At GPS, we are thrilled to announce that this week has been jam-packed with exciting developments, from interviewing potential candidates to join our team as Dog Walkers, Hike Pack leaders, and Live-In Care Providers. As an award-winning pet care provider, we are dedicated to finding individuals who share our passion for caring for your pets as if they were our own. We encourage our loyal clients to stop by and say hello during the interview process – your input is invaluable to us.

Expanding Our Team to Enhance Your Pet's Experience

In the spirit of fostering unparalleled care and companionship for our four-legged clients, we're embarking on a mission to augment our distinguished team. With the business flourishing, we recognise the vital need to onboard more hands and hearts that resonate with our core values of love, care, and commitment towards pets. Our search is on for not just employees, but passionate pet advocates who will join us as Dog Walkers, Hike Pack leaders, and Live-In Care Providers. These roles are pivotal in enriching the experiences of the pets entrusted to us, ensuring they continue to thrive under our wing.

Our rigorous selection process is designed to identify those rare gems who not only have a knack for pet care but also embody the warmth and dedication that GPS stands for. We're not just looking for expertise; we're in pursuit of individuals who have that intrinsic connection with animals, those who can intuitively understand and cater to the unique needs of each pet. It's a calling for those who see beyond the walk or the hike, envisioning the joy and wellbeing these interactions bring to our furry friends. Joining our team means becoming part of a family, a community committed to setting new benchmarks in pet care, where every day is an opportunity to make a difference in the lives of pets and their owners alike.




Poppy and Layla's Adventure-Filled Week

The journey embarked upon by Poppy and Layla since entering into the loving embrace of our Live-In care has been nothing short of extraordinary. These delightful pups have woven themselves into a tapestry of new friendships, embarking on adventures that span the tranquillity of nature hikes to the serene comfort of lazy weekend cuddles. Their days, under the attentive care of Caleb, have transformed into a series of memorable escapades, each moment filled with joy and discovery.

Their experiences are a testament to the ethos of GPS, where every pet is given the opportunity to explore, learn, and grow in an environment that mirrors the warmth and safety of their own homes. The introduction of Poppy and Laylay to such vibrant activities not only highlights the importance of physical exercise but also emphasises the significance of emotional well-being. Through each interaction, whether it's a gentle stroll in the park or a playful meeting with new pup pals, Poppy and Layla's journey is a beacon of the enriching life that awaits all pets under our care.

Caleb's dedication to their happiness and well-being is a prime example of the profound bond that our team strives to cultivate with each pet. It's a journey of mutual respect, love, and endless adventures, showcasing the very essence of what makes our care so special.


Navigating the Waters of Legislative Change

Navigating the Waters of Legislative Change brings us to a pivotal moment in pet ownership and legislative action in Ireland. Minister Heather Humphreys' announcement regarding the proposed ban on XL Bully dogs is stirring conversations within our community. This move, reflecting similar legislation in England and Wales, is a significant step towards addressing safety concerns following recent incidents. As pet care professionals and advocates, understanding and adapting to these changes is crucial for us. We find ourselves at the intersection of policy and daily living, where our practices and the choices of dog owners may need to align with new legal frameworks. This evolving situation invites a broader dialogue among us - how do regulations shape our responsibilities and our relationships with our pets? Your perspectives on this matter are essential, as they enrich our collective understanding and help us navigate these changes with informed empathy and care. Let's engage in this important conversation, exploring the implications and pathways forward together, always with the well-being of our pets and community at heart.



The Unique Appeal of Our Dog Hikes

Our dog hikes stand out as a vibrant testament to the fusion of joyous exercise and the thrill of exploration that every dog deserves. These ventures beyond the confines of the ordinary day-to-day routine offer a dynamic blend of physical activity and mental stimulation, crucial for the holistic well-being of our canine friends. Led by our seasoned team, these expeditions into nature's splendour not only foster a deepened sense of camaraderie among the pack but also encourage a connection with the great outdoors that is both enriching and fundamentally nurturing.

By choosing these carefully curated trails, we ensure that each hike is tailored to suit the needs and abilities of our furry participants, providing them with an experience that is as engaging as it is beneficial. The shared experiences on these hikes contribute significantly to the social development and behavioural enrichment of all dogs involved, setting a foundation for positive interactions and a balanced lifestyle. It is in these moments of unleashed freedom and boundless joy that the true spirit of our community shines brightest, illustrating why our dog hikes are a cherished alternative to the conventional realms of doggy daycare.

Celebrating National Best Friends Day with Our Canine Companions

In honour of National Best Friends Day, our team wholeheartedly embraced the essence of this celebration by engaging in a delightful selfie challenge. This day provided a splendid opportunity to spotlight the unparalleled bond that exists between us and our dogs. It was a day filled with joyous laughter, heartwarming exchanges, and, most importantly, the capturing of timeless memories alongside our furry companions. The photographs taken during this challenge are more than just images; they are a vivid representation of the deep connections and the mutual affection that define these relationships. Dogs, renowned for their unwavering loyalty and companionship, enrich our lives in ways that transcend the mere joy of pet ownership. They are confidants, sources of comfort, and embodiments of unconditional love. Engaging in this playful yet profoundly meaningful activity, our team members showcased the essence of camaraderie and the significant role these magnificent creatures play in our lives. Each snapshot served as a beautiful testament to the unique and irreplaceable bond we share with our canine friends, highlighting their role not just as pets, but as integral members of our families and our hearts. This celebration of friendship and love underscores the spirit of National Best Friends Day, reminding us of the special place dogs hold in our lives and our enduring commitment to cherishing and nurturing these relationships.
