Hi I'm Kim!! I am from Dublin and I am absolutely dog crazy! I have been around all kinds of dogs since I was a young child and I can safely say I think I like them better than humans!!! I live with my partner Chris in Raheny. We both love animals especially dogs, we do not have a dog of our own just yet but when the time is right I am sure there will be multiple additions to the family!
I have experience with all kinds of terriers from the beautiful wheaten terrier to the precious Yorkie! I adore Lurchers and Greyhounds as my parents have two and I am always called on to pet sit for them. I have had the pleasure of taking care of a Newfoundland, Bichon Frise, Standard Poodle, all kinds of minature dogs and of course an array of bull breeds.( I had a beautiful English bull terrier). Basically I love them all no matter what shape or size.
If your dog is a rescue and a little nervous this is not a problem as I have experience with many rescue dogs and I understand their specific needs. Rest assured your fur baby is in excellent hands with me. I offer overnight pet sitting in my home. I can also take dogs during the week except for Tuesdays.
My house and garden are very spacious and St Annes park and Dollymount beach are right on my doorstep for beautiful walks. Please do not hesitate to contact me should you want more information I would be delighted to help you out in any way I can.
At no stage will your dog be left outside unattended.
I will walk them atleast three times per day. In the morning, afternoon and just before bedtime.
My home is warm and cosy and I am happy to have the doggies sleep in their beds wherever they are most comfortable.
Fresh cold water always available and I am very happy to follow your usual feeding routine.
I have lots of space in the freezer should you require pre-made meals to be kept frozen.
I would be more than happy to keep you updated with images and videos of your precious ones throughout their stay (I understand how important it is to know that they are being well cared for and enjoying their holidays) thus allowing you to relax and enjoy yours.
I have experience with deaf and blind dogs also. My english bull terrier was deaf from birth and we adapted hand signals throughout his life to communicate with him.
I also had a blind wheaten terrier and with extra care and attention he lived a very happy life with understanding and caring humans.

Kim was absolutely amazing . We had never left lenny before and she was brilliant . She sent pics every day and updates too which really put my mind to rest . I would reccomend her to anyone , and Lenny loved her too I could see this when I went to collect him .
Kim was the perfect host. My nervous, shy Greyhound has come home glowing with tlc. My bouncy, playfull Saluki is her typical happy self. My dogs had an amazing holiday and I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Kim to family and friends.
