About us! Pet Sitters Ireland was born mainly out of a love for animals, but also from the realisation that pet owners want an alternative to the current pet care options available to them when they travel away from home. There When You Need Us! 11
About us! Kate & Michael McQuillan moved to Ireland in 1999, with their cat Top Cat and their Collie Patch. We both love animals and our pets quickly took to a laid back life in the country. After being here 5 years, we found our second cat Smug. He appeared on our door step only weeks old. He was so small and could fit in the palm of your hand and he was very sick. Kate nursed him to health only for him to then fracture his pelvis and break his leg. But he did get better and quickly became part of the family. Soon after we found Lucky, she is an English Springer Spaniel who was left to fend for herself in the countryside. When we found her hiding in one of our outbuildings, she had fleas, mange and was a bag of bones. We took her in, got her well and now she also has become part of the family. From taking in Lucky and now having four pets it was hard to get away for a break, our friends and family don t live local to us, but we wouldn t like to put on them anyway. Our pets don t particularly like going to kennels or catteries, and it also took a while for them to settle once there and the same when they got home. Pet Sitters Ireland was born mainly out of a love for animals, but also from the realisation that pet owners want an alternative to the current pet care options available to them when they travel away from home.

F.A.Q. What if my pet gets sick? Our first priority is to your pet, so having already taken your vets details at the first meeting we would contact your vet. We would then contact you and keep you updated of their progress. Do I need to provide food? Yes, we would always feed them the food that you leave out for us. We would also stick to your instructions in terms of portion size. When do I pay for the services? We always ask you to pay at the start of the visits. Do you look after other animals? We can look after any animals, please just ask! Can I bring my pet to your house? We do not have the facility to board animals, the purpose of a pet sitter is to not take your pet out of their usual and familar environment. How do I know that I can trust you with my pet and my house? Not only do we interview and check our pet sitters and dog walked references, but we do our utmost to get them Garda clearance checked, and if I wouldn t let that person into my home to look after my pets, I wouldn t let them in to yours. More importantly you have the last say, after the Meet & Greet, if it s not a good match call the office and we will send you someone else. Is the Pet Sitter local to me? Yes, in most cases the Pet Sitter will be local to you but on occasion we may have to bring a pet sitter from another area to facilitate your needs. Will I get the same Pet Sitter every time I use the service? Yes, for good continuity and pet care maintenance we will always send the same pet sitter back to look after your pets, and if we can t we will arrange a Meet & Greet for you to meet them to make sure it s a good match.
