Happy Easter all🥚🐇🐣!! Hope everyone’s having a lovely day & enjoying tucking into the Easter eggs (just be sure to keep the chocolate out of canine reach as it’s toxic to dogs)!

Willingly roped into dog sitting this adorable pair for my brother for a couple days over Easter 🐾🤎🐣😀

Loving all the yellow fields of rapeseed around the countryside ATM … very apt for Easter too 💛🌼 … and all the Spring flowers and blossoms🌸 … attaching a few captured during the week 💛🌼🌸

Congratulations to Elsie & Wilbur - they’ve only had over 1,000 views in less than 24 hours🎉🐾😲 Wow🤩🍀!!

17/04/2025

So yesterday lunchtime I finished up my 10 day dog sit with the adorable Elsie & Wilbur (a cutesness update to follow when I get a chance to whittle down the photos & videos!!)🐾🐾🤎😉

I left the very rainy midlands and headed to sunny Sligo to visit my 101 year old relative❤️. Then, having gotten wind of the possible aurora activity last night, I stayed in Carrick-on-Shannon and drove out to an elevated spot near Lough Key at 11pm and spent an hour saying ‘wow’ to myself✨🎉💚🩷!!

This morning I’m very excited to be hitting the road to visit Tammy (at her forever home in Co. Louth) … Tammy is the little dog I fostered from South East Animal Rescue back in March 2023, who helped kick-start Dee For Dog (she’s the dog in my website profile photo)🐾🤎🐾!

Happy Days! 😀😀🐾🌈💫

Happy National Pet Day! 🐾🤎🐶🐈‍⬛

National Pet Day is celebrated annually on 11th April. The main purpose of the day is to highlight the plight of animals in shelters worldwide and to encourage people to “Adopt Don’t Shop”.

National Pet Day also reminds us to celebrate the special bond between humans and their pets and the joy and companionship they bring into our lives! So give your pets some extra time and attention today to celebrate all they do for you! 🤎🐾😀

I’m currently dog sitting with Elsie & Wilbur (the Schnauzer who’s not a Schnauzer😉!). Wilbur (4) was adopted from a shelter last year and really is now living his best life having firmly landed on his paws here! He’s quite the character and such a bundle of energy, joy (and mischief)! Elsie is an adorable old lady who gets cuter by the day! I’ll absolutely be spoiling these two with some extra treats, tickles & bellyrubs today … they’re just the cutest pair!

Dee For Dog offers a live-in pet sitting service where pets get to remain in their familiar surroundings and be kept to their usual routine while their owners are away🐾🐶🐈‍⬛😻.

My priority is to ensure your pets feel safe, secure & loved in your absence❤️🐾.

The 2025 summer diary is filling fast - April, June, July & August are all fully booked but I have some limited availability left for May and September. Get in touch with any enquiries for dates, and/or to arrange a (free, no obligation) meet & greet visit.

Excited for all my upcoming pet sits & taking good care of all the furbabies booked in - most are repeat bookings, but a few new cuddly clients I’m looking forward to getting to know too🤎🐾.

Very grateful to all my clients for entrusting me to care for their most precious possessions🙏🍀.

The doggies aren’t impressed I’m not sharing😆🫣!!

I don’t post photos of new furry clients ‘til after the first booking is complete and I get their pawrents permission to share … but having a great time bonding with 2 adorable Cockapoo brothers💙🐾!
