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.

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!

We spent two weeks with Laragh's 6 lovely pets and it was such a special and unique experience! Most importantly, the animals are ALL lovely and each have their own unique personalities. Susie and Beau are well-behaved and affectionate dogs, who love to play fetch and run. Blacky the cat is a real character who can be moody, but a total snuggle bug, and Fluffy is one of the most loving cats you will ever meet. Charlie is cheeky but gentle and Maggie is just super sweet. All cats enjoy joining the walks with the dogs, which was so hilarious, and Fluffy likes to sit on people's shoulders. We really bonded with these lovely pets and will be missing them. Laragh and Darren live in a stunning area filled with beautiful scenery. We didn't feel the need to travel far away because the fields and views behind their house were so lovely and peaceful. It was wonderful to see the animals enjoy their freedom, for the dogs to run around without leads and the cats to explore to their heart's content. The house is comfortable and modern and Laragh and Darren were generous, kind hosts. Communication with Laragh was always easy and friendly and she got back to my messages fast, even though she was in Australia! WiFi at their house was perfect and I could work very smoothly. If you love animals and want to be surrounded by lots of them, this place is a little paradise.
