We couldn’t have imagined a better house sit! Celine is so friendly and helpful. She left detailed instructions and information how to take care of Amadeus. Celine’s home is lovely and cozy and in a great location close to old port and center and many interesting places. Thank you so much Celine for bringing Me and Jakub into your house and trusting us with your precious boy. We hated having to say goodbye to Amadeus and closing the door as we left. It is one of the best cat which We met <3
A lovely weekend sit! Magic and Icaro are two adorable kitties who were no trouble to look after. They enjoy some time outdoors but also love to be inside with human company, though lots of begging for food might be involved! Torie and Farhan were great and explained all the details about the pets and the house. They were readily available for any issues and their home was a lovely place to spend a few days. Thanks for everything :)
This was an absolutely fabulous sit!! I immediately fell in love with Maisie and Darth Mikey. They are 2 of the sweetest babies ever. My favorite time of day was morning cuddles! Maisie would sleep with me all and Mikey would jump up early in the morning purring and nuzzling. So much love! Communication with Kathy was great and I loved that she shared pics of her vacay with me when I checked in each day! She is a wonderful person that I really enjoyed getting to know! The home is amazing and be prepared to get a workout bc there are a lot of stairs! lol Great for working off all the amazing food I ate. The view from the rooftop terrace is nothing short of spectacular! It is a wonderful walking neighborhood too. So much to do, see, and eat! I would love to come back!!
Happy is the loveliest dog who loves his walks and lots of snuggles! He took a while to warm up to us but once he did, he was our little shadow ❤️. Katya is great with communication and their home is lovely. There are lots of great walks around and the village they live in is quite lovely. We would happily sit again and recomm
Sitting with Milo was such a pleasure! He really is amazing: he is great fun to spend time with and he is very well behaved. He is independent coming and going out his doggy door to the backyard, but he is also so friendly. He enjoys being petted while you read a book on the covered deck; he loves getting belly rubs, and back rubs, and ear rubs! His family, Mat and Callie, were very welcoming. They all live in a quiet and safe neighborhood tucked away in the beautiful hill country. Their three bedroom house is not just comfortable, it exudes peace and tranquility. Mat gave me a thorough tour of the house and yard, and clear instructions for the sit. He was easy to communicate with, and appreciated updates on how Milo was doing. They are 10/10 and I would definitely recommend to other house sitters.
Sophie & Sammy are both very cute and lovely dogs, and affectionals. When Sammy feels comfortable, he likes to stay close. Sophie is funny and loves to play with toys. They are guite easy to take care of. Communication with EmilyAnne was smooth, and I was happy to chat with her in person as well. She's welcoming and helpful, also she made an extra effort to arrange a bicycle for me to use. I slept well in her cozy house, which is located in a safe neighborhood.

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.
Arlo loves this place ! Goes most days and runs in and comes home exhausted from a great day she does have here with the staff and other dogs. I’d highly recommend people to use here. It’s a home away from home for your pets with a Piece of mind.
Left my dogs here for one week while on holiday they were very happy and looked well looked after when I collected them Karina seems like a lovely person from my experience and my dogs were happy and healthy when I arrived to collect them they were a bit smelly but that's sort of to be expected 🤣🤣🤣. Also got a few video updates and they looked extremely happy in them. Also one was extremely afraid of everything as we got her at 5months and I don't know what trama she experienced but was far more confident and relaxed coming home which was brilliant thank you so much guys 💖.
I left my dog here a few weeks ago and I’ve only got around to leaving a review Now. I left my dog in fidos and went away for two weeks and when i came back to collect my dog, it was skin and bone and the dog was fearful and I left lots of food for the dog and no food was returned and the dog was certainly not getting it. I would advise anyone thinking of leaving their dog here to think again and try to leave your dog with a relative or neighbour that likes dogs. Please don’t leave your dog here.!!!
Left our cat here for 1 week, His second time here (Now a new place ‘ Fidos4eva Kennels’) Very well looked after and Kerina & her husband Emmet are an absolute asset to this place. Really caring and kind animal people. Rang me to check in about our cat, ( who is fussy) very easy to reach by WhatsApp - I’m sorry about peoples past experiences with the previous place but I wish the absolute best for Kerina & Emmet with Fidos as our cat was really well looked after by them 🫶🏻🫶🏻
This is P&E Kennels rebranded (see #justicefornova) I boarded my dog there when it was P&E and filled in my phone details for contact in case of a problem for my dog. I recently was added to a fundraising whatsapp group by the owner, in which my phone details could be viewed by hundreds of strangers. I did not consent to my details being used. In terms of boarding kennels, my dog came home to us uninjured but frightened and reactive towards strange dogs. I would never send her there again.
*Edit* They've since rebranded AGAIN to "Fidos4eva Kennels" DO NOT leave your dogs here. DO NOT. I don't usually write reviews, but it's best to never leave your dogs here. Also, finding out that this is " P&E " rebranded, from the reviews solidifies everything. Don't bring your pets here.
Went and viewed hotel for pets and the kennels was spotless had my 2 dogs stay for 3 days and the dogs were well cared for paddy collected and dropped them back which was great service. Thanks kerina and paddy highly recommend to friends/ family!
This seems to be an attempt at rebranding by P&E Boarding Kennels following their previous scandal. I would suggest anyone leaving a dog here does a quick google search and match the address and business owners because it seems to be no more than an attempt to change the name after the dust settled and the adverse publicity died down.
Brilliant excellent service i have been using hotel for pets for the last 4 years would highly recommend
Paddy provides a great service for my two dogs. They are both always delighted to go in and they really enjoy the social aspects with other dogs. highly recommended.
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!
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
