    About Shanks

    Hello, fellow paw parents! My name is Shanks, and together with my lifelong teammate and partner, we are the proud founders and owners of Pawsome Dublin! You can check out more about us on Instagram: @pawsome_dublin (don’t forget to hit follow!). We’re passionate about dogs and bring a wealth of experience in caring for pups of all sizes. Since we began this journey during the COVID era, we’ve had the privilege of caring for 213 dogs and counting! From dogs with special needs to older companions, we’ve seen it all. We’re also happy to teach your furry friends some fun tricks along the way. Your dog’s happiness, safety, and comfort are our top priorities, and we can’t wait to welcome them into the Pawsome Dublin family! We could talk about dogs from breakfast to dinner—that’s how much we love and adore them! With so many dogs under our care over the years, we bring a wealth of experience to ensure your furry friend feels right at home. At Pawsome Dublin, your dog will have the freedom to roam, play, and just be their happy selves—no restrictions here! They’ll be well-fed, walked regularly, and have plenty of opportunities to play and socialise with other dogs. We’re more than happy to arrange a meet-and-greet in advance to make sure you and your pup feel completely comfortable. We also have experience with administering medication if needed. Super friendly, easy-going, and completely obsessed with doggos—that’s us! We can’t wait to welcome your furry family member into our home. At Pawsome Dublin, we’ve cared for over 213 dogs since starting during the COVID era, gaining extensive experience with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and needs. From playful puppies to senior dogs and those requiring medication or special care, we handle it all with love and dedication. Our dog-friendly home has no restrictions, allowing your pup to roam, play, and socialise freely. We also provide mental stimulation, fun tricks, and plenty of cuddles to ensure every dog feels happy and loved. With us, your furry friend is in safe, experienced, and caring hands! Our home is spacious, welcoming, and designed with dogs in mind. It features a large living room where pups can play and relax, three cozy bedrooms, and a private courtyard that's perfect for outdoor fun and fresh air. With plenty of space to roam and explore, your dog will feel right at home in our comfortable and dog-friendly environment.

    5 star service....Shanks (and Ais] was super accommodating. We were able to drop off Fidel early morning and extend his stay last minute. Got plenty of updates and photos during the day. Fidel had a pawsome time and I wouldn't hesitate to book Fidel in again. Highly recommend.

    Nessie had a great daycare day with Shanks. She had a few other dogs to play with and we were sent lots of photos during the day. I would definitely use again xx

    Shanks took great care of Winnie and he was very quick to respond to messages also. We would definitely book again!
