Dog sitting Kilmainham

countryliving

Hello board members, I have recently moved back to Dublin full time for work. I was here only 3 days a week but now 5 days. All good. A new job.
However, there is 1 catch. My dog who is a cavalier king Charles and very special to me. I have him for 8 years now.
I live in Kilmainham and I work in the city centre. I am heading into my 4th week in the job.
I have left my cavalier with my parents - about 1 hour 20 minutes from here. I miss the dog dreadfully. However, I need the time to settle into the job.
A year and a half ago I worked near Dog Training Ireland and I dropped my wuff there. I could not speak highly enough about them, very professional staff are just excellent and my dog loved going there when he was in Dublin with me. I wish I could send him there but it is not just possible to drive so far away.
Can anyone suggest a dog/pet sitter? that would come into my place.
It won't be every week as sometimes I work late so will leave him with my parents. I have contacted Ollie's - left 2 voice messages and last week and a facebook message but never got a response. Surely as a matter of courtesy - the owner should have text me or rang me to say sorry can't help. I nearly felt like a stalker leaving 2 messages but I treat the dog like my child!
I would appreciate any help Board members, thank you
