Did you know that 20th February is National Love Your Pet Day?
As if we needed an excuse…
At MindMyHome.ie, we know that pets aren’t just animals — they’re the heart of the home. They’re the early morning wake-up calls, the muddy paw prints, the sofa hoggers, the loyal door greeters and the quiet comfort on long days.
Home simply isn’t home without them.
🐕 Why National Love Your Pet Day Matters
Life gets busy. Between work, family commitments and everyday responsibilities, it’s easy to take the small moments for granted.
National Love Your Pet Day is a reminder to:
Give an extra cuddle
Take that longer walk
Share an extra treat (within reason!)
Capture a photo of the mischief-maker who runs your house
Because for them, every day is “Love Your Human Day.”
🐾 How to Celebrate Today
Looking for ideas? Here are a few simple ways to mark the day:
✨ Take a new family photo — yes, pets included
✨ Try a new walking route
✨ Give them a cosy new blanket or toy
✨ Book that overdue vet check for peace of mind
✨ Or simply sit and enjoy the moment
Sometimes the best gift is your time.
🏡 Pets & Peace of Mind
At MindMyHome.ie, we understand that when you’re away from home, your biggest concern often isn’t the house — it’s the pets waiting inside it.
They’re part of the family. And they deserve care, comfort and routine.
That’s why trusted home care matters. Because peace of mind means knowing every member of your household is safe.
📸 Join the Celebration
We’d love to see the pets who make your house a home.
Share a photo on social media and tag MindMyHome.ie using #MindMyPet — we’ll be featuring some of our favourites throughout the day.
Let’s fill today with wagging tails, loud purrs, happy chirps and maybe even the occasional goldfish cameo.
Happy National Love Your Pet Day! ❤️🐾
