Cat Sitters in Clough

Excellent service! My partner and I were a little bit nervous about going away without our dogs for the first time but we received regular updates and photos of our babies settling in and making friends with the other dogs there. Our dogs came home happy and healthy. Overall very well run and we could tell our dogs were well cared for. We will definitely be returning in the future so we can rest assured that our dogs are safe and happy while we are away.

Miki kept our gsd for 3 weeks and I was so happy with the service. I was consistently kept up to date and reassured he was doing the best. She integrated him with the other dogs and he responded so well I was shocked when photos came through of him playing with the others as he would normally be very nervous around other dogs! Clearly she is very calm and experienced with dogs and especially gsds! Kobe came home in great spirits, good weight etc and I could tell he was well looked after. Would definitely recommend and will be using again. Thank you miki x

Couldnt rate Miki highly enough! My dog had the best time there while I was on holiday he didn’t want to leave! Such a lovely person and amazing space for the dogs to run around

Can't praise Miki and her lovely family enough. She has looked after all four of my dogs all at once! For several years and they are happy wee bunnies when we come home which makes our holiday even more relaxed knowing they're well cared for. Thank you guys very much xx

Overall, a bad experience. We had two dogs staying for 3 nights. Although the business claims that they only have 3 households' dogs max staying at one time they fail to mention they also have 10-15 dogs in doggy day care at same time. They were also fostering 3 pups at the time and have 3-4 dogs of their own. The house gave off a sense of choas and we did not see how our dogs were going to get any sense of individualized care. We had no choice but to leave them as ferry was booked same day as drop off. In addition, the owner wasn't there for drop off and had left her teenage daughter in charge. We weren't asked any info about their normal feeding habits, routines, toilet times etc. and I found a piece of glass on living room floor which no one had seemed to notice. If all this weren't bad enough both dogs got bad stomach bug during their stay. Vomiting and diarrhea. Off food for days. Both had to go to vet for medication and fluids costing £200. The place may be victim of own success as clearly has had good reviews in past, but now far too many dogs are present at one time meaning each dog does not get individualized care it needs. There are also clearly hygiene issues as with so many animals in cramped space diseases etc pass around so easily. We will not be back. **** Update based on owners response**** Ironic that someone concerned with 'false claims' makes their own. Our dog was not on a 'vegan diet' but a hypoallergenic diet as recommended by our vet due to repeated ear infections. We have to slowly introduce animal proteins one at a time to see if they cause reaction, and if so, put her on plant based wet food to flush the proteins before trying another (as plant based proteins don't cause reaction). We had tried fish before she was at the hotel and it caused a reaction, so she was on plant based wet food and hypoallergenic dry food during that time. All this was of course explained at drop off, but as the owner wasn't there it's not surprising she has made a number of false assumptions. If she had the conscientiousness to be present when clients drop off dogs to make sure all relevant info was understood fully then this wouldn't happen. Also strange that our dog and sister in law's dog who was staying at same time both got sick literally the next day after bringing them home but no other dog did. Must just be an unexplained coincidence.

Take my dogs here regularly, for day care and for overnight periods whilst we're away. Michaela is experienced with dogs and I feel very comfortable leaving my dogs with her. As a dog behavioural trainer, I am fussy about leaving my dogs but this is a fab establishment - home away from home. Would give more than 5* if I could! Cannot recommend her more highly - however I will say that one of my dogs is picky about people and who he will be left with (away from his hoomans) and he always settles well with Michaela, he even looks put for her locally if he sees her car! I trust that they are in good hands whenever I leave my dogs with her, and I have every confidence in her.

First time my furry babies have stayed anywhere so I was a bit nervous probably more so than foxy and casper. I scanned the internet trying to find a home from as my two aren’t use to staying anywhere apart from my home, Miki’s was perfect as they were aloud stay indoors and still have that family life going on around them. We had a meet and greet few days before also. Miki’s sent me photos and updates on them and by the looks of things they were having the best time. Foxy kept jumping into the pool even first thing in the morning, poor miki’s floors. They are booked in again in April for 9 days but I think I’ll try some days here and there for them to get use to going. Thank you again Miki.

Absolutely fantastic service! I was very concerned about leaving my dog. Original sitter pulled out at the very last minute before our holiday. In comes Miki’s Dog Hotel to save the day! Absolutely lovely people! Picked up Mammoth (my dog) and brought him out, sent pictures and videos every day and kept me completely in the loop! To top it off they dropped him home too! And all for an amazing price. Mammoth got home very clearly exhausted, plenty of exercise and stimulation! I am so grateful! If you are considering using Miki’s service get off the fence!

Our two dogs, Rollo and Brina, stay with Miki every time we go away - whether it's a day trip and we can't take the dogs or if we're away for a longer period of time - I feel that my dogs are safe, cared for and having a good time! As a behavioural trainer it's very important to me that my dogs feel comfortable and are with someone who can handle the unpredictable nature of having multiple dogs together - Miki is very capable and my dogs gave always been safe in her care. Rollo and Brina adore Miki and her family, which is something you don't always get, especially in a kennel environment. Miki has a great system in place for dogs to be happy, safe and relaxed - plenty of room for zoomies and playtime too! 100% recommend. We last left our two dogs with Miki in May 2023 for 5 days/ nights - we received a couple if photos to let us know the dogs had settled in and were making friends; giving us peace of mind as we were away. Honestly, cannot recommend enough!

I booked my boy Bailey to stay for two nights with Miki's Home Doggy Day Care and Hotel as I had a wedding to go to and would be away for 3 days. When I arrived with Bailey we received a very warm and happy welcome and instantly I was put at ease about leaving Bailey as I seen how happy the other dogs in their care were. Michaela was so friendly and Bailey took to her instantly so that was a major sign that he was happy and he would be in good hands. I was sent a picture and updates with how he was settling in which was great he was up looking cuddles in no time and playing with the other dogs. Miki's was even generous enough to deliver Bailey home for me all the way from Dromore to Craigavon with very short notice for a very small fee such amazing people. Bailey came home happy and knackered which was great to see he had a ball and was well cared for. He will definitely be back again and is even booked in for 17 nights for when we go on holidays to florida I'm so happy to have found this doggy hotel so professional thank you for taking care if my baby.

Honestly these people know what they are doing when it comes to animals,clean friendly and very very nice people! My three cats had a great time..on pickup time they ran over happy and relaxed..my older cat was on the windsill looking very content like she would at home..I even learnt a few new things with cats on pickup lol! Thank you for looking after Luna,Darcy and Tabatha so well you have a new customer! XO

We had some difficulties with our dog's anxiety and went to Chris for advice and training. Best money we have spent in a long time ; dog owning has become fun again. I can't recommend highly enough. We have also used the kennels - again, I can't recommend highly enough. Great care is taken.

With a new puppy and her never having been to kennels you can imagine I was quite nervous, But Chris and his team put my mind to rest straight away, I had plenty of contact during her "Molly's" stay and she seemed to be having the life of riley.. infact I think she wanted to stay for another few days.. wouldn't hesitate to use Brookvale again.. and know I will. Thank you again Chris. I know you will love other peoples pets almost as much as the owners do.

Brookvale's own brand of dog meal has an ingredient list that makes me want to eat it! After just one feed of it my Border Collie (who was having digestive and absorption problems) was back to his old self. His digestive system is back on track and it's great to see his appetite return. I highly recommend it, your dog will thank you for it.

Just left my 19 week old pup today just for day care he's never been away from us at all so I was nerves more haha even had a wee cry getting into car but they looked after him really well and met us at the door with him brilliant service and amazing prices would recommend xx

Chris and the team have been an absolute God send and Jette has finally found her ‘home from home’. Our Dutch Herder, who has proved a tad too much for the two kennels we have boarder her in previously, has just spent a fortnight in Brookvale. I can not recommend this man, his family and team highly enough. From her very own bespoke plan for her stay there, till picking up a glowing, well groomed and happy camper to go home…with updates and even a wee video while away. Our holiday would not have been possible without you. For that, and the care taken of our dog, I can’t thank you enough.

We left Cookie with Brookvale for 4 weeks. First time for him and us, so I was very apprehensive. But………. I got such a surprise when I collected him. He looked fantastic, had been given a bath and was in brilliant form. And….. being a chocolate lab, I expected him to have put weight on, he hasn’t. He’s in great health and happy. I would absolutely recommend Brookvale.

Excellent boarding kennels at a very reasonable rate. Chris and the team went above and beyond in the care of my two dogs (one spaniel and one golden lab) throughout the summer. The professional, accommodating service was outstanding and would thoroughly recommend.

I would happily recommend brookvale boarding to anyone! We boarded our 2.5yo GSD Austin here for 4 nights as we were getting married in Finnebrogue Woods and we wanted him close by. From the moment I enquired they were so kind and lovely and helpful. They even brought Austin to the wedding reception so we could have a few photos with him, which we are eternally grateful for! Austin was well cared for and happy when we collected him!

NOT RECOMMENDED I boarded my two dogs, a Cocker Spaniel and a Springer Spaniel here for one week in September. When I got them home I discovered that one of the dogs, the Springer, had pressure sores on his front elbows and one of his ankles. On contacting the owner I was basically told that it was the dogs fault due to its inactivity i.e. it was always lying in its bed! Apparently they've never seen dogs like mine before as they didn't pace around their enclosure and were always lying down. My dogs are content individuals. In their down time they switch off, don't most dogs sleep up to 14 hours a day? If they're stimulated, walked and interacted with, they'll be as active as any other dog, particularly the Springer. Mine have been in other kennels numerous times with never a problem. Their bedding in Brookvale apparently consisted of a plastic bed and a blanket, somewhat basic. My Springer has severe arthritis in both front legs and had surgery previously on a back leg. I would have expected some cushioning for his bed, especially as I’d informed the kennels of his condition prior to his arrival. The exercise yard, I'm told, is concrete and the dogs can roam in it. And do what? I feel on this occasion my dogs were somewhat neglected, left alone and didn't receive the "playtime, attention, and individual country walks" that were promised. I'm very disappointed in this facility and the poor quality of care given to my dogs. It seems no one even noticed my Springer had pressure sores, despite the fact that he and my Cocker were bathed prior to me collecting them.

Excellent service, very reasonable price. Would highly recommend. Thank you!

Very happy with the service. Great to have somewhere to leave a small pet. John

Our pup always lives going to spirit of tyrella, I know he is well liked after and a much better option than kennels

Great place to leave your beloved pooch in very safe hands

Friendly loving lady who loves her job and treat any dog like it her own

Great service from Rachel. She looked after my birds and fish. Provided update on each visit. Came back home to find them all doing well and happy.

I was away from my cat for the first time and Rachel really helped to put my mind at ease. Having a meet and greet before hand, excellent communication and professionalism - I couldn't recommend her services enough, I will definitely be booking again. It was lovely to get photos and videos from each visit and I came home to a stress free pet!

We found Rachael very last minute and we wish we had found her sooner! We had peace of mind with Rachael minding our little cat as she sent daily photos and videos. From our initial meet and greet I was already at ease. Very professional and brilliant to deal with. You can tell Rachael loves animals and she is a true professional and an over all lovely person. We will definitely be returning customers and would recommended anyone to have Rachael look after their pet.

Amazing service. From the first minute of our holiday to the last we felt so comforted that our two cats were being well looked after. Daily photos, videos and updates on their antics. Rachel is a wonderful person and will be our go to pet sitting service from here on in.

I have just had the experience of Rachael pet sitting my cat, Honey and it was a roaring success. Honey is a little timid but she appears to have taken to Rachael from the outset. I was provided with twice daily updates which were much appreciated and came home to a very happy and relaxed cat. In addition Rachael had hoovered and emptied the bins,imagine. This will definitely be my go to option in the future. Very many thanks Rachael.

Rachael was great! We met beforehand to discuss expectations and My fur babies loved her straight away 😊. We felt assured our dogs where in safe hands and loved the little photos we got from her home visit. We would highly recommend Rachael and home comforts, we will be using her more in the future! …

It's such a relief to find someone who I trust to look after my cat. Rachael is so reliable and provides regular updates and pictures. My cat is usually quite shy but was all over her from the first meeting. Would 100% recommend Rachael to keep your pet settled and secure in their own environment/home while you are away from them.

I’d 100% recommend Home Comforts! Rachael was amazing with our cats when we went on holiday for a week. She was especially patient with our older cat, who tends to hide from strangers and often won’t eat when we go away. After some coaxing, she managed to win him around! I also really appreciated the daily updates and photos/videos. It’s great to know and see that they are being well cared for.

Rachael is fantastic, has a really lovely way with animals. She sends regular updates, photo or video for every visit. Would highly recommend.

For the first time since I had my cat, I had to find a pet sitting service while I was away and was not disappointed by my choice. While my cat is very shy, Rachael has shown a lot of patience and attention to detail while looking after her and was always careful to provide updates and photos. I returned home to a happy ball of fur that looked like she did not miss anything in the two and a half weeks. I can definitely say that I will be getting in touch with Rachael in the future whenever I will need someone to look after my cat while I am away.

My Sheltie Jamie has just spent a week with Darren & I couldn't have left him in a better place. He enjoyed playing with the other dogs so much & came out bright eyed & happy. I hope Darren will have us back next holiday.

Fantastic home from home boarding who will look after you dog like one of their own. We left our Frenchie for 2 weeks, and all our concerns were immediately put to rest with daily updates, videos and photos, making our holiday less stressful. Bruno thoroughly enjoyed himself, so much so, he huffed when we brought him home. Can't recommend Jacobs House Dog Home Boarding, highly enough. We will definitely be back.

Booked both my dogs in here as per a recommendation. I was so settled knowing they were well looked after. The surroundings are amazing, lots of countryside/beach and my dogs were walked well. Darren provided me with ongoing updates and pictures during their stay. Dogs were warm and snug inside the home, works well for little King Charles who are used to their luxury! Highly recommend.

The place is so amazing I almost wanted to move in myself lol. My boys were unbelievably happy and I had no worry at all. The weather was extremely warm and Darren looked after them with fans and shelter etc. Updates were regular and detailed. I couldn't leave my boys with anyone else, they would never forgive me lol

Very helpful. Missy our puppy was so well looked after thanks Darren

Excellent boarding for my dog, he always leaves happy. Knowing he is in safe hands make a trip away slot better, thank you

Lovely place and attentive staff, our cats were very happy after their stay here! It was also lovely seeing photos of them on your Facebook page while we were away, thank you!

Our furball had the time of life here, she was knackered when she came home, staff are great and very friendly, no problems recommending

Excellent,Michelle has a great team of dedicated workers who genuinely care about the cats and dogs. Charlie and Herecules were well looked after.

Pepper had a great time on her St Paddy’s day weekend stay😁 Pepper will be back. Thanks to all the lovely staff who made shy Pepper welcome x …

Been using here for years now, very good set-up and great service. We leave our cat in twice a year and they take really good care of him, he always comes back happy and a little fatter lol. Plus they do Facebook updates on the animals so my daughter loves to see what he's up to when we are on holidays.

Just started using day care and my boy has settled so quickly and loving the other dogs and excitement of all things new. Thanks to the team xx

Excellent kennels. I was rushed into hospital fairly quickly and I went up on spec they would keep my wee dog. They were brilliant and told me not to worry about Charlie and just get my health sorted. To not have to also have further concerns was brilliant. He has stayed there a couple of times, and never comes out looking as if he hasn't enjoyed the experience. Really good kennels, and I would thoroughly recommend.

I phoned sometime ago to enquire about booking in my little dog. I made a booking for one night only in advance of a long weekend and a week in July. I was told the price for boarding would be £24 per night. I phoned the day before to check and asked what time I could bring the dog and was told either in the morning or late afternoon. I arranged to bring him at 10.30 am. I collected the dog the next day shortly after 9.30 am. I had brought the dogs food also for his stay. To my shock and horror they charged me £48 . This was because it was a combination of day care plus overnight charge. Also the place was run down terribly . The cattery bit where I was directed to make the payment was very smelly indeed. Overpowering etc. The attitude of the girl who took my payment was poor, and she just said it is what it is. They seem to concentrate on doggy day care , however these dogs just seemed to be locked up in smallish runs. Book at your peril, I was not happy

They really helped out when someone else let me down at the last minute. My boy seemed happy and well cared for, and it was reassuring to see the photos

We had a trip booked before getting our wee puppy and so had to find somewhere to take him for a couple of nights. I was so anxious about having to leave him, but the ladies were absolutely fabulous! Our wee one was thrilled and didn't want to leave after. Highly recommend and will be using again if needed

I took my dog to kennels for the first time and I didn’t want to, I was nervous about her wellbeing but after talking to Keith on the phone I knew she was going to be ok! Keith has a wonderful nature and has a genuine love for animals. I received photos and updates of my dog which put my mind at ease. Upon collecting my dog she was happy and you could tell she had been well cared for. I would not hesitate to recommend Drumgooland. Thank you for all your help

Trust worthy and very experienced with GSDs...Highly recommended.

We have boarded our two girls with Drumgooland and they have been groomed here to for 10 years, I wouldn’t send them anywhere else to board, they are so happy to go in. Definitely recommend for boarding and grooming 🥰 …

Great place sending my dog to here for years highly recommend

Very friendly and efficient service from a groomer who obviously loves dogs

Such great care and kindness shown towards my dogs.

Staff are perfect. Kerp up the good work

Top class salon for your four legged friends

We left our Labradoodle at Cranmore for the first time. We are so pleased to have found Cranmore, all of the staff were so lovely and couldn't have been any more helpful. You can tell they truly love their animals. Teddy looked wonderful when we collected him and he smelt amazing, as they had washed him, even though we didn't pay for a wash. Great value on their pricing, but you get 5 star treatment! Thanks we will definitely be using again.

Great spot for my wee dog to put her paws up and get some much needed R&R. Definitely recommend

Simply fab. Great friendly staff and furbies love to visit whilst we go on our holidays. Good pricing. Deals for shared kennels if you've 2 dogs. Shampooing also available, dog came back smelling super fresh. Take your own food if you need to, but food also provided in the pricing.

Our two dogs had a great time at Canmore. Staff were great, sent us photos of them to reassure us they were ok. Came back very relaxed and content. They even got washed and freshened up while they were there. We picked them up spotless and smelling like baby Powder. A great place for our dogs to stay

Always use Cranmore whenever we go away or in need of a trim and my dog Barney cannot love it more! The staff are always lovely and friendly and remember everything there is about your pets! Always comes home content and looking and smelling amazing too. When we are dropping him off he is pulling me towards the door as he can’t wait to see them again. Thank you Cranmore for always looking after our pup and we’ll be back each time!!

My Cat has been staying here when I'm away. She loves it. Comes home really content and happy :)

Amber had a great time at Cranmore. They are very professional.

My cat Lucy was in Cranmore for 1 week for her first time. When I collected her she looked relaxed and well cared for. Definitely use it again. I was able to have a look round the facility before hand and it was really clean and cosy.

Had my wee Molly in for a groom and they done such amazing job and at such short notice, brilliant staff thanks again

We have used Cranmore quite a few times now and honestly wouldn't go anywhere else, our dogs always come out bouncing and happy. The staff are so friendly and helpful honestly cannot recommend highly enough. If you want piece of mind that your dogs are being well looked after Cranmore is the right place for you.

I adopted my dog Spot from Corran kennels in April 2024. He is the sweetest boy and is the biggest velcro dog I've ever had! Definitely a great place if you want to rescue a pup.

I wish everyone wanting a dog would consider getting a rescue, and Corran Kennels is a fantastic place to go. My heart was broken when my 14yo Collie Lucy, adopted from Assisi, had to leave this world last week. But Corran Kennels had the perfect healer. Sam, a 10mth old Collie, a goofy, happy, clever big bundle of joy and irrepressible love. So keen to learn, makes me laugh a hundred times a day and I don't know how I could ever have stopped crying about Lucy if I hadn't found Sam at Corran. I am forever grateful to them, and George. I needed Sam and he needed me, thank you for bringing us together ❤🐺 Almost Home have a Collie called Lottie, who I would have rehomed, esp as an experienced Collie owner of 40 years, but they never got back to me despite two requests, really disappointed in them, but their loss was my gain, and Corran was there when I needed help. ps Sam is now called Louis, not because Sam didn't suit him but because I have a cat called Samson 😻. Sam/Louis just wags his tail at 😸 and then moves on to the next box/bag/drawer to be investigated. 1 week and he already knows his commands, esp Leave it 😂, Sit, Lie down, Walk On, Here and Go Wee Sleep 😁 - and loves his new name!

Visited Corran kennels in September 2017 with my friend Margaret, beautiful Betsy came home with Margaret. Betsy was a great friend and companion to Margaret, was loved by everyone who met her, especially those who gave her treats!! Sadly after a short illness Betsy crossed Rainbow Bridge on Friday, please visit Corran and give dogs like Betsy a loving home. Adopt, don't shop.

About 20 years ago Corran Kennals gave us our first furry family member. Button was with us for over 15 awesome years. Honestly the smartest and best dog I've ever known.

I thought the thing with this kennel was to help dogs I had to give up my lab due to home life and had no other choice he's a healthy big lad and because he was blind basically told be safer ringing vets and doing the unspeakable because no one would want a blind dog but I got him into another amazing place and he's had so much attention and people that want to care and love him wer I left off

Excellent place, we got our Roxy from today and she's been an absolute miracle for our family. Staff respond very quick and deal amazing with customers. If someone is looking for getting a dog I would highly recommend getting it from them as you rescue an innocent dog and also get a new family member.

Took a wee trip down to see if we could give a dog a new home. 30th December 2019, Dash became a member of our family. To everyone at Corran keep up the great work, thank you.

Corran Kennels also is Downpatrick area's dog pound. To view dogs available for rehoming use their Facebook page. They cannot reserve any specific dog so if you see one you want to meet get there fast as dogs don't remain there too long. Opening hours are limited. I went on a Wed & timings were 10am - 1pm. A man assisted me to meet two 6 month pups. The kennels were very clean & dogs looked well looked after. I was given time with each dog & allowed to take each for a walk. I decided on the whippet collie cross called Codi. The fee for her was £80 + the fee for the dog licence which I will receive in a few weeks. If I needed a dog warden to do a home check that could have been arranged. But as a dog owner my home didn't require that. Codi, now renamed as Maizie has settled into our home & lives very well & her cheeky personality is starting to shine through. The man's advice & knowledge of this dog was spot on. Timid but definitely wanting to please.

This is Jill ( was Dusty ) in her forever new home and out for a walkies . I found the staff at the kennels very helpful and the adaption process went very smoothly . One issue I am concerned with is the fact that the animals new home and owners are not vetted and these dogs could be going anywhere ! We have had a couple of problems with Jill (Dusty) since getting her home , 1, she was in season 2 , she had Kennel cough but maybe the kennels didn't know about these issues - I shall give them the benefit of the doubt . Overall we are glad we have given Jill a good home and have found her to be a very friendly and chilled out girl and she gets on very well with our Male English Springer (Simba) If we ever need a new pet in the future then we shall give Coran a call - many thanks , Wilf It is now a year since we rescued Jill from the Council Kennels and this is a short update . She was advertised as being very friendly and this she is with people but unfortunately not with other dogs , she goes berserk and into a frenzy if we meet any on our walks and also if she sees one from the car. Not knowing her history as she had been picked up running the roads she may have been attacked by other dogs although there were no cuts or evidence of this when we got her . It may also be a defence or protection issue . We now have to keep her muzzled and on a lead at all times when in public , and keep our distance from other dogs. Otherwise although she is still a bit nervous she has settled into her new forever home well and is happy . Despite the above issues we are glad we gave her a new loving home , and strangely she got on the best with our Springer from the start . Wilf.

Lovely friendly staff and the dogs are very well cared for
