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.
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.
BriAnna was our first pet sitter and we loved her :). She made every step very simple for us, communication was great, Pastis and Anubis seemed to be very happy with her, and the house was very clean when we came back. We highly recommend BriAnna to take care of your pets and we would love to have her back!
Melissa did an AWESOME job with our 4 pets! Her personal style and communication via text, video, and pics were stellar and super comforting while we were out of town for 2 weeks. She showed up before the sit to go over instructions for the pet care and was even here when we returned (before she left for her next engagement). You would never know this was her first TH sit. She quickly earned our trust, asked for clarification when needed, and overall is just a GREAT PERSON!! Her kindness showed through in the care of each and every one of our furry babies. She will be a great sitter for others and is looking to travel across and see more of the US while remote working. We have adopted her into our family and she is welcome in our home anytime. Our whole family hopes to see her again-either for a visit and/or for a sit :) Thank you, Thank you, Melissa!!!
Megan and her partner were INCREDIBLE pet & house sitters during my 5 days away last month. I received consistent communication in the form of updates & photos and I had the true sense that Megan was invested in the wellbeing of my animals and truly enjoyed being with them! My house was CLEANER than I left it (immaculate!) and she left a sweet card thanking us upon our return. Truly the best sitting experience I've had thus far, thank YOU so much!
Jennifer was great and I would highly recommend her. Right from the start, Jennifer was clear and helpful in her communication, and she was very available to us throughout the stay via messaging. She sent pics of our fur babies regularly - without asking - which always makes us happy when we're away. And the biggest compliment I can give: when we came home, our pets were relaxed and happy, and no hidden cat messes to be found (we've had this happen with previous sitters a lot). I would love to have Jennifer stay at our home again in future.
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.
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!
Amazing experience! Five stars all the way... Nikki was kind enough to watch our two cats Thomas and Toby while were away on our honeymoon. From the very beginning she made us feel comfortable with clear communication and quick replies. Since she was local in Atlanta we got to meet her ahead of time and hand off keys before we left. While we were away she sent pictures of our little buds having fun and being themselves, so we always knew they were ok. She always showed up exactly when she said she would from pickup to dropoff and it was so incredible to know they were in good hands, and we never had to worry. They love being around people so for her to have been able to stay with them and love on them regularly we came home and could immediately tell both Thomas and Toby felt great as they were completely comfortable. Much much different than when we leave even for a few days and have a pet sitter stop by and feed them. She asked all the necessary questions in advance, so she didn't have to email or ask anything while we were away. She even took the time to make sure everything was neat and tidy, prepped the sheets to be changed, and was unbelievably sweet to get us a wedding gift we both love. Nikki we can't thank you enough for taking care of our cats, and we would only be so lucky if you stuck around town! :)
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

A very professional and personal business... Brian made us all feel welcome from the first meeting. Our dogs were well looked after and we fully trusted him and his team there. A great setup with plenty of outside space on very secure grounds... We will use this kennel for any future staycations needed... Thanks again! 👍 …
I can’t thank the staff enough for how amazing they were. My two Omen & Nugget had a really great time out at the kennels. The staff were always so kind to my two girls. Really made a difference knowing they were somewhere safe, while I got proper accommodation.
We are always grateful for the care that is shown to our collie Coco. She is a rescue dog and Brian is always able to put her at her ease and it is clear she thoroughly enjoys her annual trip to Galway. Such is our peace of mind knowing she is well cared for we drive from Dublin to Ardrahan with Coco each summer.
Amazing Kennels, I leave my loon Luna (a very busy collie) 😂 at Galway Kennels each year for the last 3 years since she has been a puppy and she just loves the place. I know she is well looked after each time she stays and I can leave her in confidence that she will be happy and have lots of furry friends to play with while she is there. Would definitely recommend.
We were away for a few days and our pet Jessie, absolutely seemed to have a wonderful time. When we arrived there she really looked to be having fun with the other dogs. She got on so well with the owner. The place was clean and all the animals looked so well looked after. Definitely recommend them to any pet owner. Thanks again
Can’t recommend Galway kennels enough. Our dog gets so excited when she knows she arrives there. Brian and the young lady I dealt with were most accommodating. Brian is very knowledgeable about dogs in general and their behaviour and I feel entirely comfortable leaving our pet in their care and will always do so.
Great kennels. Brian was able to tell us all about our dog's characteristics which goes to show he spent proper time to getting to know and taking care of him. He got well socialized with other suitable dogs. Can't fault it and would definitely recommend. This was my first time using kennels and I think it's actually more of a holiday for the dog then us! Haha he loved it!
Our *boisterous* 9 month old male Labrador stayed here for 2 weeks and had the time of his life. The set up and layout is excellent with focus not just on security and hygiene but also on keeping the dogs happy. Brian wasn’t remotely fazed by our high energy pup and I cannot recommend Galway Kennels highly enough.
Galway Kennels is our 'go-to' kennels for boarding our two dogs. They absolutely love it and get super excited when we pull up. We have no doubts about how well they are taken care of, and how much they love to be there - we sometimes struggle to get them back into the car to leave! I have never seen another kennels with such a nice set up, with cosy kennels (including doubles so our boys get to stay together) that do not feel like cages, and a range of outdoor spaces for the doggos to play. Highly recommend.
I called in to see the kennels before I booked the dogs in. I was very impressed. The kennels themselves are warm (with 2 lit stoves as it was November) and welcoming and scrupulously clean. Well laid out with plenty of space and couches around for the dogs to make themselves at home on. And they do. We booked our 3 dogs in for 10 days and from when I arrived with them they made themselves at home. Comfy beds waiting for them in the spacious enclosure. They get great exercise in the doggie play areas also. Brian is an absolute gent who is great with the dogs. I felt they were in good hands all the time I was away. When I came to collect the dogs were in great form. I will definitely book them in again. A home from home for my dogs. They may find home boring after their stay at Galway Kennels which really is more like a dog hotel. Thanks so much for looking after Bowie, Ramsey and Clem so well 😊
