Dog Boarding Swords

“Lilian was great minding Millie. When I met her it was clear that she is very experienced and knowledgeable with dogs and showed great affection for Millie and her own dog Pepsi. It was obvious Millie was going to be well looked after. Communications throughout the dogminding was perfect and I had peace of mind that I didn't need to worry about Millie in my absence. Anyone would be lucky to have Lilian mind their doggie.”

“Mariana did a fantastic job of looking after my 7 month old puppy, Buddy. It was his first time staying away from me and Mariana immediately put him at ease and he seemed to love his time with her. She kept me updated on his progress which was great and meant I didn't need to worry. I couldn't recommend Mariana highly enough and Buddy will definitely be going back to stay with her again.”

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 .

“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!”

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.

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

“Maham took the most excellent care of my baby Bell, I couldn’t reccomend her enough! She was so attentive to her picky eating habits & updated me often on what they were getting up to :) Makes leaving them so much easier knowing they’re in such kind hands <3”

“Gabriella and her lovely family took perfect care of our dog Kelly. She took great care introducing Kelly to her own dogs and ensured she was really comfortable. Lots of daily video's and photo's provided us with constant reassurance Kelly was being so well cared for her. Would 100% recommend her if your dog needs minding and will of course be using her again. Thanks Gabriella”

“Sandra did a great job minding my anxious pup. Callie came back calm and happy and I got lots of happy looking photo updates. She followed medicine and special dietary requirements no problem.”

About: *Due to the size of our apartment, we can comfortably accommodate cats or small dogs.
* About us: hello we are Conor and Jade 👋🏻 We both grew up around animals and believe that animals are a part of the family! 💗 Our experience goes beyond pet ownership. Conor worked as a Cat Surrender Liaison with the CDPA, supporting cats and their owners through difficult situations, as well as volunteering as a home screener for the DSPCA, assessing potential homes for rescue animals. These roles gave him valuable insight into animal behaviour, welfare, and the individual needs of pets from all backgrounds. Conor works hybrid from home and Jade works full-time remote from home, so we always ensure that at least one of us is home when we are pet-sitting, to ensure the animal gets all the companionship and attention they need! We will treat your pet like it's our own and ensure it gets all the love, care and attention while you're away! We also do not have any of our pets in our apartment.
Our space / nearby park: We live in a two-bedroom apartment with an open plan kitchen and sitting room area that we own in Palmerstown, Dublin 20 🏡 We have a shared garden in the apartment complex for your pet to play in that is enclosed by fences and a front gate. We also live a 5 minute walk away from a large park (Waterstown Park) that your dog can run around in! It is a large and quiet park with an enclosed dog park also. 
As our apartment is best suited to smaller pets, we can comfortably accommodate cats and small dogs. This allows us to give each pet the attention, care, and space they deserve, ensuring they feel relaxed and at home while you're away. Whether your pet loves cuddles on the sofa, playtime, long walks, or simply having a calm companion nearby, we'll make sure they're cared for.
Our motivation: We would love to have our own dogs and cats one day, however, we are not in the position to have full time pets yet. But we still have the desire to spend quality time with animals! Whenever we get the chance we get the chance we take the opportunity to spend time with animals. We pet sit for friends and family often, and we treat them like members of our family 💗 We are active people and genuinely love getting out for long walks with dogs!
We understand that every pet is unique, and we treat every animal in our care as if they were our own. Whether your pet is energetic and adventurous, shy and sensitive, or somewhere in between, we'll make sure they receive the love, patience, and attention they deserve. Our goal is always to give owners complete peace of mind while ensuring their pets are happy, comfortable, and cared for. I work full time remote from home. My partner also works hybrid, working from home most days in the week. As a result, there will always be someone at home when we are minding your dog. I go on a daily walks to the large park nearby our apartment so we will ensure that your dog will get daily exercise. We live in a two-bedroom apartment, therefore, we are only accepting small dogs for dog boarding. We do not own any pets and we will only ever dog-sit one dog at a time. This will ensure that we can focus our full care anc attention on your dog. We have a fenced garden at the back of our apartment. We also live 5 minutes walk away from a large park, Waterstown Park which has approx 4km radius. There is also a dog park in this park, where dogs can be let off the lead and run and play freely. On our daily walks with your dog, we will ensure to keep them on the lead. We will never let your dog off the lead in the park or allow them in the dog park without your permission.

“Billy has stayed with Silvana on several occasions and is always well cared for and has a great time. He always gets very excited when he sees her. Silvana has been really accommodating and helpful when needed. Would recommend to anyone looking for a sitter in the area.”

“Nadine and Raphael were fantastic. Our dog had an amazing time. She was looked after so well. She was brought to the beach, cliff walks and spent plenty of time in the park. Our dog is very high energy and she was well matched with Enzo. We'd highly recommend and book again in a heartbeat ☺️ They kept us updated everyday which really helped ease our nerves while away. Thanks so much guys!”

“Maxime was just brilliant with our 1 yr old cocker spaniel. So caring and loving to our dog. Kept in contact at all times . I will definitely leave Milo in his care again .”

About: I have cared for cats all my life and currently have my own cat. I also look after my neighbour’s cats when needed. I am caring, responsible and reliable, and I understand the importance of feeding, cleanliness, affection, playtime and safety. I will treat every pet with love and attention as if they were my own. I will offer pet care on my days off and whenever I have enough time to give each pet proper attention. I will keep my calendar updated and only accept bookings that fit safely into my schedule. I provide a clean, calm and loving home. I have a friendly cat, so I only accept dogs that are calm and comfortable around cats. I will follow the owner’s instructions, provide walks and playtime, and send regular photo updates.

About: My love for dogs started when I was young. I grew up with my lovely poodle, who was by my side for 12 wonderful years. He taught me so much about love, patience, and companionship, and having him in my life was one of the happiest experiences I’ve ever had. Since then, I’ve also looked after friends’ dogs, both big and small, and I’m now raising my own westie puppy Jerry. I understand that every dog has their own personality, habits, and needs. Some love endless playtime, while others prefer a quiet cuddle or a peaceful nap. Before looking after your pup, I’d love to learn about their personality, daily routine, favourite activities, and anything they might be nervous about, so I can make sure they feel happy, safe, and at home. To me, dogs aren’t just pets. They’re family ❤️ I’m currently a PhD student and work from home every day, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to spend with my furry guests! I already have a daily routine with my own dog, including 3–4 walks a day, usually around 20–30 minutes each. Since I’m home throughout the day, your pup will have lots of company, attention, playtime, and cuddles. I’ll also make sure they get plenty of rest and feel comfortable throughout their stay. I’ve made my apartment a cosy, dog-friendly little home, with plenty of toys, soft blankets, and comfortable spots for dogs to play and relax. I also have a fenced balcony where pups can enjoy some fresh air and supervised playtime. My friendly Westie, Jerry, loves meeting other dogs and would be happy to have a new playmate! Of course, I’ll always make sure introductions are gentle and supervised, and that every dog has their own space when needed. Your dog’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I’ll follow their usual routines as closely as possible and send you regular photos and updates, so you can relax knowing your little one is in good hands.

“Isabella and Thiago have bern nothing but stellar hosts for our dog Benji. He stayed with them for 1 week and he's had the best time, filled with gorgeous coastal hikes, enough playtime and activities. I'd highly recommend both of them to anyone!”

About: Hi! I’m a cheerful and loving person who truly adores animals. Back in Brazil, I lived with my mom who has 8 dogs, and they were a big part of my daily life. I helped take care of them, went on walks, played, fed them, and made sure they were happy and healthy. I also took care of my sister’s dogs for three months while she was traveling — it was a full-time responsibility and I absolutely loved it!
I live in a two-bedroom apartment near parks where I can take the dog for a walk.
Being around animals brings me so much joy. I believe they deserve not just care, but real love and attention. That’s why I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m responsible, patient, and very affectionate. Whether it’s for playtime, walks, or just keeping them company, I’m here to help!
I’m happy to welcome vaccinated pets into my home, and I always make sure they feel safe and comfortable with me. I’d love to meet your furry friend soon! I work full-time as a scheduler, sometimes I can work from home, but at the weekends I would love to have a dog with me and give him loads of love 🥰 I live in a two-bedroom apartment, there is a protected balcony. There is a few parks near my house, and I love to visit parks during the weekend
