Annie sat for our cat, Tuna, over a long weekend. She was extremely kind and self-sufficient. When we arrived home, Tuna was relaxed and happy and our apartment was as clean and tidy as we had left it. Annie would be welcome to sit for us again any time, we'd highly recommend her.
I could not have asked for a better first experience with zeewoi! Jordan and Nataki were great at communicating from the very start, and they sent me pictures and updates every day. I didn’t have to worry for a moment that my cat Anya was feeling lonely because I could tell she warmed up right away, even though she’s usually quite shy! They also went above and beyond making sure my apartment was tidy for when I got home. So grateful and would definitely be honored for them to sit for me again any time!
Francesco has been taking care of my furry babies and my place while I'm away for well over a year now, and I couldn't appreciate him more. He is a joy to communicate with, and the most reliable person one could hope for. Being able to count on him while I'm traveling makes a world of difference, because I know I don't need to worry about anything while I'm away. Benny and Zumba love him and are very well taken care of. I know because I come home to two very relaxed and happy kitties. I am super grateful to have found Francesco!
Hannah and Joseph were so kind, so communicative, and clean! Kevin seemed so happy in all the photos they sent. Not only did they wash my sheets and towels they used (without my requesting it, simply out of the kindness of their hearts), they ALSO then put my fresh sheets on the bed! 🥹❤️ Such incredible sitters. 10 stars!
Misti was wonderful! She was able to come by before I left town to meet my dog, Grace, which I really appreciated. She sent daily pics or videos and made sure that Grace got tons of snuggle time, which is a major requirement to keep my dog happy :) Cats and skateboards are evil enemies to Grace and it sounds like Misti experienced both and handled it flawlessly! Misti was a great communicator, left everything tidy for me when I got home and Grace was super mellow and relaxed, which tells me she got all the care she needed while I was gone. I highly recommend Misti - I'll definitely be asking her to sit again!
Lilly and Thomas stayed at our house and cared for our dogs for a month. I think they took the dogs to the beach nearly every day. Seeing pictures of our dogs on the beach made our time away from them feel so much better. Our house was immaculate when we returned, and we felt so fortunate to have such kind and loving people step in for us in our absence. Anyone would be super lucky to have them in their home.
Gwynn was wonderful! She was super communicative, flexible to come to our house beforehand to get oriented, and attentive to details. She connected with our pup, Scout, immediately and we felt so assured that he would be well cared for with her. We hope Gwynn can come stay again another time!
I was thrilled to have Courtenay as our sitter. We had a few last minute changes and she was very accommodating. She is a very pleasant, well spoken person who bonded very quickly with our dog, Pepe. We were in Europe and Courtenay keep us we’ll informed via internet, pictures and all. We came home to a clean house, a happy pet and a delicious pie she left for us in the refrigerator. You would be very pleased to have her as your sitter. Lucy Hottle
Wendy was great, she kept us updated on the dogs and all the fun she had hiking with them on the mountain. I returned home to a very tidy house. My dogs just loved her. I will definitely have Wendy sit for me again and would be very lucky to have her do a sit for you.
Julian and Susan were amazing, we came home to happy healthy creatures and a clean, tidy home and yard. They communicated with us during our vacation, both about anything unusual and just to let us know when things were going well (as they were the majority of the time). They are very adaptable and capable people, I highly recommend them for your home and pet needs.

Erica watched my senior dog and cat for 12 days while I was traveling internationally. She was organized, responsive, and took excellent care of both my animals and my apartment while I was away. She sent me photos during the stay and my pets absolutely adored her. She has watched my pets before and I always trust her to take excellent care of them. Traveling internationally and leaving my pets in the care of a sitter always makes me a little nervous, since I won't always be immediately reachable. However, Erica's communication and obvious competency made me feel very comfortable about leaving my pets in her care while I was away. It's very obvious she adores spending time with the pets and caring for them. I came home to a clean apartment and very happy and healthy pets. I would highly recommend Erica for any of your sits!
Denise was by far the best pet sitter we have ever had! She watched our two pups while we were gone for 3 weeks and took amazing care of our dogs and home. She took the time to ask questions and make sure she understood each dog’s needs as well as how to take the best care of our house before we left. She sent videos everyday updating us on how the pups were doing. We were so happy to see how much quality time she was spending with them and how much they loved her. Our dogs were so sad to see her leave and we can’t wait to have her back. Denise made sure that the house was in perfect condition when she left and treated our home as if it were her own. If you are looking for a pet sitter, look no further. Highly recommend Denise!
Brian was a wonderful sitter for our 11 year old dog and also took great care of our home. He sent me pictures every day and let me know how Macklin was doing which always helps ease my mind. Our home was clean and tidy when we returned and everything in its place. I'd recommend Brian to anyone looking for excellent care by a friendly person!
Robyn was a great pet sitter and house sitter. She went way over and beyond my expectations!!!! She sent a photo of her and my dogs and they were looking at her like they were in love. And my cats are not very friendly, but she won them over also. I would highly recommend Robyn as a pet sitter and house sitter. She is a very sweet lady. I would love to have her watch my babies again and again.
Cindy is an absolutely fantastic sitter and we feel very lucky to have had her care for our dog and our home whilst we went on our family holiday. Her communication before and throughout our sit was fantastic, and she even took our dog to the vet when he needed an unexpected checkup. She took great care of him and sent daily updates including videos and photos of their time together. We could tell that he felt very relaxed in her company. Thank you so much Cindy - it is a real godsend to have someone so kind and caring to take care of your pets and home and we would be delighted to have Cindy back again in future.
They took very good care of my pets which involved feeding cats twice daily, fish once or twice a day and filling up fountain for birds. Animals were healthy and happy when I returned. Nothing was lost or broken, and Diane even found a lost grinder part that had fallen into the cats food while I was using it. They are a pleasant couple. They were invited from Wednesday to Sunday. They arrived on Monday so had 3 days instead of one to learn the pets routine. They also informed me that they wouldn't be leaving until Monday morning, but that worked out well since I was mistaken about the end date of my cruise and couldn't get home until Monday. Everything was left neat, but I had minor housekeeping to do (clean sink, fingerprints off glass table, sweep floor). They are older than stated on the profile, which they said only allows 65 as a top age. 68 and 73. Bruce has health problems that requires he sleeps sitting up in a chair that has a leg lift, which luckily I had, so he slept in my living room. They are fine caring for cats, but my friend with a dog decided to find another sitter rather than leave him with them (she was going to pay) because they seem somewhat frail.
First things first, Linda is awesome! If she applies for one of your sits, you have to accept! This was our first time using zeewoi and is also the first time we have left our dog since we got him. Obviously, we were nervous at the beginning, but Linda removed all aspects of that. She is honestly one of the nicest, kindest, most polite people you will meet. From our first initial meeting, we knew that she was the sitter for us, and for Archie. The day that we left, Archie let out a little cry as we said goodbye. This was the first time he had done this (it broke our heart), but we knew he was in great hands! Throughout the week, Linda was extremely communicative. She would send us daily updates, share videos of their walks together, and send pictures of the two of them having fun. She spoiled Archie with love, attention, and a couple of new toys! When we returned, the house was in the exact same condition as we had left it, and was very clean and tidy. When Linda left, Archie ran to the door, started to cry, and sat/laid there for some time - And we think that this alone is a great reflection of the kind of person that Linda is. Linda – It was an absolute pleasure to host you in our home, thank you for everything that you did for us and Archie, and for making our first experience a positive and memorable one. Archie misses you! We hope you get the chance to do it again for us in the future.
Lisa was a terrific sitter for our sweet Rosie. She arrived the evening before the sit, and we immediately could tell how much love and attention Rosie was to get. She provided updates and pictures which we were delighted to read, and we could tell Rosie was happy and well-cared for with Lisa on their walks and fetching sessions, on their car rides, and during Rosie’s many daily naps. Lisa left the house in great condition, she’s very tidy and clean. Lisa’s experience with dogs and her friendly, sweet personality makes her an excellent sitter taking good care of animals while also being easy to communicate with. I would recommend her and would gladly invite her back.
The two-leggeds and four-legged members of this household give Tess a 5-star rating! We think she's one of the best sitters you will find - highly communicative, friendly, competent, reliable, and great with pets. Tess was also flexible about start and end dates to accomodate possible winter weather complications. For this sit, Tess was able to bring along her mom, Cathy. Tess introduced me to Cathy during one of our Skype conversations prior to the sit. It was a bonus to have her here with Tess. Their travel to Marquette was complicated by weather. A fierce winter storm swept across Michigan just before the sit. It took Tess and Cathy two days to drive here but they arrived, as promised, in time for us to fly out early the next morning. We even had time for a lovely dinner together and to introduce them to the dogs and house. We left the next day and never had a moment's worry while Tess and Cathy were caring for our pets and home. Tess sent us regular updates and photos. The dogs immediately accepted them as great new additions to their pack of friends - even our cranky, old chihuahua, Nike! We returned to happy pets and a spotlessly clean home. We plan to invite Tess (and Cathy if available) to return for future sits. Thank you, Tess and Cathy!
Melissa and Chris are amazing. We are very picky about our dog sitters, and we chose them because they have been doing this for a long time and track your wants and needs carefully and follow through with utmost care and integrity. They offered to come the day before we left to meet Winnie so that we could rest in that she would trust them and connect to them. Honestly, we would hire them as our only dog sitter all of the time if we could. I cannot thank them enough and say enough good things about them. They also took very good care of our house and plants.

Alison has provided reliable care for our birds for the last 10 years. She is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about birds and always takes on board any special requirements regarding medication or specific needs. We can always rest easy when we are away while Alison takes care of our birds. 🙂 …
Alison is a real gem find 💎 💎 She cared for my Girls (Hens) like her own. And she looked after a sick one with tender care and looove… I highly recommend her… Thanks sooo sooo much Alison🌹🌹❤️❤️ …
Matt and Fiona were fantastic. This was the first time we had stayed away from our 3 month old puppy Benson so I was very nervous but he was absolutely in Safe hands. Matt and Fiona sent me pictures of Benson having a fantastic time, he had his own room with a crate (which they provided) and in the morning took him to the beach which he loves. When we need somewhere for Benson again in the future we will definitely contact Paws in safe hands. It is like a home from home and much more relaxing than putting him in kennels. Highly recommend!
This is the first time I've used Paws in Safe Hands and would definitely recommend them. Matt and Fiona were very caring and my 2 dogs obviously settled in well. They were in the house with their own dogs and treated as part of the family! I wish Matt and Fiona the very best in their new venture . Sheila Beattie
Fabulous home from home for my pet Jack. He loved every moment there playing with all the other dogs and enjoying the beach walks and play with Matt too. Safe enclosed environment to keep your pet inside and outside the house. Jack just loves it there and feels very safe under Matt and Fiona's supervision ❤
I couldn't have survived these past few months without Matt and Fiona.. I suffered two strokes and without even thinking, they collected my three dogs daily to take for long beach walks. My three wait (not patiently) for Matts limo to arrive and transport them to the beach. One of my dogs was funny around men, but absolutely loves Matt. They are treated like one of the family and you only have to mention their name and they run to the window.. testament to how much they are loved and treated.. can't recommend them highly enough. Young dogs or old ones, all respected and well looked after and great for socialisation when walking with other dogs.
A big thankyou to Matt and Fiona , mums dog Cody just loves getting out for his walks . The service they provide is 5 star. His paws are definitely in safe hands amazing people they treat Cody as a member of their own family, I can’t recommend them enough. Big thankyou from Cody too xx
The best place for the best hounds.
Top service!
I can't speak highly enough of the staff at Country Canines Luxury Boarding! We recently left our two dogs with them for just under a fortnight while we were away on holidays. Having never left them for such a long time, we were quite nervous about it. However, the daily photos and updates from the Country Canines helped to reassure us that they were being well looked after and having a great time! The staff went above and beyond before and during their stay to make sure they got the best care possible! Thanks again for your attentiveness - we'll definitely use you again in future!
My boys love going here! Well kept and secure. Girls have always been very nice and friendly if we've had any questions x
Can’t thank you enough for Armin’s first time overnight. We were recommended from another dog owners. Although this is more like a 5 star resort rather than kennels! He was treated like a king and we were so grateful for the photo updates 😍 It was more than worth the trip from Bangor and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to our family & friends. Armin can’t wait to come back 🐶🐾
Brilliant facilities, fantastic staff.
Excellent service. The girls are all so good with the dogs. Also very friendly and welcoming! Highly recommended
4 paws doggy daycare has been great for our wee Hercules he loves going every week and the property is very well laid out and they have loads of different areas for activities. Hercules favourite is the built in swimming pool. The owner Irene is brilliant to speak to about any animal issues and was able to advise and reassure us when our elderly cat was ill last year. I always recommend 4 paws to anyone I would meet in the street. The overnight service is a great help a home away from home.
Amazing place, my dog loves it, comes home exhausted from the interaction with other dogs and playing around the fantastic play areas Irene has created. Irene is the ultimate dog whisperer, knowledgeable and full of encouragement for a new dog mum like me. Assisted by Kelly the two ladies are always welcoming their furry friends come rain or snow. Thank you both for the wonderful work you do.
We are so thankful that Ellie our Golden Retriever has (what she would consider) a second home. We are able to head to work with peace of mind that she is not only well looked after but gets to socialise and play all day. She comes home exhausted. We also appreciate 4 paws having an over night service where Ellie has all of her home comforts in a familiar place. We can drop her off and relax knowing she is cared for just like at home, and of course having a great time.
Irene is the most amazing person who loves all the dogs she looks after. She cares for each dogs individual needs. It’s home from home for my wee lady. She runs to Irene and Tryra every time she goes on her “holidays”. She’s so happy when she’s there. I feel totally reassured she is in the best hands when she’s with Irene. The best doggy day care for us.
I have never met anyone with a better understanding of a dogs needs than Irene. My dog is very timid, but in just one hour I could see the change in her. I saw the other dogs all interested, calm, friendly, mental and physical interaction. The dogs all shapes and sizes were obviously very happy and enjoying their daycare at 4Paws.
Irene is the most amazing lady. All dogs love her. My dogs have been going since 4 Paws started which is a long time ago. The excitement knowing they are going to Irene starts first thing in the morning. I don't have to say anything. Quite often an excitement poo is done before we leave home or going into 4 Paws. There are lots of activities for the dogs and Irene is always thinking up new ideas/ changes. The dogs dress up for Halloween, Christmas etc and get their photos taken. I don't know how Irene does it but group photos always have all dogs looking at the camera. Irene just speaks and all dogs listen. 4 Paws is great for socialising your dogs. Irene is definitely my dogs other mum. I know the dogs are safe and well cared for. I would highly recommend 4 Paws, you won't be disappointed, give Irene a call. It will be the best decision you ever make for your dog.
Our experience of doggy daycare has been absolutely fantastic. Irene is very knowledgeable and genuinely passionate about meeting our dogs’ needs, ensuring they are happy and well cared for. We drop our ‘girls’ off (totally excited and tails wagging!), confident that they will be safe and having fun until we pick them up again. Would recommend - 5⭐️ service! 🐶🐶
I would highly recommend. My wee dog has been going here for over 9 years. A very well run doggy daycare and home from home for doggy boarding. My dog just loves Irene and her assistant. Every dog is treated so well sometimes they are reluctant to leave as they have so much fun. Irene understands dogs and each dog is treated a though they were her own.
Irene goes above and beyond for all dogs in her care, my pup has a great time and can’t wait to go in! Be prepared for fancy dress days 🐾🦇 …
A wonderful business run by the most caring and knowlegable owner 'Auntie' Irene McFaul. I wouldnt dream of going anywhere else.
Alpha 1 Dog Hotel are extremely professional and passionate about dogs, they are the only people we trust with our Buzz while we are away. He really enjoys going there as he gets lots of attention and cuddles with good exercise. We can recommend them and give them 5 stars.
My mum's dog loves it here. She's always excited to go in for her 'holidays'.
Ian and Claire are brilliant with the dogs. The kennels are spotless Heidi just loves the VIP kennels.
Rosie had a wee trial half day at kennels where she will board for 2 nights during Rachel's wedding. Owners said she was well behaved (SHOCK) She came out for collection with that happy mouth open tongue panting look on her face saw us and ran straight back in again to the kennel owner. Obviously enjoyed it. She had the VIP suite with sofa and TV. So we're really happy and content to leave her with such lovely people in a 5 star kennel. Now she's knackered they took her for 3 walks between 9am and 4:30pm.
Ian and all the staff at Alpha 1 dog hotel clearly take great pride in making all their guests welcome and spoilt. Highly recommend this brilliant facility. I wouldn't leave my dog anywhere else. Thanks guys.
Left our 2 dogs with Ian & Clair for 3wks, Alpha 1 Dog Hotel is our to go place great service both dogs very happy, highly recommend this establishment.
Best place ever! Owners are lovely couple...true dog lovers and they make a point of getting to know your loved pet. They treat each dog individually, and look after them like they are their own. Personally, I wouldn't want to leave my dog anywhere else. I know he will be happy.
Ian and Claire are fantastic. We have always trusted them to look after our late big boy Skye and our latest addition Juno. They have helped us so much over the years and given us great advice. The service they provide is exceptional and I highly recommend them.
Home from home for both Maxx & Jaxx, so easy to leave the boys as they couldn't be in better hands.
Truly professional family run business. Spotlessly clean kennels of the highest quality. Ian and Claire looked after our dogs impeccably, including all their medical needs. Thanks so much.
Strone Farm Kennels and Cattery is hands down the best place to house your fluffy friends when you are on holidays. I have been taking my cat and dog here for over 15 years and I am extremely satisfied with the service provided. Karen and all the staff are absolutely amazing and will treat your animals as if they where their own. The premises has underfloor heating, is immaculately clean and very spacious. All the animals are fed with the best food possible and are exercised regularly. I wouldn’t trust anyone else to look after my fur babies and to top it all of it is very reasonably priced.
Left our cat here with Karen and her team. Lovely homely atmosphere. Cattery very peaceful. Staff very friendly. She was very contented and well looked after. Will definitely use again.
Karen and all her staff at these kennels are just wonderful! We moved to the area last year and were anxious about using new kennels for our dog, however Karen put us at ease and our dog loves his holidays there! No matter when we leave him Karen always keeps me updated on how he is doing ... Wouldn't use anywhere else!
I cannot highly recommend Strone Farm Kennels enough. I have been taking my dog here for several years. The quality of care is of the highest level coupled with excellent standards of accommodation and exercise.
Very good as it was short notice to get our dog booked in. Lovely staff, very understanding and patient. Recommend these kennels. Will be using these kennels again
Fantastic establishment. It was our small dog's first kennel experience and although she would be with our other dog we were a bit worried. We shouldn't have. They both cam out very happy and we have no qualms about them going in again. We'll done to the team.
My cat, Fiyero was well looked after during his stay here. I was very impressed with the whole layout dropping him off for his 10 night stay and Fiyero was so chilled when I picked him up. 10 out of 10!
This was my 3rd time leaving my 2 dogs at Strone Farm Kennels and I would not use any other kennels again Karen and her staff have a great way with the dogs they get their daily walks when I leave them there they are not nervous and when I collect them my dogs would jump up around karen ect which is a good sign I would highly recommend to anyone who are going on a holiday and looking for a kennal
Left our Koda in with Karen and the team for 8 nights. No issues at all and he's a very tired boy after his holidays. Thank you again
Highly recommended, our two dogs love this place, staff so friendly and caring for the dogs.
Really good doggy daycare & kennals
Highly recommend Dream Dogs to any dog owners. Yasmine walked my 2 cocker spaniels for a week while my husband was away on a trip and it was such a huge help! My dogs loved her, she was so good with both of them and sent me lovely photos of their adventures while they were out. I will definitely use this service again in the future 🥰 …
Yasmine is amazing at chaperoning doggos! Having our fur babies at our wedding was a must but also very nerve wracking! She knows dogs so well and has them very well behaved especially considering they are in a new place with so many people around! Would 110% recommend!
Yasmine has walked our dogs for 3 years now, the girls love her and picture updates when we are away of the dogs on their walk always make us feel better.
I had heard great things about Dream Dogs NI as I have countless friends who have had Yasmine walk their dogs, bring them to their wedding, or look after them at overnight stays. I contacted Dream Dogs NI on Instagram and booked in for our dogs to attend our wedding. Emily came round the week before and took our 2 pups for a walk to get to know them. One of our dogs is very spoiled and doesn’t like new people at all. Emily was great! Our two just loved her as she was calm and kind and had a really nice way with them. Emily then brought our dogs to our wedding so we could get some photos, this was one of my favourite parts of the day. The photos are fantastic and I will cherish them forever. Emily walked the dogs and let them out to pee and fed them before their bedtime. Emily even sent me photos throughout the day of our dogs, this was a lovely touch. Would recommend this service to anyone. Your fur babies could not be in better hands 🥰 thank you x
My hubby and I have just returned from honeymoon & Dream dogs NI looked after our wee Misty. We got daily pictures and gorgeous videos showing us all her adventures. On our return- a late flight, they had picked up some necessities for us, the house was immaculate & we had a very relaxed happy girl. Already planning our next trip! Thank you Dream Dogs xxx
Yasmine is very professional and helpful when it came to helping us finding last minute dog sitting for our puppy to allow us to go on our holiday, and Dream Dogs NI has been our go to ever since. Corrin has been an absolute dream to have looking after our puppy. It gives us alot of reassurance that Luna is being cared for by professionals who will love and treat your dog as their own. Corrin sent daily updates and photos of how Luna was getting on which was great to get. Corrin took the time before the holiday to meet us both in her home and for a walk to give both Luna and ourselves reassurance that she was going to be well cared for. It is safe to say Luna loves Corrin and has many successful stays since. Yasmine has a great team of Dog Aunties and I would recommend Dream dogs NI to any dog owner who needs their fur ball looked after for any events or holidays.
It was the first time I had left my dogs ( including a reactive dog and a wee oldie with arthritis, hearing and sight issues) so was concerned how it would go, but Dream Dogs NI made it so easy for both me and my pups. Dogs were so relaxed and happy which made it so much easier for me. Cannot recommend Dream Dogs and ‘Auntie Aine’ highly enough. In fact it was so stress free for the dogs and me I’ve booked my next trip!
Yasmine dog sat 4 dachshunds overnight with absolutely no issues. She regularly posted on social media (with our permission) to update us on her stay, as well as regular text updates. She was a dream to have in the house, it was as if she hadn’t even been there. Highly recommend and would use again.
Due to me working away a lot, I’ve had a number of the Dream Dogs ladies doing pet sitting at my house. I have 2 Labradors and a cat. I have always returned to extremely content animals and a very tidy home. This is a very professional and friendly service & I can’t recommend all the team enough. Dylan, Finn & Bruno can’t wait to see you all again x
