We had such a wonderful experience with these pet sitters! They took amazing care of our dog and kept us updated a few times a day, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Our dog was clearly very happy and well cared for when we came back. They are truly amazing, caring, and responsible pet sitters, and we would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pets. Thank you so much for the wonderful care!😍

I simply cannot praise Djenifer enough for the phenomenal experience we had, as she was able to accept the booking at very late notice which was truly a holiday saving situation for us when our previous plans suddenly fell through right before we were supposed to depart. Finding reliable pet care at the eleventh hour is usually a stressful and daunting endeavor, but Djenifer handled our urgent request with absolute professionalism, grace, and a welcoming attitude that immediately put our anxious minds at ease. Throughout the entire duration of our trip, I received updates daily of him playing, out walking, socialising with other dogs, which gave us immense peace of mind while we were miles away trying to enjoy our time off. These daily logs, complete with charming anecdotes and wonderful observations about his behavior, allowed me to relax as i knew Simba was in safe, dog loving hands where he was treated not just as a temporary boarder, but as a cherished member of her own household. When the time finally came to return home and end our trip, he was full of life when i went to collect him, exhibiting a bright, cheerful, and energetic demeanor that clearly demonstrated he had been exceptionally well-cared for, thoroughly exercised, and emotionally stimulated throughout his stay. Adding to the incredible convenience of her outstanding service, Djenifers location is about as central in Dublin as its possible to be, making drop-off and pick-up completely seamless regardless of how heavy city traffic might be or how tight our travel schedule happened to be. Id highly recommend her to any pet owner seeking top-tier, compassionate, and dependable canine care in the heart of the city, and will certainly be hoping shes available for Simbas next staycation whenever we need to travel again without our furry best friend by our side.

Your dog boarding questions answered

With home dog boarding, your dog stays overnight at a sitter’s home. Instead of being in a crowded dog kennel or dog hotel, your dog can be in a comfortable home and receive the same quality level of love and care you would provide.

Your dog will be staying at the sitter's home. Be sure to discuss any requirements with your sitter prior to booking. The more your sitter knows about your pet, the better! That way they can really ensure that your pet has the best and most comfortable stay.

Pawshake only accepts sitters who have experience and/or qualifications caring for pets. You will get to search, choose and have a free meet and greet with your sitter prior to making a booking.

Visit the sitter's profile and read about their background, home and experience.Then request a free meet and greet. If you are happy with the sitter’s dog boarding environment and how well they bond with your dog, confirm your booking on Pawshake.
