Pet Sitters in Drimoleague

We left our senior girl with Allie for 11 days recently. It was Chorizo's first stay in kennels since 2018, so we took her to meet Allie some weeks before our holiday. I could see immediately that there would be absolutely no problems. Our girl is a bit on the anxious side, but Allie's many years' experience working with rescues has given her a fantastic way with nervous dogs, and she immediately formed a bond with Chorizo. We had a lovely holiday, knowing that Chorizo was having the time of her life, with the photos to prove it! She made so many friends amongst the other residents, something we wouldn't have thought likely, and she was so well cared-for and exercised. I can't recommend this beautiful kennels highly enough, and most particularly Allie herself. What a heavenly place! ☀️

It was my dogs first time ever being away from us in 3 and a half yrs, we were so nervous, well there definitely wasn't any need, ozzie had a great time with allie, and the new doggie friends he made, fabulous Kennels, and spotlessly clean, highly recommended, thank you allie ❤

My Donal had an absolute ball at Allies. This boarding kennels is dog heaven. Allie is the consummate professional and her kennels were designed solely with the dogs safety and comfort in mind. We really appreciated the beautiful and rather hilarious photos we received of Donal bounding around the paddocks with all his new friends. This gave us such peace of mind to know that his holiday was just as enjoyable as ours. So glad to have found this lovely kennels and Donal cannot wait to visit again.

I have two energetic Springer Spaniels who have stayed with Allie when I've been away on business trips. It's a relief to know that they will be well looked after, get plenty of exercise and have the chance to socialise with other dogs. I can tell from their reactions when I arrive at Allie's that they're happy to be there and that they're really fond of her. It really is like a home from home for Joey and Susie. Highly recommended.

I don't know who loves Allie's Kennels more - us or our dogs! When we drop them off they charge inside with barely a backward glance, and when we collect them they are grinning and happy. We've used many kennels over the years, in four countries, and Allie's is the best by a long shot because every aspect of a dog's well-being has been taken into account. The kennels themselves are purpose-built and fantastic - spacious, light, extremely well-designed and absolutely spotless. The outside areas are a dream, with plenty of space for running around and socialising with other guests, yet fully enclosed. Allie takes the dogs for long rambles and as we all know, a well-exercised dog is a happy dog. If you want complete peace of mind that your dogs will be in the absolute best, most experienced and calm hands, and happy out while you're away, look no further than Allie's.

Heaven on earth for dogs... The level of care and attention that Allie gives each pet is second to none. The kennels are spotless, in a gorgeous location with fantastic walks and several outdoor areas for play time and socialising - there's even an agility course for your dog to try. Allie can send you photo updates and a pattern will quickly emerge of your dog(s) having the craic day after day!! So if you want your pet to have a fab time while you're on holiday, bring them to Allie's. I would entrust my dog to no one else.

The ultimate holiday for our gang – they jump out of the car, excited out of their minds on arrival. For the humans, it’s not just the high quality of the accommodation and exercise area, it’s your confidence in who’s taking care of them that matters so much – and Allie is has that in spades. From the secure outdoor space to the sleeping quarters, you know your dogs are having a good time – and you can totally relax on your break too.

I highly recomend Allies Kennel. She is a very profesional sweet woman. We left our 4months doggy in the kennels. Allie was very kind with her and with us, she sent me messages and fotos of our litle girl. If we need to leave or baby somewhere again, we will call Allie.

Fantastic place! My dogs are somewhat awkward but they had a great time: they were relaxed and happy. I got regular updates. Professional, clean, fantastic grounds, the lot.

Our dogs love it here and are always excited to see Allie. Loads of fresh air, professional set up and great location.

Margaret runs a fantastic kennels. Our eight month old dog is just getting used to kennels and had the best time here. The kennels are clean and well maintained and very safe. The kennels are well situated near many west Cork holiday destinations so is ideal for visitors who want their dog to be looked after for a few nights while on holiday. Margaret was really accommodating with arrival and departure times and ensured our pup had playtime, a walk and social time with other dogs. I’d highly recommend the Bantry boarding kennels and we will be back in the future.

We left our 2 year old golden retriever here for the weekend and he was really happy. I’ll definitely be using this kennel again when we travel to west cork. Margaret was so lovely to deal with and sent us a video and pictures over the weekend to let us know he was settling in well. She has her own dogs which she introduced our dog to first and that really settled him down. The kennels looked spacious and clean and there is loads of farm land around for dog walks. Delighted to have found this kennels.

Our experience with Bantry Boarding Kennels was 100% positive. Mags was very helpful and Pepper, our Jack Russell, seems to have really enjoyed her stay. Will definitely use this service again in the future.

Our lab has had a few stays with Margaret & the gang & his excitement when we pull in at the red gates says it all. Big bright clean kennels with lots of areas for play & exercise. Lovely to go away for a few days knowing our dog is enjoying his holidays too - couldn’t recommend them enough🤩🤩

Margaret offers a fantastic service looking after my precious pup extremely well every time she visits. She loves going on 'her holidays', and I know she is always in very safe hands. The facilities are very clean, well maintained & very secure! Thanks for the great facility as always Margaret!!

This is a very special place for dogs. Our two aging pets, who are very used to being at home, absolutely love staying with Mags. We couldn't recommend Bantry Boarding Kennels more highly. If we could give ten stars, we would.

We were delighted to find Bantry Boarding Kennels . Our dog had a great time & is very happy to go back. Mags runs a fantastic service ,is very nice ,professional and very flexible with drop off/ pick up . Our dog was very well looked after. The very best of luck to you Mags with your business

Margaret was excellent it is a wonderful facility really clean plenty of space for the dogs, Margaret was very quick to respond to our queries and sent pics of our dog would highly recommend Bantry Dog Boarding

Very happy. Our dog seemed very happy there and the owner is very nice to deal with. She even sent us videos of our dog getting exercise highly recommended

Fabulous place for placing dogs.mags is super with dogs and has a very natural ability with animals.Our two dogs ,Jake and coco love her and we know this because when they see her they are jumping with joy.

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
