About Ildiko

I think you agree with me: life is empty without our furry friends. They are four-legged fairies who brighten people's lives.

Your dog deserves the best care!

I know how hard it is to choose a pet sitter. You have to check every little thing: how will they take care of your pet, are they reliable, will your doggie enjoy this holiday?

🐾 Party time for your pet

While you are travelling, or going on a holiday, you can rest assured, because your pet will be in good hands. This time will be unforgettable: slumber party for your doggie! Fun and treats await him/her in my house!

🐾 The place: I undertake dog boarding, you can bring your dog to my place. I live in a pet-friendly, spacious apartment in Dun Laoghaire with my husband. This tidy town is close to Dublin, the DART station is near our house. There are lovely parks, quiet promenades and a seaside beach in walking distance. We have a terrace, soft rugs, blankets for doggies. You can bring his/her bed if you want.

🐾 My experiences: I have more than 30 years experience with dogs. Now I am studying Animal Health Care and Dog Grooming in Dun Laoghaire Further Education Institute.

I had several dogs of my own who meant the world to me. I got my first dog when I was 12 years old. Benjamin was a foxterrier, we grew up together. I taught him so many tricks, he was smart and strong. Brutus was my second dog, he was a foxterrier too. He was a beautiful, wire-haired dog, he had very much love in his great, innocent heart. Recently I lost my last doggie, Rocky. He was a yorkshire terrier, a big fighter soul in a tiny, fragile body. He was 15 years old, and he suffered several illnesses. He got medicines, special diet and he had moving difficulties some years ago. I learned how to make his life easier, what can I do for him to be happy and comfortable in his last years.

I also regularly looked after my friends' and parents' dogs. I have experience with a rescued dog who had separation anxiety.

🐾 Dog boarding guide: 

  • If you choose me, you will fill a detailed questionnaire. It helps me to know your dog's habits in advance. I ask you about important things, such as whether the doggie has food allergies, how often and for how long I should take him/her for walks, how the pet relates to other dogs, whether he/she takes any vitamins or medicines, where your pet likes to sleep and what the favorite toy is. 
  • I only host house-trained and toilet-trained dogs. 
  • I welcome male and female dogs too. 
  • I would like to care for small or medium dogs (under 20 kg). 
  • The age is not important, I can also take care of very old dogs, or dogs with chronical illnesses, I have experience. Benji was 16 when passed away, and Rocky was 15. In the last year of his life, Brutus struggled with lymphoma and was given a lot of medicines and a special nutritional supplements. 
  • I take care of one dog at a time. So you can know, I will only care about your dog!
  • I’m happy to host dogs as well who don't like children or are more shy than average. A quiet, loving atmosphere awaits them at my place. 
  • There will always be someone with your dog, because my husband works from home several days a week, and I am away sometimes for just 1-2 hours a day.

      Our doggy Remy was happy as always to stay with Ildiko and Norbert. He stayed several times with them and is really happy to see them each time. They are providing great care and always keep us updated, so that we are at ease. Thanks so much again for looking after him.

      Ildiko is brilliant and I would really recommend her services. Cooper stayed with Ildiko and Norbert for 19 nights. We had lots of updates of how he was getting on which put us both at ease. He always looked relaxed and happy 😊 and had a great holiday himself! I will definitely book again.
