What is Stay-At-Home Daycare?
Stay-At-Home Daycare is a day time pet sitting alternative to sending your dogs somewhere else for care. Our services are one to one, so the dogs in your home get our full attention. This allows us to create a tailored program for them.
Our programs include a variety of activities ranging from essential care (toilet breaks, check on food water), company, outings, to activities that provide mental challenges - lots of sniffing, training games and lots of play
Pay as you go or monthly package options available that allow you to reserve a spot on our service for the month.
Our visits are structured based on our observations of your dogs behaviour and your insights. Our aim is that you come home to a dog who has had a busy and fulfilled day.
What are the benefits?
Your dog gets to stay at home, that means less stress for you and them, no more battling traffic to get to work or other commitments on time.
More time in the evening to enjoy the things you love to do with your dog, our services contribute to a dog who is more settled, rested, easier to live with and to manage on walks.
Focused one to one care for your dog, they are our priority when we are with them.
Your dog will spend time with an experienced dog professional with an understanding of dog behaviour so your dogs wellbeing is put first.
Your dogs day is now full of adventure and entertainment reducing behaviours associated with boredom and attention seeking when you come home, while still being delighted to see you!
Get regular updates and pictures of your dogs adventures right to your phone, so you can join in on the fun too.

Meet and greet session
This is a pre-requisite to the Stay-At-Home Daycare, it is a paid service at €35.
The purpose of this session is for your dog to meet me. We will all go for short walk together, and play some games with your dog.
It gives me a chance to learn about their likes and dislikes.
It gives you an opportunity to get to know me and see how I interact with your dog.
It gives us a chance to go over what you would like from this service for you and your dog.
If your dog takes a while to warm up to new people, no problem, I can do multiple sessions before our one to one sessions with them.
Book your first session
We can then book your fist session once we have done the meet and greet session and both you and your dog are comfortable.
Please see our terms and conditions of service.
