Lorraine
Providing Pet Sitting in the Monkstown, Ireland
Reliable couple to love your pets and look after your home .
Lorraine, and her husband Adain, were the most perfect housesitters. Apart from being truly lovely folk, they took the greatest care of my 5 cats, treated my home with the same regard as I do, and made a delicious supper for us on our return. I've asked for the recipes! We will most definitely be inviting them back, and are currently looking at our 2025 holiday dates to accommodate them. It's a 5star+++ for this wonderful couple.
Denise
Providing Pet Sitting in the Monkstown, Ireland
Cat lover looking forward to meeting and minding your fur babies!!
We had Denise house sit for a weekend and look after our cat, Simba, and she did an amazing job! Her communication was excellent from start to finish, and it gave us peace of mind knowing she was taking such great care of our home and Simba. Simba usually takes a while to warm up to new people, but they hit it off right away. Denise's attention to Simba, especially when she first came over to meet us and Simba, made all the difference and gave us that extra peace of mind. Highly recommend Denise for anyone looking for a reliable and caring house sitter!"

Quiet Duo with a Steady Hand
Jim and Daria recently stayed in our house to look after our dog and cat for 10 days and I can't recommend them enough. From the moment I met them I felt like I could have trusted them with anything! We came back to a neat and tidy house and happy animals and it was a perfect first experience for us of having housesitters. I wish they did it professionally and I could have them to stay again! Thanks to you both :)
Bridget
Providing Pet Sitting in the Monkstown, Ireland
Available for short or long stays, open to anywhere!
Breda is fantastic. She looked after our dog and cat for the third time and was great. She's a great communicator, leaves the place spotless and most importantly takes excellent care of our pets. Highly recommend!
Laura
Providing Pet Sitting in the Monkstown, Ireland
Energetic, honest and caring (Non Smoker) to look after your home.
Laura looked after Ritchie for 2.5 weeks in our home in Dingle. She’s an absolute gem - caring, thoughtful, professional and very well prepared. She combined working from home with taking Ritchie out on a few adventures around the Dingle Peninsula which he loved, on top of his everyday walks. At all times we felt secure and updated & her regular photos were lovely to have as we miss him when we travel. We had a significant plumbing issue whilst we were away and Laura dealt with it patiently and constructively and never complained. We can’t wait to have her back. ❤️❤️

Caitríona & Jason were a very nice friendly couple. The are very easygoing and capable. The house was left really clean after their stay.
Silvana
Providing Pet Sitting in the Monkstown, Ireland
The caring pet lovers, happy non-smoking and reliable couple you are looking for
Silvana and Alejandro were the perfect pet sitters for our two dogs Indie and Bonnie. They are a lovely couple and clearly have a great connection with dogs. We met them beforehand to go through the details of the sit. When we returned from our short break we came home to two very happy dogs and a happy house. I would highly recommend them as pet sitters.
Frank
Providing Pet Sitting in the Monkstown, Ireland
Mountain View
It was great to have Frank available to pet and house sit here again as the dogs and cat are so comfortable around him now. Dogs, cat and hens were all happy when I got home and everything neat in the house. I recommend Frank to anyone as a reassuring and kind pet sitter.
Shirley Andrea

Love, attention and respect! Animal and nature lover
Shirley took good care of our two cats and house. We even invited her back to sit again. Highly recommend!
Jason
Providing Pet Sitting in the Monkstown, Ireland
I'll look after your house and animals as if they're my own!
House and Dog Sitting Review for Jason We had the pleasure of having Jason house and dog sit for us from the 20th of June until the 7th of July. As we are away for some time, Jason did the first sitting for Beau and our second sitter took over directly from him. Our next sitter said we should be satisfied with his services as Jason took good care of our home, and our dog, Beau. Beau seemed happy and well-cared for and she said he clearly seemed to have enjoyed his time with Jason. One aspect that impressed us was Jason's dedication to ensuring a smooth transition. He waited until the next house sitter arrived, demonstrating his commitment and reliability.
Reviews from Cat Owners
Janie
Cynthia was a perfect pet sitter for our little kitty. We knew from her extensive experience with cats that Nala was in good hands. She was extremely responsive via texts when we were away, ensuring us that the 2 of them were having a great time. She went absolutely above and beyond by scrubbing our bath and toilets to remove our mineral deposit rings that we haven't been able to get rid of! She even left the name of the product she used so we can get more in the future. The house was cleaner than when we left. We'll have her back anytime!
Claudia
Carole and Ron are excellent cat-sitters! They took very good care of my cat Lola and of my house. I came home to a happy cat and a very clean and tidy house. They sent me pictures of Lola and kept me updated, so that I had a very relaxed holiday. I very highly recommend them as cat- sitters and I would be thrilled if they would come back to sit for Lola again. Thank you so much!
KATHLEEN
I was fortunate to have Hillary return for a second sit. She took excellent care of both my cat and my home. She got on well with my neighbors and even allowed my friend to come visit Suley while she was there. I especially appreciate how flexible and accommodating she was regarding arrangements for a sitter who would be taking over for the second part of my very long absence. All in all, Hillary is a gem!
Oliver
Susan and Miranda are amazing! I've had the pleasure of working with many sitters and they are truly exceptional. They were great at keeping in touch, sent lots of updates, asked good questions, really bonded with the cats, clearly very experienced working with animals and understanding their needs, and generally lovely to deal with. They were really patient putting up with a whole bunch of deliveries and even assembled a spare bed! They also left the place spotless with clean sheets on the bed. I'm pretty sure the cats loved Susan and Miranda more than us by the end of their stay! I'd highly recommend them to anyone and would love to have them stay again any time.
Nina
After seeing the numerous positive reviews, I knew Cung would be an easygoing and professional cat sitter and house guest, and he was :-) Easy communication, prompt updates and clear concern for Boz & Artie's wellbeing, and pictures of cozying up on the couch together all made our time away secure and stress free. Upon returning home, the cats were chill and the apt was left spotless, as though he hadn't even been there.
Emelia
My partner and I left our cat Mango in Lindsey's care for a month so that we could get married. We were going from FL to ME, so it was a long way from home. We were gone for a month. Picking the right houses sitter was important. We are so glad we picked Lindsey (and she picked us). From before Lindsey got on her plan to fly down, until she was back home again Lindsey was communicative, considerate and positive. We felt like we had a family member staying at our place and because of who she is, Mango and our home's well being was a weight off our mind during the wedding. If the need arises in the future we will definitely be giving her the right of first refusal. Thank you so much Lindsey!
Monica
We can not exaggerate the care and love Juliet and Laurent gave to our cat, Piero, during his the last few weeks of life. While we left for our trip thinking he merely had a bladder infection, his symptoms turned for the worse a weeks into their sit and later revealed he had cancer. No one would wish their sitter to need to hospice their cat but Juliet and Laurent showed such compassion for Piero and volunteered to be with him when we made the decision to put him down. It was an emotional time for all of us and we will be forever grateful to our two caring cat and house sitters. We have had many fantastic housesitters through zeewoi but Juliet and Laurent top the list. Their professionalism, constant communication and compassion were exceptional. Should you have the opportunity to have them in your home, do not hesitate to book them, you will have no regrets. We do, however, regret that they had such a short time with Piero and had to experience such a painful event.
Carrie
Oh wow! Everyone should be so lucky to have Nicholas and Veerle watch their house and pets. These lovely people are pros! They communicated early and often, were super accommodating to some last minute changes (it was originally going to be only our cats to watch but we decided to keep the dog home as well so that added to the schedule and care needs) and they left the house spotless and all set up for another sitter who came in after them. We didn’t get the chance to meet because my departure and arrival times but I dearly hope I get to in the future because they were just great! I even heard how nice they were from My neighbors who say them out walking our dog. :-) They also sent regular pictures of the pets which look like pro-photography! Cannot recommend this couple enough! Your pets and house will be in good hands!
Jim
Heidi was an outstanding cat sitter for my Luna! She was very communicable via calls or texts. She followed all my guidelines for feeding and care of Luna. Luna was very content when I arrived home thanks to Heidi! My home was immaculate when I arrived and she did some snow shoveling. She even pulled a large broken tree branch off my roof following a windstorm. I hope Heidi is available for my next trip because she is awesome. Jim

Tonya was great and filled in after our other sitter had to cancel. She was very self sufficient and navigated acclimating herself to everything since she arrived after we left. She gave thoughtful updates on my cat and I could tell she really enjoyed her, so that means the world to me! She left the place immaculate and we will certainly have Tonya back!

Little Delights Dog Boarding and Dog Walking Services (Blackrock, Co. Dublin)
Recent Reviews:
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.
DogDayz Dublin - Dog Walking and Dog Care
Recent Reviews:
Rebeccah at Dogdayz has been walking Hank for well over 6 months. From the start, she always treated Hank like her own; she cares for him so well, always providing regular updates to me on her activities and general well being. Hank is very shy and since the pandemic he got used to be with us 24/7. However he loves Rebeccah and is really excited to spend some time with her! You will not find a more genuine, courteous, friendly and professional person, who put the dogs first at all times. We are incredibly lucky to have found Dogdayz and couldn’t recommend their dog walking service more.
We love DogDayz! Our Jack Russell Tavi absolutely adores coming here for daycare, he always has a great time and returns home exhausted after exploring beaches, parks and mountains. We also get lots of videos and photographs of Tavi having a good time during the day. They look after him so well. DogDayz are incredibly attentive and welcomed Tavi with open arms! They love dogs and you can see it from a mile away. I couldn't recommend more! 💕
Great service, Rebeccah has been so kind and patient with our elderly dog Lexi, and we loved receiving live updates throughout her walks! Would definitely recommend this service
Rebeccah has been excellent with our dog Freddie. She ensured she got to know his temperament and eased him properly so he settled comfortably into small group walks with other personalities that suited him. It has been great for him to be more social with other doggos again. He gets a really long and stimulating walk during the day; clear when we come home after work to a chilled and happy dog! Rebeccah is a clear communicator, professional, friendly and very reliable. Would highly recommend!
Rebeccah was incredibly helpful when we needed our dog minded with very short notice. She is incredibly professional, and was amazing with our Retriever Louis. He absolutely loved her. I would recommend Rebeccah to anyone!
We use Rebecca@ Dogdayz far walking our lurcher dog Charlie! We are so glad we found Rebecca, she is so good with dogs and you can tell she loves and understands them! Charlie adores her and always goes off with a happy trot 🙂🦮 Charlie is reactive with other dogs so it’s good to find someone that has patience with him! Rebecca is reliable, friendly and is very helpful if you need extra walks! Would have no hesitation in recommending Rebecca for doggie walks or caring for your pet!
Rebeccah and the DogDayz service is an absolute Godsend! We have an extremely hyperactive Jack Russell who needs long walks and almost constant stimulation. DogDayz take him out a few times-a-week and when he returns he is exhausted! The Dogdayz walkers are so polite, punctual and reliable and our dog loves when they show up to walk him! We 110% recommend DogDayz as a trusted and caring service for our dog!
Rebeccah has been a god send to us. She has been taking our mini dacshund weekly for a while now, to help him socialise better and he is improving so much thanks to this girl who has a clear love of dogs. This week Rebekah suggested bringing Dexter on a walk with the bigger dogs in her care to boost his confidence in their company, I know he will be in very safe hands with rebeccah and the relief of that is immense I would highly recommend dogdayz to my family and friends for it's reliable and professional service.
Rebeccah has been amazing with our doggos tyson and cookie. They are always delighted to see her and we are so happy we have found someone reliable and trustworthy.
Will definitely use again, Iv tried a few companies and by far the best and most reliable, couldn’t be happier !!
Pawfit
Recent Reviews:
Our dog loved Emma and her team! We were set up with weekly walks for our pup and we were thrilled with how much fun she had, and how tired she came home. Emma is super organized, very responsive and took such good care of our dog. We are so happy we found her and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for some extra walks and care for their pet.
Emma shared her professional skills as a judge at the Monkstown Tidy District Dog Show, Sept.2024. She also offered vouchers for dog walking or training to two lucky winners! Thanks for volunteering Emma. You were brilliant and kind to both dogs and owners.
Emma and her team at Pawfit have been taking my dog for walks for the past three years and I couldn't recommend them more highly. They treat Bella with such kindness, pairing her walks with dogs that they know she will have great fun with, and taking such good care of her. Pawfit have been so helpful, and Emma goes out of her way to accommodate us. Bella is always so happy to see them, which is the highest praise.
Emma made dog coaching easy for me to understand so that I was not accidently reinforcing unwanted behaviors but without being "mean". rewarding good stuff is the way to go. Lots of treats and games do learning is fun... Bess is always exhausted after but is always delighted to spot Emma coming across the park....
Emma looked after my dog and 2 cats recently and she was fantastic. She was very friendly and a natural with the animals. She kept me updated constantly and I immediately felt like I could focus on my work trip and not need to check in on how things are. I always know if my dog has been happy or not when I return as he is emotionally delicate, being a rescue, but he clearly was very happy and I came back to a relaxed dog. Emma even sent me follow up information with tips for dog training as my dog def could be a bit better on recall. The house was super clean when I came home and I would absolutely invite Emma back and hope the dates will work in the future.
Highly recommend Pawfit for dog walking. Emma and her team are professional, careful and love dogs! Emma has walked our high energy working cocker spaniel for over 2 years and we’ve been very happy with the service. Emma is reliable, professional, insured and responsible. We particularly like that Pawfit don’t walk lots of dogs at once and only walk dogs in small groups or individually. We feel that this is much safer. Emma is lovely and is responsive to communication. It’s a big thing to trust your dog to someone else’s care and we would have no hesitation in recommending Emma and Pawfit.
When we lived in Seaport, Emma and her team were beloved by our four-year-old golden retriever. Daisy had a great relationship with all of them and would return home from her weekly walks happy, tired and sometimes a little sandy from the beach. No matter, Emma would hose her off and clean her up if she needed it. We have since moved back to the states, but when we get around to hiring a dogwalker here, Pawfit will be the standard by which they will be measured.
I cannot recommend Emma enough! Her expertise, patience, and dedication as a dog trainer is incredible. She worked with my bichon frise to address destructiveness at home, and the results have been wonderful. Emma not only helped my dog become more relaxed and fulfilled but also taught me valuable skills to be able to train him in other areas we’ve been meaning to work on for better overall behaviour. She has an enthusiastic and positive approach that made myself and my dog feel comfortable from day one. If you're looking for a professional and compassionate dog trainer, Emma is the best choice!
I could not recommend Emma & Pawfit highly enough! The level of professionalism and the undeniable love for dogs that the team has is reflected in the level of love my pup has developed for them since the very first time they came in to our lives! Having a large breed dog can come with its challenges but Emma and the team took the time to chat about my dog, his characteristics, nature, likes and dislikes before meeting him and ensuring that he was comfortable before taking him on what have been some of the best walkies he’s ever enjoyed (based on his incredibly excited reactions to seeing the team show up to take him out again and the pics and vids sent to me of their adventures while I was unable to walk him). His dogs walks were tailored to his temperment, energy levels and personal preferences (ie loves a good splash in water) and I was even given some tips on training based my own questions and areas that I wanted to work on. My dog LOVES the Pawfit team and I dont think that anything could speak to their talent and professionalism more than that.
Our dog Charlie has been availing of Pawfit's services in the Blackrock/South Dublin area for a couple of years now and we cannot recommend them highly enough! Emma and the gang are always reliable when it comes to Charlie's walks, training, minding and any other expertise we might need! They are extremely knowledgeable and experienced on all things dog related, very caring and completely trustworthy. As dog owners, we can't recommend Pawfit highly enough; but the real proof is the full-body wags from Charlie whenever he sees Emma at the door!
Pup 'N' Pet Services
Recent Reviews:
During the holidays, when it was very difficult to secure boarding for my cat, I had the good fortune to find Pup 'N' Pet Services in Blackrock. Samira-Lola Trimble was warm, kind, courteous as we made all the arrangements for 10 days of boarding. I was impressed by the professional approach to all documents to ensure a safe, agreeable arrangement. Throughout my time away, Pup 'N' Pet Services remained in contact to inform me of my cat's well-being, how she was thriving during the boarding experience. Truly, I appreciated those messages and videos. At the end of her stay, my cat was happy, healthy; she had clearly received very fine care. If you are seeking a warm, home environment for your pet while you are away, Pup 'N' Pet Services takes superb care of your beloved fur friend. I shall definitely call them again when I next need to travel.
Such a great service! We booked our puppy in with Pup n Pet for two days and an overnight in December. It was our puppy’s first night away from us and we weren’t sure how he would react. We needn’t have worried! From the moment he was collected, Samira and Cormac put him at ease. We got updates and pics over the course of his stay and he was as happy and calm arriving home as he had been heading off. Pup n Pet were so easy to deal and reliable with collection/drop off times. Thank you guys, we will defo be using your services again!
Used their Cat Sitting Service (in home). Appreciate their service during Christmas. They sent photos and videos everyday while I was away.
South Bark Blackrock Dog Walking & Daycare
Recent Reviews:
Been sending my dog here since they started up, Remy loves coming to the daycare and hates leaving. They always look after him and he is exhausted when the day is done. Highly recommend their service
My dog gets so excited coming here to hang out with all his pals. The girls do such a great job looking after them all and tiring them out on big adventures. The best day care around!
Our doggo loves South Bark !
Great daycare and walking service. My dogs love their time there.
Our little dog adores your service. Big thanks!!!
Excelent services
Thank you!! 🐶 …
Thank you!! ❤️❤️❤️
OUTPAWS
Recent Reviews:
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
VetSit Doggy Daycare, Dog Grooming and Boarding
Recent Reviews:
My cavapoo Rufus has stayed both for daycare and overnight boarding with Vetsit and most recently a long holiday which he absolutely adored. Rufus can be an anxious pup both around dogs and when spending time away from his family but it’s clear to me he has found both a second home and an extension of family with the other pups and staff at Vetsit. While away on holidays, Rufus received the VIP Vetsit experience as aside from the endless cuddles, I was able to avail of regular hair brushing, tooth brushing and a dog bath which left him looking and feeling his best during and after his stay! The staff have been nothing short of amazing, always giving me peace of mind with daily pictures of him and his friends on their Instagram, daily updates on their website and a direct contact number for any queries I might have at any time. If you’re looking for a place you can trust, look no further, they are pawsitively the best in the business 🐾
Wally absolutely adored his recent weeks holiday to VetSit, and from seeing all of the photos and updates it is no surprise why! He spent his days making lots of new pals, running around in the fields and charming lots of cuddles with all of the staff. We were anxious leaving him given how spoilt he is at home, but the regular photos on Instagram and on our VetSit account reassured us he had instantly been made one of the family. We came home to a happy, healthy Wally who will absolutely be back after the above and beyond care and fun he had at VetSit.
For the last couple of years our two dogs Lottie and Mia have gone weekly to Vetsit for doggy daycare and have also stayed overnight on a number of occasions. The team are so kind and caring. Mia is an older dog and Lottie is very small and can be nervous at times around other dogs, and the team cater to their needs and look after them so well, going above and beyond. They also get their grooming done at Vetsit during daycare every couple of months, and we regularly get compliments on how well groomed they are afterwards. I can’t recommend Vetsit enough!
Our two dogs stayed last weekend for their first overnight. We were really happy. The dogs were happy. Then staff are all very authentic and passionate about dogs. Lovely videos of our two dogs having fun in the field and we could see the nice warm sofas the dogs sleep on. The team take an individual approach to each dog. We are booked for a week now and I feel a lot of peace of mind in letting Katie Amy and the VetSit team mind our dogs.
My 2 pups have been visiting Vetsit for over two years now. The staff are excellent and always take such great care of them both. One of my dogs is very nervous and anxious, but LOVES her visits! My other is older and has had a few health issues. She is always well cared for. I could not recommend them enough.
Vet Sit is a wonderful service. Staff are welcoming of the owner as well as the dog! It is a pleasure to deal with a professional team in a beautiful setting. We have used the grooming and dog boarding service 5 stars 👏for both! Jackie The Scalp …
Teidi and Daisy got on brilliantly at VetSit! We are so pleased that we have somewhere safe that can take care of both of our dogs. Our eldest, Teidi, has never been in a boarding environment before and usually gets minded by friends and family...which is much harder to arrange now that we have Daisy. VetSit was like a home from home. The dogs were well exercised and calm when they came home. The staff member who greeted us was so warm and reassuring. We are thrilled that we have found VetSit.
Lilly Pug has been going to VetSit regularly for daycare and boarding since she was old enough to do so, and she absolutely loves it! Lilly is very much a Mama's girl and VetSit is one of the few places she'll actively go into without a backward glance to check that I'm there too. She always comes home happy and tired out from having so much fun! VetSit's facilities are second to none with acres of fields for the dogs to run around and play, comfortable sleeping areas and a team of people who obviously love what they do and love the animals in their care. Simply put, they're the best in the business!
It was Molly’s first time at VetSit and she loved it! All the staff are always very friendly and helpful, and they really take a very good care of all dogs. Our Molly is still a baby, she’s only 3 months old and the staff managed to look after her very very well. VetSit is like a paradise for dogs:) Big Thank You to all staff! We will see you soon. Best regards, Lili
Our 2 dogs absolutely loved their recent stay at vetsit. The team are so lovely and looked after the dogs so well. We were able to see the dogs each day on the Instagram updates and they always looked like they were loving the freedom of running around in the fields. One of our dogs is older and the girls were really conscious of this. I can highly recommend this for a lovely homely place to leave your loved ones… !

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.

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

I had been following Mack at Goodboy Dog Training on Instagram for a while. Mack shares really useful tips and it was very clear he wants to help owners help their dogs. I travel over an hour to see Mack and it's really worth it. He has been helping me with my rescue boxer who I have had for a year. Hutch is 7 years old and reactive to dogs. Hutch adores Mack and really enjoys training!! Mack has given me the tools and confidence to train Hutch. Each day I can see progress and I know I can message Mack for any advice in between sessions. I would highly recommend Mack as a dog trainer!
If you’re struggling with basic obedience, reactivity or even just building a bond with your dog, Mack from Good Boy Dog Training is seriously one of the best in Ireland. He is super knowledgeable and focuses on what’s best for your dog in a manner where the dog actually enjoys listening to you and enjoys his job! I have a working line GSD who is super intelligent and high drive. I’ve had her with past trainers who have made her feel insecure and unsure. Mack has changed the game for us and made me realise it’s never too late to grab a leash and some snacks and start training your dog! Could not recommend this trainer enough!
Mack is extremely knowledgeable and supportive. He gave me great guidance on how to work with Rua to improve our relationship and obedience. I can’t recommend him enough! It’s clear Mack is passionate about helping people understand their dogs better.
While the commitment to training your dog rests with the owner, Mack is the person who will guide you with ease through the stages. He makes things simple and is very reassuring. His group classes are very well put together. Thanks for your time spent with Tyson, Mack. 🐕 …
We got in touch with Mack when our Golden Retriever puppy was getting a bit difficult to walk. He was so great at explaining things to us that I have passed his name onto countless puppy owners that I meet. He teaches owners common sense!
Mack is an absolute fantastic dog trainer. He will treat each dog as an individual and adjust the training to suit each dog. He cares so much about them and it really shows. He really helped me with my dog Harley, and we still continue our training with Mack through the pack walks and group classes. He will always check in on you to see how things are going, and give advice when needed. I couldn’t recommend him enough! 🐶
Mack at Goodboy Dog training is honestly the best dog trainer I have ever met! He’s completely changed our lives as he’s taught us how to bring our dog from an extremely nervous puppy to a confident, happy dog! He really cares about the dogs he trains and goes above and beyond to help. He’s extremely knowledgable and is always learning and sharing tips so you can be confident knowing you can always take your dog to the next level with Mack.
I booked a session with Mack as my partner and I are getting a puppy. Mack was very informative and gave us many valuable tips about helping our puppy settle into our home, which put our minds at ease. He also debunked a lot of misconceptions that surround crating and training. I would recommend Mack to anyone thinking about getting a puppy or dog who needs some extra guidance. My partner and I feel much more confident about getting our puppy now! Thanks so much, Mack!
Bringing my dog reactive German shepherd to Mack was the best decision I could have made for her and me. The tools and tricks he provided have transformed my walks with Nyra, they are now so much calmer and we can now both enjoy them. Mack is so knowledgeable and is always on hand to answer any questions. The group classes have also been fantastic, as they provide a Controlled environment to bring your dog. I would highly recommend Mack to anyone looking to get their dog trained as he is a great dog trainer and a great guy!
If you're wondering what to do with a reactive dog, poor recall or any annoying habits like leash pulling seriously don't hesitate, just get in touch with Mack at Goodboy Dog Training. I wish I'd reached out to him sooner, because it has helped my confidence with training our dog so much and she's learnt so quickly because the concepts are clearer for me now. His indoor facility for one to one sessions is also really cool, it's nice to be able to relax without outside distractions and focus on the training. We continue to work with Mack and I can't recommend him enough for his knowledge, manner and being a great teacher.
