Isla can host
Availability
We currently both work from home, Michael is fully remote and Isla works hybrid from home 3 days a week, which means there's always someone home and we can offer great availability! We both have quiet home offices on the 3rd floor of our home, though we do bring the laptops down to the living room for pets that aren't allowed or aren't great with stairs.

Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
We have a small closed back yard for toilet breaks and are walking distance from the Ormeau Park for a bit more exercise. While we are located off a main road we are also close to quiet residential areas for dogs that don't love other animals. We have experience sitting nervous dogs in my home and Isla has given medication to dogs that need it. Our home is very easily accessible by car and bus. By car we are: - 10 minutes from George Best City Airport - 14 minutes from Belfast Docks (Stena Line) - 28 minutes from Belfast International Airport - 6 minutes from the M3 junction at Titanic Quarter We do have a small step to access our home

Information Isla W. would like to know about your pet
We like to know where your pet usually sleeps at night, what they're like on walks (especially when they see other dogs, or the dreaded cats!), and how often/how much they get fed. It's also necessary to be told if they need any medication before we accept a booking! If you think it's important, please let us know of their temperament for example if they're nervous or very boisterous. This is all great to know so we can make sure we're a good match for your pet and can give them what they need! We can make almost anything work!
A typical day
When we're both working the dogs get run of the house! They can sit with whoever they want to, get regular toilet breaks and we play with them on demand. In the evenings we tend to eat our dinner, take them for a walk (usually 45 mins to an hour) and then feed them when we get home. There's plenty of time in the day for mental stimulation too and we're always happy to feed dogs with slow bowls, snuffle mats and lick mats to keep their brains engaged! On the weekend we can take the dogs for slightly longer walks and give them our undivided attention, if you have any special requests let us know!

Isla and Michael, animal lovers in pet free home!
Pet care experience
We have lots of experience walking, visiting and feeding pets as well as caring for them overnight in our own home for friends, family and neighbours, and of course our lovely Rover owners! We have been sitting through Rover since January 2023 and have had dozens of lovely pets stay with us of different ages, temperaments, energy levels and regimes. Of course we are LGBTQIA+ friendly.
Reviews
Isla and Michael were fantastic! You can tell they really love caring for dogs and they went above and beyond with DD our 11 yr old French bulldog. They made sure she was well looked after, played with her constantly and took her on regular walks. We are delighted to have found someone we trust with our four-legged friend and will be using them again without hesitation.
Isla W. cancelled a booking 4 days before it was scheduled to begin.
We were away for 3 weeks on holidays and wouldn’t have left our shihtzu Harley with anybody else. She was well cared for and we were kept updated with messages and photos for peace of mind. We have left Harley with Isla on numerous occasions and will continue to do so as she is spoilt rotten and loves her time away ☺️
Absolutely fabulous. Fudge loved staying there and the photos and updates were much appreciated. Isla and Michael are wonderful hosts.
