We feel like we’ve won the pet and house sitter lotto with Scott. Most importantly, he’s taken great care of our much loved little dog, giving him a lot of care, affection and attention. He paid close attention when Tingsha began scratching (allergy to an insect bite) which needed vet care, with great communication with us. He even took Tingsha to his agility school class each week (great fun had by all) and to get a groom. We’ve come home to a contented and very happy dog. The house is spotless, cleaner than we left it, with fresh flowers and the bed all made up. Perfect! We had regular contact with Scott all through our five week trip and being “fellow travellers” (in all senses) enjoyed sharing lots of local travel tips and experiences as we each visited new parts of the world. We were happy to lend Scott our car and he’s been great with it, super responsible. Scott is a really terrific guy and a fabulous journalist and story teller (you must listen to his podcast about his travels, it’s a cracker). In sharing our home and trusting our beloved dog with him, we feel like we’ve made a new friend along the way. We recommend Scott without any hesitation and thank him for a wonderful experience, we’d love him to come back and see us, anytime. Thanks a bunch!
Another amazing sit by Anna and her lovely family - our cocker spaniel Holly has had the best fortnight with these guys with lots of adventures and endless amounts of love and attention! Highly recommend as 5-star house and pet sitters - thank you Anna - hope to see you again!
Sharon was by far the best sitter I’ve ever had! From the very first time we connected, she was communicative and proactive with follow up. She asked great questions prior to her stay and I could tell she’s done this many times and that she genuinely cares about the pets and homes she cares for. Sharon went above and beyond to leave my house in ever better shape, cleaning and organizing. It was a dream to come home to! Thank you Sharon!
Not only did our pets enjoy meeting Kelly and Christopher, my husband and I enjoyed meeting them as well! They are personable and kind, organized and communicative, and most of all excellent pet sitters. Kelly and Chris are attentive housesitters. They went out of their way to connect with our dogs, especially Smitty, our rescue. The dogs were walked, brushed, and played with throughout the weeklong sit. They sent pics of how our fur babies were doing and truly seemed to enjoy their time with them. The peace of mind that comes with great house sitters who care for your precious pups and the home you love is priceless. Thank you once again, Kelly and Christopher! We hope to see you again!
Early in 2023 I went searching for a sitter to sit with our Lizzie for a month. I found Lori during my search and I am so happy I did. Lori’s reviews are all five star and I can fully attest as to why. Lori was so friendly and kind and I could tell from the moment she met Lizzie that she would take great care of her. I received daily pictures of her and Lizzie snuggling and I couldn’t have been happier knowing my girl was receiving a lot of love. Lori left our home in wonderful shape (probably better than I left it for her). She took great care and was very conscientious of all my plants. We even came home after a very long day of travel to some wonderful chicken soup. Lori will take wonderful care of your home and your precious pet. Do not hesitate to contact her for your pet sitting needs. I already have her booked for 10/2024 so don’t try and get her then!!!😁
Ce was an amazing house sitter for our best bud Atlas. She not only took amazing care of our needy pup, she took great care of the home as well. I honestly think she left it cleaner than I left it for her! We certainly hope she is around the next time our best friend needs a friend. If you're looking for a responsible caregiver for your pets and home - look no further!
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!!
Leo and Susi were wonderful pet sitters for our two cats. They were responsive, communicative, and gracious guests, and the I swear the house was cleaner when we got home than we left it. The cats were very contented. Any time we leave we will be checking in with them first. Such a pleasure to work with.
If you’re lucky enough to find Anna as your pet sitter you will have peace of mind and well cared for pets whilst you are away and a clean and tidy home on your return. Anna is thoughtful and kind, she arrived the evening before the sit which allowed for some time to hear about her interesting travels and work, kept me updated with fabulous photos and details of the friendship she was making with the cats and even took the trouble to fix a sticky catch on the cat flap. I can recommend her as a sitter without hesitation. Thank you Anna
Jessica was an awesome pet sitter for my cat Fifi. She texted photos and updates everyday so I knew that Fifi was being well cared for. She was communicative and asked a lot of good questions to make sure she understood Fifi's needs. My home was equally as clean (if not more so) upon my return. I would highly recommend Jessica!

Posh paws and maria is just on another level of service. Our 2 bichon were booked to stay but sadly one of our dogs passed away and I was so worried about leaving molly alone for the week after losing her wee buddy. But I had absolutely nothing to worry about. Maria took such great care and always keeping us updated. The play area and the fun with the other dogs was great for her and her beautiful wee bedroom was so adorable,safe and comfortable. I couldn't recommend maria enough offering the best care and service at all times.
Maria is so helpful, Mr waffles has stayed there 3 times and most recently during our wedding, Maria also provided us with an excellent wedding service and brought mr waffles to meet us after ceremony for pictures, she went above and beyond and even got him into his wee tuxedo 😊 she takes such much care of the dogs there we could not recommend her more.
Very good
Excellent reception and friendly staff!
5 Stars does not even come close to the service Tony and Nuala provide. From last minute bookings, changes to my bookings mid trip and all are accommodated with a smile. They treat my dog like their own and are regularly sending pictures and video updates to my wife. I could not recommend them enough.
Tony and Nuala provide an excellent service. Our two dogs were so happy and safe during their stay. We were provided with regular updates that we were so happy to receive. Tony loves dogs and provides a safe and nuturing environment. We would highly recommend For the love of Dawgs to family and friends!
Phoebe stayed overnight while we were away. She came home exhausted but very happy. Thank you, Tony. We really appreciate knowing our Diva is well looked after.
We left our two dogs, Gambit and Rogue, to the care of Tony. They stayed for two nights, and we couldn’t be happier with the service they received. Tony treated them exceptionally well, ensuring they felt comfortable and loved during their stay. We were very anxious as it was the first time they had stayed, but we didn't have to worry. Our pups came back happy and relaxed, which speaks volumes about the quality of care they received. We really appreciated Tonys attention to the care and needs of our pups. We loved receiving the updates and videos. We highly recommend For the love of Dawgs to fellow pet owners. It’s a worry-free option for your furry companions, and we’ll definitely use their services again in the future!
An exceptional service provided by Tony and Nula who are true lovers of dogs. It's almost as if their home and garden have been designed with the love, care and nurturing of dogs in mind. Convenient, safe and accessible - it's really an hotel experience for our dog. Thank you both. And thank you for managing to take the dog to be groomed when I was unable to make the appointment due to holidays. Highly recommended!
Tony and Nuala looked after my Labrador Archie for a couple of nights .We never leave him so I was nervous. They went above and beyond to look after him. I would highly recommend and wouldn't use anyone else. Thanks again
Rolo is just back from a stay with Tony and Nuala. He is absolutely exhausted after 4 days of fun! This is our third time leaving Rolo with Tony. Our minds are always at ease as we know he is getting really well cared for! Would highly recommend sending your dogs here!
We rescued our 18month collie just over 14 weeks ago. We needed somewhere to keep him for 10 days while we were away, a came accross these guys. Did a visit and we have just collected the Collie from his stay. Have to say 💯 to the couple. The owners only keep few dogs at a time which is nice as our boy has had no real social interaction with other dogs which we are working on, we got great advice and he was well looked after. The couple only starting this wee business and you can see they really do care for their dogs. We recommended 2 other dog owners to this place and they came back with positive feedback also.So highly recommend. Dogs are well cared for and they keep you up to date with the stay.
We left our wee dog with Tony. He took care of him very well, excellent service, fully recommendable
Tony and Nuala , takes care of our dog like their own. Whenever I am traveling , I always know he is having a great time with his with “second parents”
Pictured here, shouting at Jacqui to hurry up and let him in, this boy is always desperate to get in to play with Jacqui, Gemma and André (and Ríonnach when he's very lucky) He goes for day care and has been for years, and he just LOVES his days there. He's still excited everyday when he sees his lunch getting packed and knows where he's going. Thanks for the countless hours with peace of mind and for loving my wee boy like your own.
Jacqui brilliant my dog is very nervous around anyone but me and my partner but he absolutely loves going to four paws doesn't even look back when he's in car highly recommend
Can recommend th iui s place highly enough Jacqui looks after your pets as if there her own family we wouldnt leave our 2 boys with anyone else they love the place and so do we
Four Paws is literally the best kennels in Donegal. Jacqui truly cares about animals and makes sure that they are loved and looked after. The people that work with her are great. Ten out of ten, absolutely superb, I wouldn't send my 12 year old dog anywhere else.
Nice people. Dog had a great time and was extremely happy. Highly recommend
Jacqui is amazing with our rottweiler Caesar! And he LOVES his stays! Jacqui helped us during a family emergency during Covid and we've used her numerous times since. Always accommodating, professional but still makes you feel happy to leave our baby
My dog stayed here for a week on holidays.he loved it.
The very best kennel, home from home, holiday home for my four-legged family member. I have complete peace of mind knowing my dog is in the best of hands with Jacqui at Four Paws. It's a pleasure to see all the happy, healthy, playful dogs at the kennels on pick-up and collection. I'm only afraid that my dog might have way more fun there than at home with me!
We wouldn't leave our boys anywhere else, Jacqui looks after all the animals as if they are her own, they are so well looked after, the kennels are always spotlessly clean. They have activities while they are there, they get to socialise. We have happy dogs going in which is always a good sign. All the staff are very competent and the animals are always the first priority.
I’m not trying to be rude or put down a small business here but I just wanted to let people know that this place is not suitable for cats. My cats were put into a small cage maybe 1x1.5 metres with their food and litter tray in with them. There was no heat and their beds had snail trails left on them when I brought them home. There’s no outdoor space for cats as far as I know either. As I said, I’m not trying to be rude but if you plan to leave cats here I would advise against it. It looks good for dogs however.
Found Fluffy Paws online last year after moving to Letterkenny and needing someplace for an occasional stay for our greyhound. Barbara is warm and friendly and our dog loves her. Kennels look cosy and our dog is always happy on arrival and departure. Happy to recommend
We have just picked our Newfie from the kennel. Like almost every dog owner I had been very anxious how our dog would manage and after collecting him I was amazed how well he was looked after. I can only recommend this kennel to everybody. The place is very clean, dogs are very well looked after and the owners are so nice and apparently true dog lovers who understand dogs' souls. Thank you so much. Jiri
My dogs spent 4+weeks with this Kennel in 2022. They were very well cared for, the pens are spotlessly clean, clean beds and toys are provided. There is no bad odors. My dogs had their main meal prepared and cooked daily as they both have tricky tummies. I could not be happier with the standard of care that they received. Real pet lovers.and attention
Very kind people and good standard of care for the dogs Comfortable accomadation for them . Clean with good green spaces for dog. And safe individual units. Reasonable charges . Can't fault them
Fantastic place.Owners are amazing people loving animals.My dog was very happy there.This hotel is fantastic just like home, very clean. Dogs have super care . Highly recommended.Many,many thanks to Beata and Janek for taking such a great care of our Kate.
Great kennels better than expected. Dogs are very well looked after. Very friendly staff great atmosphere all round.Really friendly owner. Beautifully kept and animals extremely well cared for. Great value for money. would highly recommend.
Literally could not be more accommodating, dogs always get so excited going over and know just where they've to go. Wouldn't leave them anywhere else now that we've found fluffy paws ☺️
Fantastic facilities, our Jack Russell, Tully was very well looked after. We will definitely use fluffy paws hotel again 😊 …
Thank you so much for looking after milo.for the past 2 weeks .I would highly recommend fluffy paws hotel and spa.they look after yor dog brilliant.2 time down there .wouldn't leave him any where else
Excellent service and they genuinely love dogs.. Highly recommend..
We have been using Bow-wows & Meows for the last 12 years, and they provide an excellent service. Our first dog teddy, who only passed away recently, loved staying with them. I don’t think he wanted to come home as he was having such a good time playing with the other dogs! Our new dog Bentley is just as excited when he see Alan and his family, as they are so good to the dogs. They keep the dogs in their own house. Alan was sending us videos when we were on holidays which was great as you could see how happy he was playing in the back garden with the other dogs. It's just such peace of mind. I dont know what we would do without Alan and Karen looking after Bentley when we are on holiday and taking him for a walk during the week. The walks they provide are great, Bentley is socialising with other dogs, and the dog training is brilliant. They are very passionate about looking after and training dogs. Can't recommend them enough!
Our little dog Jasper suffers from separation anxiety so we are always worried when we need to leave him, but we really trust Alan and Karen. When it is impossible to bring him with us, we know he will be treated, looked at and loved like he was with us. Thank you very much guys for your excellent service!
My two boys out 3 times a week and are much better with other dogs on the lead now brilliant service
Great service our dog Jurgen loves his walks with Karen and Alan
Thanks Alan and all at bow wow and meow etc for looking after Rory so well
Dogs minded in the home and taken for walks. Also get updates while being minded. Very professional setup.
Great reliable friendly service,
The best dog walking and sitting service in the northwest
Amanda was an absolute lady from the get go. We left our lab and kitten with her and they had a ball. Recommend her so much and wil definitely be back. 10 stars
Awesome service. Very friendly staff. Felt very safe and comfortable.
Cat came back stinking of piss, and scabs on his legs. The kennels and cattery seems to be run by mostly teenagers.
If I could give Amanda ten stars, that wouldn’t be enough! From the first time we boarded our dogs, Magnus and Miso, here, we had an amazing experience (and so they did). Amanda is very accommodating and knowledgeable. One time we had a bit of a last minute concern with one of our boys, and she kept an eye on him the whole time. We know our boys will be in good hands when we board them with Amanda. I can’t recommend her enough!
Have been using these kennels for years and they are amazing. Would recommend them to anyone. Amanda and Brian look after my dog so well each and every time he visits and gives me peace of mind that he is looked after properly. He always comes back a happy dog
I left my Westie here, she is 11, it's the first time I had to leave her in kennels. I was nervous and afraid she would not settle. When I went to pick her up.... she was more interested in another wee dog that was leaving, and was smelling the door to get back in.That says it all for me. Defo recommended Amanda's I will be very happy to leave Tiny here again
l was anxious about leaving my 13 year old dog in a boarding kennel as she hadn’t been in a kennel since she was 2 years old. I needn’t have worried however as Bryan and Amanda provided a very relaxed environment for my dog and gave us peace of mind to leave her there, I would definitely recommend Amanda’s Kennels and will look forward to using them again.
Always use Amanda's as they are really nice people who understand your pets needs. I got the drop off times wrong and she still welcomed us with open arms despite the threat of a wooden spoon if it did it again ☺
Spent a couple of nights in a nearby hotel and put the dog into this kennel. Have to say the dog seemed to have come through the experience ok. Amanda's partner took the dog to his kennel which we didn't get to see but the kennel has a few rescue dogs one with a rear leg missing but you wouldn't have known when he ran after a football. The dog was very happy and this said a lot to me about the owners who would care for my dog. My dog wasn't stressed when I lifted him and he appeared to be in good form also. He was fed and looked after can't ask for more.
Great place for our Dog Goldie. Amanda and family are very accommodating as Goldie arrived with her medication😊 peace of mind while we are away, and Goldie is relaxed on arrival, I guess because she knows it's like home away from home with all the attention she get. Thanks as always. …
Very nice place my tyson like it there
Best kennels and groomer there is would recommend to anyone
Our dogs had never been to Kennels before and Top Dog was recommended to us by a friend. We liked what we saw so booked them in for their 'holidays' this month. They had a great time, were happy and very well cared for by Adrian and his staff. Will certainly use Top Dog Kennels again and can recommend them to anyone looking to board their dogs.
Our dog has been going to Top dog since she was a pup .Adrian and Karen look after her and we don't need to worry when we r away .Will totally recommend Top dog .
A big thank you to Adrian and all the staff for doing such a brilliant job looking after our wee Heidi yesterday, it was great to see the video of her having so much fun with all the other dogs, and we were able to enjoy our day a whole lot more knowing that she was in good hands. Thank you again, Sharon, Jim and family. 🐕
The best holiday for your pet my dog loves the place Karen and Adrian are two of the most caring people towards your pet and grooming is fantastic. great people, great place, great price.
It was easy enough to do and got a answer bk within the 24hr and any help I needed was replayed. I would recommend topdog to anyone my dogs always stay there. And they love it.
Used on a few previous occasions, refused service when a new booking was made for not being 'regular enough'. Will gladly take custome to a more welcoming service
My dog Lucky enjoyed her stay and was well looked after.
Great place. Staff are very experienced. A good place for your pet to stay if going away on holiday.
Excellent service & Snowflake loves going to see Bertina. Highly recommend 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 …
Lovely people. Their knowledge of dogs is brilliant and they know how to treat your best friend. At any time I have visited there has always been a friendly welcoming people to hand to help. The more information you can provide about your pet the better they can tend to their needs .
It is like a palace and my dog is never stressed after her groom, received great advice for my dog and the Owner is just brilliant. My dog Ailbhe never wants to hop.in the car when her groom is done. B is great. Ailbhe will love her stay in a few weeks ❤🥰 …
We were blessed that Auntie B was able to accommodate our two cocker spaniel boys. Who i open heartedly admit can be wee thugs....as in the best escape artists ever. Not only did they have an absolute ball,were kept safe and secure, but the brats didn't even want to come home 🤣🤣. Seriously though our babies will definitely be going back for sleep overs as they were not stressed out, but happy and clearly loved their time there. Thank you so very much.
Hi am looking for a number to book my pup in
By far and away, hands down, the best kennnels in Ireland. It's super busy for a reason! My Buddy had a wonderful time while we went on our two week break and had regular pics and updates throughout.
Amazing service, so happy with everything, Bertina is amazing! Will definitely visit again soon!! Totally recommend! Joey&Teo
Highly recommended! Our puppies are treated like one of the family and love going to Sleepy Paws 😊 …
I love this crazy lady and my dogs love going there, just like one big crazy happy family..
Dogs very happy too go on doggy day care. Very content dogs
