Patricia is a gold star pet sitter! She was very personable and friendly and was pro-active in making sure she understood the house and cat requirements. We were sent lovely updates (with photos!) and we came home to a spotless home and a very contented Dinah cat. Patricia even very thoughtfully got Dinah her own Xmas stocking with cat treats. We fully recommend Patricia and hope she can come back again someday.
Andrea, Nolan and their two girls were excellent, thoughtful and attentive sitters. My two cats loved the family and the affection they received. I received daily updates and photos. My house was as clean or cleaner when I returned. My plants and flowers thriving. Andrea and Nolan are reliable and conscientious, I would happily have them again and highly recommend them.

We left our lovely cat with Cathy for 2 nights before long weekend journey. Really easy communication, easy to drop off. I definitely recommend it.
I left in max our male cat, with Cathy, max had a great time, he came home, totally chilled, and content, I couldn't thank Cathy and her husband enough for the lovely hospitality they showed max while he stayed in there cattery for ten days. I would highly recommend Cathy's cattery for your pet. Christopher Maguire
Our two young cats returned from their first visit last Sunday. They appear calm and happy. No sign of stress. I believe they were well looked after. Home from home. Flexible drop off and collection too. Would recommend Cathy's Cattery. They are already looking forward to their next visit in the summer 🐱 …
Cathy and Sharon treated our cat Scout extremely well and he returned after a 10 day holiday with them in top form. We were very grateful to them both for looking after him so well and were very grateful for the pictures we received of him while we were away. We could not recommend Cathy’s Cattery any higher.
Cathy offers a fantastic service. She is flexible for collection and drop off. Her cattery is a great set up and the cats have great space. My cat never comes out stressed. Cathy is super patient as my cat can be slightly fussy. Would highly recommend 👍 …
Can't recommend Cathy enough. Extremely flexible around drop off and collection time. Our cat always returns happy and relaxed and it's comforting to know he's being cared for so well!
Highly recommend. Cathy and Sharon are clearly true cat lovers, and did everything possible to make sure our 3 cats had a happy and healthy stay. Thanks!
Cathy has looked after our cat Fizz a few times now and she looks after her so well. We always get photo updates from her. Its such a relief to find somewhere that treats your pet like her own. Would never leave Fizz anywhere else x
I just picked up Pixel from Cathys Cattery. She is totally relaxed and happy. Thank you Cathy for looking after her so well. She really appreciated the quiet surroundings and the fact that it's a cats only! Will definitely be back again. Monica C.
I have been leaving my cat Clinton with Cathy and Gary for years now. Great service, friendly people and one of the most flexible catteries I have dealt with with regards to drop off and pick up times.
Tom is an absolute gent who really cares for all dogs. Our Golden Retriever Charlie loves his days socialising with all of the other dogs and always comes home a happy (but exhausted!) boy. Highly recommended
Fabulous doggie day care 🐶 Misty loves it there, she can't wait to get out of the car when we pull up outside 😀 Tom is brilliant with all of the dogs 🐶 …
Tom is the best there is. Our doggy loves Tom and always has a day of fun playing with everyone! Brilliant service.
Our little fella always comes home exhausted!! Tom and the team have always been so caring and attentive to the dogs - 5 star service!
Wonderful place for doggie Daycare. My dog runs in and then cries in the car coming home. Tom and the team are fantastic.
Great place for dogs to socialise. Ours comes home wrecked and loves going back.
Freddy is in great hands with Tom and the Doggie Lodge Crew!
My 2 dogs love doggie lodge - as do I
Wonderful caring playground for dogs big and small.
Great staff and very helpful
Had to sort family issues in Vancouver at short notice last year and Fedelma put me at ease. My two rescues had never been kennelled before but they were so well looked after. Highly recommend Fedelma and wouldn’t hesitate to go to her again.
We have left our dog with Fedelma's on a number of occasions. Our dog is always excited to be dropped off which is such a good sign to know that they will be happy and cared for during their stay. Fantastic open facilitates for a dog to run around and have fun. Warm and clean individual sleeping area for each dog. Beautiful location also for a "city" dog to go on their holidays! It is the only place that we would trust with our dog.
Fedelma and her staff took amazing care of our dog, Dougal while we were on holiday. He came back well cared for, happy and calm. They really went the extra mile to take care of him. Thank you! Highly recommend!!
Fedelma and the KK team are brilliant. Our dogs came home very happy, clean and in top-condition. Super clean kennels and lovely gardens for the dogs to enjoy on their holidays!
Delighted to have been introduced to Kings Kennels. Amazing facilities and professionally run with the focus and attention to the animals. In this case, our Golden Retriever Conall. We could not have asked for more care and reassurance for our pet whilst we were away. The location and set up show that the owners focus is on the animals welfare at all times. We really appreciated the initial interview and visit to the Kennel as this showed us where our pet would be looked after during his stay. It also gave both parties an opportunity to ask questions and understand the routines. We set our expectations high and they were well and truly exceeded. Many thanks Fedelma and Pat!
Delighted with how professional Fidelma runs her kennels. Our dog came home happy and well looked after. I’ve no hesitation in recommending Kings Kennels for your doggie holidays
Fedelma is amazing with our dog, she is always happy going to Kings and always comes back very well minded, clean and groomed in great shape! Everyone is a pleasure to deal with!
Fedelma takes great care and attention to the dogs. My dog (golden retriever) enjoying going on his holidays to fedelma King every time. Highly recommend herself.
We have an 8 month old Golden Retriever who hadn't been to a kennels before. Naturally we were very anxious about leaving him there for a week however, Fedelma could not have been more empathetic and really put us at ease about the care Bunker would receive. During our holiday, Fedelma sent us a video of Bunker playing with all of the other dogs and he was clearly having a ball! This built up a lot of trust and put us at ease. When I collected Bunker he was happy and on top form. As a result I would highly recommend King's Kennels for your doggy's staycation!
We’ve used Kings Kennels a couple of times now, when we picked up the first time he was so happy to be there with his tail wagging and we could tell he loved Fedelma. The second time when we arrived, he couldn’t get out the car quick enough and ran straight over to Fedelma to say hello which was so reassuring for us. Again when we picked him up it was the same as the first time, tail wagging and looked so happy. The kennels are spotlessly clean, and Kings Kennels also have a beautiful area of gated land where the dogs can go a few times a day to stretch their legs, have a sniff around and play with the other dogs. I can’t recommend Fedelma and Kings Kennels enough. We will 100% continue to use them going forward and feel so lucky to have found them.
We recently left our giant German shephard baby at Wicklow Woof dog boarding. We instantly liked the place and Noel who greeted us at the kennel was very confident in handling Leo. Our dog who is very choosy and a bit anxious meeting strangers immediately took a liking to Noel and we liked the large, spacious enclosures and the scenic backdrop. It was the first time we were leaving our dog in any kennel and we were anxious but Noel immediately put us at ease. Fast forward to our vacation, we got videos of our dog going on lovely scenic walks, surrounded by his new furry friends and enjoying the lush green surroundings. We were delighted! We picked him up today and we are very satisfied with the whole experience. We hope the quality and services of wicklow woof dog boarding remain top-notch forever because we have finally found a place that we can trust with our furry baby. Thank you from Leo and us! We will be back soon! :)
My dog tarka was very well looked after when at Wicklow Woof. The facilities are top class - the kennels are generously big in a lovely farm yard with plenty of space for dogs to run around! Would definitely recommend to a friend.
The best kennels I’ve ever used and I’ve tried a lot! Dog was super happy and was treated so well. Regular photos and video updates. Couldn’t recommend more - thanks to all the team 🐶 …
I dropped off Maisie to Wicklow Woof and she immediately loved the place. Great facilities for dogs to run around and play. Think she had a better holiday than myself!
We put our two dogs in for a week - we were a bit nervous as we hadn’t used a kennel before. Both dogs slept in the same area alone which was great. Thomas was excellent he put us at ease and showed us the entire set up. We got photos of our dogs most days and this really helped put our minds at ease. The dogs were wrecked coming home so they spent a lot of time outside walking and with other dogs. I’d highly recommend it for active dogs 🐶
I checked Molly into here and she had the best time. Amazing facilities for the dogs and such wonderful staff. Molly came back very happy and made lots of friends. Would definitely come back and recommend to anyone looking for a place that genuinely looks after and cares for their dogs. There is also amazing views of the Wicklow countryside.
SEND YOUR DOGS HERE. I left my 2 great dane dogs in the very safe hands of the Wicklow woof lodge (very hard to find a kennel to take these sized dogs/ has adequate facilities for them) and I couldn't believe how much the dogs enjoyed their vacation here as we have had bad experiences before in the Wicklow area with the caretakers not looking after the dogs properly. I would recommend to everyone to send your dogs here, where they will feel right at home and will be cared for more than is needed. A big thank you again from me, my wife and our 2 giant kids, all of our tails have been wagging from this experience here.
The Wicklow Woof completely exceeded my expectations and provided an unparalleled experience for my beloved dog Marley, while I was away on holidays. If you're searching for a top-notch facility that offers a wonderful blend of care, freedom, and love, look no further than Wicklow Woof! From the moment I stepped foot on the premises, I knew Marley was in excellent hands. The large field and shelter provided an ideal environment for dogs to roam and play freely. It was an absolute joy to witness Marley bounding across the green fields, tail wagging with pure delight. The expansive space allowed Marley to stretch his legs and embrace his adventurous side, all under the watchful eyes of the caring staff at Wicklow Woof.
My dogs loved it very dog friendly staff. Got texts wen I was away to let me know how dey were. One dog wanted to stay. Both dogs in very same condition when collected which is great as one dog is a bulldog who needs extra minding Would highly recommend it. Doggie heaven at its best. Huge kennels lots of space. Would nearly holiday there myself
I checked the love of my life, bumpy, into this fantastic establishment. My dog thoroughly enjoyed his stay , the facilities were top notch and the staff went above and beyond the call of duty for my beloved. Would recommend this to anyone looking to send their dog on holidays for a few days/weeks.
Finding a place where your dog is cared for like family is hard, but our boy Zeus was obviously loved like he was their own. Daily updates of his playtime and snuggles gave us peace of mind during his extended stay. We're incredibly grateful to Coralee for her exceptional care and love for Zeus. So happy to have found this place and can't recommend it highly enough. Thank you, Coralee! 🐾💕
Our two princesses stayed with Coralee when we went on a family holiday to America. We were nervous to leave them as we hadn't left them for this long before and they are both getting older and set in their ways. Pippa is diabetic and is prescribed insulin twice a day. We were worried this would be an issue for any kennel to take them. From the moment we arrived we knew they were in good hands, Coralee and her family are so loving and treated the girls like her own. She ensured I was kept up to date on how the girls were getting on and sent regular updates. The facilities are five star 🌟, Coralee made sure the girls were comfortable at all times and pampered them before they came home. I cannot recommend Coralee enough, we will sure to be back next time we need to travel
This is a five star experience for any little dog. Our dog is quite timid and is very much a velcro dog so I was really worried and upset at the idea of having to leave him for nearly 2 weeks. However from the first phone call with Coralee I just knew he was going to be so we'll cared for. And I was right. He was treated like one of the family in their home with buckets of love and attention. Coralee sent me daily updates and videos of my dog so I could see for myself he was truly happy and content. Highly recommended. Thank you Coralee.
I cannot recommend Coralee and Jake at The Paw Seasons Resort highly enough! I had looked at many boarding/kennels before coming across Paw Seasons, and I am so glad I found it! My Scooby is very precious and rather spoilt so I knew he'd need a place where he's shown loads of attention, affection and love. Well Coralee and Jake certainly does this, and more! He has stayed three times now and is so happy there. Coralee sends regular updates, photos and videos, which is lovely to see, knowing he's having a wonderful time. The grounds are stunning, with lots of land for play time, and fab bedrooms for the doggies 🐕. Coralee and Jake are real dog lovers with vast knowledge. It is worth the hour drive to know my dog will be looked after so well. I wouldn't go amywhere else! Thanks as always 🥰
Our dog Eric absolutely loved his time at The Paw Seasons while we were away for two weeks. Coralee treated him as if she was his own. She was incredibly understanding and accommodating as Eric had a very serious injury last summer and we were anxious about leaving him. She was very thorough in learning about Eric’s needs and schedule. The communication was excellent while Eric was at The Paw Seasons and we felt so reassured that he was being well looked after. The grounds are beautiful and Eric was well exercised every day. I cannot recommend The Paw Seasons enough, Coralee’s knowledge and love of dogs is exceptional.
We couldn’t recommend The Paw Seasons highly enough. From the moment we met Coralee and the family we knew our dog Sammy would be so well taken care of and they put us at ease immediately. Coralee’s knowledge of dogs is second to none and the photo and video updates she sends mean we can always enjoy our holidays in total reassurance. Coralee and Jake have gone above and beyond every time Sammy has stayed with them - he gets more excited now for his holidays than we do for ours! The facilities are ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️- we would say pawfect 🐾
Hubie had the most amazing time in Paw Seasons , he was treated like a prince , and we got regular updates when we were on holidays. Coralee is extremely nice and I would definitely recommend Paw Seasons to all my dog owner friends. Hubie can’t wait to go back again for his holidays and especially his pamper day. Hubie 🐶 & Family 💙❤️
Our Corgi stayed in the Paw Seasons for two weeks while we were abroad on holiday. We had been recommended the kennels by another family member, so we had a good idea that our dog would be well cared for. We got a very detailed tour of the custom built facilities at the Paw Seasons when we arrived to drop off our dog. Coralee gave us loads of time, fully explaining where our man would be housed at different times in the day and where he would sleep. She made a huge effort to welcome our dog and her experience as a dog handler and trainer was immediately evident. She also stressed that while he would see and interact with other dogs at the resort, at no time would he physically be with another dog, be that Coralee’s own pets or other guests at the resort. The resort is surrounded by lovely countryside and woodland, which our man really enjoyed on his daily walks. And he came home looking great after Coralee gave him a de-shed treatment. We have already booked him in for our next trip away!
As someone who has never left my dogs for more than a night I was very anxious but Coralee and Jake were so welcoming and understanding that i knew straight away that my girls would be very well taken care off. It’s a lovely place they have a real home from home and straight away you can see how much they love dogs. Both my dogs were extremely well looked after and im sure if they could talk they would say what a great time they had. I’ll never be able to thank Coralee and Jake enough for taking such goid care of them your both wonderful caring people. We will 100% send our girls on holiday to you in the future. Lots of love from Luna Lacey and the maguire family xx
Chewie spent a week at the Paw Seasons over Christmas and we were delighted and relieved to have found a suitable minder for him. Coralee and her family treated him so well and he was so happy duringhis stay. We never worried once & we received update pics every day. I would highly recommend Paw Seasons & would use there again.
Noggin, our eighteen month old cockapoo, has been going to Elite Dog Services at least once every week for almost a year now. He absolutely loves playing with the other dogs - the “regulars” are firm friends now. He comes home exhausted but happy and is always excited to go back to daycare. Roisin - the owner - knows dogs inside out and wields a firm but loving authority over the dogs. This means we feel perfectly happy leaving Noggin there as we know he will be safe. We cannot recommend this daycare facility highly enough.
My dog absolutely loves her daycare days and walks with Roisin! Faultlessly professional service and set up and it's clear how much the dogs enjoy it from the smiles on their faces every time I drop off and pick up. I would highly recommend and I always make sure to tell my own grooming clients about this facility. Thankyou for making my dog so happy Roisin.
I send my dog for socialization and to use up some of his energy, he's always excited to get out of the car when we pull up and is tired for 2 days after! It's clear to see Roisin has nothing but love for all her furry guests. Would highly recommend Roisin and this fab little day care .
A top class Doggie Daycare, Roisin the owner and the leader understands my little fella. He is always jumping out of the car to run into his pals. Roisin is passionate about her enterprise and give 5 star treatment to all her fur babies 🐶 …
Roisin cares deeply about the dogs in her care. Our dog races into the daycare every time we go.
My dog gets excited when he knows we are going in that direction. Has a great time, leaves happy and tired. Collapsed when he gets home.
Because the dogs are so happy there and enjoy being with their mates
I contacted service and left a message. Callback received and explained service.
Very professional set up. buddy loves being there
Looking foward to bringing my dog
Another great stay for Noodle! Leaving Noodle at Beeches Brook makes it easy for me to have a relaxing time on my human vacation, knowing that he will be having a best time on his dog vacation. As always, he was in excellent condition when I picked him up - he was obviously in very caring hands. Patricia and Philip are always so kind; it's clear they really love dogs and take a lot of factors into account in looking after them.
I collected Persi and Bunti this morning after a week with Patricia and Philip and Co. They were in great form and looked as if they had been well cared for. I was especially pleased to note that their eyes were lovely and clean (poodles tend to have gucky eye discharge which needs regular removal). This was their first holiday in Beeches Brook but it certainly won’t be their last. Thank you all for looking after my precious pooches.
Our dog Mick loves his holidays here and always comes back tired and happy from them. No distress or acting out and if he had his way would stay as long as he could. Owners are excellent to deal with and payment is very convenient and reasonable too.
Excellent. We have left our Labrador with Patricia and Philip in Beeches Brook over the last few years and highly recommend it. Our dog is so happy when we drop him. He always gets a warm welcome - as do we! Beautiful grounds and surroundings. It is great peace of mind to have somewhere we can leave him safe, happy and well looked after by a nice family who clearly love dogs.
Left my 2 dogs here for a week and cant fault the care and attention they received, Patricia and her team really care and I could tell that the dogs were very happy during their stay, I would have no hesitation in reccomending Beeches Brook kennels to anyone.
Highly recommend Beeches Brookes boarding kennels. Our small mixed breed dog Coco goes in happy tail wagging every single time. She was just there on her holidays for just over two weeks and bounded in. We are so lucky we found Beeches Brookes for our Coco, we have great peace of mind when we drop her in that she is being well taken care of
We have a 10yr old Labrador who has been staying in Beeches Brook since he has been a puppy. So thats 10 years with about 3 or 4 stays a year with a yearly 2 week stay during the summer. Patricia and her family look after the animals like they are their own pets, our Lab is a quiet sensitive dog and he never shows any upset going into the kennels and when we collect him he is always in really good condition. We spent a lot of time researching kennels and getting personal feedback so have no hesitation in recommending Beeches Brook Kennels.
We’ve left our dog here over last few years. Beeches brook is a professionally run kennels which we have utmost confidence in. When we leave Rocky he’s happy and when we collect him he’s happy. Highly recommend
Three strikes and you’re out, I’ve sent my Lab here on three separate occasions and had vet bills to cover issues from all three occasions. Not prepared to pay for kennel and vet bills, god knows what’s happening between drop off and collection.
Highly recommend Beeches Brook Boarding Kennels to take excellent care of your pet while away. Beautiful grounds and fields for them to run around and the Kennel owners were very friendly and kind to deal with. I was really happy overall in regards the care given and had piece of mind while I was away which is what you really want.Pleased to say mine was in very good condition physically and mentally on collection. Most certainly would like to use their services again.
