The house standard is a small terrier.

Ellie is a small white Jack Russell with grey speckles and a black-and-tan face. She is convinced guests exist to admire her. The care is built around that kind of attention, not a row of kennels.

The care lead runs the visits. The brief is the dog in front of you, not a script.

Home base is Dublin 5 and the neighbourhoods around it. Other areas are by arrangement, written into the booking rather than promised on a map.
