Kate was an absolute dream and was the best pet sitter I could have possibly asked for! Kate was extremely trustworthy, communicative, and reliable, and provided frequent updates while I was away. She left my apartment spotlessly clean and even took the initiative to fix my wobbly towel bar. Finally, Kate took excellent care of my cat Daisy and I came home to a happy and content cat! Kate was amazing all around and I would be thrilled to have her sit for me again at any time. Thanks for everything!
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.
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.
Natalie and Christian were dream pet sitters while we were out of the country for 2.5 weeks. From start to finish, they were reliable and professional, with excellent communication. They had took great care of our dog and chickens and left the house and car in great shape. Plus, they’re just a really sweet young couple. We’d highly recommend them as house sitters.
Prashant and India were fantastic pets sitters for us. Both were dependable and were even kind enough to allow some service people into the home to do some repairs. Our dogs were well looked after and we got daily updates on how the dogs were doing. Prashant is very knowledgeable and gave us a few strategies to combat some negative behaviors that we were seeing with the dogs. Could not recommend them more. They will be missed.
Anant was a great sitter and a friendly guy. Kept me up to date re his arrival and with Marie & Toulouse during the sit. Found my house exactly as I had left it. Would highly recommend Anant to other pet parents.
Sharon was a fantastic sitter for our week away! She left the house as tidy and clean as we left it, including changing the sheets for our arrival. I truly cannot even tell she was here and that made coming home after a long travel day so much easier. She was communicative every step of the way and provided daily updates on our cat with photos. We knew our home and pet were in good hands! I would gladly welcome Sharon back any time should we be so lucky : )
We had the pleasure of having Tara as our house sitter while we were away, and we can't praise her enough for the fantastic job she did. Not only did she take excellent care of our home, but she also showed tremendous love and attention to our beloved dogs. From the moment Tara walked through the door, we could tell she had a genuine passion for animals. She immediately bonded with our dogs, and they seemed completely at ease with her. Throughout our trip, she provided us with regular updates and photos, which truly put our minds at ease knowing our boys were in great hands. Tara took great care of our home as well. It was evident that she respected our space and coming back home, we found everything just as we left it, if not even better! We highly recommend Tara to anyone in need of a reliable, trustworthy, and caring house sitter. Her communication was excellent, and she proved herself to be a responsible and dedicated individual. If you want to ensure your pets and home are in the best hands while you're away, Tara is the perfect choice. Thank you, Tara, for taking such incredible care of our dogs and home. You made our trip stress-free, and we're truly grateful.
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
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.

I recommend PawTastiCare 100% as Joicy took care of Mia with so much love, affection, took her for walks and played a lot with our little baby. I think Mia got better treatment than in my own place so now I have to keep the same standard as she got very used with Joicy's care. PawTastiCare has also some very cute products for dogs such as this beautiful necklace and nice treats. If you need a dog sitter, please go for it.
It was so great to find another dog lover who could look after my dog who had never been left with a professional sitter before. She was treated like a queen and got to be a taste tester for yummy homemade treats, her fav job! Tammy had a great time and even though I did worry she may cry being away from me she had a ball and was safe and cosy in a home environment which was priority for me when searching.
Joicy was amazing at looking after Arlo, as he is an anxious pup and not the easiest to mind. She sent me daily updates which put me at ease and is very understanding of any additional needs or specific requests( a fussy needy pup). Nothing was too much for her. If you are looking for a loving home away from home for you pup, don’t hesitate to book in with Joicy 🤎
Joicy was an excellent sitter for my dog. She is amazing! She was very careful with the details of his care, and very communicative with me. Our dog had a great time with her and was happy to see her the next day. And about the handmade treats my dos LOVE it !!! Thank you so much Joicy. I can’t recommend her enough!
I cannot recommend Joicy enough. She always caters to my dog's individual needs, and transforms each stay into a holiday for her. The depth of their bond is evident as my dog genuinely cries on departures. Joicy will even sometimes wash and blow dry her before we pick her up!! A flawless 10/10 service—Joicy is truly the best in the business!
Joicey is absolutely fantastic! Our 2 pups love her. They are senior dogs so we are particular about who takes care of them. Not once did we worry. She gives regular updates on how they are doing and offers great tips! We will definitely ask Joicey to take care of our dogs again. Thank you So much! 🐶🐶 …
I cannot recommend Joicy enough. Joicy looked after our very needy pug Eric for a week and treated him like we would. She sent us daily updates & made sure he was really happy & gave him plenty of walks & cuddles. Eric was so content for the week & was even sad when leaving! Amazing minder & we have tried a lot! Thank you so much Joicy.
I cannot recommend paw tasi care enough. They are such a breeze to deal with. Our fur baby had a ball ☺️
Joicy is amazing with George. He was taken on so many walks and adventures and she took such great care of him.
We took our terrier Peaches to Doggy daycare 6 years ago as a pup for obedience classes. I only have praise for Howard for his love, dedication and care for the dogs. Both Peaches & Holly, our young maltichon love going there and can't get out of the car fast enough to get in.
Took my Dog lilly here ,Noticed a Nasty Burn mark on the back of her neck all her hair was completely removed like she was dragged and pulled by something,Went too bring her back in for the staff too try and explain the Burns on her neck she did want too go in and was very Reluctant, Not like her she loves other dogs and people, She was Terriefied, The guy who was supposed too be taking care of my Dog could not explain but looked really Guilty and felt very uncomfortable in he's Presence ,Took months for her injuries too Recover
Howard and his staff run an amazing dog daycare. I enrolled my puppy at 12 weeks and found huge improvements in her within a few weeks. She is no longer scared of larger dogs/dogs barking. She is very social and gets on great with other dogs, she does not bite hard when playing anymore. I can tell by her excitement before entering daycare that she loves it too!
Had a very unfortunate experience with the owner, he had the decency to apologize for wasting my time. After 3 visits without my doggo to inquire about getting assessed for daycare, and a phone call prior, I arrived into the premises to a point blank no. The reason being that they don't take in pitbulls. This would be completely fair if he was a pitbull, but he's not. He's a mild mannered XL Bully and even after offering to show the owner his passport he still refused and continued to call my dog a pitbull. If you own a smaller dog this place may be for you. But if you own a bigger dog I'd probably suggest looking at alternate daycares, as you may have a similar experience to myself. I wish the owner all the best in future endeavors, though he has made it very difficult for me to recommend this premises.
I had a bad experiences in this place of business over a year ago. I'm only writing now as I had a friend who told me they also had one. It was around Xmas time and wanted to get a standard groom for my small dog. Everywhere was booked out so I found this place. I rang and was quickly booked in. I dropped my dog down and was told it would be maybe and hour or 2. I work in the evening so I was fine. I had time to burn. My first concern was how dirty the reception area was but my dog needed a groom and I reluctantly left him in there. I'm not sure if I remember the man's name working on the counter but I do not think he should be in charge of taking care of the dogs while the owner is out. After what happened next, I felt this man was mentally not capable and instantly regretted it. Over 2 hours went by and no phone call. I drove down and went to get my dog. The same man who I left my dog with, Oliver I think his name may have been said he wasn't ready. We had a bit of back and forth disagreement and he told me the owner went to lunch. He said he would be back when he's back and this is how it is for dog haircuts. I didn't want my dog to be in this place anymore so I told him to give him to me. He went to the back and as he did all the other dogs started screeching and howling. I couldn't see what he did but all I heard was him banging or kicking something and yelling at the dogs to shut up. I got my dog who was clearly shook and scared with all his body shaved and his head not touched. I didn't care. I just wanted to leave. I said I would send my brother down later to finish the haircut. He would ring when the owner was back. Eventually after no phone call my brother went down anyway and got a hold of the owner and had to demand him to finish the hair cut and was reluctant. He described the owner as an arrogant dodgy used car salesman who has an answer for everything. I have asked around about the owner from people in the dog training community and have heard all negative feedback about this man.
Do not bring your dog here. Owner is such a bully handed me back my dog wet and her face looked like my son cut it. Did not care, did not offer to fix ! Basically kicked me out door. My dog is 19! her last Christmas probably with us and we spent €60 to get wet butchered cut back. The staff obviously leave all the time, cause there was an amazing girl working there but she left, wonder why! . So annoyed and he was shouting at me and insulted that I did not like what he did. I mean save yourself €60 and hand your five year old the scissors. Overpriced and not qualified. ….. Reply to owner who wrote underneath my review. If anyone reading this scrolls down through reviews they will see quite a lot of review reviews like mine. He is a complete liar by looks of his reply too!!! , pretty shocked reading this. I actually paid for my dog when I went to pick her up first time but I did give her back in good faith that he would fix her up!!and asked him to please dry her as she was wet and also to please shave her hair shorter as requested!!!!! Believe me in Christmas traffic it would been alot easier just to take her, but she would have been smelly and wet!!! My dog is 19 and member of our family!!!! Pity because when we brought her here first a Philippino lady did such good job, not at all like what was handed back to me by this man. Don’t think he actually cares for dogs at all! When I picked her up second time, her coat was damp and no more hair had been taken off her. So his reply is made up nonsense. Just pure lazy don’t care attitude. Not good experience will never return.
I trust my dog with Doggie Day Care on a weekly basis. It's good to know that Bess is well looked after while I'm at work. And Howard and his staff are always on hand for any advice I need on looking after Bess. Bess has also stayed with Howard at weekends when I had to go away. I wouldn't trust anyone else with her.
Terrible service and experience overall. After having my dog treated there and visiting a couple of times, we decided to book 2 weeks day/night care for our dog while we are away. The receptionist provided us 3 different prices the three different times we asked her for the 2 weeks stay. She was completely lost ! She also informed us that prior to staying there, our dog has to be neutered. We decided to book an appointment with the vet and our dog had the procedure done on the October, 10th 2022. We left our dog in daycare on Friday the October, 14th for few hours and when we picked him up the receptionist mentioned that her boss and herself decided not to take our dog for 2 weeks that we booked already because the dog is 'crying' and don't listen. He is 6 months old. This happened 4 days before our planned holidays. My question is: Are all the dogs expected to be quiet and been trained too as a essential requirement ? What kind of dog care is that? It would be similar to sending kids to kindergarten and they are sent back home for being a child and crying. Absolutely ridiculous. My kids were truly upset and we were in tears on our way home feeling sad for our dog. On top of that the receptionist was yelling at the dogs when they were barking. This is completely unacceptable. I would never leave my dog here to be looked after as everyone there seems to be extremely unprofessional and careless.
Highly recommend to let your dog experience this daycare before making assumptions based on some of the negative feedbacks. So I had experiences with the professional dog training and daycare services in Doggie daycare. My dog already had most of the training done since he was a pup, but we went to Howard mainly to ask for tips on how to manage his barking and also we are expecting a baby as well so I want to know how to prepare my dog for the newborn as well. Howard provided very structured concise trainings and it worked very well with my furbaby. Unfortunately with my nearby daycare closing down, I had to look for other daycares. I had tried daycare that has very high google rating with pretty much no negative comments at all. It was very difficult to get through to them to book for an assessment and you have to book for every single daycare visits. It's more expensive and the most important thing was that my dog did not get tired at all from being there for the whole day! (which was a total waste of money). Today I gave Doggie Daycare a try, they were very flexible to book for assessment on the same day, and I was able to leave my dog there for the rest of the day when he passed the assessment. I can definitely tell he had loads of fun, and staffs there were very friendly and gentle when welcoming him. He was sooo tired after he came back home today, even though it took me 45 minutes to go and pick him up as traffic was crazy but it was soooo worth it!
Howard's experience with dogs is unmatched. His daycare service is fantastic and his boarding offering is a life saver. I know Howard for 9 years and he has helped me overcome several issues with diet and behaviour with my dog. I couldn't recommend him highly enough!
We can't thank Simon enough for looking after our four dogs over the weekend while we were at my brothers wedding. The dogs had a blast and Simon kept us updated with photos of the gangs adventures. Nothing was too much hassle for Simon and it was wonderful knowing that the pups were having a brilliant time! Thank you 😊🐾 …
Simon is absolutely brilliant we are so happy that we found him for Mylo our 23 month old Retriever, its a fantastic service and facility, Mylo waits patiently at the window for Simon to collect him, Simon is a true dog lover and treats Mylo as if he was his own. I couldn't recommend him more.
Simon is fantastic, and I'd highly recommend him for training and boarding. We have a lovely 1 year old large dog who we had done some foundational training with at home. She recently started to show aggressive reactive behaviours while on a harness and leash that were concerning us. In one 1:1 training session with Simon he went through a series of different scenarios to better understand her behaviour, our behaviours as her owners, and how she responded to different equipment. He suggested a few small changes in terms of her lead and how we behave during walks, and had us try them out during the session in various scenarios so we could see if they were effective. The impact was immediate and she hasn't shown the negative behaviour since, so we're all much happier on walks. We were so happy with the training session we've also availed on his overnight boarding. We appreciate that Simon is selective and dogs have to go through an 'audition' to ensure they get on well with others before he agrees to take them on for several nights. Simon picked up and dropped off our dog, and he provided regular photos and updates while we're away which was a lovely gesture. We will definitely go back to Simon again.
Simon is just brilliant with dogs and I would trust him 100%! I felt so happy leaving my dog with Simon knowing that she was having a great time and loved the “pupdates”!! I would highly recommend Simon to anyone, he is so lovely to deal with 😊 …
I was recommended Simon (Fetch it) by my local vet, when I was in search for a dog behaviourist for my 10 year old dog who has aggression/ reactivity issues. It was very important for me to find someone who gives realistic approach and training, and Simon did exactly that. After just 45 minutes, I could clearly see where my dog's issues are coming from, and Simon gave me clear instructions on what should I be working on at home. Although this is a work in progress, I can see improvement in my dog, and I am now confident on the parts that I should be working on. Another thing that is very important to me is that Simon stays in touch, and quickly responds to my emails if I have any question related to my dog's case. Plus, Simon's prices are very reasonable. I would highly recommend Simon to anyone who is looking for a dog behaviourist. Thank you from me and Mango.
Simon is brilliant at what he does. As they say "each to their own skill". He helped me transform the behaviour of my two puppies Duke and Harley when out walking. They had decided over recent weeks to become Demon Pups when out walking, loving to bark like lunatics at any dog, cat or four legged animal they would come across 😂🤦♀️. As a result, walking became a stressful activity. Thankfully Simon came to the rescue and by the end of the first training session, both Duke and Harley had less reactive behaviour and successfully managed to walk by other dogs more calmly. By the second training session which was only one week later they had improved even further. I can now say that with each and every walk Duke and Harley are improving immensely and walkies are enjoyable again. I would recommend Simon to anyone looking for some help with their newest family member. Duke & Harley also loved Simon and for any doggie owner...this says it all. Thanks Simon 😊🐕🐕🦺
We can't recommend Simon highly enough. We adopted an adult red setter cross with some anxiety and behavioural issues. Simon spent a lot of the first lesson learning about our dog and making sure she was comfortable with him (she was, of course!). He is always very kind and gentle with the dog, never moving too fast and always doing what's best for them. He understood our dog very quickly and tailored the training appropriately. We've had great results so far and I'm looking forward to continuing the training. The training location is great - away from distractions and it has indoor and outdoor spaces where you can let a dog off-lead without them able to get out.
Our two dogs instantly took to Simon, absolute professional and made us feel so confident and at ease leaving our two pooches in his care. We came home to extremely relaxed and happy dogs. 100% will look forward to booking him again. Thanks Simon
Simon was so attentive to our pups throughout our training session. They took to him instantly. He was patient, energetic and enthusiastic with us and them. We would highly recommend based on our positive experience.
My dog (Bainin) is an 11 month-old standard poodle. My biggest worry was her behavioural issues. She was pulling me physically hard on the lead. If she was of the lead she would gallop so fast and wouldn't come back. It was becoming unmanageable for me. Prior and post the first Covid lockdown, I had 2 trainers who came to my home. Neither commanded her respect and attention span. Then, i met Simon after being recommended by another dog owner who had appraised him. Within 4-weeks Simon innovative dog techniques and engagement has transformed Bainin's behaviourism and obedience. He tackled with sensitivity and logic each issue of concern I had with my dog. I equally learned so much from Simon. I have witnessed her enthusiasm, joy and excitement when she is with Simon and her behaviour now walking with the lead is simply magical. From my observations Simon's interest, patience and commitment in interconnecting with dogs is beyond standard dog training skills. He is truly a gifted trainer and dog walker. I believe dogs senses his genuinely loving nature. He is a (Guardian Angel) with dogs.
Our chihuahua was taken care of. Service is great. Prices are very affordable. We love it. They always keep us updated when our our pet is there. Excellent service. We would definitely recommend it.
Extremely happy to trust Stephen & Máire to look after my girl. She comes home happy and well looked after.
A great experience for our Bertie, got treated with love and attention as soon as he arrived. Genuine dog lovers and really nice to deal with
Left my minature jack russel hollie there for 3 days. She was well looked after. Loved how they sent me pictures and videos each day of her, great peace of mind. Definitely will be using them again.
Stephen had our dog 3 weeks ago and she had a ball he updated us everyday and he sent us pics of her everyday he had her!! Thank you so much would deffo use again and highly recommend
Best pet sitting service . Looked after my little cavachon molly. They send me messages,pictures, and videos resuring us she was fine , sorry for late review , keep up the good work and thanks again will be getting you again in august
Always happy to send our Sandy to Stephen and Maire where we know she is always treated like family. ❤️
We absolutely love Stephen and Maire, they are brilliant and are dogs has their home as their second home. ❤❤
Home from home for our dog izzy.she loves the place
Lovely people, great dog sitting service here
Simply outstanding dedication for our little furries. Deirdre always walks the extra mile and did everything to make sure to provide the best service possible. The cats adored her and we can't think of a better minder. We can't recommend and thank you enough!
We brought our Golden Retriever puppy to Mairin’s puppy classes, and it was one of the best decisions we made. Mairin is truly fantastic with dogs—her wealth of knowledge and genuine passion for what she does shines through in every class. Thanks to her expert advice and hands-on guidance, our puppy made incredible progress. We couldn’t be happier with the results and would highly recommend Murphy and Me to any dog owner. Thank you, Mairin, for everything!
Maírín is an absolute wealth of knowledge and was so helpful when it came to training our puppy. He is a much more confident dog compared to before puppy school and isn’t as scared as much by loud noises on our walks and it’s all thanks to Maírín. I can’t recommend her enough!
My experience was during Galway race week! Received independent impartial advice. 6 weeks later my dog is cured of it’s skin condition. Was recommended to get tablets from vets and they worked. Wonderful lady knew 100% what she was talking about. Just genuinely wanted to help! No agenda! Can’t recommend highly enough and I will certainly call in to say thank u next time I am in the city. I hope the lady in question sees this and accepts my sincere thanks.
Maureen is great with dogs!! My dog is old and she handles him with great care!! He's quite happy to get groomed!! She's so caring!! Wouldn't go anywhere else!!
Really lovely grooming parlor. Mairin is supernice, and my dogs adore her.
Mairin is fantastic with our two cats - could not ask for a more reliable and conscientious cat sitter. Thank you so much Mairin for your diligence and care over the last 8 years - do not know what we would do without you.
Lovely girl Mairin who takes good care with your pooches. Her prices are reasonable and she takes time with her grooming..
Fantastic little shop and groomer. Maureen is so amazing with your dog. I would highly recommend her. Great shop for quality pet food and accessories. 👍👍👍 …
Our Ginger had a wonderful time here on her spa day with her friends max and coco, can't wait to go back. Staff so friendly and professional
Just had my nervous jumpy dog groomed here, fantastic job, happy dog, and very reasonable will be back😀 …
Highly recommend John and Valerie at The Dog Company. I was abitten nervous leaving my 3yr male border collie at a kennels for the first time. It was a great experience start to finish and Buddy was very happy there. Thank you :)
Without doubt the very best of care for our dogs. They loved staying with The dog company on many occasions. John and Valerie and their family just love dogs no doubt about it. They have the choice of being inside or safely outside which is so reassuring. They are my dogs ‘other family’. Wouldn’t go anywhere else THANKYOU !
Thanks so much John for Scampers groom, hair and nails all done for the Christmas party season! She slept for a day afterwards! 😂 …
It was Toby's first time in the kennels on his own since Hollie passed away and I was anxious about leaving him but of course there was no need to worry as John took excellent care of him and he did very well and got on with all the other doggies there. Thank you John great service as usual.
Amazing service! 5 stars is still not enough! The best place for you to leave your pet and relax. John and Valerie take care of pets as if they were their own and they are very friendly and kind. My dog has anxious issues, and the only place he's okay besides ours house is at the Dog Company.
Great job again on my very scruffy Cavalier King Charles. John is a delight and consummate professional.
Around the Christmas break we left our 2 dogs into John at The Dog Company. It was the first time we boarded them/had been away from them for any amount of time and we couldn't be happier. John was patient with us and sent us a lovely update over the weekend. Our dogs came back to us tired (because they had loads of exercise and socialisation with the other dogs), healthy and happy - we couldn't ask for more. It was an amazing service with great peace of mind knowing they were in such capable, kind and knowledgeable hands. Excellent in every way. We have no hesitation in recommending John and The Dog Company.
John, is the kindest and best groomer you could ever come across...I've brought my (now) elderly dog to him for about 15 years ...even though my dog is very senior , he has done his best by him, taking into account his every need over the years...couldn't recommend him enough. And despite moving to a new home some years ago that means well over an hours drive ...it's worth it!
If we could give John and Valarie 10 stars here we would. Great people to do business with. Peace of mind for our dog, Hunter, a home away from home for him. A service beyond compare.
We've tried a few Kennels for our dog and they've generally been run by people with space trying to make money. The Dog Company is brilliant, he's a real dog lover and Charlie is always really happy to go on his dog holidays there. We drive out of our way to leave him there and would highly recommend The Dog Company to any other Dog Mom's and Dads
Exceptional Dog Care at Madra Motel I recently had the pleasure of boarding my Molly at the Madra Motel and I couldn't be more impressed. From the moment I walked in, I could tell that Johnny truly loves and cares for each dog as if they were his own. The kennels are impeccably clean, spacious, and designed to provide a comfortable and stimulating environment for all dogs. Johnny’s expertise and passion for animals shine through in every aspect of the operation. My dog was not only well-fed and exercised but also received plenty of one-on-one attention and playtime. Johnny kept me updated with videos and reports, which gave me great peace of mind knowing my pet was in such capable hands. What sets this kennel apart is Johnny’s personal approach. He takes the time to understand each dog’s personality and needs, ensuring they feel at home during their stay. Whether it’s for a day or an extended period, I would wholeheartedly recommend Johnny’s Kennel to any pet owner seeking top-notch care for their furry companions. It’s clear that Johnny goes above and beyond to provide a safe, happy, and loving environment. I will definitely be returning in the future!
Starling review for this kennel! I cannot recommend this kennel highly enough. From the moment I dropped my dog off, I knew she was in great hands. Very professional and calming demeanor from Johnny, facilities are spotless, ensuring some privacy for every dog. Johnny was quick to provide me with updates which gave me peace of mind, as my dog struggles with separation anxiety. It is very obvious that staff there genuinely loves animals. We have changed few kennels over the years and this is the first time she was back after a week time in great condition, no weight loss, happy and wiggly. Definitely coming back. Thanks Johnny
Only Recently heard of Madra Motel and we are so glad we did. Our Retriever is almost a year old and he is a hairy ball of energy. He loved his weekend stay here and was 100% himself when we brought him home, he was so excited and you could tell he fully enjoyed his stay here. (we only ever had one experience of a different kennels and Kai came home cowering and took him a few days to get back to his usual crazy character) 5 stars from us and Kai for Madra Motel.
Cannot recommend Jonathan and Madra Motel enough! Its our first time using a kennel for Monty and were put at ease immediately by Jonathan. Thank you for everything, we will be back and will recommend to all our family & friends!
Again another amazing holiday for both Kylie and Luna (2 engergetic labradors) and my girls and I. So amazing to be able to head away knowing that they are being so well looked after by Johnny. When I always pick Kylie and Luna up they are in such good form and when the get back home it's as if they haven't been away because Madra Motel is a home from home!!! Thanks again so much Johnny!!!!
Incredible set up, took great care of our dog Hugo. Really lovely, easy to deal with, and the facilities are top class
A massive thank you to Johnny for taking care our our little girl Tigger . The kennels are spotless and very spacious. Most importantly Tigger was in mighty form when we collected her. Johnny obviously loves all dogs and they love him. Definitely will be coming back.
Madra Motel Boarding Kennels have been a god send to us! Johnny & Rhona really care about dogs and their facilities are second to none! Johnny is always so responsive on Whatsapp making booking so easy and quick and he regularly sends us updates on our Rocky's stay! Rocky does have a great time there and we know he is so well looked after! I would have no hesitation recommending Madra Motel and just know your dog will be looked after by Johnny & Rhona like their own dogs!
The facilities here are clean, the owners great to deal with and the dogs happy! Our dog Lola stayed for two weeks and had lots of fun playing with the other dogs there and seemed almost depressed the night she came home with us! Jonny was very responsive, and was sending us videos of playtime via WhatsApp every few days to keep us informed. Last year, Lola stayed at a different kennel and came home filthy dirty and very smelly, but not so this year. 😃👍
My dog stays at Madra Motel from time to time. He loves it there. Johnny is so good with the dogs which makes it a lot easier to leave your dog there. I would really recommend this place
Best place ever for your dog. Our puppy has been a regular there since he was 3 months old. Every time we go there he just runs straight for the door and can't wait to go in. Paula, Fraser and the rest of the team are the loveliest people, they absolutely love dogs and you can see it. Good selection of dog food, equipment, treats etc as well. I don't think it can get better than this - the attached picture says it all ;)
Cannot recommend enough Bremeny School for dogs for doggy daycare. My 6 month old shih tzu Harvey absolutely loves it… cannot wait to go and play the minute we pull up. All the staff are so friendly, Fraser, Paula, Dave & Maeve … clearly all dog lovers and great for advice on training, behaviours, food etc. Great service, long opening hours and very reasonably priced. Great to follow on FB and Instagram to see pics of all the daycare dog attendees on a daily basis!
Can't recommend these guys enough. The owners and staff are absolutely brilliant. Our dog Lola absolutely loves it too. We can tell because she gets really excited in the back of the car as you drive up to Bremeny, so it's a clear sign she loves going in and that's very important to us. They have an integration process which is vital for the dogs going into the group. They are also dog trainers and we picked up so many tips along the way off them. Couldn't recommend them enough your dog will be well looked after here so don't hesitate in contacting them 🐕
My dog LOVES coming here! Paula, Fraser and all of the staff are so friendly, knowing all of the dogs on a first name basis. They also care. A LOT. It’s fantastic to hear how they went when you collect them, and if they’ve had a good day (especially when your dog is first settling in and can find it a bit daunting). We’ve been using them since they were the Urban Pup and our dog was just a puppy. I also love that they regularly upload pics on their social media sites of the dogs from each day and enjoy seeing their happy faces. I’ve heard from friends that the classes are incredibly helpful and well run, and am hoping to work one on one with them for some training in the future. They have a good range of food, treats and general dog toys and accessories in store too. It’s like heaven for dogs
Awesome place with awesome dog lovers!!! My daughter's little puppy is mad about this place!!! They will take care of your dog like if it was their own 😊 Great place to leave your dog for a few hours or during the week when you are at work. You can be sure your dog will be well taken care of!!! Just look at ours After a fulfilling day!!! …
Iv been bringing my Cane Corso puppy Lola to Urban Pup since she was about 3 months old and I cant explain how valuable her time there has been for socialisation and keeping her safe and amused whilst were at work. All the staff are so friendly and passionate about dogs and treat them like their own. I also did the puppy training classes with the owner Paula and we learned so much from it which has really helped Lola become a perfect puppy and I also learned so much about dogs development and behaviour which I can take forward with me. I cannot recommend Urban Pup enough for your lil doggie who will hopefully visit and meet my Lola one day ❤
Milo our puppy seems to be loving going here , recked when I pick him up, when dropping him off he would walk himself in if he could open the door, can’t wait to get out of the car in the mornings to go in. Currently all out of energy from all the playing.
The best place to leave your dog, even when he is bold like mine!! Hahaha All the will do is give love and attention, my Frenchie absolutely love everyone there. ❤❤
Absolutely amazing team our pepper loves going here. Not only is daycare fantastic for people who are not able to be around with their dog but it's completely socialised our dog and given her another place filled with love. The training is also unparalleled Pintea and Paula are fantastic!
Would highly recommend everyone whos got a dog to bring them to bremeny school for dogs!Wouldn't go anywhere else. The staff are always so nice,friendly and welcoming. Their day care and training services are exceptional. We know our doggo is always in safe hands when we drop him off day care.
