Hello 🙋‍♂️🙋‍♀️

We’re a dog-owning Irish couple in our 30s who love dogs and training them.

We’re new to Pawshake and so we’re offering our dog-sitting services for €25 a night for the first 5 bookings. We have 3 bookings left at this rate!

Here are the details:

🏡 Supervision: Always one of us at home, accommodating no more than two dogs at a time for focused care.

🐕 Training: Daily 15-minute sessions with clicker training and positive reinforcement. Specify any particular training needs.

🚶 Exercise: Includes a 45-minute daily walk, playtime, and off-leash activities.

🤗 Environment: Suited for friendly dogs of any size. Our guy is really soft and often bullied by dogs who are in any way aggressive. If your dog doesn't like big dogs, it's not a good fit. We ensure a pre-visit to confirm compatibility.

📸 Updates: Expect regular photo and video updates for peace of mind.

🚑 Safety: Located 5 minutes from the M50, near a vet and 20 minutes from UCD Pet Emergency Hospital. Emergency transport available.

🛏️ Accommodation: Dogs stay in our home. Bring their favourite items for comfort. Flexible drop-off from 8 am and pick-up by 11 am, with later times available on request.

🔄 Routine: We endeavour to maintain your dog’s usual routine.

🏠 Space: Our flat is spacious (93 sq.m) and quiet, with a spare room for downtime.

👋 Socialisation: Careful introductions with our dog in a neutral space.

🌿 Hazards: Our home is safeguarded against risks like chocolate, tobacco, alcohol, raisins, or dangerous items.

🍽️ Diet: We strictly follow any dietary restrictions and feeding schedules provided.

👂 Understanding: We are patient and adapt to the unique needs and personalities of our canine guests.

For enquiries or bookings, please get in touch. We look forward to meeting you and your dog.
