Dee For Dog

Lovely to get a message from a lady yesterday saying they were staying in a lovely dog friendly B&B in Co. Wexford on the back of my recommendations below😀🐾! She was enquiring to see if I could mind their dog for a couple hours today. Unfortunately I was unavailable but I put her in touch with Anna's Traveling Pet Care who took Lola on a little adventure this afternoon👍🐾

What a great start to Spring getting in morning walkies with this stunning and energising sunrise (with a very enthusiastic puppy in tow!)🌅❤️🐾

I don’t ever post photos of a new cuddly client ‘til after the first booking is complete and I get their pawrents permission to share … but all I’ll say for now is that the cuteness is off the charts!😉🤎🐾

I offer a live-in pet sitting service (at the pet’s home), mainly covering the south east region (Wexford, Waterford, Kilkenny, Wicklow).

Pets get to remain in their familiar surroundings and be kept to their usual routine while you’re away. My priority is to ensure pets feel safe, secure & loved and that clients return to happy pets who’ve been well exercised and enjoyed on-tap bellyrubs!! 😀🐾

For any pet-sitting enquiries, please include the following:

- dates required;

- location;

- breeds/sex/ages of all pets.

An initial ‘meet & greet’ visit must take place before a new client’s first booking can be fully confirmed.

You’ll find more information about me and my services (including testimonials and prices) on my website www.deefordog.ie

Excited for my first booking with a miniature poodle puppy this week (🥰🐾) followed by bookings with some of my very special furry clients during February😀

Wishing everyone & their pets a safe couple of days as we brace for Storm Éowyn😱

❗️⚠️ Be sure to keep all pets / animals (and yourselves!) indoors and safe this evening and overnight tonight. ❗️⚠️

❗️⚠️ And be careful to check fences and gates aren’t damaged/open when letting dogs out for calls of nature! ❗️⚠️

Batten down the hatches and make sure to keep phones and power banks charged … and fill some water bottles and flasks 💡🍀🐾

The calm before the storm … another lovely day for winter walkies on the Arthurstown to Duncannon Cliff Walk 👣☀️

When enquiring, please remember to include the following:

The third Monday of January has become known as Blue Monday and termed the "most depressing day of the year"!! The good news - pets don’t believe in "Blue Monday" - they’ll just love you unconditionally and can actually brighten your mood and boost your mental health!

The ISPCA's lovely article reminds us how pets can beat the blues any day of the week with their unconditional love - as well as helping to reduce stress, keeping us active, help in making friends & adding structure and routine to the day!! https://ispca.ie/beat-the-blues-this-blue-monday-with-a-furry-friend/

Don't have a pet in the family but would like to consider volunteering, fostering or adopting?! Contact the ISPCA or your local rescue to check out opportunities and/or the pets in their care awaiting placements!

Including a few photos from some of my recent pet sits with lots of uplifting 'blue' winter skies and adorable loving pets!

And to add a little Blue Monday brightness - I have 2 spare 2025 Irish Dog Calendars which are free to the first two people to comment saying they'd like one!

Meet Ben - the happiest, smiliest dog ever … and his adorable feline siblings!

I just loved sitting this crew for a few days last week😍🐾❤️

We had a lot of fun playing football … as you can see, it’s GAA all the way for Ben!! 😂🐾⚽️ He might be a senior dog, but he has boundless youthful energy🧡🧡 .. and is just the best best boy!!

Anna's Traveling Pet Care had the pleasure of taking over for a few days, and was equally smitten with this loveable family of pets! We met up yesterday and took Ben to the beach … his “really really” happy place!! 🐾😀
