About: Welcome to BeechLodge Resort 🐾 I am Dannii 👋 an animal enthusiast and dog aficionado on the Meath/Dublin border, surrounded by beautiful countryside! I am within 35 minutes of most of Dublin, all of Meath and parts of Louth! A little bit about me is that I have been brought up around dogs my whole life, from German Shepherds to Jack Russell to Beagle, to Great Dane! I grew up attending dog shows held by the kennel club and GSA, as my mother was the chairwoman. I have dog grooming experience also, as I worked in a dog groomers previously. I have a great understanding of dogs and behaviours! I have been minding dogs on a consistent basis for 4 years now and absolutely love it. I have have many different breeds stay with me, as big as Newfoundlands to as small as toy chihuahuas/dachsunds. I am familiar with most breeds and have a strong knowledge on dogs in general, both behaviour and health wise! I have been around animals my whole life and minding dogs for family, friends and neighbours since I was a teenager, learning something new each time! I ADORE hosting pups at my home 🏠 I am usually home all day as I work at home! I have a very great routine and schedule with dogs and pups fit into my routine perfectly which is superb! It’s very easy going here but I also like to keep a routine with the pups 😊 I will make sure your dog gets the best care and attention, exercise and plenty of play time, so that your pup goes home happy and fulfilled. I understand different dogs have different needs, certain dogs are play driven, others food and others praise and affection driven so each dog have their own individual needs and this is an important part of forming bonds with each dog as a carer ☺️ I adjust exercise needs depending on breed, age, health and what the dog breed requires! I am comfortable with any breed that has a good temperament and it is important doggies visiting are indoor/toilet trained!! Doggies have lots of comfort here and it’s a real homely feel here! Doggies have plenty of outdoor time for fun, play, sniffing and exploring and then indoor for naps and relaxing, and cuddles! At my home there are always filled water bowls in every section of property so lots of hydration :) When working in grooming, I handled a variety of breeds, from akitas and greyhounds to bichon frise and chihuahua. I have boarded dogs as big as Old English Sheepdog and as small as miniature dachshund ☺️ My home is on more than half an acre of land, with a large back and front yard (secure) and also a fenced Astro turf with a hut for napping on warm days, and secure decking area that leads into my sunroom! I have acres of fields beside my home and beautiful country roads to go for walks on for miles. For dogs that aren’t mad about playing in garden or doing outdoor activities, they can chill indoors mostly, whatever meets their little needs! I will make sure your pup gets the best care. I will treat them like one of my own😊 I also send daily/every second day updates of your fur-baby :) depending which you prefer on your holidays! Your dogs have full access to over half an acre of land and huge garden, plus indoors.. it’s doggie nirvana here ☺️ Dogs that require more exercise and aren’t as play driven get walked everyday also! All dogs get plenty of play time in my garden throughout the day, I throw balls for dogs that are play driven and dogs that are not can do as they please and enjoy all the smells and places to explore! For Dog Walking only, I only walk dogs that live within a 15KM radius of me 😊 I also have a nice dog friendly spray if you want a little spritz on them before they go home you can request this ☺️ Your puppers will get the utmost love and care whilst staying with me at BeechLodge 💛 I hope you consider me to take care of your furry family member 🐾

“Emilia was super punctual and reliable, she was there on time and Verso loved her. I could see them playing, she was very tender with him, gave him his space and approached him carefully, it was super sweet. I'll definitely recommend Emilia, thank you for looking after our love one.”

About: I've been taking care of pets since I was 15 when I adopted my first dog. Since then, I've looked after my own pets and the pets of my family and friends when they're traveling. Here in Dublin I clean a house with two cats, and they are lovely. I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pets and provide what they need. I'm available weekly mornings and evenings, I'm available some afternoons, on weekends I can in the early morning. I always follow the guidelines given by the pet owners, as each animal has its own particular needs. I am a patient and loving pet sitter committed to providing the highest level of care, comfort, and safety.

About: About Me I am an experienced dog owner with a genuine love for animals and a calm, patient approach to caring for dogs. I have experience with large rescue dogs, having cared for two rescue dogs weighing around 60kg each. This has given me hands-on experience with strong dogs, different personalities, and dogs who may need extra patience, reassurance and time to feel comfortable. I understand that every dog is different. Some dogs need a long adventure, some need a calm walk, and some need someone who understands that trust takes time. My priority is always making sure your dog feels safe, comfortable and cared for. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate time to caring for dogs and providing reliable walks, visits and boarding when needed. I am mainly available on weekends and can also accommodate weekday availability depending on the service required. I understand how important consistency and routine are for dogs, so I always aim to provide care that fits naturally around their normal habits and needs. I have experience caring for large rescue dogs and understand the importance of patience, calm handling and building trust. I have owned two rescue dogs weighing around 60kg each, so I am comfortable with larger dogs and dogs who may need extra reassurance in new situations. I have a safe environment and always prioritise the dog's comfort, routine and wellbeing. I am happy to follow each owner's instructions regarding feeding, exercise, medication or any specific needs their dog may have.

About: I have been caring for dogs since I was 17 years old and have experience with dogs of different breeds, sizes, and ages.

About: I’ve always had a genuine love for dogs and really enjoy spending time with them, making sure they feel safe, comfortable and well cared for. I have experience looking after a variety of dogs, including Poodles, Akitas and different small breeds. I’m also a proud dog owner myself, with experience caring for both English and French Bulldogs, so I understand how important it is to be patient, attentive and aware of each dog’s individual personality and needs. I always adapt to the dog in front of me. If they are energetic and love to play, I’m happy to keep them active with walks, games and plenty of attention. I’m an active and athletic person, so I really enjoy longer walks and playtime. On the other hand, if your dog prefers a calm environment, cuddles or simply relaxing and having some company, I’m just as happy to follow their pace. For me, dogs are not just pets they are part of the family. I give them plenty of affection, attention and care, while always respecting their routine and what makes them feel most comfortable. My goal is for your dog to feel happy, relaxed and cared for while they are with me, and for you to feel confident knowing they are in safe and loving hands. I currently work part-time on a rotating schedule, around 20 hours per week, which gives me plenty of free time and several days off throughout the week. My availability can vary depending on my work shifts, but I’m generally very flexible and have plenty of time to dedicate to walks, playtime, companionship and attentive pet care. I’m always happy to coordinate in advance to find a schedule that works well for you and your dog. I always make safety, comfort and trust my top priorities. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, medication, routines, house rules and any special needs their dog may have. When caring for a pet in their own home, I respect both the dog’s routine and the owner’s space. I make sure doors and gates are secure, keep the environment clean and safe, and never leave a dog unattended in situations where they could be at risk. I also take time to understand each dog’s personality and body language. Some dogs enjoy lots of play, attention and affection, while others prefer a calmer approach and more personal space. I always adapt to what makes them feel most comfortable. I treat every dog with patience, kindness and genuine care, and I’m also happy to keep owners updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident that their pet is safe, relaxed and well cared for.

About: I’ve been having a dog since I was 12. My dogs name is Bonya and now she is 6, I have been sitting and taking care of her all the time, because she is a dachshund and needs a lot of attention and attention to her back. I’m a full time student in IADT, however I’m fully free on Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays and I would love to spend these days with dogs! Unfortunately I cannot keep animals in my current place, but I would love to sit and play with your doggie at your place, and making sure your dog shows comfort around me.

About: I’m from the west of Ireland and have grown up around dogs my whole life. I work full time in Dublin now and I definitely miss having a dog of my own, so dog sitting feels like a great way to spend some time with dogs while giving them plenty of attention and company. I’m responsible, reliable and genuinely love being around dogs! I work full-time as a teacher during the week, so I’m mainly available for pet care from Friday through Sunday. I can also accommodate some evening visits during the week depending on my schedule.

For visits, I’ll make sure they’re fed, exercised, have fresh water and are settled before I leave. When staying in a pet owner’s home, I’ll treat their home with respect and give their pet plenty of care, attention and companionship.

About: I've been taking care of my own dog for 12 years now, and am absolutely dog-obsessed! I can do walks, drop in visits, or overnight care! As an actor, I often have long work droughts, which is why I've decided to sign up! As an actor, my days are often quite empty when I'm not working. This gives me ample time to focus on other things, like looking after your dog/cat! I am free most afternoons and evenings! I am totally happy to follow whatever house rules you have for your pet, no questions asked. Things like crate time, amount of treats, and preferred food items will be strictly adhered to!

I am available full days on weekends and all evenings and early mornings throughout the week! Afternoons depend on the day and when I have my coursework however it is flexible and is never more than a few hours from around 11-3:30. As I have had dogs for so long as well as taken care of animals more formally through agencies such as this I feel extremely comfortable with most breeds and sizes! I also have experience with puppies as one of my dogs has had multiple litters herself. Along with that I have taken care of elderly dogs who required additional care as well, things like diaper changes and pill administration are tasks that I am comfortable with!

About: Have taken care of pets for many years mainly cats, hamsters and guinea pigs with from time to time minding dogs such as red setters, beagles and smaller dogs. Besides the "regular" kind of animals I have also minded fishes and I have a deep interest in sugar gliders and other exotic pets I'm a masters student, so I have plenty of time to mind, check-up or walk the pets. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate most requests. The pets safety and well-being are my top priorities. If there are any medications or strict guidelines to follow be assured that I don't mind take extra time or steps to ensure the comfort and peace of mind of both owners and pets alike. There is a very big park/walking route that can be adapted to suit all levels of energy your pet may have. Generally I wouldn't not take cats and dogs at the same time, unless they were siblings and were coming together. I wouldn't take more than 3 dogs at a time. As for cats I can accommodate maximum 4 cats depending on their personalities and willingness to be around other cats. In regards to exotic pets, it would depend and the type of pet.

About: When your dog stays with us, they're getting two dedicated carers rather than one. My sister Bridget and I live together and are lifelong dog lovers with over 15 years' experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. We have experience with puppies, senior dogs and dogs with medical needs, and we're comfortable administering medication when required. We share our home with our own dog, Louie, and understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with a beloved family member. Because there are two of us involved in your dog's care, they'll benefit from plenty of company, attention, and supervision throughout their stay. We know how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone else, so we'll care for them as if they were one of our own: keeping them safe, happy, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Pet care is a natural part of our daily routine. My sister Bridget and I live together and both help care for the dogs staying with us, with flexible work schedules, there is almost always one of us home during the day. Your dog's safety and comfort are always our top priorities. We live in a quiet area with easy access outside and are fortunate to have several great parks and walking routes nearby. We never let dogs off lead unless we've discussed it with the owner and are completely confident in their recall. We're happy to follow your dog's existing routine and accommodate any preferences, quirks, dietary requirements, or medical needs to help them feel comfortable and secure while you're away.

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs, so caring for them has always been a natural part of my life. I’ve had many years of hands-on experience looking after dogs, including managing daily routines, exercise, play, socialisation and general care. I’ve also been closely involved in a dog’s professional training, which gave me valuable practical knowledge about canine behaviour, communication, boundaries, basic obedience and positive reinforcement. This experience taught me how important patience, consistency and calm communication are when caring for dogs. I’m comfortable with energetic dogs and larger breeds, and I enjoy keeping dogs active and mentally stimulated. I also understand that every dog has a different personality and needs, so I always adapt my approach to their individual temperament, energy level and routine. I know how important it is to feel confident when leaving your dog with someone else. I treat every dog in my care with patience, attention and affection, while following their usual routine and their owner’s instructions as closely as possible. My goal is simple: for every dog to feel safe, happy and comfortable while they’re in my care. I study English Monday to Friday from 3:45pm to 5pm, so I’m available before and after my classes. I’m also very flexible on weekends and can adapt to different pet care schedules depending on the service needed. I provide a safe, calm and caring environment for pets. I always follow the owner’s instructions and keep their normal routine as much as possible. I’m attentive to their needs and make sure they receive plenty of care, exercise and companionship.

Each day, I focus on feeding, exercising, and interacting with pets, ensuring they receive both physical activity and mental stimulation.

Throughout their stay, I monitor their health, behavior, and well-being, keeping a consistent schedule so every pet feels safe, happy, and loved. I prioritize safety, trust, and a comfortable environment for every pet in my care. In my home or at a pet owner's home, I make sure the space is secure and pet-friendly, with no hazards and everything they need to feel comfortable and relaxed. I follow each pet’s routine, dietary needs, and preferences closely, and I supervise them during playtime, walks, or any activity to ensure their well-being. Building trust with both pets and their owners is very important to me. I maintain open communication, providing updates, photos, or messages as needed, so owners feel confident that their pets are happy, safe, and well-cared-for at all times.
