honeybee was a great sitter for our 3 animals. She communicated very well throughout the sit. Our flight home was delayed and she was great about being able to cover the extra days. Her connection to the animals was wonderful. We were less organized than intended on her arrival due to some unexpected work issues, and she was great about rolling with the changes (e.g. the closet doors were missing as the painter hadn't finished with them). She used public transport to get to Golden and then drove our car while here. She left a few items behind, and her attention to kitchen cleanliness could be better, but we would definitely have her sit our pets again if the opportunity arises.
Claire's performance as a house sitter surpassed all expectations, making her an absolute gem in the world of home and pet care. She demonstrated exceptional courtesy and communicated with remarkable clarity and promptness, keeping me informed every step of the way. Punctuality and reliability are hallmarks of Claire's service. She arrived exactly when promised and was fully prepared to manage all the responsibilities we discussed. Her proactive approach and diligent attention to detail provided immense peace of mind. Not only did Claire take impeccable care of my home, but his affectionate and attentive handling of my beloved pup, Modi, was truly heartwarming. Her updates and thoughtful notes about Modi's well-being were incredibly reassuring, making me feel connected even when I was away. Clair's meticulous care extended beyond the basics. She went above and beyond, ensuring that every aspect of my home was looked after with the utmost respect and consideration. From watering plants to maintaining cleanliness, her efforts were nothing short of extraordinary. I wholeheartedly endorse Claire for anyone seeking a trustworthy and dedicated house sitter. I look forward to having her back and cannot recommend her highly enough. A solid 5-star rating is an understatement for the exceptional service she provides!
Angie and Joe were fabulous pet/house sitters and overall people! Angie sent daily updates with photos. Really appreciate the extra effort they put into watering the grass and garden. The house was exactly the same as when I left (including sheets/towel washed, beds made, frig cleaned, dishes put away and trash taken out...). Pretty sure Mia was looking for them the next day as she ran to the guest bedroom. Already scheduled a second sit! If you're lucky enough to land them as pet sitter then you're lucky.
Leah was an excellent pet sitter and take care of our home when we were on vacation. Our dogs were sad when she left. She even made us some delicious tacos when we got home from the airport! We highly recommend her!
Mary Jessica was a wonderful house and pet sitter for our GIANT dog Mamma Mia. She took extremely good care of our house with it cleaner than we left it upon our return. Our neighbors remarked on all the walks she gave Mamma and Mamma seemed very pleased with the entire experience. Mary Jessica was self sufficient, needing very little instruction outside of our Welcome Guide. She followed everything I wrote and asked how much communication I’d want. I’m very pleased and would both recommend her and love to have her again.
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. :)
Jacob sat for us during our holiday in March. We do not have any pets but we do have garden plants etc to look after. Jacob did a fantastic job of looking after the young plants that had arrived by post the day before we went away. He sent us regular updates and photos of how the plants were doing. We came home to a very clean and tidy house and thriving plants. Jacob did a great job and we have no hesitation in recommending him. If he comes back to the Uk and we require a sitter we will contact him first. Well done Jacob.
Janis is absolutely the best pet sitter and home care we have had. She is a regular for us during our Christmas vacation because we totally trust her with the care of our three dogs and the management of our home. She is so good and efficient that I have already requested that she sits for us again next Christmas. Our three dogs absolutely adored her as she played fetch, took them on walks, loved and spoiled them. Management of our home was excellent. I had no concerns whatsoever as we had packages delivered and Mail that needed to be picked up. The house was in much better condition than what we left it. I highly recommend Janis and you will be fortunate to have her as your sitter.
Farhan is a fantastic house sitter! I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a down-to-earth, kind, and caring pet sitter for their home. We have three small dogs (around 6 lbs) and he took excellent care of them. They can be a little nervous/ timid around new people, and more so around men at times, but the dogs didn't show any of that nervousness around Farhan! He was gentle and respectful of their space and they warmed up to him immediately. I got a wonderful text the first morning that I was away that they cuddled up with him at night - showing how quickly they adjusted to him as their caretaker. I was able to meet Farhan in person before I left on my trip and I was able to have a wonderful conversation with an ambitious explorer. He is a delightful person. Upon my homecoming the house was very clean and the dogs were happy and relaxed. I can't ask for anything more! Thank you Farhan for taking such wonderful care of our three dogs and our home.
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!!

The best and safest place to leave your dogs, so well looked after by Gilly. 🐶💚 …
My dog had his first visit to cottage kennels he came home a happy dog. Definitely will be back. Thanks Gillian
Highly recommend Cottage Kennels, my dog was so happy there.. Fantastic service, thanks Gillian.
Best place to leave my dog when we go on holidays without worrying it about him also my dog is very happy to stay with Paul. I recommend it without any doubt.
Put it like this the dogs won't be going back
Brilliant as ever so blessed to have them.
Delighted with the care my dogs got
Gillian and Dave take such care of the pets they care for. what more could you ask for
👍 …
Highly recommended.
My girlfriends parents always bring their dogs here when they're away and they always say how nice and helpful the staff are. A great, well needed service
Very organised with friendly staff. Our dog had a great time. We even received video showing our dog playing with the other dogs.
Cant thank the staff enough for minding my two girls. From start to finish I never felt so at ease leaving them with people who care for them like they were their own. Had a walk around before they were dropped off and the place is in great condition, loads of space to play and run around. I even got a lovely video of them enjoying their walk. Thank you so much guys for everything.
Absolutely brilliant service. I was a little nervous as one of our fur baby’s is a little mental but Mark and his staff has so much experience with all kinds of dogs my nerves went away when I seen the handling and care . We have used doggie daycare and hotel and our dogs always come back so happy and fresh (they love it ) Brilliant place well deserved five stars with compliments. Thanks Guys 🙏
Highly recommend. Our dog is always waiting at the door for Mark to come and take him to day care. Great family run business.
Thank you to Mark and Team for taking great care of our dog Jack. He had a great time on his holidays, loved the video updates!! Excellent facilities and care. Would highly recommend
Absolutely great service from Mark and Rosaleen. Tiger was so happy there while we were on holiday in the area and it gave us freedom to visit some attractions knowing that he was happy and so well looked after. Their barknride service is an excellent innovatiion. Wound highly recommend and use them again
I've thought for a while about whether to post my review but I realised I had to because I based leaving my 3 babies here based on everyone else's 5 star rating and I need to give a reality check review. I rang 6 weeks before Easter to ensure I could get them in from Holy Thursday to Easter Saturday. I arranged that we could collect them between 5pm and 6pm as he closes at 6pm. Any other kennel we have left them into, when we arrived we would introduce the dogs and the kennel owner would greet each in turn, pet them and chat to them, however this man just called over his female employee and told her to put them in the kennel and we could say goodbye after sorting the paperwork. I asked that they be allowed a few minutes of a run around in the grass run area first as they had been in the car over 2hrs and would need to go to the toilet however he refused saying they needed to get used to the kennel for an hour first. He said we were collecting them Easter Monday and I said no its Saturday. He said he was closing a 12noon on Saturday due to his staff leaving at 12 for the bank holiday and he wouldn't be able to manage all the dogs on his own. I said we had arranged to collect them before 6pm. He said he would DO US A FAVOUR AND LET US COLLECT THEM AT 5PM FOR A EXTRA €35. I checked with him that he was going to charge us an extra night that they were not staying. He confirmed that, in other words he was charging us €35 euro extra for a couple of hours. We were appalled but because we were meeting other people I couldn't say immediately if we could collect them in the morning but was determined to try. I also told him that our dog had suffered heat stroke twice and as the weather was warm for the weekend I said he can't be left out longer than 30 mins and asked that he be left in in the cool inside day barn. He laughed and said it never it's that warm in Ireland. I was horrified and stated very clearly that I couldn't risk it happening again. We both felt he didn't have any interest for the dogs safety and no personal interest in them at all. We needed to put Eye drops in one of our dogs eyes before we left and he brought up out to where they were, the concrete floor was wet and they were very upset. He wouldn't take their beds that we had brought to give them a sense of familiarity and comfort. We hated leaving them but unfortunately had no choice. I rang twice Saturday morning to say we were collecting them at 11am and asked him to ring back so I would know he got the message. He didn't but their box of food was in the front yard when we arrived. He just brought them out to us but his manner and attitude showed he had zero interest in the dogs. We were so glad to get them out of there and take them with us. I definitely do not recommend this kennel. I checked his opening times on his page when we left and it still showed 6pm closing on Easter Saturday and showed times may vary for Easter Monday.
Mark and Rosaleen and Audrey... what can I say. They have cared for and continue to care for my dogs with the biggest hearts possible. They have gone over and above for me and my Oscar when he was sick. They minded him as if he was heir own. Oscar and Harley always jumped from my car with such excitement and Mark always facilitated the use of the ramp for my Osk. December took our Osk and I was treated with such care and such love by all the staff even my son who misses Osk everyday. Now... we have adopted another Teddy. And all the gang opened their hearts to the found and bould teddy and allow Harley the time to get used to having a new friend around. I've trusted the gang to take my babies and mind and love them from day care to kennels. My dogs always come home happy and always well cared for and loved. I couldn't possibly recommend Dysert for all your day care and boarding needs for your dogs.... i only wish I could go stay there too sometimes as I've said to Mark many times!!!! Keep up the amazing work you do.... you all have hearts of gold... love Catherine Harley Teddy and of course.... the gentle giant that was our Osk xxxxx
My Dog Kaiser Love's his play time @ Dysert Kennel's, the best of care and attention is always given to each and every dog, I'd highly reccomend Dysert Day Care for your furever friends.
Very clean and safe. Anytime I've left my dogs in George's care, they were given a five-star treatment. Highly recommended
Fantastic boarding kennels, we are really pleased. Both my dogs are in great form after their 3 night stay and best of all, they don’t stink. I found George very friendly and nice to deal with and my very anxious old dog took to him straight away, which is very unusual for her. Ballybeg boarding kennels will be my preferred choice from now on and I would highly recommend them.
Absolutely brilliant. I will most definitely be using the facilities again. George is very helpful and put me at ease straight away. I had never left our dog before so it really helped knowing she was in good hands
Our 2 dogs have been to Ballybeg twice now and they cone home happy and relaxed. The kennels are spotless, spacious and George,the owner is great with the dogs. We know our little guys are well looked after when they're in his care.
Lovely facilities with lots of space, dog was very happy mixing with others. Very clean and was put at ease about leaving dog. Would definitely avail of these kennels again.
Fantastic boarding home so clean and George makes it so easy for a first time visitor and Cooper had a great day. Cooper doesn't travel well in the car and George even took his blanket that he had been sick on to wash....where would you get it! Would highly recommend Ballybeg Boarding Kennels...Cooper going back for a sleepover ....the first of many 😀
Highly recommend! Just collected my dog after 3 days and he did not want to go home he enjoyed himself so much. You can see how much George loves what he does.
My boys absolutely love it here!! They love getting to play all day and always come home exhausted from it! It really shows how well they take care of my boys. If this place was closer to my house I’d board them a few days a week while I was at work just so they could play!
Placed our two much loved dogs into this kennels while away on holidays. Would highly recommend this family run business. Kennels first class and dogs happy out.
It is such a lovely space. The owner couldn't have been more caring of my dogs. A great doggy and owner experience 👏 …
