Local know-how pays off in Athlone

When demand peaks
Demand peaks over the summer holidays and the year-end break, plus the mid-term and bank-holiday weekends. Boarding and house sitting lead when owners travel; walking and drop-in visits carry the working week for commuters.
Know your Athlone routes
Most bookings cluster Monksland to Bellaugh. Owners look for walkers who know the local parks and leash rules, and who can turn up on a regular schedule.
Breeds you will meet in Athlone
