Dog Sitters in Bishopstown

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

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!

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!🐾🐾💚 …

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!

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.

I cannot recommend these kennels highly enough. The absolute love of dogs is evident from the moment you drop until the moment you collect your exhausted happy pooch at the end of the day. Mention Irene and your dog will go wild to get there.

Irene and all her family are the best around when it comes to taking care of your dog. I have been with Irene now for over a year and use all her services and can say without a shadow of a doubt that they are the best dog kennel/doggie day care service around. I would highly recommend them as our dog is always happy and loves going here in fact all we have to do is say Irene's name and he is at the door barking to go to her.

Irene loves animals. Cares for them as if they were her own and really looks out for their best interest. The only person I would trust with my golden retriever pup. She jumps out of the boot of the car when we arrive and is excited to get going and she always comes back tired from having so much fun.

Irene and family go beyond any expectation in making my Lola enjoy and be safe in her kennels. Like always on our return frim holidays we find Lola happy, playful and so clean🤗. I couldnt be more satisfied with another service. …

Good communication, friendly staff. Easy pick up and drop off.

I came up to use your service this morning. Yes I do work in a daycare not a kennels. I was willing to give my own money but me and my dog were dealt with very unprofessionally. Therefore 1 star.

This is the best boarding and grooming that we have found. We have large dogs and they took them and boarded them with no issues. The dogs love them and have a great time when they are boarded there.

Irene is absolutely fantastic with dogs and helps dogs with various issues. She has turned my dog around and he adores her.

Really happy with the care Irene and her family give to Dreamer. Very professional and very loving towards Dreamer who always seems content after her day out or weekend.

Irene is atrocious, says alot when they're the only place taking bookings when everywhere else is booked out, I'm not even gonna write out my experience with then because I'll be here all day.

Our mixed breed 2.5 year old dog Dusty is a member of Creedons doggie daycare since he was a young pup. He is addicted to it. He gets so excited when I drop him off. I love seeing the photos of him on the seesaw, outdoor area or waiting patiently for treats. As a high energy dog, it’s just what he needs. He always has a great day.

It's great. The puppy is extremely happy there. The only problem is the smell. I know it's tough to get it out, but the dog smells terrible after 😬 otherwise great day care ☺️ …

Our beautiful Labrador Rocky has been using Creedons since he was 6 months . What an amazing fun ride it has been . Rocky is now 16 months and I can honestly say Creedons have made him into a wiggly happy go lucky calm doggy. Initially plan was just to use the daycare for office days. I’m now fully remote and have decided to continue to use it twice a week . We also use the hotel when we can’t bring Rocky with us. The staff are so amazing - young energetic and just such doggy lovers. Whoever loves their dog and wants somewhere secure safe and fun to stay , choose Creedons 🥰

Kayley's home away from home, I cannot say enough good things about the whole team at Creedons. Whether its daycare or overnights, she always leaves so much happier than when she arrives. Cannot recommend them enough.

Our large Golden Retriever was well cared for at Creedon's and came back with a lovely shiny coat and a happy doggy. The location is easy to find, easy to park, and drop off/pick up was a breeze. We are new to Cork, and have tried several grooming services in the Douglas area and this is definitely our choice for regular grooming for our pup.

We recently used Creedon's Dog Care for private puppy training sessions. The training with Megan was absolutely fantastic. Megan is such as asset to Creedon's. She was extremely attentive towards our Golden Retriever and answered all questions we had. Megan showed us a good number of tips etc. and would definitely recommend her as a brilliant trainer. Her very helpful follow-up notes on each of the sessions we great. Excellent service

I would like to thank Creedons for Millie’s successful first spa day! From the onset she was treated lovingly and gently and my nerves were very well managed. She was exhausted at the end of the day, a happy puppy. It gave her a safe and pleasant experience where it could have been traumatising for a young puppy like her. It makes our next visit one of many more. Looking forward to booking for next month.

We have been using Creedons for student dog grooms for quite a while now. It’s been excellent on every visit. We have two large dogs that we would otherwise struggle to keep groomed without the reduced rate student grooms. The dogs are there for a full 3 hours. They are relaxed, happy and beautiful at the end but most importantly their ears and nails are tended to with no distress, and these are so important for their well-being. Without this service we would have less groomers qualifying with hands on experience. While it’s important to remember that these are student grooms and there may be tiny issues that need improvement, all of the students are supervised by very experienced teachers so the dogs are in good hands at all times. Excellent service.

Our dog absolutely loves going to Creedons Dogcare. He has been going for 9 months now and still bounds in the door all excited. Staff are amazing with the dogs and we know he is being very well cared for. He comes home exhausted from a day of fun. We've also used their grooming service and we're very happy with the results.

I have a Samoyed who usually gets groomed every 6-8 weeks. I moved and found Creedons grooming college when searching for a new groomer and I’m delighted I took the chance. The students all seemed very kind at drop-off and the groomer my dog had (Eimear, I think) was so lovely and really listened to my requests. These students have obviously been trained to a high level and it shows. Grooming a Samoyed is not an easy task because he has so much hair but he came out looking like he went to any fully-qualified groomer. Can’t wait to bring him back!

Recently started Creedon's Practical Dog Training course and I have to say I'm astounded by the level of care and engagement I have received. Could not be happier with how my overall experienced has been this far. Edit: One year later and I've completed the Professional Dog Training Instructor's course and I am on the path to setting up my own dog training business! It has been such an amazing time with Creedon's. Thank you to everyone involved in Creedon's for setting up such a phenomenal learning environment and guiding me through these courses. Personally it means so much to me to have found not only something I want to dedicate myself to doing but to have found so many like-minded wonderful people! I'm certain that I've hit on the right path for me!

I had my two dogs groomed with students in Creedons today as part of the grooming training. Over the years I've been to many groomers, the last of which was extremely expenisve and put one of my dogs in the vet.. the cuts and care both dogs received today are the best they've ever had, we are so thrilled. I just wanted to extend my thanks and share how impressed I was with their workmanship. If the opportunity arises I would happily pay full price to visit either of the groomers again.

I’ve been using Creedons Daycare and recently the dog training classes and I e found the level of service exceptional. I happily I trust the care of my dog to the professional friendly staff regularly and she loves her visits there. From the training sessions I’ve learned so much and ironed out the minor behaviour issues we were having with great advice.

Thanks Elaine for grooming our dog Lola. She did an amazing job. The right amount was taken off everywhere without it being too short. It was just perfect! We were delighted! Elaine was great to deal with, had a lovely friendly manner and was a pleasure dealing with her. I look forward to coming to the college again for grooming.

We really enjoyed the puppy training class and Coco definitely benefited from it. We found the trainers very informative and they possessed a wealth of knowledge. Everyone was very friendly and professional and there was a real welcoming feeling.

The staff are very friendly and clearly really love dogs. Our dog jumps up to the staff & can’t wait to get inside because he always has a great time at Creedons. The staff are very knowledgeable about all breeds of dogs. Highly recommend.

Fantastic service. Both of my dogs were groomed with the students in Creedons college & they were done brilliantly despite both dogs being anxious dogs they came home very relaxed and perfectly groomed.

I have used this grooming service many times and I am very pleased with the service they provide. Groomers are always so kind and courteous and make the dogs welcome and put them at ease. Will definitely use again

Just completed Into. To Professional Dog Care as I am starting my journey to hopefully becoming a trainer. It was perfect for me to start out with given I have experience with animals. At first I wasn't 100% sure it was saturated with enough in-depth info. Then the 4th class clarified this courses perfection with an adequate level of physiology. Currently doing Comprehensive Canine Communication Cert. and loving that too! Both are online so it's great to learn at my own pace at home during lockdowns. Creedons College has other insightful courses too. Nanci and her team have done a fantastic job.

Just finished the "on leash reactivity" course online. Very professional, insightful, helpful and learned more than I thought I would. Nanci goes that bit deeper I.e front/hind brain stimulus.. which in turn helps you understand even more about the reason your dog reacts certain ways. I love how these courses are all about the dogs and rewarding them positively and building up the trust bank. Well done Creedons College, thank you Nanci.

Joe was really great. It's clear that he's really great with dogs. He minded our two for a few days, took great care of them and we got a photo every day! Would recommend Joe to anyone.

Joes love for and commitment to his four-legged clients is clearly evident from the quality of his service. I can always be confident that when I leave my two pets in his care, they will be well-treated, given ample exercise and enrichment and will feel secure under his care. Thank you, Joe, for your amazing pet-sitting and walking services. Pictured below, a very happy client!

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👍 …
