Dog minding and walks in Dublin 8

Dublin 8 takes in most of Phoenix Park alongside the Liberties and Kilmainham. The district takes in The Liberties, Kilmainham, Inchicore, Islandbridge, Dolphin's Barn, Portobello, South Circular Road and Merchants Quay.

Phoenix Park is a 707-hectare public park inside an 11 km perimeter wall and home to a herd of wild fallow deer, so dogs need to be kept under close control near the herd. The Irish National War Memorial Gardens sit at Islandbridge on the south bank of the River Liffey, opposite the Phoenix Park obelisk. The grounds of the Royal Hospital Kilmainham, home of the Irish Museum of Modern Art, are reached by a pedestrian avenue from the South Circular Road.

On Petme, owners in Dublin 8 book overnight minding in the minder's own home, daytime care, walks and drop-in visits. Every minder passes identity and background checks, and you can arrange a free meet and greet in the app before the first booking.

Dublin rates apply across Dublin 8: home boarding usually runs €32–€58 a night, a walk €15–€28, and daycare €25–€45 a day. Each minder sets their own rate and you see it before you book. Owners pay no service fee, and cashback is credited after every completed booking.
