Dog Sitters in
Armagh District

We have our dog in for the doggy day care. We went down previously to check it out and people working there have been fantastic, answering all our questions and making our nervous dog feel more than welcome. She goes once a week and comes home knackered from all the socializing. We've been telling all our dog parents how great they are

We were happy with this place, we had to find a place within a few hours and they accommodated us even though they were busy. Our dog wasn't eating much and they rang us to let us know. We rang back a couple of times over the following days and they seemed to know who she was fairly quickly even though they must of had about 20+ dogs there. Happy to use again 👍🏻

My dogs are so happy here, the care is amazing and the staff are so helpful!

Excellent! Staff are absolutely lovely, my pooches have stayed for puppy holidays and day care. When your dog is happy to see the staff you know they are in great hands! Couldn't recommend more highly!

I left 2 dogs in for 6 nights and just collected them yesterday afternoon. When we got them home I noticed that they were covered in fleas. I mean covered. We had to bathe them a couple of times and comb and comb and I still found a couple of live fleas this morning. We are going to the vets today to get them treated. I would not recommend these Kennels due to this experience.

Fantastic place. Quality kennels and set up for my two dogs. They attend daycare regularly. Brilliant for dogs to socialise and play. Would recommend vip to anyone

Left our dog here for the first time for doggy day care and he was so well looked after. Would highly recommend.

Incredibly friendly & dog loving staff, both our pups love going here and we feel safe & secure leaving our dogs here

Great place for dogs to have fun and socialize, really friendly staff also! 😊 …

Staff excellent very friendly couldn't leave my dog in a better place .

Paula thank you so so much for having our 9 month old (big) puppy Murphy while we got married. We left Murphy with Paula for 5 days and he seemed so happy!! Overall it was a great service and everything was very straightforward and relaxed. Paula even brought him to the Cathedral for a quick snap after the mass- which worked out way better than we thought! Will definitely use your service again in the future. Thank you again, Catherine& James x

Paula is fantastic. My pets come home happy and relaxed. I love seeing photos of my cat in the play area and my dog out running around and having a good time. Thanks, Paula!

We have just left Harvey and Hank in with Paula and Steve for the third time. They came highly recommended and we can't recommend them enough. Our dogs love it here and I wouldn't leave them anywhere else. When I took them home last time Paula was in tears saying goodbye to them. Their love of dogs is so apparent. It makes leaving them every so often more bearable knowing they are happy and in good hands.

The kindest and most caring people you could hope to meet and have care for your pets. They went over and beyond what you could expect and kept us informed on how our little dog was coping. It wasnt easy for him but he loves his aunty Paula and we know she and all the people working there really care for their charges. Thank you very much.

The Armagh Country Pet Hotel has boarded our cat while we are abroad twice now and she has been returned in great shape and I don’t think missed us at all. Thoroughly recommend it.

Absolutely brilliant my two love going on their holidays to the pet hotel. You can tell as they jump from the car and run to the door to get inside. Without looking back. Totally professional service is provided and every year it gets better I've been leaving dogs with Paula for 15 + years and can recommend 100%.

Our first visit and certainly not the last. Fabulous care. My 12 year old dog came home rejuvenated, he had a ball with his new dog friends, he didn't want to leave! Loved the facebook videos of him while I was away. The owners have a passion for what they do and it shows.

Paula and Stephen are amazing and we thank them both for taking such good care of our boy. We just picked him up after his 2 week stay and he was so happy and well cared for we would recommend to any one who wants 5 star treatment for their special fur babes

Paula and everyone take very good care of all the pets left in their care, my dogs are always happy to be there

Great spot for you dog. Group socialising with other dogs, a field to run around during the day. Friendly owner, and resonably priced :-)

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.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Paws &Pals NI to any of my friends to walk or more their beloved dog. Samantha has been taking my dog Holly for a weekly walk for almost a year now and I.have no worries or concerns at all when she's with her and I can see from regular videos that Samantha and Holly have been built up a relationship. Margaret .

Just want to say a massive thank you to Samantha for looking after Monty overnight in our own home while we attended our daughters wedding. With Monty being an elderly diabetic dog we were very apprehensive about him going into boarding so having this option was a massive relief. Samantha was very caring and attentive to our wee dog and even sent me regular photos and updates on how he was doing. Having samantha with monty and giving him his insulin and watching him for signs of lows and highs meant we didnt need to worry about him taking ill on his own. Once again Samantha thank you so much and will definitely be reccommending you to my friends and family. Lots of love from wee Monty

A great service for your dog. We would not leave Penny our dog with anyone but Samantha. Just the best.

Our dog just loves it when he is being walked or even run by paws + pals. Very reliable service. I would book this service every time.

Lina took care of our 9 month old pup Ruairi while we were on holidays. It was our first time leaving him, but we were instantly reassured. Lina updated us daily with videos and photos and we could tell he was having a wonderful time playing with all of his new friends. He was walked and had plenty of exercise and cuddles. We were worried he would not want to come home to us!!! For Ruairi it really was a home from home experience and he was treated like their own dog. We will definitely book Ruairi in again and have recommended Cosy dog boarding to all of our friends.

We left our 2 year old cockapoo Alfie to stay with Lina while we were on holiday. This was the first time he was away from family, but Lina was so kind and reassuring to Alfie. She gave him so much attention, care and affection throughout his stay. Lina spent a lot of time bonding with him , so quickly he was at ease. We were delighted to watch the videos of Alfie in the garden with the other dogs.He made friends with Guinness amongst others. Lina sent us regular updates, videos and messages of how he was settling in. This allowed us to enjoy our holiday knowing that Alfie was in a home away from home. Thank you so much for giving Alfie such wonderful care and attention during his stay. I would definitely love Alfie to stay with you again. Siobhan Dearey, Dundalk.

Our dog Charlie has been with Lina for the past week. He’s not used to us being away and was quite nervous to begin with. Lina had a magnificent way of calming and settling him. She gave him lots of her time and attention and spent time getting to know his personality. We could see this clearly from the regular photos and videos she sent to us. She is so kind and caring to all of the dogs in her care. I would absolutely use her service again and would highly recommend this home from home for any dog 🐶. Annmarie & Charlie, Kilcurry, Dundalk.

I was very worried about leaving my two furbabies for the first time ever and I must be honest if it wasn't for Lina with her kind and caring heart and her love for dogs I would have never enjoyed my holiday. She took such good care of them and spoiled them, they didn't want to come home.We will definitely be using Cosy Dog again in the future. We can't thank Lina and her husband enough! They are 2 amazing people!

I highly recommend using Cosy Dog Boarding in Louth for your furry friends. My experience using their services for the first time with my French Bulldog, Canelo, was exceptional. Lina, the caregiver, went above and beyond by providing daily updates with photos and messages, keeping me informed about Canelo's well-being. When an unforeseen circumstance caused me to miss my flight and delayed me from picking up Canelo as planned, Lina graciously accommodated him for an extra night without any hesitation. The facilities boast fully enclosed grounds, providing ample space for dogs to play, run, and truly enjoy their stay. Lina's genuine warmth and evident passion for dogs instill complete trust in her ability to deliver top-notch care. Canelo was treated as if he were part of their own family, and I am immensely grateful for the impeccable service provided. It truly felt like a white glove experience from start to finish. :) I will continue to use her services for the future. Thank you, Lina & Donal!

Lina took care of our puppy very well. We were so happy to leave our puppy with her. And also she keeps us updated with video and photos of our puppy when we were away.

We boarded our big boy several times with this lovely people / dog hotel and he loves it madly and is always so excited to go there. Their own dog is also extremely friendly, playful and mine regards him as his older brother (like peas and carrots). They always take/took such good care of our boy, take him out for walkies in the mountain (never more happy to run in the forest or mountains with Guinness) and gets loads of attention and family time. They have enough space around the house for them to run, play, potter, snif, dig, explore and pent of their energy. For the time your dog is with them they regard/treat it as their own dog. They live close to a mountainous area on the border with Northern Ireland where there is plenty of locations to let the run and roam around freely. Every time when we get him back he is still tired days later and I think he misses having fun and be mischievous with Guinness. Both Donal and Lina are real dog people (like us), have a connection with the dog (sometimes I wonder if she knows him better than I do) and are therefor perfectly capable to take the best possible care of your cherished furry friend / family member. I like the idea that when I go on holiday, my dog has holiday (or a special time too) and they certainly give him that. For me the best indication is how the dog is about it and if he is happy it has to be good. I'm sure he is already looking forward to go back. After all. You can’t fool a dog 🙂

our Cheddar been to Lina s place twice already while we were away. we all think he had great times with Lina. delighted with himself. he didn't even want to leave when we collect him. highly recommend . 👍👍 …

Our dog Benji really enjoyed his stay with Lina and family, he returned home a really happy dog. I would highly recommend this home from home for your dog.

My dog had a good time there ,Lina took care of him very well ,lots of play and treats ,definitely will go back

My dog has been going here since she was 14 weeks old she is now 7 years old , I have never had a bad word to say about Eddie or the kennels , highly recommend it

I arrived at the kennels and greeted by Eddie who was a lovely man and was reassured that my pup would be in safe hands. I had asked would she be allowed out to play instead of being in a cage for her one night stay, he was unsure if she would be able to and mix with other dogs as he didn’t have much time to assess her temperament. I had contacted to see how she was and if she had got out to play, as any dog owner would, via text message. I assume this was another business partner who messaged me back, the messages I received where very unhelpful and extremely unprofessional saying to let them have their private time as it was 8pm and kennels close at 7. This was not what I was told by Eddie who reassured me to contact at any time. This has made me lose complete confidence in this business and ruined my trip away worrying about my dog.

Brilliant kennels! Been using them for about a year now and will continue to use them.

We always leave our 2 dogs here when going away. They are well cared for and enjoy the company of other dogs. They are washed before we collect them and come home smelling amazing.

Such a great place, my dog's were so well looked after by Eddie. We will definitely be leaving our dogs in Tirgarve again it's so safe and secure.

Been taking dogs to Eddie from I was a child. Can't recommend him enough. Very knowledgeable and friendly. Wouldn't go anywhere else.

We always leave our 2 dogs here when on holiday. Eddie looks after them well and for a very reasonable price. They're there today having their pre Christmas bath.

Didn't have any concerns at all on our week away and our biggish dog came back happy and healthy.

Eddie is a lovely person. My dog loved his time there.

Our little puppy was really well looked after with Eddie! Also provides great grooming services

Have used the kennels here for many years, and have never had an issue. The staff are very pleasant and professional, and my dogs are always happy when the go to visit.

Very helpful team at K9! Very informative and gave great details on our dogs visit.

Amazing people and place Odin loves all of his visits

Dogs have stayed here a few times would highly recommend

Kinder was happy and loved to be in this place.

Hi Szymon, I would love to understand why you gave this review. We have not had any dog from you stay with us recently. And I think if you're willing to give someone a 1 star review you should be decent enough to explain why? I find this very hurtful as we do our very best to make all dogs that stay with us as comfortable and happy as can be. Perhaps if you had a concern or complaint you would speak to us and we could have done something to improve our services if you felt that was necessary, instead of publicly giving a bad review with no reason or explanation offered?

Thank you so much for taking the time to review. We are thrilled that you were happy with our service :)
