About Paula

Hi

I'm Paula and we offer a home from home holiday for your family dog.

There are four humans in our family and two dogs., Bradley, a 10 year old collie cross, and George, approx 9 year old lurcher (both neutered). Both dogs are rescue dogs. Bradley was locked in a shed for the first 5 months of his life but has grown into the most clever and gentle boy. George was abused terribly and abandoned. He is fantastic will all dogs but is still very nervous meeting new people, so he may bark when he meets you....he's a real softie underneath it all.

Our home has a good size secure back garden and is in a quiet location in the heart of Ratoath village. While in our care our home is your dogs home - there will be no locked away in pens and they will have plenty of interaction with us and our dogs. There will be walks too and a special treat is to visit the nearby Balrath woods. Another favourite walk, weather permitting, is round the beautiful Hill of Tara. Let us know your dog's needs and we will make sure your dog enjoys their holidays just as much as you!

Finally we will keep you informed with daily updates with plenty of photos and videos.

Would definitely book again. The video updates really helped to put my mind at ease and know that my dog was being looked after really well. Thanks again

We couldn't have chosen a more perfect place for Bonnie to stay when we were away. Paula provided a home away from home for Bonnie, from start to finish the whole experience with Paula was so positive. It was our first time leaving Bonnie and Paula kept our minds at ease with plenty of videos, photos, and messages throughout her stay. Bonnie found a great friend in Paula's dog Murray, I'm sure he was exhausted after her stay with all the playing. Bonnie is staying with Paula again in June, and we are happy to send her again.

I have been fostering dogs for 7 years now. I began by providing holiday cover for Irish Guide Dogs for the Blind, and then got into transport and foster of rescued and abandoned dogs. Bradley was rescued as a 4 month old puppy, having been locked in a shed his entire life. George was terribly neglected and abused - so I am used to dealing with nervous and shy dogs. Most recently Bradley and I have completed training to become reading assistance dogs with the Burns by Your Side Scheme. I completed an Internship with the DSPCA King of Paws training academy which broadened my training and dog behaviour knowledge and have completed an introductory TTouch seminar. I also have completed a Canine First Responder course. I always recommend you call and chat and get a feel for what we have to offer. While you are away we can keep you updated as often as you want with photos and video clips showing how your dog is getting on.
