Paws at Home Belfast
๐ถ Friendly dog sitting in Belfast
Friendly, fun and relaxed dog sitting from my home. Your pup gets company, walks, and a buddy in my dog Koda — not a kennel.
There’s honestly no better company than a happy dog.
I’ve had dogs for most of my life, growing up with Golden Retrievers and later sharing my life with my beloved Bernese Mountain Dog, Nanook. After losing Nanook a few years ago, I was lucky enough to welcome Koda into my family, and my love for dogs has only grown stronger.
I started Paws at Home Belfast because I genuinely love having dogs around—not just for me, but for Koda too, who enjoys making new four-legged friends.
As a dog owner myself, I know how difficult it can be to leave your best friend behind. The thought of them spending their time in a kennel can be stressful, and it’s natural to worry whether they’ll feel comfortable and happy while you’re away. That’s why I wanted to create a true home-from-home experience where dogs can relax, feel safe, and be treated as part of the family.
When your dog stays with us, they become part of the household. They’ll enjoy comfy places to snooze, regular walks, plenty of attention and affection, and a secure fenced garden where they can explore, play, and sniff to their heart’s content. I keep things calm, clean, and fun, ensuring every dog receives the care, companionship, and routine they’re used to.
We’re conveniently located just a five-minute walk from local playing fields, a dedicated dog park, and the local veterinary practice, giving your dog plenty of opportunities for exercise, enrichment, and safe adventures during their stay.
Koda is a 1 year old Bernese Mountain Dog and if you know anything about the breed, they are loving, loyal, calm (most of the time) and and friendly. She extremely good natured and absolutely loves human interaction and is probably best described as an affection sponge. She is very relaxed and welcoming round other dogs and can be playful, but in most she gives dogs space so not to overwhelm them.

A few words from happy owners and their dogs.
โKoda and Michael were brilliant โ our boy came home happy, tired and clearly well looked after. The photo updates put our minds completely at ease.โ
โSo lovely to have somewhere that feels like a real home from home. Our anxious rescue settled in straight away and made a friend in Koda.โ
โFriendly, flexible and genuinely caring. The intake form meant nothing was missed and I never once worried while I was away.โ
