We wish we had more stars to add!!! This was a truly unforgettable experience! Sweet Olive was the most amazing dog and we bonded with her very dearly which made it a bit sad to leave. She added a tremendous amount of fun and joy to our stay which was everything we expected and more. :-) We loved caring for the chickens as well and enjoyed their delicious daily gifts. :-) Also, we had the great pleasure to meet with Jeanne and David at the end of our stay and we feel like we made new friends. They made us feel really comfortable throughout our stay and the communication was excellent. It was an honor to sit for them and we would love to sit for them again. :-)
A thoroughly enjoyable stay. The owners John & Carol are very friendly and accommodating. Lovely house with excellent facilities. Anna is an adorable and friendly doggie. Very easy to walk the dogs (Anna and my dog Wookie) in the rear field and garden. I would happily sit again if asked. Robert
I really enjoyed meeting Sue and her kitties! Sue has a lovely home with a beautiful view. Everything was clean and organized. Sue is very communicative and friendly. We met before she left and she showed me around, introduced me to the cats, and showed me how to fill the bird feeders. There were no surprises. Frieda is gorgeous and very sweet. I enjoyed hanging out with her and feeding her grass. 🥰 Mr. Gray and Garbo slowly warmed up to me. I got into a regular routine of letting them inside, and I hope they’ll recognize me and be even more comfortable next time. The whole stay was comfortable and relaxing. I would definitely stay again!

We have been going to Yvonne's for the last 8 years with both our fur babies. We could not ask for better care. Yvonne even sends us videos and updates on how they are getting on. They get plenty of exercise and attention and love. If the doggies have any health issues Yvonne looks after them and makes sure they get extra attention/ care. I trust noone else with minding our babies. Would absolutely recommend Happy Paws Hotel
We gave Yvonne a real challenge with our rescue Saluki. He was really nervous around humans but loves dogs. Within less than an hour Yvonne was petting him and totally understood his needs. We left Matthew for 2 weeks and the change in his confidence was amazing. We got regular videos of him and were amazed at the great time he had. We had trouble getting him to go into Happy Paws but nearly had more trouble getting him to come home with us!! I would leave him there again in a heartbeat and I'm very grateful to Yvonne for the all the effort she put into him. He will miss Happy Paws and all the new friends he made there.
First time leaving our golden retriever puppy with someone else. Absolutely fabulous facilities for all the dogs. We were given a wonderful tour around to show us where our puppy would play and sleep. Couldn’t recommend enough, we knew our puppy was in great hands as Yvonne has a wonderful knowledge of all dogs and their varying needs. The videos of him playing and having fun with all the other dogs was the cherry on top of a wonderful experience. Thanks so much we will definitely be back again.
Happy Paws is absolutely the best. Excellent 5 star treatment. Very caring and outdoor activities making for very happy dogs. Home from home for your dog. Highly recommend, Yvonne is a star. Our Golden Retriever absolutely loves it every time he visits and comes home exhausted from all the fun and interactions with other dogs.
1st time using Happy Paws and 1st time actually using a dog kennel for my 2 dogs so was a bit nervous about it as Bruce is older and has never been away from home but to my surprise and delight both Bruce and Spike loved their little holiday at Happy Paws and are booked in again for Easter. Yvonne has a fantastic set up for dogs and it's nice to be able to get away and know your dogs are well looked after.
Hands down the absolute best. I drop "the girls" off and they're delighted to be there. I hardly think of them while I'm away as I know they're as happy there as they are at home. Can't recommend the Happy Paws Hotel enough.
Top class dog care facility ! Yvonne does a great job and cares for your pet exceptionally ! My dogs loved it here and I can see why the level of care they got was the best , a home away from home for them , thanks Yvonne and happy paws hotel
Could not recommend Happy Paws Hotel higher. My 12 year old dog was very shy and nervous around other dogs and I was worried how she would get on I needn't have worried. Yvonne and her team are fantastic. Molly was treated as one of the family. Molly really loved it. Thanks Yvonne for all your patience and love for Molly x
My dogs, from young to seniors, have been regular guests of Happy Paws Hotel for many years. They are always cared for so well, in the best facilities. Yvonne and her team do an amazing job looking after our dogs and especially those who have special needs. Definitely a five star doggie hotel!
We've been leaving our "furry babies" as my wife calls them with Yvonne for years. Our last dog, Chewie, and her sister Alfie were, shall we say, high dependency. Not a bother for Happy Paws. Our current bundle of furry joy, Bettie, loves it there too. We've also taken advice from Yvonne about trainers and groomers, all excellent, and we buy our dog food off her. Overall, couldn't recommend highly enough.
We love sending our 4 girls to Coco’s Kennels.❤️ Jenny and David always look after them so well, they’re the only ones we trust to look after our fur babies when we are on holiday. The kennels are so clean and cosy, they feel just like they’re home. They cater to dogs taking medication and they have an amazing doggie play area where dogs are separated according to size so our small dogs don’t get overwhelmed by the big dogs.🐶 Couldn’t recommend enough!❤️
Polly and Piper just came back from 8 nights in the fabulous Coco's Kennels. We received regular updates from Jenny. The dogs were happy out running around and playing with the other dogs. They came home happy and relaxed. One of our dogs is extremely nervous but Jenny went above and beyond and was fantastic and patient with her. It gave us great piece of mind seeing such a nervous dog so happy whilst away from home. I would highly recommend Coco's Kennels to all dog lovers. It's a real home away from home for your beloved pooch. The care and service that Jenny and David provide is second to none.
Excellent experience with Coco's Kennels. Had my dog there for 2 nights, which was his first time in a kennel. They treated him very well, and looked after him like he was one of theirs. Will definitely be using them again.
We couldn't have enjoyed our holiday without knowing our dog Bella was in safe hands and well looked after. She went in as a really nervous dog around other dogs and came home much calmer and more happy to be around other dogs. We had daily updates and seeing her in the videos made our holiday much more enjoyable knowing she was happy and in safe hands. We can't thank David and Jenny enough for their kindness and patience with Bella. We now know we can take a holiday and our dog will be well looked after. Stephen and Linda.
Harley just went home today and he was so happy and really enjoyed his stay in Coco’s Kennel! When the car was leaving the kennel, he was still looking back as if he doesn’t want to leave yet his gangmates behind! Thank you Jenny and David for taking good care of our baby! Such a wonderful experience for Harley and he even knows how to take turns now in the pool! Great for Harley to be with other dogs and learn how to socialise as well. 5 star is not enough for this review! Will definitely recommend this kennel! 💖
Recently used Coco’s Kennels whilst on holiday. Our dogs thoroughly enjoyed their time with Jenny and David. They were very well looked after, had plenty of fun with the other dogs, enjoyed their walks and I felt very relaxed when I received the updates. Will be rebooking very soon. Thank you
Always leave my two fur babies into Coco's Kennels. David and Jenny are so lovely to deal with and the boys are well treated and looked after. Great outdoor and indoor space. The boys are always happy when I'm leaving them. They get walks and I get updates, happy all round.
I simply cannot say enough about Jenny and David they minded our dogs like their very own while we were away on holidays - my Homer is spoilt rotten and he hates us going away he gets separation anxiety. Although I must admit so do I when I’m away from him. But Jenny gave us daily updates videos and photos - Homer has to go to the vet because he had a sore ear and not once did jenny make us feel nervous about it - she rang us and told us she was bringing him to the vet to get him antibiotics - we never felt so at ease - they are so professional and caring cannot recommend this lovely couple enough - only the best for our hairy babies thank you so much David and jenny xxx
When we bring our dog there she trots off with Jenny like she's going to summer camp.
Really impressed with Coco Kennells. My dog Murphy recently stayed there and I knew he was well taken care of by Jenny and David. They just have a natural way with the dogs and are so kind and caring. Love the space the dogs have aswell, I would recommend these kennells as it's ideal for ure pet.
We have boarded our 2 cocker spaniels girls several times now here and it is obvious when we collect them that they are happy and have been well looked after and loved on. We previously used a different kennel for many years but after a couple of bad experiences I researched into a new one and found Beech Lodge, and wish I knew better and had done so sooner!
Fantastic kennels for both doggie daycare and over night. Dermot had a genuine love for dogs giving them great care. I love getting the video clips of the fun antics the doggies get up to, always puts a smile on my face. 😊 …
I highly recommend Beech Lodge Boarding Kennels. We left our Cavapoo puppy there, in a very short notice, for a weekend and he was treated as a prince. We received some lovely videos of our puppy during his stay. Thank you so much Dermot and Caoimhe for taking good care of our Toby 🐶 …
I would highly recommend Beech Lodge Boarding kennels. Rang up on a Friday afternoon on very short notice in the hope to find a suitable place for a 2 night stay. Dermot was so nice and obliging taking our 10 month old pup in for the weekend. We were very comfortable leaving Dave with Dermot and his family and received daily updates with photos and videos. Thank you so much :) Look forward to seeing you again. Rebecca & Dave
Our cocker spaniel Nellie went on holiday here last week. Nellie had never been in a kennels before but got on great. We loved that she got to run and play all day before going into the kennels at night for bed. We could tell after her weeks holidays that she was so well cared for and relaxed. Will definitely bring Nellie back because she loved it so much!
I cannot recommend Beech Lodge highly enough. Our 16year old Springer Frieda had no problems and she was in great form when we picked her up after a 3 day stay over. It is obvious that the dogs are well looked after here and we have Frieda booked in for another stay soon. Plenty of space for the dogs to run, play and socialise.
Our dog Eochaidh enjoyed his stays at Beech Lodge Kennels. Would highly recommend. Owner is providing excellent service. Lovely people to deal with.
Our dog Bruce always enjoys his stays at Beech Lodge Kennels. Would highly recommend and lovely people to deal with.
THE BEST in the business. Our Eco gets beyond excited when he realises he's going here, he cant get out of the car fast enough. That's enough for me. Happy doggy, happy owner.
Jazzy and Stella love going out to Dermot, happy dogs going and happy dogs coming back,we couldn’t ask for more!
Very happy with Heather's Top Dog Boarding - we left our dogs with Maura, who had a gentle touch with us and with them, and they were in grand form on collection. A good set up too. Can definitely recommend.
I have a young border collie that is very fearful and can become aggressive with strangers as a result. Because of this, I had never left her with anyone but the time had come when I absolutely needed to introduce her to a kennel ahead of a 2 week absence. Heather came highly recommended but I still was very unsure my dog would ever be able to settle with anyone. I tentatively rang Heather and described my dog's issues and her response was amazing! Heather genuinely welcomed the challenge of working with my nervous dog and have her ready for her stay. Heather's friendliness and unshakable "can do" attitude put me and my dog instantly at ease. The communication between us was so easy and I was relieved to have found a professional with the same positive gentle approach to dog training as me. Over a few weeks Heather helped my dog build a trusting relationship with her and her staff. She was not put off when my dog had her moments and in fact I was amazed at how quickly and easily my dog settled in the end. To me it is clear that Heather is gifted with a natural ability to connect with the dogs, read their behaviours and lead them. Her confidence in her ability to handle my dog gave me absolute peace of mind while I was away but I was blown away when she sent me a picture of her daughter hugging my dog a few days after I had gone! 😍 I am so glad to have found Heather as I couldn't have dreamt of a better outcome!
Highly recommended. Heather took the time to settle my nervous dog in and I had great peace of mind knowing she was in such good care while I was away. I returned to a happy, relaxed dog. Thanks Heather!
Always leave our two dogs with Heather, very friendly, professional and we know that the pets will receive the very best care. Prices are very reasonable and Heather is always helpful and flexible as regards dropping off/collection. Over the years I've used a number of kennels from time to time but Heather's is by far and away the best I have seen. If you want the reassurance of top class professional care for your pets don't go anywhere else.
Buddy just loves it - can’t wait to get out of the car to see who’s there to play with. What more can you say? Makes it so much easier to leave him. Thanks to all there, who love him as much as we do!
We had to put our Fenrir with Heather for 2 weeks while I recuperated after leaving hospital. She was fantastic , our boy couldn't have been happier , so much stimulation and happiness.
Always leave our crew with heather, we’ve 2 St. Bernard’s and 2 golden retrievers, they need a bit of space and an experienced hand because they’re a lively bunch. They absolutely love going to heathers, it’s 100% a holiday for them and they always come home so happy
Heather is a lady and really takes care of the dogs. I left my dog last minute with her and she really took care of him. Have already booked her for the summer as I know she's excellent
Fabulous! Our Arlo LOVES to go there, his head pops up and his tail starts wagging as soon as we go in the gate. Heather couldn't be nicer and she really loves the dogs in her care.
Oh my , 1st time ever my Big fur babies were here, I've got 1 great big German shepherd who is a very nervous dog+ unfortunately suffers with seizures + my Alfie the rotweiler, cannot fault this place 100% recommend heather's peace of mind and so ,so friendly, now at last I can go away on my holidays with no worries, thank u Heather + dawn + all ur staff ,perfection xxx
Pet Sitters Ireland is a remarkable service for households where every member is a working professional and also for general pet sitting during holidays. They provide a variety of services catering to one's specific needs. They have pet walker service where verified pet handlers come to your place to take your fur babies for walks. They also have pet sitting services to take care of them during your holidays which is far better than kennels and many pet sitters who host multiple pets in the same house. Mike is such a great and professional guy. He will give answers to all your doubts and questions and alleviate you of all your apprehensions. 100% recommended. Thank you so much again.
I would highly recommend Pet Sitters Ireland to anyone looking for Pet Care. You can enjoy your holiday knowing your pets are happy and well looked after in their own home, i much prefer this option over boarding kennels. We have used Pet Sitters for a number of years, they give fantastic care and attention to our 2 cats and 2 dogs. Mike goes above and beyond to make sure they are cared for. And this year Aine did a great job looking after them all. My two girls love the photo updates received daily and get very excited to see how their pets are getting on while we are away.
I used Pet Sitters Ireland for the first time last weekend and I can not recommend them enough. Firstly great communication from Mike regarding the arrangements for the pet sitters visit. I was away for 5 days and the pet sitter who minded my dog was amazing and it was very clear she has a great love of all animals which really put my mind at ease. I could really enjoy my holiday knowing my dog and my home where being well looked after. I got lots of lovely updates each day about how my dog was doing. I am delighted I found this company and will definitely use again in the future.
I am so happy to have found Pet Sitters Ireland. I can now go to work safe in the knowledge that my dog Charlie is being cared for so well by Shannon. I love that she sends me updates and pics of Charlie during their walks etc..Being able to leave Charlie in the safety of his home where he is happy and relaxed means everything to me as he is getting on in his years! Thank you Shannon and Pet Sitters Ireland...just wish I had found you years ago x
We utilized the pet sitting services of Pet Sitters of Ireland for over a year when in Dublin and were extremely satisfied with the care and compassion they showed to our 13 year old Ziggy. Mike the owner, took the time to explain their services and instill a sense of trust with his company. He also called several times when we had to switch from our regular sitter and insured that we would be happy with the new sitter. When we did use the services, we got nothing but compliments from others that had seen a Pet sitters employee with our Ziggy and the care that they were showing him. That is such a good feeling to know you are leaving your family member with someone who truly cares about your pet. I can not express the gratitude and appreciation we have for everyone at Pet Sitters of Ireland! Thank you Mike, Karl, and Heidi for the care and concern you gave to Ziggy!
We used Pet Sitters for our wedding and can’t recommend them highly enough. Mike was an absolute pleasure to deal with. Communication was great at all times in the lead up to the wedding day and on the day itself. We were very reassured our dog would be in good hands and this certainly transpired. Mike was fantastic on the wedding day itself. He met our dog early in the morning before transporting him to the venue, where he was looked after him before returning him to our regular dog minder. It was so great having our dog as part of our wedding ceremony and we are so thankful to Mike and Pet Sitters for facilitating this.
Pet Sitters Ireland have been looking after our two cats Lilly and Pixie for the last six years and we are very happy with their services. Mike made sure that we got the best suited pet sitter and was always available when we had any concerns or feedback. One of our cats has separation anxiety and as we are travelling quite a lot, it is very reassuring to know the ladies are cared for by someone that love cats as much as we do. Alba, Eve and Christine were all excellent, reliable and well-communicating. Makes travel so much more relaxing for everyone involved!
I used Pet Sitters Ireland to check in on my cat recently while away on holiday. I was delighted with the service. Really thorough reports were sent daily and there was great communication. It really gave me piece of mind while away. Highly recommend.
I am extremely satisfied with Pet Sitters Ireland! Our cat is rather shy and is only affectionate towards us, but despite of that she was relaxed when we got home. The cat sitter followed my instructions carefully, took very good care of our cat, informed us regularly and even uploaded pictures. I can only recommend choosing Pet Sitters Ireland!
We have used Pet Sitters Ireland for both live in sitting and drop in pet sitting services for our puppy and elderly cat. Mike and his team went above and beyond to look after my pets. In particular, my puppy is a handful and they did so much more than I expected to help her settle in with her sitters. You will receive great customer service from booking, sitting and beyond, in addition to updates at every visit, including photos so you can be away from your pet with total peace of mind. I would highly recommend… thanks Mike and the team!
Excellent service,Staff are wonderful,they acknowledge each dog by name and get to know the character of each and every dog.Inn the dog house offers fantastic day care,allowing your pet to socialise with other dogs and people.i have also used Inn the doghouse for overnight stays and training…the main attraction for this business is the team working there..they are wonderful…I would highly recommend this business…
Always exceptional care here. Our Puppy regularly attends daycare which gives us the peace of mind that she’s being well looked after when we can’t be at home with her. Excellent also for Grooming & Sleepovers.
5 star service , dogs well looked after , it’s all about them their care ect . Outdoor play and games all the time , bubbles ect These three love it , grooming service training classes and sleepovers also available no need to go elsewhere , the dogs love all the staff , who are all dog people , and Lyndsy the owner is all about the care of our dogs
Our Puppy Geoff went in his first sleepover this wk after going in for his first daycare last wk. I couldn’t but recommend Inn the dodhouse the care the dogs get and the enthusiasm of the staff is second to none.
5 star experience for Inn The Doghouse if you are looking for day care, overnight boarding in their 5 star dog hotel or grooming, they have the complete package. Puppy classes and obedience classes are also conducted by the owner Lyndsey. The staff is very clear to see love looking after all the dogs in their care and I wouldn’t go anywhere else with my 2 fur babies. Can’t recommend enough. They also added on a cat hotel for boarding with a separate entrance.
Absolutely lovely place. Professional staff and very nice. Highly recommend 😊 …
I got my very nervous dog "Duncan" groomed. The staff were kind and very loving and understanding to Duncan. He wasn't locked in a cage before or after the groom and was socialising with the other dogs there for their groom.he also acquired a new tie from the groomers
Great staff who look after our dog Cooper brilliantly every time he goes for grooming.
OK once your dog remains young and healthy - have been sending my dog here since it opened and now as he has been diagnosed with diabetes and needs medication they will no longer take him. Very disappointing after the business we have given them over the years and dog is used to this place and now will have to change. Thankfully no where else I have rang has a problem with the medication so maybe training or staff experience not as good here or else they just want min hassle for the money. Bare this in mind before u get ur dog used to here as if they have an extra need down the line they won't be accommodating.
Our young puppy has been extremely well looked after by Inn the Doghouse. Even on her tired and sleepy mornings she gets excited and eager at drop off. Staff are friendly and give good feedback on how your dog is getting on.
Thank you for taking care of our Garo, he always has such a great time and we are so grateful to have you so we can enjoy our holiday knowing he is safe and happy ❤️
I was really worried about leaving my dogs at a kennel, I hadn't went on holiday for years as I worried about them so much. they are inside dogs and we love them like our kids. I dropped them off for initially 4 days, but after the videos and texts and daily reassurance I got from John I left them the extra 2 days instead I getting the home sitter. they had fun, I have videos of them playing and running around. I had texts to assure me scarlet had her daily medications and they ate all their dinner. I couldn't recommend this place enough they were fantastic and my babies came home today happy out! Such a relief to be able to go away and not worry about them, they are walked every , the go into runs out in the big fields a few times a day too, they got treats every day and lots of love. Really couldn't recommend them enough
I had a great time with Dolores. It's warm, cosy and safe and it's my number one choice as a home from home. Rosie, elderly cat and regular visitor.
Fabulous place 👌 very clean and tidy …
It was a lovely experience for my sweet doggie. My fur baby was very well taken care of. I have already booked for another period, and please God I will always book with this kennel. The owners of the establishment are great people. Thank you for taking such good care of my precious.
My 3 Cats are very well looked after when they stay in Rathealy. Their coats are always so shiny when they come home. I wouldn't have anyone else look after my cats. I've been a customer for years and will be for many more. They're picked up and brought back home with care. It's a great service.
All good.
Thank you so much for taking good care for Garo. Everything was perfect.
Very good service. Not too pricey. My dog is usually a bit off with us after being in boarding kennels, but not after staying here. He must have liked it. Bonus 👍 …
We dropped our baby off this morning, and all went well.
Great day care for dogs milo has been going there since he was 6 months he loves it.
Our Ginger loves being here & doesn't want to leave in the evenings, she has adopted a few of the staff as her cuddlers 🐕🐕🐕 …
Lovely staff who really love dogs and make sure your pooch has a good experience. Highly recommended
My puppy loves this crèche, staff brilliant.
Milo loves day care
