Pet Sitting in Abercastle

We were so lucky to have Blair & Julie back again to sit for us. Always happy to leave our dog and house in their very capable hands. House was looked after perfectly, clean and tidy on our return and Dougie the dog was looking very happy too. I can't recommend them more highly.

Sally and Geoff's second sit for us of the summer and because they know us, our house and (most importantly) our dogs so well now it felt rather like welcoming them home. They seem to have a few favourite places in Richmond now so we were treated to photos of Maximus and Enzo out and about, enjoying life, being treated like little princes and (almost) forgetting that we even exist. For us, the peace of mind is priceless and we couldn't recommend Sally and Geoff more highly. So thanks to them again for looking after our boys so well - and also for the clean house and lovely quiche - and we'll hopefully catch up another time in the not too distant future.

Caroline and Phil were a delight to have to care for our animals and home. They are very considerate, tidy and communicative and we were able to go away with complete confidence. They are lovely company and we'd love them to come again!

My wife and I were fortunate to have Róisín as our most recent pet sitter for our three indoor/outdoor cats. Her communication was excellent. She sent daily updates with photos and sometimes with funny stories. She gave them lots of attention. She kept an up to date food log which helped us all determine what they were eating and when. She was sensitive to our request to no more than 6 hours away from the house at any one time. The house was neat and clean when we returned. We would welcome Róisín back to care for our cats anytime. She was one of the best pet sitters we’ve ever had, so you can trust her with your pets.

From the moment we met Sheila and Gareth we knew that our 2 cocker spaniels, Josh and Oscar, would be in capable hands and we left the next morning for our holiday knowing that we didn’t have to worry about them. Sheila kept us up to date with details and photographs of walks and quiet time ( dogs snuggled up with Gareth on sofas or beds ! ). When we returned home, our house was spotless, Gareth had mowed the back lawn and Sheila had cooked food for us. Would not hesitate in recommending Sheila and Gareth for future dog sits.

I had a positive experience with Sinead as my cat Mia's pet-sitter for a 6-day period. Sinead approached her role with great responsibility and was helpful throughout. She brought a friend along, as we agreed, making me feel assured that Mia would have the attention she needed. Sinead's flexibility was evident when she arrived a day before the pet-sitting began. This allowed her to familiarize herself with the flat, and more importantly, get acquainted with Mia. I appreciated this extra effort, especially as I had an early morning train to catch the next day. The initial nights proved challenging as Mia was hesitant around a new person. Despite the unusual meowing during the first 2-3 nights, Sinead persevered and eventually succeeded in winning over Mia's trust. It was heartening to know that she cared enough to make the extra effort, and it paid off as Mia became more comfortable and content. Upon my return, I found a happy and normal cat, a testament to Sinead's dedication. Additionally, the cleanliness of my home was maintained, reflecting her thoroughness in both pet care and housekeeping. Overall, I highly recommend Sinead as a pet-sitter for her commitment, flexibility, and genuine care for the well-being of my beloved cat Mia.

Lisa was brilliant, very easy to communicate, very caring with the cats and our home. She left the house beautifully clean and the cats were clearly relaxed happy around her. We’d love to invite her back.

Heather and Tom returned to our house in order, this time, to look after just Rory. It was lovely to see them again and to catch up a little. Rory was immediately chatty and completely at ease in their presence. I like to think he recognised their sensitive and gentle ways, knowing he was safe and would be much loved and entertained. I too felt totally happy and reassured that Heather and Tom would instinctively know how to handle Rory and allow him to bond in his own time. Indeed, within the hour before I left, he was playing and wallowing in their attention and affection. When I returned 48 hours later (they had left a short time before) he was utterly settled and contented. Heather and Tom are superb sitters. They made a very long and tedious journey to help me out and suffered the inevitable traffic hold-ups that typify a hot Bank Holiday drive. Everything was immaculate when I got back. They had taken on the job of watering my plant pots as well as taking care of domestic tasks so I had a lazy evening. I recommend them highly as house and pet sitters and hope they will be able to manage other oportunities to come my way!

Ruth and Paul are return sitters and are always welcome as they are so reliable, kind and caring. The dogs love them so much and were so excited to see them again. Ruth and Paul follow all our rules and look after everything so well - the house is clean and tidy and they go above and beyond in their care of the animals, the garden and the house. Thanks so much guys - you make our holidays a relaxing experience and we are very grateful xx

Kathryn is the perfect cat companion. Both took to her in minutes and looked surprised to see me home so soon! She looked after the flat as her own. It was so welcoming and spotless. I cannot recommend her more highly. Thank you Kathryn
