What Do You Get For The Price?

When you’re comparing pet sitting or dog walking prices, it’s tempting to simply look for the cheapest price.

But you’re also deciding who you’re trusting with your pets & access to your home.

Before choosing a pet care provider, we’d recommend asking:

  • Are they fully insured?
  • Who will have access to your home?
  • How do you know they’ve actually completed the visit?
  • Will you receive updates?
  • What happens if your regular sitter suddenly becomes unavailable?
  • Is there anyone available to help if something goes wrong?

With Pet Sitters Ireland, you’re not simply paying someone to pop in & feed your pet.

Your service includes:

Fully Insured Professional Pet Care

You’re booking through an established pet care company that’s been caring for pets since 2010.

GPS-Tracked Visits

Our technology helps us track visits so there’s additional accountability around your pet’s care.

Updates & Photos

You’ll receive updates so you can see how your pets are getting on while you’re away.

Back-Up Support

If your regular Pet Care Assistant unexpectedly becomes unavailable, you aren’t simply left trying to find someone else at the last minute.

A Team Behind Your Booking

You’re not relying solely on an individual. There’s an established company supporting your service.

Those are already some of the key benefits included in your current pricing proposition. Pasted text

Is Professional Pet Sitting Worth The Cost?

For many pet owners, the biggest benefit isn’t simply having someone feed their pets.

It’s peace of mind.

Your pets can stay in familiar surroundings, maintain their normal routine & receive individual care while you’re away.

And you can enjoy your trip knowing someone is checking on your pets & home and keeping you updated.

I’ve been using this pet sitting service since April, after Sid had an unfortunate experience at a daycare service I had previously been using. After that, I was quite sceptical about leaving him with strangers and was very nervous about finding someone I could trust. From the very beginning, Mike put my mind at ease and reassured me that Sid would be very well looked after while I’m in the office. And since then, I can honestly say I’ve only had good things to say! My pet sitter is always on time, and most importantly, Sid absolutely loves her. She always makes sure to walk him, give him water and treats, play with him and give him plenty of attention. It’s such a relief knowing that he’s happy and well cared for while I’m at work. Whenever I need a last-minute walk, Mike is always incredibly helpful and makes sure everything is taken care of. The service has been reliable, caring and reassuring, which means a lot after my previous experience. Thank you so much to Mike and the team for taking such good care of Sid during the week. I really appreciate everything you do! 🐾❤️

I am so impressed with this service. Practically speaking, the functionality to manage and update the schedule, and the flexibility to add or change services is streamlined and easy to use. I always know that someone will be there, and it is such peace of mind. Beyond that, the people are amazing. Special recognition to Elizabeth who is stellar and has taken such good care of our dog. I cannot reccommend this company enough.

If it was possible to give 10 stars ⭐️ to Takita and Mike, I would have no hesitation! Pet Sitters have looked after my dog for the past year, a year that required many changes in schedule due to the extended hot weather, as my dog is a bulldog, and couldn’t tolerate midday and afternoon sun, all of which were accommodated with no issue, and my dog got daily fresh air and interaction whilst I was out at work. I never have to worry about my dog or his care while I am at work as I know he is always well cared for from the daily description of his pet visit and accompanying photographs I receive at work. A special thank you to Takita, for her care and attention to Benny, and securing my home everyday post visit.

We have been using the services of pet sitters Ireland since early 2024 for regular sits and in that time have moved house 2 times. Mike and his team have never missed a beat. We have 3 dogs and 3 cats which is a lot, but 2.5 years have shown us that Petsitters Ireland are well able for all of your pets needs no matter how many are under your care. Our regular pet sitter Danielle has been a wonderful influence in the care of our pets for months now. We would be lost without her. Recently we went away for 4 days and we were so worried about leaving our pets after a bad experience a few years back. We didn’t need to worry at all. Mike sent us an amazing live in sitter Caitlyn who looked after all 6 of our pets and we came home to a contented and peaceful house. We had a meet and greet with Caitlyn beforehand which was great as we could explain everything to her beforehand to ensure that the stay went as well as possible for all. Our furry friends are family members to a lot of us, and I would without hesitation recommend Mike and Petsitters Ireland to manage their care when you can’t.

Ger is a fabulous pet sitter. She has looked after my two dogs on several occasions the past few years and is incredible with them. She goes above and beyond and they love her. Her communication is great and she puts me at ease when I'm not in town, I feel my dogs are very safe with her. Would highly recommend Ger!

Ger is amazing and my cats love her. She has been our catsitter for the last 5+ years. Ger goes above and beyond to make sure my cats are happy and healthy. Pet Sitters Ireland is probably not the cheapest company, but the peace of mind is invaluable.

Ger is my dog Walker and I can honestly say I couldn’t possibly have found a nicer, more caring person to take care of my furry babies. I trust her completely with my animals and home which is so important when using organisations like this. 🥰

We received twice daily updates on Zoe, each one with photos and videos that showed her completely relaxed and comfortable at home. Ger took fantastic care of her, and it was clear she trusted her from the start. There was a heatwave while we were away, and we even got updates on the house temperature so we knew Zoe was staying cool and content. Ger went above and beyond by watering our hanging baskets during the hot spell, meaning we didn’t return to a garden full of shriveled plants. Overall, we’re genuinely delighted with the service from Pet Sitters Ireland. They treat your pet as if they were their own, and the peace of mind they provide is absolutely priceless.

Ger from Pet Sitters Ireland has minded our dogs on multiple occasions over the last 4 years and we have had an amazing experience every time. They are always so well looked after and they absolutely adore her. It’s so nice going away knowing they are being well cared for by someone who we know genuinely cares about them. Especially now with an older dog, the peace of mind knowing that our dog is getting her medication etc is fantastic. Highly recommend

We could not believe our luck when we got Ger as our petsitter, initially for our wedding, Ger looked after our golden retriever Izzy in our home with exceptional kindness and care, she is a a natural with animals and you can tell she really loves her job. She is professional, trustworthy and a safe pair of hands to care for any pet, down to the small important details like food treats and how your pet likes things. Izzy absolutely runs to the door for cuddles when she hears her coming to take her for a walk and we love getting the updates and photos – we couldn't recommend Ger enough :)

We have been using this dog-walking service for over 7 years, and I genuinely cannot recommend them highly enough. From the very beginning, Geraldine has been the most generous, caring and wonderful adoptive dog mum to all of our dogs. You can see how much she truly loves and cares for every dog in her care, and that gives you such incredible peace of mind. When our beloved dog became sick and we reached his final days, Geraldine went above and beyond in caring for him and supporting us through such an incredibly difficult time. She even gave us thoughtful gifts to help us through the pain of losing him, something we will never forget. Kathryn now looks after our two girls, Phoebe & Mabel, and we couldn't be happier. The care, attention and love they receive is second to none. The service is absolutely incredible, and after more than 7 years, I can honestly say that I never have to worry when my dogs are in their care. Knowing they are safe, happy and so loved is priceless. 5 stars simply don't feel like enough. 🐾❤️

I had to go into hospital with only a day’s notice and was in an awful state because of my two little dogs. Charlie was 16 and needed very special care and Peggy, my three year old had never been in a kennels. My daughter spent two hours on her phone searching for somewhere and then saw here. The dogs were collected very quickly and I couldn’t believe my luck with Mike. Every day I could see how they were. I felt that they were on holidays and loving it. Mike not only took care of them but of me also by sending me some lovely links and interesting stuff on what I was going through in hospital. Whilst the price seemed high what Mike did for my dogs was priceless. Breda McCormack Sandymount

Our sitter did a wonderful job this weekend with our two cats. She sent photos and updates ,both cats warmed to her very well and she gave them lots of care and attention. She also stayed late last night as our flight was delayed to ensure there was a smooth change over. Fred and George loved their new best friend. Thanks again

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.

This was our first time leaving our cats with someone other than friends or family, so we were quite nervous about how it would go. We have a teenage cat who we recently adopted, as well as an older cat with quite a strong personality and a history of stress-related urinary blockage, so she needs a little extra care and a gentle approach. I have to say, we are absolutely delighted with the experience. The initial communication was quick and clear, and we received all the important information about how everything would work, which made us feel much more comfortable. Kathryn, our pet sitter, was absolutely wonderful. She managed to find a way to connect with both of our cats, and from everything we could tell, they were very comfortable and happy while we were away for 10 days. She followed all the instructions and took care of everything we had asked her to, and she sent us regular updates throughout the stay, which was especially reassuring. At the end, she also gave us some really helpful feedback on things to keep an eye on and a couple of valuable tips based on what she noticed while looking after them. We are very happy with the whole experience! Thank you so much, we will definitely be using your services again!

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.

Sindy recently cared for my two cats and I would recommend her services very highly. I found the cats to be very happy and content when I got back home. Sindy is a very thorough and dependable pet sitter and I hope she will come to mind my cats again. Mary D. Knocklyon Dublin 16.

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.

Pet sitters Ireland accommodated my last minute request and matched me with Diana. I have a really nervous greyhound and she was really patient with her. She kept in regular contact which really put my mind at ease. Would thoroughly recommend this service.

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 🐾💖
