Hello, Paul & Michelle here. As a way of introduction, allow me to share a story with you:
Three Years Ago - Late one Tuesday night, our Dog, Daphne, went into labour. By 1am early the next day her breathing intensified, contractions were underway. We stayed by her side, rubbing and encouraging her — she was about to give life. Soon after her first born arrived, stillborn, or so we thought. Michelle picked up the lifeless being and rubbed her vigorously until she whimpered — She was alive!
Daphne was a tough little cookie, a Trojan!
Six more pups followed, one by one. By 8am it was over—seven new lives entered the world—all female—not a single male in the litter. May be some type of record.
The Litter - Now let me introduce you:
Wait, there’s more .. The litter was too big for tiny-Daphne to feed so all seven hungry souls were hand-fed every 3 hours from 3 weeks old, until they could eat alone. In the months that followed we secured forever homes for 5 puppies and kept 2 - Bertie & Chloe.
More About Us - Michelle & I have both grown up with Dogs, Cats and Horses our entire lives so love ‘em all, big and small. We have vast experience with all sorts of animals, from German Shepherds to Chihuahuas, even Ponies and Horses. We’re part of a great community of dog owners, extending across our family and friends, which means that all our events and gatherings involve 6-8 or more furry-folk for fantastic-friendly-frolics!
Our Pack - Last year we moved to a new home in Kildare on several acres of land, along with our pack – Daphne, Bertie and Chloe. Also, a few months ago we brought Paddy the Cob (Horse) into the fold.
We live beside the 5,000-acre Curragh Plains. Our own private gardens extend several acres right outside our front door (pictures available), so plenty of off-leash fun time to be had here. We work from home too, so adult supervision is on demand 24-7.
Your dog - will never be left alone and will enjoy 4-8 hours a day outdoors to suit their energy levels. Our pack sleeps in their own beds in our bedroom with plenty of room for more! We also have a large-crate for visiting dogs who prefer to sleep alone.

We left our dog Indie with Paul and Michelle over the June bank holiday weekend while we celebrated our wedding in Naas. Paul kindly brought our dog to the hotel for the ceremony and collected her afterwards. This was an important part of the day and from the onset Paul was willing to help us and was brilliant on the day. Indie loved her time there and Paul provided updates throughout the weekend. Brilliant facilities for dogs.
Honestly, sometimes I leave my precious pup here even when my housemate is able to take care of him. Because he loves it there so much and from what I can tell the fondness is mutual.
My only concern, is if Elijah may want to stay an extra day when I come to pick him up 🤣
All in all, delighted my dog gets to enjoy a fun holiday while I go away on one as well.
