About house sitting in Kilkenny

Kilkenny is a city steeped in medieval heritage and blessed with beautiful green spaces that dogs and their owners adore. Kilkenny Castle and its surrounding parkland offer wide lawns and tree-lined walks in the very heart of the city, while the banks of the River Nore provide peaceful paths that wind through the town and out into the Kilkenny countryside. Woodstock Gardens near Inistioge, a short drive south, features formal gardens, arboretum trails, and sweeping views over the Nore valley. Castlecomer Discovery Park to the north delivers woodland trails, adventure walks, and open meadows perfect for an energetic day out with your dog.

Each Kilkenny neighbourhood brings its own charm to pet ownership. High Street and John's Bridge sit at the city's medieval core, where narrow lanes lead quickly to the castle grounds and river walks. Castle Road and Gardens offer leafy, residential streets with easy access to green spaces, while Freshford Road and Hebron Road are established family areas with a strong community feel. Loughboy and Newpark, on the southern side of the city, are popular with young families and feature well-maintained parks and playgrounds. Purcellsinch and Johnswell Road provide a quieter, semi-rural setting where pets can enjoy open fields alongside suburban living.

Petme connects Kilkenny pet owners with verified, local sitters who genuinely love animals. Every booking includes €20,000 vet protection, so whether your dog is exploring the castle parkland or your cat is relaxing at a sitter's home on Hebron Road, you can be confident they are fully covered. With flexible options from daily walks to extended boarding, finding trusted pet care in the Marble City has never been easier.
