Pet Sitting Kilkenny

About: I have lived and worked with animals all my life. Grew up with high energy dogs such as Irish red setters and springer spaniels. I have also worked with rehabilitating very shy and nervous dogs. Love training and keeping dogs entertained and relaxed from offering a range of toys and enrichment as well as long walks and swims if your dog enjoys. I am working as a community nurse Monday to Friday so will be available all weekends or evenings. I have two dogs of my own and your pet will fit in and be treated just like my own. I have a 6+ foot fenced garden and two very friendly dogs to keep your dogs entertained. Your dog will accompany me and my dogs on our weekend adventures.

About: I love cats and dogs! I always had pets growing up and they’ve all been loved members of the family 💖 I currently have a 1.5 year old terrier/ collie cross who loves having other furry friends around to play with! I work from home so your dog won't be lonely during the day and will be well-cared for and made to feel part of the family while they're here. I have a large, fenced-in back garden and lots of toys for the doggos to play with. We're centrally located in Kilkenny so easy for drop-offs and collections. Every morning I meet a group of doggie moms along the canal walk where the doggies get to run and play with their friends. I take Lola and whoever I’m minding out again to the park next door in the afternoon/ evening for another run and play. I have a large, fenced in garden and Lola is always delighted to have another furry friend to play with! I have a large and a small crate if your dog is used to being crated. Dogs are always on the lead when we’re leaving the house to get into the car.

About: Hello, my name is Samuel, I'm great with all animals and I connect with them on a profound level. I pay close attention to details and always prioritize the well-being of any animal in my care. They hold a special place in my heart, and I wholeheartedly devote myself to their happiness and comfort. Rest assured that I will provide the best care for your beloved pets. I genuinely cherish the time spent with them. They will receive the utmost love, attention, and nurturing they deserve. At this moment, I am available full time. I am available for last minute calls when needed, but would love to establish a customer base At this moment I'm unable to provide home sitting services. However if I am to pet sit in your home I am happy to provide references and to meet up beforehand to ease your mind

About: I have grown up with dogs! I mind friends, family and neighbours dogs regularly. I walk local dogs regularly. I also volunteer to transport rescues from the pound. I do this once or twice a month. Any time with a dog is a good time 💕 I’m currently working until 3pm every day during the week . I have most school holidays off so can be available at anytime during the holidays. Some weeks I can be a bit more flexible! I am available anytime at the weekends 😊 I am happy to mind dogs in their home. I can walk any dogs as long as they are ok on the lead! I’m happy give any medications necessary 😊 I love to play, cuddle and give lots of love💕

“A very big thank you to Martin for doing a great job! Martin was very dependable and concious and Toto was well looked after when I was away.”

“I really appreciated how she introduced herself to our cat. Very gentle until the cat approached her. We got very detailed daily reports, photos , and videos from every visit. The communication was excellent.”

About: I’m mad about dogs and all animals, I come from a farm and have been taking care of animals my whole life, from dogs to cats and cattle I have two dogs in my home house and also take care of my elderly neighbours dog. I bring them for walks and teach them simple tricks to keep them entertained Right now I’m renting in the town so I don’t have dogs in my current house but at home on the farm we have fences to keep the dogs safe

About: Not too keen on kennels? I offer a home from home environment in Callan, Co.Kilkenny, for your beloved dog to relax in the comfort of my home.


 I live in a detached house 15 minutes outside Kilkenny City with Oscar who’s a 16yr old Coton de Tulear. A few years ago we looked after a neighbours dog, my dogs enjoyed the company so we decided to make it a regular occurrence so here we are!! I work from home (Mon-Fri) so my mornings and evenings are free, I've decided to only offer dog boarding as that's what suits us best. It's nice to offer a home away from home to dog owners who’d like their loved one in a homely environment. I work from home (Mon-Fri) so my mornings and evenings are free so I've decided to only offer dog boarding. I get up about 7/8am, dogs are fed and then go for a 1hr+ walk around the Castle park. Upon returning home, they get a treat and settle into the office or a cosy spot around the house for the afternoon. The garden doors are open to come and go as they please. Quick evening walk around 6/7pm and generally lights out by 10/11pm. 
Guests have full access downstairs and to the living room in the evening to relax beside the fire for a more comforting environment. I find dogs settle in quickly when they initially arrive, Oscar is extremely laid back. It makes for a calm and peaceful experience especially if this is their first time away from home. It's nice to offer a home away from home to dog owners who’d like their loved one in a homely environment. Your dog will be in a homely environment, treated as part of our family whilst you're secure in the knowledge that your dog is being taken care of! I send daily updates of photos and videos for the duration of your beloved companions stay.

About: Loving, caring, and genuinely make all dogs feel like they are my own! Dogs are like family, I take pride in making sure that they will always be excited to see me. Training experience in the past. Love taking pictures, so you would always be updated as much as you’d like! I’ve decided to take time off work to be with my son, but absolutely love walking around the town! I genuinely enjoy taking care of dogs whether it’s walking them, letting them out, or visiting them just so they aren’t alone! I wanted to do something that thoroughly love and enjoy even if it’s rain or shine. Pets deserve to be inside, not outside unless it’s for the toilet, playing, and releasing energy! The furniture is part of the home, it’s ok for them to sit on it as well. Treats are given (if it’s allowed by the owner of course) play time is a necessity, and dogs who are great with little ones!

About: I grew up with big dogs — my dad loved Caucasian Shepherds. As an adult, I always wanted a dog, but working full-time made it tricky, so my partner and I got a cat instead. After we split up, the cat stayed with him, and I’ve been missing having an animal around ever since. Now I love taking care of my friends’ dogs when they go on holidays. Pet sitting and dog walking is a great way for me to spend time with animals and get to know different breeds. I believe every one is different, just like people. It’s all about being patient and finding that connection. I’m currently studying and free most of the day — feel free to share your preferred schedule, and I’ll do my best to fit in. I can play with, feed, clean up after, change litter boxes, and brush your pet’s fur. I’m happy to send you videos so you can see how they’re doing. If you’re busy, I can also take your pet to vet appointments. Most importantly, I’ll follow your instructions and make sure your pet is happy, comfortable, and well cared for.

About: My name is Grace, and I’ve always had a love for animals. I’ve been surrounded by pets since I was a child—everything from dogs, cats rabbits, horses and farm animals ( some rescues), I don't really have a preference. While I’ve always had animals in my life, I’m currently unable to commit to owning one full time due to work-related travel. That’s what makes pet sitting such a enjoyable opportunity for me.
I am reliable and caring and have a good understanding of how different personalities have different needs- whether they are full of energy and love to play or rather someone calm to keep them company. I understand how important it is for pets to get attention and feel as comfortable as possible while they're person is away. I work Monday to Friday but my schedule is relatively flexible and my mornings and evenings are open. I would love the excuse to get out and about before and after work. I have no pets of my own currently as they stayed in my home house. I can accommodate any walks, check-ins or cuddles as needed

About: I recently moved to Kilkenny to improve my English, but don't worry—I speak 'Dog' perfectly! 🐶 My background is in Interior Design and working at The Disney Store, which means two things for you: I am extremely detail-oriented and I have very high standards of responsibility. I am an active person who loves long walks in nature. I don't just "watch" pets; I engage with them. Whether your dog needs a 5km run or just a gentle stroll and a belly rub, I adapt to their energy. I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and I am happy to follow strict instructions regarding diet or medication. I currently have full availability 7 days a week, including mornings, afternoons, and weekends. Since I am not tied to a 9-to-5 office job right now, I can offer your pet my undivided attention. I never rush walks and I can be flexible if your plans change last minute. Your pet becomes my priority for the day. Your home is safe with me. As a professional Interior Designer, I have a deep respect for people's homes and spaces. I guarantee to leave your house exactly as I found it—clean, tidy, and secure. Safety First: I always keep dogs on a leash unless we are in a secure, fenced area. I will send you daily photo updates and GPS maps of our walks so you have total peace of mind knowing your furry friend is happy and safe.

“Lina is fantastic. She was able to come to our house while we were away for a weekend and look after our lovely cat Liam. She travelled for a visit each day to feed and mind Liam, and he loved her company. She was also so kind and watered some of our plants. I would strongly recommend Liam for all of your pet sitting needs!”

About: Hi! I’m a huge animal lover, and dogs have always been a big part of my life. Back home, I have my own dog, who I’ve cared for since he was a puppy and is truly the love of my life. Looking after him has taught me how important patience, routine, exercise, and plenty of affection are. Friends and family also trust me to care for their dogs while they’re away, whether that’s feeding, walking, playing, or simply keeping them company. I understand that every dog has their own personality and needs, and I’ll always treat your pet with the same love and care I give my own. I’ll also keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away I work full-time, but I work from home a couple of days during the week, which gives me extra flexibility to care for your pet. I’m also available in the evenings, weekends, and on my days off for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. I’ll always make sure your dog gets plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and lots of love, and I’ll keep you updated throughout their stay. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I’ll always follow your routine and any instructions you provide, including feeding schedules, walks, medication, and any special requirements. I understand that every dog is different, so I’ll take the time to help them feel comfortable and secure. I’ll treat your pet with the same care and respect as I would my own, and I’ll keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you can relax knowing they’re in safe hands.
