Sandra

 Hello Amazing Pet owners!  

My name is Sandra, and my husband is Martin. We are passionate lovers of dogs and other animals.

I have a lifetime experience working with animals, I grew up on a large farm. We always had a lot of lovely living creatures to take care of, such as horses, cows, pigs, dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, chickens, parrots etc.

I live in North Dublin Baldoyle, just a short walk from the beach and surrounding parks. Also is very close to the Dublin Airport, approximately 20 min. drive. We live in a big house, just the two of us. It is always warm and cosy at our place. There is a large kitchen and living area with a fully fenced rear garden. There is plenty of space to play, feel free and comfortable. Your dog/s are welcome to sleep on the couch in the living room or in their bed if they wish so.

Recently we lost our dear family member, our doggie John a joyful Jack Russell terrier. He was 11 years old and unfortunately suffered several illnesses and had special medicine and dietary requirements (which makes me very confident in taking dogs who need that extra love & special care). I think you can agree with me, when I say, life is empty with our warm & furry friends. They are who brighten people's lives. That's why We have decided to take care of other people's pets. Because we know how hard it is to get your loved one minded by someone you can trust.

I work from home so I’m very flexible and I’ll be always around monitoring your pet/pets (24/7 basically), and we will treat them like part of the family with lots of love and care.  

1. Usually, I only accept guests from one or two households at a time. So only 2 dogs from separate families. More than two pets only from the same household. To provide them with proper attention and they feel happy and comfortable.

2. All guest dogs must be fully vaccinated including for kennel cough and have up to date worm and flea treatments.

3. Dogs, cats are fully house & toilet trained.

4. Male dogs older than 1 year are neutered. (Exception for those who are from the same family and there are no others booked in).

5. Any behavioural issues need to be addressed and discussed prior to booking. Within reason I can facilitate some. Dog showing aggression will be brought back to their emergency contacts immediately. Same applies with excessive barking and separation anxiety. Your dog should be friendly with other dogs and people and be obedient on walks.

6. Please ensure you provide enough food, medication, lead, bedding, favorite toys and any other requirements your pet might have.

I look forward to welcoming your loved ones to my home.

There is nothing more important to us than seeing your pet happy & relaxed after reuniting with you. And it is even more rewarding to see them coming back to us with ease & excitement and feeling like they are at home away from home.

Your pet deserves the best care!
