Providing Pet Sitting in the County Leitrim, Ireland
Responsible & respectful, fun loving couple, who love pets, plants and adventure
Sean & Eva were the unexpected answer to our housesitting search! We are so grateful they agreed to our sit. They were relaxed, organized, asked all the right questions & easy to communicate and plan with. We found them to be friendly with quick responses. We appreciated the updates of our pets (dog & salt-water aquarium) and we know Goose will be counting down the years until he gets to see them again. Our home was impeccably clean upon our return, the lawn was mowed, and flowers tended too, PLUS they left us with a DELICIOUS pot of chili and homemade bread to help us transition back to life in our home! We are so grateful they chose us for a sit as our home and pets (and souls) were well taken care of. Please make sure you respond to Sean and Eva immediately so you can secure them for your sits!!

Combining travel and and my love of caring for animalS
Carol was a wonderful house sitter! We were very happy to get to meet with her a few weeks before her sit for us, since she was already in town, and we did a little tour and she got to meet the cats. Despite dealing with some personal family issues while we were away, Carol was an attentive house sitter and she sent us regular updates about the cats. Our house was very clean and tidy when we got home, which made for a lovely homecoming. The cats were clearly happy and had been well taken care of. We'd be happy to host Carol again any time!

Home and pet and garden carer
Avril is a very nice person, who gave me great reports on my Kismet, looking after him very well. She left the house sparkling, and a wonderful bouquet of flowers . Thanks Avril, I hope you enjoyed your stay.

Dog, Cat (and Rabbit!) Whisperer Supreme. Trustworthy. Will go that extra mile!
Liz and Vladi were perfect guests and pet-sitters! They took good care of our Dachshund/Teckel Lola, the house and gardens. Lola is not always the easiest to manage, but Liz was very patient, instantly bonded and looked after Lola with care and attention. All communication was prompt, easy and pleasant. Liz asked well in time if she could bring along Vladi, which that was perfectly fine and worked out well. We all got along really well and had fun in the extra day that we took to explain our routines with Lola and to introduce Liz and Vladi to their surroundings. It was wonderful to get to know each other and we recommend Liz gladly as a five-star pet-sitter!

Nice French couple who love animals and travel
This was the Second time Carine & Tony have Housesat for us. Everything was perfect, communication before and during, very clean and tidy house on our return. Overall great house / dog sitters whom I would highly recommend. We travel back and forth to our holiday home in Spain frequently, and if Carine & Tony are willing and available we will most certainly have them sit for us again.

Semi-retired professional couple who love travel.
Eamon and Clare were FABULOUS sitters! From the initial chat over video link, we knew our three animals were going to be in great hands. Eamon and Clare arrived when they said they would and settled in immediately, were friendly, and engaging, keen to know all the elements about the house, pets, medications etc. We have a cat and two dogs, one of whom is 17 ½ and needs extra care, but nothing was too much trouble for them. They are self-reliant, organised (Eamon had a spreadsheet…), kind and funny too. They adapted to the needs of the house and pets with ease – and we only hope our pets behaved as well! We’d happily recommend Eamon and Clare, and hope they come back, even if just for a holiday!

Lover of fur, feathers and scales ❤️
Amazing Pet Sitter! I am incredibly grateful for Karoline and Brendan's exceptional care of my pets while i was away. My 3 dogs were not only safe but genuinely happy, thanks to their loving attention. My home was spotless upon my return, and i even noticed the girls all missed them :) The bond they formed with my pets was heartwarming. I highly recommend Brendan and Karoline to anyone needing a reliable and caring pet sitter. Thank you for treating my pets like your own! Warm regards, Tracey

Ready and willing
This was Edel’s second time coming to look after my two dogs Lill and Phoebe. I can not recommend Edel enough. I got regular updates and came home to two very happy dogs and a spotless home. If you’re lucky enough to get Edel as a pet sitter then grab the chance, she’s excellent. Hopefully she will come back to Achill again to look after Lill and Phoebe.

A reliable, organized friend and carer for your beloved pets and for your home!
As ever, Andrea’s sit was the best. Everything runs so smoothly everytime. And Lottie and her have become besties. Above all, Andrea’s care of Lottie and my home are second to none. We look forward to having you back soon!
"A relaxing and long time away from home made possible by the best pet & house sitters we could have asked for!" Judy and Steph went the extra mile over their entire one month stay at our home. Both our cats became fast friends thanks to the care and dedication provided for them. We were routinely updated with spectacular photos of our furry girls throughout our leave that helped us be anxiety-free the entire time. Even our older shy cat spent time sleeping on their laps or hanging out on shoulders. As for the house, Judy and Steph left it even cleaner than when they arrived! We had a few tasks to maintain the lawn and potted plants outside, which were completed perfectly. They even tended to our vegetable garden where needed! During a 'risk of severe hail storm' alert, Judy and Steph kept us in the loop and went even further to place potted plants under shelter out of harms way. In summary, we recommend Judy and Steph and would happily have them return again if our schedules cross paths.
Kathy and Ron have sat for us several times in the past and have always been excellent. They are our "go-to" pet and house sitters and we always check their availability before we post a sit. They are trustworthy, organized, communicate very well, and take great care of our cats and our house. We hope they will continue pet sitting for many years to come!
Chris and Julia were our very first sitters and are the most perfect house/pet sitters anyone would ever want!!! Julia sent video/pictures of our fur babies everyday and we noticed early on that our animals were very relaxed and happy!! This made our trip so enjoyable and stress free knowing that our animals were safe and being spoiled and loved the whole time. They even trained our dog to sit while her leash was being attached and was able to pet and hold our cat that is somewhat nervous around strange people he doesn't know. When I got back from the trip, the house was very clean along with Julia/Chris had washed the bed sheets, bath towels, vacuumed, dusted etc., and even washed the pet bedding. They also left some SE Asia treats for us to try which so sweet of them. Definitely the perfect house sitters!!!
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!
Stefany helped me out big time by stepping in when I asked. She's a local sitter and I wasnt' having any responses so I contacted her and she fit me into her schedule even during the holidays and right after another sit across the country. She took great care of my two cats and home and I very much appreciate it!
Becca was fantastic - we cannot say enough about how great she is as a pet and house sitter and as a human being! Becca committed to the sit 8 months in advance and was great with her responsiveness in communication during the long lead up to the sit. She arrived early and got the low downs on the animals and house stuff prior to us leaving. She woke up crazy early to help us get to the airport and picked us up when we returned, which made the traveling so much easier on our end. She left the house spot-less (and this is no exaggeration), with the linens cleaned, and a wonderful meal waiting for us upon our return. She is an absolute gem of a person with a great sense of humor and a kind and compassionate nature, and she really enjoys the animals in her care. Our dog and cat were very well cared for and totally at ease upon our return. If you are lucky enough to have Becca sit for you, you will be very pleased at how well she does the job!
Best house and pet sitters we've ever had! They definitely gave our cat and dog plenty of love and attention.
Brian is a very professional sitter that does a good job, pays attention to details and is easy to work with. I have a lot of plants. A lot. He suggested me do a video for the plant care so he could be sure of which ones needed what. Brilliant! I’d never thought of that. They were in great shape when I returned. I explained that I needed some flexibility with travel dates, he agreed and rolled with the punches like a champ when my dates did indeed change. Unfortunately, he was a bit allergic to my cat but made it work anyway. He was really awesome about everything including a tree that fell next door in a storm and blocked the road for three days. I appreciate that he appreciated how funny and how much personality Boo has. They got along well and I received some great videos. I returned home to a happy cat and a house well taken care of 😊. I would definitely recommend Brian.
Someone was smiling down on us when Kevin and Mary clicked on our very first House Sitter advert. They are straightforward, pleasant, reliable and fun. They kept in touch about their own plans when their flights were delayed. They tactfully left the house when our own cancelled flights meant we were staying a few hours longer than first planned. They sent just the right amount of photos, videos and texts of our cat while we were away! We all loved that. And on our return, oh my word, the house fairies had been to visit! They somehow managed to walk the perfect line between improving everything, without interfering at all. Clean, tidy, replenished. They asked what food we’d like on our return and boy did they deliver! Home made bean stew :-) and different things for the children. Really kind and generous. Communication was clear and also witty..! They dealt with the churn of small mammals our “somewhat independent” cat brought through the flap without complaint. They are a really nice couple, exuding a lovely American warmth and charm. It was a real pleasure, Kevin and Mary, thank you.
Caroline was a fabulous sitter and looked after our cat and the house beautifully. She is sensible and very self-sufficient but also kept us informed. We came home to a happy cat and a tidy house. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to others and hope she will sit for us again in the future!
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!
Excellent kennels!! Couldn’t recommend Liz higher! This was our second year using the kennels and Liz went out of her way to accommodate us last year. Both dogs have left happy and well looked after on both occasions 🐕 …
We had our Barney and Pedro stay with Liz for the first time over the weekend and I am really happy. They were really well looked after and Liz was really responsive to any message I sent while they stayed. I'm a very anxious dog mam and she really put me at ease. Also brilliant value for money. Thanks Liz.
Dropped my 2 dogs off perfect health, in fact they were at the vets the day before for a checkup, perfect health, picked them up after 7 days and were very sick, took them to the vet straight away and Both dogs had respiratory infections, they claim the Kennels are heated but I don't think so, also if the dogs were monitored in the least it would have been obvious they were sick, coughing, sneezing, not eating, not active. I never write bad reviews about anything but I feel compelled to warn others that this is not safe for your animals. Avoid if you care for your dogs/cats.
My 10 month old pup Chida had a weekend here in august. I was nervous letting her off because she has a lot of separation anxiety but Liz did a great job and Chida came back with her tail wagging. I would recommend liz to anyone looking for a kennel.
Good rates. My dog was looked after well, she came back same as we left her. Cant say the same about her soft toys 😄 …
We started using Shoemaker Kennels about 18 months ago. At first, we wondered if our rescue dog would take to the new environment, but our fears were unfounded - he LOVES going to 'Dog Hotel', as we humans call it. He loves going there, and he loves when we collect him, which is as it should be, so it's a it's a win-win situation for everyone. Liz and all her staff are professional, respectful of each dog's individual personality, and 110% trustworthy. We highly recommend Shoemaker Kennels.
They were able to take in my cat Tommy at short notice. Friendly staff, cheap prices and his apartment conditions were very nice.
We stopped leaving our 2 dogs Dolly and Minnie there.. the last couple of times we left then there they came back stinging to the high heavens, I can't describe it other than pure musty or dirty bedding where they must have been laying. Luckily we found Lough Bo kennels where I can't say enough of how highly I recommend them, more expensive than Shoemaker but you get what you pay for and so worth it knowing my dogs are being looked after by real animal lovers and not people are are only in it for the money.
I left my Husky only for 2 days (Thanks God were only 2) because when i picked up the Dog was all wet and full of pee and very smelly,same as his bed. The dog had a very yellow urine as he didn't drink for a while. The lady at the entrance was very rude and not friendly with the Dog,she just pulled the dog till the cage. Not recommended at all. This is a Dogs prison!!!
Lovely local kennels, very helpful staff..our dog (14yrs) was very relaxed upon collection after 1 week.
I booked Kate's wedding package where she brought my dog to the wedding and then brought her home. It was amazing to have our dog there on the wedding day and have photos taken with her. Kate also then minded her for around 10 days while I was on Honeymoon. I knew my dog Laika was well looked after and had a great time. Kate loves animals, is so friendly, easy to deal with, professional and reasonable priced. I would really recommend Kate! :) Thank you so much from Emma Neary and Mark Kelly (and Laika!!) X
My dog daisy is a very nervous rescue dog with a very tramatic past and bad health so I was always nervous going away and leaving daisy However I have used Kate with knock area pet services from the beginning 7 years ago when going anymore to mind daisy. Kate has some very special and loving ability with all animals but especially nervous rescue dogs she is just amazing amazing and so patient with daisy and daisy trusts her and loves going there which shows me how much she loves Kate daisy is a hard dog to win around but Kate did from the very beginning Kate is sllo GODSEND with your dog a home away from home when you can trust your dog will be well cared for and looked after you can start to relax and have a good time knowing that your dog well looked after Thank you Kate for all you do for daisy Highly recommend her
Holy moly, unbelievable. Doggos hadn't been minded in 18 months so they were anxious to stay anywhere else but after the few days, they did not want to come home! Don't even consider anywhere else. This is the best place to leave your pet. Kate so trustworthy and really cares about animals. 10/10
Our doggie always comes back very happy.....no loss on her 🙂. Tom & Christine are very kind and accomodating. …
A great place for the pups to get a break when you go away. Tom and Christine are amazing with the dogs. Our 2 love it here. Very accommodating and very reasonable price. Wouldn't take our dogs anywhere else.
It was First Time we ever left our Dog in Kennels.. I was a bit anxious at first but after meeting Tom and seeing the place for myself I was quite happy to leave her there. Christine was so understanding and gave me updates on how she was getting on ( and even the odd Photo). Would HIGHLY RECOMMEND these Kennels. Very professional and great Service. See u again in Couple of weeks 🐾🐾🐾🐾
Tom & Christine are wonderful caring people, when you leave your pets you know they will be looked after exceptionally well, Dennis
Put our Ted in Dunmuckrum for 2 nights at short notice. Whilst we had separation anxiety Christine had immediately put us at ease. Ted loved it and hardly wanted to come home with us. We are delighted to have found kennels that we have confidence in
Great kennels, our staffy has stayed there a few times now in the past year and is happy when going in and coming home. Tom and Christine are very nice to deal with. We will use them again soon . Thanks 😊
I can leave my little baby girl without any worries. This place is awesome and my Lil doxie loves the owners which gives me peace of mind.
These reasonably priced kennels are in a rural setting just a few miles from Bundoran. Very friendly owners who are really flexible. Clean kennels & our dog seemed very happy going back in after a few hrs out - always a good sign. Would definitely use again if in the area.
I left Kim here and he seemed very happy. I have not used a kennels often as am nervous leaving him as all dog owners must be. I would use these kennels again thank you to Tom and Christine
if you have any affinity for your cats - please think twice - - a very dirty, full of cobwebs & very cold what looks like a disused cow shed with barely any natural light and dogs barking behind a wall... below low standard for cats
