Dog Sitters in Kilmacow

Very happy with Heather's Top Dog Boarding - we left our dogs with Maura, who had a gentle touch with us and with them, and they were in grand form on collection. A good set up too. Can definitely recommend.

I have a young border collie that is very fearful and can become aggressive with strangers as a result. Because of this, I had never left her with anyone but the time had come when I absolutely needed to introduce her to a kennel ahead of a 2 week absence. Heather came highly recommended but I still was very unsure my dog would ever be able to settle with anyone. I tentatively rang Heather and described my dog's issues and her response was amazing! Heather genuinely welcomed the challenge of working with my nervous dog and have her ready for her stay. Heather's friendliness and unshakable "can do" attitude put me and my dog instantly at ease. The communication between us was so easy and I was relieved to have found a professional with the same positive gentle approach to dog training as me. Over a few weeks Heather helped my dog build a trusting relationship with her and her staff. She was not put off when my dog had her moments and in fact I was amazed at how quickly and easily my dog settled in the end. To me it is clear that Heather is gifted with a natural ability to connect with the dogs, read their behaviours and lead them. Her confidence in her ability to handle my dog gave me absolute peace of mind while I was away but I was blown away when she sent me a picture of her daughter hugging my dog a few days after I had gone! 😍 I am so glad to have found Heather as I couldn't have dreamt of a better outcome!

Highly recommended. Heather took the time to settle my nervous dog in and I had great peace of mind knowing she was in such good care while I was away. I returned to a happy, relaxed dog. Thanks Heather!

Always leave our two dogs with Heather, very friendly, professional and we know that the pets will receive the very best care. Prices are very reasonable and Heather is always helpful and flexible as regards dropping off/collection. Over the years I've used a number of kennels from time to time but Heather's is by far and away the best I have seen. If you want the reassurance of top class professional care for your pets don't go anywhere else.

Buddy just loves it - can’t wait to get out of the car to see who’s there to play with. What more can you say? Makes it so much easier to leave him. Thanks to all there, who love him as much as we do!

We had to put our Fenrir with Heather for 2 weeks while I recuperated after leaving hospital. She was fantastic , our boy couldn't have been happier , so much stimulation and happiness.

Always leave our crew with heather, we’ve 2 St. Bernard’s and 2 golden retrievers, they need a bit of space and an experienced hand because they’re a lively bunch. They absolutely love going to heathers, it’s 100% a holiday for them and they always come home so happy

Heather is a lady and really takes care of the dogs. I left my dog last minute with her and she really took care of him. Have already booked her for the summer as I know she's excellent

Fabulous! Our Arlo LOVES to go there, his head pops up and his tail starts wagging as soon as we go in the gate. Heather couldn't be nicer and she really loves the dogs in her care.

Oh my , 1st time ever my Big fur babies were here, I've got 1 great big German shepherd who is a very nervous dog+ unfortunately suffers with seizures + my Alfie the rotweiler, cannot fault this place 100% recommend heather's peace of mind and so ,so friendly, now at last I can go away on my holidays with no worries, thank u Heather + dawn + all ur staff ,perfection xxx

We were so nervous about sending our cat, Bubbles to a cattery as he's very much an indoor cat who hates leaving our home but when we picked him up, he was healthy, well-fed and well-rested. The staff at Lacken Road are so friendly and kind; they were great to correspond with and evidently took excellent care of Bubbles. The facilities are also great for a cattery- the animals are kept in spacious, well- lit enclosures and provided with ample, beds, toys and litter-boxes. We'd happily send Bubbles back again. Thank you so much, Lacken Wood!

I left my 9 month old pup frankie with lacken road boarding kennels for 9 days and I couldn't be happier with the service they provided. They sent me lots of pictures throughout the 9 days and he was in great condition when I collected him.. will definitely be bringing him back there again.

Wouldn't really use again ,we were told we would receive photos of how our dog was getting on but unfortunately nothing came ,left some treats for our dog he was never given one of them ,we forgot his bed when we collected him not even the courtesy of a phone call left them keep it , basically we won't be back unfortunately

I would absolutely recommend Lacken Road Boarding Kennels. I was very happy going away knowing my dog was going to be extremely well looked after. I received numerous photos showing me how well she doing. If you're looking for a place to board your dog then go to Lacken Road.

I gave my 14 yo healthy Jack Russell dog to here for two weeks. When I collected my dog on the Friday he had lost weight and wasn't himself. I had to bring my dog to the Vet on the Monday as he was not improving. The Vet told me that my Dog was severely dehydrated and had lost a lot of weight and that this happened over a period of time. Unfortunately my dog had to be put asleep. This was not the news I wanted when I collected my dog from this kennels after trusting them to look after my dog. I understand any dog can become unwell but I can not understand why my dog was left to become sicker and not inform us of this when we were away. After calling this kennel to inform them of the poor condition of my dog and to tell them the professional opinion of the Vet the man on phone became very hostile towards me and accused the vet of overreacting. I asked this man as a token gesture could he pay the vets bill since my dog became unwell in his care and he said he would ring the vet and let me know that was the last time I ever heard from him. I can not recommend this kennels to anyone because my healthy dog was left here and three days later had to be put asleep due to the neglect he received. STAY AWAY FROM HERE. RIP Max.

We left our 14 month old pup at Lacken Road Boarding Kennel!! It was his first time being at kennels, it took him no time to pall up with the smaller dogs there, he was in great form when we collected him! A very good first experience for our boy! Would defo recommend here for your dog or cat!

Not every kennel would be able for our Kodi, an Australian Shepherd as strong as an Ox and endless energy! Eamon also helped us out when an unexpected trip came up and we were really stuck. Much appreciated and would highly recommend Lacken.

Not a place I would trust with my dog. They neglected my dog and I had to get him put asleep by the vet from the state he was handed back to me. Then when we question this with the lovely Eamonn he starts threatening us on the phone. Funny he was very quick to take our money and when I told him about our vets bill he got more aggressive on the phone. I think this place should be closed down I am after contacting the ISPCA about here and I am awaiting the outcome of this. Do not use here they will be quick to take your money but as soon as you question Eamonn he gets aggressive.

My dog was very happy going so that was a great sign .Loved big green areas to run around. Eamonn is very helpful .

Top class , many thanks to eammon and family for looking after our two cats , very secure and dry pens for the cats. Will be using again , don't have any worries this is a great spot to leave animals
