We arrived back after ten days away to find two very contented and happy labradors. Maggie and Mike had to leave an hour or so before we arrived back but in our conversations afterwards, everything seemed to have gone very well. Maggie and Mike spent time with us the day before their sit started so we could show them around the house, introduce them to Isla and Poppy and brief them about the local walks and such like. They left the house beautifully tidy. We would be very pleased to have them again.
Anna and Mike are very experienced house and pet sitters who were very comfortable doing a long sit - two months, for us. We have two dogs and two cats and one dog, due to age, needed additional care. They evaluated our pets very quickly and organised routines around their needs allowing for the hot weather of July and August. One of our dogs hates fireworks and they soon realised that he needed extra care and attention. Unexpected vet visits were handled very well in our absence and our dogs did recover very quickly as Mike and Anna followed the veterinary advice post treatment. We arranged for our cleaner to come once a week during the sit. Anna and Mike are both remote workers and need a reliable internet connection which we supplied. However during a storm the connection was lost. They managed to sort this out promptly during our absence. They kept regular contact with us on WhatsApp and sent some lovely photos of our pets during our long absence. On our arrival home they had even cooked us dinner! We highly recommend Anna and Mike as house and pet sitters. They are reliable and sorted out any problems whilst we were away. They love animals and that was so important for us.

Orla is just amazing. We have booked our cat and dog in with her and both settled very well and came home very happy after their stay. Would highly recommend and will use Guillamore Kennels again
5 🌟 PLUS Recommendation... Orla treats OUR furbabies like family... takes time to understand all personalities, animal and human 😊... her knowledge and experience is so reassuring.. Her facilities offer security, safety and socialisation.. every guest receives home from home love and care ❤.. …
I've used Guillamore Cattery many times. Orla is great and it's obvious she really cares. I'd highly recommend.
Orla was amazing with our cat monty, so accommodating and reassuring (first time ever using a kennel). Orla even helped secure him in the cat for the journey home. Would highly recommend Guillamore kennels and, will definitely be using them in the future!
Thank you Orla for looking after Sammy again for us Would highly recommend the cattery Orla loves all the animals and treats them like her own Such a pleasure to deal with Until the next time
Cannot speak highly enough about this kennels. There is proper individual care & attention given to every single animal. Place is clean, tidy & very secure. Owner is a top class lady!
Excellent...our dog stayed 3 nights and was very happy here. Orla was excellent and ke p t up informed on how she was getting on.
Facilities for cats great, but mainly the care the owner has, made me a return client.
Orla is fantastic and her service is top class I can not recommend orla enough
Really nice people, my dogsloved it when they were there Cheap as well
We sent our 6 month old pup out to Niall recently. He had such a good experience when I went to collect him he didn’t want to come home with me! Was nervous leaving him for the first night but was reassured he would be totally safe. Niall is such a lovely man with a great set up for the dogs. You can tell he really cares for animals. Will be 110% sending our pup out again.
A lovely place for our pets to relax and enjoy there stay, very caring owners and very clean and well looked after kennels, one of his favourite places x
Fantastic place to leave your pets, Niall and Martina really looked after our two dogs so well. Thanks guys.
One of the better places to leave your pet. Very good and the anim are well looked after. Ran by very nice caring people. It's like our dog is on his holidays
Top class, Niall & Martina are so kind & caring . Cannot recommend them enough ,
Niall solved our problem of finding a safe ' holiday' venue for our four legged lady.so happy to leave her knowing she is well cared for.
I have been leaving my dogs here for a number of years now and I wouldn't leave them anywhere else. True dog lovers Niall and Martina, dogs are always well loved and cared for.
Best doggy daycare I have ever used!! My dog loves it here and I know he is being well looked after. The facilities are 1st class.
Family bussines, lovely staff. Our dog loves them and gets excited every time we go there. I won't leave my dog in any other place
Lovely, Lovely fella. Had the cats there for over two weeks. They came back in great condition.
My pug, Bobby has been going to Trails for Tails, for quite some time now and he has spent many nights boarding with T for T. I truly cannot recommend and praise Connie and Trails for Tails, highly enough. I have always felt 100% comfortable knowing Bobby is with Connie because then I knew he was in safe hands and he being in his happy place. Trails for Tails is a home from home environment for all the dogs and every dig is treated as one of their own. Very highly recommended!!!
Coco has been spending 3 days a week in puppy day care with Trails for Tails and we have nothing but positivity for Connie and her business. She offers such a personal service incluing walks / home day care and home boarding that we shall miss her so much! If you need a reliable, professional kind person to love your dog like you do... this is the place for you!
Connie is a remarkable and highly qualified person, who really cares about the dogs in her charge. She is also a meticulous administrator when it comes to running her business. Our 5-year old chihuahua, Pixie, has been with Connie for daycare and boarding since she was 6 months old and she couldn't have received better care. To Pixie, and to us, Connie is a member of our extended family. 100% recommended!
We have been using Trails for Tails for 5 years and have been extremely pleased with them. We sent our puppy there as soon as he was old enough to enable him to be socialised and have longer walks than we could give him. The posts that Connie puts on Facebook/Instagram for the owners are a delight. We know that our pets are happy and enjoying themselves. Monty goes in tail up and wagging. He comes home tired but very happy. We cannot recommend Trails for Tails strongly enough. It will be difficult to find someone as trustworthy and we will miss Connie enormously. ◦
Bill went to daycare for 6 years with Connie and now she has our new puppy Bailey. Bailey gets so excited when he sees her coming up the drive. He comes home exhausted because of all the playtime with the other dogs and the lovely walks he has with Connie. I would highly recommend Connie, it’s a true home from home service. Connie has given us many tips and professional help with raising our new puppy. 10/10 service. Thank you
Connie has been looking after our Mini Schnauzer Eva for the past 4 years both in day care and home boarding. We cannot rate Connie enough, not only does she collect Eva and take her on beautiful walks with videos posted on Facebook so we can see her but drops her back exhausted and content. Her home boarding is outstanding and we know Eva is safe and loved and we can enjoy peace of mind on holiday knowing Eva is having a great holiday too! You are so lucky to be having Connie coming home to Ireland we are devastated to be losing her and her amazing dog care. Eva will miss her cuddles and care and we only have to see how excited she is when she sees Connie to know how well cared for she is. Good luck Connie !
I cannot recommend Connie and her services enough, TFT is a trustworthy, safe and flexible service. With a owner which really cares about the animals. I recommend 100%
Connie minded my dog for my wedding in August and was absolutely brilliant. My dog would be nervous so it was great to know she was in such caring hands with Connie!
Amazing service provided by Connie at Trails for Tails. Professional reliable and a true lover of dogs. Extremely knowledgeable about all breeds of dogs.
I have 3 puggies and I know that they are loved and cared for as if they were at home with me. I am able to leave them in the knowledge that they are "home from home" without any worries ❣️
Wouldn't trust anywhere else with my dogs. Love watching there Instagram page for updates too. Would definitely recommend them 😊 …
Mt dog absolutely loves the place. They offer great updates on Instagram so you can see how your dog is getting on
This place is the Only 1 that I'd TRUST with my Pet, Riley. 🐕 …
A brilliant service that our dog loves. Staff are amazing. Really couldn't recommend more.
Excellent service and they just love dogs. Booked in for obedience classes for my pup,looking forward to it
Amazing service and staff. My dog loves going to the park with Craig and Luke 🥰 …
My dog loves this place and the staff are so friendly
Let people who really love your dog take care if them!
It's a really nice erea for ur dog

Khai loves going to Ana! She is wonderful with him kind and patient couldn't recommend enough 5* treatment 🥰 …
Only place I trust to take care of my small Morkie Joey overnight. Joey absolutely loves going to Lough Gur Doggy Day Care, and is besties with Anas two dogs, Twinkle & Hope. Ana takes care of her like she's her own. Also uploads pics and sends updates which I love 🥰 Whenever I collect Joey she is always so happy and I know just was just so well looked after. 5⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Excellent at dog grooming always turn out the best I’ve ever seen , and such a nice lady too !
Excellent Service and beautiful groom on my dog.
The experience we have had with Audrey from start to finish was second to none! Contact response was super quick, Audrey is very efficient. The quick drop off was so easy and Audrey’s love for dogs is clear as day. Audrey kept me posted throughout the weekend with their adventures and my mind was at ease from the minute I text her to look after her. Nala settled in with Audrey straight away and came home content, with her bed washed and everything! Thanks so much Audrey we will be seeing you again soon.
I was able to get in contact with Audrey about taking my husky blue for a couple of nights. As a typical husky he is very hyper and full of energy but not when he came home! He had gone on so many walks and runs with Audrey that he was exhausted when he got home! It was great blue loved it, so much so he nearly didn’t want to leave! Audrey was also great over the couple of nights with communication as when I text so see how he was getting on she snapped back a couple of pictures which really put me at ease. 5 out of 5 service from blue and myself will definitely be back! 👏
Audrey took the absolute best care of our 2 dogs while we were away , she kept regular contact and sent pictures everyday which we wanted. They were walked morning and evening, when they weren't out and about they were cosied up at her fire on lovely beds. It meant so much to us to know the dogs were with a genuine dog lover and they will absolutely be going back to her again.
We were away for three days, and Audrey, who minded our dog Obi, was amazing. It is very clear that she has a great love for all animals, which really put our minds at ease. We could really enjoy our holiday knowing Obi was in a home where he was being well looked after. I got lots of lovely updates each day about how he was doing, which we loved seeing. Thank you, Audrey, for being so kind and caring with our dog. We will be recommending your dog-sitting service to our family and friends.
Audrey was excellent with our dog Louie. We were very happy she accepted him on very short notice .We got lovely updates while we were away, which was excellent for us, knowing Louie was very happy .Will send Louie. Thanks, Audrey
Left Lizzie with Audrey on short notice she was welcomed as one of the family straight into this homely environment the setting and facilities are ideal and she even brought Lizzie into Limerick city centre Monday morning there are people just born to look after your pets Audrey is one of these special few and would not hesitate in leaving Lizzie with her again this really was a 5/5 experience from start to finish.
Our dogs enjoy their time with Margaret, Helen and all the staff, as they are kind and caring. The dogs invariably wag their tails, as we arrive and travel up the driveway. We are sent videos, plus daily texts updating us of status. Having somewhere safe, welcoming and a 'home from home' is so reassuring as leaving them is a hardship.
Holly and Molly really enjoyed their 10 day holiday with Perfect Paws. They are looking forward to their next 5 star experience there 👍🏻👍🏻 …
Fantastic facilities Great attention to your pet Lovely caring staff Spotless clean Excellent grooming service My dog is so comfortable and happy there.
Helen, Margaret and staff are always so helpful, friendly and caring. I know my dog is well looked after because when we take him out if the car he runs straight to Helen for his hug and great welcome. It is also comforting to get regular updates by text when we are away and it's great to know he is doing well. All in all I wouldn't leave my fur baby with anyone else and highly recommend Perfect Paws !!
First time leaving our dogs with Perfect Paws and thought it was great. Felt really comfortable leaving them with Margaret and the dogs seemed to really enjoy their time here too!
Great place. Lovely staff, my dog was safe and happy on return.
Absolutely amazing team. We wouldn't leave our dog with anyone else. Helen and Mags are truly the best to care for your pet. We are always happy to leave our dog knowing she'll be so well looked after.
First time for my dog who is not used to other dogs. I was worried but I got constant updates and a video. Will definitely be using for next holiday.
Always have our dog stay here when we're away, extremely friendly staff, our dog Roxy loves it here, she loves her walks and perfect paws also let's you know how your pet is doing which is great, would highly recommend perfect paws your pet is in safe hands here.
My dogs Hooper and Taz had a great time ! Great to go on holidays with complete peace of mind knowing my dogs are in good hands . Highly recommend
Great place! Maria is a very experienced dog behaviourist. My dog loves her place and interaction with other powsfriends. He always goes there very happily and he is back even happier.
Would highly recommend Maria if you're looking for someone to take care of your dog. My dog was nervous at first but Maria has such a good way with dogs that by the time I picked her up she was completely relaxed! Also love the videos throughout the day!!
I left my dog out with Maria for a day and it was the best thing I did so my dog was not left alone at home for the day. He was so excited to go back few days later and I would highly recommend Maria for dog care. I think he was treated better with Maria than here is at home.
Maria is one of a kind. She would do anything for dogs in ger care and looks after them like they are her own. Alfie loves her!
Both my dogs love visiting Marias. She really treats them as they're home from home and they're always so happy there
Amazing dog lady marias is. Dogs love her, calming effect she has and so much fun, shula
It is great to have such a lovely place for our Luna to stay. She loves it there🙂 and we are looking forward to many more stays …
Excellent and very experienced dog minder. Am lucky to have found Maria!
Best dog woman around !
Dogs love coming here. Great care. The dog comes back happy and in even better shape than when he arrived.
Urban tails is fantastic, so grateful to have this facility in Limerick. The staff are excellent and keep you updated on the dogs activities during the day with entertaining stories. Chroí loves it there. 🤩🙌❤️ …
Was a customer, unfortunately our dog always came back smelly. Also, he was often ill after being there and we haven't had this problem with other daycares/kennels. Consistent price increases and terrible communication. Unless you use Instagram, you won't know about closures. Owner is terrible at dealing with customer questions and takes everything personally. So it's agree with her or get out. After two years I've learned it's better to spend money and time in better facilities, Abbey Boarding/Daycare, PawPals, Ballyclough, Bed and Biscuits and also some independent dog walkers/minders. Any of these businesses will treat you and your pup better. Urban tails gives a misleading first impression and does not value longevity
Absolutely top quality service from the very start. I cannot recommend Urban Tails enough to send your dog to. As soon as Peach had her jabs we sent her for the first time and she was so small we weren’t sure how she would get on but the care, love and attention she has received from all the staff from the very start has resulted in her absolutely running in the door every single day when we bring her now. This for me tells you everything you need to know about how happy she is to go there and be around all her pals. Not only that but Anne Marie, Carol, Abbie and all the staff are so helpful with any questions we had around Peach. They are so accommodating when things pop up last minute and Peach needs to be dropped at a moments notice. To summarise, we would be lost without Urban Tails and no words can ever say how grateful we are to have such a fantastic service available to us where we know the most important thing in our life is loved just as much as she is at home! ❤️
I cannot recommend Sally at the Dog Pawlor enough. My little girl is anxious in new surroundings, so when I dropped her off at Urban Tails daycare for her autumn groom unsure if she would settle away from me but Sally reassured me that Boo would be absolutely fine and that she was! Sally took time chatting to me to see how I’d like her legs body and face groomed and did exactly what I asked and if not more! Boo was returned to me as pretty as a picture, so relaxed and content. There wasn’t a whimper out of her and no stories to tell Mom on the journey home.
We'd be absolutely lost without urban tails! Loki starts getting excited anytime we're on childers road even if it's the weekend. He's been going there for over 2 years now and loves it. But even better we have peace of mind knowing he's happy out to be there while we work. I spend my days watching the Instagram stories and feel like I know all the doggys! The girls are amazing and as a people dog, Loki approves of them all. He's even willing to go back in the day after a groom with no hard feelings 🤣
We truly cannot say enough amazing things about Urban Tails in Limerick! Our dog Fionn absolutely loves going there, and with us working full time, it has become a second home for him in our working days. The moment we pull up, his tail starts wagging uncontrollably, and he races to the door to greet his friends and the wonderful team of ladies that Annmarie has hired. The staff is incredibly attentive and genuinely cares about each dog. They always keep us updated with any unusual behavior they might notice with Fionn, along with delightful updates about his daily adventures. It's clear that they take the time to understand each dog's personality, and that makes all the difference. We honestly don’t know what we would do without Urban Tails. The peace of mind we have knowing that Fionn is in such good hands is invaluable. We are so grateful for the love and care they provide – it truly shows how much they value our furry friends. Thank you again to the amazing Team Urban Tails, for taking such amazing care of Fionn! AKA FIONNDERTAKER!!
The best Doggy Daycare/ Groomers. Couldn’t recommend it enough. All the staff are so kind & friendly and take such good care of my doggy Gordon.
This was out first time with Urban Tails. My dog Cooper got a fantastic professional cut and we will definitely be back in a few weeks time, and thanks again.
Very happy with the care taken with out lil Jack Russell, he came back absolutely gleaming. Thank you Ann-Marie, we will see you again in a few weeks.
Fabulous place, my dog loves going to mix with the other doggie friends. Staff are so kind. Your pup is in safe hands!
I've been sending my dog Bailey (Soft Coated Wheaten) to Dan's for the last 12 years and I have nothing but good things to say about Dan and his kennels. He is such a lovely man and always shows such care and respect for the dogs in his care. Our new addition, Alfie (Zuchon) and Bailey both love spending time in Dan's and are so happy when they leave - tired, well fed and happy! Since moving to the other side of Limerick, I still choose to bring my pets to Dan's as I trust him implicitly. If you're a dog lover then you're in good company with Dan!
Great experience. We left our shihtzu in with Dan for a week and we couldn't be happier. The dog seemed unhappy to be leaving. She has a pep in her step since staying with Dan.
Worst experience ever. Brought our dog to this kennel for one night so we could go to Dublin. We told Dan she was in heat and he promised to keep her penned away from males. To our shock and horror, we discovered our dog got pregnant while on his property. Our dog was only around other dogs while in heat in his care. So disappointed, angry and the cost accrued because of this was in the hundreds of euros.
Dan, a very kind man, loves his dogs and they love him.
Great service! We have left our male golden retriever in with Dan for daytime dog minding, and he is always so happy and tired afterwards. Dan is great with the dogs, puts them at ease straight away, let's them play together and then takes them for walks out in the field behind the house. Cannot recommend this service enough!
Highly recommend, your beloved dog or cat will be treated like part of the family here. It's such an excellent service, offering doggie day care and overnight kennels for your dog or cat. My dogs love going to their doggie day care. They have their regular gallops, and Dan keeps a really lovely dynamic between the different breeds, excellent socializing for your dog, big or small. It's set in a countryside, green fields all around and open space for your dog. Dan also has a roofed outdoor play area when the weather takes a turn. It really is like a home away from home for my dogs. Dan and the gang take the upmost care of the dogs in their care.
We couldn't have been more pleased with the service provided. We would highly recommend Dan and his kennels. He's a true gentleman and we knew our pug was in safe hands with him.
Can't recommend Dan enough. Animals are well looked after and well exercised. All at a reasonable price. Bringing my dogs there years
Excellent management and amazing staff! Absolutely amazing with animals and owners. Great knowledge of dog breeds and always willing to help or answer any questions. Would 100% recommend this place ❤❤❤
Excellent Kennels our dogs love this place and the owners are very good and care about the animals and send you video updates of your dogs so you don't have to worry how they are getting on the also are very good at keeping an eye if there are any health concerns about your dog.
We have been taking Fern to Dave and Sarah for a number of years now and she just loves going to stay with them. They’re like her foster parents when we are away. It makes such a difference to us knowing that she is so well looked after and loved while on her holidays there. We would have no hesitation recommending Cullen Hill pet Sitters to anyone looking for their furry family member to be pampered.
Sarah and Dave are very professional with minding my dog. You don't have to worry about anything while on holidays. They have a veterinary backround and are great people. Thanks again again guys.
