Jenny

My name is Jenny and my best friend/housemate is Brid. We are both active and 52 years old. Our lives are happily-centered around our dogs Henry Rufus and Tia.

I am lucky to have a career from home as an artist who also specialises in animal art, pet portraits, and book illustrations. 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. Brid is from Dublin.

Brid has extensive experience working with clients and their service dogs, walking, training, housesitting, and with a background in nursing.

We recognise the needs of every dog is different. Your dog's happiness, health, safety and comfort is our foremost priority. We ask that your dogs are fully vaccinated, neutered (after 9 months), and don't have any aggression problems that we would be unaware of.

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 front and 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 out home. We are very familiar with adhering to special dietary and medication needs. We are both experienced to give injections (typically insulin) and oral medications.

I never take in more than one dog for overnight boarding because we know how important individual attention is, especially when they're away from their most familiar surroundings.

We live in Monkstown, Blackrock area of Dublin and it's just a few streets away from the beach and sea.

There is a large and fenced grassy community play area where the dogs are free and safe to run right behind our home. The neighbourhood is very dog friendly for walks.

We know all too well how difficult it can be to leave your dog for any period of time. We will check in with you daily with updates and photos.  

We are the first people 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 favounité animals while being able to stay home with ours. I chose to go through Pawshake because of the all encompassing great scheduling app, messaging system, payment system, client support, cancellation policies, and added protection of extra pet insurance.

Please don't hesitate to contact us for any additional questions. We will respond quickly.

We look forward to hearing from you!

Kindly,

Jenny
