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.

Responsible & caring house sitter, animal lover & globetrotter! Europe 2023-24
Jocelyn was a blessing ! and is one of the most wonderful human beings I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. She was so friendly and open, competent, friendly, respectful, clean and tidy. She kept in touch, and sent regular updates and pictures. Her demeanour was so calm and confident, our pony and cats took to her straight away, and were treated with affection and kindness and I’m sure will miss her now !We wish her well in her future adventures and would not hesitate to recommend her and hopefully she will return to Ireland next year!

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!"

Biden sat for us for the second time and was great. We heard from her everyday, cats were so happy and taken care of and the place was clean when we got back. She was flexible with our dates and sent lovely pictures of the boys. We hope she comes back to visit. Thanks so much, Aideen!

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.

Kind and reliable twin sisters, Australian, love animals and travel!
Sara was a perfect house and pet sitter. My dog Ellie was very happy with her and totally relaxed when I returned home. Sara sent me pictures and updates how everything was going which was very reassuring. My apartment was well looked after and cared for. I would have no problem in recommending Sara to look after your pet.

On a way to discover Ireland and other places in our world.
Marco did the second half of a split pet sit for me and Lily. We were able to meet on a couple of occasions before the sit and he met the first sitter also. This was really helpful and I hope helped make a good transition for sitters and Lily. He is a lovely guy and I would recommend him and lily would live to have him sit here again!

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.
I am struggling with naming our top adjective to describe Michael and Jeanne. "Conscientious" will likely be it but then again, "personable," "reliable," "organised," and "animal-loving" are top contenders. If you are reading this review and contemplating inviting this couple to watch your pets, then look no further. We have had a number of excellent house sitters but this pair was next level in terms of the love they showed our cats, Maxx and Nala. When we came back, we could our animals already missed them. These cats, who have never slept with anyone other than us, were getting in bed with them each night -- and that meant climbing stairs! The day before our trip, Nala got an ear infection and had to be put on steroids for asthma. Michael and Jeanne did not sign up for that when the sit was booked but they took it in stride. In the last-minute rush, I relayed that Nala needed her oral steroids morning and night. Michael read the RX label, indicating one dose a day, and contacted the vet to clarify. So you can see why "conscientious" is right up there. They saved Nala from an overdose! We were gone three weeks and they sent us just the right amount of pictures and videos. They bought cat toys (I forgot to put ours out!) and actively engaged with them, including 20-minute massages for Maxx. I truly believed them when they said they fell in love with our fur babies. The house was spotless (which was not important to me but truly appreciated) but I smiled when all six water stations in our yard were filled. They took seriously my love for and the needs of the wildlife in our yard. Our plants were all in good condition as well. Sensing they were "next level" when I met them, I predicted they would want to leave a meal for us upon our return. I asked them not to but they found another way to bow out with class. They made a donation to a nonprofit I work with instead. This I learned from the lovely thank you note they left. I hope they will consider Charles and I friends because we certainly feel that way about them now. What special people. If you book them, treat them well because they are going to do that for you for sure.
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!!!
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!
Amanda is truly our trusted sitter "find"! She comes back regularly, so much so that our kitties think she is their secondary owner! Always reliable, clean, responsible and most of all loves our cats as much as we do! Good communicator, self reliant - all in all a perfect "10"!
Catherine was wonderful! She took care of my cat and house while I was out of town and left and Jack the Cat very and calm and the house in perfect shape which I so appreciate. I could return home and attend to other things rather than cleaning house. I would recommend her as a sitter to anyone. She was easy to communicate with, provided updates and pics of Jack, willing to jump in and assist me as I left or returned. She has a sweet and warm personality and enjoys what she does with house sitting. Thank you Catherine!
Toby and Chloe were one of the best house sitters we have ever had! As a small animal vet I have seen many types of pet sitters and these guys are top notch. Our pets are not easy either. We have special needs dogs, cats on medication, dogs with behavioral issues, horses, chickens, goats and a large (100 lb) Sulcata tortoise who needed close monitoring of the temperature in his barn. Everyone was thriving and happy when we came home. They read through the packet and asked thorough, thoughtful questions. They went above and beyond grooming, mucking and grazing the horses and goats everyday. They chopped greens and fruit daily for our tortoise. If we had known how amazing they were we would have booked a 3 week trip instead! Can't recommend them enough.
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!
Karen was an extraordinary house and pet sitter who I hope to invite back again soon. You would be extremely fortunate to have her take care of your pets and home. From the very beginning she radiated calmness, knowledge, caring and curiosity. We had a great initial conversation where Karen answered questions I didn't even know I should be asking, and asked excellent questions so she could be prepared and understand the special needs for both my cat and home. She flew into my city the day before I was leaving and stayed at a nearby hostel so that we could meet in person and do a walk through of my home. They say pets have an intuitive nature about people, and I knew Karen would be a winner when my normally very shy/nervous cat came right up and let her pet him. Karen sent wonderful pictures and updates while I was gone and asked questions when she wasn't sure about something. When I returned home everything was spotless and my cat was content. Overall, I couldn't have asked for a better house sitter experience. Thank you Karen!
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!
Kristine was wonderful again as our local sitter from just down the street. The boys take to her like she is their best friend whenever she comes to sit with them. She sent us photos of them playing, relaxing, drinking water and eating so we knew they were well taken care of. The house and the cats were in excellent shape and excellent hands while we were away. It is wonderful that she enjoys the house and the cats so much and tells us so. Kristine comes with our highest recommendation! Thank you Kristine!
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!
Meow Care is just fabulous! From the first point of contact with Alice to the actual minding of my 2 Devon Rex cats they were fantastic. Andrea came every day and knew exactly how to handle our reserved cats…the photos and videos were fantastic and I got to see how my 2 girls went from not wanting to engage on day one to getting better and better with Andrea each day (it didn’t take long, day 2 they were coming up and being more open to knowing her which is a testament to her knowledge of cats and I could tell they missed her when I came home). I couldn’t be happier with the service and with the absolutely fantastic care Meow Care and Andrea gave.
I would like to share the experience that my partner and me had with Maow Care and strongly not recommend using this service if you really want a trustworthy person or service to take care if your cat. We went on vacation and hired the service and got assigned our cat sitter, everything looked normal at the beginning. Right after we landed the plane, we had the first message from our sitter saying that we had an alarm beeping on our house. We were concerned as the sitter told us that we could have neighbors upset by the noise, so we asked her about it and got any response. I am from Spain and my partner parents live on Cork and other trusted contacts we have didn’t have the keys of the apartment. We left emergency contacts for our sitter that she didn’t use, we tried to arrange some or our contacts on the city to check the alarm noise with the cat sitter and she didn’t response as well. We got any notice until next day after more of 24 hours, when she said she was going late to visit our cat, which was after 9PM, which is also a weird time to visit a cat. We tried to call the sitter to have more information about the alarm noise and to try to help her to find the issue and fix it, but she didn’t response the call or gave us any information. As a consequence, we had to book a flight back as we were very worried about our cat and the neighbors. Next day, my partner messaged the sitter to ask her to let the keys on the table because we were comming back at evening. She responded that basically, our cat didn’t look affected by the noise and seemed to be OK. After we came back to our apartment, we found out that was a lie. Our cat vomited and defecated out of her litter, thing that she never has done before, she looked thiner, extremely tired and a bit sick, we assumed it was consequence of the noise. We discovered that the alarm had an issue that was causing a constant high frequency beep every 10 seconds. We had to cancel our holidays, lost a lot of money and on top of that, we were told our cat was Ok when she clearly was not, for a problem that could have been fixed very easily in 10 seconds, the time it took us to de-attach the alarm and move the back switch to “off” I encourage that if other people has had similar problems with Maow Care, please speak out and also give diffusion of our case. We had pictures of conversations and situation when we came back and we’ll study taking more actions as the solution they gave us was, the incredible opportunity the enjoy their “great” services for free, we couldn’t even had our money back from this terrible experience that I wouldn’t recommend to even my worst enemy. #maowcare #cathealth #catsittingservice #catsitter #ireland #dublin
Alice is very knowledgeable and very dedicated to cats. She can also help with any cat behaviour questions. Her cat sitting service in Dublin has been there for a long time and only gets busier.
Highly recommended Maow Care. Alice was so accommodating for us and made everything stress free for us and our cat. Our cat (who is quite nervous and anxious) loved our cat sitter and provided updates to us each day and made her feel so comfortable. Would happily recommend to anyone looking for a sitter.
Very happy with the service. Amazing contact with Alice and our cat sitter, I really liked the daily Whatsapp updates. I felt that people working at Maow Care are passionate about cats and know how to take care of them.
Maow care offers a wonderful service that makes it possible for our cats to stay at home when we go away. We know that we are leaving our pets in the best hands as Alice and her team have all the logistics (key-hand over, feeding schedule, emergency contacts, etc) carefully worked out, they keep in touch regularly, and most important of all, are real cat-lovers themselves. And with two cats, the price is lower than what a cattery would charge.
Maow Care provides an exceptional service. Alice is a cat whisperer and she brings the very highest standards of professionalism, knowledge, generosity, and sincere care to all that she does. She is continually researching and learning, and passes this learning on to her clients formally through her excellent courses, and also informally through advice and support. We will always be grateful that we found Alice and Maow Care.
Truly professional service from start to finish. Alice is an amazing resource for all things feline. Caring and pragmatic, she runs other cat focused programs, Pet first aid Courses and the Dublin Cat Fair. Always 100% reliable and trustworthy.
I've trusted Alice and Janette from Maowcare with minding our cats for over 3 yrs now (having had a bad experience with a well meaning but inexperienced neighbour before that) I can relax knowing they're professionally looked after by people who love and understand cats. They play with them, make sure litter is all clean, feed as per instructions and I get a daily whatsapp update with lots of great pics! (they even water our plants!) They're the best, trusted professionals. I'd be lost without them 😻
Trustworthy, reliable, dependable cat sitter who is very serious about the service she provides. Willing to go the extra mile. Flexible and always able to accommodate any special requests I may have. Doesn't only feed and water the cat, but always plays and interacts with your furry friend while you are away, because good cat care is more than just food.
First time here and was very happy with the service from initial phone enquiry through to experience when arrived. Bella loved it too so a win win! (One star deducted because the trim around her eyes was a little uneven and the staff member we met wasn't wearing a face mask)
Pleasantly surprised by this new place I found . Very very pleasant lady called Natasha. Wonderful attention to detail. Reasonable price too as I had two very scruffy dogs that came into my life recently to be groomed. I would not hesitate to recommend Natasha who I believe is from Brazil ( hope I spelled your name correctly). Hope to be back in 3 months. Thank you. Catherine
So disappointed with this service. Left my pup up there today and the girl actually said to me when I dropped her in 'she's only a pup she looks so nervous' told me it would be 2 and a half hours. 3 and a half hours later I still hadn't heard anything and drove up to find she was just sitting in a cage all day and hadn't been touched because other dogs came in that were more difficult. So I took her home she was stressed and crying the whole way home. A phone call to let me know they were running late if I wanted to collect her and bring her up another day would be fair enough. But instead the poor dog was left in a cage all day stressed out. It would take two minutes to call me and see if I wanted to reschedule. Disgraceful. I would never use this service again. I beleive there are new owners in recent years. And i couldn't recommend their service anymore
Rachel and her husband looked after my Charlie like if he was their own dog. Huge space for him to be comfortable. Came back very happy. Highly recommended but you need to book well in advance.
Really disappointed. I’ve sent my dog here for years and he passed away recently. Brought my 5 month pup over today for the first groom. He went in at 1pm and wasn’t ready for collection until 4pm. When I collected him, first the wrong dog was brought out, then my own puppy. No feedback from groomer whatsoever charged €45 - his ears are still dirty, his nails wasn’t cut and he didn’t get a haircut as he is an English bulldog and does not require one. So I paid €45 for a wash and to keep him there for that length of time. I then got home and received a message saying my dog is ready for collection?? Unfortunately I won’t be returning after all those years!
Absolutley delighted with service received from David, he is so kind and caring and it shows he loves his job. booked next appointment b4 leaving 5*
All round excellent value for money. Very professional staff and will be back.
Very good, can recommend. They done my two dogs, a German shep and parson terrier, both looked and smelled lovely after
great professionals
David is amazing, the owner always makes mistakes with the bookings but can't fault david
Mandy is the only person I would trust to mind my dog Mylo. She is the absolute best, we are blessed to have her to take care of our little fur baby!! Mylo has the best time everytime he goes to Mandy. We only have to say her name and his tail starts wagging with excitement. Couldn't recommend her more highly 💜 …
Loki cannot be happier every time he goes to Mandy! As he’s a corgi, our concern is that he is not with bigger dogs that could step and hurt him! But Mandy is always making sure all dogs are safe at all times… not to mention how much Loki loves Harry and Lauren, Mandy’s kids. He’s always so spoiled there! Wouldn’t trust anyone else!
Oh my god where to start I can’t express how happy and grateful I am to have found Mandy for my 3 fur babies. As you can imagine 3 is a lot to handle and I was finding it so difficult to find anyone who would take on all 3 🙈 But not a bother to Mandy! From the moment I meet Mandy, Lauren and Harry it has been the best experience. Mandy is so accommodating and so good and patient with all of the dogs. It can be nerve recking leaving your babies with someone but I never worry at all when they are with Mandy and I love all the daily update pics of them playing with their pals and the dogo birthday parties are just the sweetest thing 🥰 If you are looking for a daycare for your fur babies Mandy is 100% the best there is!
I have been bringing my dog to Mandy's Fairy Tails for two years now. Mandy is absolutely fantastic and my dog loves it there. When we pull up outside she gets so excited to see Mandy and her doggie pals. Dogs are so well looked after and happy. Mandy, Lauren and Harry love dogs and you can clearly see that. I would highly recommend Mandy's Fairy Tails.
Our rescue Chihuahua Elly loves spending time at Mandy’s. With the attentive care she’s received, Elly has become a confident, friendly well socialised little dog. She gets her play time and rest time as needed to make sure she’s in top form. Would highly recommend Mandy’s Fairy Tails Doggy Daycare!
We got our dog a year and a half ago and were always unsure how to manage her when we were away - leave her with friends and have them put out? Put her in big kennels? That question was answered as soon as we brought her to Mandy's Fairy Tails Doggie Day Care. Fifi loves it here, knows when we are coming and bounds out of the car to go to the front door when we arrive. It's very personal, not too big, all the dogs I have seen here always look happy and Fifi has enjoyed her days and her overnight stays. We can't recommend it highly enough.
Within a few minutes of meeting Mandy with her warm welcome into her home, I knew she was who I wanted to leave Ted with. It’s obvious she treats him like her own, and he’s the happiest ball of energy going into her house every week. He’s walked, fed, socialised with family and dogs and it’s such peace of mind that I know he is so content and safe. Laura.
Mandy is fantastic with our puppy Molly and Molly gets so excited going in to see her friends each day. We didn’t think anyone would take a puppy so young (after all her injections) but it wasn’t a problem for Mandy. I really think it has helped with Molly’s training and she’s a confident little doggie. We love getting the daily updates and I couldn’t recommend Mandy highly enough😁
Mandy is the absolute best. My dog runs to the door when I say we are going to Mandy's. He is so happy and so well cared for. You couldn't ask for a kinder person to look after your dog. I would highly recommend.
We cant recommend Mandy’s Fairy Tails highly enough. Our dog loves his holidays with Mandy. She is just the loveliest person & treats Sam like one of the family. We never have to think twice about leaving him with Mandy as we know he will be so well looked after. A wonderful person who provides an excellent service. Sinéad & Paul
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
