Help with house sitting and care for our dogs in the vibrant city of Kilkenny, Ireland

  Descrição

  Hi! Our names are Margaret and Dan and we live in the beautiful medieval city of Kilkenny. The house is located in the city centre - easily accessible by train, bus, and walking. We have bikes at the house as well, so there's no need for a car to enjoy the city and the rest of Ireland. Dublin is 1.5 hours by train.
  
  The house has a big garden, which the dogs love, and has tables and seating if you'd like to dine al fresco. The house has all the mod-cons you could ask for as it's been recently renovated (3 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom).
  
  There are amazing bars, restaurants, coffee shops, yoga studios, gyms, libraries, and public facilities available within minutes of the house. Kilkenny has a really vibrant and bustling scene both during the day and evenings. It's a safe city too!
  
  We live with 2 dogs - Oscar and Millie who are great low-maintenance dogs. Well, Millie is a very well behaved collie whose only vices are pulling on the lead *a little bit* and barking at the door when people are home. Otherwise, she's a happy, smart, obedient girl who loves a long walk. Oscar is a classic silly, bold, snuffley french bulldog who excels at cuddling and sleeping. Oscar's vices are that he must be on a lead at all times, as he has bad manners when meeting new dogs. He'll pull on the lead, and bark loudly at passing dogs. We're working on it, but he's a work in progress.

  Pode aceitar animais

  If you're bringing your pets, you need to be advised that Oscar is aggressive towards new dogs at the start. After a few meetings, he should be fine but there's a possibility it might not work out. Let's chat about this if you're considering our home!
