Charlie and Tim were lovely and the house and chickens were great to sit for. We were made to feel very welcome and comfortable in their home. We met Pop and would have loved to have looked after her too but she was holidaying with the humans this time. We would highly recommend to anyone who is considering a sit for Charlie and Tim and we would happily sit here again.
It was such a pleasure to look after Sushi. Aashna and her husband were very welcoming, their apartment comfortable and central. They even cooked us a yummy dinner AND gave me the recipe. We had so much fun with Sushi, she is a character. I miss her already. Hope we can sit for them again.
Lady and Opie were so easy to take care of and Danny and Libby were so friendly! We had a lovely time going on walks and playing fetch. And it was a hilarious bonus to watch Lady spin in circles when she got excited. The house was spotless and we had a super comfortable stay. Thanks Danny and Libby!
I had a wonderful time with Snordy and Knuffel in Amsterdam. They are great and cuddly cats. Jenn and Jordy were very nice and I felt quite welcome in their home, they explained all I needed to know about the cats and their eating habits, the workings of the apartment and the local attractions. They were very kind and helpful, Jordy helped with my luggage up and down the (quite steep) stairs... They were very responsive to all my questions and had printed the site's guide so that I had all the information I needed. The location is absolutely great, very close to central Amsterdam with a convenient tram stop about 1 minute away. I will very gladly keep Snordy and Knuffel again and I definitely recommend this sit.
We loved our house sit with Max & Frankie in Christina & Felix's home! Communication with Christina and Felix was great and easy, they are so nice and were very welcoming! Their house is modern & clean, and a fantastic location from the train station/bus, easy walk to shops etc. and lovely walks around the place. Max and Frankie are the best cats with big personalities! Max was all cuddles from the start, enjoyed following us around the house and loved attention. Frankie took a bit to get used to us, but playing with his favourite toy and cuddles - he soon warmed up to us! We would highly recommend sitting here with Max & Frankie if you get the chance! Thanks Christina & Felix! You guys are the best!!
Claire's communication was pretty good..but she did change plans a few times for collecting the keys the week before. We managed to meet up for key hand over..however she cancelled the sit the day of at 7am (I was due to arrive at 10am). Luckily I am based nearby. It did feel that my time was wasted, especially as her last review indicates the same happened. I asked her to cancel the sit on the site, she didn't, which is unreasonable and disappointing as it means you cannot apply for others.

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!
Juliana is so amazing person and great keeper. My pup spent wonderful time with her and her awesome dog Rocky. I was updated during a day about him so I was completely calm when I was away :) thank you so much my darling and definitely we’ll get back to you ❤️
Juliana is a sweet person and as a pet sitter she is wonderful, loving and attentive. My baby boy has been cared for by her since he was a few months old, today he is 2.3 years old and continues to be very well cared for by Ju. My Zeus and I thank her for her affection and care. 🐶🤩. …

Our dog Mia stayed with Adrian for 2 weeks. She is home almost 2 wks. She came home a fit and happy dog. Adrian sent me photos and didn't mind keeping me up to date on Mia's stay with him. He collected and delivered Mia home. He's a very nice and interesting person and has a great understanding of dogs which is assuring. He's extremely punctual. We hope to have Mia stay with Adrian again soon.
Great service!!! Adrian looked after my golden doodle for 9 days and I was completely at ease the whole time. We were kept up to date with pictures and how my dog was getting on. I would highly recommend!! Thanks Adrian
Thank you so much for looking after my 2 little Maltese so well. They were beautifully groomed on their return to me and I was very happy with the care they received. I can highly recommend Little Delights pet boarding.
I highly recommend Little Delights for pet boarding. My dog Bella gets so excited everytime she sees Adrian! We really enjoy the at home boarding as our dog does much better in a home environment. He provides updates and photos which is so helpful for my peace of mind while away. From the moment we met Adrian at the complimentary meet and greet prior to her first stay I could tell she would be in good hands. You can tell he has an extensive knowledge of dogs and truly cares about their comfort and well being. The collection and drop off service is always prompt and very handy for organizing around travel. If you are looking for somewhere to board your dog in a home setting or someone to care for your animal Little Delights is a fantastic option!
I recently contacted Adrian for dog boarding. We had a meet and greet. Adrian is a lovely man and shows true passion for dogs/animals. Our dog Hugo stayed for 9 days with Adrian, I received photos and updates on Hugo while on holiday. This gave me peace of mind. I came home to a very happy boy. I highly recommend Adrian.. I am so happy that I have found someone I can trust to take care of my dog.
I left my dog and cat in Adrian’s care and he did a wonderful job looking after them both. The dog stayed with him while the cat remained at home. I was very happy with the updates and service and the animals were very well cared for. I would have no hesitation in recommending Adrian to mind your fur babies
Adrian has been looking after my 2 cats for the last few years. He gives such a fantastic service and it is great peace of mind knowing they are well looked after when I am away. He sends a text after his visit so I know they have been fed and everything is ok. I recommend Adrian and Little Delights if you are looking for a pet sitter!
Adrian provides an absolutely fantastic service, he is reliable and is so great with our dog, so great in fact she gets so excited when Adrian collects her! We have been using Adrian since we got our dog during covid, it’s very refreshing to know our dog is being looked after with such care when we are away. I could not recommend Adrian enough.
Adrian is excellent! He's been minding our pets for several years now and both our cat and dog are very comfortable with him. He's reliable and very trustworthy. We highly recommend Little Delights pet sitting and dog walking services.
I have been a client of Little Delights for 10 years and can highly recommend Adrian, the owner of the company. He is utterly reliable, trustworthy, he has a natural affinity with animals and has been a trusted minder of my little dog for 10 years. I would recommend Adrian without hesitation.
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.
Jennifer is very professional, skilled at dog training and its obvious that she genuinely loves the dogs! Thats exactly what i was looking for in a dog walker. I don't have to worry if she is coming in she will take care of my frenchie and she really goes above and beyond for our four-legged friends. She spares no energy playing with them - its not just a walk but its play time - chasing balls, socialising with other dogs etc. Jennifer took the time to learn whether i like to keep my dog on the leash or not, what food she is allergic to and what are her favourite toys. Cant recommend her enough.
Jen has let us down massively on a number of occasions leaving our much loved dog home alone for hours despite an agreed time for a walk or simply cancelling at a moments notice without any warning, apology or valid reason. I have never felt as disappointed and let down by someone who we entrusted to enter our home and look after our pet.
We would be lost without Jen! Our dog is also obsessed with her. She's been walking him for more than 2 years and is so reliable and caring. We know he is always safe with her.
Jennifer is brilliant with dogs and people. She explains well anything as we have to be trained more often than dogs. Lodi (our Old English Bulldog) loves her and she brought us calmness, understanding of dogs needs and behaviour, wrapped up in a kindness and great communication. We would recommend Jennifer for walks and training!
Jennifer has been a God sent for us. We have a 9.5 months old Labrador puppy (Milo) and keeping up with his excercise requirements along with our work schedule was proving to be a bit of a challenge. When we first met Jennifer, we just clicked with each other and Milo just fell in love with her...it is very evident how much love Jennifer has for dogs. She always goes above and beyond and provides a very reliable, professional service. Milo comes back tired, happy and content. He now recognises the term 'Jennifer Walk' which we use before he is picked up by Jennifer and anytime we use that term, he gets so excited and happy that he runs towards the door and waits for her. He even start whining when waiting for her :)... I am really glad that we decided to give Jennifer a call and I would highly recommend Lucan Dog Walkers to anyone looking for this type of service.
Lucan Dog Walker has helped out our family so much, working with our 3yr old rescue dog. She fixed our leash pulling problem and now Prancer is so great to walk with. Jennifer is so lovely to work it, cannot recommend her enough! Thanks again.
Our family absolutely loves Lucan Dog Walkers. Jennifer is so good to Percy and he loves her. I highly recommend her as she is professional, patient, trustworthy and loving to our beloved Percy.
My dog does not like many people but when he met Jen he instantly loved her. When I mention her name he goes straight to the window to see where she is. Jen has been nothing but professional and trustworthy. She has been a god sent to us and we wouldn't be without her.
I get a great feeling about Jenny and my little Cookie was very happy to go off on her walks and very happy and tired when she returns. Very reliable and friendly service. Will be using from now on.
Thank you so much Jenny. This is giving me one less thing to worry about during the week knowing that you are here to bring my dog for his well deserved walk and play about. Absolute wonderful service and highly recommend.
