Leslie consistently demonstrated outstanding communication skills, both initially and throughout the entire process, and I would gladly give her more stars if possible. Leslie arrived as scheduled, and instantly the animals fell in love with her and Bennie. Our cats love our dogs but usually won't come in the house when a strange dog is here but they didnt even hesitate to come meet Bennie. Bennie was very calm and a true gentleman. Leslie sent pictures throughout the sit reassuring us the gang were all getting along and enjoying her and Bennie's company. She read through the welcome guide before we left as well as we showed her around. It was very nice getting the chance to know her a bit before we ledt the following morning. We felt very comfortable knowing our home and pets were in good hands. It is very apparent when you meet Leslie that she truly does love animals. When our Molly decided to hide, Leslie called us right away because she feared Molly may have gotten spooked by a firework going off in the neighborhood and escaped under the gate. I felt so bad for Leslie because she blamed herself because it was on her watch. I have trackers on all my pets and it turned out that Molly was still in the house and just hiding really well. She can curl up.pretty small. Lealie took our Lab to check the walking route and see if Molly was there. When I called and told her Molly had to be at the house because her tracker showed her there, she returned to our home and Molly hreeted her as she came in the front door. I was very appreciative of Leslie's phone call though because she didnt wait hours to call, she searched the yard and house and called right away. We decided to cut our trip short a day and asked Leslie if she minded if we came home a day early. We let her know we didnt expect her to leave early and made sure she was comfortable with our decision. As a pet parent, it is imperative that we remember the sitters are also on vacation and we didnt want to intrude on her time. As it turned out, we ended up stopping by the ER on our way home where my husband was diagnosed with a brain aneurysm. Unfortunately we had both the RV and my car and I needed to figure out how to get them home. I reached out to Leslie who offerred to give me a ride back to the hospital after I dropped o e vehicle off at home so I could retrieve the second vehicle. BTW, the surgeon was able to repair my hubbys aneurysm and he will be coming home soon. Leslie was a comfort during this frightening time and even stayed an extra day to help out and care for our home and pets. She was a teue blessing. Leslie left the house spotless along with so.e fresh flowers for me when I got back from visiting my husband. If you get an opportunity to host Leslie in your home, rest assured your home and pets will be well loved and well taken care of. We.would welcome.Leslie back anytime. She is not just a pet sitter, she is a new trusted friend.
Monique was very nice and easy to schedule with. She sent us pictures of our dog Maisie while we were away, which we enjoyed seeing. Maisie was well cared for and had gotten plenty of exercise by the time we got home. The house was spotless, which was lovely to come home to! She had taken the trash and recycling bins out, even though we hadn’t mentioned them to her before we left. She made sure to let us know if anything was amiss so there were no surprises when we returned. Would definitely recommend her as a pet and house sitter for others. :)
Kelly and Chris are lovely people and we loved having them at the house! They were very engaged from the start, asking questions and wanting to know all the details on our pets. We were completely comfortable going away and didn’t worry during our trip knowing our kiddos were in such great hands. K & C gave us pics & updates as requested, and we loved seeing our pets have such a good time with them! They left the house in as good or better shake as it was found, laundering and folding linens and tidying up so well we could hardly tell they stayed here! They were communicative before the sit, during, and after. Kelly and Chris were the ideal sitters in every way. We’d welcome them back anytime and highly recommend them to others. Thanks you two!
Great pet care. The house was clean and tidy. The sitters had great communication. Would recommend again!
Erin was a great pet sitter who took such good care of little Chino. She was very reliable, kept us up to date with videos/pictures, looked after our home and kept it neat and tidy. She even left a thoughtful gift upon our return and was flexible with our travel plans. We would definitely recommend Erin for anyone looking for a reliable and friendly pet sitter!
This was my first time using house sitters and Shanen and Ryan were wonderful. She sent me pictures of Calla and game me updates on Calla’s activities. She would be welcome to pet sit for me anytime!
Janis is a wonderful person and also an incredible sitter -- we were very, very fortunate that she agreed to care for our beloved pets and rural log home for 3 days. We were confident that everything would be perfect – and it was. We returned to a home as clean and ordered as we had left it, inside and out. All plants were thriving; outdoor hanging baskets were blooming profusely. Most importantly, our beloved dog and 4 cherished cats had obviously been lovingly and attentively cared for. The koi were also active and happy. Janis is a “cat whisperer”. She is especially skilled and patient with shy felines, so we truly appreciated her patience and caring for our sweet Angie (with a semi-feral background). Janis immediately understood that Angie, despite her reclusiveness, craves affection and was able to start to earn her trust even with such limited time. Among Janis’ many gifts: she is a talented photographer and delighted us with frequent updates and photos of our furry children. They are so beautiful that we, with her kind permission, plan to include several in our zeewoi profile. Janis’ communications, reliability, self-sufficiency, and punctuality were exemplary, start to finish. We made a wonderful new friend and have already invited her back to sit again. If you are privileged enough to ever have Janis sit we are certain that you will be as delighted and happy as we are.
Jessica was an awesome pet sitter for my cat Fifi. She texted photos and updates everyday so I knew that Fifi was being well cared for. She was communicative and asked a lot of good questions to make sure she understood Fifi's needs. My home was equally as clean (if not more so) upon my return. I would highly recommend Jessica!
Gowri was very patient and caring with Irisi who got sick the day before I left. I cannot commend her enough for how she rose to the occasion and took care of my baby. She even pick up meds from the vet. My cat, Squinty, was very comfortable with her to jump in bed and wake her up early in the morning (as he would with me). I am not aware of him doing that to other sitters that have stayed at my place. I would give her 6 stars for Pet care if I can! She updated me with Irisi's condition which really help ease my mind, knowing someone looking after my furry really cared. I would certainly have her back again!
Tom was the PERFECT pet and house sitter. I went out of town for a while after my dad passed, and I had a few pet sitters bail before he came in for the rescue. He cleaned up the messes and I came home to a clean house and VERY happy babies! My two dogs LOVED him. He is extremely reliable, clean, trustworthy and was incredibly caring to my dogs. I would have him back ANYTIME and HIGHLY recommend him!!

We have let our two dogs with Mary several times on short and long stays and we both think she is fantastic. Our dogs are happy and well cared for so we cannot recommend Mary and her kennels enough!!😀 Gosia and Ken …
Always a pleasure to leave our dogs in Mary's Kennels. The care and attention she gives is fantastic. Never a bother to her. Great place
We always bring our dogs to Mary, they absolutely enjoy it there, Mary is just brilliant with our dogs
My dog has been goin here for a year when we are away, the place is always clean and staff are friendly and obviously great with dogs, would recommend.
Our dog loves it here, I never worry leaving him. Mary is great with our little man.
A home from home for Bailey our golden retriever 🐕! He loved his stay, made loads of friends and can't wait to go back! …
Always so helpful. Sally loves going.
Fantastic service , highly recommend 👏 …
My dog loved it, a true home from home.
Love these kennels,
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 🐾 …
I could not recommend Irene & her family enough. We were so nervous at the thoughts of sending our FurBaby, Daisy to a kennel, as she is just 2 years old, an absolute baby at best and had never stayed in a kennel before. Daisy had quite sensitive skin & ears, which is no longer the case following her stay here. I cannot explain how relaxing our holiday was knowing Daisy was looked after like one of their own at Ballygarvan Boarding Kennels. I was sent photos and videos to keep us updated which was a really lovely touch. When we went to ollect Daisy Irene asked Daisy if she wanted to come back in and she actually tried to jump back out of the car 😂. Happy little smiley head and waggy tail said it all. Thank you again Irene, so so much. Daisy sends her slobbery kisses also. x
Top grade accomodation and care. Thanks for washing her! She might sleep on the bed tonight!
Our mixed breed 2.5 year old dog Dusty is a member of Creedons doggie daycare since he was a young pup. He is addicted to it. He gets so excited when I drop him off. I love seeing the photos of him on the seesaw, outdoor area or waiting patiently for treats. As a high energy dog, it’s just what he needs. He always has a great day.
It's great. The puppy is extremely happy there. The only problem is the smell. I know it's tough to get it out, but the dog smells terrible after 😬 otherwise great day care ☺️ …
Our beautiful Labrador Rocky has been using Creedons since he was 6 months . What an amazing fun ride it has been . Rocky is now 16 months and I can honestly say Creedons have made him into a wiggly happy go lucky calm doggy. Initially plan was just to use the daycare for office days. I’m now fully remote and have decided to continue to use it twice a week . We also use the hotel when we can’t bring Rocky with us. The staff are so amazing - young energetic and just such doggy lovers. Whoever loves their dog and wants somewhere secure safe and fun to stay , choose Creedons 🥰
Kayley's home away from home, I cannot say enough good things about the whole team at Creedons. Whether its daycare or overnights, she always leaves so much happier than when she arrives. Cannot recommend them enough.
Our large Golden Retriever was well cared for at Creedon's and came back with a lovely shiny coat and a happy doggy. The location is easy to find, easy to park, and drop off/pick up was a breeze. We are new to Cork, and have tried several grooming services in the Douglas area and this is definitely our choice for regular grooming for our pup.
We recently used Creedon's Dog Care for private puppy training sessions. The training with Megan was absolutely fantastic. Megan is such as asset to Creedon's. She was extremely attentive towards our Golden Retriever and answered all questions we had. Megan showed us a good number of tips etc. and would definitely recommend her as a brilliant trainer. Her very helpful follow-up notes on each of the sessions we great. Excellent service
I would like to thank Creedons for Millie’s successful first spa day! From the onset she was treated lovingly and gently and my nerves were very well managed. She was exhausted at the end of the day, a happy puppy. It gave her a safe and pleasant experience where it could have been traumatising for a young puppy like her. It makes our next visit one of many more. Looking forward to booking for next month.
We have been using Creedons for student dog grooms for quite a while now. It’s been excellent on every visit. We have two large dogs that we would otherwise struggle to keep groomed without the reduced rate student grooms. The dogs are there for a full 3 hours. They are relaxed, happy and beautiful at the end but most importantly their ears and nails are tended to with no distress, and these are so important for their well-being. Without this service we would have less groomers qualifying with hands on experience. While it’s important to remember that these are student grooms and there may be tiny issues that need improvement, all of the students are supervised by very experienced teachers so the dogs are in good hands at all times. Excellent service.
Our dog absolutely loves going to Creedons Dogcare. He has been going for 9 months now and still bounds in the door all excited. Staff are amazing with the dogs and we know he is being very well cared for. He comes home exhausted from a day of fun. We've also used their grooming service and we're very happy with the results.
I have a Samoyed who usually gets groomed every 6-8 weeks. I moved and found Creedons grooming college when searching for a new groomer and I’m delighted I took the chance. The students all seemed very kind at drop-off and the groomer my dog had (Eimear, I think) was so lovely and really listened to my requests. These students have obviously been trained to a high level and it shows. Grooming a Samoyed is not an easy task because he has so much hair but he came out looking like he went to any fully-qualified groomer. Can’t wait to bring him back!
