“We're absolutely delighted with Emmet. Our dog Eco was so chilled and relaxed and obviously happy with his sleepover. I would highly recommend Emmet and his lovely family. Thank you.”

“Doireann was absolutely amazing! I had to be away for three weeks and this was the first time I’ve left Biggie with anyone besides family. She took care of him as if he were her own! Thanks, Doireann!!”

“I left my two dogs with Bridget for 2 nights and came back to two incredibly happy and well looked after dogs. They were treated like family with a place on the couch and a pup cup reward after their walks. Service like that is invaluable and hard to find. Would 100% recommend Bridget and will be booking my 2 in again for their next holiday. Thanks so much Bridget.”

About: **Female dog boarding only at present** I have looked after my own animals and family/friend's too, for over 25 years. I have been around horses, cats, dogs (and more!) from a young age. I currently have one dog at home and I know how important it is to know your furry friend is looked after while you're away/working. My dog Cú loves the company of other dogs and I have some regular lodgers who are his good friends 🥰 I can accommodate for crates, dog beds etc and I am more than happy to give cuddles and treats and accommodate any dietary needs. I work from home most days so I will be with your pet all of the time. My own dog takes up his post in his beside in my office beside me and there is always space for more puppers there 😊 I have a fenced garden and plenty of nice spots for lead walks close to home. I live the in countryside and have an open field for running about if needed too. I never leave my own dog unsupervised with others, for his own safety and that of others. He is lovely and friendly but I always err on the side of caution working with all animals! 🙏
“We were very very happy with the care and attention given to us and our dog by Gerard. So lucky that he was free to have Lola on the dates we needed. Lola was treated very well and was blissfully happy. Christine Rutledge”

“I can’t recommend Sally highly enough. Rosie was so well looked after in a family environment in a beautiful setting. Sally gave regular updates and sent pics of their walks. If truth be told, Rosie had such a good time, I think she was a little down when it came to coming home. She will definitely be back ☺️”

“My golden lab Luna had the best time with Ella and her partner and their dogs Kona and Casey. They took her on walks and adventures. They gave her a bath and loads of treats. In the evening, Luna was even watching TV with them on the couch 😂❤️ Luna was absolutely spoilt and had the best time.”

“We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our Bernese Mountain Dog pup! Daria took such wonderful care of her – making sure she was well-fed, walked, and even teaching her new tricks. She regularly sent us updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind, and our pup always looked so happy and relaxed. She went above and beyond in every way: helping our puppy socialize with other dogs, brushing and bathing her before our return, and even clipping her nails when she noticed they were getting long. During the heat, she was so thoughtful and caring – providing a cooling mat and refreshing ice water to keep her comfortable. It was clear from the start that our pup felt completely at home with her, and we are so grateful for the love and attention she provided. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a truly caring, reliable, and attentive dog sitter!”
“Paula offers a wonderful home from home dog sitting experience - I've been hesitant in the past to leave my rescue dog with anyone but this has now changed, thanks to Paula and her lovely family! ”

Astor spent two nights with Airis. She is very kind and caring and he was extremely comfortable in her home. She sent is photos and videos too which were reassuring as this was our first time to leave him with a dog minder. We absolutely can reccomend Airis and know where to go whenever we're back in Waterford again. Thanks Airis

Emmet does an exceptional service for pet owners. Our experience has been fantastic! Our dog Julian came home happy and well-cared-for, showing how much love and attention he received. Emmet is professional, punctual, and truly engaging with pets, providing updates and photos during their visits. I highly recommend Emmet for anyone seeking peace of mind while away from their furry friends! 10/10
