Georgia and James were amazing pet carers! I had been let down at relatively short notice and this lovely young couple literaly rescued me from a very stressful situation. The communicated well and efficiently prior to the sit. They arrived on time and took on board what our dogs needed on a day to day basis. While we were away, they sent regular updates and little videos of our very happy pets. We returned to an immaculate house and very, very contented dogs! What more could you ask for? I HIGHLY recommend and hope I can persuade them to return for us again in the future. Thank you James and Georgia!
Em was a great house and catsitter. She is very organised, an excellent communicator and great with the cats. She kept the house immaculate too and was very easy to deal with. The cats would welcome her back anytime!

If you have an exotic pet I highly recommend using Little Pets Holiday Home! Nell is absolutely superb and so considerate taking care of our rabbit Lola when we are travelling. She goes the extra mile in ensuring Lola is well looked after, provided her with attention and treats, and even provides us with updates (texts and vids) while we are away. She is also very affordable in comparison to most pet hotels out there! Your pet will be in good hands with her!
I highly recommend Little Pet Holidays Home! Our experience was amazing. Really happy we found Nell. She took exceptional care of our 2 guinea pigs while we were on holiday. Throughout their stay, Nell kept us updated with videos and pictures. Seeing our guinea pigs looking so happy and relaxed made our time away so much easier. We will definitely use Little Pet Holidays Home again in the future.
So glad we found Nell at the Little Pets Holiday Home as she looked after our two guinea pigs so well while we were on holidays. She sent us updates with photos/videos and gave us some nutritional advice on their dry food as well as clipping their claws. They had garden time and plenty of grass/herbs. A great experience from start to finish. Would highly recommend. Thanks again Nell we will come back again 👍
I highly recommend Little Pets Holiday home. My 2 guinea pigs had the best holiday and were very well looked after and cared for. I loved getting the photo and video updates to see how they were enjoying themselves and the nice food they had. I will definitely be using this service again.
Our two guinea pigs Toffee and Crumbs stayed with Nell for the second time this summer, and each time our piggies came back very relaxed and happy, so I can definitely recommend Little Pets Holiday Home. Nell is very experienced and knowledgeable about guinea pigs and takes really good care of them. She makes sure that she knows all about their usual food routine at home and will follow it when they are with her, even giving supplements and medication hasn’t been an issue for her which I was anxious about before as one of our piggies was recently diagnosed with a heart condition. Thank you!
Absolutely fantastic service! We left our dwarf hamster Chestnut with Nell & Vince for 5 weeks. Communication was brilliant with weekly updates along with photos and videos. Nell also provided tips and nutritional advice which we have taken onboard. We also opted for pick up and drop off service thanks to Vince. We are delighted to have Chestnut home and really appreciate how well he was looked after. I will definitely use and recommend Little Pets Holiday Home in future. Thanks again for everything. Michelle, Caoimhe, Sadhbh & Chestnut.
We left our pet Rabbit, Flopsie a few times now and she has loved it there and was really well cared for. Nell is very knowledgeable on caring for rabbits Flopsie had lots of room to run around and play. We also got updates on how she was keeping and eating, the kids loved the picture and video updates. Would definitely recommend little pets holiday home
Nell was great with our two piggies cookie and Gizmo! She sent us pictures and videos so we felt connected with them throughout and could enjoy our own holiday knowing they were being so well looked after. Nell also gave us lots of great advice and tips as we are New Guinea pig owners. This really is a home away from home for your pets - I would highly recommend little pets holiday home! I’ve attached one of the pictures Nell sent us of our piggies in their holiday home 🤩
Nell does such a great job. I have left my 3 guinea pigs with her on two seperate occasions and both times they have received great care. I received several pictures and videos of how my 3 Guinea pigs are doing and they are always so cheerful and happy. I couldn't recommend Nell enough she really is amazing 😊 …
Nell was brilliant with my two rabbits 🐰🐰 It was the first time I had left them in boarding, but I felt so comfortable as soon as I saw their pen and outdoor area! Nell sent photos and videos during their stay which I really appreciated ☺️ I'll definitely be booking again! …
I booked my dog in for daycare on WhatsApp and got a confirmation but when we arrived the next morning another girl told us they were fully booked. She explained she was away and the booking should not have been confirmed. Not a very professional way to run a business.
Thank you to Woofys for minding our Golden Doodle puppy Ted while we were away. He came back very happy after making new friends and well looked after - would recommend.
Experienced staff with practical skills that understand the uniqueness of each animal. Competitive prices. This family business also gives back to the community.
My dog goes twice a week to Woofys daycare. He absolutely loves it. Niamh and the girls are so easy to deal with. When we got him he was an extremely nervous dog, the first week at Woofys was tough for him but a week later he loved it! Just over a year sending him and always feel at ease leaving him in good hands
We were extremely happy with Woofys and glad we found such a great place, they looked after our dog Toro very well for 3 weeks , they have lots of outdoor space and bring the dogs for regular walks in the fields which is what our dog needs as well as interaction with other dogs. Also they sent us photos every week of our dog out and about which was great peace of mind that he was enjoying himself. Our dog loves Woofys and we are more than happy to leave him there in the future.
If you want peace of mind when you are away, Niamh is the one to trust with your pets :) She know my GSD very well as she has one of her own. Im very thankful to have found her and woofys!
Woofy's looked after my dog for nearly a week I would highly recommend this kennels my dog was looked after brilliantly and had an amazing stay, and made lovely fury friends along the way ❤️
My dog goes here when we are away. He loves it, goes running in. The staff are lovely. Easy booking system. Can get little updates from them if you are nervous about leaving your pet
Our lab Mac absolutely loves woofys. He goes every day and has done for nearly 2.5 years. Niamh and the crew are brilliant. Couldn't recommend this place enough.
Excellent care and attention to my dog. Lots of fun and interaction, using this company for over 7 years now, daycare & kennels. Wouldn't go anywhere else. Drop off and collection very pratical
Our dog Mia stayed with Adrian for 2 weeks. She is home almost 2 wks. She came home a fit and happy dog. Adrian sent me photos and didn't mind keeping me up to date on Mia's stay with him. He collected and delivered Mia home. He's a very nice and interesting person and has a great understanding of dogs which is assuring. He's extremely punctual. We hope to have Mia stay with Adrian again soon.
Great service!!! Adrian looked after my golden doodle for 9 days and I was completely at ease the whole time. We were kept up to date with pictures and how my dog was getting on. I would highly recommend!! Thanks Adrian
Thank you so much for looking after my 2 little Maltese so well. They were beautifully groomed on their return to me and I was very happy with the care they received. I can highly recommend Little Delights pet boarding.
I highly recommend Little Delights for pet boarding. My dog Bella gets so excited everytime she sees Adrian! We really enjoy the at home boarding as our dog does much better in a home environment. He provides updates and photos which is so helpful for my peace of mind while away. From the moment we met Adrian at the complimentary meet and greet prior to her first stay I could tell she would be in good hands. You can tell he has an extensive knowledge of dogs and truly cares about their comfort and well being. The collection and drop off service is always prompt and very handy for organizing around travel. If you are looking for somewhere to board your dog in a home setting or someone to care for your animal Little Delights is a fantastic option!
I recently contacted Adrian for dog boarding. We had a meet and greet. Adrian is a lovely man and shows true passion for dogs/animals. Our dog Hugo stayed for 9 days with Adrian, I received photos and updates on Hugo while on holiday. This gave me peace of mind. I came home to a very happy boy. I highly recommend Adrian.. I am so happy that I have found someone I can trust to take care of my dog.
I left my dog and cat in Adrian’s care and he did a wonderful job looking after them both. The dog stayed with him while the cat remained at home. I was very happy with the updates and service and the animals were very well cared for. I would have no hesitation in recommending Adrian to mind your fur babies
Adrian has been looking after my 2 cats for the last few years. He gives such a fantastic service and it is great peace of mind knowing they are well looked after when I am away. He sends a text after his visit so I know they have been fed and everything is ok. I recommend Adrian and Little Delights if you are looking for a pet sitter!
Adrian provides an absolutely fantastic service, he is reliable and is so great with our dog, so great in fact she gets so excited when Adrian collects her! We have been using Adrian since we got our dog during covid, it’s very refreshing to know our dog is being looked after with such care when we are away. I could not recommend Adrian enough.
Adrian is excellent! He's been minding our pets for several years now and both our cat and dog are very comfortable with him. He's reliable and very trustworthy. We highly recommend Little Delights pet sitting and dog walking services.
I have been a client of Little Delights for 10 years and can highly recommend Adrian, the owner of the company. He is utterly reliable, trustworthy, he has a natural affinity with animals and has been a trusted minder of my little dog for 10 years. I would recommend Adrian without hesitation.
Cannot recommend these enough, have had our dogs here multiple times and always been great. Our larger dog has a bad leg post surgery and they have always been accommodating. They tend to eat their bed the first night but the guys here always make sure they have a spare duvet to give them.
Our dogs have been attending Top Dog Kennels since 2016 and have always received 5 Star treatment. One of our dogs, Belle, suffered a traumatic experience in her previous home and had a number of trust issues when she arrived to us. However, whilst being kenneled at Top Dogs over the years, her confidence has grown around other dogs and people. I noticed her regress during Covid due to not being able to go to Top Dog. Both my dogs love going there and walk off with the staff wagging tails and never looking back at us. It's their home away from home!! Thank you Margot and all your lovely staff for a top class service.
Best care for our dog! My pup attends hydrotherapy sessions here for 8 months now. We're delighted with the professionalism, care and attention he gets here. Nicest crew and they did wonders to the condition of his hips! Vet surgeon confirmed they did an outstanding job with him and it's amazing how much he's improved since we started attending hydroteraphy here twice a week. Cannot recommend this place enough. ❤️
Great guys. We have our dog Sasha, a Collie, in for the hydrotherapy sessions and massage after she suffered a vestibular issue. I would highly recommend for dogs who need some rehabilitation. Sasha is almost back to her old self thanks to the great work by the therapists here. So knowledgeable and you can stay and watch what's going on which was a relief 😌. They also recommend exercises for home so you can be involved in your best pal's recovery. Well done guys. Can't thank you enough. 🤗
Would not recommend if you like to feel reassured that your dog is truly being taken care of. There is no option to view the actual facilities and your dog is taken from you / brought back to you in the entrance car park. No updates are provided while your dog is there, and when we collected our dog the staff member complained that she barked too often which we know only ever happens when she is left alone constantly or for long periods of time. Wouldn’t use again.
Have been attending hydrotherapy sessions for our Golden Retriever. Amie and Gang have been doing an amazing job to help recover muscle to his leg after it was broken.
Left my dog here a few times and they seemed ok. The last time we were advised by one of the staff to get a bark collar for him if we wanted to bring him back again. I asked them what a bark collar was and they implied they were humane. I checked with our vets who said these devices are not classed as humane and they would never recommend them. I'm not comfortable leaving him anywhere that would recommend using that sort of device. Especially as our dog almost never barks at home!
We recently left our dog in for 10 days. He had never been in kennels before and we were very impressed. He seemed very happy and was in great spirits when we collected him Whenever I text I always received an update and since getting him home he has been alot.calmer meeting other dogs so the socialisation was excellent for.him. the only downside is its always so busy so hard to get a spot 😉thank you for minding Busby so well.
We have left our fur baby at Kennels and Day care at Top Dog several times now. She seems very happy to be dropped off and the staff are getting to know her now. Very professionally run. Thank you Margot and team.
My dog absolutely loves his stays at Top Dogs. He doesn’t even look back when I drop him off, he runs straight towards the play area to have fun with his little pals! Margot and team take such good care of all their “guests”, and I really appreciate that peace of mind.
A safe and secure kennel to leave your dog. Mick is very welcoming and friendly. He looks after the dog as you would yourself and keeps you informed about how the dog is getting on.
Michael is a great person, small family kennel.
10/10 would definitely recommend Newcastle boarding kennels! Mick is a really nice guy to deal with, has great passion for dogs and put me at ease when I dropped off my two for the weekend. The kennels were clean and well looked after and the dogs were safely separated which was a big thing for my peace of mind.
Mick is a lovely guy, very personable with a clear love for dogs. We know our dog is in great hands. We highly recommend
Our dogs were very well looked after here. Would highly recommend. We will definitely use these kennels again.
First class service our dog wilton was so scared of fireworks and when they were bad we could just bring wilton to the kennels and mick would be there and wilton would be so happy to see mick.kennels and heating were were brilliant and wilton made good friends with the other dogs we are so grateful to mick and his family highly recommend Newcastle Boarding Kennels thanks alot from Ann and Eddie
Michael shows a genuine love for dogs and mine was looked after brilliantly
Brilliant service. Big kennels and mick looks after the dogs very well. Highly Recommended
Great facilities. Very hands on.
Grat place to leave your beloved pets before you go on your holidays.20euro per dog and 10e per cat.
A kennel should be a place that takes care of your pets and not just a place where they sleep while you are away. You trust a kennel with the well-being of your dogs and expect them to be taken care of in case they become ill. Both of our dogs had infections when we picked them up. The owners refused to acknowledge that this happened on their watch and took no responsibility. Extremely disappointing and unprofessional!
Please do NOT leave your dogs here! I picked up my dogs, both with eye infections. its week three now and one is still. But the worst part was that when I gave the owners, Brendagh, feedback she denied it and basically accused me of lying! They are very unprofessional. I do not advise this place at all.
When I leave my dog Hunter with the kennels he is always looked after very well. He always is a happy dog going there. They send updates of how he is getting on, it's a home from home for Hunter.
West City Kennels & Cattery 👍 Owners and Staff are animal lovers! My dog has been looked after and loved while I am on holiday! Also my daughter's dog and my brothers dog!!! Dogs came home healthy and happy!! Trust me you would be lucky to get your pet into these Kennels!! A big thank you to west City Kennels for their service!!! …
West City Kennels & Cattery have been looking after our dog for years now (Casper), and we wouldn't feel comfortable leaving him anywhere else. I would highly recommend them 👌 …
Had left our pet at this place. We were updated daily but would have been better to get the updates proactively rather than us asking for it. Drop and pickup was very smooth. The vaccination cert for your pet is a must before you drop your pet.
To say we were nervous leaving our 7 month old puppy at a kennels while we were away for a weekend is an understatement, but the team here were fantastic. Mabel walked in without a second thought, was very clearly well cared for during her stay there, and was very happy and full of beans at collection time. Next time we have to go away, we know she'll be well cared for by the team here
Our little bichon has stayed here on a number of occasions, Alan and the team always look after her very well and she is absolutely full of beans when we come to collect her. I didn’t realise till recently that they do grooming too, so now I’m going to book her in for a groom with them. Thank you for providing a great place for our pets. I would just recommend adding a few pictures of the kennels on the website, as we are not allowed to go see them.
Great service, even with short notice, they still took my little girl on board as my sitter ended in hospital. Very much recommend
A well deserved 5 Star Review.I’ve left my Dog “Sam”here on several occasions & he’s so well looked after.He is greeted by very friendly & professional owners.I get him groomed during his stay & a brilliant job done.when I collect him he’s always very content & I know he’s been well looked after.Highly Recommended
Sheila is a delight. We just collected our labradoodle after a 10day stay with Sheila, not for one second were we worried about our dog while we were away. We picked up a very happy dog. Thank you Sheila.
Shelia is the best. Not only does she mind the dogs with great care but she is also very experienced with dogs. My dog had a small health condition which she identifed and we got resolved. Couldn't recommend her enough.
We have had our dog Milo in these kennels for the last 9 years and he loves it so much. He always has a great holiday here when we are away. He loves Shelia, Mick and their family and they are really lovely people. I couldn't recommend these kennels highly enough.
A true escape for dogs when they are away from home. Sheila and family really understand dogs and want the best for them. Honest, thoughtful, and caring, I can't think of a better place to leave my two furballs.
Left our 2 dogs here for the first time,Sheila is brilliant,Dogs came home very happy,would highly recommend to anyone looking for a safe place for their dogs.
Sheila is a delight. Takes great care and gives good advice on your dog. Highly recommended.
Our dog has loved every time he's visited here - right from dropping him off he runs off with Sheila and doesn't look back!
Lovely lady real nice.
We never worry when we leave our Cockapoo with Sheila,
Very professional and dogs immediately settled. I think their looking forward to their next stay.
