A patient person who loves pets and travelling.
Janice was a wonderful friend and companion to Samba. We immediately appreciated her positivity and caring attitude . She is a most efficient communicator and while we were away she kept us updated with frequent reports and photos. Samba was living her best life while Janice was here and would love to have her back some day.

Valerie and David
Five stars don't seem enough to describe the superb experience with David and Valerie. They were truly excellent in every way. House was spotless, Bart was a very happy dog and we couldn't be happier.

Mature, Christian couple ..... farmer and retired special needs teacher
We were extremely pleased with Rosi! She took excellent care of our dogs, making sure they were well-fed, walked, and given plenty of love and attention. Our pets were happy and relaxed when we returned, which is a testament to the sitters' great care. Additionally, Rosi kept our house immaculate, which was a wonderful surprise. It was such a relief to come home to a clean house and happy pets. We highly recommend her pet sitting to anyone in need of responsible and caring pet sitters.

An animal and nature loving couple wanting to explore new places
Jenny and Nick were fantastic house and pet sitters. They happily arrived early on a Sunday morning so that we could show what was required to be done for feeding our animals. This also allowed us to leave stress free and not be in a rush. Jenny and Nick kept in touch while we were away to keep us updated on our animals. When our ferry was cancelled they offered to stay an extra night if need be. We are thrilled with Jenny and Nick they have done a very good job of looking after our animals, and left our house spotless. We’d be delighted to have Jenny and Nick as house and pet sitters again. Thank you very much.

Henri was great with Ivy! He was very flexible and cooperative and kept in regular contact during the sit. Would definitely recommend him!

Responsible & reliable sitter, based in Belfast but open to travel
Anastasiia has been THE BEST catsitter ever! She took great care of Simona and sent news everyday. Simona really loved her, she was purring in the videos (and it is not very common). The apartment was super clean when I arrived and it was a pleasure because she left some great pastries for welcoming me ❤️. For sure I would 200% recommend her if you have the opportunity to choose her for your next sitting.

Giving 100%- Making sure you are happy and your pets have a great time
Denise has sat for us a few times now and we would be delighted if she wanted to come again. She is very organised, keeps in touch, the dogs love her, and she leaves the house immaculate. Denise definitely deserves her five stars, and we could not recommend her more highly.

Enabling you to have peace of mind.
Absolutely fantastic! Thelma cared for our dog and cat for a week, and we couldn't be happier. She was attentive, loving, and professional, ensuring our pets were well-fed, exercised, and happy. We received regular updates and photos, which put our minds at ease. Highly recommend Thelma for anyone needing a reliable and caring pet sitter. Five stars!

Animal loving couple excited to take care of your pets and home!
Michaela and Caolan went above and beyond for us. One of our dogs had unexpected surgery mere days before our trip. M & C unhesitatingly agreed to go ahead with the sit, handling meds and extra care. They were responsible and loving with our 2 dogs and 1 cat; we never doubted that our pets were in good hands, and our house was spotless when we returned. We're grateful to Michaela and Caolan, and we enthusiastically recommend them.

Two Responsible and Dependable Friends
There are not enough stars here for Kera and Holly. I cannot express how happy we were with them both. We had been communicating for a while before this sit and so were delighted when they were able to do it for us. We got daily updates with the most beautiful photos of all our pets which was so reassuring. Our dogs got so many lovely adventures I'm sure they didnt want us to come home 😂 Our home was so well looked after. We would recommend Kera and Holly 100% without hesitation & hope we can secure them again in the future.
This was our first time using zeewoi and we were a little apprehensive, especially as we were going away for almost 5 weeks, but we really didn’t need to be. Mary and Kevin were fantastic from the start. They had excellent communication and put us at ease straight away. They looked after both our cats with lots of care and we came home to two very happy and content kitties. Mary and Kevin struck the balance just right whilst we were away by keeping us informed of how the cats were and sending pictures of what the cats were up to every couple of days. It was so lovely to know that the cats were enjoying themselves and being so well looked after whilst we were away. Mary and Kevin also looked after our house extremely well and we came back to a very clean and tidy home. We would definitely recommend Mary and Kevin to anyone needing a house sitter and would love for them to sit for us again if they were ever back in the area.
Hannah and Joseph housesat our three kitties for a week and a half while we were traveling for the holidays. They were very communicative and conscientious. We received daily updated on our cats with cute and funny pictures. When they noticed our 17yo cat, Amber, wasn’t eating very much, they let us know and we were able to resolve the problem quickly. They were also very resourceful and understanding when we ran out of some cat supplies. Hannah and Joseph took great care of the house. Everything was very clean and tidy when we arrived back, and we had a short time to get to know them on our arrival. We would be fortunate to find more house sitters like them, and would of course love to have them back in the future! We wish Hannah and Joseph luck in their travels!
Kathryn was amazing. She helped me figure plans out after another sitter dropped out at the last minute and saved the day! My cat and fish were well taken care of, and she was super communicative when my tank had a problem child moment. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, helpful, and caring sitter!!
Marianna was an incredible house sitter and cat sitter. She gave our property and sweet kitty top notch care. She is kind, easy to communicate with, thorough, etc. Would highly recommend her, you will not be disappointed.
Nathalie and John were great! They were great house sitters to watch our two dogs, 2 geckos, our old cat and bull frog. Their two girls took good care of the animals as well. The house was exactly how we left it. We really appreciated their help!
If you are looking for someone to take care of your fur babies and your house while you're away, Daniel is your guy! I had discovered zeewoi just a couple of weeks before I was to leave on vacation and I was not only apprehensive if the website was too good to be true, but also under a real time crunch. I reached out to over 100 local sitters and several possibilities fell through. I was confident I would find the right sitter and when Daniel applied for the sit and I started to text and converse with him, I knew I had found the perfect sitter for my two cats! Daniel was upbeat and positive, articulate and personable, warm and caring, and he asked all the right questions about Lilly and Eli (I hadn't had the time to complete my Welcome Guide, yet!?!). I shared that I had an easy cat and problem cat -- Lilly, who is sweet, social and eats dry food, and Eli who is skittish, was periodically pooping outside the kitty litter box and was eating prescription canned food twice a day mixed with a probiotic and stool firmer. I asked if he thought he was up for the job and he happily said he was. Since he flew all the was from Chicago, I thought the least my husband and I could do was pick him up at the airport. When he arrived, he pulled out his notebook. He patiently walked with me as I reviewed kitty care, showed him around the house, and where he would be sleeping. He immediately picked up Lilly who was excited about meeting her new friend and Eli bugged out and down the stairs to the basement (his favorite hiding place!). We got Daniel connected to the internet, set him up at our dining room table and headed off to airport, leaving our house and kitties in the best of hands. Daniel wanted to make sure I felt comfortable and assured while we were away. He made sure to text with me every other day (he had asked my preference earlier), sent photos of Lilly being her cute self while Eli hid during the day although he gave me assurances that he was eating his food and using the litter box (there were a few accidents, but Daniel never complained about these additional duties). When we returned from our vacation, the house was also spotless and well cared for and Daniel had even washed the sheets for me! It is with utter happiness and complete confidence that I recommend Daniel as a fantastic Sitter. He is trustworthy, responsible, caring, and competent, and you can rest assured that both your house and sweet pets will be watched over and treated with TLC -- and will truly be in the best of hands while you are away!
Jenima is an excellent sitter! She is organized, communicative and flexible throughout the stay. We needed a sitter at the last minute because Jazz got sick, and Jenima saved us. We left a little worried about him, but Jenima took care of him really well and kept us informed. Cats love her! We definitely recommend her to take care of your pets!
Tracy was an ideal pet sitter when we left for 12 days. She was communicative, friendly, and most importantly took perfect care of our two cats and our house. I would highly recommend her for any sit!
Jose was a wonderful pet/house sitter for us recently. We highly recommend him. He was wonderfully reliable and responsible and took such good care of our two pets. On short notice Jose drove down from Grass Valley to the East Bay for a bit of a quiet get-away while working a really hard job teaching online. We know how hard that is firsthand and partly why we needed our own get-away for a last-minute backpacking trip. We have a recently rescued pit bull and a rescued cat that we're still introducing to each other to make sure the dog doesn't eat the cat (as he seems to want to), and the cat doesn't blind the dog (as she would if he tried to eat her). That might be more background than is needed in a review but Jose made us feel comfortable about everything because of how conscientious and responsible he clearly is. We could tell when we talked to him that he was genuinely kind and eminently trustworthy. We are very grateful and hope Jose was happy with everything too because we know what a value his care was to us. Jose truly deserves any and all house-sitting gigs that strike his interest. Ours was not the easiest and he was amazing. Get him if you can.
Kristi was an exceptional house / pet sitter and we appreciate her being so flexible as were not sure how long our vacation was going to be. She was prompt, courteous, and even drove up the weekend before to meet with us. She took great care of our house and our dog snd cats loved her. I would highly recommended her.
Is it better to board cats or leave at home?
Veterinarians advising to leave cats at home with a pet sitter who will stay overnight in your home, boarding is not recommended for cats as they are stressed in a new environment, you can find a sitter who will care for your cats and home for free at Zeewoi.
How much should you pay someone to watch your cat?
At least $20 per visit, per overnight watching in your home, otherwise you can find a free sitter at Zeewoi.
What do people do with their cats when they go on vacation?
Inviting a cat sitter to your home, boarding the cat with a local business, asking a friend, family or neighbour to feed and check the well-being. The most efficient way to leave your cat during your vacation is with Zeewoi cat sitters for free, in this way, you will save cat sitting costs and make vacation not only for you but also for your cat sitter!
Autumn, our beautiful puppy, stayed with Karen and Phil for 11 days when we were on holiday. Autumn was well looked after and loved spending time there. We love pets sent photos and updates every day, which gave us great peace of mind that our puppy was happy. We will definitely use their services again and recommend them to friends and family. Thank you We love pets
Can't thank Karen and Phil enough for looking after shadow while we attended my sons wedding! They made sure she got her tablets, was fed and walked. We got updates and these photos of her looking so happy 😊 Definitely made our day stress free knowing she well looked after. Did an amazing job with our nervous pup. Thank you!
We love pets are fantastic. We have 2 golden Retrievers and they just love Karen when she comes to stay. She literally moves in to our home and looks after our pups..takes them for walks and gives them all the attention that we would ourselves..and it gives us peace of mind. Highly recommend 👌 …
Highly recommend We Love Pets Belfast! Karen, Phil and the team are so reliable, punctual and loving to my pet dog. They treat him as if he was one of their own. My dog is so much happier after his daily adventure.
I recently hired We Love Pets to watch my dog, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience! From the moment we met, it was clear that they genuinely love animals and are highly attentive to their needs. My dog immediately warmed up to them, which isn’t always the case. Throughout the stay, Karen provided regular updates, photos, and videos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. My dog came back happy, well-exercised, and clearly well taken care of. I highly recommend We Love Pets to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy sitter!
I am very happy with the service provided by We Love Pets Belfast. All of the dog walkers are very professional and obviously have a passion for their work. My dog Laoise looks forward to Lisa, or Rúa, or Philip coming to pick her up and she loves meeting the other dogs. Would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a dog walking service
We were delighted to find Karen, a pets home from home! Our cocker spaniel is typically anxious and very attached but following his first meeting with Karen he didn’t look back when we dropped him off for a sleepover! We had a very chilled out, tired and happy pup when we picked him up the next day. Would definitely recommend Karen and look forward to booking again very soon!
I have been using we love pets since I got my dog around 3 months now. It's an amazing service that allows us to feel comfortable and safe being away and knowing our dog is happy and safe. They provide updates and pictures everything. I am co tinuing to use them and would highly recommend them for any services or support your pets may need!! 100% everytime
Karen was extremely professional and always made sure to put our needs first. We have a very excitable young Collie who loved the care and attention provided by Karen and the team. Lots of play and walks with plenty of photo updates for us while we were on holiday. Can’t recommend highly enough!
Karen looked after my 2 rescues for a week while we went on holiday. Both my dogs are far from easy to manage with behaviour issues and we had been on the look out to find a trusted sitter that could manage them. Despite concerns (as it was the first time anyone other than family had ever looked after them), Karen made us feel so at ease and showed us that she clearly has alot of experience with all types of dogs. She lived in our home for a week and looked after our pups, sending us daily updates of pictures and videos of what they’d been up to. Our dogs absolutely loved her! They were crying at the window when she left… so safe to say she treated them like her own. We’re so grateful we now have Karen as a trusted pet sitter and can take holidays in the future knowing they are in safe hands. Thank you Karen ❤️
Leanne is the most welcoming host, a true cat lover. Wouldn't take my cat anywhere else. Cats are spoilt during their stay
Leanne is just so kind and caring and understanding of each individual cat's needs. She knows each of them by name and takes the time to get to know their personalities. I have left my cats with her on two occasions now and I know I don't need to worry about a thing, even though my boy adores his mummy and my girl is very timid. Leanne has won them both over to a tremendous degree and I am so glad to have found her. She only takes a small amount of cats at a time to alleviate stress that may be caused, which is great as each cat gets a lot of devoted time. Absolutely recommend her 100%.
Our cat spent a week here. Well looked after and Leanne the owner makes sure that they are kept well fed and clean. Also there a wee cat run so they can get a bit of exercise and variety in their day.
Beautiful cattery, caters to all cats Including those with special needs. Outdoor run which is spacious and lots of climbing room which is perfect for playing etc also very cosy inside, any cat outdoor or indoor will enjoy their stay something for everyone's little fur baby. Not to mention leanne has a passion for animals and loves all her little fur guests xx
My cats stayed here for 8days. It was their first stay away from home. They were well but not happy on my return. Being restricted to outside did not suit them but they were as comfortable as they could be in the circumstances. If your cats are used to living indoors then this is the perfect facility.
My cat was very well looked after while he stayed here, Leanne is very kind and attentive with the cats. I highly recommend this cattery if you need somewhere for your cat to stay.
Fabulous cattery home from home defo use Tinkerbell's again. Safe, clean and good price. Leanne is brilliant, sent photos and updates
Fantastic place, staff are so friendly and professional. First time leaving my cat in a cattery. My cat was really well looked after and was very content there. I was recommended this place by a few people and was not disappointed!
A brilliant place to leave your cat. leanne is a star
Best place my wee honey loves it I can go and enjoy my holiday and not worry Leeanne is the best highly recommended
Great place, our dog is really anxious and the staff are always great with him, sending photos when he stays too which I love! Great place
Brilliant and friendly staff. Our pup loves walkapaws. Would recommend walkapaws to one and all
I’ve brought my dog here twice now and she loves it! She always comes out exhausted and has such a great time socialising with other dogs. They take great care of the dogs and in terms of feeding, grooming etc it’s exceptional. For the price you pay you get 10 times the quality! Wouldn’t think of going anywhere else!
Brilliant home from home for Penny. She loves Walkapaws so much...she doesn't even look back at us when we are dropping her off. Big thanks to Lydia and the team for looking after her so well xxx
My snoop has been going here for 10 years, friendly caring staff who know how to look after your furbabies
We have been leaving our 2 dogs with Walkapaws for 6 years and never had a problem. Staff are brilliant. I wouldn’t leave them anywhere else as our 2 love the human interaction as well as the important socialising with other dogs. Dogs are pack animals and need to have time with other dogs. Our dogs always come home happy and well cared for. We get photos and updates when away. They are brilliant.
My dog has been going to Walkapaws for 8 years now. There's been a few changes, but he loves it, and we are always happy with the care and attention he gets while he's in their care. Would 100% recommend it.
Had my 2 girls in for a day and groomed, they had a ball have known Lydia a long time when she used to board my big girl who was also a shepherd black. They had a really close bond, really caring and attentive to her, and my 2 girls I have now. Keep up the good work Lydia 👏 see you again soon. Xxx …
We have been bringing our boxer Herbie here for daycare and boarding since he was pup. He absolutely loves it, staff and all the doggy friends he has made over the years. Lynne and Lydia are amazing with the dogs and have been fantastic over the years. Wouldn’t take Herb anywhere else. Thank you folks for all your help over the years and years to come x
Our dog has been coming here for years. The team are so good with her. Cant recommend this place enough. They go out of their way to make sure she is well looked after and we are updated regularly with pictures when we are on holiday. Any last minute requirements they try and help us out as much as possible. We'd be lost without them.
This place feels more like a resort than a kennel—our two dogs absolutely love it here! Both of our dogs are fed a raw diet, and one of them requires a special raw food with kibble, avoiding chicken and other ingredients. The staff accommodates this with no trouble at all, which is such a relief. They also send regular updates, which is fantastic—it’s so reassuring to see how much fun our dogs are having while we’re away. We really couldn’t thank the girls enough for looking after our weenies.
I can’t recommend Good Dog Academy NI highly enough! They took fantastic care of my pup Olivia, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. They provided regular updates, which gave me peace of mind and allowed me to see just how well she was being cared for. It is evident that they truly love dogs and know how to keep them happy and engaged. Olivia came home happy and and I can tell she had a blast! Thank you Good Dog Academy NI for your exceptional service!
The absolute best kennel about, Ashley and Heather are amazing and make me wee dog feel so at home. I wouldn't send him anywhere else! He is so well looked after and comes home in great form - I never worry about him when I am away and get great updates about his stay. It's a real peace of mind knowing he enjoys his visits and is spoilt rotten! Thank you so much to the whole team for being so good to him!!
I was quite apprehensive about leaving Daisy in overnight boarding but within 5 minutes of meeting the ladies at GDA I needn't have worried! It's so clear they are passionate about what they do and Daisy absolutely loves being there. She recently had a six night stay and didn't even look back when we dropped her off! We returned home to a very content and tired dog after six days of fun with her pals at the resort. We had complete peace of mind while we were away and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Good Dog Academy - thank you !
Can’t recommend Good Dog Academy NI enough. Bruno has been going to daycare twice a week for a year now, he absolutely loves it and comes back shattered every time. We’ve also left Bruno on multiple boarding trips, one was even 10 days long. They sent over regular updates to keep our minds at ease. Ashley and Heather are also two of the nicest people I’ve ever met, they both have all the time in the world for you and your dog and are also so helpful when needing advice for your dog.
I left my fur baby here with her cousin and they shared a kennel. While we were on holiday we got updates regarding them with photographs of them enjoying themselves. It is so handy to where I live so I will be using them from now on. It was my dogs birthday while I was away and the photos show they celebrated her birthday with her. I am so happy I have found somewhere to leave her now. The girls were so amazing with them.
I can't recommend the good dog academy ni enough Heather & Ashley are both amazing girls .... from the minute coco & Bella arrived over xmas they were fussed over & made to feel at ease ... when I go up here to leave my dogs i feel these girls just don't do it as a job I feel like it's their passion they are animal lovers.... the place is like a 5 star furbaba resort ... my 2 even came home with a doggy bag from santapaws .... they both loved it.... They slept for hours when they got home they were so tired from playing .... I will definitely be booking them both back in for another fantastic few days in may .... I wouldn't go anywhere else as the girls constantly updated us too with photos & how they were getting on which means everything to me to see my dogs have so much fun & interaction this is why I will pick here every time ..... thank you good dog academy ni 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
We took our first holiday in a long time this year and it was also the first time we needed to board our dog. As a member of our family, it was important to us that we find people who understood that we wanted him to socialise and have fun! Everyone at Good Dog Academy was excellent from start to finish. They kept us up to date with great pictures and made the whole process stress free. We'll definitely be back and highly recommend them to anyone. When we picked him up he was happy and curious and I've never been so pleased to pay for a service. Absolutely first class.
Left our two dogs in Good Dog Academy and couldn't have felt more at ease that they were in great hands. From the personalised updates and plenty of photos showing the dogs being played with and having a great time. The girls are just fab and couldn't be more accommodating. Great place!! 🐾🐾 …
We entrusted our deaf border collie, Tadhg, who has several health issues, to Ashley and Heather at The Good Dog Academy NI for three nights. Despite our initial apprehension, their professionalism and expertise shone through from the moment they met Tadhg. Throughout his stay, they provided regular updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind. Tadhg returned home calm and happy, demonstrating the care and attention he received. Heather's understanding of border collies, having her own, further assured us of his comfort. This was Tadhg's first time away from us, and we're grateful it was a successful experience, thanks to Ashley and Heather's exceptional care and dedication.
I couldnt recommend Dog Tyred enough! My dog has been coming here since these guys opened, and she could not be any happier when I drop her in! Of course, a tyred dog is guaranteed after a few hours here, having fun and socialising with other dogs!
These guys are so lovely and know dogs so well. Our puppy has the best time every time! They cater to dogs any size!
Absolutely wonderful service, staff are true dog lovers and are lovely to deal with! Our dog visited for 2 days in a row while we were holidaying in the area and had a fantastic time.
My golden retriever Jess is always tired and rarely hungry when she comes home from dog tyred . I work an alternative day each week and they always accommodate her so easily which I'm grateful of. Videos of her online always show her enjoying herself and the place is spacious with outdoor play aswell. Jess races in when she is dropped off. Great for socialism and a play date. I recommend them.
Brilliant dog care for my fur baby Leia. She is very excited going to doggy day care at Dog Tyred.
Our peppa's first time at dog tyred and she had a great time came back knackered has slept all evening ! Definitely be back very soon.
My fur baby skips in here and has so much fun while she is here she's always happy and gets so much love from the staff great place for your puppies to play safely while you work, Highly recommended A****
They look after my dog very well. They're the best priced in the area and clearly care a great deal about the animals in their care. Would definitely recommend.
Staff are very friendly. Dogs loved the place, came home knackered. A range of options available, from all day stay to an hour's play
This place is Superb My Little pet just loves this place. She runs around so much she is just shattered when she comes home. She's a little Jack Russell
I cannot recommend this place enough. My dog, Winston is always so excited to stay there - it's his favourite place in the whole world. He rarely wants to go home after! Leaving your dog at Dog Days Newtownabbey you can be sure it's well looked after and it will enjoy a very fun and active day.
Our Beaker has been going to Dog Days since she was a wee pup, and yesterday she had her first birthday party, she loves going to daycare, and loves all of the staff and her new furiends! It has been great for her, and for us, she is so well socialised and she has tons of fun, and is always zonked when she comes home! I can't recommend or praise the team highly enough, we wouldn't send our girl anywhere else.
Alfie has been going to DogDaysNI for 4 years now. It has really helped him become more confident and he loves coming in to play with his friends. Emma and the team are fantastic and go above and beyond to celebrate special occasions like Halloween. I love getting brilliant photos of Alfie like these!
Miley, Nala and Dexter have all gone to DogDays from 14 weeks old. They absolutely love it and I can relax knowing they are well cared for and are having a ball. It’s great for socialising and they’re always wrecked when they come home. The staff are fabulous and really care for the dogs in their care.
Dog Days NI has been amazing for our little man Eric. He’s been going for 4 years now & we don’t know what we’d do without them! The team (especially Emma) are all incredibly caring & attentive. We love checking Instagram for photos & to see how his day is going. We both work from home full time but continue to send Eric a couple of days a week because he loves it so much! Thank you all again for looking after him & all his friends.We would recommend Dog Days NI to anyone!
Henry has been going to dog days since he was a pup - almost 5 years! It’s the best thing to help socialise your dog. So handy when you work full time, drop off from 7.30 and pick up before 6. Paul and the team are amazing, they’re so knowledgable & helpful! I would highly recommend! P.S They also take themed pictures on special special occasions 😂 - see pictures!
Dog days Newtownabbey are just the best. My dog Lulu has been going twice a week now for about a year. She absolutely loves it and runs to the door every morning to get in. She comes home content & exhausted with all the activities & running around playing with all the other dogs. The staff are amazing with her and very helpful with any questions I have. Also they stock Lulus favourite treats which is a bonus along with toys etc. All the dogs love the girls that look after them and I can go to work content she’s being well looked after. Big thank you to you all from Lulu & me. 😊
Lucy has been going to dog days for over 2 years now - I wouldn’t trust anyone else with her. All of the staff at dog days are so caring & attentive to the dogs. They understand their likes & dislikes and will always cater for all of the dogs. Lucy absolutely loves Emma. They always have fun activities on for all of the dogs (splash pool, enrichment games) etc. We would be lost without all of the team at Newtownabbey!
Bella loves dog days (school). The girls are so friendly and take time to get to know each dog. Bella was very nervous at the start but the girls were so patient with her and now she cries with excitement to get there. The updates are fantastic on social media. It makes our day to see her so happy with her friends and staff. The best doggy day care about!
The staff at dogdays are incredible. Our highly energetic border collie has amazing fun. All the dogs are given warm loving attention as well as plenty of games and exercise. Socialisation with other dogs has helped our dog to be calm and gentle. It has been a lifesaver for us. The staff are so friendly and helpful too. Nothing is too much bother. I feel our dog is safe and cared for there. Their facilities are great too with outdoor areas as well. The manager has so much experience with dogs, as well as qualifications in animal care. Their deals of 12 days for the price of 10 or 20 for 15 are also great value especially for anyone who has to go out to work-we have peace of mind she's well cared for. I heartily recommend this for your dogs.
Louise did a brilliant job with my cat Bonnie, who was originally a feral cat. Bonnie usually runs a outside and hides when someone comes to our house, however Louise managed to pet her and also give her treats from her hand on the meet and greet. This sealed the deal for me and reassured me I could leave Bonnie to be well cared for while away. We had our return flights canceled due the chaos of Fri 19th. However Louise saved the day and was able to step in for two more days and look after Bonnie until we could get home. She is an angel. Would highly recommend her especially for cats a bit more timid and untrusting. An excellent cat sitter,will definitely use again.
Louise looked after our 2 cats for a few weeks when we were away. She took great care of them and sent me daily pictures/videos and updates. Will def be using Dibbles Cat Sitting again!
I had never used a cat sitting service before, but as I have recently adopted two senior cats, I was fearful that they may think I was 'sending them back' to shelter. I had heard of Louise's business through another fab cat lady (Leanne of Tinkerbell's), and gave her a call. From the minute I met Louise, I felt perfectly safe leaving my cats with her in their own home. She is very warm and friendly and it clear from the get go that she has the best interests of the cats at heart. She takes the time to find out their favourite things and also learns what she needs to know about the workings of their home environment - so she cares about your home while you are away as well. First class service with daily photos and updates and I swear when I came back my cats looked at me as if to say 'What are you doing here? Where's Louise?' They were happy, relaxed and not at all fussed that I wasn't about lol Highly recommend and will definitely use in the future. Thank you for everything Louise!
Highly Recommend Dibbles Cat Sitting, we went away for a few days and Louise took great care of our cat. She even cleaned the litter box and left everything as it was when we left. Kimmy was well looked after and kimmy had a great time with Louise!
Louise has been looking after my three ragdolls for about four years now and she is just wonderful. I was really nervous leaving them the first time I went on a trip but Louise cared for them amazingly well and kept me updated every day on how they were doing. She took time building the cats trust and always spends individual time with each of them. Louise will bring different interactive toys and yummy treats which quickly made all three fall in love with her! As soon as you meet her you can tell she is such a warm and genuine person with a beautiful passion for cats. Louise has also been extremely knowledgeable on a range of behavioural issues and gave me amazing helpful information and advice (alongside the vet) on how to manage this. Recently, Louise gave up her evening to accompany me and one of my ragdolls to a ladies home, as I unfortunately had to rehome my youngest raggie. This is not generally part of her cat sitting service but she was more than happy to offer to come with me to help me find the right home for Charlie. Louise really is good right to her core and if she has availability to look after your cats, they will be very lucky and very spoilt
Louise provides an amazing service. Our cat was relaxed & happy when we came home from a few days away. She had obviously been well looked after. The regular videos were lovely too. Highly recommend Dibbles
Extremely happy with dribbles cat sitting services. Received reassuring videos and pics everytime she would visit. Found the house spotless and litter clean. My cat was happy to see her again when Louise returned our keys.
In summary - she's probably seems fine unless you have home cameras. Unfortunately, I have cameras recording 24/7 in a few rooms. I told her I have cameras at the meet and greet, and she was still neglectful towards my cats. They went 40 hours without litter being scooped, their fountains and dry food bowls were not cleaned at all in nine days, nor my cat grass watered (she did water the catnip once, I am trying to be fair and factual) and she only showed any real interest in my cats after I made it clear that I was now watching her ignore my cats instead of enjoying my holiday. I'm sure she'll have a reply about how much she loves cats and I'm overreacting. I have text conversations where she doesn't update every day, and at no point says anything is up with my cats until I say they're definitely not OK. I have her saying that she didn't use the automatic feeder because there wasn't a battery in it - again, to be fair and factual, the battery was in the bowls. You'd have had to pick it up and attempt to use it to find that out! She didn't bother with the ice pack for it once she did start using it, but by that point I'd stopped watching for my own sanity, so I couldn't tell her it was... Well, I'm not a professional cat sitter, but I usually keep it in the freezer. And obviously, there's the video footage. I'm trying to keep this short because it's easy for me to get too emotional and catty, if you'll excuse the pun. Happy to answer any questions privately if you can find this review on Facebook. I'm not going to engage in an argument online with someone who refused to watch the video evidence of what they did, or in this case, didn't do and instead chose to argue and say things like 'if I didn't scoop it's because they didn't need it' - well, if two indoor cats not using any of their trays for 24+ hours isn't a sign something is wrong, I don't know what is! Thankfully I could rewind and see them poo on my lovely cameras with time and date stamps. I recommend the cameras, at least.
Liam and Noel love it when they get a visit from Dibbles. Accomodating to all our requests. And the pictures of the cats sent to us are very reassuring.
We have 2 big dogs, and recently they stayed at A1 for 4 nights for the 1st time. We know our dogs well and we could tell they were both relaxed and happy when we collected them. Also the feedback we got from Barbara and Nigel was also spot on. It was clear they already knew them well enough. And we are confident the dogs were exercised daily. It means a-lot to have professional kennels, we feel we can trust, but more than that; they care about the animals. And its a bonus its close by! No hesitation in recommending.
Can't thank A1 enough for looking after my beagle for the last 9 days. Like a lot of pet owners, I was anxious about having to put him in kennels but with A1, there was absolutely no need. Louie was happy when we collected him yesterday and seemed to really enjoy his stay. I think he particularly enjoyed the company of the other dogs, which is a real bonus. I was also both delighted and reassured to receive a few pictures of him with his new friends. A1 was recommended to us and I can see why. I will definitely use them again.
Benji & Coco just back from their Holidays at A1 for 2 weeks! 4th time leaving the pugs with Barbara & Co and as always they have come home healthy, happy and shining! Thanks again & see you again next year!!
We've been using A1 Kennels for 12 years and we wouldn't go anywhere else. Nigel and Barbara are brilliant and their love for Doggys is second to none. Our Wee Milly and Miss Willow were both very nervous around other Doggys and after a few stays in A1 Kennels they are now jumping out of the car to get in. A1 Kennels is an excellent location for anyone travelling from Belfast as it's only 30 minutes drive. A1 Kennels also have a Cattery for those people who have Cats as their Pets. Nigel also does Dog Grooming and we have always used Nigel to groom Milly and Willow. The facilities are amazing and It's Home from Home for our Beloved Furbabes. Definitely 5*.
A1 boarding kennels is the best kennels we have found for our dog Zuma. He is a rescue and Barbara and Nigel are brilliant with him! He has been able to get out in the fields with other dogs and always runs off happily when we take him there. In fact this time, they did too good a job and our dog was so torn about coming home! He would have stayed happily. Always feels confident he is being so well looked after and getting time outside to play with the other dogs. Brilliant service, so would highly recommend A1.
We left both our large dogs Eddie and Rocco with A1 for two weeks. We chose them because of the social aspect of the group area they have for the dogs which we thought was quite unique. While we were away they kindly sent through photos and updates and when we went to pick up our boys, they were both so chilled and happy, I don't think they wanted to come home! Excellent facilities, proper dog people so our boys naturally kept going back over to them for pats as we were leaving. We are booked to bring the boys back for a week in August and will definitely use again in future. Excellent service and such peace of mind. Highly recommend. ❤️😁
Absolutely fantastic boarding kennels the only place I would trust my pups with. Service is 100%. Highly recommend
Over the moon with the care and attention provided by A1. Our dog Marley had a great holiday and actually looked sad to be leaving his friends behind. Marley was in pristine condition when I collected him. I highly recommend A1. Thank you so very much!
Barbara and Nigel are terrific hosts for our tribe of three boxers! Our dogs love their stays with them and never look back every time we drop them off. With the custom built play area, with covered area when the weather is wet (in Northern Ireland, who knew?) - and the trampoline - our dogs are always very happy there. With the added bonus that Nigel and Barbara upload pictures and videos onto Facebook we never feel too far from our fur-babies even when we’re away on holiday! Definitely have to recommend to any other dog lovers out there!
Having A1 recommended to me by a friend a few years back was the best thing ever! My dogs Riley & Miley love going to stay here and when we stop the car they run straight to the exercise paddock without a backward glance! This reassures us primarily that our dogs are happy here. Nigel and Barbara are a super team who obviously have a genuine care and warmth for the animals. They go out of their way to accommodate owners requests and my dogs love them! Highly recommend A1 Boarding Kennels and Nigel & Barbara, first class service always! 🐾🐶🐾
The team at Aldergrove took exceptional care of Nala recently. Thoroughly recommend them!!! Nala came home clean and happy ❤️
Best place to leave your fur babies while your at work or going on holiday they get treated like royalty, staff is amazing Carla goes above and beyond for all the dogs and clients
Have always hated leaving our fur babies in kennels until we found here. Carla and the girls are amazing !!! I couldn't recommend them enough, our two are always happy to go and don't want to leave.
The girls here are absolutely outstanding and my dog loves coming here. On my initial visit Carla walked me round and showed me the facilities and it made me feel at ease leading my dog here. Then, when I collected her I could see how much all the team love and look after the dogs as mine didn’t want to leave.
Our absolute number 1 boarding kennel, we love them so much! We’ve boarded our 3yo GSD Austin here multiple times and they will always be our first choice! It’s so clear that they genuinely love spending time with the dogs and Austin always comes home happy, clean and well cared for! Can’t recommend them highly enough, the whole team are excellent!
My parents were stuck last minute for somewhere to leave wee dog while on holiday and Carla really went out of her way and looked after her really well. Would use again and highly recommend ! She also came home so clean and tidy!
Outstanding! Like many people my dog is my world and knowing he is being looked after well whilst I am away is incredibly reassuring. Carla and her team are fantastic, always proffessional and genuinely seem to love looking after the dogs. The photos of him having fun and playing are the best and I would not hesitate to recommend this place to anyone.
Absolutely brilliant. My dog was very happy and well looked after. I was very worried about leaving her , but had constant reassurance and photos sent to me. Have booked again. Excellent service
Eireann is great with our Teddy and all my sisters dogs. Does a great job of trimming and cleaning his coat and he loves her, which helps. Great place and lovely staff.
My little dog blondie has stayed a few times now ...she absolutely loves it there ....Carla helped me out at very short notice a few weeks back as my big dog was ill ....I can't thank Carla and staff enough for all you done ....highly recommended..amazing place ....and blondie always comes home smelling amazing.
Great service from Rachel. She looked after my birds and fish. Provided update on each visit. Came back home to find them all doing well and happy.
I was away from my cat for the first time and Rachel really helped to put my mind at ease. Having a meet and greet before hand, excellent communication and professionalism - I couldn't recommend her services enough, I will definitely be booking again. It was lovely to get photos and videos from each visit and I came home to a stress free pet!
We found Rachael very last minute and we wish we had found her sooner! We had peace of mind with Rachael minding our little cat as she sent daily photos and videos. From our initial meet and greet I was already at ease. Very professional and brilliant to deal with. You can tell Rachael loves animals and she is a true professional and an over all lovely person. We will definitely be returning customers and would recommended anyone to have Rachael look after their pet.
Amazing service. From the first minute of our holiday to the last we felt so comforted that our two cats were being well looked after. Daily photos, videos and updates on their antics. Rachel is a wonderful person and will be our go to pet sitting service from here on in.
I have just had the experience of Rachael pet sitting my cat, Honey and it was a roaring success. Honey is a little timid but she appears to have taken to Rachael from the outset. I was provided with twice daily updates which were much appreciated and came home to a very happy and relaxed cat. In addition Rachael had hoovered and emptied the bins,imagine. This will definitely be my go to option in the future. Very many thanks Rachael.
Rachael was great! We met beforehand to discuss expectations and My fur babies loved her straight away 😊. We felt assured our dogs where in safe hands and loved the little photos we got from her home visit. We would highly recommend Rachael and home comforts, we will be using her more in the future! …
It's such a relief to find someone who I trust to look after my cat. Rachael is so reliable and provides regular updates and pictures. My cat is usually quite shy but was all over her from the first meeting. Would 100% recommend Rachael to keep your pet settled and secure in their own environment/home while you are away from them.
I’d 100% recommend Home Comforts! Rachael was amazing with our cats when we went on holiday for a week. She was especially patient with our older cat, who tends to hide from strangers and often won’t eat when we go away. After some coaxing, she managed to win him around! I also really appreciated the daily updates and photos/videos. It’s great to know and see that they are being well cared for.
Rachael is fantastic, has a really lovely way with animals. She sends regular updates, photo or video for every visit. Would highly recommend.
For the first time since I had my cat, I had to find a pet sitting service while I was away and was not disappointed by my choice. While my cat is very shy, Rachael has shown a lot of patience and attention to detail while looking after her and was always careful to provide updates and photos. I returned home to a happy ball of fur that looked like she did not miss anything in the two and a half weeks. I can definitely say that I will be getting in touch with Rachael in the future whenever I will need someone to look after my cat while I am away.
We've been using Canine Lodgings for our rescue hounds for the past year and they provide a fantastic service for day care and overnight stays in a home from home environment. Harry is brilliant with the dogs and they are safe and very well cared for and exercised in his fully secure space. Highly recommended!
Bruce has recently started going to Canine Lodgings for daycare once a week and I could not be happier to have found this place! It is extremely clear he is so well taken care of throughout the day and he comes home so exhausted from playing non stop. He literally gets so excited just driving up the driveway, a clear sign it’s a great place! I would definitely not hesitate to recommend them to everyone!
