Pet Sitters in Dun Laoghaire Rathdown

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 👍😊🐶 …

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.

Been sending my dog here since they started up, Remy loves coming to the daycare and hates leaving. They always look after him and he is exhausted when the day is done. Highly recommend their service

My dog gets so excited coming here to hang out with all his pals. The girls do such a great job looking after them all and tiring them out on big adventures. The best day care around!

Our doggo loves South Bark !

Great daycare and walking service. My dogs love their time there.

Our little dog adores your service. Big thanks!!!

Excelent services

Thank you!! 🐶 …

Thank you!! ❤️❤️❤️

We are absolutely thrilled with Solen's service. Our cockatiel couldn't have been at a better and nicer place in holidays. We would strongly recommend and would bring him to her anytime again.

Thks so much for taking such good care of our ferret. Means so much to us.

Fabulous service. Our little Nico was well cared for. We highly recommend. 🦜

Our dog loved Emma and her team! We were set up with weekly walks for our pup and we were thrilled with how much fun she had, and how tired she came home. Emma is super organized, very responsive and took such good care of our dog. We are so happy we found her and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for some extra walks and care for their pet.

Emma shared her professional skills as a judge at the Monkstown Tidy District Dog Show, Sept.2024. She also offered vouchers for dog walking or training to two lucky winners! Thanks for volunteering Emma. You were brilliant and kind to both dogs and owners.

Emma and her team at Pawfit have been taking my dog for walks for the past three years and I couldn't recommend them more highly. They treat Bella with such kindness, pairing her walks with dogs that they know she will have great fun with, and taking such good care of her. Pawfit have been so helpful, and Emma goes out of her way to accommodate us. Bella is always so happy to see them, which is the highest praise.

Emma made dog coaching easy for me to understand so that I was not accidently reinforcing unwanted behaviors but without being "mean". rewarding good stuff is the way to go. Lots of treats and games do learning is fun... Bess is always exhausted after but is always delighted to spot Emma coming across the park....

Emma looked after my dog and 2 cats recently and she was fantastic. She was very friendly and a natural with the animals. She kept me updated constantly and I immediately felt like I could focus on my work trip and not need to check in on how things are. I always know if my dog has been happy or not when I return as he is emotionally delicate, being a rescue, but he clearly was very happy and I came back to a relaxed dog. Emma even sent me follow up information with tips for dog training as my dog def could be a bit better on recall. The house was super clean when I came home and I would absolutely invite Emma back and hope the dates will work in the future.

Highly recommend Pawfit for dog walking. Emma and her team are professional, careful and love dogs! Emma has walked our high energy working cocker spaniel for over 2 years and we’ve been very happy with the service. Emma is reliable, professional, insured and responsible. We particularly like that Pawfit don’t walk lots of dogs at once and only walk dogs in small groups or individually. We feel that this is much safer. Emma is lovely and is responsive to communication. It’s a big thing to trust your dog to someone else’s care and we would have no hesitation in recommending Emma and Pawfit.

When we lived in Seaport, Emma and her team were beloved by our four-year-old golden retriever. Daisy had a great relationship with all of them and would return home from her weekly walks happy, tired and sometimes a little sandy from the beach. No matter, Emma would hose her off and clean her up if she needed it. We have since moved back to the states, but when we get around to hiring a dogwalker here, Pawfit will be the standard by which they will be measured.

I cannot recommend Emma enough! Her expertise, patience, and dedication as a dog trainer is incredible. She worked with my bichon frise to address destructiveness at home, and the results have been wonderful. Emma not only helped my dog become more relaxed and fulfilled but also taught me valuable skills to be able to train him in other areas we’ve been meaning to work on for better overall behaviour. She has an enthusiastic and positive approach that made myself and my dog feel comfortable from day one. If you're looking for a professional and compassionate dog trainer, Emma is the best choice!

I could not recommend Emma & Pawfit highly enough! The level of professionalism and the undeniable love for dogs that the team has is reflected in the level of love my pup has developed for them since the very first time they came in to our lives! Having a large breed dog can come with its challenges but Emma and the team took the time to chat about my dog, his characteristics, nature, likes and dislikes before meeting him and ensuring that he was comfortable before taking him on what have been some of the best walkies he’s ever enjoyed (based on his incredibly excited reactions to seeing the team show up to take him out again and the pics and vids sent to me of their adventures while I was unable to walk him). His dogs walks were tailored to his temperment, energy levels and personal preferences (ie loves a good splash in water) and I was even given some tips on training based my own questions and areas that I wanted to work on. My dog LOVES the Pawfit team and I dont think that anything could speak to their talent and professionalism more than that.

Our dog Charlie has been availing of Pawfit's services in the Blackrock/South Dublin area for a couple of years now and we cannot recommend them highly enough! Emma and the gang are always reliable when it comes to Charlie's walks, training, minding and any other expertise we might need! They are extremely knowledgeable and experienced on all things dog related, very caring and completely trustworthy. As dog owners, we can't recommend Pawfit highly enough; but the real proof is the full-body wags from Charlie whenever he sees Emma at the door!

During the holidays, when it was very difficult to secure boarding for my cat, I had the good fortune to find Pup 'N' Pet Services in Blackrock. Samira-Lola Trimble was warm, kind, courteous as we made all the arrangements for 10 days of boarding. I was impressed by the professional approach to all documents to ensure a safe, agreeable arrangement. Throughout my time away, Pup 'N' Pet Services remained in contact to inform me of my cat's well-being, how she was thriving during the boarding experience. Truly, I appreciated those messages and videos. At the end of her stay, my cat was happy, healthy; she had clearly received very fine care. If you are seeking a warm, home environment for your pet while you are away, Pup 'N' Pet Services takes superb care of your beloved fur friend. I shall definitely call them again when I next need to travel.

Such a great service! We booked our puppy in with Pup n Pet for two days and an overnight in December. It was our puppy’s first night away from us and we weren’t sure how he would react. We needn’t have worried! From the moment he was collected, Samira and Cormac put him at ease. We got updates and pics over the course of his stay and he was as happy and calm arriving home as he had been heading off. Pup n Pet were so easy to deal and reliable with collection/drop off times. Thank you guys, we will defo be using your services again!

Used their Cat Sitting Service (in home). Appreciate their service during Christmas. They sent photos and videos everyday while I was away.

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.

We have a nearly two year old dog named Theo and he loves being at Eibhlin's. We leave him for long weeks more than 10 days and he is always happy to come back to us. He also loves the place and is always happy to see Eibhlin. We could have not asked for more he is well taken care of at hers. We are always delighted for his stay!!

Thank you

Thank You Bruce and Pepsi

Thank you Sophie and lovable Ralph
