Our dog Buzz was absolutely well looked after at Cork Paws! we were kept very up to date during his stay, Kristian and Stephen were very kind and phenomenal, taking great care of Buzz, I'd have no hesitation in recommending Cork Paws, if you are looking to leave your Dog in a friendly and safe environment.
I would absolutely recommend Kristian and Steven to anyone in need of care for their dogs. They have a beautiful home and 2 gorgeous dogs who were lovely relaxed friends to my little 5month pup and my parents 18 year terrier. Kristian sends lots of photos of them enjoying their holidays! Honestly think they’re great and so glad to have found them, it was like a home away from home for them both.
Absolutely reccomend this place, went to a wedding for 2 nights and with a 1 week notice, they were able to look after our dog Lexi for those days. Steven and Kristian are lovely, they had us bring Lexi over to get familiar with the house and them and their two dogs Buddy and Abbey who are adorable and very friendly, before we left. While away they kept me up to date with messages and pics of my dog to show how well and happy she was, playing with their own dogs. There house is lovely and they have a nice big back garden that is fenced off that they play in, so your dog cant make a prison break they also walk the dogs everyday. If you want your dog to be looked after in a family home enviroment, while you're away, rather than be stuck in a kennel with 20 other dog's and not looked after as much, Cork Paws Dog Boarding is the place to go. Next time I have to go away, I will be sending my dog here.
I didn't there was such a thing as the perfect dog minder for my pampered pooch Charlie until I met Kristian that is. Charlie is just back home from an amazing stay with Kristian Stephen and their two beautiful dogs. He was so well looked after and made one of the family and I got loads of updates and photos from Kristian. Charlie can't wait to go back! I would have no hesitation in recommending Cork Paws to any dog owner. Thank you so much Kristian!
I cannot recommend Kristian enough 😊 My Rosie can be nervous at times with new people but after her first day care with Kristian she was all waggy tails going again. Rosie recently spent 4 nights boarding with Kristian and she had the best time with walks and her friends Abby and Buddy. It was a huge relief to know she was in such good care. Thank you so much for everything we will see you soon!
My boy Toby stayed overnight in Kristians and I was very happy with everything. He sent regular photos and updates and Toby got on great with the other dogs in the house. He came home absolutely exhausted after a fun filled weekend! I would definitely use their services again.
Chico had a great day at day care with Kristian. He was well looked after and he was exhausted when he got home after a full day of fun with the other dogs. Highly recommend!
Elmo had the most wonderful weekend. He loved all the attention that he got and we got regular photos and updates. The biggest surprise was when we collected him and he was surrounded by three other dogs, and loving it. This was far from the dog we left three days earlier that barked at every dog he saw! Can't recommend Cork Paws enough. We'll definitely be bringing him back for his holidays!
Alfie stayed with Kristian recently while we were away. We were delighted with the updates daily and the photos sent on to us. Alfie looked like he had great fun there. It was a relief to have Alfie looked after in a home environment and with their own dogs there for company too. We would not hesitate to use Cork Paws again.
Brilliant!! My dog Bella had the most amazing time! I received cute pic updates of her while I was away which was lovely reassurance, she really enjoyed her stay and can’t wait for her next adventure! A home away from home.. Thanks Cork Paws 🐾 …
Excellent care for our two cats for over a week. Thanks again.
Great cattery. Tony is very loving to all his boarders and the cats always come home well cared for. Peace of mind on holiday for definite.
We've left our cat with Tony a few times and can't fault his service! Tony is great to deal with, very understanding and so natural with our cat Max. Max is always content when returning from his time in Wags and Tails. Will be definitely returning to Tony again! Thanks :)
My cats have stayed with Tony at least 4-5 times since they were kittens and never had a problem. He sent updates on their well-being while we're on holidays for our peace of mind. The facilities are designed with cats in mind and it´s spotless. Even he has two different areas for the colder months. There are plenty of areas for playing and climbing too. Tony is passionate about animals and knows how to treat them. Always it´s been easy to deal with him and had excellent service, he even offer pick up and delivery. I could not recommend more
Toffee and Coffee had a great time. Chilling at home after picking them up. Thanks Tony. Highly recommended.
My two cats seemed to enjoy their first holidays at Wags & Tails and they've returned happy and healthy. Great communication from Tony from the start. Will definitely be back.
Tony is great, very flexible and lovely to deal with.
Tony was fantastic to deal with,minded my cat for 2 weeks and he was very happy. Gave me a little tour of the cattery,it's great. Highly recommend
Found Tony really rude when collecting our cat. He became very angry when I mentioned I would like to be allowed in past the driveway gate when collecting, to see where she had been staying. He refused. He said no viewings June, July, August. When I said I find that very unusual he became quite angry I had to ask him to stop shouting at me & all he said was go on away woman with your cat. I do not recommend, very odd, made me feel they were trying to Hide something, when they should be trying to instill confidence. Paid €280 for 3 weeks, no receipt provided either!
Great experience. I left my cat here for over 3 weeks while I was on holiday. He was well cared for by tony and is a lot more sociable and confident after the experience
Daycare, Grooming and Boarding. Joyce and her team are superb, the only place I’d entrust with our pawsome girl. Holly skips in the door and we’ve complete peace of mind at work and on holidays. Every time we collect her she’s in top form, happy, healthy and says goodbye a few times before we leave. Simply the best 🐾 ⭐️ 🐾 ⭐️ 🐾 ⭐️ 🐾 ⭐️ 🐾 ⭐️
A truly perfect experience, and my dog loved it!
Rosie loves her time in little Paw's. Thanks for the great care you all take with our pet.
Very friendly staff. Had my 3 dogs stay here for 3 nights and they seem to have had a ball. Very reasonable also. Beautiful grounds and space for the dogs to run around. Will definitely be using them again. Thanks so much.
Fantastic groomers tried a few different groomer's over the years and this is definitely the best place for our dog "Happy"
Fantastic is all I can say, our dog hates going there to be groomed, like many pets, but is absolutely happy, content and beautifully groomed upon collection. Staff are great our pet, who has a skin condition, and take extra time for her needs. Very knowledgeable and caring, well worth trying out.
Just brilliant, my 2 shih-tzu’s (one of which is a very tough cut) love going there for grooming. My other chap was fostered there and they really looked after him before I took him. The just love dogs and it shows. Highly recommend.
Very happy with the care my doggies got here! They seemed really comfortable and cosy and well looked after, and the facilities seem really safe!! We’ll definitely be coming back again ☺️
I've been using little paws for 12 years. Joyce and co given the best of care to my dogs all down through the years. You couldn't find a better place to leave your little mischief makers while at work or on holidays.
This is such a lovely boarding Kennels and Joyce is so helpful. We were going on holidays and the kennels we had booked into fell through at the last minute and Joyce at Little Paws was very kind to take our dogs Cooper and Ralphie for 10 days. They both had a lovely time. I would Highly recommend this as a boarding Kennels. Thank you Little Paws.
Our dog Archie loves going to Ozzys and comes home exhausted from all the fun. Emma is a lovely person to deal with, really recommend!
100% 5 star service provided by Emma at Ozzy’s doggy daycare. Emma offers an amazing service at a lovely location with huge open fields. My dog adores Emma and loves attending every week, it is like a second home for him. The instagram page is also fab with lots of photos/videos uploaded throughout the day. Thanks Emma for taking such good care of Max.
My dog Finn just loves going to Ozzy's, he comes home exhausted from all the walking in the woods and all the fun and games in the facility. If I mention Ozzy's he runs to the door. Emma has such a fabulous way with dogs she really shows how much she cares for them. I couldn't be happier sending my dog here, fantastic facility, would highly recommend.
My dog Floofur goes to Emma every Wednesday He adores Emma and being with the other dogs I can highly recommend Ozzies doggy daycare
Very disappointed with this service, my dog which started as a puppy under a year old was injured whilst in the care of Ozzy’s. A deep puncture wound to her neck, I was told by vets that she was “lucky” as it was so deep. This was not the 1st incident but unfortunately for my dog I did not go with my instinct, to remove her sooner. A large vets bill and not even a message to ask if my dog was okay! I now would always check for credentials and make sure that it is only clients dogs attending a daycare
Our dog Roxie loves going to Ozzys. She is absolutely exhausted coming out of there from all the walking across the fields during the day time 🤣 The insta account is great too 👍 …
From our very first phone call to ozzys the have been nothing more than helpful as a person who never put there dogs in kennels before.the went through everything with us took their time and very patient.there facilities were fantastic the beautiful country side all around. And a pleasure to deal with for us and our dogs.thank you Emma
I send my dog here every week and I've to nearly carry her home, she is wrecked from all the fun she has! The Instagram account is a great way to keep updated on the day to day too
Our lil girl Oreo loves it here in ozzy’s , owner Emma is amazing. Couldn’t be happier with her service.
Fantastic facility! Dogs are walked in the woods and played with all day! My dog loves it here. Would highly recommend
