Spend a week in October in enchanting Kenmare, Ireland

Introduction

Mark and Deb are retirees who have chosen to relocate to the charming town of Kenmare in County Kerry, Ireland. Mark was a CEO and Deb a school administrator. We are mostly settled in our new community, and we love it! Kenmare is situated at the point where the Ring of Kerry meets the Beara Peninsula. Both areas are full of breathtaking scenery, ancient sites and delightful people. In spite of a year-round population of just over 2,000, there are 40 pubs/restaurants in Kenmare. We brought our two cats, ages 17 and 9, to Ireland with us. They are very people oriented and need to have a loving companion(s) when we travel. They will likely be shy at first, but once you feed them, they'll be yours.

Home & location

Kenmare is a charming town in southwest Ireland with access to a wide range of environments, from steep mountains to the Atlantic Ocean. It is located at the point where the Ring of Kerry meets the Beara Peninsula and is a very popular tourist destination. We have three 3-ring notebooks full of activities within a day's drive of our home, which is in a small wooded neighborhood located less than a mile from the town center.

I had the best time in Deb & Marks home looking after their beautiful cats, Fuma & Falla. They are two beautiful cats, very chill. I had a lovely chat with Deb & Mark before the sit, so I knew exactly what to expect before I went. Everything was so detailed and the house was incredible in the most gorgeous location! I hope to come back and sit for them again, it was a real pleasure 😃

We had a lovely week house sitting for Deb & Mark. You have a lovely home and Fuma and Falla were 2 very friendly cats. They were no trouble at all, and it was a pleasure to care for them. We loved watching the Seka Deer grazing in the gardens, and next door's chickens wandering across the road, and through all the gardens. Thank You for a very pleasant week in a wonderful location. We would love to be invited to pet sit again. Best Wishes Ladia & Simon. xxx

Lari and her daughter Lacey did a terrific job with our home and our cats. The house looked just as we left it - but cleaner! Our greatest appreciation, however, was that our cats also acted as if we had never been gone. Lari and Lacey obviously made them feel comfortable and cared for.
