Mags and Kevin took such wonderful care of Bowie. He was living and loving his best fluffy life while in their care. Days filled with walks in the park and beach and fun playing with Millie and the dog gang. Thank you to taking such good care of Bowie.

Charlie had the most wonderful stay with Margaret and Kevin. He was taken to St Anne's and Dollymount beach every day, he adored their wonderful garden. It was definitely home from home. Thank you so much.

Margaret, Kevin and Rory took such good care of Mel. They sent daily updates/photos/videos from her having a great time at their backyard and long naps on the sofa :) Mel came home relaxed and I felt she really missed them. We would definitely book another stay with them!! Lovely family

Rory and his family provided great care and lots of fun and love to Loafy while he stayed with them for over 2 weeks. Margaret generously shared lots of tips about training dogs with us and it was very helpful. Loafy had a great time with their doggie, Millie, and he still misses his friend. (And all the company he had in the last 2 weeks!) This was our first time to be away from Loafy but we can see he was really happy from the photos and videos sent daily. We were so glad to meet Rory and his family and would not trust anyone else but them to mind Loafy in the future. 😊
