Dog Sitting in Listowel

Levi was so great. He visited Kalu and I the day before I left on my trip. I showed him the basics and then Levi suggested he take Kalu for a walk so he would be more relaxed in the transition. Levi is thoughtful and was very attentive to my pup. I knew immediately he was in good hands. While sitting, Levi sent me daily photos and videos of kalu and even worked on leash pulling. All around the perfect sitter. We hope he comes back for another stay.

I don’t know how Amy could have been more accommodating to us and nice to Molly. She is a superstar and we have already invited her back to sit for us in January in Orlando! Amy is thoughtful, insightful, intelligent, caring, and very attentive to Molly. I think that Molly was very disappointed when we came home having been treated so well for so long by Amy. Molly is a west highland terrier and we were away for 10 days. we have tons of experience with TH, having had over 20 sitters for us, and Amy is one of the wonderful sitters that we have had. She made us a meal when we came home, she sent us pictures on a daily basis, she clearly asked About Molly‘s care and meaningful ways before we left and gave all of her attention to her. We had the pleasure of meeting her mom, Betty who is a hoot and would be welcome in any house! Our house with spotless when we came home. Everything we asked of Amy she did for us and we so appreciated her loving care for Molly. thank you so much to Amy and we will always remember the wonderful care that you gave to our Molly. If you ever have a chance to ask Amy to come for a sit, you should jump at the chance. Friends for life!!

Cynthia and Darren went above and beyond! They were so sweet to my little Paloma and sent lots of photos and videos and updates. They even bought me flowers and left drawings of Paloma for me to come home to. The house was spotless as well. Couldn't have asked for more communicative and helpful sitters. They are welcome back here anytime!

Selina & Marco are excellent cat sitters but also really great people. This is their second cat sit for us and our cats were immediately happy to see them again. They really got to know the different personalities, habits and preferences of our two cats. They showed them lots of affection & care- taking them outside for daily walks in our yard, lots of brushing & petting as well as giving our IBD cat his daily medication. We again felt completely at ease knowing they were being so well cared for while we were away. Thank-you Selina & Marco, we’re truly appreciative!

This was Michael's second sit with my cats, and I have nothing but good things to say about him. He's compassionate, tidy and really great with my cats, including some particularly timid strays. Also, Michael had to complete a handover with another sitter during this sit and with his help the whole process went very smoothly. Of course, once again, I would gladly invite him to house sit anytime! Thanks, Michael!

We were truly fortunate to have met both Nisa and Rand. They both arrived the evening before our trip, and we truly enjoyed our visit with them!! They are both very personable, responsible, educated and fun-loving. They asked us if their daughter could come visit and we happily said yes, so they were able to have some family time here as well, which made us happy.  Also, they were kind enough to offer a trip to the airport and they accommodated us with our plans. While we were on our trip, we were sent photos of our cat and we had great communication with Nisa when there were questions or concerns about anything. They took incredible care of our cat, and when we returned home, our home was immaculate with bed linens washed and beds re-made, towels washed, floors, cleaned, house dusted and nothing was out of place. They left us a sweet card, thanking us for the use of our home, and if we ever had the opportunity to have them sit for us again, we would do so, in a heartbeat!!!! They truly are lovely people!! we highly highly recommend them as house sitters!!Thank you again, Nisa and Randall. We truly hope our paths will cross again. 

From the outset I was very confident that Mary & Ian were ideal sitters to cope with the nuances of my furry family of 3 ! As . We had chatted several times on Whatssap, and both had had cats as pets over many years, and a wealth of life experience living with cats!! As soon as they arrived Mary & Ian set about familiarising themselves with the apartment layout and then observing the foibles of Mau, Kitty& Toots., including the litter tray routine ( lol)….Marrying my outline Guide to the “real deal”, and I believe they, like my cats themselves , were not at all daunted at the prospect of being surrogate trusted “fur parents” for a week . All 3 furs vied for attention, and Kitty, although quite nervy,, took to sitting on Mary’s lap at every available opportunity …with Mau & Toots competing for attention… and their daily groomings too!!!, when they returned from their daily sojourn , exploring the area., they had the energy to care for and be entertained by the furs! Mary’s excellent forward planning ensured that they gave time to the furs on a morning before setting off…and again on an evening , Ensuring that the cats’ routine, especially feeding times ,was not disrupted and as all parties enjoyed waking fairly early?.? (lol) Mary & Ian had time to explore and enjoy visiting several highly recommended tourist attractions, they had researched. Ian was a gem and offered to sort out finishing laying down approx 400 kilos of Wood chip and off cuts based “soil” along the side of my drive, AND remove Garden garbage to the recycle area , down the road. So the outside was very tidy & orderly, on my return . Mary watered my pot plants on the calçada , AND Enjoyed fresh lemons & picking physalis berries( Chinese gooseberries) . All my flowering plants , young tomatoes , beetroot n onions were thriving on my return. Thank you so much for taking such good care of Kitty , Mau & Toots, my garden and my home. Everywhere was clean and tidy and in good order when I returned. The cats simply adored Mary , and the regular photo updates sent to me by Mary endorsed the fact that I had not been missed!! It was truly lovely to have you stay and look after M,K,T and get to know you a little. The “5 Star” rating for every aspect of their stay reflects Mary & Ian’s commitment to be genuine “zeewoi”, and importantly ensure that Mau, Kitty & Toots…. Were safe and cared for , during my absence…….. they simply Never missed me!! We all really enjoyed your company …Thank you sooooo very much. If you are ever blown off course in your world wide adventures and land in Portugal again….please look us up!,,,…you’ll always be Welcome.

Dan did an excellent job caring for our house and our doggies. We had an early flight on our day of departure, so Dan came the night before to meet us and allow us to introduce him to the dogs. When we returned home, our house was tidy and our dogs were clearly well cared for. We were glad our dogs were in good hands.

We invited Betty-Anne for our sit in early April, 2024, as she had sat for us two years ago and we had a great experience with her. Betty-Anne has become a friend as we enjoy sharing travel stories during the visit and house orientation the afternoon before our departure. Betty-Anne provided us with regular updates on our 4 cats and we returned home to a clean house and a lovely container of homemade soup which was very much appreciated after our week away. We highly recommend Betty-Anne and would love to have her back any time to care for our cats and home.

Ted & Barb once again were excellent sitters for us. They went over and above the call of duty and everything went very smoothly.
