    Description

    I am living in the most beautiful countryside, Glencar Co Kerry Ireland . My home is located on the Kerry Way route, nestled in a very scenic valley overlooking Carrauntoohil, Ireland's highest mountain. And apart of the Dark Sky Reserve.
    There is an endless supply of rivers, woodland and lakes to explore.
    I have 3 gorgeous dogs, and a chicken, Mary. Bailey my 11 year old JR lives in the house with me, he is king of the castle. Glenn & Cooper are 2 adorable collies who live outside, they are 4 year-old brothers.
    Bailey likes to sleep and rest while I'm away. He literally does his own thing and prefers to be left to his own routine. The 2 bigger boys love a walk, a swim in the river and play with ball. They are all very friendly and independent, and just do their own thing.
    I also have a large garden and my neighbor's have farms, with sheep and cattle.
    The nearest bar/shop is 3 miles, nearest Village & beach, Glenbeigh is 6 miles, 10 min drive and nearest town Killorglin is 12 miles, 20 mins Drive.
    Kerry Airport is 40 mins drive. And Killarney is 40 mins drive.

    I would like someone to mind my home & dogs. To be company for my dogs and make sure they stay safe. The dogs just need to be fed and watched. They don't necessarily need to be walked as there is a big garden. If someone is interested in gardening that can be looked at if they choose. I would like the guest to keep my home clean & warm for my Bailey.

    I'm hoping my visitor will be able to dog sitting & house sit while I'm away for a 3/4 nights. They will only need to be at home in the morning & at nighttime. There is a garden and some DIY to be helped on if they choose

    What else ...

    I live in a very peaceful area, there are neighbours on my road on farms but we all maintain a our privacy. There is no public transport, just taxis. Cycling & walking is a very common option by holiday makers. Glencar is an outdoor haven, and ideal for someone who craves peace & nature.
