Cat Sitting in Shannon Forest

If you are lucky enough to get Chris and Geoff to request a house sit, say yes quickly! We went overseas for a whole month and left our dog... who is nothing short of my animal bestie. They walked her every day(twice!) and stayed near her for large chunks of the day... and they also did magic on the garden -- keeping our newly planted trees alive and our garden thriving. Within the first few days of their house sit, we had some exchanges on text that showed me how wonderful Chris and Geoff would be-- making themselves at home in our neighborhood and with Lucy. I was able to enjoy my holiday even more because our dog and home were deeply cared for. Lucy's behaviour when we returned was noticeably settled. She had not gained weight or becoming clingy like she has in past when I left her. I think she misses them. :-) Thank you, Chris and Geoff!

Jinnie took great care of our cat Suki and they became firm friends during her stay. Jinnie was communicative and organised prior to the visit which helped. She was friendly and we had some lovely chats when we returned home.

Robin was as wonderful as all the other reviews have covered. She was very communicative and worked very hard to make sure our sulky dog ate, which we really appreciated. Both our dog and our cat immediately warmed to her and decided she was a friend, which I think is always a great judge of character!

Juliet was absolutely great! Somehow I entered the dates for our sot wrong and she was so helpful with working it out so we could have coverage even though it was TOTALLY my mistake. We have a couple animals with medical conditions that need daily medication and monitoring and she took great care of them. She took our big dog on a couple hikes while we were gone and I honestly think he may have been a bit disappointed to see us! She’s a great communicator and kept us well updated. Thanks Juliet!!

Having Deb here was an absolute delight. She showed up with toys and treats for my cat, Boy. He was instantly enamored. She sent me amazing updates and pictures every day, which put me so at ease because I knew Boy was having a great time while I was away. She even got him some more treats to try while she was here. When I got back, my apartment looked exactly how I left it and Deb even washed all the sheets and put them back on the bed for me. Boy was relaxed and happy. I couldn’t recommend a sitter more and I’d be overjoyed to have her back anytime.

Audra and Chris both sat for our kitties, and they were fantastic, among the best sitters we have had. Audra was our primary contact and she is a highly effective communicator and has great attention to detail. She sent wonderful updates with pictures every day which we really appreciated. The kitties clearly loved them and got a lot of attention and were very content upon our return. The house looked exactly how we left it. They clearly followed our guide to the letter as every aspect of house and cat care was followed to a T. I could not recommend them more highly.

From the moment we spoke with Graham & Jordan, we had complete confidence that our home and most importantly, our pets would be in good hands. They are a lovely couple and are so good with animals. I'm pretty sure our dog wanted to leave with them! We didn't ask for regular updates, but they sent us photos and kept in touch. Rather mortifyingly, our tap in the kitchen decided it would be a good time to spring a leak, and Graham was in touch immediately to let us know and help us troubleshoot remotely. The house was immaculate on our return. We would heartily recommend Graham & Jordan and would welcome them back if they wanted to explore more of Irelands wild west in the future.

Fiona took excellent care of all four of our animals. She sent us pictures regularly and was communicative with us both before the sit and throughout the week that she house sat for us. The house was very clean when we got back and all the animals were happy. I highly recommend Fiona.

Ciara says she specializes in longer Sits, and this one was almost two months. She is a cat guru and took good care of Emmylou — who was glad to see me when I got home, but was not obviously stressed by my absence. Ciara is systematic, self contained, and self sufficient. For instance she solved her own WiFi issues without needlessly involving me. I supplied cleaning services every two weeks. I was happy with the job that Ciara did for me and Emmylou.

Erica was an absolute pleasure! She was incredibly attentive and sent updates and photos of Disco throughout they day. She left my place clean and better than I found it and Disco was acting normal and calm when I returned…a sign of a great sitter! This was my first sitter through Trust House Sitters and I put up the listing on short notice and am so glad I chose Erica :)
