Loving, Experienced Dog Sitters by St. Anne’s Park

Hello! We’re a dog-loving household in Raheny, just steps from St. Anne’s Park, and we’d be delighted to welcome your four-legged family member into our home. Dogs have been part of our lives for over a decade. We’ve cared for our own pups—currently Alfie, our lively 1.5-year-old Vizsla, and Maya, our gentle rescue lurcher—as well as many foster dogs through local rescues. From playful puppies to dogs who needed patience and time to rebuild trust, we’ve seen it all and loved them all. Before Alfie and Maya, we shared our lives with Benji, a rescue Akita-Shepherd mix who will always have a place in our hearts. Life with us means plenty of fresh air and adventure. Whether it’s walks in St. Anne’s (our second home!), splashing at Bull Island beach, or hiking in Howth and Wicklow, your dog will join us on outings that match their energy and comfort level. At home, dogs are treated like family: they’re welcome on the sofa, the bed, or wherever they feel most comfortable. Since we both work from home most days, there’s always someone around to keep the dogs company, provide cuddles, and make sure everyone feels safe and settled. We know how important it is to have peace of mind when leaving your dog behind. We’d love to offer that sense of trust and care for you and your pet.

So grateful to Nadine and Raphael for looking after Winnie so well! She had a brilliant time and seemed to really enjoy hanging out with her pals Maya and Alfie. We got regular updates, which was very much appreciated. Nadine and Raphael are lovely and you can tell they enjoy looking after the dogs in their care. I wouldn't hesitate to book them again, or to recommend them.

Nadine and Raphael were a lovely pair of hosts and we felt like our doggy Cloud was right at home even while we were away. We appreciated the regular (and delightful) updates, without having to chase them up.

Nadine and Raphael were fantastic. Our dog had an amazing time. She was looked after so well. She was brought to the beach, cliff walks and spent plenty of time in the park. Our dog is very high energy and she was well matched with Enzo. We'd highly recommend and book again in a heartbeat ☺️ They kept us updated everyday which really helped ease our nerves while away. Thanks so much guys!
