Pet sitter/kennels cork city urgent

    Hi,
    I have a small 2 year old king charles. I'm looking for a pet sitting service or kennels that come recommended. I am involved in a course that is on for the next 3 saturdays in November and the dog is not used to being left from 9am to 6pm. I've checked out Creedon's doggie day care but seem to be charging extortionate prices and they only operate kennels at the weekend as opposed to the day option. And then you must leave them from friday to monday (75euros) ...

    I'm looking for a recommended place where I can leave her from friday night to saturday evening or even drop her off in the morning on the way to the course (in cork city). Alternatively someone (again who comes recommended) who can come in for an hour or so and take her for a long walk and feed her...
    There are a lot of ads up for students doing this and I'm not comfortable letting a complete stranger into my house and giving them house keys....

    Fia is used to going to kennels when I'm away, she is a quite dog and good with kids and enthusiastic about all new people she meets...


    Any and all suggestions welcome!

    Thank you

    Hi cate I was in same situation as you as for work needed to be away from home for 16 hours a few days. Came across an ad from a girl, and because she was involved with an animal rescue and I given reference, I was happy enough to trust her with my 2 dogs. She called a week beforehand to meet them and to let me suss her out.! On the day she came to house for 5 hours,took them for a walk etc and I paid her 25euros. Ill pm her number and details if you like. I haven't had reason to use her since which I feel kinda guilty about as she was so lovely!

    Thanks very much, would appreciate the details for future reference as this kind of service is espically when the person comes recommended. There is a place that does doggiedaycare but its very expensive and doesn't open weekends. I found a kennel outside Douglas for this weekend and it went well.... though she does need a bath this morning.... very strong dog smell of her! :-)
