I thoroughly enjoyed my stay in Shelley's lovely home, located in a nice part of Toronto with good access to public transport. Nina and Izzy were exceptionally sweet, friendly and affectionate cats and it was a pleasure caring for them. Nina was a little bit shy at first but that didn't last long and she would often follow me around and be on my lap whenever I sat. Shelley provided very clear guidance and was very welcoming. Many thanks for the experience, Shelley!
Jazzy and Kaia are awesome!! Kaia is so sweet and fun to take care of
Jodi's furr-o-cious bunch were so fun to watch! Mallie and Gizmo are both super friendly and also very affectionate dogs! Gizmo is a newer addition to the family and recently adopted with some anxiety, so I tried to ensure his comfort by not leaving side of him (they, Jodi and her partner are both working on the anxiety issue). Mallie is pretty chill and can be pretty goofy. She also likes chasing June (one of the two cats, the other being BUG!), but June is pretty good at running away and seeking shelter somewhere higher up. Both cats are also super easy, and love cuddles. They can be a bit rambunctious at night, but, that is the breed after all :). The apartment is inviting and has beautiful views of the Dartmouth Cove. Lots of sunlight, and lots of space in case you are working from home. Jodi also leaves pretty detailed instructions to avoid any ambiguity. She also left me a bottle of wine as a kind and welcoming gesture, which was so appreciated for the weekend stay :). I'd definitely recommend staying at Jodi's, especially if you're interested to explore Downtown Dartmouth!
Biscuit is so sweet. She loves people so we connected right away. She was easy to feed and walk. I work remotely so we were together most of the day and she was a great companion. Namie was an AWESOME host. She was thorough with her instructions and the communication was great. I couldn’t speak more highly of her! Her place is a typical NY studio, but it was just me so I never felt like I didn’t have enough room and Namie has done a wonderful job designing her space. She lives a couple of blocks from Washington Square Park and her place is close to a lot of stuff. I highly recommend this sit!

Our dog Buzz was absolutely well looked after at Cork Paws! we were kept very up to date during his stay, Kristian and Stephen were very kind and phenomenal, taking great care of Buzz, I'd have no hesitation in recommending Cork Paws, if you are looking to leave your Dog in a friendly and safe environment.
I would absolutely recommend Kristian and Steven to anyone in need of care for their dogs. They have a beautiful home and 2 gorgeous dogs who were lovely relaxed friends to my little 5month pup and my parents 18 year terrier. Kristian sends lots of photos of them enjoying their holidays! Honestly think they’re great and so glad to have found them, it was like a home away from home for them both.
Absolutely reccomend this place, went to a wedding for 2 nights and with a 1 week notice, they were able to look after our dog Lexi for those days. Steven and Kristian are lovely, they had us bring Lexi over to get familiar with the house and them and their two dogs Buddy and Abbey who are adorable and very friendly, before we left. While away they kept me up to date with messages and pics of my dog to show how well and happy she was, playing with their own dogs. There house is lovely and they have a nice big back garden that is fenced off that they play in, so your dog cant make a prison break they also walk the dogs everyday. If you want your dog to be looked after in a family home enviroment, while you're away, rather than be stuck in a kennel with 20 other dog's and not looked after as much, Cork Paws Dog Boarding is the place to go. Next time I have to go away, I will be sending my dog here.
I didn't there was such a thing as the perfect dog minder for my pampered pooch Charlie until I met Kristian that is. Charlie is just back home from an amazing stay with Kristian Stephen and their two beautiful dogs. He was so well looked after and made one of the family and I got loads of updates and photos from Kristian. Charlie can't wait to go back! I would have no hesitation in recommending Cork Paws to any dog owner. Thank you so much Kristian!
I cannot recommend Kristian enough 😊 My Rosie can be nervous at times with new people but after her first day care with Kristian she was all waggy tails going again. Rosie recently spent 4 nights boarding with Kristian and she had the best time with walks and her friends Abby and Buddy. It was a huge relief to know she was in such good care. Thank you so much for everything we will see you soon!
My boy Toby stayed overnight in Kristians and I was very happy with everything. He sent regular photos and updates and Toby got on great with the other dogs in the house. He came home absolutely exhausted after a fun filled weekend! I would definitely use their services again.
Chico had a great day at day care with Kristian. He was well looked after and he was exhausted when he got home after a full day of fun with the other dogs. Highly recommend!
Elmo had the most wonderful weekend. He loved all the attention that he got and we got regular photos and updates. The biggest surprise was when we collected him and he was surrounded by three other dogs, and loving it. This was far from the dog we left three days earlier that barked at every dog he saw! Can't recommend Cork Paws enough. We'll definitely be bringing him back for his holidays!
Alfie stayed with Kristian recently while we were away. We were delighted with the updates daily and the photos sent on to us. Alfie looked like he had great fun there. It was a relief to have Alfie looked after in a home environment and with their own dogs there for company too. We would not hesitate to use Cork Paws again.
Brilliant!! My dog Bella had the most amazing time! I received cute pic updates of her while I was away which was lovely reassurance, she really enjoyed her stay and can’t wait for her next adventure! A home away from home.. Thanks Cork Paws 🐾 …
Would like to send a big thank you to Collette and her team for looking after our two dogs Elsa and Max for us while we were away on holidays for two weeks.Elsa suffers from separation anxiety and Max is our rescue dog and very shy and nervous. We were apprehensive to leave them in the care of someone else. Collette was absolutely fantastic and took great care of them. We would highly recommend 🐕🥰😀
I cannot recommend enough Colette and all the staff working at blarney doggie daycare. Thanks for everything! My little old Sam had a great time with ye!
Have had our dog at a couple of doggie daycares over the years and this is by far the most professional. It’s a purpose built premises that’s spacious and fun with separate areas for both large and small dogs with both indoor and outdoor facilities. The staff are friendly, knowledgable and very professional. Delighted to have our dog there
Great place, great to have peace of mind leaving Teddy with people who mind and care for him, great rates too... be lost without them 👌 100% recommend …
Colette and the girls are absolutely amazing with the fur babies. My two love their days in doggy daycare and I can always trust that they are happy and safe when they are in Colettes care. The best!
Colette and the Crew take amazing care of Ollie. Short stays or long, he absolutely loves heading to Blarney Doggie Daycare & Boarding
Great adventure. Dogs very happy
The team and Colette are amazing. Great service and my dog always comes home happy.
Cooper is a newbie at Muddy Paws but he absolutely loves it there. Niamh is just amazing with all the dogs & it’s a home from home with the addition of his doggie pals. I feel so lucky to have found Niamh
Niamh is absolutely amazing! Our dog had been going to Muddy Paws for 3 years and adores it there. They are always well looked after with a large area to run around and play. Can't recommend highly enough and so important to the area as all our dogs are well cared for while we're at work.
Niamh is fabulous at what she does. Muddy Paws has a large outside space for the dogs to run around and play but also has a smaller inside space for some who need a little downtime. Niamh is so knowledgeable and can always offer advice if needed. My Bernese Mountain dog loves his doggy friends and his Niamh!
A fabulous place for your dog to learn and socialise, they'll get the best care and all the dogs always seem happy to be there! Niamh is very knowledgeable and very friendly and kind. Love bringing my boy here🐶❤️ …
My mother's dog Ricky loves going to day care. Niamh is wonderful with dogs! The dogs are always so happy 😊 …
Absolutely fantastic place. Niamh is wonderful with the dogs. Always happy to leave my dog with her, knowing he will be so well looked after.
My Labrador loves it here, he loves playing, swimming, and smelling everything. There is ample opportunities for that here.
Great place for the dog and Niamh is wonderful with them
Thank you 😊 …
Can’t recommend collins canines enough. Molly, our timid golden retriever pup, seems to be scared of all humans except for Aidan and she can not wait to get out of the car and let me go to work so she can spend the day with him!! It’s so lovely to see how much Aidan loves the dogs and how much the dogs love him. It’s also so nice to know that while I’m working Molly couldn’t be left in safer hands. Even the weeks I’m off I’ll send Molly in at least once a week for her own entertainment
We love leaving Mina with Aidan and the girls, and she loves going there, wagging her tale as soon as we arrive! They're all amazing with the dogs. They're professional, reliable and they really are looking for the dog wellness and positive experience! Is a peace of mind leaving her with them!🐾🐾💚 …
I dropped off my bouncy, energetic, crazy puppy Bruce today! I brought home a calmer, happier, more mentally and physically stimulated puppy. I can't thank Aidan enough, this is exactly what my boy needed. Such a wonderful place for dog socialisation. Aidan is fabulous and really knows his stuff. I really appreciate how he is so clear and precise about what you can expect and the best schedule for the dog in respect to days, duration etc. Can't wait for the next day! Would highly recommend to anyone bringing a puppy into their life for the benefit of their dog in the long run! So much thanks!
Aidan, Rosin and Hilary are just amazing! My little rescue is changing for the better every day, gaining confidence and learning how to play! Aidan and team clearly adore the dogs and I know I'm leaving my one in safe hands - and the daily photo's are just the cherry on top! Couldn't recommend enough!
Contacted Aidan as saw he had mostly good reviews. Completely rude and unprofessional. Was told “he doesn’t take stressed or crazy dogs” and told to go elsewhere. When asked where would he recommend he said he didn’t know anywhere for me. I’ve heard before that he’s not a people person but didn’t believe it until I saw it. Wouldn’t recommend getting in touch with this guy.
Collins Canines team are amazing and have been an integral part of helping my once nervous rescue dog adapt to being a happy healthy dog :- she loves her time here. I couldn’t recommend it highly enough.
Our 8 month old Labrador Retriever has been going to Aidan and his team for a few months now and he absolutely loves it...it's great for socialisation in a controlled safe environment. Max loves going up to meet his doggie friends on a weekly basis. He jumps out of the car and runs in for his days fun.
Was with Collins Canines for about 2 months end of 2020 and as rude and unprofessional as I thought Aidan was, he was my best option at the time and did seem good with my dog. After a 9 month break, he claimed to have no recollection of either myself, my dog or any whatsapp messages, he didn't seem interested in my business when i asked him for dog minding 4 times a week but eventually did allow a test booking for a few hours. Within 30 seconds of me handing the dog over at the door to me getting back to my car, he could apparently tell that she was very aggressive and not used to other dogs. I had just come back from a week holiday where the owner of the day care didn't charge me full price because "she was such a pleasure and got along with every dog". I fully understand that he knows his animals, but from the get go it seemed like he didn't want my business. He said he would follow up on places i could bring her but I didn't hear anything from him again. Would not recommend for lack of friendliness and professionalism alone.
We managed to get our dog in while we visited cork for a graduation. During both the trial day, and the full day that our dog was there, we got photo updates via WhatsApp which was so lovely! Collins canines/ Aidan are very professional and he and the staff clearly love what they do!
Aidan is the only person our boxer has ever been happy being left with outside of our home! He’s amazing with dogs! Would highly recommend Aidan and his services!
Excellent care for our two cats for over a week. Thanks again.
Great cattery. Tony is very loving to all his boarders and the cats always come home well cared for. Peace of mind on holiday for definite.
We've left our cat with Tony a few times and can't fault his service! Tony is great to deal with, very understanding and so natural with our cat Max. Max is always content when returning from his time in Wags and Tails. Will be definitely returning to Tony again! Thanks :)
My cats have stayed with Tony at least 4-5 times since they were kittens and never had a problem. He sent updates on their well-being while we're on holidays for our peace of mind. The facilities are designed with cats in mind and it´s spotless. Even he has two different areas for the colder months. There are plenty of areas for playing and climbing too. Tony is passionate about animals and knows how to treat them. Always it´s been easy to deal with him and had excellent service, he even offer pick up and delivery. I could not recommend more
Toffee and Coffee had a great time. Chilling at home after picking them up. Thanks Tony. Highly recommended.
My two cats seemed to enjoy their first holidays at Wags & Tails and they've returned happy and healthy. Great communication from Tony from the start. Will definitely be back.
Tony is great, very flexible and lovely to deal with.
Tony was fantastic to deal with,minded my cat for 2 weeks and he was very happy. Gave me a little tour of the cattery,it's great. Highly recommend
Found Tony really rude when collecting our cat. He became very angry when I mentioned I would like to be allowed in past the driveway gate when collecting, to see where she had been staying. He refused. He said no viewings June, July, August. When I said I find that very unusual he became quite angry I had to ask him to stop shouting at me & all he said was go on away woman with your cat. I do not recommend, very odd, made me feel they were trying to Hide something, when they should be trying to instill confidence. Paid €280 for 3 weeks, no receipt provided either!
Great experience. I left my cat here for over 3 weeks while I was on holiday. He was well cared for by tony and is a lot more sociable and confident after the experience
Daycare, Grooming and Boarding. Joyce and her team are superb, the only place I’d entrust with our pawsome girl. Holly skips in the door and we’ve complete peace of mind at work and on holidays. Every time we collect her she’s in top form, happy, healthy and says goodbye a few times before we leave. Simply the best 🐾 ⭐️ 🐾 ⭐️ 🐾 ⭐️ 🐾 ⭐️ 🐾 ⭐️
A truly perfect experience, and my dog loved it!
Rosie loves her time in little Paw's. Thanks for the great care you all take with our pet.
Very friendly staff. Had my 3 dogs stay here for 3 nights and they seem to have had a ball. Very reasonable also. Beautiful grounds and space for the dogs to run around. Will definitely be using them again. Thanks so much.
Fantastic groomers tried a few different groomer's over the years and this is definitely the best place for our dog "Happy"
Fantastic is all I can say, our dog hates going there to be groomed, like many pets, but is absolutely happy, content and beautifully groomed upon collection. Staff are great our pet, who has a skin condition, and take extra time for her needs. Very knowledgeable and caring, well worth trying out.
Just brilliant, my 2 shih-tzu’s (one of which is a very tough cut) love going there for grooming. My other chap was fostered there and they really looked after him before I took him. The just love dogs and it shows. Highly recommend.
Very happy with the care my doggies got here! They seemed really comfortable and cosy and well looked after, and the facilities seem really safe!! We’ll definitely be coming back again ☺️
I've been using little paws for 12 years. Joyce and co given the best of care to my dogs all down through the years. You couldn't find a better place to leave your little mischief makers while at work or on holidays.
This is such a lovely boarding Kennels and Joyce is so helpful. We were going on holidays and the kennels we had booked into fell through at the last minute and Joyce at Little Paws was very kind to take our dogs Cooper and Ralphie for 10 days. They both had a lovely time. I would Highly recommend this as a boarding Kennels. Thank you Little Paws.
Just a wonderful place to send your dogs for the day, weekend or longer. Fiona is so kind and and accommodating, it's clear she loves the animals. Well recommended.
Very warm welcome for my puppy and she had a great first day. I am delighted to know she will be so well looked after and socialised while I am at work.
Hillary is the ONLY person that I trust with my Sash, Hillary understands Dogs and my Girl Loves her, 5 Star isn't enough. Thanks Hillary
Would highly recommend these Kennels. Very easy to deal with and our Bichon was given lots of care and comfort. We will definitely use again if staying Cork City.
Highly recommend these kennels the lady hilary is such a lovely lady I will only use these kennels from now on my dog taken good care of 😍 …
I recently left my dog here for a wk I found it great Hilary is a lovely lady showed me around kennels,sent me a pic updated me my dog liked her as well will definitely use again and recommend
Hillary is a very genuine and honest lady. Iam very pleased with the great care she gives my dog.
Very friendly, take amazing care of the dogs. Wide enclosed outdoor area to play.
very welcoming and dogs treated very well and well looked after
Plenty of good care & exercise.highly recommended.
Great place to leave your pet in safe hands.
We left our senior girl with Allie for 11 days recently. It was Chorizo's first stay in kennels since 2018, so we took her to meet Allie some weeks before our holiday. I could see immediately that there would be absolutely no problems. Our girl is a bit on the anxious side, but Allie's many years' experience working with rescues has given her a fantastic way with nervous dogs, and she immediately formed a bond with Chorizo. We had a lovely holiday, knowing that Chorizo was having the time of her life, with the photos to prove it! She made so many friends amongst the other residents, something we wouldn't have thought likely, and she was so well cared-for and exercised. I can't recommend this beautiful kennels highly enough, and most particularly Allie herself. What a heavenly place! ☀️
It was my dogs first time ever being away from us in 3 and a half yrs, we were so nervous, well there definitely wasn't any need, ozzie had a great time with allie, and the new doggie friends he made, fabulous Kennels, and spotlessly clean, highly recommended, thank you allie ❤
My Donal had an absolute ball at Allies. This boarding kennels is dog heaven. Allie is the consummate professional and her kennels were designed solely with the dogs safety and comfort in mind. We really appreciated the beautiful and rather hilarious photos we received of Donal bounding around the paddocks with all his new friends. This gave us such peace of mind to know that his holiday was just as enjoyable as ours. So glad to have found this lovely kennels and Donal cannot wait to visit again.
I have two energetic Springer Spaniels who have stayed with Allie when I've been away on business trips. It's a relief to know that they will be well looked after, get plenty of exercise and have the chance to socialise with other dogs. I can tell from their reactions when I arrive at Allie's that they're happy to be there and that they're really fond of her. It really is like a home from home for Joey and Susie. Highly recommended.
I don't know who loves Allie's Kennels more - us or our dogs! When we drop them off they charge inside with barely a backward glance, and when we collect them they are grinning and happy. We've used many kennels over the years, in four countries, and Allie's is the best by a long shot because every aspect of a dog's well-being has been taken into account. The kennels themselves are purpose-built and fantastic - spacious, light, extremely well-designed and absolutely spotless. The outside areas are a dream, with plenty of space for running around and socialising with other guests, yet fully enclosed. Allie takes the dogs for long rambles and as we all know, a well-exercised dog is a happy dog. If you want complete peace of mind that your dogs will be in the absolute best, most experienced and calm hands, and happy out while you're away, look no further than Allie's.
Heaven on earth for dogs... The level of care and attention that Allie gives each pet is second to none. The kennels are spotless, in a gorgeous location with fantastic walks and several outdoor areas for play time and socialising - there's even an agility course for your dog to try. Allie can send you photo updates and a pattern will quickly emerge of your dog(s) having the craic day after day!! So if you want your pet to have a fab time while you're on holiday, bring them to Allie's. I would entrust my dog to no one else.
The ultimate holiday for our gang – they jump out of the car, excited out of their minds on arrival. For the humans, it’s not just the high quality of the accommodation and exercise area, it’s your confidence in who’s taking care of them that matters so much – and Allie is has that in spades. From the secure outdoor space to the sleeping quarters, you know your dogs are having a good time – and you can totally relax on your break too.
I highly recomend Allies Kennel. She is a very profesional sweet woman. We left our 4months doggy in the kennels. Allie was very kind with her and with us, she sent me messages and fotos of our litle girl. If we need to leave or baby somewhere again, we will call Allie.
Fantastic place! My dogs are somewhat awkward but they had a great time: they were relaxed and happy. I got regular updates. Professional, clean, fantastic grounds, the lot.
Our dogs love it here and are always excited to see Allie. Loads of fresh air, professional set up and great location.
Can’t recommend The Spaw highly enough. Derek and his team are excellent at what they do, providing a secure and safe service. My dog’s always happy and excited going there.
Great facilities and well run, I've a small dog and take the self wash option.
Thank you to all the lovely friendly staff @the spaw…What a great place to bring your dog to,for a wash…dropped him off and called back in a half hour so clean and fresh smelling…well done to all involved
We do the DIY micro bubble bath- the staff is so friendly and obviously amazing with dogs. We look forward to bringing our dog here every time- she always leaves so soft/smelling amazing
Genuinely cannot recommend enough, the customer service is unbelievably good! They are so communicative and friendly, nothing is a problem and having been to a few places in Cork I can 100% say they are the nicest and best to deal with and her fur is immaculate
Great service would highly recommend. All staff are great, helpful and friendly top service!
Visited The Spaw for the first time today. They had great facilities, the staff were so kind and helpful, and our two dogs left looking and smelling great. I also saved time since they take care of the clean up too. Really enjoyed our visit!
Great service, very reasonable prices, very friendly staff
No fuss, quick wash and dry for Charlie, So easy with hydraulic washing units! Friendly and helpful staff, great value too! Highly recommend👍 …
First appointment today with our dog,delighted with the service and will definitely go back.. Staff so nice and accommodating. Well done .
