Mary was fantastic from start to finish and looked after our elderly dog with love and attention to her needs. She also looked after our home with respect and care. We couldn't have asked for a nicer sitter and would highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs.
I felt that my dogs were in good hands with Billy & Cherice - both pups seemed happy and well cared for when I returned from my 3-week trip. My home was also clean and tidy. This was my first experience using an unknown sitter and I felt nervous to leave my dogs for so long while traveling abroad. If they were to stay again I would request more regular photo updates, but otherwise was very happy with Billy and Cherice's pet and home care.
Kelly was a wonderful pet sitter and house sitter! Our dog Cooper adored her. She sent us pictures several times a day and he was always snuggling with her. She kept in touch with us regularly. We have never left our baby before and we were anxious about it but we ended up feeling totally comfortable with Cooper in Kelly’s care. She also kept our potted plants alive during a heat wave and took great care of the house. I couldn’t recommend her more highly.
Alyssa was a very organized and caring pet sitter. This was our longest house sitter stay and she took excellent care of our home and two sweet and bossy Frenchies. I liked her communication to touch base the week before and how she initiated a shared photo album. We prefer not to get bombarded with daily text message photos and updates. She came up with a connected solution and touched base throughout her stay keeping us informed and sharing photos without a push. She even shared some travel gems about our destination as she is also a curious traveler and enjoys exploring outdoors. We would be happy to use her again.
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.
Lindsay and Bryce provided excellent care to our two cats while we were gone. They are great communicators, took amazing care of our apartment and send regular updates and photos so that we knew all was going well. We would absolutely recommend them as responsible and thoughtful pet sitters who can be entrusted with the care of your home and pets.
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!
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!
Jeremy and Brooke were fantastic! We have a senior dog and a over hyper pittie. They gave Daisy her meds and had lengthy walks with Fin to burn off some of his energy. Brooke sent me regular texts to show me precious pictures of the pups by the Christmas tree, which warmed my ❤️. The house looked great when we returned. They are awesome detailed sitters and will make your pets feel loved and secure!!
Milly was a lovely house sitter and I’d highly recommend her. She submitted a really great application and after a FaceTime chat it was an easy decision to choose her for our sit. She is the youngest sitter we’ve chosen but she has a maturity beyond her years and it was clear she had so much experience with animals that we felt confident leaving her in charge of our menagerie. Olive our young Pom has never been left with a sitter before so we were a little worried about how she would be but Milly was so patient, gentle and kind that she quickly won Olive over. So much so, on the morning Milly was leaving ,Olive would only let Milly put her harness on her before going for a walk. All the animals were perfectly cared for while we were away and we returned home to happy pets and a tidy house. Milly’s communication from our first contact and right through the sit was great and she even sent a lovely video of the dogs having fun on their walk. I’d have Milly back to housesit for us again anytime.

Ted my miniature Jack Russell, spent a week with the lovely Yvonne and Ian and he could not of been looked after better. Bed & Biscuit offers excellent up to date facilities and the care and attention given to each dog is amazing. Each pet has their own run and there is a play area for them as well. You can leave your fur baby there in the comfort and knowledge that they are in excellent hands. They have a grooming parlor as well so your pooch can get pampered if you want when they are on their holiday there.
First post didn't save. Thank you both for looking after Kimiko. At 15 weeks we were nervous as shes soo small but our minds were at complete ease after speaking to Ian and seeing the facility and where she would be staying for her 2 nights and daily routine. I received pictures also of her enjoying a walk and it's very apparent that you's love dogs and understand them and their comfortability levels of not rushing and taking it at their own pace. Kimi even tried following Ian back in when i was bringing her to the car 😅
Our Brandi just loves his holidays in Bed and Biscuit. Yvonne and Ian take such wonderful care of him and their facilities are amazing, wouldn't mind spending a night there myself.
Bed and Biscuit is an amazing place, more like a creche for dogs than kennels, Ian and Yvonne are so nice and treated Bella our nervous cockapoo like one of their own. Updated us with pictures when we were on holidays. Would highly recommend 10/10
My Bobby is a real house pet, it’s mainly just the two of us so I was quite nervous leaving him. The owners met, greeted, chatted & explained how it all works. The Dog Centre is a five star hotel for woofs. Bobby was so happy when I collected him & absolutely no after effects…. He was groomed & content so if I need him minded again in Wexford I’ll be back. Would highly recommend. Thank You most sincerely for minding my little sweetheart xx. 🐾💕
Bed & Biscuit is probably the best kennels I have ever come across. Ian & Yvonne are lovely, friendly, people who did a great job of looking after my two dogs, Sadie & Samson last week. (15th til 22nd June) Nothing is too much trouble for them 🌟The kennels are clean, spacious, bright and well laid out with the dogs stimulation & welfare at heart. They are amazing 👍 and reasonably priced. We will definitely be boarding our dogs at Bed & Biscuit again. Thanks Ian & Yvonne for everything. 💐
Ian was amazing with all of us, he did explain how bed and biscuit works and he asked all the details about our dogs. I felt confident that was the right place. When I back from my holidays, Bocka and Bardot was super happy and very well looked after. I trust them and I feel they got love, attention and all what they need. Bardot is on meds and Ian managed it super well. Thank you so much for look after our babies very well. Super recommended.
We have been leaving our adored dog Riley at Bed and Biscuit for several years now, we cannot recommend it highly enough. Ian and Yvonne adore dogs, it is so obvious from the minute you set foot in their state of the art premises that is is all about the safety and comfort of the dogs. The area where each dog is kept is roomy and airy and there are given large comfortable beds to sleep on. Riley doesn't like being away from us and can be inclined to refuse to eat. Yvonne and Ian make it a priority that Riley eats, (not our experience in other kennels), and have lots of experience and 'tricks' to ensure that he does eat. There is a large outdoor area for the dogs to run around and they are also brought on regular walks. We are updated during the week about how Riley is settling in and this is a great comfort to us. The cleanliness of the kennels is second to none and all the dogs there seem so content when we drop or pick up. We would highly recommend using Bed and Biscuit, you will have great piece of mind and more importantly your dog will be well cared for and have great fun in fabulous surroundings.
Amazing kennels. Yvonne and Ian are so contentious and bent over backwards to help us with our anxious rescue dog. Very reasonable rates and excellent care.
Yvonne and Ian are amazing kind people who look after the dogs like they are their own. I haven't had good experiences with dropping my dogs into kennels in the past so I was a bit apprehensive about leaving them again but as soon as I met Yvonne and Ian, my mind was at ease. It was evident how much they love and care for the animals. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to leave their dog in the kennels. Thank you so much guys for looking after my two and keeping me updated on how they were doing while I was away
Excellent kennels for dogs. Plenty of enclosed areas for them, both grass and concrete. Dog sleeping area is large and pens are well laid out. Nicky Turner is your man there. He was certainly very good with my dog. Highly recommend.
I was so anxious of leaving my cookie with someone new for a week, especially a dog kennel. She was treated like a queen even got groomed. She wasn't alone as I had two other babies go with her. Came back picked her up and she was so excited to see me. My heart melted. I could not recommend this place enough as all I can say is it's amazing and you won't go wrong by choosing here. Thank you so much for looking after my best friend 🧡
I was debating whether or not to share my familys experience but I can't bite my tongue anymore. My family went on holidays and left our puppy with this crowd, only to return to him with an infected neck from being attacked by another dog — proper teeth sunk into his neck in multiple places. The kennel did not tell us this happened, my brother found out when he went to the car. It was badly infected which can only mean he was attacked upon his first or second night at the kennel. No responsibility was taken by the kennel until we asked them to pay for the vet bill. Shocking management and poor attention for the dogs in their care. Not to mention our puppy was so anxious when he came home, absolute disgrace of a place. If you are about your dogs wellbeing, don't send them here because you won't know what actually happens.
First time Leaving our 3 boys anywhere as we were away for month getting married l. I would highly recommend Nick and his boarding Kennells dogs were nervous when we left them but when we picked them up they seemed to have really taken to Nick. He also sent me updates via text and video would definitely recommend.
Well my two beautiful dogs went to Forth mountain boarding kennels last week for 3 days and I have to say the quality and treatment was second to none - Nick is obviously a fantastic dog man and my nervous German Shepherd took to him instantly- I can highly recommend these boarding kennels as both clean and comfortable and plenty of area for the dogs to get necessary exercise- we will definitely be back -
Highly recommend Nick and his Boarding Kennels,my dog stayed twice there now and she was well looked after. She returned in great shape. I even received a video update. I will definitely use this service again
I left my dog in with forth mountain kennels and they looked after my dog very well I don’t think she wanted to leave when we came back. The kennels and the area around them is kept very clean and tidy. I’d have no issues recommending anyone to use forth mountain kennels And I’d have no issues with bringing my dog back to them.
Just collected my Two dogs after 9 nights and delighted with the service, our dogs 1st time in away from us so we were very nervous leaving them..we got photos and updates throughout the week through WhatsApp from nick , highly recommend this place. Will definitely be using forth mountain kennels again, thanks again nick
My dogs are always happy to go here when we go on holiday, and come home happy and healthy. You couldn't ask for anything better
Fantastic kennels, our two dogs are always very happy to go in..and sad to leave...Nick is both friendly and professional...highly recommend!
Our dog Bear stayed at Willow Farm Kennels for a week. I can’t recommend it enough, Rebecca was fantastic with him and I can’t thank her enough for the care she gave him. She sent us updates of him throughout the week which made us feel at ease. It’s like a hotel for dogs!! Would definitely recommend!
All at Willow Farm looked after my dog Zuko like he was their own. I felt completely at ease that he would not only have his basic needs met while we were away but he was also loved, played with, walked and talked to like he was part of the family! We got video and picture updates that we could see how content and happy we was while we were away and this gave us such peace of mind - he was on his own little holiday. Would (and have!!) recommend Willow Farm Kennels to everyone, especially if you are a little nervous about leaving your dog in Kennels, this is the place for you it's more of a home from home setting.
Our two dogs are just back from a 9 day stay at Willow Farm Kennels. I was so anxious leaving one of our dogs as she has hardly ever been away from us in 7 years, well I needn’t have worried Rebecca and Marc were absolutely amazing, sending us daily videos and messages gave us the reassurance we needed. The level of care and kindness given to our dogs meant the absolute world to our family, even returning home with freshly washed bedding. We can’t thank Rebecca enough and most certainly will be returning for more top class care
Our dog Bailey has stayed with Rebecca a few times now at Willow Farm Kennels. I just can’t recommend this place enough. From the moment you drop off your pet here you just get a sense they will be loved and spoilt for their entire stay. It really is like a doggy hotel and they have their own little vacation. Extremely personalised service and Rebecca gives you updates on how your dog is doing so you can enjoy your trip without worry.😁 Top class treatment and care for your 🐕🐩🐕🦺
My dog has stayed with Rebecca twice now and it has been amazing and he has had the best time. Rebecca was so in tune with my dogs needs and helped him settle in which put my mind at ease. She sent lovely pictures and updates and I could see he was loving his stay there. The second time we brought him back he jumped out of the car into the kennel without looking back at us, so we knew he was thrilled to be back. I would highly recommend willow farm kennels ☺️
We just collected our two terriers last week and they were two very happy boys! Rebecca is a lovely lady who runs a fantastic kennel at Willow Farm Kennels. We visited her premises beforehand and we were delighted to see how cosy and clean the kennels were. Also Rebecca has a lovely safe turnout area, our boys are master escape artists and they were perfectly safe!! Rebecca loves What she does and the effort she and her family put in shows through in her lovely facility. Fantastic place for your indoor furry friends! Very warm and caring. 😊❤️
Willow Farm Kennels is home away from home for any dog. They truly love and care for their canine wards. My dog Lucy has typically gotten homesick when we have left her in kennels, but not with Rebecca. We collected Lucy and after 2 weeks she was happy, well fed and well exercised!
Fantastic Kennels. Rebecca is so nice and updates customers with videos to let you see how your pet is doing. Can't recommend her highly enough.
Bailey my 6 year old Maltese just returned for a 10 day holiday with Rebecca! Willow Farm is such a lovely home from home environment - Rebecca sent videos of Bailey living his best life running around and playing with other dogs, it meant we could relax and enjoy our break knowing he was happy and so well looked after. We will definitely be back
Willow farm Kennels is very much a home away from home experience for your dog. Rebecca went above and beyond to make our dog Coco feel at home. Although Coco didn't make it easy Rebecca continued to do everything to make Coco feel more at home in her new environment. Coco was walked daily and came home very happy and content. I would highly recommend Willow Farm Kennels to anyone.
Sharon @ Walkiepaws provides a 5* service , highly recommend her dog minding business. Bonnie had a ball , would happily return. Thanks Sharon !
Sharon minded our dog coco at her home this weekend , he was so well looked after and she brought him for beach walks which he loves. As it was his first time there she updated us with pictures over the weekend. Would 100% recommend and will definitely use this service again
We are so delighted to have found the services of Walkie Paws. Sharon is a very friendly and has been so helpful to us. She has been amazing with Logan. Showing such love and care to him. He is so happy and relaxed when he is there and he comes home relaxed and calm after his stay🥰. We love the way sharon keeps us up to date when is staying with her with pictures and message updates. We love being able to se how he is getting on. We would highly recommend Walkie Paws to any dog owners 😊
We love bringing our golden retriever to Walkie Paws and he is always excited to go! It gives us peace of mind that he is being well looked after and socialised while we are at work. Sharon will always send us photos/updates throughout the day to let us know how he is doing. He always comes home tired and relaxed. We highly recommend her!
Sharon was absolutely fantastic with Bó. He doesn't do well in the kennels in the cold weather so we were happy to know he was safe and warm and well looked after. She is amazing with dogs and I knew the moment I collected him by his behavior that he had a great experience. The videos and pic sent during his stay was just further proof. It's apparent that she is a natural dog lover. I highly recommend Sharon for your dog!
We’ve two large dogs who are more than a handful and we needed a safe pair of hands to mind them when we were away for a week. We wanted them to have a home from home holiday and that’s exactly what they got. Sharon was fantastic with them and from the regular video updates, we knew they were having as good a holiday as we were.
I stayed at Kelly's hotel for 3 nights and I feel Tony had just as much of a break as I did. She had walks on the beach, played with Sharon's dogs and it felt so good to know she was happy and loved where she was. Sharon was amazing, and obviously loves dogs. Tony is a rescue and can be a bit of a diva with other dogs, but it seemed no problem for Sharon and I was so grateful for her reassurance. I will 100% be back again and cannot recommend them enough.
Sharon is brilliant with Barnaby. We struggled to find someone we could trust and be happy that Barnaby was going to go on walks and stay with. He does not suit kennel life so when we came across Sharon with Walkie Paws we were delighted. We did a meet and greet where Sharon came and met Barnaby and we were both satisfied that they were a good fit for each other. Sharon gives us regular updates and pictures of Barnaby's day and how he is getting on. Any changes or things to be concerned over Sharon will let us know. Barnaby had a small graze on his front leg (he got this at home) that Sharon let us know about and checked if we wanted to get anything for this. Sharon has done check ins for us as well when we have been out for the day. The service is brilliant and we could not rate Walkie Paws any greater. Barnaby loves going out with Sharon and staying with her and her own family. We would highly recommend these services to anyone looking for a home from home boarding, check ins or dog walking. The service is very calm and professional. We feel Barnaby is in the safest of hands with Sharon, we wouldnt take him anywhere else now. Thank you!
Sharon took care of Toffee (5 month old retriever) for us at short notice recently. She went out of her way to accommodate us and was so helpful. Toff had a wonderful time with her and her daughter, and we can't thank her enough for helping us out when we were stuck. Sharon took Toffee for walks, played with him throughout the day, and kept us updated with pictures and videos throughout the day. He was having a ball and that reassurance was priceless for us. It's so reassuring to be able to leave your dog with someone and know that they're in safe hands and being very well cared for. Sharon is obviously crazy about dogs and I'd highly recommend her.
We sent our two lovely Irish Red Setters to Sharon and we were quite nervous leaving them for a full two weeks while we were on holidays. It was a huge relief to find out what amazing care they received and how healthy and happy they both were when we collected them! They got daily walks on the beach, most days two walks on the beach and were in a happy and loving home instead of a standard kennel. 100% recommend Walkie Paws, Sharon is so loving and kind.
We have been using kosy kennels for quiet a while now , helen is amazing with the animals , the premises is very clean and well kept . Our cat and dog are well looked after when they visit kosy kennels .
Always leave our cat Smokie here when going abroad. Owners are terrific and we always have peace of mind when away. Smokie is always well cared for and the place is immaculate nestled deep in the countryside south of Murntown ✅✅✅✅
Lovely couple. Great care and love of the animals. Everything well maintained.
Had to leave my elderly dog there last minute for one night because of a personal emergency. She was there less than 12 hours and came back cold, covered in dust and hadn't eaten. The owners wife was extremely aggressive from the get go and told me my dog was so overweight it was animal abuse (she goes to the vet every six months who said she's a healthy weight) called her a "yolk" and after 30 seconds of meeting me said my dog should be put up for adoption and owned by someone who "knows what they're doing". This coming from a woman who then proceeded to grab my dog by the scruff of the neck to try get her into the kennel. I also rang in advance to check that all the dogs are kept separate as my dog is a rescue. The woman lets her own dog run off leash around the kennels and where you park your car which I don't think is very safe. My dog means the world to me so to have her treated this way was deeply upsetting as was the way I was spoken to. I would dread to think what state she would be returned to me in if I had left her there longer than one night. Absolutely shocking. Owners should be ashamed of themselves.
We were very disappointed by the customer service when we arrived to collect our dog. (7 month old rottweiler). All started off well. We went in and she was let out to us no problems, until we mentioned that she also had a lead. We followed the owner to the back and I got shown all the kennels which was nice. But then the owners wife came in with another customer and her dog. My dog still off lead went to see the other dog, she did not do any harm whatsoever she was interested is all. The other dog was also interested in my dog and they went to play. The other dog got off the lead and the two continued to play. The dogs owner then mentioned that it was her dog that got off and it wasn't a problem but during this time the kennel owner threw her hands around saying my dog was uncontrollable and that we as do owners don't have her under control saying a dog like her should be muzzled at all times, this was when she was still at the kennel accommodation, she is also only 7 months old. She was let out by the kennel owner to run around, not by me.! I was disgusted at her comments towards us as noone was hurt the dogs were fine and to say that I the owner of 6 dogs and work with animals everyday cannot control my dogs is incorrect and ignorant. One kennel owner said my dog was fantastic another said she is to be muzzled and is uncontrolled!! We then went to pay and it was 15e one nights stay. She charged 30e when my husband questioned her she said that's just what I'm charging you. Shocked and annoying I just paid and left. When we rang later on that day we asked if anything went on and if she was bold for his wife to react the way she did. He said no my dog is a great dog his wife just doesn't like big dogs they make her nervous. This is a woman who is a dog groomer. I am an animal handler/ dog groomer and animal behaviourst I know if you deal with animals everyday it's rare that any size dog intimidates you so this isn't true. We will not ever be going back. And won't recommend to anyone.
Booked our mini schnauzer in at Easter while we had a wkd at Ferrycarrig Hotel (handy drive).A really lovely spot, happy dogs all round & kids got a little tour of the place. 8 yr old was worried our dog would be lonely, but left her there happily knowing she was in great hands. Highly recommend
Kosy Kennels looked after my 3 month old puppy for 3 days & she was very happy & content. They are lovely people & the kennels are very clean with a stressfree atmosphere. I would reccommend for any cats & dogs without hesitation.
Never again. Absolutely shocking customer service and tried to be over charged. Woman owner even made a comment about wanting to take an overdose of valume and again when we were leaving said if we knew anyone with valume to send them up to her. Then laughed and walked away. Very unprofessional. Only giving one star because have to submit at least one.
Left my kitten here twice and she was really well cared for....place is very clean and secure and the owners Helen and John are lovely and kind.
Left our dogs for 16nights, there a slim breed of dog but they were certainly thinner when we got them back, not to mention that they were both filty, they were dusty like they'd been lying in concrete dust, certainly won't be leaving them here again. I'd rather not go on a holiday then put them here.
Riley had a five star experience in this beautiful home in a stunning location. He had plenty of walks and was very well cared for by Rosemarie. Would highly recommend.
Rosemary is a wonderful person to look after your dog our mj is always happy to stay with Rosemary and we can go away knowing he is in such good hands.
Excellent caring facility for your pet.
I was only in the car park.
Everything for pets
