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


“Ludmila is a complete angel! It was our first time leaving Millie with someone like this and we couldn’t have asked for anyone better. Ludmila is clearly a natural dog person and has a gift with animals. Millie can be a bit nervous but took to Ludmila very quickly and didn’t want to leave when we came back to collect her! Ludmila took amazing care of Millie, sent lots of photos and updates and we could see that Millie was at ease and enjoying Ludmila’s company as well as socialising with some new dogs! Ludmila was also very obliging as it was quite last minute due to unexpected health issues with a family member. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Ludmila or to leave Millie there again! Thanks a million Ludmila-can’t wait for Millie’s next visit”


About: Hey, my name is Emma, and I’m a 21-year-old college student with a lifelong love for animals and aim to work with animals in my future particularly in animal welfare, conservation and behaviour. I’ve grown up around dogs, cats and horses, and love being surrounded by animals and ensuring they're safe, happy and healthy🥰 I take pride in providing the same level of care your pet would receive at home. However, I only take vaccinated pets into my home to maintain a safe and healthy environment for all. I’ve also had the privilege of... Volunteering with the Irish Guide Dogs-where I helped with basic training, socialisation, and caring for puppies in their early development stages as well as older dogs for temporary boarding which included an online learning course and in-person training. Volunteering with Dogs for the Disabled-in their holiday relief role where I cared for dogs in training during a short period of time when their full time owner couldn't. Volunteering at Wildlife Rescue Centre-where I worked in the centre helping feed, clean and care for the various animals and their enclosures along with rescuing injured, sick or orphaned wildlife and bringing them to the vet/centre. Each experience was an incredibly rewarding that offered the different opportunities which deepened my understanding of canine behaviour, managing and supporting wildlife and the importance of consistency, patience, and trust when working with all temperaments and different species.

About: I am an animal lover. I love my dog. I enjoy the outdoors and with an energetic Jack Russell who loves his walks and spins in the car are a must. Dogs give us nothing but love so the least I can do is show them love & care when they stay in my home. I live with my semi retired uncle who loves having the company of a dog in the house and I also rent a room to students so the dogs staying with me will never be on their own too long. There is usually somebody at home so dogs will never be left on their own for too long. I have a front garden & enclosed back garden. I also live close to walkways so they will have plenty of exercise. I run a calm and comfortable house. Dogs in my care can come to relax and chill out or play and run around with my little terrier. I give the dogs the run of the downstairs areas of my home so they will not be confined to small spaces or just one room.


“Wally was in love with Imelda’s dogs and had the time of his life! I was updated regularly with cute photos and videos of them together and it was clear he was in good hands 😊 highly recommend ”
