Helena and Jorn are just fantastic - couldn't imagine leaving my dog Pepper with nicer people. They communicated regularly with me while I was away, sending lots of photos which was a great comfort. They are such a warm couple and you can tell they truly have a love of dogs which is all you can ask for really.

Helena and Jorn are fantastic. This was our first time going away without our Jack Russell and we really didn't know what to expect. We were nervous our dog would be uneasy and may have a hard time adjusting. I also had the pressure of my children feeling sad about him feeling abandoned. WELL...our dog came home happier than he's ever been. Helena and Jorn sent daily updates with pictures of him playing with other dogs, out on a trip to Wicklow, walking, sleeping - it was cool, especially for my children who turned from being sad to happy for him. Helena and Jorn were so patient with me and my questions, and they were incredibly accommodating with anything I needed help with. I cannot recommend them and their service enough. Thanks guys

We were delighted with Helena’s service. She went the extra mile in taking care of our cat and sent us plenty of photos and videos so we knew he was well looked after. She is also so kind, friendly and pleasant to deal with. We will definitely book Helena again!

Safety, trust & environment

We have a large apartment with an outdoor courtyard that's completely walled off and safe. We're also fortunate to have lots of lovely nearby spots for walkies, including public parks and the seaside! We're so fortunate that our neighborhood is very dog friendly, with lots of local doggies that we meet regularly on our walkies and two dog friendly cafés across the street. So the dogs that stay with us have a great social life! Our policy is to keep dogs on their leash at all times outside of the home regardless of their recall abilities, so you have the peace of mind that your fur baby is safe at all times.

A typical day

I live in Monkstown with my husband, daughter and fur baby Muffin. My whole family absolutely adore dogs and cats. Our four year old jug (jack russell/pug) Muffin loves to have other dogs to play with, so your dog won't be lonely! We have a large apartment with an outdoor courtyard that's completely walled off and safe. Having used Gudog and Rover as owners ourselves, we know how important it is to receive pictures and updates. We'll keep you up to date each day, so you know that your dog is safe and happy. We're very fortunate to have several parks and the seaside just 3 minutes stroll away, so your dog will get lots of walkies and fresh air. When booking, let me know about your dog's personality, where they like to sleep, eating habits and everything in between, and I'll do my utmost to make them feel right at home. We ask that your dog be fully toilet trained and comfortable with children and other dogs.
