Dog Sitting in Portnoo

Kerry E'lyn, Colm and their family were wonderful! They took great care of our pets and our home. They were very tolerant of our cat Mittens, who seemed to be going through a phase of confused toilet habits.....really sorry about that lads! 🤦‍♀️ They left our home in perfect order, and a delicious cake in the frideg-what a welcome home! Thank you!!

Sean and Columbia were wonderful, reliable, calm, thoughtful and respectful housesitters. They were super organised and relaxed and took such great care of Bessie and Scrabble. We had lots of communication from them during our trip away reassuring us that our dogs were being well cared for. Our home was equally well looked after and we arrived home to everything in great order. Thank you Columbia and Sean.

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!

Michaela is warm and friendly. She was so good with the animals, they had a great time with her and I came home to happy dogs hens and cats. Michaela was great at staying in touch, sending regular updates and photos Our house is still under going renovations and Michaela was great when workmen arrived unexpectedly one day. Happily recommend Michaela as a sitter.

Patricia was a great house and pet sitter. She sent us photos of our pets hanging out, the dog got to her grooming appointments, and got to visit with the dogs of some of our friends; the cats seemed happy and relaxed. We will be happy to have her sit again.

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!

Layla is very obviously a lover of dogs.Our two labradors could not have been happier with Layla's loving attention .Layla took responsibility for them while we were on a six day break. We could see Layla has a very special connection with animals and is very knowledgeable. We would be happy to have Layla back any time. Thank you Layla Aoife and family

Niall is a top class housesitter and we are so grateful he was our sitter with Blarney for the month away we had this summer. From first meeting it was very clear that Niall was committed to understanding Blarneys needs and to appreciate Blarney’s character so he could be the best companion and carer for him. That kind of attentiveness and awareness is such a gift! It brought us huge comfort while we were away. Niall’s communication was excellent throughout and was great at foreseeing any issues or questions about Blarney’s needs and the house. Blarney experienced a bit of a stomach flu while we were away and Niall was very responsive to the subtle signals Blarney was giving. He rang the vet we bring Blarney to discuss his symptoms and was very willing to take Blarney should he need it. Thankfully he recovered without a trip to the vet in large part due to Niall being so caring and giving Blarney extra attention while unwell. Niall also brought Blarney out on many social excursions to local cafes where he met many people who knew Blarney and that was very fun for all involved as it introduced Niall to our friends here and Blarney got to see his regular pals too. The house was in great shape for our return and the fridge clean and empty which is much appreciated! Our sincerest gratitude to Niall for minding our beloved Blarney so brilliantly and compassionately. We would highly recommend Niall as a housesitter if you are lucky to be considering him for a sit! Looking forward to our paths crossing again in the near future.

Mary and Kieron met and bonded with Bruce a week before the sit and I could see from their interaction with him that he was in safe hands. Kieron went above and beyond the call of duty when Bruce unexpectedly escaped from the garden (for the first time) and went out of his way to find the hole in the fence and spoke to my next door neighbor. I would highly recommend Mary and Kieron as house sitters.

Dee and John ARE THE ABSOLUTE BEST!🤗 The communication with Dee was easy and direct, we got a lot of daily updates which we really appreciated. Our cat Fynn got the best care while we were away. 🐈 Our apartment was left spotless, and Dee even put fresh bedsheets on our bed so that we wouldn’t have to do that in the evening of our return, so so sweet.😊 Dee also took care of our plants and greenhouse which was just amazing! 🌱 We will definitely invite them back and we recommend everyone to do so too! 😊 Thank you again for everything 💜
