Pet sitting in scenic and nature-filled Ennis, Co. Clare, Ireland

The experience

In 2016 I got a lovely puppy. His name is Luca. Now he's quite mature and when I got him I started with workaway as a means of having someone to look after him when I'm at work. It's been a really good experience.

You're probably wondering what you would need to do. If you could walk Luca for about an hour 3 times a day and do some light housework that would be perfect. You would be free every weekend.

Program Details

I live in Ennis, a lovely town that is the gateway to the scenic, nature-filled mid-west of Ireland. Ennis is the capital town of the region and lies approximately midway, an easy journey, between the cities of Limerick and Galway. The town's population is about 25,000 people.

We are 30 minutes drive from the ocean and from so many beaches that are long and sandy. All nearby are the world-famous cliffs of Moher, the Burren, and the secret, much-less-known west of Clare which has some of the best scenery in the world, with the wild Atlantic Way, a hiker's, nature-lover's and photographer's dream.

Where I live is 15-20 minutes walk to the centre of town.
