We recently used petsitters Ireland and we had a brilliant experience. It was the first time leaving our dog for a long period of time. All our worries were addressed and alleviated by Mick. We were kept up to date daily with pictures/diary of our dog which reassured us she was having a great old time for herself. We can't thank Mick & Kate enough for minding her and giving her excellent one to one care. We will definitely use their services in the future.

We can't thank Michael and Kate enough for the incredible care they gave our dog. From the very beginning, they followed every instruction perfectly and treated our dog as if he were their own. We had an unexpected family emergency, and Michael and Kate responded immediately with kindness, understanding, and flexibility. They kept us updated with regular messages and photos, which were so reassuring during such a difficult time. Knowing our dog was safe, happy, and so well cared for gave us one less thing to worry about and brought us real peace of mind when we needed it most. We are truly grateful for everything they did. Their compassion, reliability, and genuine love for animals shine through in everything they do. We highly recommend Michael and Kate and wouldn't hesitate to trust them with our dog again.

Me and my dog had a great experience with Mike and pet sitters. My really nervous resue dog was thrilled with him from the first time they met. She was totally chilled out when we came back from holiday, and our house and pants were perfect too. I'd highly recommend this pet minding service.

We have 2 dogs and used this service for the first time over a recent weekend after the boarding kennels we had used for years closed. Given our dogs ages (almost 11) we thought that getting them taken care of at home would be less stressful for them than finding a new kennel. Lina was our sitter and she was excellent. We could tell they were happy in the photos she sent in her reports, and when she came back to drop off the keys our dogs were so excited to see her, which was a great sign. It was definitely pricier than we would have paid for the kennels in the past, but the peace of mind we got from being able to let them stay in their own home and Lina's excellent service was worth it. We will definitely continue to use their services for future trips we have to take.

Am absolutely delighted with the service given by Mike and his team. Molly has been given 5 star treatment on all of her walks. Every day is filled with sniffs and adventures. Photos sent on each walk to show how she's doing. Would highly recommend.

When I moved to a new place, my little 10 year old Jack Russell developed separation anxiety. I was worried about leaving her alone, unsure if she’d accept someone new, and of course dogs can’t tell us how they feel. Pet Sitters Ireland have been wonderful. My pet stopped barking, became calmer, and now, after our morning walk, she calmly watches me leave because she knows someone kind and familiar will be coming over. I receive daily photos and a detailed report about how she’s doing, which gives me complete peace of mind. Seeing her wagging tail in those updates makes all the difference. I couldn’t recommend Pet Sitters Ireland highly enough. They’ve truly helped both me and my dog settle into this new chapter. Maya says thank you 🐾💖

We have been using Pet Sitters for a few weeks and we are all happy, including our dog. Reliable service, that is easy to schedule/amend/pay online. The peace of mind knowing someone will show up as scheduled, to take our girl out for a walk compared to previous service we have used, is great benefit. Edit: after months of using Pet Sitters Ireland we are more than happy with their service and could not recommend them enough..

I used Pet Sitters for my 2 dogs and cat. I was away for 2 weeks and was quite anxious about leaving them that long. I couldn’t recommend Petsitters enough. I got lots of pictures for each visit, and it really put my mind at ease and meant I could enjoy my trip. Gayle was minding them but unfortunately had an emergency but Mike stepped in and took care of them instead, without missing any visits. He also called me to let me know and assured me that they would be well taken care of. I will definitely be using them again and it’s so reassuring to know they’re there.

My dogs are my children and my entire world so believe me when I say I have never trusted anyone else with them. I took a chance on trusting Pet Sitters a few years ago and I've used them every week since. Not only is the service reliable, incredible and the ultimate peace of mind, the owner Mike goes above and beyond. Mike and his incredible team have always made sure my girls got the best possible care. I genuinely feel like I've found a company who love and care for my dogs as much as I do. They take the most amazing pictures which are emailed to me whilst I'm at work and they absolutely make my day. Once one of my dogs was unwell and Mike contacted me immediately to let me know they should see a vet after she got into something she shouldn't have that I accidentally left out. He waited with her a while to make sure she was okay and even tidied up the mess….in fact he has tidied up many messes from my pooches 🙈 Thank you so much to everyone at Pet Sitters Ireland for taking care of my angels and I will only be sticking with them for years to come. If you're like me and worried to leave your dog with somone, rest assured there is no one more capable, qualified and caring to trust 🐾🐾

I was nervous of the idea of using a Petsitter as we have typically relied on family previously. From the initial enquiry call from Mike, I was instantly relieved we had another option for our two dogs, one being reactive, kennels just isn’t an option. From the initial video call with our sitter, Chrissy, to get to know her, we knew our dogs were in really safe and capable hands. From the moment she walked in the door our dogs liked her. She took the time to ask about their habits and routines and what they liked. Sending photos and updates several times throughout the weekend where they looked lovely and relaxed. As a bonus our house was also looked after while we were gone. We couldn’t recommend this service enough and Chrissy for being brilliant! 100% recommend and will be using again, thank you for taking care of Scout and Pepper!

Pet Sitters Ireland is a remarkable service for households where every member is a working professional and also for general pet sitting during holidays. They provide a variety of services catering to one's specific needs. They have pet walker service where verified pet handlers come to your place to take your fur babies for walks. They also have pet sitting services to take care of them during your holidays which is far better than kennels and many pet sitters who host multiple pets in the same house. Mike is such a great and professional guy. He will give answers to all your doubts and questions and alleviate you of all your apprehensions. 100% recommended. Thank you so much again.

Amazing service! We had Valeria staying with our three dogs for just over a week and she treated them so well. They were really happy and relaxed when we came home after our trip. She communicated any concerns with us and sent us regular updates! We will be using this service again in the future. It's a great feeling knowing your pets are taken care of while you're not home.

I would highly recommend Pet Sitters Ireland to anyone looking for Pet Care. You can enjoy your holiday knowing your pets are happy and well looked after in their own home, i much prefer this option over boarding kennels. We have used Pet Sitters for a number of years, they give fantastic care and attention to our 2 cats and 2 dogs. Mike goes above and beyond to make sure they are cared for. And this year Aine did a great job looking after them all. My two girls love the photo updates received daily and get very excited to see how their pets are getting on while we are away.

My dachshund Danann took part in the Nose of Tralee 2024 as the Kildare Nose and it’s been the most fun experience! Kate from Pet Sitters is a pleasure to work with and sent us out some lovely treats and a beautiful sash for Danann to campaign in! We had so much fun making videos, taking pictures and writing up a blog for Danann during and in the run up to the final of the competition! Kate kept the excitement and going for all of the Noses from beginning to end of the process! We had so much craic and would definitely recommend that our dog/cat loving pals apply next year!

I used Pet Sitters Ireland for the first time last weekend and I can not recommend them enough. Firstly great communication from Mike regarding the arrangements for the pet sitters visit. I was away for 5 days and the pet sitter who minded my dog was amazing and it was very clear she has a great love of all animals which really put my mind at ease. I could really enjoy my holiday knowing my dog and my home where being well looked after. I got lots of lovely updates each day about how my dog was doing. I am delighted I found this company and will definitely use again in the future.

I use pet sitters to walk my two dogs during the day while out at work. They have been faultless in the 18 months I have been using them and always update promptly if there are any issues. Recently one of my dogs had suffered from diarrhoea and was prone to accidents in the house. On one occasion the walker arrived to find such an accident. They not only walked my dogs, but also cleaned up the mess and then phoned me to let me know it had happened. Needles to say I was delighted with this level of service and was very thankful that they see that as part of their service. I can't recommend them enough.

This is my first time using Petsitters Ireland, to look after Bailey for me. Geraldine has been walking Bailey only for a few weeks now, she has been a absolute god send, so reliable & fantastic with Bailey, daily up dates puts my mind at ease & I know Bailey enjoys her walk & has a great time. Totally professional service from first contact. By using this service gives me time to consentrate on my recovery, as poor Bailey was lost & kept looking to me to bring her for walks. I honestly don't know what I would have done if I hadn't use Pet Sitters, I would highly recommend them to any pet owner considering using such a service. Thank you Pet Sitters & Bailey says thank you as well.

Fantastic company..Very professional with an amazing personal touch which is very rare these days…our dogs are both rescues and one is very anxious and doesn't like being without us at all however we had to attend a funeral of a loved one and Mike talked us through the service that was personally designed for our dogs… Trish,our pet sitter is a star and treated our dogs so well while they were in her company…For us to leave our home and for our dogs to be looked after so well was really appreciated… Would highly recommend and would definitely use Pet Sitters Ireland again…

I am so happy to have found Pet Sitters Ireland. I can now go to work safe in the knowledge that my dog Charlie is being cared for so well by Shannon. I love that she sends me updates and pics of Charlie during their walks etc..Being able to leave Charlie in the safety of his home where he is happy and relaxed means everything to me as he is getting on in his years! Thank you Shannon and Pet Sitters Ireland…just wish I had found you years ago x

On the rare occasions we are away together for the day without the dogs, we never need to worry about them. One old and one young, their needs are different and AnneMarie takes great care of both.
