I offer a home from home chilled out environment
Not too keen on kennels? I offer a home from home environment in Callan, Co.Kilkenny, for your beloved dog to relax in the comfort of my home. I live in a detached house 15 minutes outside Kilkenny City with Oscar who’s a 16yr old Coton de Tulear. A few years ago we looked after a neighbours dog, my dogs enjoyed the company so we decided to make it a regular occurrence so here we are!! I work from home (Mon-Fri) so my mornings and evenings are free, I've decided to only offer dog boarding as that's what suits us best. It's nice to offer a home away from home to dog owners who’d like their loved one in a homely environment.

Ratings and reviews
Bridget looked after our cavapoo Alfie last week while we were away and we couldn’t be happier with her service. Alfie is quite a pampered pooch and needs plenty of tlc and he got that from Bridget. She even made the effort to teach him a few manners when dealing with other dogs which he wouldn’t be used to! We got plenty of photos to show us how he was getting on and he was returned to us as a happy dog! Thank you Bridget, we would highly recommend you as a dog minder!
Bridget had my dog teddy for some nights. When my plans unexpectedly changed i had to rebook with Bridget and it was seamless. Bridget is exceptionally good at her job. Teddy really enjoyed his stay. I look forward to booking again. I would highly recommend.
I left my yorkie Joey with Bridget for the first time in June, as he's an indoor dog who doesn't do very well in kennels. He had a great time and was in really good form when I collected him. He had daily walks, lots of company and was minded very well. Would definitely recommend and will definitely use again. Perfect for small dogs who are used to being inside and lots of attention.
Our 2 French bulldogs had the best holiday with Bridget. Bridget was fantastic to keep us updated with their antics and lots of photos. This was our second experience and we will definitely be asking Bridget to spoil out two dogs again in the near future.
We left our dog with Bridget for a week while on holidays. Ralph was well looked after and brought for walks everyday. A home away from home for him. We would highly recommend Bridget to mind your dog. We look forward to booking Ralph in again soon. This is a great service for people looking for their dog to be minded while away.
My two French bulldogs had a great stay with Bridget and came home very happy .Bridget kept us updated and sent some lovely photos of what they were up to while we were away. We had already rebooked with Bridget for our next trip away.

Schedule
I work from home (Mon-Fri) so my mornings and evenings are free so I've decided to only offer dog boarding. I get up about 7/8am, dogs are fed and then go for a 1hr+ walk around the Castle park. Upon returning home, they get a treat and settle into the office or a cosy spot around the house for the afternoon. The garden doors are open to come and go as they please. Quick evening walk around 6/7pm and generally lights out by 10/11pm. Guests have full access downstairs and to the living room in the evening to relax beside the fire for a more comforting environment. I find dogs settle in quickly when they initially arrive, Oscar is extremely laid back. It makes for a calm and peaceful experience especially if this is their first time away from home.

Your dog will be in a homely environment, treated as part of our family whilst you're secure in the knowledge that your dog is being taken care of! I send daily updates of photos and videos for the duration of your beloved companions stay.
