Doggy Day Care Dublin

“Lorrayne and Francine looked after my 3 month old puppy Romy this week. They were fantastic with him and kept him entertained for the full day. He got taken out on a walk, they played with him and he even got to mingle with other dogs. He had a great day and he will be visiting them again soon.”

“Gerard (and Planet the dog) took great care of our Cockapoo pup Lenny. With two long walks and a perfect amount of photo updates throughout the day! We would have no hesitation reusing him again when in need - And will!”

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life, and caring for them has always been a natural part of who I am. I grew up in the countryside in Chile, where we were lucky to have four German Shepherds and one Dachshund—so I learned from a young age how to understand, respect, and care for different personalities and energy levels. Over the years, I also had the opportunity to care for Dobermans, a breed I truly love. I looked after them for three years at my family home, gaining experience with larger, more active dogs that require structure, attention, and confidence. When I became independent, I was gifted a brown Dachshund, who I have cared for since she was just 3 months old—she is my little princess. Although I don’t currently live with my dogs, they remain a very important part of my life. Friends and neighbors have also trusted me to care for their dogs, including Chihuahuas, Border Collies, Dobermans, and Dachshunds. This has given me valuable experience with a wide range of temperaments and energy levels, allowing me to adapt to each dog’s unique. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and always make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved. 🐶💛 Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I work remotely in the afternoons, which means I have my mornings and early afternoons fully available to dedicate to dog walking and pet care. I usually start my day early, so I can easily adapt to different schedules depending on each dog’s needs—whether that’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or spending a few hours keeping them company. Since I already have a structured routine, incorporating pet care is something I truly enjoy rather than something I have to fit in. I’m also flexible during the week and can organize my schedule in advance to ensure each pet receives the time, attention, and care they need. For longer stays or in-home care, I’m happy to adjust my routine to make sure pets feel comfortable and well looked after. I always adapt my care depending on each pet’s routine, personality, and the service required, whether it’s in my home or in the owner’s home. When caring for pets in my home, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed. I live in an apartment with a secure inner courtyard and a terrace, so they can enjoy fresh air in a safe environment. I maintain a calm and clean space, follow their usual feeding schedule, and ensure they get enough exercise, playtime, and affection. When I care for pets in their own home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent as possible. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding, walks, medication if needed, and any specific habits they have. I also make sure they feel accompanied, respected, and stress-free in their familiar environment. In both cases, I pay close attention to their behavior and needs, making sure they are happy, safe, and well cared for at all times. I also like to keep owners updated with messages or photos, so they feel reassured while they are away.

“Eve had a truly exceptional day with Tatiana. She was walked and exercised and loved. Eve highly recommends Tatiana to her doggy friends.”

About: About Jaine Animals have always been a very important part of my life. I grew up surrounded by dogs and have cared for them for many years. My three beloved dogs — Ted (a Pug), Amora (a Black Labrador), and Iron (an American Bully) — live with my parents in Brazil while I am living in Ireland. Being away from them has only made me appreciate even more how much our pets are truly part of the family. Over the years, I’ve looked after dogs with different personalities, ages, sizes, and energy levels. I understand that every dog has its own routine and unique needs. Whether your dog is playful, shy, energetic, or prefers a quieter environment, I will always care for them with patience, kindness, and respect. My goal is to make both you and your dog feel comfortable and confident while you’re apart. I’ll care for your dog as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, happy, loved, and well looked after at all times. As a professional photographer, I also love capturing natural moments. During your dog’s stay, I’ll be happy to send you regular photo and video updates, so you can see how they’re doing and keep some beautiful memories too. I look forward to meeting you and your dog! I’m a photographer, and I also work from home editing photos, so I’m home almost all the time. I usually only leave the house to go to the gym and, a few times a week, to do some grocery shopping. Other than that, I’m literally at home all day, so the dogs always have company and supervision. I have an extra skill as a photographer and I love photographing pets. So, in addition to taking care of your pet with all the love and affection, I can take beautiful photos of your friend! But nothing your dog/cat wouldn’t want — I value candid photos that showcase the true personality and joy of pets. I believe that capturing these authentic moments creates lasting memories for their owners. Plus, I always maintain a safe and comfortable environment for the animals, ensuring that they feel happy and at ease during our sessions.

About: Over 10+ years of experience taking care of pups; from puppies, adult, senior and rescued furry friends - I ensure each pup I welcome are given the utmost care and love. WFH and consult with the time, date and duration of the services I provide. Any pups we take care we are conscious of their routine and needs to ensure they are being looked after whilst fitting into our daily and weekly routine. I have a spacious 1 bedroom apartment with a balcony, and an enclosed courtyard for our furry friends to hang about for a quick play time. With 1 min walking distance to a large park, daily walks is super convenient, along with a 10 mins walk to the dog park. On leash always unless we are in the dog park and location in our walks will be on to ensure extra safety and care. Our apartment is very safe and newly built. If I am working, I normally have them around me so they do not get left alone, and I always have a pet camera for extra safety. This also applies for dogs we day sit, as we collect them in the time set and ensure to give them all the companionship and follow along their routine to create a sense of comfortability and normality during their stay. When walking the dogs, ensure my location is sharable to learn our whereabouts though I try to provide routine that suits the pups.

About: I provide a calm, safe and welcoming environment where dogs can feel comfortable and cared for. I live right next to Phoenix Park, so your dog will enjoy lovely walks, plenty of fresh air and lots of attention during their stay. I have been regularly looking after dogs from the same family for over four years, which has helped me build strong experience and a real understanding of each dog’s personality, routine and needs. I know how important it is to leave your dog with someone you can trust. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully and make sure every dog receives affection, exercise and a comfortable place to relax. What sets me apart is the personal and consistent care I provide. I treat every dog as if they were part of my own family, and I am happy to send regular photos and updates so you can feel relaxed while you are away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I organise my availability carefully so every pet receives enough time, attention and exercise. I am available for walks, drop-in visits and overnight stays, with especially good availability during evenings and weekends. I always discuss each pet’s usual routine with their owner beforehand. I offer a calm and comfortable home, follow each pet’s routine carefully and send regular photos and updates. I also live right beside Phoenix Park, which is perfect for walks.

About: I’ve spent over half my life surrounded by animals, as my neighbor growing up was a vet. I currently don’t have any pets, so your dog or cat would get my full undivided attention! I’ve personally potty trained two dogs (with a lot of treats and perseverance!), and I genuinely love caring for animals. I also have experience with senior dogs, and administering oral medication. I treat every pet like they’re my own, with patience, attention, and a lot of affection. I work full-time but with a flexible in-office schedule so I can be at home on the days where your pet is staying with me. I am able to provide toilet breaks every 2-3 hours, or more frequently for puppies. I live in a flat with a balcony on the 3rd floor which is accessible by elevator and stairs. There is also a fenced courtyard in the building with a garden where pets are free to play.

About: I love animals of all kinds. Growing up I always wanted to have a dog but my parents would not let me 🤭 Now as an adult I love taking care of other people’s animals ❤️ I love to walk everyday, so when I’m taking care of a pet I will take them with me on fun days outside. I work part-time in a flexible schedule, so I organize my routine based on the pets I'm taking care of. I've been taking care of both dogs and cats for 2 years. I live in a comfortable flat with my wife, with a small garden in the back and a fence. I have an organized home and a cleaning person who helps me from time to time

About: I only take one dog at a time so your baby gets all the attention and love they need. Love is all we need. 🫶 I’m Jessica, and I absolutely love dogs! I’m super caring and will do my best to keep your pup happy. I have over 15 years of experience with dogs and had two of my own. 

Django, my Schnauzer, had a heart condition that required special care, so I have experience handling medication and responding to emergency situations. Nola, my rescue dog, suffered severe abuse from her previous owner, which led to panic attacks. Her episodes are managed with CBD oil, a cozy blanket, soothing words, and lots of cuddles. Because of this, I’m also well-versed in helping anxious dogs feel safe and secure. I always visit Nola, she’s been with my sister. (you can see photos of Django and Nola in my photo gallery!). My apartment is 60 meters square (please see some photos of my place in my photo gallery), is very central, near Jervis, with easy access to great walking spots. There’s a green area just a minute away behind The Church Bar, perfect for quick outings. If your dog is energetic, I’m happy to go for up to five walks a day. Otherwise, we can enjoy a cozy day full of cuddles.

“I got in contact last minute with Gabriella. She responded immediately and was very accommodating. Gabriella was fantastic with buddy. She sent pictures and brought him to the park. I would highly recommend her. We will be using Gabriella again. ”

About: I'm a part-time writer who's originally from the USA but has lived in Ireland for close to four decades. I grew up in a house full of dogs, from collies to Saint Bernards, and learned to handle various dogs as a paperboy. Today I live in Drumcondra in central Dublin with partner Dawn and 16-year-old son Harry. Our home is missing our beloved Fonzie, our rescue dog of 17 years, who passed away in 2024. I've been thinking about taking up dog walking/boarding ever since, in part because I'm an avid walker (and no longer an avid writer!). On my near-daily walks I'm always talking to fellow hikers with dogs, and it just seems a missed opportunity not to have a dog with me, too. So I'm open to tailoring walks that really suit your dog, even daylong adventures with a picnic somewhere nice in the middle. If your dog would be staying overnight, or longer, it'll be even better, because my partner Dawn is the true dog fanatic in the family. It'll be nonstop cuddles once she's home. One key commitment from me is that your dog will feel at home, in a family environment, and will never be left alone. That includes nighttime, when I'll be sleeping in the living room nearby your dog (who I am betting will get a particularly good night's sleep, despite the unfamiliar environment, given all the exercise!). Because of our experience caring for Fonzie, who had mobility issues in her final years, I've also got a soft spot for looking after older dogs. I certainly won't be pushing your dog to walk more than he or she wants. We'll make sure the activity level/duration is appropriate for age, breed and overall health, following your own instructions closely. I'm a freelance writer, with the freedom to pick (or skip) assignments given that I'm approaching retirement age and frankly more interested in getting out for my own daily walk! If your dog is with me, I won't be getting distracted by work. We'll just walk somewhere nice and meet some other dogs along the way. In my home, your dog will be encouraged to sleep on a dog bed in the living room, but I'm not precious. We do have a comfy and well-worn leather sofa that Fonzie certainly preferred and your dog will be welcome to it, if the dog bed doesn't appeal. I'll stay overnight in the living room with your dog. I'll want to keep my visitor company and ensure there's no wimpering. For any quick potty breaks, we have parkland directly outside our home, so we'll go out at night and first thing in the morning, get some food, and then perhaps head out for a longer walk with snacks in the backpack. If you need me to look after your dog overnight in your own home, I'll simply follow whatever your instructions are. I'm a man of simple tastes, so you won't need to make any special accommodations for me.

About: I like everything about animals. I grew up spending a lot of time in my family’s farm playing with dogs and cats, and other farm animals. 🐴🐈 I am super energetic and work with kids and as a soccer coach for a living. Playing with dogs and cats is one my favorite things to do in my spare time. I live in a comfortable flat with a backyard I’m studying in the morning and available after that. My routine is calm and flexible. During the weekends I’m also available when needed. I ensure a safe, calm, and loving environment for every pet. I follow all owner instructions, maintain routines, and prioritize cleanliness, attention, and comfort so pets feel secure and happy.

About: Hey everyone, I'm Vini and I can take care of your furry loved one! I’ve always had a dog in my life, so I know how stressful it can be to leave your pet when you go away. You can count on me to make every effort so your pet has a peaceful, fun time while you’re off!” I've had a few dogs in my lifetime: a spiky Cocker Spaniel always running after birds, a chill Golden Retriever (the happiest dog I've ever seen), and a Belgian Malinois — or 'The Devil,' as my mom used to call him. All of them had different personalities and energy levels, and this has taught me how to deal with different personalities and needs. So no matter your dog's quirks, we'll make sure they feel right at home. My apartment is quiet, cozy, and has plenty of space, with a balcony that gets 8+ hours of sunlight a day and a massive rooftop where your pet can run freely without having to worry about a thing! Fairview Park is only a 10-minute walk from our place, and Griffith Park is 25 minutes away. I have great options if your dog loves going for walks. I also have easy parking available for drop-offs and pick-ups. I only take 2 pets at a time to ensure they get the level of attention and care they need. Walks will be done according to the owners advice and dogs must be vaccinated and used to living indoors. I'm into dog training and can teach your dog some tricks if you wish :) Staying at a new place is always a different experience for every pet. I'll make sure that they have a comfortable and secure stay, being careful not to overstimulate them, as this is critical for pets in new environments. Fairview Veterinary Hospital is nearby in case of any emergencies. I work from home full time, so your pet is never left alone and has a caring and fun company 24/7 while you're away. I have a big balcony that gets sun all day and a massive fenced rooftop where your pet can run freely with safety and no concerns.

“Marisa took care of Pippin (4mo maltese-bichon mix). Sent frequent updates and pics, easy to coordinate the schedule with. Will definitely seek her out again :)”

“Martha was very responsive and flexible in looking after our rescue. She was open to a meet and greet and very receptive to our dog’s specific needs. Martha offered good flexibility according to our dog’s activity level (e.g. we could pay a little extra for an extra walk), and kept us updated on how he was doing throughout the day. We will happily book Martha again to look after Cloud!”

About: Let’s begin this by saying that I absolutely love and adore dogs. I am a very patient and caring person and I connect deeply with animals , especially dogs. I have taken care of small, medium sized and bigger dogs (up to 30kg). I have a rescue dog of my own which I have raised since she was a puppy, so I am used to younger dogs as well. If you need any extra help during the week , let me know! I would love to spend some time with your fur baby! I am not working at the moment, so I will have a lot of time that I can spend with your fur baby! I am available to keep your dog for the whole day or to just take them on walks I live in an apartment with a friendly and social dog that loves to meet new friends! I also have a big crate if needed.
