Annie sat for our cat, Tuna, over a long weekend. She was extremely kind and self-sufficient. When we arrived home, Tuna was relaxed and happy and our apartment was as clean and tidy as we had left it. Annie would be welcome to sit for us again any time, we'd highly recommend her.
I could not have asked for a better first experience with zeewoi! Jordan and Nataki were great at communicating from the very start, and they sent me pictures and updates every day. I didn’t have to worry for a moment that my cat Anya was feeling lonely because I could tell she warmed up right away, even though she’s usually quite shy! They also went above and beyond making sure my apartment was tidy for when I got home. So grateful and would definitely be honored for them to sit for me again any time!
Francesco has been taking care of my furry babies and my place while I'm away for well over a year now, and I couldn't appreciate him more. He is a joy to communicate with, and the most reliable person one could hope for. Being able to count on him while I'm traveling makes a world of difference, because I know I don't need to worry about anything while I'm away. Benny and Zumba love him and are very well taken care of. I know because I come home to two very relaxed and happy kitties. I am super grateful to have found Francesco!
Hannah and Joseph were so kind, so communicative, and clean! Kevin seemed so happy in all the photos they sent. Not only did they wash my sheets and towels they used (without my requesting it, simply out of the kindness of their hearts), they ALSO then put my fresh sheets on the bed! 🥹❤️ Such incredible sitters. 10 stars!
Misti was wonderful! She was able to come by before I left town to meet my dog, Grace, which I really appreciated. She sent daily pics or videos and made sure that Grace got tons of snuggle time, which is a major requirement to keep my dog happy :) Cats and skateboards are evil enemies to Grace and it sounds like Misti experienced both and handled it flawlessly! Misti was a great communicator, left everything tidy for me when I got home and Grace was super mellow and relaxed, which tells me she got all the care she needed while I was gone. I highly recommend Misti - I'll definitely be asking her to sit again!
Lilly and Thomas stayed at our house and cared for our dogs for a month. I think they took the dogs to the beach nearly every day. Seeing pictures of our dogs on the beach made our time away from them feel so much better. Our house was immaculate when we returned, and we felt so fortunate to have such kind and loving people step in for us in our absence. Anyone would be super lucky to have them in their home.
Gwynn was wonderful! She was super communicative, flexible to come to our house beforehand to get oriented, and attentive to details. She connected with our pup, Scout, immediately and we felt so assured that he would be well cared for with her. We hope Gwynn can come stay again another time!
I was thrilled to have Courtenay as our sitter. We had a few last minute changes and she was very accommodating. She is a very pleasant, well spoken person who bonded very quickly with our dog, Pepe. We were in Europe and Courtenay keep us we’ll informed via internet, pictures and all. We came home to a clean house, a happy pet and a delicious pie she left for us in the refrigerator. You would be very pleased to have her as your sitter. Lucy Hottle
Wendy was great, she kept us updated on the dogs and all the fun she had hiking with them on the mountain. I returned home to a very tidy house. My dogs just loved her. I will definitely have Wendy sit for me again and would be very lucky to have her do a sit for you.
Julian and Susan were amazing, we came home to happy healthy creatures and a clean, tidy home and yard. They communicated with us during our vacation, both about anything unusual and just to let us know when things were going well (as they were the majority of the time). They are very adaptable and capable people, I highly recommend them for your home and pet needs.

Kylie was a great sitter for my dogs. She kept in contact and sent pictures and took them on many walks which they love. She has her own sweet little dog that keeps to herself and was just fine with my 2. I would recommend Kylie to anyone looking for a housesitter
Kelly was an excellent sitter for us. She communicated well, before the sit and during the sit. When we got home, the dogs and our guinea pig were happy and well. Kelly was dependable and showed up exactly on time. The house was well maintained and clean when we arrived home. We would definitely host Kelly again.
Susan and Jim were exceptional pet sitters for our 2 pups and cat! From the start they were communicative and asked thoughtful clarifying questions that made us feel comfortable immediately. We spent time together the evening before we left for vacation and it was clear that they had read our welcome doc and instructions. They referenced animal behaviors that were noted and confirmed details. They arrived about an hour before we left and gave us all plenty of time to feel comfortable with being in our home. Throughout our vacation, Susan sent photos and updates of our critters and let us know how they were spending their time together. Susan was quick to respond to my messages via WhatsApp any time I reached out. Susan and Jim stayed at our house until we landed at the airport and let them know we were safely on the ground. They fed and walked the dogs and let us know they would be gone before we got home. It was great knowing that had our flight been delayed, they would have stayed at the house until we were safe driving distance away. We came home to a sparkling clean home, a thriving and happy garden, and well cared for animals! Susan and Jim left us detailed notes of their stay and even gave us lots of instructions on how to keep our garden happy! What a treat! All our linens were washed and replaced and the house was immaculate. Thank you Susan and Jim for choosing our home and furry family to spend your time with! You were the best first experience we could have asked for and would love to have you back again!
Ryan was one of our best sitters we’ve had! Ryan is so lovely to chat with and we looked forward to meeting him before our trip. He was organized and communicated his plans clearly with us and was easy to communicate with while we were away. Our dog took to him immediately and so we knew we could relax while away. Our home was in great shape when we returned and it was nice to get a debrief from him as well. We’d love to have Ryan back anytime, and so would Steve (our dog)!
Cyndi was fabulous. I'd describe her as the no fuss no muss dog sitter. While some dog sitters need guidance on every little detail, Cyndi was completely self-sufficient. She left the home in perfect shape and totally adored my pup. I'd gladly welcome her back anytime!
Jo & David were absolutely amazing sitters for our house and dog Rosie while we were out of town for 2 1/2 weeks. They are the best! Jo was super communicative and responsive at all times. She and David bonded with our dog, who grew very attached to them. They left our house super clean (and there were even chocolate chip cookies for us on our return)! Most of all, they are just super nice people and very easy to work with. Anyone is lucky to have JoAnna & David housesit for them.
Wendy sat for us on three occasions this Summer and I can’t say enough good things about her. The dogs were well taken care of and she was, organized, tidy, and responsible. It’s great to find a house/pet sitter that you can rest easy knowing everything is taken care of. We are hoping she will want to spend more time in the PNW!
Christina is the best house and pet sitter that we have ever had. She leaves the house immaculate. She is independent, reliable, and totally professional. Communication is excellent. In terms of pet care, Christina is special. I think that she is a dog whisperer. Bridie, our crazy Wheaten, adores her and is sad when she leaves.
We were so happy with Lynda's care for our senior pup. Lynda was extremely accommodating with the key hand over situation we had considering our early flights out of Berlin. She was easy to coordinate with and made this part of the holiday very smooth. We could also tell Sesame was in the best care. We received updates and photos of Sesame on walks and getting cuddles. We know Sesame can be sassy sometimes but Lynda was great with her little attitudes and handled her with ease. It was also really heart warming to see that Lynda truly enjoyed her time with Sesame and created a strong bond with her. We love to know that our dog is loved and treated with the care we would give her if we were home. Both my partner and I were able to fully enjoy our holiday as we knew from updates that Sesame and Lynda were doing well. Our apartment was clean and tidy when we returned and the sheets had also been washed. We would definitely have Lynda back and would recommend her to anyone else looking for an experienced sitter to stay with your pet.
Jim sat for my extremely shy rescue pup and new kitten for two weeks -- my pup struggles with new people, and is very fearful of men in particular. And yet, Jim was more successful with her than any sitter I've ever had: I can't recommend him highly enough. He has wonderful patience, a calm energy, and is a great communicator. He consistently updated me with photos and videos of my sweet girls enjoying the world with him, taking my dog on hikes and adventures to her favorite streams. He went above and beyond both for her (in meeting her needs and taking the time to get to know her personality), and also in caring for my home. I returned to such a cozy environment, a repaired wood stove, an organized wood pile and an at-peace dog and cat. Choosing Jim as a sitter is ensuring that your pets and home are getting the best of care, and his actions exemplify his kindness, generosity and thought taken in consideration of others. I hope to have him return many times in the future; the experience was a privilege both for myself and my pets.

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
I wouldn't leave our dog anywhere else but here - she's been coming to ACE for nearly 10 years now and cannot recommend them highly enough. Dogs are welcomed into their home, they have a beautiful large outdoor space, the ladies love the dogs like they do their own, grooming services are excellent and Millie absolutely adores it there.
Ace is a real home from home for our dogs. We always leave them here when on holidays and they never want to leave they've had such a great time. We never have to worry knowing they are beeing so well looked after. Thank so much Ute and Berni love Charlie and Holly 😊🐕🐶💛💛 …
Fantastic place for dogs. It is a place home from home. So well looked after. Fido my dog always looks beautiful after his groom and so happy. Recommend Ace pets a 100%
Ace Pet Services is like a home away from home for Buddy, he loves his "spa" day and always comes home looking absolutely gorgeous
Highly recommend for small dogs. Genuine love of dogs. I would not leave my dog with anyone else ❤️
Fantastic service with a smile the girls are fantastic and take all the worry out of leaving dog for any period of time highly recommend
Two amazing ladies. They take care of my two boys. Cannot recommend these enough.
The ladies at Ace Pet Services are first class.. couldn't speak highly enough of them both.
Always fantastic, the pets probably prefer Ace to us 👍 …
Fantastic Ace Family ❤️ can't do enough for our fur baby.xx
A friend recommended Tanya to me for minding our 2+ year old Schnauzer boy. Although it’s always daunting leaving your pets in the care of other people, I felt comfortable leaving our boy in Tanya’s care from the start. We did a trial sleep over and it was evident he settled in quickly and had an enjoyable time. Tanya and her family is very experienced with dogs and clearly have a passion for animals. Our boy was safe, treated as their own and well cared for. We had absolute peace of mind leaving Cooper with Tanya for 2 weeks, it was a long time and not so easy, but he was in excellent care. She regularly shared videos, photos and texts. He had daily walks, and even had the luxury of picking a soft toy for himself to play with from her kid’s room. I would without a doubt recommend Tanya!
Tanya was really accommodating and helpful. She took great care of our two dogs and sent us pictures and updates so I was very reassured. Will definitely be a returning customer.
Tanya took care of my little beagle toto while myself and the rest of the family were away, she was brilliant even though i had given such late notice. Tanya took great care of her and gave me daily updates and pictures of toto which i absolutely loved and just reassured me she was in great hands. I would definitely recommend using this service 😁😁
We found Tanya absolutely amazing in taking care of our dog Willow would totally recommend and look forward to using her services again..
Great service, minded my 4 month old puppy for 4 nights and he loved every second and learnt so much. Sent me regular updates and videos. Will be back again for sure!
Very satisfied with dog sitting services at Tanya’s. She was very patient with my dog and did all his favourite activities during his stay. I would highly recommend her.
Tanya looked after my two Jack Russell terriers over Christmas. She has a lovely way with animals - patient and kind. My dogs were very well cared for. I would highly recommend her boarding services and will certainly use again.
Tanya has minded our dog Charlie on a few occasions now for sleepovers. He comes home super chilled out. It is evident that he is very comfortable in Tanya’s home and with her family. Definitely a home from home for him. It makes going away much easier when we know he is being well cared for. We would have no problem recommending Tanya for pet services
Lovely lady looked after my dog Flash. Great service definitely recommend it!
Quality service! After a few false starts of trying to find suitable boarding for our very energetic cocker spaniel we found Tanya and her lovely family. Wouldn’t leave our dog now with anyone else. Tanya sends regular updates and photos while you are away which is such a comfort. Would definitely recommend, and have done, to family and friends.
My dog Dougie has been with Hannah for the last two years. Hannah is amazing with the dogs and her care is second to none. She is always willing to accommodate me where ever she can and my dog waits every morning for her at the door. She is a true dog lover and any dog would be lucky to get out on a walk with her !! She is the best!
If you are looking for a dog walker or for someone to look after your dog while you are away… Hannah is your person. Hannah has such an amazing bond and is so good with all different dogs. Hannah took willow out French bulldog for us while we was away for two weeks and willow has had the best time ever. Hannah throughly looked after willow, plenty of walks, treats and so much bonding they had. Willow has had the best time there and didn’t want to come back🤣 I couldn’t recommend Hannah enough. She is brilliant, caring and overall such a great person with your dog. Please if you are going away or even need someone to walk your dog, hannah is your person. Thank you so much Hannah.
Hannah walks our dog twice a week and he absolutely loves it. He is beyond excited when she comes to pick him up and loves his adventure out with the other dogs where he can run around and have a bit of freedom. Hannah is very accommodating, always sends updates so I know when he’s picked up and dropped off, lets me know how he’s doing, and posts the best photos and videos of the walks. She’s the best dog walker and we couldn’t be happier with her service. Highly recommend!
Hannah recently minded my little guy Ozzy when we were away. She constantly updated us with pictures and videos. It is very obvious how much of an animal lover she is. Ozzy took to her straight away and it was great to know he was looked after so well when we were away. I would highly recommend Hannah for pet sitting and dog walking.
I would highly recommend Hannah! We had a great experience while away for a few days , Hannah was great with our dog ,walked and fed and visited several times throughout the holiday. The experience is very casual in that you can work out your own plan with her to suit which is great and flexible . Very trustworthy, friendly and excellent . I would recommend her to anyone and use her services again without a doubt , Dean and Johnny da silva ( Clyde) jack Russel
Hannah made it possible for us to enjoy a family holiday without fretting about our two beloved dogs! Before we went away, she came to our home a couple of times to meet them & gave me time to explain about their personalities, their likes, etc. She came in twice a day to feed them & spend some time with them. Both our dogs are rescues & have various issues & she respected their boundaries, but by day 6 they had really warmed to her. She was in regular contact by text & we got videos & pics. I would highly recommend & would be happy to have Hannah mind our pets again.
Hannah has been walking my beagle for close to a year. I didn't think he would ever walk with a group of dogs but with Hannah's relaxed and caring approach, he's come on leaps and bounds. Hannah is very trustworthy, reliable and accommodating. I feel confident that Harry is in safe hands each time he's with her. He is quite unique but Hannah has always catered to his needs and ensured he's well looked after going above and beyond each time. Hannah always keeps me in the loop sending updates and photos and really cares about the dogs she is working with like they're her own. I couldn't recommend her service enough 💗
We thank our lucky stars that we found Hannah - she’s been walking our dog Morris for 18 months now and is basically his second mum! Hannah is so passionate about what she does and goes above & beyond to keep her clients safe, happy & healthy. It’s plain to see that the dogs love her to bits and the photos/videos she uploads are honestly the highlight of our day. I would highly recommend Hannah’s services, particularly for dogs that need socialisation and tiring out! Thanks for all you do Hannah!
Hannah has been walking my energetic golden retriever for about 9 months now and is my dogs favourite person! Hannah is incredibly reliable and professional and really cares about Daisy. Daisy always comes home happy and tired out. Watching Daisy play and run on Hannah's Instagram stories after every walk is the highlight of my day!
Have had the pleasure of getting Hannah to take care of our pet on more than one occasion and will 100% be calling upon her service again for any of the next trips away. Don't think I could give enough positive words to describe or praise her services. Highly recommend to everyone. Thanks again until next time :)
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! …
We attend Hydrotherapy here and can’t recommend it highly enough. Anne Stewart is my go to lady for anything to do with my senior dog. We have been going to Anne for years and she knows my girls body so well. Cassie loves her Aunty Anne’s massages as well🌟🌟😬 …
We bring our elderly greyhound here for regular hydrotherapy due to arthritis and weakness in her back end. She's been attending for almost 6 months now and has come on amazingly. Brìd is brilliant with her and has so much experience with greyhounds. I would highly recommend the hydrotherapy center here.
Couldn’t recommend canine country club enough, we left our 2 dogs and puppy in for 10 days and they absolutely loved it. The staff were so attentive and sent us plenty of videos of the dogs enjoying time in the field which was so reassuring. The place was so clean and comfortable with plenty of space to move about during the day, the 3 dogs came home spotless after a wash before we collected them also.
Couldn’t recommend canine country club enough, we just pick up our 2 dogs they were in for 9 days and when we collected them this morning they were so Happy they didn’t want to come home and when I text mick and the staff on holidays as I was a nervous wreck leaving them both in the for the first time in 6 years as they were always with us and they always replied back to your messages to let’s us k is how they were so that made our holiday more relaxing know that they were both doing fine and been well looked after they were also spotless when we collected them couldn’t thank mick and the staff enough for looking after them for us they were very looked after thank you very much again mick and staff we will definitely be back again x
Left our dog here for a week we checked every few days and were told he was doing great, eating and getting on well with the other dogs, my mam collected him as we weren’t back in time when she arrived she was left waiting for twenty minutes outside the staff member we dealt with a male proceeded to return and shout at her that she had to come get him herself she was brought to a long hallway full of large breeds (my dog is only small) she seen my dog whimpering and cowering in a corner she called him he wouldn’t come the staff member proceeded to shout at my mam that she had to go in further to get him every time my dog heard this man’s voice he shook and ran away it took a good twenty minutes for my dog to come to my mam the staff member then demanded their money my dog was that stressed he ate his own lead in the car on the way home, if I could rate this kennel 0 stars I would my dog wasn’t himself for weeks he was afraid to get close to any males who entered the house and growled out of fear I don’t know what happened or what this man done to my dog but I would never put my dog through that again and would not recommend anyone leaves their dogs here the staff member was also informed my dog is a rescue and was still a bit nervous after what he had been through before we got him.. I also rang a couple of times after my dog being collected to find out what happened but never got an answer I don’t know if all the staff members are like this but this man should not be working with animals I would hate if anyone else’s pet went through what mine did.
I left my dog for two days and one night this weekend, and was very disappointed. I would not recommend these kennels. I dropped off my dog there yesterday with a bag of food with some toys and treats. I came back at 6:05pm this evening after getting delayed on the return and driving hard to get there. After I paid (through the gate in cash), my dog was just released into the carpark without a leash. I was told off for being late when the website 6:15pm, told everyone else had collected their dogs much earlier, and I was taking two days for the price of one night (despite paying according to the pricing policy). My dogs remaining food, treats and toys were not returned. It was not what I expected, and I waited a while. I noticed the remaining dogs were let out, and then were all inside the gate waiting to be let out into the car park which has open access to the road! I placed my dog here because I read lots of positive reviews online, and it was convenient. I did not inspect the facilities. He came home hungry and has laid down on his bed all evening. Usually, he plays actively with tennis balls. This is after one night! I won't be doing that again, and I'm posting this as a recent perspective. It was my bad for not inspecting the facilities. Maybe ownership or other things have changed. Who knows! But I would recommend checking out the facilities and not relaying on online reviews before leaving your dog here. The experience certainly does not match the name!
Bríd and her team are fantastic, I can't rate them highly enough.
I highly recommend Canine Hydrotherapy at the CCC. Anne and Bríd are excellent at what they do. The difference they have made to my senior doggie's life is incredible. As a result of their treatment she is extremely mobile and pain free.
Fabulous facility, well run and always clean . Just be careful when driving into it, you will need to drive slow and not hit any dogs - also the roadway into it is populated with speed ramps and potholes
Awful treatment… rang me on the phone to tell me that I have my dog booked in. I told him that’s it’s not correct. He just hang up the phone after insulting me. I rang him back to clarify what happened and never got a reply. I’ve left my dog with them once in the past but now I’m definitely not coming back…
2024 still brilliant would stay there myself😃 First time using. Cannot speak highly enough. First class. Dogs loved it. Have used again multiple times in 2021 /23. Would not board my dogs anywhere else. Don't want to come home and for my 2 that's a winner.
Left my dog there for 6 weeks over the Summer, she came back to us happy and healthy. You can clearly see how much Martina loves animals, our dog definitely loved her. Would recommend this place to anyone. Thank you
A home away from home for our dog Toby. Martina is an absolute angel and treats our dog like her own. He runs in to the kennels and always seems happy and healthy when we collect him. Couldn't say enough about these kennels. Would highly recommend them.
I can’t recommend Tuckmill Boarding Kennels enough - they are excellent. We hate having to put the dogs in kennels when we are away but we know George will look after them. He looks after our two lurchers and in the past looked after our Great Dane and Greyhound. They are extremely trustworthy and reliable.
Excellent Boarding Kennels, we always have piece of mind when we drop our dog off to George and Martina. They are lovely people and brilliant with animals. I would highly recommend them.
George and Martina are brilliant with dogs. So kind and gentle. I can go away and relax knowing they are looked after like they are at home. The place is spotless.
Absolutely fantastic boarding kennels, my dogs have been in on numerous occassions and are always ecstatic to return. Very well run and always a happy, friendly environment for all of the dogs, will definitely return
Our dogs have been going here for the last few years.Lovely quite country setting.would highly recommended
The team at Tuckmill took very good care of my big foxhound. He came back content, clean and unstressed.
Great place our dog loves going there he gets all excited when we mention there names so that's a good sign, lovely people in nice quiet surroundings, couldn't recommend higher.
Fluffy Paws is an excellent place. Daisy started there last month and she loves it. Andy and his team are fabulous and so welcoming. They make Daisy feel very special! Andy is so knowledgeable and this is very helpful as Im a first time dog owner. They have recently won a very prestigious award for all their hard work and this is well deserved. Would highly recommend them
Wally only recently began attending Fluffy Paws but I honestly wouldn’t trust anyone else with him! From the moment we entered and met Andy it has been nothing but a positive experience. So positive in fact Wally didn’t want to leave! I would highly recommend Fluffy Paws daycare for your own little fur babies!
Very professional and friendly team. We have been taking our Lab to Fluffy Paws for the past year. He gets so excited when we pull into the car park. Highly recommend!
Javier started with Fluffy Paws last October when he was just four months old. As evidenced by his big smile, he absolutely loves it. He plays all day and gets doted on by the amazing staff, who honestly make me feel like they love him almost as much as I do. Javier bounces in each morning and he comes home wrecked and ready for snuggles! It gives me great peace of mind knowing he is being well looked after when I am at work. Since he joined the daycare he has become so well socialised with other dogs. We have no trouble running into other dogs on our walks, even ones a lot bigger than he is (which is most of them!) Big thank you to Andy and all the staff for minding my baby! I love hearing the little pupdates each day.
The entire team at Fluffy Paws ensures a safe yet engaging environment for dogs and pups, and everyone is well cared for. Our pup Ollie has been loving going in since he was 5 months old, and always comes back happy and exhausted after a fun day of puzzles and play. They’ve helped him find his confidence and he’s always excited to go back in. The attention is unmatched with daily updates on behaviour and activities, and they are an amazing facility. Definitely recommend!
We are very happy to have found Fluffy Paws for our Pixie!! 😊 We needed to look for a new daycare for her when her previous sitter mentioned that he is looking to retire. At first, we were worried that the new settings within a warehouse with lots of doggies of all sizes might not be suitable for her but we were gladly proven wrong!! It did take her a couple of visits to get used to it but since then, whenever we get there, she would just run in without looking back 😂 Andy and the team give her lots of attention that she loves and playing/being around other doggies gives her the stimulation that she needs. Would really recommend if you are looking for a great doggie daycare!!
Our golden retriever, Shadow, has been going to Fluffy Paws since he was 4 months old and he absolutely loves it. From the start, Andy and his team have been wonderful and we know that Shadow is in a safe and friendly environment. The team are always very helpful when you have questions and I would recommend them to anyone.
Fluffy Paws this is a special place for your dog , safe and engaging for your dog from my experience the team are focused completely on your dogs welfare. Our two dogs are excited to go each time and come home clearly satisfied. I recommend without hesitation. 5 stars and more.
Andy and the team are great. I have a Dobermann who is quite needy and sometimes has what we call selective hearing. He loves going to daycare and is always absolutely wrecked when I collect him as he's been playing all day. I can't speak highly enough of Andy and the team. Andy, in particular, has an extremely calm demeanour, which the dogs are drawn to. 5 stars all round
Fluffy Paws has been an amazing second home for my Cookie. She loves arriving in the morning and is so excited to see everyone. She plays all day and comes home to sleep all evening! Cookie is a very happy pup and she is looked after so well. I would recommend Fluffy Paws to anyone who wants to add some activity and fulfillment to their doggy's day.
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.
Cared for our dog incredibly well and we never had a bad word to say about that aspect of their service. Found their drop off / collection times incredibly inflexible times in the morning between 10-11am and in the evening between 5-5:30pm only. For a working person it was almost impossible to get them there in their time frame and I found we ended up paying for an extra night when it wasn’t necessary. Also after traveling across the country and paying a couple hundred of euro to have our dog looked after I was 15-20 minutes late for their 5-30 cut off and I got a ear full from the owner which just put a massive downer on the fact that they do care for dogs incredibly well. Would also say their capacity is very limited and unless you book well in advance it’s almost impossible to get them in so you end up having to look for an alternative kennels anyway so found it unreliable for anyone who had a short notice trip.
My 2 girls stayed here for 4 nights, they love it and are looked after very well. Sandra and paraic are very good with the dogs, couldn't recommend highly enough
Sandra and Paraic are absolutely fantastic with our fur baby Oscar. They are so professional and care for Oscar so well. We know Oscar is always having the best time when we're away and comes home smelling beautiful 😁 if we could give 10 stars we would ❤️ …
Roxy has been a guest here over past few years. I can rest easy she is well looked after by Sandra and Co. Photo credit Sandra.
We gave used Fern's on and off for years. This really is a 5* facility. We have smaller dogs and they stay in a small house called The School House. The dogs are kept in pens and not cages. The house even has heating and a TV. Sandra is absolutely lovely and we feel 1000% happy leaving the dogs in her care
Highly recommend Fern Boarding Kennels. We booked our dog in here for a week. A lovely place for dogs. I left knowing our dog would be well looked after. Sandra and Padraic are fantastic. I would definitely recommend anyone looking for dog boarding to enquire here. I will definitely be using Fern Boarding Kennels going forward. Thanks so much Sandra and Padraic.
Excellent.. Sandra and her Team are expert dog carers and from the moment you meet them you feel confident if the fact that your pooch will be well looked after and cared for to the highest standard. They even had a birthday party for her...I'm always afraid when I arrive back to pick her up up she wont want to com home! Couldn't recoment them highly enough.
This place is wonderful for dogs. My 2 collies are very anxious dogs but Sandra and Paraic made them feel so relaxed and comfortable. it made me feel happy and safe leaving them with them. Its like a second home for them. Both Sandra and Paraic are lovely, warm and gentle owners and very dedicated. Im so happy i found this place.Highly recommended to all!
My girls Cleo and Jess stayed with Sandra and family last week . This was their first holiday stay . They absolutely loved it . Saw videos every day of them having a ball . I can’t thank Fern enough for looking after my girls as if they were their own .
So highly recommend Fern, my dog Millie just loves it, for short or long stay she's always happy to go.
I could not recommend just woof enough! Like many these days, I treat my dogs like my kids. I was very picky about where I would send my two energetic golden doodles! I have nothing but positive things to say about Nics set up. You can tell he has a pure love for dogs. My dogs come home happy and tired which is exactly what I was looking for! ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
As a new and nervous pet owner I have been so happy with just woof and so is my Juno! The knowledge and advice is second to none and Juno bounds in every drop off to meet her new best friends and enjoy the wonderful care she receives there! 5 stars all the way!
Whiskey has been going to Just Woof since it opened and absolutely adores it. He gets the best care and loves his time playing with his mates, he never wants to leave when we pick him up! It’s a great way to socialise your dog and to free up time for yourself during the day and we couldn’t recommend the service enough. The owners can’t do enough for you and you get the sense they love your dog just as much as you do.
Give your puppy/dog a treat and bring them to Just Woof! Our puppy Nala was delayed socialising due to having to wait for vaccinations so was nervous around people and other dogs when we started to go out and about. From just one play session with Just Woof owners dog Nancy who is close in age to Nala, I can see the difference. Nancy showed Nala how to play and any time we have been there since she is getting more and more confident and happy! As a puppy owner the relaxed and safe environment of Just Woof makes you feel at ease to let them have fun and explore. Thank you Nic, Aoife, Murphy and Nancy.
Our one year old poodle with a lot of energy absolutely loves Just Woof! Comes home happy and tired and is a chill little guy the next day too. Nic clearly has a real respect and love for enriching the lives of dogs and has a gorgeous set up. He’s really great to deal with and we’re delighted we found him.
Our 4 year old Maltese/jack russell stays once a week with Just Woof and loves it. We’re delighted with how he has settled in and enjoys interacting with the other dogs. It’s a great set up - would highly recommend
When your dogs arrive home and fall straight asleep on the couch, you know they have had a great day. Nic is fantastic and sends updates throughout the day. Great to get social time for the dogs with other dogs of all ages
Highly recommend Just Woof. Bonnie has spent three days there already and I know she is dying to go back. Nic was excellent with Bonnie and played fetch with her for hours giving her all the attention she needs.
I had my little pop there he is only 5 months He had a brilliant day I Was sent photos of him playing He came home that evening and just slept all night I will definitely recommend just woof And Marley will be back for another play date
