E-j and Paul were very well organised and most hospitable. Cats were easy to care for and came and went as they pleased. Sadly Yeti and I didn’t have an opportunity to get to know one another during my short sit - he kept a low profile, but Tali was very sociable and Toby serenaded me in the mornings. A comfortable stay with a marvellous view.
The dogs are super sweet and I enjoyed my time with them.
Angel and Lee were so lovely and welcoming. Their gorgeous apartment was spotless and they made sure to make Chris and I feel at home. Their kitties were adorable and I loved spending every minute with them. Everything was well organised and even when I had to do a little trip to the vet they were understanding and supportive. Their home is just on the edge of the Peak District and surrounded by so much greenery - really beautiful! I couldn't recommend their place and them as home owners enough. The loving cats are an extra amazing bonus :) Thank you! xx
We had so much fun watching Izzie and Fliss for 1 week! They are a sweet mother-daughter duo with different personalities but both so gentle, adaptable, and fun. They're quiet dogs who only barked with excitement when it was time to go on a walk. As other sitters have commented, Fliss lives (and loves) to play and can run after her ball for hours, which was perfect because just 6 minutes walking from the house is a big park with a large, off-leash green space and playground. We were impressed with how gentle Fliss was with her ball. She loves her ball but was not aggressive at all when we (kids included) got close to her ball or picked it up from in front of her. Both Izzie and Fliss are serious snugglers and loved being wherever we were. Sophia and her family are kind, friendly, relaxed, and easy-going, and she was super helpful in getting us to her house and giving us tips for our stay. Her house is a family house, and we were so appreciative of her for son sharing his toys with our kids :) We are looking forward to watching Izzie and Fliss again for a month this summer!
Lovely home lovely, and the pets were adorable! Couldn’t have asked for anything more, location is amazing too! Close to beautiful beaches!
Kara's home was cute and comfortable. She provided a thorough Welcome Guide and was quick to respond to any questions I had via text. Gonzo is very independent, playful and loving. It took a few days for him to really warm up to me, but once he did he was super sweet.

Shauna has been minding our Miniature Daschund, Luna for the last couple of years. Luna is prone to separation anxiety which is always a worry when we have to leave her, however since Shauna has been taking her she is a different dog!! You know Luna enjoys her time there when she doesn’t want to come home. Shauna has always been very flexible and accommodating for us and we honestly couldn’t think of a better person to mind Luna when we’re away. I can’t recommend Shauna enough.
Shauna, has been walking dogs for the last couple years. She is very reliable and trustworthy. She is so good with our dogs, she treat them as if they were her own dogs. I couldn’t recommend Shauna enough. Amazing!!!!
I could not recommend Shauna enough to look after your fur babies! Her love and care is outstanding! She treats every dog as if it were her own. She forms bonds with the pets she looks after and walks, which is exactly what any pawrent looks for when they trust someone with their baby! She has an extensive range of knowledge in so many areas when it comes to dogs. If you are doubting booking Shauna, don’t. She is one of best, and one of the VERY VERY few people I’d ever trust with my little girl 🐾🤍🖤
Shauna helped us with our 2-year-old terrier, and we are thrilled with the results. She was able to help us with things that were new to both me and my partner. Shauna is passionate about what she does, and I highly recommend her to anyone in need of dog training.
Highly recommend Fetch n Frolic. Had my cats minded for 3 nights. Shauna stayed in the house and was brilliant with them, she sent updated photos and videos regularly. I will definitely be booking in again for next time I'm away from home. The cats took to her right away. Very professional and friendly
Shauna helped us deal with our high energy beagle. She was very professional and knowledgeable, understood that we didn’t need generic tips but a more personalised approach.
I don't know who's more excited to see who during visits, our pup Ralphy to see Shauna or Shauna to see Ralphy. She's great with our high energy pup and he loves his walks with her!!!!
Shauna is so obliging, and my dog absolutely loves her!
Super knowledgeable & passionate, a gem to the dog world.
Jonathan is absolutely amazing with Daisy , she goes in and doesn't even look back , frequent updates videos and pics , thank you
I have used Jonathan's dog minding services several times. We were very nervous to leave our puppy (who was 6 months old the first time) with a dog minder but Jonathan was great. We did a meet and greet a few weeks beforehand and it was obvious Jonathan genuinely loves dogs and our puppy was going to be in safe and experienced hands. Jonathan is really responsive and always kept us updated with photos and videos. I have referred Jonathan to my friends and family several times. He's brilliant.
Can't recommend Jonathan and Puppers Paradise enough. Going to doggie daycare with him has really helped our rescue gain confidence and get comfortable around other dogs. Jonathan is patient, reliable and flexible and an excellent communicator even sending through lovely videos of our dog playing with his new friends. The best thing is you can tell that he really cares about the dogs he minds
From the very 1st time that Pablo (mini dachshund puppy) went to Jonathan’s home for Daycare, he was completely at ease. It was very clear from conversation with Jonathan that he has an abundance of knowledge & a genuine passion for dogs. He has sent me videos at intervals throughout the day of Pablo at play with the other dogs & it was very obvious that Pablo was having a really great time! Pablo has been in Jonathan’s care quite a number of times to date & he is always very relaxed & happy when I collect him.
Bruno had his first night away from us at Puppers Paradise with Jonathan. A home from home environment. We received photos and video updates of the fun Bruno was having with all the dogs which was very reassuring to us. We were truly able to relax knowing he was in Jonathan's care.
My dog has been going here for years. She loves Jonathan and he brings out the best in her. It"s a home from home for her. I much prefer Pupper's Paradise to other kennels that I have used over the years because my dog is so well treated here. I have no hesitation in recommending this business.
Jonathan is one of the very few people that I would trust my dogs with. He has minded them for me on numerous occasions and they always have a great time.
Thanks Aoife!
Nicky is simply the best dog walker we’ve ever had! He is reliable, professional, and truly cares about the dogs he looks after. Our dog absolutely loves him and gets excited every time Nicky comes by for a walk. His attention to detail and passion for what he does are clear in the way he handles our pet. We’ve noticed such a positive difference in our dog’s behavior since starting walks with Nicky. Couldn’t recommend him more!
Cannot recommend Nicky enough, excellent dog walking service, our dog Spencer runs out the door for his walks and comes back a very content doggo! Nicky is incredibly reliable and very good to our pup!
I have been using Nicky for a number of years now. The absolute best service you could ever use. Nicky is reliable and never lets us down. Great for advice and helpful information.
Im using them for years now and its the best service you could ever use! Dogs go mad with excitement when they see them coming! Highly recommend the team!! Id be lost without them. So efficient and always go out of their way to help at short notice if they can.
Nicky and his team have been walking our dog 5 days a week, for over 6 years. They are unbelievably reliable and have never let us down once in all this time. Our dog came from a rescue with some anxiety issues and Nickys kindness and professionalism was a massive support in getting him to the happy dog he is today. The 5 star review is very well deserved!
I couldn’t recommend Nicky enough. My dog Rua was a young rescue and completely wild. Nicky took him on for walks and his behaviour has improved immensely. He comes home well exercised, socialised with other dogs and relaxed for the rest of the day. Dealing with Nicky has been a hassle free experience, he is dependable and a pleasure to deal with.
I can't not recommend Nicky highly enough,he is a brilliant,reliable, trusworth, dedicated, amazing dog walker that has accomodated me over the past two years and most recently through recovery from spinal surgery. He is a kind and compassionate human being that embodies everything someone working with animals should be. Thank you Nicky from myself, Harley and Jessy!
I've used Nicky for several years. Very reliable and he's a really good guy to deal with
Bruce loves going on walks with Nick and Susan. Can highly recommend, amazing people and service.
Nicky is a fantastic guy who takes brilliant care of my pooch Dash. I used to take my dog to work everyday and then I was no longer able to and found Nicky (Pet Angel Sitters). Dash always has a great walk with Nicky and we get little updates from every walk which is so wonderful. I honestly cannot thank Nicky enough for his service and we will be using him for years and years to come! Thank you Nicky! 🤩😁
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.
they are very reliable, my dog Rosie gets walked by them twice a week 🥰 …
