About: I have had multiple dogs in my family since I was 6 months old, ranging from jack Russell’s to Irish wolfhounds. Now the proud mom of a mini Schnauzer. I also mind friends and family’s dogs when they are away. I have trained all of my dogs since puppies and have also taken care of senior dogs. I am at home all of the time as my husband is away in the Navy. I am available 24/7 for pet sitting needs as it is just me and my dog We have a front side and back garden completely walled and fenced in which my dog Sunny loves to play in every day. We are also walking distance to Cobh town and I have my own car if we want to go further out. We have 3 bedrooms in our house so if the dog needs their own space that can easily be facilitated and Phone Watch security system goes on every night to protect windows and doors. Also have front and back ring cameras to see anyone coming

“Darcy and her beautiful Fur-baby Sonny are a delight to be around. She is loving, caring and most importantly, looks after the well-being of any dog she is minding. She regularly minds our two Schnauzers with constant attention. I cannot recommend her more highly to offer a safe and caring environment. And Sonny? She loves everybody and every dog. She's a great socialiser and will make your Fur-baby equally welcoming. Don't hesitate!”
