Hi guys, I've got a similar issue - broke up with partner and now need help to manage my 2 labradors. They need to be walked every morning and have to have them indoors by 7pm each evening due to complaining neighbours so hard to have a life with these curfews. Anyone ever heard of getting an au pair for dogs? Would be looking to spend max €350 each month to include a walk 7 days a week and doggy-sitting 3 nights a week.

Where are you located??

Swords area - wondering should I just go ahead and get an au pair from abroad to avoid distance issues etc.

Ive heard doggie day care is great.The dogs get walked and lots of play time?Just be very very careful who who are letting into your home to mind your doggies xxxx

Yeah it's really hard to figure out what to do really - don't want to get a local teenager as I'll have to hand over keys to a minor then and God knows what could happen. Even putting notices up in the local post office I'm uncomfortable with employing a stranger. Nightmare.

Have to be honest I wouldnt trust any stranger in my home:(Im sure alot of them are lovely and trustworthy but wouldnt be for me.Are your dogs barkers?

Doirean

Not persistently but when theyre out the back there's a small dog in the garden behind and he can sometimes make them bark - but that's it. Neighbour has a baby and insists that my dogs wake the child up. I think it's because she has my number to be honest - miraculously she's done nothing about the 3 other dogs in the surrounding gardens that are out 24 hours a day - one of which barks non-stop. Nightmare.
