Ann Marie was the perfect house sitter for us. We were so lucky that she had this area in mind for a visit. Our dog took to her right away and she was even willing to give him some temporary medications. Not an easy task! Our house was left in excellent shape. Ann Marie kept us informed of our pet's welfare and she was extremely reliable. I strongly recommend her as a responsible house and pet sitter.
We had a lovely time in Bourn at Jen's amazing home. Maggie and Jack are the loveliest labradors, so affectionate and easy to care for! Lovely walking routes straight from the house, and it is a real countryside haven. I would 100% recommend this sit!
Amber was great at communicating with me and provided helpful instructions. Enzo is a sweetheart and does the happiest pounce when he’s excited. He is very well behaved, smart, and great on leash. I loved walking with him to the beach! Definitely recommend this sit!
Our family loved spending the weekend with Rosie (and had fun looking at the fish). Joe & Janice were very welcoming and accommodating. Rosie was easy to care for. She loved going hiking with us and receiving lots of cuddles from our three boys. Their home was clean and comfortable for us. We’d love to care for Rosie again if we are in the area.
I had the privilege of spending a couple of days with Bella while Stacy and John got away for the weekend. She was very sweet and no trouble at all. The house was clean and beautiful. Didn’t get a chance to enjoy the porch, since it was so hot. Maybe another time. Just a heads up, be advised that there are many steps involved in getting into the house via the front porch or garage. However, if that is a problem for you, you can always enter and exit at the back door which is yard level. If you enjoy the hunt of thrifting, there is a Goodwill and a ThriftSmart nearby. Nolensville is near Franklin, Brentwood, Murfreesboro and Nashville, if you want to branch out to other towns in the area. If you get the chance to spend some time with Bella, take it. You will enjoy the sit and wish that you had more time there.
Wow what an amazing time we had here! Gerry and John are very generous and thoughtful hosts. They have a beautiful house and garden in a very picturesque village with lots of lovely places nearby to explore. Lots of walks directly from the house too. They left us really useful notes to refer to when needed and the house has everything you could want for a very comfortable stay. We fell in love with Harry! He is such an affectionate cat and loves his cuddles on the sofa in the evenings. An absolute delight! If you're lucky enough to be offered a house sit for Gerry just say yes, you will not be disappointed.

Truffy loves spending a holiday with Flor.
We sent our 6 month old pup out to Niall recently. He had such a good experience when I went to collect him he didn’t want to come home with me! Was nervous leaving him for the first night but was reassured he would be totally safe. Niall is such a lovely man with a great set up for the dogs. You can tell he really cares for animals. Will be 110% sending our pup out again.
A lovely place for our pets to relax and enjoy there stay, very caring owners and very clean and well looked after kennels, one of his favourite places x
Fantastic place to leave your pets, Niall and Martina really looked after our two dogs so well. Thanks guys.
One of the better places to leave your pet. Very good and the anim are well looked after. Ran by very nice caring people. It's like our dog is on his holidays
Top class, Niall & Martina are so kind & caring . Cannot recommend them enough ,
Niall solved our problem of finding a safe ' holiday' venue for our four legged lady.so happy to leave her knowing she is well cared for.
I have been leaving my dogs here for a number of years now and I wouldn't leave them anywhere else. True dog lovers Niall and Martina, dogs are always well loved and cared for.
Best doggy daycare I have ever used!! My dog loves it here and I know he is being well looked after. The facilities are 1st class.
Family bussines, lovely staff. Our dog loves them and gets excited every time we go there. I won't leave my dog in any other place
Lovely, Lovely fella. Had the cats there for over two weeks. They came back in great condition.
My pug, Bobby has been going to Trails for Tails, for quite some time now and he has spent many nights boarding with T for T. I truly cannot recommend and praise Connie and Trails for Tails, highly enough. I have always felt 100% comfortable knowing Bobby is with Connie because then I knew he was in safe hands and he being in his happy place. Trails for Tails is a home from home environment for all the dogs and every dig is treated as one of their own. Very highly recommended!!!
Coco has been spending 3 days a week in puppy day care with Trails for Tails and we have nothing but positivity for Connie and her business. She offers such a personal service incluing walks / home day care and home boarding that we shall miss her so much! If you need a reliable, professional kind person to love your dog like you do... this is the place for you!
Connie is a remarkable and highly qualified person, who really cares about the dogs in her charge. She is also a meticulous administrator when it comes to running her business. Our 5-year old chihuahua, Pixie, has been with Connie for daycare and boarding since she was 6 months old and she couldn't have received better care. To Pixie, and to us, Connie is a member of our extended family. 100% recommended!
We have been using Trails for Tails for 5 years and have been extremely pleased with them. We sent our puppy there as soon as he was old enough to enable him to be socialised and have longer walks than we could give him. The posts that Connie puts on Facebook/Instagram for the owners are a delight. We know that our pets are happy and enjoying themselves. Monty goes in tail up and wagging. He comes home tired but very happy. We cannot recommend Trails for Tails strongly enough. It will be difficult to find someone as trustworthy and we will miss Connie enormously. ◦
Bill went to daycare for 6 years with Connie and now she has our new puppy Bailey. Bailey gets so excited when he sees her coming up the drive. He comes home exhausted because of all the playtime with the other dogs and the lovely walks he has with Connie. I would highly recommend Connie, it’s a true home from home service. Connie has given us many tips and professional help with raising our new puppy. 10/10 service. Thank you
Connie has been looking after our Mini Schnauzer Eva for the past 4 years both in day care and home boarding. We cannot rate Connie enough, not only does she collect Eva and take her on beautiful walks with videos posted on Facebook so we can see her but drops her back exhausted and content. Her home boarding is outstanding and we know Eva is safe and loved and we can enjoy peace of mind on holiday knowing Eva is having a great holiday too! You are so lucky to be having Connie coming home to Ireland we are devastated to be losing her and her amazing dog care. Eva will miss her cuddles and care and we only have to see how excited she is when she sees Connie to know how well cared for she is. Good luck Connie !
I cannot recommend Connie and her services enough, TFT is a trustworthy, safe and flexible service. With a owner which really cares about the animals. I recommend 100%
Connie minded my dog for my wedding in August and was absolutely brilliant. My dog would be nervous so it was great to know she was in such caring hands with Connie!
Amazing service provided by Connie at Trails for Tails. Professional reliable and a true lover of dogs. Extremely knowledgeable about all breeds of dogs.
I have 3 puggies and I know that they are loved and cared for as if they were at home with me. I am able to leave them in the knowledge that they are "home from home" without any worries ❣️
Our dogs enjoy their time with Margaret, Helen and all the staff, as they are kind and caring. The dogs invariably wag their tails, as we arrive and travel up the driveway. We are sent videos, plus daily texts updating us of status. Having somewhere safe, welcoming and a 'home from home' is so reassuring as leaving them is a hardship.
Holly and Molly really enjoyed their 10 day holiday with Perfect Paws. They are looking forward to their next 5 star experience there 👍🏻👍🏻 …
Fantastic facilities Great attention to your pet Lovely caring staff Spotless clean Excellent grooming service My dog is so comfortable and happy there.
Helen, Margaret and staff are always so helpful, friendly and caring. I know my dog is well looked after because when we take him out if the car he runs straight to Helen for his hug and great welcome. It is also comforting to get regular updates by text when we are away and it's great to know he is doing well. All in all I wouldn't leave my fur baby with anyone else and highly recommend Perfect Paws !!
First time leaving our dogs with Perfect Paws and thought it was great. Felt really comfortable leaving them with Margaret and the dogs seemed to really enjoy their time here too!
Great place. Lovely staff, my dog was safe and happy on return.
Absolutely amazing team. We wouldn't leave our dog with anyone else. Helen and Mags are truly the best to care for your pet. We are always happy to leave our dog knowing she'll be so well looked after.
First time for my dog who is not used to other dogs. I was worried but I got constant updates and a video. Will definitely be using for next holiday.
Always have our dog stay here when we're away, extremely friendly staff, our dog Roxy loves it here, she loves her walks and perfect paws also let's you know how your pet is doing which is great, would highly recommend perfect paws your pet is in safe hands here.
My dogs Hooper and Taz had a great time ! Great to go on holidays with complete peace of mind knowing my dogs are in good hands . Highly recommend
Orla is just amazing. We have booked our cat and dog in with her and both settled very well and came home very happy after their stay. Would highly recommend and will use Guillamore Kennels again
5 🌟 PLUS Recommendation... Orla treats OUR furbabies like family... takes time to understand all personalities, animal and human 😊... her knowledge and experience is so reassuring.. Her facilities offer security, safety and socialisation.. every guest receives home from home love and care ❤.. …
I've used Guillamore Cattery many times. Orla is great and it's obvious she really cares. I'd highly recommend.
Orla was amazing with our cat monty, so accommodating and reassuring (first time ever using a kennel). Orla even helped secure him in the cat for the journey home. Would highly recommend Guillamore kennels and, will definitely be using them in the future!
Thank you Orla for looking after Sammy again for us Would highly recommend the cattery Orla loves all the animals and treats them like her own Such a pleasure to deal with Until the next time
Cannot speak highly enough about this kennels. There is proper individual care & attention given to every single animal. Place is clean, tidy & very secure. Owner is a top class lady!
Excellent...our dog stayed 3 nights and was very happy here. Orla was excellent and ke p t up informed on how she was getting on.
Facilities for cats great, but mainly the care the owner has, made me a return client.
Orla is fantastic and her service is top class I can not recommend orla enough

Let people who really love your dog take care if them!
It's a really nice erea for ur dog
Care well
Timaru Big thumbs up, the place to go if you’re looking for a new pet. I initially contacted Fionnuala about adopting a second greyhound having seen a lovely looking dog on the website. From the get go Fionnuala was so helpful and informative. She asked us about our lifestyle, routine, location, people and animals living in the house etc etc and quickly advised that the dog I was looking at would probably not be a good fit. A few days later she sent me photos and a description of Ruby, who has been living with us just over two weeks now. Throughout the whole process Fionnuala was so helpful and accommodating. First we visited Ruby in Limerick and were able to bring both our kids and our other greyhound to that meeting. We met Ruby in a nice quiet room and were able to sit down and get to know her for a good half hour. Both dogs (and children) were allowed off lead to sniff (and lick) us all with Fionnuala and James quietly watching to ensure all went smoothly. We took Ruby home a week after first meeting her and again, Fionnuala has been so helpful and attentive. She texted morning and evening for the first few days to make sure everything was going well and then once a day for the rest of the first week and checks in every couple of days now, so I never felt like I was bothering or annoying her with questions . Most importantly, following Fionnuala’s advice on what greyhound would suit us has paid off in spades. Ruby has settled in amazingly well in our very noisy house. She is happy and confident but also relaxed and gentle with our kids. Our current greyhound is happier for having company and the two of them potter around the garden like little old ladies despite being quite young! Judging by the happy and healthy dogs there, it’s evidently clear that Fionnuala loves and nurtures the dogs in her care. She knows each dog and knows what kind of environment they will thrive in.
I cannot recommend Fionnuala, James and all at Timaru Kennels enough. From the first moment I went to Timaru Kennels, I was welcomed with warmth and compassion by Fionnuala and James. They took the time to understand my preferences, lifestyle, and answer any questions I had. Their dedication to matching the right dog with the right owner was evident, and they made the entire rehoming process smooth and stress-free.The kennels do a fantastic job of caring for the dogs in their care. Coco was well-groomed, healthy, and had received all necessary vaccinations. I received her passport too. I cannot express enough gratitude to the team at Timaru Kennels for their dedication to caring so well for every animal that they can. Their compassion, professionalism, and genuine love for these animals shine through in everything they do. Thank you Timaru Kennels, Coco has brought so much happiness to my home.
We could probably write so much but will try and reflect important points. We are a family of 4 with 2wee kids 7 years and another 18 months. We always wanted a Dog but didn’t know where to start. Got in touch with IRGT and they put us in touch with Timaru Kennels (Fionnula) who understood our family circumstances and working schedules. We were matched with Xena our gorgeous girl and we were provided with all the details, information about her and all our queries were answered in absolute professional way. Fionnula had been so helpful in making this whole process so easy and it was a wonderful experience. Finally the day came when we drove from Co. Monaghan to Co. Limerick to meet the pet And she was exactly what we were hoping her to be🥰 We had a tour of Kennels and got to see the other dogs and we must say they were in excellent condition, cared for and looked very happy. We rightly knew that we were in right place to get our first greyhound! We brought Xena home and she settled in well. All her vaccines and other stuff was up to date. We got her passport too. And after few weeks we received the transfer of ownership too in the post. Hats off to Timaru Kennels for doing such a fab job, it’s not easy to match a dog to a new family with kids, different lifestyle, working hours , etc etc when it can be so complicated, but Fionnula knows her dogs what can I say- more than we could imagine! Xena has settled in so well, it’s been 1 month now and during this time Timaru Kennels have been in touch with us whenever we needed their help- providing support to us being new dog owners, really great help! Thanks for everything 😊 We will be back very soon to adopt another Greyhound from Timaru Kennels and we highly recommend their services. A fine piece of advice- Get a dog that’s recommended by Kennel, you’d never regret it! Keep up the good work Timaru Kennels 🙏🤘👌
We have been sending our collie to Timaru Kennels for the last 2 years. He is a dog that doesn't 'take' to everyone, however he loves it at Timaru Kennels. Fionnuala and James clearly have a gift with animals. Buddy is always so happy to see them and always looks great when we collect him. We can't recommend the guys at Timaru Kennels enough, they are exceptional.
My Dog loves it at Timaru Kennels. Both Fionnuala & James are so obliging and are naturally kind and caring to the dogs 🐶 Highly Recommend this Kennel and their wonderful Service.. We will be back again soon 👍 …
We adopted our greyhound, Sharky, from this wonderful kennel three months ago, and we couldn't be happier. As first-time dog owners, we received invaluable advice and support from Fionnuala and James, making the transition smooth and enjoyable. Their dedication to the well-being of the dogs is evident, and they continue to be there for us whenever we need help. Highly recommend for anyone looking to adopt a well-cared-for greyhound!
Superb service from Timaru Kennels. Have used multiple other kennels in Limerick but they are the best by far. Our dog looks forward to going there.
Thank you IRGT and Fionnuala for helping us re-home the perfect companion for our family particularly with our toddler. Fionnuala clearly has a passion for the best welfare of animals under her care.
I adopted a beautiful greyhound two weeks ago via the Irish Retired Greyhound Trust from Timaru Kennels and cannot thank Fionnuala and her husband enough for their care, advice, and support. They truly love these incredible dogs so much and do everything in their power to find them excellent homes, providing support to the new owners from before adoption to way way after. These wonderful gentle dogs are beautifully cared for and prepared for their new lives as domestic pets in the best way possible. I will always be grateful for the help and support I have received, but most of all for the gorgeous boy who has come into my life through Timaru Kennels. You two are very special people 💕
James & Fionnuala are really animal caring people and our Irish setter Rosie struggled with kennels in general but found her place now at Timaru when we need to be away. They have a great setup and you can tell Rosie is at ease with them at all times. Thanks as always guys for your care when called upon!
The experience we have had with Audrey from start to finish was second to none! Contact response was super quick, Audrey is very efficient. The quick drop off was so easy and Audrey’s love for dogs is clear as day. Audrey kept me posted throughout the weekend with their adventures and my mind was at ease from the minute I text her to look after her. Nala settled in with Audrey straight away and came home content, with her bed washed and everything! Thanks so much Audrey we will be seeing you again soon.
I was able to get in contact with Audrey about taking my husky blue for a couple of nights. As a typical husky he is very hyper and full of energy but not when he came home! He had gone on so many walks and runs with Audrey that he was exhausted when he got home! It was great blue loved it, so much so he nearly didn’t want to leave! Audrey was also great over the couple of nights with communication as when I text so see how he was getting on she snapped back a couple of pictures which really put me at ease. 5 out of 5 service from blue and myself will definitely be back! 👏
Audrey took the absolute best care of our 2 dogs while we were away , she kept regular contact and sent pictures everyday which we wanted. They were walked morning and evening, when they weren't out and about they were cosied up at her fire on lovely beds. It meant so much to us to know the dogs were with a genuine dog lover and they will absolutely be going back to her again.
We were away for three days, and Audrey, who minded our dog Obi, was amazing. It is very clear that she has a great love for all animals, which really put our minds at ease. We could really enjoy our holiday knowing Obi was in a home where he was being well looked after. I got lots of lovely updates each day about how he was doing, which we loved seeing. Thank you, Audrey, for being so kind and caring with our dog. We will be recommending your dog-sitting service to our family and friends.
Audrey was excellent with our dog Louie. We were very happy she accepted him on very short notice .We got lovely updates while we were away, which was excellent for us, knowing Louie was very happy .Will send Louie. Thanks, Audrey
Left Lizzie with Audrey on short notice she was welcomed as one of the family straight into this homely environment the setting and facilities are ideal and she even brought Lizzie into Limerick city centre Monday morning there are people just born to look after your pets Audrey is one of these special few and would not hesitate in leaving Lizzie with her again this really was a 5/5 experience from start to finish.
