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.
Prashant and India were fantastic pets sitters for us. Both were dependable and were even kind enough to allow some service people into the home to do some repairs. Our dogs were well looked after and we got daily updates on how the dogs were doing. Prashant is very knowledgeable and gave us a few strategies to combat some negative behaviors that we were seeing with the dogs. Could not recommend them more. They will be missed.
Hanna did an excellent job sitting Molly, Eddie, Jasper, and Miley. She communicated well, took notes on our initial meet and greet. She went out of her way to help us get the dogs to a kennel when we experienced a family emergency and could not extend her sit due to work commitments. The dogs loved her and the shy kitties came out of greet her mid stay. She left our home immaculate and well cared for. She is truly a winning pet sitter in our eyes! We hope she can come again sometime.
Martin was a very conscientious and thoughtful house sitter who took excellent care of our pets and our home. He was reliable, self-sufficient, and a very good communicator. He clearly enjoys and cares for animals, and our house was spotless when we returned. We recommend him wholeheartedly!
Angie and her husband Joe were a great fit for our house and pet sitting needs! They kept in communication with us before our vacation started, and were able to arrive a little early so we could walk them through how various systems worked and where controls were located. Our dog bonded with Angie very quickly and I think he was hoping she would stay after we returned home :) We got regular updates and pet photos while we were traveling. Although we were out of cell phone range for several days, we never had a doubt that things at home would be just fine while they were there! They were also very flexible and understanding. Due to our flight schedule we arrived home in the middle of the night. Angie was able to feed and walk our dog, clean up and leave in the morning without waking us up! The house was left clean, the garden was thriving and our pup was happy. We are happy, and would be happy to have them back again as sitters anytime.
Ramona and Brandon were the perfect sitters! They rescued me and were very accommodating with my needs. Ramona's communication with me was A1. We spoke multiple times before she arrived and throughout the sit. She was good at keeping me updated and I was very grateful for that, being so far away. The pets gravitated toward them from the moment they arrived and you could see that all she and Brandon wanted to do was spoil the pets with lots of cuddles. My female pup was in heat and they handled that very well and were able to keep her and my male dog separated. I could only imagine how exhausting that may have been but they didn't complain one bit. Ramona and Brandon had to hand over the sit to another sitter and were kind enough to write out the details and everything they observed to make the transition a seamless one. I must say, it helped tremendously. I'd have them back in a heartbeat to sit for me as they showed that I could trust them, not only to take care of my pets but to respect my home they way they would their own. Thanks again for making my trip away worth it!
I have had 4 pet sitters this year so far. And Liz was the best! She was wonderful with cats. She has an easy going manner and is very comfortable to be around. Very smart and she is a great communicator. She followed all directions and left the house spotless. I highly, highly, highly recommend her! I would have her again anytime!
Toby and we were SO lucky to have Tom be our home and pet sitter for our Thanksgiving Holiday trip! From the very beginning Tom was responsive and communicative. He was even able to arrange a "meet and greet" with us and Toby before beginning his stay. While here Tom took great care of our home, and, most importantly, provided wonderful care of Toby! When we got home everything was in perfect order and we could tell that even though Toby was happy to see us he was going to miss Tom. I would be thrilled if we could have Tom as our zeewoi again. You will be lucky if he can do the same for you. :)
Kuldip exceeded all the expectations we had from a Zeewoi. She took over from another sitter when we got stuck out of country due to a family emergency. A highly energetic person yet extremely organized, she easily matched the energy level of my 2-year-old Border Collie Pavo. She not only exercised him multiple times every day, but even him bought him new doggy toys and treats (much appreciated!). She got along very well with our neighbor and with their combined help Pavo got a much needed doggy bath! With her by my dogs side we were worry-free and able to focus on our family needs. Lastly, she left a pleasant surprise when we came back home. Our home looked squeaky clean and beautifully organized. Kuldip is a gem of a pet sitter and we would love to have her back for our fur baby without any hesitation. I highly recommend her!
What an amazing couple we had as pet sitters for our two dogs! You can truly feel their love for animals. Nancy sent pictures a couple of times letting us know that they were having fun also with our Cody and Carson! Our home was perfect when we got home. They even left a beautiful potted flower and card on our island in our kitchen. We highly recommend this couple! Jim & Wanda

My dog charlee just spent 6 days with Martin, her tail was wagging and she looked so happy and this was before she saw us at the gate. This was her second time staying. When we arrived she was so excited and happy. Martin & Co thank you so much for looking after her. Regards Maura
Our dog Charlie stayed for a week and they looked after him brilliantly. Very handy to have him groomed while he stayed. Would highly recommend Country view boarding kennels.
My Charlie “golden retriever” has been going to country view kennels since he was a small pup he is nearly 7 now and I wouldn’t go anywhere else! Charlie jumps out of the car when we drive in and Martin, Niamh and the lads are all so lovely to deal with and I know they care for every dog that comes to stay for boarding/ day care.. Grooming is fantastic and I have been blessed with the lads as they have notified me of any changes “ which has happened” to Charlie skin and recommend what next to do.. 5 star all the way!! your fur-baby will love it there.
A lovely place to leave your dog while you are away. Niamh and Martin are sensitive to need and will accommodate each animals routine. They have a run in their top field each day and Martin ensures that small dogs don't run with big ones. Grooming is on offer too and is done well. A brilliant find!
I'm always happy to recommend Martin for both boarding and grooming. I always feel happy leaving my dog with them for a little holiday and there's loads of room for the dogs to roam and play
This place was terrible!!! I left my dog here for about 10 days I collected her she smelt terrible like she had been locked up the whole time. When they sent one picture of them outside on gravel not grass like mentioned in their web page she was timid and looked nervous. I would not recommend this place at all!!!!
Would highly recommend these kennels!! Our dog is older and is on a special diet and the kennel owners fed her exactly what we asked them to and kept strictly to her diet. She seemed to thoroughly enjoy the kennels also! Lots of ground to run around!
Fantastic kennels and grooming parlour. Very professionally run. Our labradoodle is an assistant dog and she loves it there. She practically jumps into their arms. She is always happy and healthy coming home. Wonderful service.
Left my dogs here for 17 days reassured with the high ratings, both lost a lot of weight, the “updates” I got during the stay were that “they are very happy” and only when seeing them and how skinny they were did I get more explanations about how they were not eating that well, that they were hungry and so and so. Never once on those 17 days was I told that they were losing weight, or asked if their food amounts had to be adjusted. To top it off, when I got home and bathed my dogs I discovered two wounds on one of them (one on a leg one on the tail) that seem to be caused by laying on hard floor for long hours. Where were the beds I left them with? Why was this not noticed or why was I not informed? This doesn’t look like they were being walked as much as I was told they were (the explanation I got for their weight loss). Never again am I bringing my dogs here, very disappointed and angry.
Our golden retriever loves his day trips and over nighters with Martin, Niamh and Seán who do a great job looking after him. 👍 …
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
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 🐾 …
My dog loves John he's fantastic. Well educated man about dogs and has a good vibe about him. My dog looks forward to his little break away.
Not good. Dropped off our dog Friday morning and said we'd collect him Sunday afternoon. We were told he's not open Sunday afternoon. Fine. We'll collect him Monday morning then, grand. Arrived to collect our dog to a closed gate, had to wait ten minutes of ringing the bell and calling the mobile before someone came out. Then after collecting our dog, they tried to charge us for 4 days instead of 3. I explained that Friday morning to Saturday morning was 1 day, Sunday 2, so Monday 3. He said no, even Friday evening to Saturday morning would be 2 days because its Friday and Saturday, no matter what the time. Ridiculous. I feel ripped off and I will not be going back.
Excellent facilities and reliable service, our dog Lady a beagle seems to love john and everything is great, ring an hr before you collect your dog .Couldn't recommend highly enough
Absolutely brilliant kennel service. Dogs looked after very well and exercised every day. Can't recommend this place highly enough
John is great with our little dog and she absolutely loves being there for the day. Would recommend to everyone!
Missy our small jack Russell back from her holiday today after her first visit . Very happy little dog full of beans Very pleased with her stay here thank you.
Very well run kennels..John is great with the dogs
A dogs life cobh cork boarding kennels is a excellent facilities for your house dog or cat
John is a professional kennels owner with the highest standards in care and facilities
Very professional service. Great setup. Dog very happy there.
Brilliant kennels. Have been using them for 7 years
1st visit to Howladay Inn, with Luigi (our dog) I was welcomed by the owner John, who gave me a full tour of the kennels, which were immaculate and so well organised. All the dogs were so happy playing, jumping on the trampoline while listening to music 🎶. I would highly recommend. Thank you John.
Great place run by great dog loving people. Hayley has a great set up here with a heated dog kennels with spacious pens for each dog to sleep in. There are great outdoor areas for the dogs to play in too. Hayley has a great welcome for our dog Toby and he is happy staying there. We are so happy having him stay here as we know he will be spoiled....just like at home!
This place is now known as Currabinny kennels. John seems very nice and the dogs seems happy around him. Facility is kept very neat and he checks the vaccination record before accepting pups / dogs. Conveniently located on the roadside to Currabinny woods.
Currabinny Boarding Kennels is wonderful. Our dog loves it there, always comes home happy and exhausted and well looked after. John is kind to people and the dogs alike.
John helped us with boarding at the last minute a few times. He clearly loves his furry visitors!
Brilliant Kennels with very good staff. My Dog is always happy and looks well on collection
The howladay inn/ Currubinny kennels is an amazing fun and friendly place for your dogs.
Great spot John is lovely the dog seemed to really like it.
Never again, not a good experience and won’t be bringing my dog back
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
We have 2 dogs that having been spending their doggy holidays with Ger Mills for years now. He is absolutely delightful & obviously loves dogs, our 2 are always nicely looked after & happy & love the fact that all the doggies can see each other & sniff each other in neighbouring kennels through the mesh pens. Couldn't recommend him more highly.
Fantastic, always, 5 stars
Tony was great with our dog Bella. She wasnt there in nearly 12 months but she ran into Tony and was happy too coming home. Great service as always, Thanks Tony.
We dropped our beloved little Yorkshire Terrier, Rex, in for a few days at Ballyorban. It was our first time using the kennel. All his vaccinations were up to date and we gave written permission that should he become ill that he should be brought to the vet, When we brought him in he was happy and healthy. When my father picked him up he was clearly very sick. The staff at Ballyorban said he was “constipated”. However after my father rushed him to the vet he died. So to be exact he died exactly 90 minutes after he was picked up from this kennel. Three experienced vets outlined that his death was totally avoidable. Needless to say we were devastated. To anyone bringing their pet to a kennel I would urge them to get a personnel recommendation...like most people we chose this kennel based on the great reviews it had received to date. Our vet outlined that Rex would have been in considerable pain during his stay at Ballyorban.
For Purrfect Cattery: Helfpul, friendly, affordable. The accommodation was clean and nice, out cat was happy and Tony wad great at looking after her (she needed medication and special food after a vet's appointement and all were administered correctly).
Tried calling this guy and literally had to draw the info out of him, he was so rude, hardly wanted to give out any info, eg pricing etc, and when he did, was so rude about it, i told him his customer service was appalling and he actually didnt care! Just basically told me "ok". Imagine how hed look after my dogs! First impression?? I would never bring my dogs here! I normally never leave a review unless its positive, but he was so rude i just had to!
Fairly priced and a friendly service. Our dog was better behaved in return.
Great value and Tony is so passionate about his guests that you can sleep tight
Secure and well managed operation. Our dog was taken care of professionally.
Quick to organise boarding with Ballyorban kennels, efficient and very friendly service!
