Mary was fantastic from start to finish and looked after our elderly dog with love and attention to her needs. She also looked after our home with respect and care. We couldn't have asked for a nicer sitter and would highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs.
We feel like we’ve won the pet and house sitter lotto with Scott. Most importantly, he’s taken great care of our much loved little dog, giving him a lot of care, affection and attention. He paid close attention when Tingsha began scratching (allergy to an insect bite) which needed vet care, with great communication with us. He even took Tingsha to his agility school class each week (great fun had by all) and to get a groom. We’ve come home to a contented and very happy dog. The house is spotless, cleaner than we left it, with fresh flowers and the bed all made up. Perfect! We had regular contact with Scott all through our five week trip and being “fellow travellers” (in all senses) enjoyed sharing lots of local travel tips and experiences as we each visited new parts of the world. We were happy to lend Scott our car and he’s been great with it, super responsible. Scott is a really terrific guy and a fabulous journalist and story teller (you must listen to his podcast about his travels, it’s a cracker). In sharing our home and trusting our beloved dog with him, we feel like we’ve made a new friend along the way. We recommend Scott without any hesitation and thank him for a wonderful experience, we’d love him to come back and see us, anytime. Thanks a bunch!
Another amazing sit by Anna and her lovely family - our cocker spaniel Holly has had the best fortnight with these guys with lots of adventures and endless amounts of love and attention! Highly recommend as 5-star house and pet sitters - thank you Anna - hope to see you again!
Kelly and Pat arrived the evening before I left on my trip so we were able to have a nice visit and get to know each other a bit. They asked many questions about the dogs and the house so that they would feel comfortable with the pet sit. Piper and Zuria were very comfortable with them. They sent pictures from dog walks, kept me informed and promptly notified me when there was one simple issue that they handled very well. I’m not able to speak to the condition of the house on my return because a second sitter came right after Kelly and Pat and before I came home. They spent time with the new sitter so that she would know how to take care of the dogs and negotiated the transfer time. Kelly and Pat are a lovely couple and very interesting to talk with. I feel lucky that they were able to take care of Piper and Zuria and would love to have them back again.
Abi and David were FABULOUS pet sitters during our 5-day trip. They were devoted and fun dog walkers, park-goers and ball throwers. They communicated well and sent pictures. And when we got home, the house looked great, and the dogs looked calm. We would gladly have them. Sit for us again and highly recommend them.
Leslie and Kyle set the bar for all other pet sitters! On the first morning of their stay my cat got out due to a faulty window in my apartment and they handled the situation so well. Leslie sent a text explaining what happened and that my cat had returned safely and she was so calm about the whole thing that it put me at ease for the rest of my trip. Kyle went above and beyond and not only fixed the window screen (he actually fixed two screens during their stay!) but also made sure the window was secure until maintenance could come and fix the issue. Their go with the flow attitude was amazing. I would 100% have them sit for me again! I can not recommend them enough. You would be lucky to have Leslie and Kyle as your sitters :)
We've had many pet sitters over the years (this is our first time using this app) and Missy is the best sitter we've ever had for our dog and cats. Our pets, particularly our dog, adored her and was really sad to see her go. It is obvious she loves animals and immediately understood the pack dynamics and the pet personalities. She kept the house tidy, litter box clean, and the animals so well loved. Because she was traveling from far away, she stayed with us the night before our trip and the night we came back. It was a pleasure to get to know her. We would welcome her back to our house as a friend or a sitter anytime. Highly recommend!
We had the pleasure of having Tara as our house sitter while we were away, and we can't praise her enough for the fantastic job she did. Not only did she take excellent care of our home, but she also showed tremendous love and attention to our beloved dogs. From the moment Tara walked through the door, we could tell she had a genuine passion for animals. She immediately bonded with our dogs, and they seemed completely at ease with her. Throughout our trip, she provided us with regular updates and photos, which truly put our minds at ease knowing our boys were in great hands. Tara took great care of our home as well. It was evident that she respected our space and coming back home, we found everything just as we left it, if not even better! We highly recommend Tara to anyone in need of a reliable, trustworthy, and caring house sitter. Her communication was excellent, and she proved herself to be a responsible and dedicated individual. If you want to ensure your pets and home are in the best hands while you're away, Tara is the perfect choice. Thank you, Tara, for taking such incredible care of our dogs and home. You made our trip stress-free, and we're truly grateful.
Absolutely Incredible.... I will not lie, I was hesitant because David did not have any pet sits before this one (gotta start somewhere) but because he did the background check I decided to contact him. We had a great phone conversation and the decision was made. He came to my house the night before I was leaving to learn all the ins and outs of taking care of my fur babies and then put himself up in a hotel for the night before the sit date. The next day he came over in the morning to learn a few more details before I left. I could not have chosen a better house sitter for my 2nd house sit . David communicated with me daily, sent pictures and we spoke via facetime. My little guy was feeling sick when David started and with diligence, love and kindness he was able to get my little guy eating again and feeling better. I would invite David back into my home over and over again but I am pretty sure he is going to be in high demand. Thank you David for everything!
For our first experience with a house sitter, Jim and Julie have set the bar high. We felt totally confident that any issues would be dealt with, fortunately there were none. They were outstanding house and pet sitters whom we would wholeheartedly recommend to anyone. They took exceptional care of our house full of pets from 2 large dogs, 3 cats, snake, gecko, fish tank and a koi pond. They provided updates daily, were very easy to communicate with and the house was just as clean as when we left it, with the addition of a nice welcome home gift. We knew our pets were in good hands. Thank you for everything. Melissa and Kyle

I can highly recommend Dotties Doghouse! My dog spent a week there and had the best care by a woman who understands and loves dogs, as if they were all her own. Dottie is also the best groomer I have come across. Exceptional! Cannot speak highly enough of the professionalism!!
Great job one of the best can easily be trusted no problem left my 2 dog there for 21 days with no problem delighted and highly highly recommend
Two exhausted ladies after a fantastic stay at Dottie’s Doghouse. They can’t wait for their next visit! Fantastic set up, fantastic service and Dot is a lovely person ❤️
Please don’t be fooled by the cosy looking pictures on this site, they must be very old.. i was there last week and it looks nothing like this now, in fact the place was so damp inside that the floor was slippery, there was no sign of any warm fire or blankets on chairs. I booked my dogs in here a few months ago after looking at the pictures and when I saw the state of the place I felt sick leaving my animals, Dot told me that she would be in the Kennells at 7 to feed my dogs and that she would light the range and sit in there and play with them..as it happened I got someone to go straight back and collect them only to find the place deserted, this was at 6.15pm, We called Dot and she said she was on her way to galway and said she would be back at 9.30 the next morning!!!! Our deposit of €100 was taken plus €50 for the night our dogs were left on their own, disgraceful! I also find it strange that the owner, Dot Quin Byrne, has reviewed her own business and given it five stars, see below ....
Thank you so much for looking after Bailey and Dolly so well. You have them looking 1st class after their pampering and they're both in great form here. We would have no hesitation in recommending you to anyone looking for their hairy babies to be taken good care off while they're away on holiday etc.. Thank you once again 👍🐕 …
Absolutely fantastic kennels. If I could give it 10 stars I would. I left my little dog with Dottie for a long term stay and he was so happy and so well looked after. Dottie sent me regular updates of him strutting around like he owned the place. The play area is an absolutely brilliant idea and more like a holiday resort for dogs than a kennels. Dottie is a lovely lovely person who has a genuine love for the dogs in her care and she also has a fantastic way with them. My Guy absolutely adored her. Having tried many kennels in the past Dottie’s Doghouse is on a different level and I would never leave my dogs anywhere else ever again. Thank you Dottie and all your team for providing such a wonderful service.
Fantastic boarding and grooming, Dottie is so great with them. Dogs come home tired, clean and most importantly really really happy! We have used other boarding places before but now won't go anywhere else. See you again in a few weeks Dottie! 😁 🐕🦺🐕 …
My dog Penny had a great time in dottie's dog house, thanks to Dottie and her wonderful staff I would highly recommend there services so pleasant and welcoming, you can also have your dog groomed. Will definitely be using there services again. Thanks again
We couldn't recommend Dottie's Doghouse any higher than 5 stars but if we could then we would! Dottie looked after Bailey the doggie and Biscuit the cat so well they hardly wanted to come home again 😉 a great set up and a safe environment and great peace of mind to know they're been so well looked after when you're away. Very reasonable rates for the Doggie and Cat Hotel as i call it. Would recommend to anyone without hesitation. 🐕 🐈 👍
Was very apprehensive leaving Marley as he's had a bad start in life and is very much a "mummy's boy" but I needn't of worried, Dot was brilliant with him and also made me feel very much at ease, I knew he'd be safe & very well looked after - which he was. He was even running around with other dogs, which was before then unheard of. Highly recommend. Will definitely be returning.
A 5 star rating for this super friendly and accommodating boarding and daycare facility for dogs. Our dog loves it and pulls the arm off me to get inside, which is a major sign that he feels safe and cared for there. Here is a photo of Senan not wanting to leave, one summer evening after collecting him. Thank you Fiona and Paul ☺️
Rupert our Bichpoo resided in Happy Tails for 1st week July 24. It was spotless, well run, safe & secure. Fiona & Paul take great care of the animals in their care. Wishing you many more years in business. Regards Elaine
Fiona &Paul are amazing, they really give it there all with the pets they have in their care , my puppy Sammy has been going their now the last few months & he loves it , plenty off areas for them too run & play , and their over night kennels are great , when I seen where Sammy was sleeping etc I couldn't believe my eyes , so clean ,cosy that I was thinking I'd nearly book myself in!! Good job ye guys 👍 and thank ye again 😀
Barney is a Rescue Dog who came into my life 6 years ago , and has become my soul mate . He knows my moods and when I need a cuddle. He is Family and not a pet, and his well being is of the utmost importance so when it came to finding a Boarding Kennels I applied the same criteria that I would in choosing an Hotel for my wife and myself. A great deal of research and time went into sourcing a suitable premises that Barney would feel safe secure and loved , Happy Tails did just that. We took him to Fiona for a Day Care Doggy Day and we knew at once that Fiona ( and Paul) were "Doggie People" Their lives revolved around their own dogs and their Guests exactly what i wanted. Barney loves them and they look after him in the same caring way that I do. The Kennels are superb and the play areas enormous , and Barney being a fussy eater gets his rashers and sausages mixed with his feed .With the new addition of The Doggie Taxi it means that Barney can be collected and returned in comfort and safety. You will find it difficult to find better . Barney says Thank you but more so so do I s He is my Life and I gladly entrust him to Fiona,
Fiona and Paul are absolutely amazing. We are so happy to have somewhere that our dogs love going, where they're well treated and happy. Fiona caters for dietary needs, medication, etc, so no matter what our dogs need during any given stay, we know they're being so well looked after. Happy Tails is the best boarding and daycare facility in the midlands, if not the country. Our dogs get so excited to see Fiona and Paul, and they even have their own favourite spot to sleep. Sam has decided he's the boss when he's there and Fiona keeps us updated on all the shenanigans they get up to. We'd be lost without Happy Tails.
Pretty good experience. They were very kind and took good care of our dog! Great place!
Happy Tails boarding kennels does exactly what it says on the tin...... happy dogs! It’s wonderfully run by the friendly Fiona and Paul who so obviously care about each and every dog in their care . The amount of space for the dogs to run free is fantastic and the accommodation is 5 star quality, spacious, clean and comfortable. I never worry about Barney when I go on holidays, he has a wonderful time in Happy Tails.
Lovely set up. Fiona is so Nice i took to her straight away.. She was happy to let us come out and have a look at where our pets will be staying before we booked them in. Not all of the places we were looking at,were so acommadating.
Absolutely incredible. Fiona and Paul are amazing. Our dogs love it there and it gives us massive peace of mind knowing their safe and happy when we’re away. Wouldn’t leave them with anyone else.
Happy Tails is a home away from home. Absolutely recommend it. Fiona is lovely to deal with,and to top it all off my dogs came home cleaner than they have ever been!! Didn't last long too long tho 😂 …
Just recently introduced my dog to Kloud 9 Doggy Day Care. They were very good at making sure she was comfortable with the other dogs. I was able to book a trial session and then a short session. The dogs all looked happy and content with some of them sunning themselves on perches in the rare Irish sun.
My dog Cherry loves going to Kloudz, she runs in tail wagging. Amazing, efficient staff. I can go on holidays happy that she is well looked after, also I receive videos and updates, which are brilliant to watch. Very clean and a lovely atmosphere in doggie day and night care, staff on dog duty all night incase dogs get lonely. 100 percent recommend, I wouldn't send my furry friend anywhere else. Keep up the fantastic work Kloudz. I shall put photos up on site of Cherry going on hwr holidays to Kloudz
Excellent service for all the fur babies needs. Pick up and drop off services for big and small dogs , a walking service a grooming service, overnight dog hotel or home stays.. highly recommend. Robbie had my daughters 2 dogs for homestay while we were all away for her wedding. They came back happy and content. Excellent service. Happy dogs. Happy humans. 🐾
My boy Buster absolutely loves his days out at Kloud 9 Dogz. He can't get out of the car and into them quick enough! And I get to go to work knowing he's happy, and very well looked after. Great peace of mind for me, and he doesn't have to spend a whole day cooped up indoors. Fantastic service ⭐️🐶😊
The team at Kloud 9 are fantastic with our dogs Layla and Toby. They really care about the dogs and making sure that they are happy. We have used their daycare service, home boarding and most recently their dog hotel. It was great to receive updates and photos of them after their stay. I would highly recommend Kloud 9 and the team! 👍
Paranoid mom is an understatement when it comes to me. Shadow was never socialised due to lockdown. Then one day while on a walk, a pitbull made his way out his yard and came straight to attack Shadow, I managed to protect him and got attacked instead while holding Shadow tightly in my arms. Since then, Shadow hates other dogs and goes crazy when he sees another dog... I sought out Kloud 9 Dogz because of an appointment I had to be at and no one was home to care for him. Shadow has never been left to stay with anyone outside our family and home. I cannot describe how afraid I was to leave him. Not sure how he would react to other dogs and also having to stay with strangers... Well, I am besides myself with gratitude on how amazing the staff have been and was so surprised to see how well Shadow was slowly but surely warming up to all the dogs around him. The staff are friendly, patient and not just with the dogs, but with the overprotective humans too 😉 They certainly know what they are doing and care very much about all the furbabies in their care! Thank you Rebecca, Robbie and all the amazing staff who took such good care of my precious boy.
We hate leaving our dog but in those times we absolutely have to - we drop him to Kloud 9 - our wee dog adores going there and playing with other dogs! All the staff are fantastic and our dog is well cared for and we know he is in good hands! Would recommend Kloud 9 to all dog owners!
Thanks so much to the team at Kloud 9 Dogz. Charlee really enjoyed another vacation at the doggy hotel. Thanks again for all the photo updates during her stay. Fantastic service for our little lady.
We were nervous leaving Flossie for a first night away but she was fine (of course) but so we’re we because of helpful updates to reassure us. Kloud9 is a great place with people who care about your dog. There is constant supervision in the play area and this means the dogs are safe interacting with each other. Many Thanks to all the staff, we will be back. 😀
Honey seems to love her time at Kloud9. Well staffed and dogs are well looked after. Nice to have larger covered in area for when raining though. But Honey loves it no matter and is having a snooze after her fun day
Excellent kennels!! Couldn’t recommend Liz higher! This was our second year using the kennels and Liz went out of her way to accommodate us last year. Both dogs have left happy and well looked after on both occasions 🐕 …
We had our Barney and Pedro stay with Liz for the first time over the weekend and I am really happy. They were really well looked after and Liz was really responsive to any message I sent while they stayed. I'm a very anxious dog mam and she really put me at ease. Also brilliant value for money. Thanks Liz.
Dropped my 2 dogs off perfect health, in fact they were at the vets the day before for a checkup, perfect health, picked them up after 7 days and were very sick, took them to the vet straight away and Both dogs had respiratory infections, they claim the Kennels are heated but I don't think so, also if the dogs were monitored in the least it would have been obvious they were sick, coughing, sneezing, not eating, not active. I never write bad reviews about anything but I feel compelled to warn others that this is not safe for your animals. Avoid if you care for your dogs/cats.
My 10 month old pup Chida had a weekend here in august. I was nervous letting her off because she has a lot of separation anxiety but Liz did a great job and Chida came back with her tail wagging. I would recommend liz to anyone looking for a kennel.
Good rates. My dog was looked after well, she came back same as we left her. Cant say the same about her soft toys 😄 …
We started using Shoemaker Kennels about 18 months ago. At first, we wondered if our rescue dog would take to the new environment, but our fears were unfounded - he LOVES going to 'Dog Hotel', as we humans call it. He loves going there, and he loves when we collect him, which is as it should be, so it's a it's a win-win situation for everyone. Liz and all her staff are professional, respectful of each dog's individual personality, and 110% trustworthy. We highly recommend Shoemaker Kennels.
They were able to take in my cat Tommy at short notice. Friendly staff, cheap prices and his apartment conditions were very nice.
We stopped leaving our 2 dogs Dolly and Minnie there.. the last couple of times we left then there they came back stinging to the high heavens, I can't describe it other than pure musty or dirty bedding where they must have been laying. Luckily we found Lough Bo kennels where I can't say enough of how highly I recommend them, more expensive than Shoemaker but you get what you pay for and so worth it knowing my dogs are being looked after by real animal lovers and not people are are only in it for the money.
I left my Husky only for 2 days (Thanks God were only 2) because when i picked up the Dog was all wet and full of pee and very smelly,same as his bed. The dog had a very yellow urine as he didn't drink for a while. The lady at the entrance was very rude and not friendly with the Dog,she just pulled the dog till the cage. Not recommended at all. This is a Dogs prison!!!
Lovely local kennels, very helpful staff..our dog (14yrs) was very relaxed upon collection after 1 week.
Yoda absolutely loves Jessica- he gets totally spoilt every time he stays with her- the biggest problem we have is getting him to come home with us after a stay.He has stayed with Jessica five times now and each time the level of care has been amazing. She keeps us updated on a daily basis with pictures and videos of his daily walks and exploits. Nothing is a problem for her, her kindness to and care for Yoda is beyond measure. He is already looking forward to his next stay.
My dog Ciara loves going to Jessica for boarding or the occasional day care. It is so important to me that I can relax and know that my dog is happy and well cared for. Jessica has a natural connection with dogs and they know that they are loved and respected. I really recommend Jessica
Jessica is so good with our dog Bailey and puts our minds at rest when Bailey stays with her she sends us updates with photos and videos which is brilliant. Bailey is a shy quiet dog but loves Jessica so that says it all for us 🥰 we would highly recommend her. …
My 2 dogs Mia and Jack love to see Jessica coming to stay over , she has great patience with Jack who has to be annoying, when trying to see something on TV as he barks non stop at TV 😃😁 I find Jessica very helpful and can take Mia and Jack when I ask her , we love Jessica …
Hi Jessica looking for my dog minded four days a month please
