I live in a detached house 10 minutes outside Kilkenny City with my two Coton de Tulear dogs Lily and Oscar who are aged 10!and 15yrs old! Last year we looked after a neighbours dog, my dogs enjoyed the company, we decided to make it a regular occurrence so here we are!! I work from home (Mon-Fri) so my mornings and evenings are free, I've decided to only offer dog boarding as that's what suits us best. It's nice to offer a home away from home to dog owners who’d like their loved one in a homely environment. Your dog will be in a homely environment, treated as part of our family whilst you're secure in the knowledge that your dog is being taken care of!
We get up about 7/8am, dogs are fed and we then go for a 1hr+ walk around the Castle park. Upon returning home, they get a treat and settle into the office or a cosy spot around the house for the afternoon. The garden doors are open to come and go as they please. Quick evening walk around 6/7pm and generally lights out by 10/11pm.
Guests have full access downstairs and to the living room in the evening to relax beside the fire for a more comforting environment. I find dogs settle in quickly when they initially arrive, Lily and Oscar are very laid back. It makes for a calm and peaceful experience especially if this is their first time away from home.
Full refund if canceled before 12:00 p.m. 7 days before the booking, 50% refund afterward.
No refund is payable if the booking is canceled on or after the start date.
Note: All times are based on the sitter’s time zone
Bridget took great care of our dog & was so good to deal with. We would recommend her highly !
Bridget took great care of our little dog Mick. He's a nervous guy but he fit right in with Bridget and her two dogs. It was evident that she took great care to help him settle in and looked after him really well. Recommended!
