I set up the DogVille as an alternative solution to kennels. My own dogs were unable to settle in the usual kennel setting and that is how I came up with the idea of a boutique hotel for dogs.

Dog boarding

Dog Pavillion

Our dog pavillion is a big heated sitting room with a sofa, armchairs and lots of comfortable beds

24/7 supervision

The dogs are always supervised by one of the members of our team while playing with other furry friends.

1 acre fenced garden

We offer our furry friends a fully fenced, secured 1 acre garden to play, smell and run around in.

A stress free environment

Spaces are limited as we are creating safe and stress free environment for all dogs staying at the DogVille.

Photos and updates

We will send you photos and updates.

Well behaved dogs

All the dogs we accept must be dog friendly – all new guest dogs will be subject to assessment.

Opened 7 days/week

Dogville Check-In and Check-Out times are usually between 9am-6pm. Pick ups and drop offs outside these hours may be subject to extra charge.

Feeding

Feeding times  are  usually 7am and 7pm. We will cater for your dog’s dietary needs if they require a different schedule due to medication or another reason.

Extras

At an extra charge we also offer:

5k walk

A 5k walk in Moanbaun Woods while your dog stays at the Dogville. Please note that your dog needs to be good on the lead.

Pick-ups and drop-offs

We offer pick-ups and drops off in Cork City.

New dog assessment

You will leave your dog with us for 3 to 4 hours and we will observe their behaviour and level of socialisation and decide if your furry friend is suitable for our setting.

Wash and blow dry

We highly recommend adding wash and blow dry for your dog after long stay with us; most of our furry guests indulge in the use of our big garden and can get fairly dirty.

What to bring

Food 

Due to increasing occurrence of food allergies we don’t provide food to reduce the risk of an adverse reaction whilst your dog is staying with us, therefore please remember to bring enough food for your dog’s stay.

Crate

If your dog is crate trained you can bring your dog’s crate for them. It often helps in maintaining their sleeping habits, 

Bed

We always have dog beds around, but if you prefer we’ll use your dog’s blanket and bed to make them extra comfortable.

Sleep aids

If your Dog is used to sleeping with a favourite toy or blanket, please pack as this will help your dog settle and enjoy their stay.

No toys

Please be sparing with toys. There will be several dogs in the Dogville at anytime and they may decide to hide or break any toys you bring.

No leashes

The dogs can walk freely around the premises. We have some of our own leashes, so no other are necessary. Do keep the collar on them.

No bowls

We provide our own bowls for feeding the dogs. They often got mixed up on pickup. So it works out easier with our own bowls.
