Dublin Pet Sitting Review: Kiki & Tabasco!

Professional and Personable. More than just an alternative to using kennels. My mind was at ease knowing that my dogs were being looked after in the comfort of their own home. I had extra peace of mind knowing that my house was being checked regularly.” “I will definately be using Pet Sitters Ireland again.”

Dublin Pet Sitting Review: Woody & Amber!

Brilliant Service that I cannot fault. I first discovered Pet Sitters Ireland at the Pet Expo last year in the RDS, I took the information for future viewing and then came the time when I was going on vacation and I contacted Pet Sitters Ireland about walking my two babies while I was away as I had nobody to walk them. Mike came to our house …to meet myself, Woody and Amber and when we met him he put us totally at ease. Woody and Amber loved him and I felt happy in the knowledge to go away and not have to worry about whether they were been walked, fed or were happy as I knew they were happy as Mike texted after each walk everyday to confirm that there was no problems. My mother was happy also because I wasn’t ringing her 3 times a day to find out how the dogs were, so to me it is money and a service worth its weight in gold. Its a truly excellent service and I would happily recommend Mike and Kate (Pet Sitters Ireland) to anybody.

Kildare Pet Sitting Review: Ruby & Sadie!

Thanks Pet Sitters Ireland for looking after our guys. Its great knowing a professional is looking after our pets especially when we are so far away from home. I know you gave our guys 100% and it showed. I have no doubt you will have a long list of very satisfied customers. Thanks again, looking forward to using Pet Sitters Ireland again. Your caring and professional attitude will carry your business a long way.

Carlow Pet Sitting Review: Jake, Smokie, Levi, Buttons, Cuddles, Bud, Lucy, and Harry

Thanks Mike for looking after Jake, Smokie, Levi, Buttons, Cuddles, Bud, Lucy, and better not forget Harry. I’m so glad I found someone I can trust with my animals and my home, and it’s relaxing to know the are well minded. I appreciate it and thanks for being available on short notice – they are looking forward to you walking them tomorrow.

Dublin Dog Walking Review: Jack

I was very happy with the service. I was very impressed that you created a new service to suit Jack’s needs and found the service very useful in breaking Jack’s day up when I am at work. Your staff were very consciencious and did not hesitate to contact me if they needed clarifications on what I wanted.

Dublin Dog Walking Review: Muffin!

I was looking for somebody to take my guide dog Muffin to the park for free runs and found Pet Sitters Ireland through an internet search. Muffin, my Collie x, has now been going for walks for nine months, with Petsitters Ireland. The features of the service that stand out for me are:

  • Communication: whenever I have needed to contact Pet Sitters Ireland, there has never been any problem contacting Mike directly- -if he is not available at the time I have always received a phone call or email in a timely manner.
  • The service has been 100 % reliable.
  • Muffin built up a bond very quickly both with Mike, who initially walked him and then Madeleine (Maddie), who has recently taken over his walks.
  • The cost is very reasonable.
The service is run by people who not only saw a gap in the market but who genuinely care and love animals.

Kildare Pet Sitting Review: Pup & Lady

I would highly recommend Mike and Pet Sitters Ireland. I was very impressed by the initial meet and greet and the attention to detail which was shown in line with my expectations. My pets did not have to endure the stress of being placed in kennels as they remained in their daily routine. The whole experience was very personable and professional and I look forward to using Pet Sitters service once again in the future.

Wicklow Pet Sitting Review: Terry, Lucky & Johnny

Hi everyone, This is just a quick note to say how much I enjoyed Mike and the Service of Pet Sitters Ireland over the last two weeks. I already liked this guy at the initial meet, and he blew away all concerns of my humans with professionality and personality. The last two weeks were great. The daily walks down to the lakes turned out to be the highlight of my day, and Mikes Texts to my humans directly afterwards made their day too knowing that everything was fine at home. Also my dear Guinea Friends Lucky and Johnny got fresh water and hay during the day – everyone was looked after highly professional. I (and so would my humans) can DEFINITELY recommend Mike and Pet Sitters Ireland to everyone out there with no hesitations whatsoever – I am already looking forward to mid August when this guy is knocking at our door again! Terry, most important family member in Blessington, Co. Wicklow. PS.: Mike, feel free to use that beautiful pic you took of me :)

Laois Pet Sitting Review: Maggie & Scamp

Just a quick note to thank your company for minding Maggie & Scamp last week. Gabrielle did a great job and the dogs were obviously very well looked after.

Waterford Pet Sitting Review: Tine, Rosie & Nell

When we came back from our weekend away and found all our doggie girls and the cats well and relaxed, the pet sitting service comes into its own. Particularly for our older girl this has been spot on, saving her the stress of moving and different environments. Thanks so much for a job well done and the professionalism that went with it! I have no hesitation recommending Pet Sitters Ireland to anybody who cares about their animals.

Galway Pet Sitting Review: Nicky, Roxanne & Mr. Tabby

We would just like to acknowledge the excellent service provided by Pet Sitters Ireland following the unexpected delay we encountered whilst returning from our recent holiday break. It was very reassuring to know that our pets were in safe hands whilst we were away. We would like to thank everyone at Pet Sitters Ireland for being so flexible and understanding and for being able to provide an excellent service at such short notice. Well done to all concerned. We would have no hesitation in recommending Pet Sitters Ireland to any pet owner who would be seeking a quality pet care provider which really provides excellent service. We look forward to engaging your service with all of our future holidays.

Dublin Pet Sitting Review

Hi Mike! Just want to say thanks a million for sending us Adrian to look after and walk our Spencer and Kim (dogs) while we were on holidays! We were really happy with your service and will definitely recommend you to others! Adrian is such a nice caring man! Thanks again!

Meath Cat Sitting Review

Hi Mike, Thank you very much for the professional service. Chloe did an excellent job and I was very happy with letting her take care of Brynja (cat). During the Meet & Greet, it was quite obvious that she enjoys her job and that she was very much suited to looking after pets while their owners are away. I never had to leave Brynja in the care of someone for such a long time, but Chloe was the ideal person for the job. Brynja was much more relaxed being in her own home and having someone trustworthy like Chloe look after her. There is no doubt at all that I would use your excellent service again when the need arises. Thank you for making such a long trip much easier to deal with, because I knew my cat and house were in safe hands. Thank you once again.

Newbridge Pet Sitting Testimonial

Hi Mike / Kate. Thank you guys so much for looking after the girls while we were away for 2 weeks. Couldn’t do it without you. What a fantastic service. Its fantastic to find someone you trust completely with your pets and home. I was initially a little worried going away with ruby (my gsd) requiring medication every day, but mike was fantastic, he had no problems whatsoever, apparently putting her tablets in a little cream cheese did the trick. Thanks again Mike, we really appreciate all your hard work. I would highly recommend Pet Sitters Ireland to anyone who does not want to put their pets through the stress of kennels. Looking forward to the next holiday and i hope you guys can oblige. Fantastic service.

Daily Quick Break Dog Walk

I can't speak highly enough of Mike & Petsitters Ireland! I have been using their services the past 3-4months since I got my puppy Watson & their quick-break service (20mins visit/walk) is perfect for our needs. Watson is now 6months old & plan to continue using them. All the petsitters from Petsitters Ireland we've met all seem to geuninely love animals & Watson's always happy to see them!! On two occasions when I was off sick from work with the flu - the petsitter visit was a godsend!! I would recommend them to anyone!!

Pet Sitting Review

Pet Sitters Ireland are extremely professional and caring. We use them on a regular basis and I am delighted with their service and the way they treat our two dogs, Gulliver and Fergus, as if they were their own! Thanks, everyone!

Letting us come home to happy cats !

Great, friendly service from inquiry to key return - came home to two happy, chilled out felines rather than cross stressed out ones when we had put them in a cattery. Will definitely use this service again! Keep up the good work guys :-)

Friends of Star

We cant recommend Pet Sitters Ireland enough, from our first meet and greet with Adrian to now almost a year and a half later with Andrew. We use petsitters ireland three times a week every week to walk our Goldie Star. They are more than just dog walkers but more like friends to us and Star. Mike and his staff are extremely punctual and reliable. Our minds are always at ease when we know Star will be getting a visit. Nothing is ever too much trouble and at short notice they are there to help out in any way possible. We have definitely found kind and great pet loving people to look after Star. Be lost without Petsitters Ireland. Thanks for all you do for us

Peace of mind

We cannot speak highly enough of this amazing "family" of animal lovers! It is so nice for us to know that Ernie is walked and so well taken care of whilst we are at work. The care that both Mike and Judith-Anne recently expressed when Ernie was sick with a tummy bug was amazing and so much appreciated! Ernie loves Chris, his current walker, to bits! If you are looking for a dog walking service - look no further! Thomas, Lisa and Ernie

Reliable

Pet Sitters Ireland have been looking after our 3 dogs Siofra, Shannon and Buster for a few years now when we go away on holidays and take long weekends away. Usually when we go on our annual holiday we have family members look after the dogs at weekends with Pet Sitters Ireland scheduled during the week. This year we realised how valuable and reliable Pet Sitters Ireland are when Mike and Andrew stepped in at short notice to look after our dogs when a family member was taken ill while we were away. I don't know what we would have done without them. Thanks Mike and Andrew

What Pet Owners Say About Pet Sitters Ireland

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! 🐾❤️
Response from the owner:Thank you so much Catarina 💕~Kate

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!

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.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much Paul for the lovely review. We will pass it on to Ger. ~Kate

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. 🐾❤️
Response from the owner:Thanks so much Geraldine for the great feedback. It's much appreciated. ~Kate

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

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.
Response from the owner:Thank you! It was our pleasure…she is a such a sweet dog 💕🐶 ~Kate

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!
Response from the owner:Thank you so much for the lovely feedback. We are so happy you were pleased with the service. 😻😻

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.
Response from the owner:Thank you so much. We loved having him..he's such a gorgeous dog 💕🐶 ~Kate

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.
Response from the owner:Thanks you so much for the lovely feedback. We look forward to seeing your dogs again soon. Regards, Kate

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 🐾💖
Response from the owner:Thank you so much Marlena. We are so happy to be able to help you both. 💕🐶 ~Kate
