We stayed for a whole month in Susan's and Robert's house with Cooper and had a great time. Cooper is a very nice and lovely dog, easy to handle even with no dog experience. He enjoyed his walk once a day and was happy staying in the backyard and lying in the sun. He is very gentle, so even our youngest daughter (4 years old) could feed him. Also cleaning his ears twice a week was easy, because he lays down by himself and lets you do, what has to be done. Our kids loved Cooper from the first moment and it was hard to leave after one month. Susan and Robert were very nice hosts. They showed us everthing we needed to know, we enjoyed a nice american dinner with them and their grown up children. The house is very confortable and clean. There were even people taking care of the lawn and a lady cleaning the house every other week. We were also very thankful, that we could use Susans car. The house and the neighbourhood is perfect for a family of five, as there are 2 kids bedrooms with 3 beds besides the guestroom. In the nighbourhood are several very nice playgrounds and parks, a library and a community center with a swimming pool, an indoor play room and a basketball court. Moreover, there is an outdoor swimming pool close by and you can walk to the city center with nice shops and restaurants. We had a wonderful time in Overland Park and enjoyed taking care of Cooper. We can recommend it to everybody, also families.
I really enjoyed my week looking after Catalie and Mario! She is a sweet gentle cuddly girl and Mario is adorable with his little goatee and huge personality that’s guaranteed to give you lots of giggles! The cosy little apartment is in a brilliant location, a couple of blocks to the beach and lots of restaurants and shops just a few minutes’ walk away. Thanks Meaghan for the opportunity of looking after your beautiful little family :)
Judy and her family were so welcoming and hospitable, I felt like I'd known them for years! Their house is utterly gorgeous and Balloo and 'Bagsy' are two happy doggos who are absolutely loving life - it was a joy to look after them. They're also very well trained and it was a breeze to walk them off lead around the countryside :)
Fabulous sit! Chris and Judy gave us great instructions for the care of Roxie and their great home in Penticton. Roxie is a great cat, very easy to care for, as long as you occasionally put on the laser light for her to chase and give her snuggles she is a happy cat! She will make you wait a few days before trust commences but after that it’s a breeze! Judy and Chris’s apartment is in a fabulous location! Walking distance to local grocery store and quiz night recommend by them
Maui and Daisy are the sweetest dogs and we loved spending time with them. Cody was a very accommodating host and gave us clear instructions about taking care of the dogs. The house was beautiful, clean, and in a great neighborhood. We had a great stay!
Looking after Chooka & Angie was a delight. Pooah & Shahar's apartment is in a great location to get out and explore Boston while returning to a comfortable home with two easy-going and loving cats. Chookah immediately warmed up to us and was quite comfortable on our laps; Angie took a little longer but within a couple of days she was snuggling with us. Great communication before & during sit to answer any questions. Would do the sit again if we are in the area - strongly recommend!

Mandy is the only person I would trust to mind my dog Mylo. She is the absolute best, we are blessed to have her to take care of our little fur baby!! Mylo has the best time everytime he goes to Mandy. We only have to say her name and his tail starts wagging with excitement. Couldn't recommend her more highly 💜 …
Loki cannot be happier every time he goes to Mandy! As he’s a corgi, our concern is that he is not with bigger dogs that could step and hurt him! But Mandy is always making sure all dogs are safe at all times… not to mention how much Loki loves Harry and Lauren, Mandy’s kids. He’s always so spoiled there! Wouldn’t trust anyone else!
Oh my god where to start I can’t express how happy and grateful I am to have found Mandy for my 3 fur babies. As you can imagine 3 is a lot to handle and I was finding it so difficult to find anyone who would take on all 3 🙈 But not a bother to Mandy! From the moment I meet Mandy, Lauren and Harry it has been the best experience. Mandy is so accommodating and so good and patient with all of the dogs. It can be nerve recking leaving your babies with someone but I never worry at all when they are with Mandy and I love all the daily update pics of them playing with their pals and the dogo birthday parties are just the sweetest thing 🥰 If you are looking for a daycare for your fur babies Mandy is 100% the best there is!
I have been bringing my dog to Mandy's Fairy Tails for two years now. Mandy is absolutely fantastic and my dog loves it there. When we pull up outside she gets so excited to see Mandy and her doggie pals. Dogs are so well looked after and happy. Mandy, Lauren and Harry love dogs and you can clearly see that. I would highly recommend Mandy's Fairy Tails.
Our rescue Chihuahua Elly loves spending time at Mandy’s. With the attentive care she’s received, Elly has become a confident, friendly well socialised little dog. She gets her play time and rest time as needed to make sure she’s in top form. Would highly recommend Mandy’s Fairy Tails Doggy Daycare!
We got our dog a year and a half ago and were always unsure how to manage her when we were away - leave her with friends and have them put out? Put her in big kennels? That question was answered as soon as we brought her to Mandy's Fairy Tails Doggie Day Care. Fifi loves it here, knows when we are coming and bounds out of the car to go to the front door when we arrive. It's very personal, not too big, all the dogs I have seen here always look happy and Fifi has enjoyed her days and her overnight stays. We can't recommend it highly enough.
Within a few minutes of meeting Mandy with her warm welcome into her home, I knew she was who I wanted to leave Ted with. It’s obvious she treats him like her own, and he’s the happiest ball of energy going into her house every week. He’s walked, fed, socialised with family and dogs and it’s such peace of mind that I know he is so content and safe. Laura.
Mandy is fantastic with our puppy Molly and Molly gets so excited going in to see her friends each day. We didn’t think anyone would take a puppy so young (after all her injections) but it wasn’t a problem for Mandy. I really think it has helped with Molly’s training and she’s a confident little doggie. We love getting the daily updates and I couldn’t recommend Mandy highly enough😁
Mandy is the absolute best. My dog runs to the door when I say we are going to Mandy's. He is so happy and so well cared for. You couldn't ask for a kinder person to look after your dog. I would highly recommend.
We cant recommend Mandy’s Fairy Tails highly enough. Our dog loves his holidays with Mandy. She is just the loveliest person & treats Sam like one of the family. We never have to think twice about leaving him with Mandy as we know he will be so well looked after. A wonderful person who provides an excellent service. Sinéad & Paul
This facility looks great but they are not taking any new customers, regulars only. They’re advertising a service that basically isn’t available. They didn’t respond to my email enquiry but I see they replied to my review! If they’re not accepting new customers why do reviews matter?
Jennifer was a wonderful host. Very accommodating with regular updates on Rocky's wellbeing. Thank you!
Wonderful pet service, my dog (Elkhound) has stayed on several occasions now and I couldn't be happier with Gem Dogs and Jen! Every time we take the turn down to Jen's, my dog gets so excited in the car, he knows he is in for a great time and this gives me so much reassurance. He doesn't even want to come home when I go to collect him, but when I eventually get him into the car, he sleeps all the way home and though the night. He's a high-energy dog, yet he comes home very well exercised. The house is absolutely beautiful with a lovely pen for the dogs to eat in and have down time and a gorgeous large back garden too for fun and games. My dog absolutely loved Jen and why wouldn't he, she is a total animal lover, so friendly and welcoming. I'm thrilled to have found this place and wouldn't hesitate to recommend. Will definitely be back again.
Nobody better to leave you dog with! We leave our fella here whenever we go away and he never wants to come home!
Amazingly caring and takes such good care. Couldn’t recommend anyone higher
Great set up and owners care about the dogs which is the main thing!
Very friendly and good value for money
Friendly highly recommended !!!@@@@
Highly recommended
Brill thanks
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. 🐶🤩. …
Juliana took care of our dog with great affection and devotion. The service provided by her was excellent. She responds quickly and she is always willing to help. I fully recommend Juliana ’s service for pet setting. Thank you Juliana.
Juliana is an exceptional dog-sitter, always responsive and attentive in her care for Pluto. I am very comfortable leaving Pluto with Juliana seeing how happy he is with her.
Juliana is very caring and committed. We leave our dog in her care without any worry. Nara loves her ♥️
Definitely the best Petsitter ever! Julian has great communication and I always is helping with important duties such visit at vets and medicines. I highly recommend the services .😁 …
I can’t recommend you enough! Juliana absolutely loves dogs and knows everything about them, and that love comes out in the form of an amazing service, full of care for our 4 pawed friends!
Responsibility, commitment and a lot of affection for animals!!! I highly recommend!!
Ju is always very careful, loving and concerned about the animals... Doguinhos love Ju... And they her... Thank you for all the affection with them... Wonderful!!! Ju is always very careful, loving and worried about the pets... Dogguinhos love Ju... And they are... Thank you for all the affection with them... Wonderful!!!
It's incredible how little animals fall in love with Ju, it seems like magic! They must know how much they are loved by her and feel all this affection and respect I recommend Ju with my eyes closed!
Really lovely staff!!! It’s difficult for me to review because I drop off the dog and pick him up!!! But please check out the photo!!…He seems very happy to me!!!!
My dog Billy attends Doggie Daycare here twice a week. People have commented on how good Billy is with other dogs this is due to the socialisation he has been exposed to at Hilton doggie daycare since he was a puppy. It is a great piece of mind dropping him off knowing he is safe and content. All the staff Ken, Barry and Jen are so warm and welcoming. I couldn’t recommend it highly enough. A five stars from Billy and me.
Brought my lovely red Cavapoo home on Saturday, lovely, lovely Ollie. Such a happy social puppy due to the exception care and attention he was given by Lisa and Gerard. As registered breeders they have a wonderful operation in place where all their dogs are so well cared for and your puppy is the special one, testimony to this is how well socialized my beautiful puppy is. In addition I have been given a list of aftercare instructions on how to maintain a healthy outgoing puppy and encouraged to contact them if any additional information or advice required. Would I recommend buying a puppy from Lisa, 5 Star ✨✨✨✨✨ rating from me and Ollie. xx
The absolute best Doggy day care. Super accommodating and brilliant opening hours. The team are so friendly and the 4 legged child adores everyone!
Tried to book our puppy in with this place after a recommendation from another dog owner in our puppy training classes, we live local and always pass it, it looks like a really great place. Submitted an online booking request but never heard anything back. Phoned them on the number on their website, was greeted with just a "hello?" no confirmation if it was actually the business I had got through to. Explained that I was hoping to book our pup in for a day, was bluntly told that they "don't do that" and I would need a trial first. I mentioned that I had tried to book a trial online and that they never got back to me, the lady on the phone then asked what breed our pup was. When I said that she's a Labrador beagle cross, the words were barely out of my mouth and the lady on the phone said "we don't take large dogs." I said she's not a large dog, she'd be classed as a medium breed and she's only a puppy, but the lady on the phone didn't seem interested really, I was condescendingly told again about how I'd need a trial and that "it just doesn't work that way" and "there's a process." Hopefully their dog minding skills are much better than their customer service skills.
Our little pup has been going here for daycare twice a week for about a year now. He loves it and Jen & the team take such good care of him, and are easy to deal with. He's a high energy little guy, but always comes home exhausted. Highly recommend!
To all in Hilton kennels Excellent service offered here to a very high standard from booking to collection. My dog Susie like most pet owners only want the best for their family members well you will get that here and more making you feel no guilt going to work or away. My little pet was collected today and seriously she looked really happy from her stay. They deserve 5"stars for there work and love they show to our pets. I would highly recommend them 🐕😘
My life would be impossible without Hilton 5 Star! Millie is a Cavachon who began with Hilton 5 Star in December 2020 and Marvin is a Schnoodle that started with them in January 2022. Our two beautiful dogs love it there and go bounding in early in the morning. They socialise, play and exercise and love their days with them - they spend 3 days a week there. The staff are kind and love my two dogs. When I leave them in, I don't have to give them another moment's thought until I pick them up later that evening. My dogs love other dogs and as a result of being in daycare can be let off lead to walk when I am confident that they will happily approach other dogs. Jen sometimes posts videos of the dogs on Facebook during the day and I smile when I see their antics. I can't recommend Hilton 5 Star enough.
They cancelled on us last minute. Rocky really enjoyed his first stay at Hilton5Star in summer 2018! We booked him in again January 2019 for a work trip. I received a call the morning of our departure to say we had been double-booked and there was no room at the inn. No explanation was offered for how this occurred, and no effort was made to help us find alternative accommodation. With a service like this reliability is the most important thing, so unfortunately I will have to find another dog-minding service.
Benji loves this place, the staff loves him and it shows every single time we drop him off there :) Located near Dublin Airport, making it extremely conveniente for owners to drop off/pick up a dog when traveling abroad. They also offer pick up and drop off service for a fee. The dogs are walked and exercised and have the opportunity to socialize with other dogs of compatible demeanours.
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
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.
Daiane and Thiago looked after our French Bulldog, Ralph, while we were away. We could see and feel that they love to look after pets. They were excellent at playing with him in the ball pit, and he came back home smelling great because they also offer grooming services. They sent me regular photos of him, and I couldn’t ask for more. I highly recommend them, and Ralph already misses them!
Daiane is the BEST pet sitter in Dublin. We dropped our dog a few times in other places and we never felt confident that he would be treated with love. When dropping Tom with Daiane, I am fully confident she will treat our dog like hers. She also keep the dogs inside her house which is a big plus because it keeps the same routine our dog have in our house. I recommend this place 100%! I added a few pictures of him there from his last stay in March 2024 having his best time 🐶
I couldn't recommend it more. Daiane was amazing with my dogs. She sent me daily updates on how my dogs were, if they were playing with the other dogs and how they were behaving.
Daiane and Thiago recently looked after our dog Cheddar while we were on holidays and some daycare days. They took amazing care of him, and it is clear how much they love their work and the dogs. Daiane is very professional - whether it's communicating about booking dates or sharing pictures during a pups stay. They have recently added some grooming services and are taking a lot of pride in this work - really great job done. Highly recommend Petville for daycare, short stays, longer or grooming needs!
I highly recommend Daiana and Tiago for anyone looking for exceptional care for their pets. They take amazing care of our English Bulldog, Ozzy, providing him with nice activities throughout the day and giving him the chance to socialize with other dogs. They keep me updated regularly with photos and messages, giving me complete peace of mind. I’m so grateful to have found them, and I truly feel that Ozzy is in a safe and loving environment.
Daiane is a standout dog caregiver, especially for my Chihuahua. She's more than just a sitter; she's a real-life dog whisperer. Each time I had to travel, leaving my fur baby with her was reassuring. Daiane kept me updated with adorable photos and fun tidbits, making my travels worry-free. What's truly special is how my usually timid Chihuahua blossomed in her care, playing happily with other dogs. It's heartwarming yet amusing that my pup would sulk on returning home, clearly missing Daiane's fun-filled haven. In short, Daiane's not just any caregiver; she's a godsend for pet parents, transforming doggy daycare into a joyous and loving experience. I wholeheartedly recommend her for anyone seeking peace of mind and exceptional care for their furry friend.
We entrusted Daiane with our beloved dog for two weeks while we were on holiday, and it was one of the best decisions we've ever made. Not only did she provide the utmost care and attention our dog needed, but she also went above and beyond in keeping us updated on his emotional state and behaviour. Knowing he struggles with being away from us, Daiane's consistent updates were a source of comfort and reassurance that he was in great hands.Daiane displayed remarkable understanding and patience with his attachment issues, treating him with kindness and professionalism. Her advice on managing his behaviour and attachment issues has been invaluable, showing her expertise and genuine concern for his well-being.It's clear that Daiane doesn't just look after pets; she cares for them as if they were her own. Her dedication to ensuring our dog felt loved and secure in our absence was evident in every update and piece of advice she gave us.We are incredibly grateful for Daiane's exceptional service and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate, skilled, and reliable pet sitter. She truly is a gem in the pet care community.
Daiane and Thiago were recommended to us by a friend who was getting married. He knew my dog was very anxious and had a bit of seperation anxiety due to her previous owners. Daiane listened to all my concerns and recommended doing a trial night to see how she got on and how we got on together. Lets just say it was a flying success. Daiane cared for our pup and consistently (kindly) sent us updates and photos of her status for our reassurance all was well. Since then we have used their services for a few holidays now. Daiane does nothing short of giving our dog a 5 star treatment to ensure she is happy, feels love and is safe. She is always sending our dog off with some treats usually if not always homemade as well as a little toy. We are forever grateful knowing our dog is safe when we are away and loves getting the cuddles.
Our rescue dog Bella loves her holidays with Daiane and her family. We can relax knowing that she is comfortable and well looked after. Bella can be a nervous girl, but Daiane is so loving and patient it is the perfect environment for her.
Daiane is incredible because she brings together genuine love and kindness for the doggies with her exceptional professionalism and innovative approach. Our dog Bambi has mild separation anxiety and Daiane made sure she had a smooth stay - we loved reading her detailed report card after her trial night and her stay. She also prepares the most nutritious treats for the dogs and even organizes pool parties in the garden when the weather permits (or sniff mat indoor party if it rains) She balances providing regular, reassuring updates to the pawrents while focusing on her guests. We're positively surprised how much Bambi enjoyed her stay and made friends while having fun - all thanks to Daiane's approach and experience.
Our dog Scarlett loves it here. It's such a relief to know she's so well taken care of. The girls really love dogs and they make sure she gets plenty of exercise, stimulation and attention. 10/10
The owners are have taken great care of our cat Monica several times. We always come back to a very relaxed and happy cat. They share photos & videos daily, and provide timely updates of her. We will definitely hire them again and 100% recommend!
The care service is highly recommended! I left my dog Roma during my holidays and I can tell she was very well taken care of. I will definitely leave her again with them.
Will hire their service again, that's for sure! Our little dog came back home super happy and the service was fantastic!
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.
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!
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.
