Taking care of a dog in Dublin: where to go for a walk

Yes, the Irish weather may not be the best around, but there are still some great parks to enjoy when you're looking after a dog in Dublin! Phoenix Park is one of the largest urban parks in the world, home to Dublin Zoo and other attractions. There's also a large herd of deer that live wild here, but as the park is over 707 hectares in size, don't be surprised if you miss them! Meanwhile, right in the city centre, St Stephen's Green is ideal for walkies. With its charming ponds, ducks, and the famous statue of Dublin native Oscar Wilde, it's a lovely inner-city oasis of calm.

A taste of Irish life

Just like all visitors to the Irish capital, house sitters in Dublin can't miss visiting their world-famous Guinness Storehouse! This iconic Dublin attraction tells the tale of Ireland's famous stout in an immersive experience. For something a little less touristy, visit one of the pubs along the cobbled streets of Temple Bar district, many of which also offer live traditional Irish music to enjoy.

Experience historic Dublin

Ireland has a long and fascinating history, which you can experience when you're house sitting in Dublin. Trinity College, right in the city centre, is a must for most visitors. Its charming cobblestones and picturesque buildings have inspired generations, and the famous ancient manuscript, the Book of Kells, can be visited in the historic Old Library. To learn more about Irish history, take a trip to Kilmainham Gaol on the outskirts of town. This is where the leaders of Ireland's 1916 rebellion, the Easter Rising, were held and executed, and today it is a museum dedicated to the nation's history. Marks of the Rising can be seen elsewhere in town. When you're walking your new pooch pal, look out for the bullet holes that mark the statue of Daniel O'Connell on O'Connell Street!
