us with regular updates and adorable photos. Their detailed communication gave me peace of mind, knowing that my fur babies were in the best possible hands. Upon our return, we were greeted by a happy and contented gang, who clearly had enjoyed their time with Emily and Johnny. Emily and Johnny are more than just pet sitters; they are true companions to our furry family. Their exceptional care, genuine love for animals, and unwavering dedication have earned them a permanent spot in our hearts. Without hesitation, we give Emily and Johnny a 5-star rating and highly recommend their services to anyone seeking trustworthy and loving caregivers for their beloved pets. THANK YOU Emily and Johnny!!! <3
Not only did our pets enjoy meeting Kelly and Christopher, my husband and I enjoyed meeting them as well! They are personable and kind, organized and communicative, and most of all excellent pet sitters. Kelly and Chris are attentive housesitters. They went out of their way to connect with our dogs, especially Smitty, our rescue. The dogs were walked, brushed, and played with throughout the weeklong sit. They sent pics of how our fur babies were doing and truly seemed to enjoy their time with them. The peace of mind that comes with great house sitters who care for your precious pups and the home you love is priceless. Thank you once again, Kelly and Christopher! We hope to see you again!
Ce was an amazing house sitter for our best bud Atlas. She not only took amazing care of our needy pup, she took great care of the home as well. I honestly think she left it cleaner than I left it for her! We certainly hope she is around the next time our best friend needs a friend. If you're looking for a responsible caregiver for your pets and home - look no further!
Kuldip exceeded all the expectations we had from a Zeewoi. She took over from another sitter when we got stuck out of country due to a family emergency. A highly energetic person yet extremely organized, she easily matched the energy level of my 2-year-old Border Collie Pavo. She not only exercised him multiple times every day, but even him bought him new doggy toys and treats (much appreciated!). She got along very well with our neighbor and with their combined help Pavo got a much needed doggy bath! With her by my dogs side we were worry-free and able to focus on our family needs. Lastly, she left a pleasant surprise when we came back home. Our home looked squeaky clean and beautifully organized. Kuldip is a gem of a pet sitter and we would love to have her back for our fur baby without any hesitation. I highly recommend her!
Farhan is a fantastic house sitter! I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a down-to-earth, kind, and caring pet sitter for their home. We have three small dogs (around 6 lbs) and he took excellent care of them. They can be a little nervous/ timid around new people, and more so around men at times, but the dogs didn't show any of that nervousness around Farhan! He was gentle and respectful of their space and they warmed up to him immediately. I got a wonderful text the first morning that I was away that they cuddled up with him at night - showing how quickly they adjusted to him as their caretaker. I was able to meet Farhan in person before I left on my trip and I was able to have a wonderful conversation with an ambitious explorer. He is a delightful person. Upon my homecoming the house was very clean and the dogs were happy and relaxed. I can't ask for anything more! Thank you Farhan for taking such wonderful care of our three dogs and our home.
Tom was the PERFECT pet and house sitter. I went out of town for a while after my dad passed, and I had a few pet sitters bail before he came in for the rescue. He cleaned up the messes and I came home to a clean house and VERY happy babies! My two dogs LOVED him. He is extremely reliable, clean, trustworthy and was incredibly caring to my dogs. I would have him back ANYTIME and HIGHLY recommend him!!

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!
We recently left our dog Coco for 9 days. We had a very bad experience with previous kennels. There was no need to worry. As a far as we could see our dog was looked after very well. She was very happy there and played every day with others dogs. We would highly recommend Foxhill kennels. A big thanks to Duggy and Dean. Regards. Wile and Margaret
Top class. My dog was so well looked after. He was brought on loads of long walks. It's very obvious this place is run by dog lovers. Reasonable rates and would definitely recommend. If I could give more than 5 stars I would 😊 …
Absolutely best kennels around... Dougie is a gent and our Dog loves going on his holidays to Foxhill... Very reasonable rates
Houch is an incredible dog trainer. We had our 4 year old cocker spaniel stay with him for 2 weeks (Mon-Fri) whilst we were away on holidays as we didn’t want to put him in standard kennels. Like most dogs, Loki had areas of his behaviour that he needed to improve on. There is a lot of nonsense out there when it comes to dog training, but Houch cuts the crap. The best money we have spent to date on dog training and I would highly recommend. Thank you.
Hooch is absolutely amazing at what he does he knows everything there is to know about the dogs and people he meets. He has helps us no end over the years with our doggies and I will be eternally grateful such an incredible man would highly recommend to anyone I meet
Brought my 18 month old boxer George to Houch. George was extremely reactive to humans and dogs, after 2 hours with Houch we left with a completely different dog. Houch is a genius when it comes to communicating with dogs. Very grateful for your help and I can only highly recommend the Canine Behaviour Centre. Many Thanks Joe.
Brought my 4 month old Staffie to Houch as I was having trouble training her. Honestly I could not recommend him more. He gave me so much advice on training bonding, and communicating with my dog. The difference I've noticed in her in a few shorts weeks has been amazing. We can now go for walks together as she doesn't pull me down the road anymore. Houch is amazing with dogs and he makes training your dog easy to understand, and also fun. 10/10 would highly recommend.
We had our 10 month old dog in for a 1 on 1 session and would highly recommend it. Houch has a great way with dogs. Hes very knowledgeable and you can tell how passionate he is about dogs. Its a pleasure to see Houch at work gaining the dogs trust from the minute they walk in the door. The two hour session was intense,fun and mentally exhausting for our dog but he was so happy and he responded so well. The improvements can be seen straight away. I would highly recommend this service to any dog owner. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We brought our 19 month old Cockapoo to Houch for 1:1 training. Houch is like a magician. He had the dog under his spell immediately. It was such a pleasure to watch a master at work. Houch broke down the theory for us into easy steps and we came away with the knowledge and skills to have better communication with our dog. It was a very enjoyable couple of hours and I feel it was time and money very well spent. I highly recommend the Canine Behaviour Centre.
I brought my two retrievers to Houch after being highly recommend by several friends. What have I been missing. Houch has that magic touch with dogs. I would without doubt recommend him and the canine behavior centre to anyone having difficulty with their dogs. Top class Karen
Couldn’t be happier with the results from the residential training with Houch. Our dog Bobby is a better version of himself now. He had a good few issues which we wanted to address and get help with. The main issues being the lack of ability to socialise with other dogs and how reactive he was towards dogs/people. The videos we got daily on Bobby just got better and better each day to see his progress was brilliant, proud mummy and daddy here 😍 On his last day we met Houch for a training session and he made it really simple for us to be able to communicate with Bobby at home. We still can’t believe the difference in him in such a short space of time. Thank you very much ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Had Oscar in for 4 nights residential training with Houch. Highly recommend. Houch. Worked on positive communication, loose lead walking and on lead reactivity. Since returning home Oscar is more settled and happier. He had so much fun there while training - the video updates of his progress were excellent - thank you so much Houch
Amazing learned so much. Pixie is so much better after just 1 session.
