They have been visiting for a few years and always so happy to visit Patch's Kennels while we go on holidays. Jimmy is so kind and good with any dog he meets and they become part of his family. Would highly recommend Patch's kennels.

She seems really happy there, and she really enjoys socialising with the other dogs. Jimmy is great, very caring and always very accommodating.

We have used the kennels for both long and short stays for a few years now, the dogs have always been so well cared for, and Jimmy has kept us updated with photos and videos. Can’t recommend highly enough!

She loves going there and gets all excited as I’m approaching the gate. She has great freedom there while being very secure. Always depressed for a day after coming home😊 Angela - Oranmore
