Pet care experience
When I was able to work from home with my own dog in 2020, I discovered how passionately I feel about giving dogs the enrichment and mental stimulation they deserve. Now I love to provide opportunities for my dog to engage with her senses and let off some steam- sniff walks, good chew toys, foraging games, and more! I would love to do the same for your dog during the time they are with me.
Reviews
Bronagh was great! Super flexible with our very opinionated hound.
Bronagh walked our two dogs for the first time this week & we couldn’t be more pleased. Communication was smooth from start to finish , she followed all instructions clearly, the pups seemed happy in all photos Bronagh sent. We look forward to booking with Bronagh again more frequently in the future!
Bronagh was AMAZING!!! I put my pup in doggy daycare with her for four days in a row and it was the best decision and super helpful! She is super attentive to my pup and my pup LOVES her pup and going there - he literally begins to wag like crazy the moment he realizes he is on her block. She helped with some crate training and would send me pic updates which helped while I was working! She took him to the field to run around with her pup and trails in the park. Communication was super easy with her! HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend! I plan on sending him back at least once a week for that continued socialization and time away. Book her!
Bronagh is such a great dog walker and is always the best with my golden Ollie! She has responded to my requests last minute and is very dependable. Highly recommend hiring her, your pet will be very happy to have her as a friend.

I have one friendly dog, but if I have availability I am also able to house her elsewhere and block off daycare / boarding so your dog is the only one in the home if that would be more comfortable. My backyard is fenced in, and I can take your dogs on walks in the woods near me. After walking in the woods I always do a thorough tick check. In the house, I am able to crate your dog if you would prefer, or give them space to roam during their stay with me. When I have multiple dogs in the home for daycare or boarding and I need to leave, I always crate the dogs so that there is no unsupervised play where accidents might happen. If your dog barks in the crate- do not be deterred. I am willing to take dogs that bark while crated as I am never gone more than 2 hours, and oftentimes being crated next to other dogs who are quiet can help your dog to settle. In case of an emergency I am willing and able to take your dog to their vet or an emergency vet, and will stay in contact with you the whole time.

Information Bronagh J. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know anything you’re working on with your dog so I can help to reinforce the training you’re doing and make it consistent. If you’re working on pulling on the leash, crate training, etc, I’d love to make a plan with you about how to keep this up during your dogs time with me!
A typical day
During daycare and boardings, I will typically let the dogs have backyard potty time straight away around 7, and then get meals set up if they’re eating with me. After a couple hours indoors with backyard playtimes at the dogs request, I will take the dogs to the fenced in baseball field near me where they can run off leash, or to the woodland trails right behind it. We will spend an hour running in the field or walking through the woods. After we get home the dogs will typically drink some water and lay down to nap. Any puppies staying with me who get a lunch will get lunch at this time. If I have an afternoon walk to get to, I will have the dogs nap in their crates while I am out. When I return, the dogs will be let out into the backyard for another potty/playtime break. If any dogs are sitting at my feet or near the door instead of engaging in play I will take them inside and watch the other dogs play from the window. The dogs typically nap on the couch or rug after this, and again I will allow dogs out to the backyard at request (sitting near the door, whining, ringing the bell on the door). I may then have daycare dogs to drop off, and when I return I will feed dinner to any dogs staying with me. Any dogs staying overnight will have a walk around the block for their last sniffs and potty of the night at 10pm.

Availability
I’ve just transitioned to working with dogs full time so I have plenty of time to spend with your pup! I have a fenced in backyard space to play in, and live close to the woods where I can take your dog walking for plenty of good sniffs.
