My name is Jenny and my life is happily-centered around dogs. I've been with Pawshake in Dublin for many years and have recently moved. I am lucky to have a career from home as an artist specialising in book illustration, design, and editing.
***Please read further into my profile about our new location and minimum stays.
I spent many years involved in dog rescue and also volunteered at The Humane Society in Seattle for 8 years.
I'm from Ireland originally, but spent most of my years in Seattle. I am committed to providing a loving environment for all doggies. I know all too well how difficult it can be to leave your dog for any period of time. I will check in with you with updates and photos.
We are the first our friends and families entrust to watch their dogs when on holidays, or away for business. As a working artist, it's also the perfect way to supplement my income by caring for my/your fur babies while being able to stay home with mine. I don't take in a lot of dogs for overnight boarding because we know how important individual attention is, especially when they're away from their most familiar surroundings.
We recently moved to a rural property 1.5 hours north of Dublin. We can provide transportation to and from your home in a fully insured vehicle with doggie seatbelts. There is a charge for pickup and drop off to partially cover petrol and tolls. I usually ask for a 5 day booking minimum, but sometimes can accommodate shorter stays. Thankfully we've been able to continue to care for our Dublin clients, and we would like to continue. Many happy Dublin client references to share!
There is a large and fenced grassy community play area where the dogs are free and safe to run right behind our home. We have our own private parklands adjoining our property.
Your dog will never be left alone. If we are on an individual walk with another dog, someone entrusted will always be with your dog. We have a great fully enclosed private back gardens with key code entry only. There is a covered area and we keep the outside potty areas clean and sanitised. There's plenty of cosy areas to snuggle up in our home. I am very familiar with adhering to special dietary and medication needs. I am experienced to give injections (typically insulin) and oral medications.
I recognise the needs of every dog is different. Your dog's happiness, health, safety and comfort is my foremost priority. We ask that your dogs are fully vaccinated, NEUTERED, and don't have any aggression problems that we would be unaware of. If you have a puppy, potty-trained is essential, please!
Please don't hesitate to contact me for any additional questions. I will respond quickly and look forward to hearing from you!
