    About Declan

    Tara and I are avid dog lovers and have minded dogs of friends and family over the years. We have experience with fostering dogs from charities such as Dogs for the Disabled and Cork DAWG. This would’ve been for a few hours, overnight or even for a week or two. We have an enclosed garden with lots of space, sticks and balls. Our home has lots of space inside with comfy dog beds and couches. We’re close to all the best walks in Muckross and walk twice a day. We know quiet local walks or popular walks depending on your dogs social skills. Our Lyra is very friendly and would love company to play and bond with. She doesn’t react aggressively at all, good with nervous dogs and has a sweet nature. We both work from home mostly, so we’re around all day with them. We take them for a morning stroll for toilet and then a nice evening walk once we finish. Our weekends center around Lyra usually! We try go for big walks if we can, however if your doggy prefers shorter walks that’s okay. We thoroughly enjoy getting to know new dogs and their personalities and always an advocate of positive reinforcement. We would love the opportunity to take care of your doggy as we always appreciated when someone could mind ours when we’ve been stuck. We can offer day stay and overnights, and if we can walk in the evenings or weekends. If you have any questions feel free to reach out before booking!

    Tara and Declan took great care of Ushy, great communication before and throughout his stay with lovely photo updates of him out and about on walks. Would highly recommend to other dog owners

    Teddy had a great time at doggy day car with declan, Tara and lyra. We really appreciated all the updates we received of Teddy throughout the day. Teddy settled in really quickly with the help of Lyra's gentle personality . Thanks so much.

    Our Brena had a fabulous time with Declan and Tara. They took her out for a lovely walk with their own dog Lyra and another dog they were looking after, and Brena had so much fun. They sent regular photo updates and were very accommodating with Brena's need for extra tlc, as she is a bit of a shy, nervous dog. Thank you for your great care.
