6 old rescue dogs, beautiful views, peaceful location.
Introduction
Hi my name is Samantha, I am a business owner, my interests include caring for my animals, (my dogs are my life) horse riding, walking, Pilates and camping. I would need a sitter for my 6 rescue dogs, 5 rescue sheep, 7 horses and 7 ex battery hens. I absolutely adore my pets so I would love a sitter who feels the same way about animals but would like the chance to stay in a beautiful quiet location with fabulous views! Some of our dogs need medication and one is slightly incontinent so there can be a bit of washing todo.

Our home is based at the bottom of the Cooley mountains and our estate runs into Dundalk bay beach. We are close to Dundalk, Newry and Carlingford. Our home is surrounded by wildlife and lots of cute animals. There is lots of nearby restaurants. it’s very peaceful and relaxing with beautiful walks around our estate. We have a good wifi connection. Please note two of our dogs are very nervous due to being rescue dogs, for this reason we can not allow children to stay under 16.
Show more...Responsibilities
Feeding the dogs and taking them on a walk. They have all sorts of meds as they are all old rescue dogs.(They are used to being fed before 6am) two of the little old dogs do like to sleep in there crate in the same room as us so this would need to be considered. One small dog is slightly incontinent so there blankets needs changed and washed and his pee (very little needs mopped)(They sleep sound all night)cleaning out the chickens (usually takes about 5 mins max) feeding the ponies hay but not more than 80 mins a day, in return you’ll have the best fun stay here :)

We had a fantastic experience with Samantha! From assisting us with travel arrangements to Dundram, to her incredibly friendly demeanor, Samantha made our trip a breeze. Her warmth and friendliness made us feel instantly welcome. Not to mention, the dogs were an absolute delight! They were incredibly friendly, and Jessie stole our hearts with her adorable antics. Overall, Samantha's hospitality, coupled with the charming company of her furry friends, made our stay truly memorable. We can't wait to visit again!

Samantha and Ronan made me feel very welcome at their beautiful house. They were easy to communicate with and they continually kept in touch. Their house is accessible to wonderful woods and walks and closeby to shops/cafes/restaurants. They also have an amazing indoor swimming pool which they very kindly let me use. All the dogs were special characters and it was a pleasure minding them. I fell in love with all of them (especially Jessie and Pal). The hens were very easy to take care of and are very friendly. Samantha left excellent instructions in the welcome guide and backed it up with a very helpful feeding guide for the dogs. The horses, ponies and sheep were there too but someone else attended to their needs. It was lovely just watching them! I really enjoyed my time at the house. Thanks again Sam and Ronan for inviting me to take care of your lovely animals. I would highly recommend this sit.

We absolutely loved our time here! Really relaxing environment with a lot of love from the dogs. Poms Lily, Bonnie and tiny Jessie, chihuahua Toby, who loves to follow you everywhere! Barney and his love of his toys! and Pal who loved being mothered! They settled with us well and are a pleasure to look after. All their little personalities made it a fab stay. We also loved the ponies, horses, sheep and hens! Samantha and Ronan made us feel so welcome! It was lovely to have use of the pool! If you love open spaces and animals this is perfect!
