Dog Sitters in Dunboyne

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.

Melissa was such a great help on our wedding day. From the very beginning we knew Alfie would be in good hands. Melissa came out to meet him at our house and Alfie just loved her. She picked him up on the morning of the wedding and brought him to our ceremony, it was so great to have him there and Melissa made it all so seamless. Melissa made Alfie a lovely bow tie and We were provided with great photos throughout the day when we wasn’t with us to ease our mind and know he was behaving! I would recommend Melissa to everyone, she made our day unforgettable.

Melissa was absolutely fantastic as the dog sitter for our wedding day. She took such wonderful care of our dog Morris, he seemed so happy and comfortable throughout! Melissa brought Morris around to see our guests and got him to pose perfectly for photos with us. After that, she took care of Morris overnight, giving us peace of mind that he was in good hands. We couldn't be happier with the care and attention Melissa provided and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter for their special day. Thank you, Melissa! Ruth and Richard (married April 2024)

Melissa was an absolute DREAM! Our little baby cooper was so well looked after for 3 days over our wedding. She brought him to our ceremony and was the star of the show. She even took little videos and pictures of him that our photographer missed. I couldn’t recommend Petigo enough. Melissa even has her own room which she stays in while the dogs are with her. I would give 10+++ stars if I could! So happy with the service and would recommend to anyone🤍🤍

Melissa minded our little doggy Bailey for 2 days over our wedding! Melissa came to visit Bailey before the big day and Bailey (who can be weird with people) took to Melissa instantly! Melissa brought Bailey along to the wedding for photos and couldn’t have been more helpful assisting in getting the pictures we wanted! Got updates with pictures over the 2 days and we were able to relax as we knew she was in great hands! Amazing experience with Melissa and minding our dog!🥰

Melissa came to look after Ralph during our wedding and we could not have been happier with the service. It was everything we needed and more. She preempted everything that both we and the dog would need. She thought of things that we hadn’t even considered and from the moment she arrived she took charge of the situation and was just like a wedding supplier of dreams. She just knew what was needed without even asking us. She had everything prepared, in case we forgot anything. She was thorough in communication whilst also assuring us once we had given her the info about what our dog needed she just took over from there and we didn’t need to do anything else. I just cannot recommend her enough. She was the most professional and reliable supplier from our whole wedding day and made it easier than we could have imagined. This is how every wedding supplier should be - no nonsense, no fuss and taking the responsibility of the service offered with no pressure on the couple on the day. I would recommend 100 times over, Melissa was so easygoing g an d professional and we were 100% assured our boy was in the best hands and we wouldn’t have looked after or handled him better ourselves.

Melissa looked after our dog for our wedding in Ballymagarvey Village. She was a pleasure to work with and had our dog literally eating out of the palm of her hand! She gave us frequent and regular updates, photos and videos of him to put our minds at ease. She also had the guests well trained so they didn't over excited our dog! We can't recommend Melissa enough!

Melissa was an absolute wonder! It wouldn’t have been our dream wedding without our cockapoo Bailey being there to join us. He’s really good and loves being part of things but gets nervous when he’s not with us. Melissa completely put him at ease, he was so happy to head off with her on the first evening and when she brought him back for the ceremony he was so well behaved and good for her I was amazed. Melissa has a clear talent for working with dogs, it’s obvious she loves it and if I could do it all again I would. I’d highly recommend Melissa for anyone looking to make their pet a part of their big day! Thank you so much!! Love, Christine, Ryan and Bailey

Melissa looked after our dog Charlie whilst we got married in Bellinter House in October. From the outset Melissa was brilliant - a thorough conversation beforehand made us feel that Charlie would be in safe hands. On the day of the wedding Melissa was amazing, she made sure that Charlie wasn't stressed or overwhelmed at any point and had him ready to go for photos with his personalised bow tie! Can't recommend Melissa highly enough! Great communication and professional service.

We were so glad to find Melissa to take care of our dog Ceoilí on our wedding day. It meant that Ceoilí could be there for our reception but that we knew he was well looked after during that time and for the evening and overnight. We are very selective about who we will leave our dog with but as soon as we met Melissa at her house, we knew he was in good hands. He also looked amazing in his custom made bandana and bow-tie to match the groom. Thanks for everything Melissa xx Sarah, Paul and Ceoilí

If I could give 10 stars I would. Melissa was a dream from start to finish. Having our dog at our wedding was so important to us but making sure he was well looked after even more so. Melissa covered both without a bother, the service she provides is incredible. She met Ralph in advance of the big day and let him familiarise himself with her house/ garden. She made the most beautiful bandana for him to wear on the day. Most importantly, she understood how special our dog is to us and treated him like a king for the whole weekend. We would have been lost without her.

Luna stayed here for a full week and she’s had a blast. Gayle takes really good care of all the dogs. You get daily updates on social media where you can see your furry friends enjoying their time with others on the green fields and all the safely fenced areas they have for the dogs. They also do doggy daycare, so there are always dogs so your little one has always some company. I will definitely will bring Luna back.

Thank you so much to Gayle and all the lovely team at Bridle House Hounds for yet again taking such good care of Ozzy. Ozzy is a nervous dog and the team went out of their way to make sure he was settled and happy during his week stay. Such peace of mind to know he is so well cared for when we are away. Thanks again 😊 …

Great standard of care. Amazing grounds and facilities. Gayle is treating every dog as part of her family. It is home away from home type of care. I wouldn't leave my dogs anywhere else. My 3 dogs, 2 labradors and collie cross stayed with Gayle for 14 nights while we were away on holidays and Gayle took great care of them and provided me updates and photos via WhatsApp . One of my dogs has few phobias, like not being able to walk on tile floors and Gayle always trying to make his stay comfortable by using throws on the floor. Highly recommend.

This is not your average kennel! Lovely house and grounds. Safe setup. Dogs are treated like their family pets! Thanks to Gayle and her team. Would recommend +++

Our dog Bailey suffered from anxiety due to being attacked, our dog trainer didn't work but taking our dogs to Bridle House Hounds has really helped. Both our dogs have a great time and we now take them once/twice a week. Highly recommended.

Gayle and team are an absolute dream to deal. Ted adores going here as well

Fantastic “Dog Hotel” as we call it. Our 2 friends are so very well cared for and loved in our absence . Complete peace of mind when they are with Gayle and her family . So happy to have found you ❤️

Excellent location and grounds. Friendly staff. Its like a doggy hotel. They looked after our 3, 2 labs and a collie, while we were away on hs for 10 days and we knew they were in good hands.

The sorroundings is so cleaned now specially the frontyard and backyard areas. Good job guys a perfect place for our pets. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED GUYS! 5 STAR RATINGS.

If you want your dog to get the very best of care and not have any worries while you're away, this is the place you leave it.

I went to Rabbit Rooms for bonding services when my rescue rabbits began fighting. As a novice bunny owner I felt very out of my depth and anxious of how to best help my buns. Fiona has been a fantastic resource and support throughout the process. I couldn't speak highly enough of the care, understanding and guidance given. Following her directions I was able to adapt to give Hiccups & Bob the best set up to preserve their bond. Often information available online relates to caring for a single bunny, bonded bunnies might require a somewhat different approach. I went from feeling like I would have to re-home one of my boys, to seeing them the happiest they'd ever been. If you can give your rabbits this chance at rebonding please do because you never know what can be achieved with the right support. Hiccups and Bob are now living their best lives thanks to Fiona 🙂

Fiona was wonderful. Amazing with rabbits and helped me through the whole bonding process with my 2 bunnies. I would highly recommend this business for any rabbit needs including bonding rabbits so they can live together happily, and boarding if you are going away, fiona will look after your rabbits as if they were your own!

Rocco, our dwarf rabbit, was back for his hols in the Rabbit Rooms Small Animal Boarding.again last week. Fiona and her lovely family couldn’t have been kinder, giving advice before about what to bring to help Rocco settle, doing a good groom and nail clip for Rocco and sending photos and texts to let us know he was well. It’s a pleasure to do business with The Rabbit Rooms and with Fiona and her family. Rocco will be back in his fave rabbit hotel again in July. And Rocco spent two weeks in the Rabbit Rooms in July/August 2024. He is always relaxed going to Fiona’s and come back in great shape. Very happy with the time and attention she gives him and with her extensive knowledge of all things bunny!

Fiona is amazing at her job! We had a few issues before trying to find a second bunny to bond with our rabbit. After we found a rescue rabbit that we fell in love with we really wanted to take him home but had concerns as we would be attempting to bond two males. Nearly everyone told us this cannot be done and it’s very rare if it is. When we brought our second rabbit home they didn’t really get along, we were so desperate to make it work so we took them to Fiona to get bonded, to our surprise when we went to collect them after their bonding time was up they were cuddling in the one carrier together!! they’re now inseparable and we couldn’t be happier we chose Fiona to do it for us. Seriously changed our lives and certainly Richards (our first rabbit) who was in serious need of company and Lionel who we took in from a rescue who needed a brother to play and cuddle with. I seriously cannot recommend fiona enough! Now instead of separate play times and cages to separate them, they run around together all day and can play and sleep together, it’s heart warming to see them both so happy in each others company.

If you're contemplating sending your bunnies for bonding with Fiona, do not hesitate, because you will not regret it, she is brilliant! She is honestly a Rabbit expert. She bonded our two female buns for us and we couldn't be more grateful. To see them now, the best of friends snuggling, is something I did not think was possible as we had some fights in the past. Fiona works miracles and is not only a rabbit therapist but a human one too because she will reassure you through the whole process! We needed Fionas help because Bonnie was a rescue bun, aggressive and fearful of other rabbits. We thought we made a mistake getting a second rabbit because they would attack each other through the cage. Fiona was able to work her magic and they are now inseparable! Thanks again Fiona, you are doing great work and amazing at what you do! Love Bonnie & Binx xx

Our Bunnies have stayed with Fiona and family for several years now. We'd never cope without her. They are elderly bunnies at this stage and we know when we leave them with Fiona that they are in expert hands. She loves and cares for them as we do. Brownie (11yrs) was a bit 'off' this Summer and Fiona was quick to act. She was great with administering medication and seeking advice from our fantastic vet at Palmerstown Veterinary. It was a tough Summer with the heat at The Rabbit Rooms I'm sure, but Fiona and her fabulous team went to great lengths and kept their visitors cool. Thank you Godmother Fiona! xxx Brownie & Oreo

Toffee our pet rabbit was so well cared for and enjoyed his first stay at The Rabbit Rooms. He was in the company of lots of other rabbits,hamsters and guinea pigs which I wad told appealed to him and he showed great interest in these other furry friends. I am already thinking of prebooking him over the Christmas period. I would highly recommend The Rabbit Rooms for boarding your pet.

I was so delighted with The Rabbit Rooms. I had been nervous to leave my bunny anywhere for two weeks, but Fiona completely put my mind at ease. She sent me regular updates on him including photos of when he’d be spending some (supervised) time out in the garden, and he even got a pamper session while he was there! Will definitely be using The Rabbit Rooms again.

We have used the rabbit rooms a couple of times already and cannot recommend it enough! Fiona is really great with them and they come back very happy and stress free. The online booking system is really handy to see availability and the online portal gives the chance to give any needed information about your pets! The updates are really nice to see how they're getting on when you're away. Thanks Fiona!! :)

Fiona was incredible all the way through with our three bunnies. Chaos and Tiny, both male and Penelope, our female, went in to fiona to be bonded. After just four days of intense work with Fiona, our two males who used to fight regularly are grooming and sleeping beside each other. All three bunnies are loving each other’s company and none of this was possible without Fiona. Great communication all the way though as well as easy, clear instruction for when you pick them up and take them home. Drop off and pick up was as easy as could be. Can’t recommend Fiona’s service enough. 10/10.

My dog was in no hurry to leave the kennel. The only true sign you'll ever have that your dog was well looked after

We have been using Vessington Boarding Kennels for the last 2 years for our dog. We have found David and the staff very friendly and easy to deal with. Our dog loves it here and he is always well looked after. I check in with David from time to time to see how our dog is doing and he gives me an update followed by pictures. It just give us peace of mind while away knowing that they are taking care of our pet. Thank you to you all. (Dec, 2023) The Downey Family, Swords, Co Dublin.

We have used Vessington for the past 4 years, our dog Muffin loves it here and is well looked after, definately recommend, great service and dogs well looked after

We have used Vesington Boarding Kennels for the last 5 years. Our dog really enjoys her stays here She jumps out of the car when we arrive and is delighted to see David and team. They are extremely accommodating and always finds a spot for her at short notice. We leave her in the kennels for long stays over the summer and other holidays and she is treated like a family dog when there. Vesingto Boarding Kennels is a great service to have locally

First time using Vestington kennels as our usual boarding service was fully booked. When collecting dogs there was no one there at the kennels supervising the dogs, anyone could of been hanging around and would of had free reign to steal dogs.Both dogs were extremely thirsty and drank an excessive amount of water on the way home which was concerning. Their beds were given back to us absolutely filthy. Staff member (which we had to go and find after a call to the owner, who was out on the main road cutting the grass wearing headphones) didn’t seem sure which belonging were belonging to our dogs. We usually use the DSPCA for boarding and they always come out happy from there, we could tell they were not happy when collected from vestington kennels so will be using this service again. I would not recommend leaving dogs here, very poorly run, conditions are not dog friendly and the kennels are absolutely filthy.

Should be ashamed of themselves!!! They LOST a poor little pet that someone trusted them to mind, poor dog is over a week missing now, they won't even help to try and find him. Volunteers out looking for him asked if they could park up outside with some food to try and attract this poor little pet and they refused saying it would attract vermin! It's YOUR fault the poor little dog is missing, think the only vermin around is YOU!!!!! Disgraceful place, wouldn't trust them minding any pet, DO NOT LEAVE YOUR FURBABIES WITH THESE PEOPLE!!!!! 😡😡😡

I've been bringing dogs to Vesingtown for more than ten years. All of my dogs have come back happy from their visits. All my family and inlaws have brought their dogs there also. Everyone seems to think the dogs have a great time. Well done to the Bruton family who have run the place for years.

Recommended. We left our shy dog for 4 nights. She was relaxed when we picked her up. Place is reasonably priced.

Gorgeously situated kennels, great condition. Clearly care for the dogs enormously. I'd be quite fussy about where I'd board my dog but I would use this service again in a heartbeat.

If my dog is happy, then I'm happy.... and here at Vesington she cant wait to go in... I think she's disappointed when I have to pick her up... loves seeing the other dogs...

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.

Kim is awesome! She is an excellent dog trainer and animal carer, she provides dogs with amazing and responsible care on walks and is a fantastic people-trainer too. She is compassionate, knowledgeable and kind. Your dog or pet is absolutely safe and happy with her. There are a tiny number of people (you can count them on one hand) that I would allow care for my dog and Kim is one of the very few. And that says it all!

Kim is excellent with all dogs big and small! My little pupper is so well behaved after her walks with Kim and she picks up some really great habits. Kim knows her stuff so this is so much more than dog walking, she incorporates training when they're out and about and I can always see an improvement. We get pics of their adventures too which is so lovely. She's a great photographer to boot. I can't recommend Kim enough.

Kim is so caring, considerate and professional to deal with. She has a genuine love for dogs and all four legged friends which is evident in how she treats her clients. Can't recommend her enough!!

Kim is amazing and my dog absolutely adores her! When we say her name he runs to the window looking for her. She is so good with our dog and takes such good care of him. She is so reliable. We would be lost without her.

Kim walked our two dogs for a couple of years before the pandemic and I couldn’t recommend her enough. Lovely person, very professional and absolutely loved our dogs like her own. We will hopefully get her back walking them when I’m back in the office full time.

Kim is absolutely fantastic, she just loves all animals and is so caring and professional when it comes to looking after them. She is great for offering training or caring advice and I would highly recommend her.

Kim did a great job of looking after my 3 chinchillas. On our return my chinchillas looked very happy and no stressed at all😊 We also received some pictures while we were away🙂 I would fully recommend Kim 👍 …

Kim is the answer to all your dog sitting worries: reliable, kind, genuine animal lover, experienced, Knowledgeable, there's no better professional than Kim. Thank you so much for the help and support! You are AMAZING!

Brilliant with our dog . Kim has great patience and loves animals and they love her.

Superb skilled trainer with excellent credentials. Highly recommend.
