Home Away From Home. I promise more than just pet care; I offer your beloved furry friend a genuine "home from home" experience. My cosy cottage is a warm and welcoming home where your dog becomes part of our extended family. You will receive photo and video updates of your doggy stay. Myself and my two daughters, Keelin (14) and Aoibheann (13) and a delightful array of animal companions ensure that your dog is treated with all the love, care, and attention they deserve. Here, your dog won't feel like a guest; they'll feel like one of the family.
I provide a secure and enjoyable environment where your dog can frolic, play, and explore to their heart's content. Your doggy can make new friends here, including our charming goat, Billy, our black sheep, Chris, two friendly pigs, Matilda and Madeline, our feline friend, George, and even our clucking companions, the chickens.
I understand that your dog is not just a pet but a cherished member of your family, and we're committed to giving them the best home-away-from-home experience possible. All dogs will sleep indoors unless they would prefer to sleep outside.
I have had dogs all my life, breeds from terriers, pugs to Labradors and Rottweilers. The majority of my pets have been rescued, so I have experienced many variations of temperaments and anxiety issues. All dogs need patience and understanding to ensure they feel safe and loved in their environment. I will always listen to your dogs needs and provide what they need to feel happy and safe.
My cosy cottage nestled in the picturesque Kilkenny countryside, just a mile outside the charming town of Castlecomer. I have a secure back garden leading into my cottage and also my converted garage that I call “The Doghouse”. In 'The Doghouse' the dogs have their couch, tv, radio. They also have a bedroom with crates and beanbags. A small kitchen where their food is prepared and food is stored in the fridge. Your dog gets to explore all areas and settle wherever they please. I also have a large meadow where we go for our walks a number of times a day.

It can be a bit scary leaving your dog with a complete stranger but I shouldn’t have worried. Cara and her house was the perfect place for our lab Coco. The ‘dog house’ had everything she needed for a comfortable stay. Lots of other animals to meet and play with including some goats, George the cat and Willow with a few of her puppies. Cara was great at staying in touch and sent on loads of pictures. Would highly recommend and will definitely use again when we’re in Kilkenny next. Thanks Cara!
