About Dan

We are lifelong dog lovers with a deep-rooted passion for caring for dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. Having grown up surrounded by our own beloved pets, we’ve gained invaluable experience in training, caring for, and understanding the unique needs of dogs. With 17 years of combined experience in dog sitting, we’re committed to ensuring your dog feels safe, loved, and at home with us.

Meet Dan:

From an early age, I’ve been fortunate to share my life with an array of wonderful dogs. My family’s pack has included a Springer Spaniel named Murph, a Cocker Spaniel named Alfie, a Jack Russell mix named Toby, a Basset Hound named Monty, and now, two adorable Cavachons, Benji and Bobbi, who are back in Ireland with my family.

My journey into dog sitting began at just 13 years old when my dog walking duties evolved into hosting dogs for extended stays. Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of caring for a wide range of breeds and personalities. I’ve also worked extensively with dogs who have anxiety-related issues, such as resource guarding and separation anxiety, always ensuring they feel secure and loved during their time with me.

Meet Seán:

For over half of my life, I’ve cherished every moment with Millie, our beloved family dog. Millie, a Springer Spaniel cross, has been the heart and soul of our family. At 14 years old, she still has that lively spring in her step and continues to bring us endless joy.

Since moving to Australia, we’ve missed the companionship of our furry friends. When a friend suggested we pet sit, we jumped at the opportunity. We’ve since had the pleasure of caring for numerous dogs, including Frenchies, Golden Retrievers, Basset Hounds, Dachshunds, Maltese, Cocker Spaniels, and Yorkies—the list goes on.
