Ultimate dog paradise in a pet free home

Is your pooch the most precious member in your household? Introducing the super sitter who will care for your doggie! Bookings from one owner only. We do not accept large dogs. Check out how many repeat visitors we have to see how much we are trusted. Our home is pet free so your indoor pet will be centre of attention during their stay. No competition with any resident pets or multiple bookings make this stay unique and gives your dog lots of attention with our family. We love sharing your precious pet on a short term basis. We live in a detached house in a large secure site, in a rural location. We absolutely love dogs. I am very experienced in the care of dogs having cared for dogs and puppies. Each dog who stays gets a little part of our heart. We love to walk locally and in Renville and would be delighted to bring your dog on outings. Please bring your dog's bedding, lead, harness and favourite food to settle into our home. We like to have a quick visit before the stay so your pooch knows the smells and home layout. This helps them settle when they arrive for their stay. We also can discuss what likes and dislikes your pet has. As we cannot have a dog ourselves (due to work/ travel commitments) we find minding dogs allows us to make the most of our off time to spend it with the most lovely, loyal and fun animals. Thank you for choosing us! We provide videos and photos to let you know what adventures your pet gets up to!! Please note Rover charges per night. If you are collecting your pooch after 12pm please book another day for insurance cover. Garda vetted.

Ruth is the most kind, and treats our pup like a princess! We are so grateful for her and her services.

Ruth was absolutely amazing with our puppy. From the moment we met her, she was so kind, warm, and clearly very experienced. She was incredibly accommodating when we needed to adjust timings, which we really appreciated. Throughout the stay, she sent regular updates, photos, and videos, which made such a difference and showed how well he was being cared for. Our puppy was so happy and content with her — it’s obvious she genuinely cares and goes above and beyond. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Ruth and will definitely be booking with her again.

I recently had the pleasure of having Ruth look after my dog Ally while I was on holiday's. I can’t say enough about how fantastic Ruth was in every way. I received regular updates and photos that showed just how happy and comfortable Ally was! Ruth showed Ally so much love and attention. I would recommend Ruth to anyone looking for a caring and responsible dog sitter. Ruth truly exceeded my expectations and I will definitely be reaching out to her in the future. Thanks so much for everything!
