Dog Sitters in Kinsale

Excellent care for our two cats for over a week. Thanks again.

Great cattery. Tony is very loving to all his boarders and the cats always come home well cared for. Peace of mind on holiday for definite.

We've left our cat with Tony a few times and can't fault his service! Tony is great to deal with, very understanding and so natural with our cat Max. Max is always content when returning from his time in Wags and Tails. Will be definitely returning to Tony again! Thanks :)

My cats have stayed with Tony at least 4-5 times since they were kittens and never had a problem. He sent updates on their well-being while we're on holidays for our peace of mind. The facilities are designed with cats in mind and it´s spotless. Even he has two different areas for the colder months. There are plenty of areas for playing and climbing too. Tony is passionate about animals and knows how to treat them. Always it´s been easy to deal with him and had excellent service, he even offer pick up and delivery. I could not recommend more

Toffee and Coffee had a great time. Chilling at home after picking them up. Thanks Tony. Highly recommended.

My two cats seemed to enjoy their first holidays at Wags & Tails and they've returned happy and healthy. Great communication from Tony from the start. Will definitely be back.

Tony is great, very flexible and lovely to deal with.

Tony was fantastic to deal with,minded my cat for 2 weeks and he was very happy. Gave me a little tour of the cattery,it's great. Highly recommend

Found Tony really rude when collecting our cat. He became very angry when I mentioned I would like to be allowed in past the driveway gate when collecting, to see where she had been staying. He refused. He said no viewings June, July, August. When I said I find that very unusual he became quite angry I had to ask him to stop shouting at me & all he said was go on away woman with your cat. I do not recommend, very odd, made me feel they were trying to Hide something, when they should be trying to instill confidence. Paid €280 for 3 weeks, no receipt provided either!

Great experience. I left my cat here for over 3 weeks while I was on holiday. He was well cared for by tony and is a lot more sociable and confident after the experience

Our dog Buzz was absolutely well looked after at Cork Paws! we were kept very up to date during his stay, Kristian and Stephen were very kind and phenomenal, taking great care of Buzz, I'd have no hesitation in recommending Cork Paws, if you are looking to leave your Dog in a friendly and safe environment.

I would absolutely recommend Kristian and Steven to anyone in need of care for their dogs. They have a beautiful home and 2 gorgeous dogs who were lovely relaxed friends to my little 5month pup and my parents 18 year terrier. Kristian sends lots of photos of them enjoying their holidays! Honestly think they’re great and so glad to have found them, it was like a home away from home for them both.

Absolutely reccomend this place, went to a wedding for 2 nights and with a 1 week notice, they were able to look after our dog Lexi for those days. Steven and Kristian are lovely, they had us bring Lexi over to get familiar with the house and them and their two dogs Buddy and Abbey who are adorable and very friendly, before we left. While away they kept me up to date with messages and pics of my dog to show how well and happy she was, playing with their own dogs. There house is lovely and they have a nice big back garden that is fenced off that they play in, so your dog cant make a prison break they also walk the dogs everyday. If you want your dog to be looked after in a family home enviroment, while you're away, rather than be stuck in a kennel with 20 other dog's and not looked after as much, Cork Paws Dog Boarding is the place to go. Next time I have to go away, I will be sending my dog here.

I didn't there was such a thing as the perfect dog minder for my pampered pooch Charlie until I met Kristian that is. Charlie is just back home from an amazing stay with Kristian Stephen and their two beautiful dogs. He was so well looked after and made one of the family and I got loads of updates and photos from Kristian. Charlie can't wait to go back! I would have no hesitation in recommending Cork Paws to any dog owner. Thank you so much Kristian!

I cannot recommend Kristian enough 😊 My Rosie can be nervous at times with new people but after her first day care with Kristian she was all waggy tails going again. Rosie recently spent 4 nights boarding with Kristian and she had the best time with walks and her friends Abby and Buddy. It was a huge relief to know she was in such good care. Thank you so much for everything we will see you soon!

My boy Toby stayed overnight in Kristians and I was very happy with everything. He sent regular photos and updates and Toby got on great with the other dogs in the house. He came home absolutely exhausted after a fun filled weekend! I would definitely use their services again.

Chico had a great day at day care with Kristian. He was well looked after and he was exhausted when he got home after a full day of fun with the other dogs. Highly recommend!

Elmo had the most wonderful weekend. He loved all the attention that he got and we got regular photos and updates. The biggest surprise was when we collected him and he was surrounded by three other dogs, and loving it. This was far from the dog we left three days earlier that barked at every dog he saw! Can't recommend Cork Paws enough. We'll definitely be bringing him back for his holidays!

Alfie stayed with Kristian recently while we were away. We were delighted with the updates daily and the photos sent on to us. Alfie looked like he had great fun there. It was a relief to have Alfie looked after in a home environment and with their own dogs there for company too. We would not hesitate to use Cork Paws again.

Brilliant!! My dog Bella had the most amazing time! I received cute pic updates of her while I was away which was lovely reassurance, she really enjoyed her stay and can’t wait for her next adventure! A home away from home.. Thanks Cork Paws 🐾 …

Imelda is a great person to deal with. The cattery enclosures are a great design and material construction. They are clean and tidy with a lot of stimulating toys and scratch posts. Impressed with the attention to detail in regard to the heating system, the cats needs and vaccination status. While we were away Imelda sent on video of our pets and we were re assured that they were in good hands. A very nice place run by a very nice woman who loves cats herself, I will have no problem checking in our pets again in the future. Thanks Imelda !

I booked Truffle Lodge for my kitten Marley while I went on holiday for a week. Imelda was absolutely amazing, so kind & caring & made me feel so at ease about leaving her. She updated me with lovely little video clips to show how she was getting on. The cattery itself is absolutely gorgeous & a brilliant rate! I would highly recommend it to any cat owners & would send my Marley there in a heartbeat 💓 a home away from home for her. Thank you so much 🌟

I've had my Lola with Imelda at Truffle Lodge Kitty care for the past 2 weeks & lola was very happy,content & well cared for.Imelda & her sister looked after her soo well The care was amazing ,even sent me a video of Lola while I was away which i could see how content she was .Was great Lola had her own pod which was immaculate & also homely 😊 Highly recommend Truffle lodge & I will be sending Lola there again in future. Imelda Thank you kindly

Truffle lodge kitty care is a great place for any cat the ladies running it are so nice and well equipped for caring for all breeds , our boy Mr Bubbles loved his stay there and we got a lovely update video midweek on our holidays , imeldas voice is so relaxing towards the cats , thanks for everything and hope to see you again in the near future all the best , William and Mr Bubbles

I would be lost without Imelda! She has cared for my beautiful cat , BooBoo , several times. She regularly sends me a video of my little man keeping me up to date on his form. He’s invariably cuddling up to her and enjoying the excellent attention. During his most recent stay Imelda’s eagle eye spotted he had a little burst abscess behind his ear which he would have got when at home but I had failed to spot. After liaising with me ,as I was in hospital ,Imelda organised a vet to call out and within days he was successfully treated. This was a huge relief and reassurance for me. I couldn’t recommend her highly enough and her excellent clean and warm facilities. I just hope she doesn’t get too busy so I can always book BooBoo into his second home !

Imelda couldn't be kinder to our cats. She is the most wonderful host and our cats are so safe there. Feel lucky to have her living so close us ❤️

Imelda is incredible! I would never leave my cat anywhere else. She takes such good care of him and I know that I don’t need to worry at all while he is at Truffle Lodge. Imelda is so good with the cats and she knows how to mind them when they are a little stressed out. The rooms are a great size with lots of hiding or climbing spaces. There are loads of lovely toys and they take turns to come out into the corridor for more space and exercise. Imelda always sends pictures and videos to let you know how your cat is doing. My cat never wants to leave by the end! I would reschedule my holiday if Imelda did not have availability as I would not trust anyone else to do such a great job!

Imelda is such a lovely lady to deal with. Her cattery is so well equipped and gorgeously decorated. She took such great care of our 12 year old cats Heidi and Freddy, even giving us little video updates. Thanks Imelda. Claire

Truffles Lodge Kitty Care, Kinsale is what I would describe as a 10 star hotel for my cat Smudge. Imelda runs an amazing cattery her love of cats is so obvious. Truffles Lodge is spotless, the food my cat was given was top of the range. The kennel was very spacious and would house 2 cats sharing very comfortably. My nervous cat Smudge, who is afraid of her own shadow allows Imelda to stroke her and purrs like they are old friends! My mind is at ease when I leave my cat at Truffle Lodge, Kinsale. Well done Imelda you work so hard. You have an excellent, well run fabulous cattery.

We have dropped our cat to Truffle Lodge Kitty Care on a number of occasions over the past year, for stays ranging from a few days to two weeks. Truffle Lodge is always very clean and each individual "suite" is cosy and welcoming. We always feel like our cat will be safe and warm both during the winter and summer stays, he is always in good form and bright when we collect him. Imelda is what Truffle Lodge is all about, from her cheerfully decorated office to her lovely warm welcome on arrival, Imelda had an obvious love for what she does, we will happily use Truffle Lodge Kitty Care again.

Sammy had a great time staying with Carol in Belgooly. We will definitely return in the future.

I could not recommend Irene & her family enough. We were so nervous at the thoughts of sending our FurBaby, Daisy to a kennel, as she is just 2 years old, an absolute baby at best and had never stayed in a kennel before. Daisy had quite sensitive skin & ears, which is no longer the case following her stay here. I cannot explain how relaxing our holiday was knowing Daisy was looked after like one of their own at Ballygarvan Boarding Kennels. I was sent photos and videos to keep us updated which was a really lovely touch. When we went to ollect Daisy Irene asked Daisy if she wanted to come back in and she actually tried to jump back out of the car 😂. Happy little smiley head and waggy tail said it all. Thank you again Irene, so so much. Daisy sends her slobbery kisses also. x

Top grade accomodation and care. Thanks for washing her! She might sleep on the bed tonight!

Our mixed breed 2.5 year old dog Dusty is a member of Creedons doggie daycare since he was a young pup. He is addicted to it. He gets so excited when I drop him off. I love seeing the photos of him on the seesaw, outdoor area or waiting patiently for treats. As a high energy dog, it’s just what he needs. He always has a great day.

It's great. The puppy is extremely happy there. The only problem is the smell. I know it's tough to get it out, but the dog smells terrible after 😬 otherwise great day care ☺️ …

Our beautiful Labrador Rocky has been using Creedons since he was 6 months . What an amazing fun ride it has been . Rocky is now 16 months and I can honestly say Creedons have made him into a wiggly happy go lucky calm doggy. Initially plan was just to use the daycare for office days. I’m now fully remote and have decided to continue to use it twice a week . We also use the hotel when we can’t bring Rocky with us. The staff are so amazing - young energetic and just such doggy lovers. Whoever loves their dog and wants somewhere secure safe and fun to stay , choose Creedons 🥰

Kayley's home away from home, I cannot say enough good things about the whole team at Creedons. Whether its daycare or overnights, she always leaves so much happier than when she arrives. Cannot recommend them enough.

Our large Golden Retriever was well cared for at Creedon's and came back with a lovely shiny coat and a happy doggy. The location is easy to find, easy to park, and drop off/pick up was a breeze. We are new to Cork, and have tried several grooming services in the Douglas area and this is definitely our choice for regular grooming for our pup.

We recently used Creedon's Dog Care for private puppy training sessions. The training with Megan was absolutely fantastic. Megan is such as asset to Creedon's. She was extremely attentive towards our Golden Retriever and answered all questions we had. Megan showed us a good number of tips etc. and would definitely recommend her as a brilliant trainer. Her very helpful follow-up notes on each of the sessions we great. Excellent service

I would like to thank Creedons for Millie’s successful first spa day! From the onset she was treated lovingly and gently and my nerves were very well managed. She was exhausted at the end of the day, a happy puppy. It gave her a safe and pleasant experience where it could have been traumatising for a young puppy like her. It makes our next visit one of many more. Looking forward to booking for next month.

We have been using Creedons for student dog grooms for quite a while now. It’s been excellent on every visit. We have two large dogs that we would otherwise struggle to keep groomed without the reduced rate student grooms. The dogs are there for a full 3 hours. They are relaxed, happy and beautiful at the end but most importantly their ears and nails are tended to with no distress, and these are so important for their well-being. Without this service we would have less groomers qualifying with hands on experience. While it’s important to remember that these are student grooms and there may be tiny issues that need improvement, all of the students are supervised by very experienced teachers so the dogs are in good hands at all times. Excellent service.

Our dog absolutely loves going to Creedons Dogcare. He has been going for 9 months now and still bounds in the door all excited. Staff are amazing with the dogs and we know he is being very well cared for. He comes home exhausted from a day of fun. We've also used their grooming service and we're very happy with the results.

I have a Samoyed who usually gets groomed every 6-8 weeks. I moved and found Creedons grooming college when searching for a new groomer and I’m delighted I took the chance. The students all seemed very kind at drop-off and the groomer my dog had (Eimear, I think) was so lovely and really listened to my requests. These students have obviously been trained to a high level and it shows. Grooming a Samoyed is not an easy task because he has so much hair but he came out looking like he went to any fully-qualified groomer. Can’t wait to bring him back!
