Countryside house in Northern Ireland with fun and loving pets
Introduction
I work full time and my job can require me to travel from time to time so hoping to connect with people who would love to holiday in our area while minding our pets. We built a our new home in 2017. The house is therefore lovely and modern and we're currently working on the gardens outside which will hopefully be competed before the end of the year.

Show more...Responsibilities
All the animals are used to us working during the day so the routine is mainly morning and evening feeding and exercise. The cats will stay outside all day after their breakfast. They'll be waiting to come back in in the evening for some snooze time! We have use of an open field adjoining our garden so the dogs get a run in the morning and evening. They love nothing more than playing fetch. I give them their breakfast after morning run and then just a small snack when putting them to bed. All animals fairly low maintenance but do love cuddles in the evening!

Myself and my two kids aged 11 and 14 just completed a house sit for Laragh and Darren and their two collies and four cats and it was lovely! It was our first house sit so I didn’t know what to expect but Laragh was great a communication, left a checklist, did a video chat, and was there if I had any questions. The animals were so welcoming and trusting even though they’d never met us before. Their characters are so different it was a joy to watch them unfold as we were there. We were happy to have relaxed chill time in the house which was well equipped for cooking etc and went out for a few hours every day to explore the area. On one very wet rainy day we went to the cinema. It was lovely quality time spent with both my kids and Laragh’s animals and I’d recommend their place for a sitter any day.

Loved sitting for Laragh and her pets! Susie and Beau loved to play ball and Susie gave amazing hugs! The kitties were so adorable and sweet! Laragh was very communicative and my responsibilities were clear. Her home was very welcoming and comfortable! Thank you so much for letting me watch your fur babies!

This sit was an absolute pleasure from beginning to end. Larragh was very clear, communicative and friendly so I felt like I knew her and her pet family before my visit. And what a welcome! Susie and Beau - the dogs, and 4 cats all made me feel right at home. They were very well behaved, affectionate and full of character. The demands are minimal, mostly feeding, ball throwing and attention. There’s a very harmonious dynamic between them all, enjoying each other’s company, but also giving each other space. It is also a beautiful house, with all mod cons and comfort. Larragh ensured I had everything I might need, so I felt very relaxed throughout my stay. It’s a lovely location too, although I didn’t leave the house much because i was so content with the animal company that I didn’t want to leave them. I highly recommend this sit and thank Larragh for the opportunity to stay, it was brilliant!

We had the best time at Laragh and Darren's house sit. Their pets are so friendly and loving, they made us feel at home straight away. Beau and Suzie are such sweethearts who love all the attention and pets, we loved cuddling and playing fetch with them and loved how all the cats would join us in the field for the walk too. Blacky and Fluffy were so affectionate with us and would curl up on the couch with us in the evening. Maggie and Charlie were more independent during the day spending more time outside but would come in and out for cuddles too which we greatly appreciated. All the pets were so well behaved and we had no issues with them at all. Laragh and Darren's home was a dream to stay in. The living area and guest room were so comfortable and we loved cooking in the kitchen in the evenings. We would definitely recommend this sit and we can't wait to go back again.

We spent three days with Laragh’s adorable pets. Everything was a breeze as Laragh is a great communicator and made us feel at ease before and during the stay with instructional videos and friendly texts. Her two adorable dogs Susie and Beau are affectionate and full of energy and will happily play fetch as long as you let them. Her four cats Blacky, Fluffy, Charlie and Maggie are all sweethearts who spend most of their days outdoors and will come in for cuddles & meal times throughout the day. Laragh & Darren’s home is a stunning new build with all the modern conveniences. We were so comfortable in the spacious guest room & the well-equipped home office has great Wifi! You’re not far from shopping & dining in Camlough & Newry, and yet Laragh’s home and pets create a really peaceful retreat in a charming rural setting. Thanks again Laragh & Darren for having us!
