Pet Sitters in Athboy

Highly recommend Cookstown Kennells, Michael and his Team are so professional and caring. Milo was with them for 10 nights and she loved it, her first time away from home at 7 years so obviously we were a bit anxious. Michael reassured us sending videos of Milo having a great time. Thank you Michael, finally we have found the perfect stay for Milo.

I cannot thank the lovely people at Cookstown Boarding Kennels enough for looking after mine and my partners dogs (our babies) Ruby and Rosie for the week while we went on our first Holiday in 4 years as we were so nervous leaving them anywhere. We were very anxious and Micheal put our minds and rest with updates that they were both getting on amazing. It really made our holiday so much better as we were so sad about leaving them in the first place and didnt know how they would get on. The female Staff member (i didn't get her name)was absolutely amazing, we knew we were leaving the girls with great people. She was so lovely and you could see how brilliant she was with all the animals. Also the Kennels themselves were so clean and well kept such a lovely spot. When we got home after collecting the girls we were so delighted to see a little giftbag in the girls belongings it includied a certificate for good behaviour and some dog toys and Treats it was such a lovelyi gift. Thanks a million I cannot recommend Cookstown Boarding Kennels enough.

Top class kennels for our Rottweiler Ozzie, and our 2 cats! No complaints from them! Ozzie takes off into his kennel with excitement! Never had any problems! Michael and rest of his staff look after them so well!

Great people to deal with, very friendly and professional. They took great care of our dog, who is quite nervous of strangers. Would recommend 👌 …

We just trialled Cookstown Kennels before a long stay for our baby and couldn’t recommend Michael and his lovely colleague Marie more! Fabulous kennels, shown around for first time to feel comfortable before leaving our GSD. Quality service and the team have put our mind at ease regarding kennels for our fella. Keeping dogs separate is a must but together if siblings is brilliant. Kovu is in great spirits after unlike our experience with another kennel so the team must really be great at minding all sorts of dogs, especially big babies! Thank you guys, cannot wait to be back ❤️ the goody bag and certificate at the end was such a lovely addition and really appreciated ❤️

This place was recommended by multiple people and even though it is long drive for me we decided to leave our pup for 2 weeks there. People are very friendly and place is nicely done and very clean. Price is reasonable and you dont need to bring much as everything needed is provided for the dog. You wont get any pictures or videos but on the other hand you really not worry when you are away. We will try to use this place for every trip if possible.

Fantastic, friendly and professional. Our two huskies spent 8 days with Michael and his team. This was our first time using Cookstown Boarding Kennels and will definitely use them again. Highly recommended!

We left our cat at the hotel for 12 days. Micheal was very professional and caring. Highly recommended. Even gave her a little goody bag going home and she stopped playing with it since.

left my golden retriever there 2 weeks ago was very upset as first time leaving him girl was so nice she brought me and my daughter around to show where he sleep and then play so i knew he in safe hands and when i went back he in spotless pen and looked happy thanks again for minding him so well

Michael and his team always provide our cat with the best of care at Cookstown. We couldn't ask for more. Thank you

We left Oreo with Angie & John for the first time and we were so happy with the choice. From the first contact to an amazing welcome from them on arrival, everything was first class. We could enjoy our holidays knowing that Oreo was well looked after & Angie was always sending us videos to show us how much fun Oreo was having with them. We would highly recommend them. Thank you, Angie & John

Holly’s Hotel comes highly recommended! - my rescue dog is nervous of new people and places but had a great time meeting the other dogs in a happy and calm environment. Angie and John are dedicated and passionate about dogs, and do a great job caring for their guests. Getting regular video updates is a great bonus!

Our golden retriever Bella had the best time during her stay at Holly's. It's definitely a home away from home. Our girls looked forward to the daily videos of Bella from Angie. Bella will definitely be back again

We came over from liverpool, where we live and needed our frenchies minded whilst we went to Dublin for the day and night . We searched the internet and thankfully we came across Holly’s. This doggie hotel is superb and 10/10. Professional, slick, safe and you leave your dog(s) there, knowing immediately that they are in safe hands. Angie and John are genuine, decent and caring people and Holly’s hotel comes with our highest recommendation.

Woof! My name is Obi & I love going to meet my friends at Hollys Hotel, it is pawsome!! The big garden is like my own playground. We chase & roll around all day long. And the treats oh wow! Angie & John give the best cuddles & make sure I am happy until my Mam picks me up. If you are a dog like me Hollys Hotel is the place to be.

At Holly's Hotel I felt like a VIP (Very Important Pooch)! Angie and John were so friendly and I loved playing with the other dogs. One thing I found cool about Holly's Hotel was that I got a chance to settle in with a playdate a week before my stay. I had a paw-some time! 🐶 ~Bailey (Cavachon)

Made feel very uneasy upon contact, was thinking I got the wrong number , not a professional buisness. If you have a terrier they won’t take them due to “noise pollution” . Contact anywhere else first , regards Lauren Christie

A 5 star experience for your Dog guaranteed at Holly's Hotel. It gave me great comfort & peace of mind when I heard of Holly's Hotel and how highly it came recommended. From day 1 of getting in touch with Holly's Hotel i knew this was the ideal place for our pampered pet. A home from Home for our Dog Elton. We have been sending Elton to Holly's Hotel since February for doggy day care (play days), overnight stays & weekly holidays. Angie and John are true Dog lovers and treat Elton like one of their own. I have great comfort knowing Elton is so well cared for in the luxurious, very safe & secure surroundings of Holly's Hotel. I Personally love the updates, photos and videos showing Elton having a fun time in the great care of Angie and John. I can't thank you both enough. Here's to many more fun times for our Dog at Holly's. Fearghal

Can’t recommend Hollys hotel enough! It’s great to see dogs roaming freely .coco & Chanel are actually happy to go for play days Angie is lovely to deal with ❤️

Amazing service. For complete peace of mind when you must leave your dog Hollys Hotel cannot be recommended enough. Angie goes above and beyond and runs a very efficient tight ship

Amazing, my little one Conan loved staying with Sarah and Michael 🥰

We boarded our dog with Bellinter Kennels for the first time in September. From the first contact with Neil to a lovely greeting from Olive on arrival, everything was first class. We could enjoy our holiday knowing Seamus was in great care. Would highly recommend.

We left our two dogs here for 6 nights, it was our first time with Bellinter kennels… we couldn’t fault them on any level, from the first phone call with Neil I knew our pets were in good hands.. we just collected our dogs now & they have come out so happy and looking good with no horrible smell coming from them as has happened with kennels in the past! A video was sent to us while we were away showing them playing…I will definitely use Bellinteer Kennels again… our dogs were in lovely clean brightly painted outdoor kennels with a great exercise yard & they were kept together. Everyone is so friendly & there is just a lovely feeling there. Thanks Neil & everyone involved in looking after our “babies”😄👏🏻

Our first time to put our puppy (1 year old) into kennels. Bellinter was recommended by our neighbour who has left their dogs and highly recommended them. Neil was so welcoming, gave me an update when I requested one and obviously cared for puppy so well as she was still a very happy girl when we collected her after nearly 2 weeks. Fantastic service run by lovely people - can't recommend enough

We boarded our cat Peep for 4 nights with Bellinter Boarding Kennels & Cattery and were really happy with their standard of care. Neil and Olive were so nice to deal with. Peep is a timid and nervous cat and Neil provided some excellent advice in preparing Peep for her stay. Peep came home to us in great form and we will definitely rebook Peep with them.

Have used several kennells over 30 years , I cant not fault Belinteer kennells , neil & staff are amazing. My dog came out so happy , was very obvious he was extremely well cared for 10/10 without any hesitation 👍 …

Our dog has stayed here twice, once for a couple of nights trial and again for a 16 day stint while we were on holidays. Neil and Olive are lovely and our dog was so well looked after. He is nervous around other dogs but didn't come home in the least bit stressed. Goes to show how well cared for he was. He's booked in again for a fortnight this summer. I would highly recommend.

Year 2: second visit in 2 years, 10 nights this year and we're just as delighted with the entire experience second time round. Many many thanks to Olive, Neil & Cillian. ______________________________ We have 2 dogs that boarded for 9 nights. They got to share a good sized spotless kennel with a shoot to an outside run. The most important thing for us is that our dogs would be healthy and happy when we got back, and they really were. I noticed as well that they included Neil and Olive in our excited reunion, which speaks volumes. There also wasn't a hint of insecurity or sulking, or fear of getting in the car again, which there had been a bit of when we last left them in kennels a few years ago. We are absolutely delighted. If asked for suggestions, I'd say that Olive uses WhatsApp and we would have loved a couple of photos, maybe a day or 2 after leaving and a day or 2 before collection, both because we missed the dogs and to reassure us that they were well. We have no hesitation in giving Bellinter Kennels our firm recommendation. If they'll have us, we won't look any further the next time we are lucky enough to get away. Hearty thanks and best wishes to Olive and Neil.

Wonderful professional service from Bellinter boarding kennels. Insisting of vaccinations prior to accepting dogs is a must in my book. My staffie cross spent a week in the very capable hands of Neil and Olive. Happy to recommend to everyone and will definitely be using services again in the near future

Hotel for dogs set in beautiful surroundings. Our dog settled in straight away in to his kennel which was spotless. Our dog had his own bed off the floor which was great. Fabulous staff that looked after our dog very well and will book him in again in May. Highly recommend these kennels.

I would like to recommend Bellinter Boarding Kennels where our 2 small dogs (pugs) were given the best care for 3 weeks while we were travelling on a once in a lifetime family trip to Japan. When we picked our dogs up, they were happy to see us, but they also were happy to say goodbye to Neil and Olive. Friends of ours recommended Bellinter to us while we were planning our trip. We are now very happy to recommend them too. They are very busy, so better to book them well in advance.

Our three dachshund’s stayed with Sarah in September for just a over a week. It was my first time leaving them for so long and I was naturally nervous. Sarah invited me down to meet her and view the property before I left to go away which definitely eased the nerves. I received regular updates and photos while I was away which again kept my mind at ease and I could enjoy my holiday. I would have no problem using the Dog House again and recommending them to others

Our little cocker spaniel stayed 2 nights at The Dog House. We got updates on her well-being throughout which gave us lots of reassurance whilst we were away. I cannot recommend the amazing service done by the team enough! The communication is amazing and the love and care shown to our little dog will not be forgotten! (The care was so great she wanted to stay longer). We will definitely be using their service again.

Oscar has been going to The Dog House for the past year, and he absolutely loves it! The mention of Sarah and Maisie’s name gets him excited, he cries with excitement when we get to the gate and can’t wait to jump out and run inside. Sarah provides regular updates, photos, and videos during his stay, which is so comforting knowing his having a great time and is well looked after. After each visit Oscar comes home happily exhausted from all the fun. I highly recommend Sarah, it’s a home away from home environment 🐶🐾

I have been using The Dog House since January 2024 for daycare and boarding on two occasions and I would recommend Sarah to anyone. I was quite anxious about having someone outside my family care for Marley but Sarah put me at ease from our first meeting. We get regular communication about how Marley is doing and the excitement he shows from the moment we pull up at the gate just shows how much he loves his time at The Dog House

Sarah is fantastic! We have been sending our German Shepherd x Husky (Pisces) to Sarah for boarding over the past couple of months. Sarah is a pleasure to work with and is amazing at looking after Pisces while we are away. We know that our dog is in great hands and well looked after from the minute we drop her off and until the moment we pick her up!! Would highly recommend!! Thanks a mill Sarah! 🤗🐾

I heard about The Dog House from a friend who highly recommended it.. she had her two dogs there on several occasions . I already had an older greyhound.. and had rescued a young lurcher. Pogue. He was extremely boisterous. A real free spirit. So I sent him to Sarah’s for day care only. Mainly , to socialise and run off his excess energy. Sarah sent photos and videos .. he was so happy and exhausted each time he came home . I needed to board him for a week shortly after..he had a wonderful holiday. And the bonus for me was that he was much less wild and feral. He was even partially crate trained. The most important thing for me, also,was that he was happy and well cared for. Sarah’s expertise and experience proved invaluable, as she passed on tips and advice .. Pogue had a fab holiday with lots of daily photos and videos and is much better behaved at home He will be returning soon for another holiday. I can’t recommend The Dog House enough. 5 stars!!!

Our 10 month old weimaraner, has stayed twice at the Dog House. She has come home very tired and content and I notice that she is playing even better with other dogs after all of the new friends she has met. Sarah is an excellent communicator and understands the value and importance of having regular updates on how your doggie is getting on.

I could not recommend Sarah enough! I have 2 big breed dogs and nobody would look at us, once Sarah met them she was happy to take them. She kept us updated on how they were doing the whole time, they were more than happy in her company. We collected them today and they’ve slept all day they had the best time!

Sarah looked after our whippet for us on a couple of occasions and she really went above and beyond to make sure both of us and our puppy were comfortable. We were anxious as it was our first time leaving him anywhere but we got plenty of pictures, videos and updates of how he was doing while there which was lovely and reassuring. Couldn't recommend The Dog House enough! Sarah looks after your dog as if it was her own!

My greyhound Sona has stayed here twice now. Sarah made a big effort to welcome Sona and make her feel at home and comfy, (greyhounds love comfort!). I got loads of updates on how she was doing, and I knew she was in great hands. The dogs have a paddock area to run around and play, as well as their chill out lodgings. Would definitely recommend.

Excellent. My dog Milo loved staying with A1 Kennels for 2 weeks. Have to compliment Ken, on his care, attention to Milo over the course of his stay, who needed to attend the vets surgery. Ken immediately contacted the vet for appointment and kept us informed at all stages, sending us videos to ease our minds too. Nothing was a problem for Ken, His attention to detail is A1, just like his service.

Our dog has had two great stays and was very well taken care of on both occasions. He's a very energetic boxer and he had a great time here. Thanks to A1 for all they do for the dogs.

Can't recommend highly enough! We have two adopted puppers that have been going to A1 for over a year now. They’re always happy to run into Ken in the morning and happy coming home… and then they sleep for hours! When we adopted them it was so important for them to get socialisation somewhere safe and fun. With A1, they have had the chance to do that and have had space and time to explore their own personalities away from us. Thank you Ken and family!

My dog obi love's going to a1 , when he was a puppy he was afraid of everything and everyone and a couple of months of going to Ken in A1 he is a very confident and outgoing dog. 3 years later and he still goes and love's it

We had our 3 Shih Tzus Paddy, Lester and Percy in for a weeks stay, we were more nervous than our dogs were - but we needn't have worried! Ken and his family took wonderful care of our furry children. Ken reassured us sending us videos and pics of their progress. The fact they run daycare here is fantastic, because it was fantastic to know that our boys weren't just sitting in a run for the day - they were playing and interacting with other dogs and they were as happy as they could be. I will be using Ken's services again for sure - thank you Ken & family for taking such good care of our boys. :-) Denise & Shane Califf.

Pepper loves going to A1 Kennel for daycare where he can spend lot of time playing with other doggies having a ball! We leave him as well when we travel abroad and he is very well looked after. The first time he went, he was only 4 months so A1 Kennel is like a second family for him. I cannot recommend this place well enough!

My dog Pepper spent 4 days with Ken when he was only 4 months. I was very worried as he was scared of other dogs but it couldn't be a better experience for him! He was a new dog after it with no fears at all! The treatment received was excellent and I have no doubts we'll trust his service again, doggy came home really happy !

Our dog loves staying here and always comes home happy and tired. Fantastic kennels with brilliant considerate owners. 10 out of 10

Top class service over the last 2 years taking care of our family dog! Ken and the family look after them like one of their own and even brought our dog to the afters of our wedding to make sure she was part of the day! Hopefully be bringing her here for many more years to come

My extremely lively boxer stayed for a little over a week and came home so tired, he didn't leave the couch for a day. He was crying when he got in the car and wanted to stay with his new friends. Ken is very reliable and professional and I'm happily bringing my doggie back next time.

Melissa was such a great help on our wedding day. From the very beginning we knew Alfie would be in good hands. Melissa came out to meet him at our house and Alfie just loved her. She picked him up on the morning of the wedding and brought him to our ceremony, it was so great to have him there and Melissa made it all so seamless. Melissa made Alfie a lovely bow tie and We were provided with great photos throughout the day when we wasn’t with us to ease our mind and know he was behaving! I would recommend Melissa to everyone, she made our day unforgettable.

Melissa was absolutely fantastic as the dog sitter for our wedding day. She took such wonderful care of our dog Morris, he seemed so happy and comfortable throughout! Melissa brought Morris around to see our guests and got him to pose perfectly for photos with us. After that, she took care of Morris overnight, giving us peace of mind that he was in good hands. We couldn't be happier with the care and attention Melissa provided and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter for their special day. Thank you, Melissa! Ruth and Richard (married April 2024)

Melissa was an absolute DREAM! Our little baby cooper was so well looked after for 3 days over our wedding. She brought him to our ceremony and was the star of the show. She even took little videos and pictures of him that our photographer missed. I couldn’t recommend Petigo enough. Melissa even has her own room which she stays in while the dogs are with her. I would give 10+++ stars if I could! So happy with the service and would recommend to anyone🤍🤍

Melissa minded our little doggy Bailey for 2 days over our wedding! Melissa came to visit Bailey before the big day and Bailey (who can be weird with people) took to Melissa instantly! Melissa brought Bailey along to the wedding for photos and couldn’t have been more helpful assisting in getting the pictures we wanted! Got updates with pictures over the 2 days and we were able to relax as we knew she was in great hands! Amazing experience with Melissa and minding our dog!🥰

Melissa came to look after Ralph during our wedding and we could not have been happier with the service. It was everything we needed and more. She preempted everything that both we and the dog would need. She thought of things that we hadn’t even considered and from the moment she arrived she took charge of the situation and was just like a wedding supplier of dreams. She just knew what was needed without even asking us. She had everything prepared, in case we forgot anything. She was thorough in communication whilst also assuring us once we had given her the info about what our dog needed she just took over from there and we didn’t need to do anything else. I just cannot recommend her enough. She was the most professional and reliable supplier from our whole wedding day and made it easier than we could have imagined. This is how every wedding supplier should be - no nonsense, no fuss and taking the responsibility of the service offered with no pressure on the couple on the day. I would recommend 100 times over, Melissa was so easygoing g an d professional and we were 100% assured our boy was in the best hands and we wouldn’t have looked after or handled him better ourselves.

Melissa looked after our dog for our wedding in Ballymagarvey Village. She was a pleasure to work with and had our dog literally eating out of the palm of her hand! She gave us frequent and regular updates, photos and videos of him to put our minds at ease. She also had the guests well trained so they didn't over excited our dog! We can't recommend Melissa enough!

Melissa was an absolute wonder! It wouldn’t have been our dream wedding without our cockapoo Bailey being there to join us. He’s really good and loves being part of things but gets nervous when he’s not with us. Melissa completely put him at ease, he was so happy to head off with her on the first evening and when she brought him back for the ceremony he was so well behaved and good for her I was amazed. Melissa has a clear talent for working with dogs, it’s obvious she loves it and if I could do it all again I would. I’d highly recommend Melissa for anyone looking to make their pet a part of their big day! Thank you so much!! Love, Christine, Ryan and Bailey

Melissa looked after our dog Charlie whilst we got married in Bellinter House in October. From the outset Melissa was brilliant - a thorough conversation beforehand made us feel that Charlie would be in safe hands. On the day of the wedding Melissa was amazing, she made sure that Charlie wasn't stressed or overwhelmed at any point and had him ready to go for photos with his personalised bow tie! Can't recommend Melissa highly enough! Great communication and professional service.

We were so glad to find Melissa to take care of our dog Ceoilí on our wedding day. It meant that Ceoilí could be there for our reception but that we knew he was well looked after during that time and for the evening and overnight. We are very selective about who we will leave our dog with but as soon as we met Melissa at her house, we knew he was in good hands. He also looked amazing in his custom made bandana and bow-tie to match the groom. Thanks for everything Melissa xx Sarah, Paul and Ceoilí

If I could give 10 stars I would. Melissa was a dream from start to finish. Having our dog at our wedding was so important to us but making sure he was well looked after even more so. Melissa covered both without a bother, the service she provides is incredible. She met Ralph in advance of the big day and let him familiarise himself with her house/ garden. She made the most beautiful bandana for him to wear on the day. Most importantly, she understood how special our dog is to us and treated him like a king for the whole weekend. We would have been lost without her.

Luna stayed here for a full week and she’s had a blast. Gayle takes really good care of all the dogs. You get daily updates on social media where you can see your furry friends enjoying their time with others on the green fields and all the safely fenced areas they have for the dogs. They also do doggy daycare, so there are always dogs so your little one has always some company. I will definitely will bring Luna back.

Thank you so much to Gayle and all the lovely team at Bridle House Hounds for yet again taking such good care of Ozzy. Ozzy is a nervous dog and the team went out of their way to make sure he was settled and happy during his week stay. Such peace of mind to know he is so well cared for when we are away. Thanks again 😊 …

Great standard of care. Amazing grounds and facilities. Gayle is treating every dog as part of her family. It is home away from home type of care. I wouldn't leave my dogs anywhere else. My 3 dogs, 2 labradors and collie cross stayed with Gayle for 14 nights while we were away on holidays and Gayle took great care of them and provided me updates and photos via WhatsApp . One of my dogs has few phobias, like not being able to walk on tile floors and Gayle always trying to make his stay comfortable by using throws on the floor. Highly recommend.

This is not your average kennel! Lovely house and grounds. Safe setup. Dogs are treated like their family pets! Thanks to Gayle and her team. Would recommend +++

Our dog Bailey suffered from anxiety due to being attacked, our dog trainer didn't work but taking our dogs to Bridle House Hounds has really helped. Both our dogs have a great time and we now take them once/twice a week. Highly recommended.

Gayle and team are an absolute dream to deal. Ted adores going here as well

Fantastic “Dog Hotel” as we call it. Our 2 friends are so very well cared for and loved in our absence . Complete peace of mind when they are with Gayle and her family . So happy to have found you ❤️

Excellent location and grounds. Friendly staff. Its like a doggy hotel. They looked after our 3, 2 labs and a collie, while we were away on hs for 10 days and we knew they were in good hands.

The sorroundings is so cleaned now specially the frontyard and backyard areas. Good job guys a perfect place for our pets. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED GUYS! 5 STAR RATINGS.

If you want your dog to get the very best of care and not have any worries while you're away, this is the place you leave it.
