Always good to let me know if your dog has any special quirks or if you want to keep their routine the same or as close as possible so I can try to keep it the same as home.

A typical day

Hi! I’m Niamh. I’ve grown up surrounded by both dogs and cats, and caring for them has always been a joyful part of my life. I know how much our pets mean to us, and I’d love the opportunity to provide your furry friend with the love, attention, and care they deserve while you’re away. Whether it's playtime, walks, or just some cozy company, your pet will be in safe and happy hands with me!

It's fully enclosed, so your pup can enjoy some safe outdoor time while staying with me.

We were away for a few days and Niamh looked after Bruno very well with great communication and updates. Was great to know that Bruno was being spoilt with attention while we were away. Would highly recommend.Thanks again Niamh.

Highly recommend Niamh and Bruno! So lovely and accommodating and I’ll definitely be asking them to mind Jack again.

Cooper had a great time with Niamh. She kept us updated with pics and short messages about how he was settling in, and provided him with enough cuddles while we were away.

Niamh was great with our dog, Bruno. The communciation was excellent and she shared photos so we knew they were having a great time. She also went the extra mile as Bruno was feeling unwell at the time and Niamh looked after him excellently and cleaned up after he had made a mess. Would highly recommend.
