About Margaret

*Maternity Leave* *Back in 2024 for Bookings* Hi I am Maggie, here is a little bit of information about me. I am passionate about Dogs, they have always been a big part of my life. Every summer for 10 years I went to Brighton in the UK to help a family member with their business that involved doggy day care, grooming, walking, and house calls. I knew it was something I wanted to do and now is the time. I studied Animal Science and Grooming for two years in Carlow and volunteered in my local vets, I also worked part time in a Boarding Kennels, where I learned all the skills to ensure a safe and comfortable environment for your dogs stay. I have two dogs of my own Ally, she is a 9 year old Jug (jackrussle&pug) and Milo, he is an 1 year old Springer Spaniel, both dogs are very social and love having new pals to play with. I live on a 100 acre farm close to Mt Leinster so there is plenty of space to run around safely and loads of options for walks up the mountain, and also a new fenced in area for safe play without leads. When your furbaby comes to stay with me they will be treated exactly like my own. I will make sure to keep you updated on their daily activities Your dog will be staying in my house with my own two dogs they will never be left alone,we will be going on loads of walks get lots of cuddles and I will send regular photos and videos. If there is any questions or you need any more information please don’t hesitate to send me a message.

First time for Rua with Margaret. Went very well. Picked up from home and returned following day and no problems.

Cala had a great holiday at Margaret’s . She seemed to very happy , lots of walks and she made new friends.

Margaret took such good care of Roscoe, I had no worries about leaving him. Margaret is so friendly and a big dog lover, so I knew he was in the best hands while I left him for the night. Would recommend a stay with Margaret!
