Dog Boarding Lusk

About: Hi! I’m Minji, and I’ve been living with my two dogs for over 6 years. I genuinely love spending time with dogs and have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, personalities and energy levels. I have two very different dogs of my own — one is active and loves long walks and adventures, while the other prefers a calmer lifestyle. They are both friendly, well-socialised and used to meeting new dogs while respecting their space, helping create a calm and relaxed environment for visiting dogs. We live in a house with a fully enclosed back garden, and dogs staying with us can freely enjoy the house (except our bedroom) and garden. We’re close to several parks and go for two walks every day. On weekends, with your permission, we can also enjoy longer walks, beach trips or hikes. We only care for one family’s dog(s) at a time, so I can give each dog plenty of individual attention and care. I’ll follow your dog’s usual feeding, walking and medication routines as closely as possible, and send daily photos and activity updates so you know how they’re doing. Meet & Greets are always welcome! I want both you and your dog to feel comfortable before their stay. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, loved and at home while you’re away Our daily routine includes two walks; morning and evening. On weekends, if the weather allows, I usually take the dogs to hiking for 1-2hours, and go to nearby cafe for puppuchino. I live in a house with a fully enclosed garden where dogs can safely relax and play. My two dogs are friendly, calm and well-socialised around other dogs. I only care for one family at a time so your dog receives personalised attention and care.

About: I have over one year of experience caring for dogs here in Ireland and have looked after dogs with different personalities, sizes, and routines. Before moving abroad, I always had dogs of my own, so caring for animals has been a natural part of my life for many years. I’ve always been used to the responsibility, attention, and daily care that dogs need to feel happy, safe, and loved. I provide a calm, safe, and caring environment where dogs receive plenty of attention, companionship, regular walks, playtime, and a consistent routine throughout the day. I understand how important it is for owners to feel comfortable leaving their pets with someone trustworthy, so I always do my best to make each dog feel relaxed and at home. I live in my own apartment in a quiet and safe area, with a park directly in front of my home, which is perfect for walks and outdoor time. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages during their stay for extra peace of mind My work schedule is flexible, which allows me to spend quality time with the dogs in my care during both weekdays and weekends. Dogs staying with me will have regular walks, attention, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. They will usually go out at least three times a day, and on my days off I have even more flexibility to adapt to their routine and needs. Creating a calm, safe, and loving environment is very important to me when caring for dogs. I live in a quiet area with plenty of space nearby for walks, including a park directly in front of my home, which is perfect for outdoor time and exercise. I always pay close attention to each dog’s behaviour, routine, and comfort level to help them settle in and feel relaxed during their stay. Whether they are energetic and playful or more calm and shy, I adapt to their personality and needs. I also make sure owners feel comfortable by providing updates, photos, and good communication throughout the stay .

“Our doggie was so well looked after by Gabriela and her partner! We had a really lovely experience and would definitely book with them again. Highly recommended!”

“Gerard was fantastic with Ryder, it was our first time to leave Ryder with anyone and Gerard provided daily updates including photos and videos to give us reassurance that he was fine, as we were worried as to how Ryder would react to being away from us, we would highly recommend and will 100% be us him again if we’re going away!”

Jennifer R.

“100% recommend! Harvey loves staying with Doireann and her family! He was well looked after, cared for, played with, and treated like a family member. I know based on photos and how happy he was when we picked him up. I think he likes them better than us hahaaa! Such piece of mind to have found her!”

Tami R.

“I was nervous to get a dog sitter for my golden Comet as it was my first time having no family members mind him, but Anastasiia was the best choice I could have possibly made. She sent updates everyday throughout his stay with lots of pictures and videos which completely calmed my nerves, and it was clear Comet had a fabulous time and was well looked after. We will be definitely returning to Anastasiia whenever he needs a dog sitter again and I couldn’t recommend her enough!!! 🐾🤎🐶”

About: Having just lost my best friend Quincey, I want to open up my home to any other dogs that need some doggy sitting 🖤 My home is warm and cosy, and I have everything here that's needed to look after your little dog. As I've had a dog here for years, the place is definitely dog proof! Lots of comfy corners for your dog to relax in. I am a big walker, so will have your dog out and about to get lots of exercise (but if they're not that way inclined, I can couch rot too!) I'm close to Phoenix Park where I loved to go with Quincey every day, but also 3 more local parks. I also have a fully enclosed back garden for quick toilet breaks. We would also always go for big walks in the Wicklow Mountains, or down to one of our gorgeous beaches - if you're comfortable with me bringing your dog to these spots, I would be more than happy to do so! You can be sure your dog will get so much love in my home, please get in touch if you think you'd like to discuss doggy sitting or boarding any time. X I work from home 3 days a week, and have flexibility around which days I want to take. So it would be rare that your dog would be left alone for longer than a few hours. I'm only a short cycle away from the office! My garden is fully enclosed so they are free to roam and sniff around the place. Happy for them to sleep in the bed if that's what they're used to 😅

About: I absolutely adore dogs and love nothing more in life than spending time making their lives as pampered as possible. I have experience with all ages, temperaments and also can cater for medical and behavioural needs. I have a certificate in Dog heath: dog breeds and basic anatomy. I'm currently working part time as a teacher so will have plenty of time to pamper your pooches. I'm available weekends from early morning and some days from 2pm until late. I have a walled garden and two friendly labradors who will love to keep your pet company if wanted. There is no area off limits in my home so your dog can have their pick of where they want to rest and play.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover and have grown up with big dogs, especially Golden Retrievers, my whole life. I have experience caring for dogs of different ages, including puppies, and love everything from long walks and outdoor adventures to relaxing on the couch with plenty of cuddles! I’m happy to offer both dog walking and pet sitting, depending on what suits you and your dog best. I work shifts, so my availability varies from week to week, but I’m very flexible and happy to work around your schedule where possible. I’ll always make sure your dog feels safe, happy and loved! I work shift work, so I am available to walk or mind your dog different days each week including mornings or evenings depending on what my schedule is. You can trust me because I have years experience of walking big golden retrievers who had lots of energy and strength! I will keep your dog safe and look after it as if it was my own pet.

“Amanda and her partner were amazing with Spirit, This is Spirit's 2nd time to board with them both and I have to say They were phenomal, caring, kind and loving and would highly recommend Amanda. Always sent me photos and checked in with me to keep me updated 😊😊😊”

“Beatriz was great, she gave me loads of updates on how Pablo was doing. She was very good with him and brought him out for loads of walks. I would definitely recommend her as a sitter”

Paul O.

“Truly a home away from home for our doggos. They couldn’t have been in better hands. Linda and her partner took such great care of Weenie and Fred. We even got lovely pictures of their day out and cuddles! Thank you so much for minding our dogs with such care!! We hope you’ll mind them again in the future!”

About: I’ve always had a dog all my life. I’ve moved away from home and miss my dog all the time. Walking by myself isn’t the same so I’d love to help you out and walk your dogs! I’m a teacher so I’m free every weekend. It involves long walks and cuddles. Feeding is no problem and anything else that they usually do in their days. I have a fenced garden and a big living room kitchen area for your dogs to feel safe in. We’ve a lovely neighbourhood with parks to visit.

“Lucy stayed with Joyce for a week and had an amazing time. I received pictures during her stay which made me feel at ease. Joyce was a lovely lady to deal with and I instantly felt comfortable leaving my girl with her. I would highly recommend and will be using Joyce again in the future. ”

Nicola M.

“Everything was perfect. There was a big garden, and my dog had a lot of outdoor activities. Brenda sent me videos and photos every day, so I was reassured about my dog's well-being.”

Mateusz S.

“Thanks Winifred for taking such great care of Obi: he had the best time at your place 🥰”

About: Hi! I’m a dog-loving mom in my mid-30s living with my young family of four in a peaceful countryside setting. We’re lucky to have five acres of land, including two and a half acres that are fully fenced—perfect for safe, supervised play and exploring. We’re also just a short distance from the beach (less than 2km away), where I walk daily with our dog. Your dog will enjoy plenty of fresh air, exercise, and stimulation as part of our routine. We have a friendly, young Golden Retriever Rough Collie cross who is playful, gentle, and gets along really well with other dogs. Our home is very much a dog-loving environment, and any visiting dog will be treated like part of the family. I also have several years of experience volunteering with assistance dogs, where I trained three puppies who went on to support families. This has given me a strong understanding of dog behaviour, training, and care. Your dog will be in safe, caring, and experienced hands with us. Both myself and my husband, Ciaran, work from home so someone will always be around to care for your pet. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I’ll make sure they feel happy, comfortable, and well looked after. Our home has a consistent and flexible routine, with plenty of company throughout the week. I work from home three days a week, and my husband works from home on the other two, so there is always someone around to supervise, care for, and spend time with the dogs. We’re very active day-to-day. I take our dog out for one to two walks daily, often including trips to the nearby beach, as well as time exploring our private land. At home, dogs have access to over two and a half acres of fully fenced garden and an attached field, giving them lots of safe space to run, play, and relax. Between walks, outdoor time, and being part of family life indoors, dogs staying with us enjoy a balanced routine of exercise, stimulation, and rest. Dogs staying with us are welcomed as one of our own, sharing our home and daily life. They can relax indoors with the family or enjoy plenty of time outside playing and exploring at their own pace.

About: I just love pets. I had 4 dogs in live, 2 cats and miss a lot play with pet here in Ireland. I would be delighted in taking care your pet and make them happy 😊 I am working Monday to Friday during the day hours. I will love to pet or onboarding your pet on Saturdays, Sundays and week nights I have a nice spaced apartment near by Saint Patrick’s Catedral where I can bring your pet for walk and meet other pets, if you like this idea.

About: I am happy to look after your dog/cat overnight for as many days needed, and will spoil them with cuddles and games. I love getting to know each pet's unique personality and quirks and connect with them as if they're my own. I have a car and will bring them to the park and beach for excursions, and vet if needed. I've always been close with animals, growing up in the countryside and spending lots of time on my grandparents' farm. I have been officially petsitting for the last four years, but previously have looked after dogs and cats for friends and family unofficially. I have experience both with (untrained) puppies, senior citizens, dogs with physical disabilities, and nervous and anxious pets who need extra care and patience. I also have experience preparing specialised foods and administrating medications. I am very happy to do a meet-and-greet beforehand, either in your home or in mine. I'm a part-time student, with flexible time. I live with my partner and our best friends; who are another couple. We will look after your dog/cat together. Your pet will never be unattended; there will always be someone at home with them. We are active- especially if we have a dog staying with us, we will make a special effort to bring your dog to the park and beach to go for walks and play games. I have a fenced balcony and a fenced yard/garden below for your dog to explore. I live with my partner and 2 friends, who are all animal lovers, and with years of experience. We have looked after cats and dogs together previously, and developed wonderful connections with all of them. Our environment is very relaxed, your pets are welcome to snuggle up with us on the couch in the evenings. We love being playful with the animals, so if your pet enjoys games, we are more than happy to entertain! We would only take one pet at a time in our home (unless you've two to look after together).
