    About Vicky

    We are a dog loving family of four, with two of our own doggies (Lola and Hettie) who are treated more like children than dogs. Our children are 11 and 7 and have grown up with dogs and animals throughout their life, and adore their furry companions. Any dog in the vicinity is guaranteed affection and pets from all four of us. We live in a small village just outside the seaside town of Louisburgh. Our house is a stones throw from the beach, literally across the road down a small by road. It's a gorgeous beach and behind us is a quiet back road for walks also. The house, as can be seen from the pictures is secure with a wall to the front and wire fence to the back. It's important for us that our dogs are safe and secure to play at all times when outside. All dogs who stay with us will be treated like our own and will sleep in the sitting room on the couch, although we do have a dog bed (several in fact) they are rarely used, but your dog will be welcome to make use of them if they want. Someone should! They will also be welcome to join in "the watch" from our window with our two dogs. We understand how important it is to find a trustworthy sitter for your dog when you are away, and aim to provide the home away from home to ensure you can lessen the worry and enjoy yourself when you're away.

    Vicky took excellent care of Bobby whilst we were away, and kept us updated every day with pictures and videos. I would highly recommend.

    Muirín had a great time with Vicky recently. Great walks and swimming in the sea nearby, she was in her element. Thank you for all the photos and update at the end of the day, we really appreciate it.

    Vicky and her family were amazing and went up and above for Luna, staying in contact the whole time and sent photos too. Vicky herself couldn't have been more friendly and accommodating and I would highly recommend her without hesitation.
