About: Hi! We’re Casey and Anastasiia, a couple who truly love dogs and provide a safe, loving home where they can relax and feel like part of the family. We live in a spacious house in Balbriggan with a secure, fully enclosed back garden where dogs can safely play and explore. We’re also close to beautiful parks and the beach, so every dog enjoys daily walks, fresh air, and plenty of exercise. One of us is always at home, so your dog will never be left alone for long. We only care for a small number of dogs at a time, allowing us to give every guest the attention, love, and individual care they deserve. Whether your dog loves playing with friends or simply relaxing on the sofa, we’ll make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and cared for throughout their stay. 🏡 What We Offer ✔ Safe home with a secure fenced garden ✔ Daily walks in parks and by the sea ✔ Lots of playtime, cuddles and attention ✔ Comfortable sleeping areas inside our home ✔ Photo & video updates during every stay ✔ Feeding exactly according to your instructions ✔ Medication administration if required ✔ Pet Taxi (pick-up & drop-off available) ✔ Separate space available if a dog needs quiet time ✔ Flexible drop-off and collection times I work from home part-time, which allows me to give lots of attention to the pets I care for. When I’m pet sitting, I treat it as my main responsibility , I make sure the pets are never left alone for too long and always feel safe, loved, and comfortable. Pet care is not just a task in my routine, it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize every day. Whether pets stay in my home or I’m caring for them in their own home, I always do my best to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I live in a house with a private backyard, so when pets stay with me, they enjoy a clean and cozy environment, plenty of playtime, and relaxing moments in the sun. We’re close to the sea and a beautiful park, which makes our daily walks fun and full of adventure! When I care for pets in their owner’s home, I follow all instructions carefully and make sure their routine is kept just as they’re used to. In both cases, I stay in close contact with the pet parents - I send regular photo and video updates so they always know how their furry friend is doing and can feel completely at ease.

About: I have cared for all types of dogs since I was 10 years old. My neighbors, friends, and family trust me to watch, feed, walk, and play with their beloved pets. I have full availability on Mondays and Tuesdays, as these are my days off from work. During those days, I can dedicate all my time and attention to caring for, walking, and playing with your pet. At my home, your pet will enjoy a fully fenced and secure backyard. They will have the company of my dog and my cat, who are very social, calm, and completely used to living with other animals. If the service is at your house, I will strictly follow their feeding routines, walks, and home rules. Safety and well-being are my top priorities: if you prefer your pet to rest in their crate/carrier or have a separate space to sleep safely, I will adapt 100% to whatever they need to feel happy and stress-free

About: Hi there! I’m a certified veterinarian from Mexico who recently moved to Ireland in June 2026. Back home, my life always revolved around animals—from dogs and cats to rabbits and fish. Right now, my beloved cat is staying with my parents, and because I miss her and the daily joy that pets bring into a home, I decided to join Pawshake. For me, this is not just a job; it is a way to fill my heart while providing the absolute best care for your best friend. 🩺 Professional Veterinary Background I have always been deeply committed to animal welfare, which led me to study Veterinary Medicine. I graduated in 2020, and since then, I have worked continuously in veterinary hospitals and clinics. What this means for your pet: I have extensive experience in animal health, monitoring behavior, and recognizing subtle signs of stress or discomfort. Specialized Care: If your pet is a senior, has chronic medical conditions, or requires specific medication (oral, injections, etc.), they will be in the safest hands possible. I am fully trained to handle medical needs with the utmost gentleness and precision. 🕊️ My Lifelong Bond with Dogs Throughout my life, I have given my heart to four beautiful dogs, most of whom were rescued from the streets. They taught me everything I know about unconditional love, patience, and senior pet care: Pirata: A beautiful French Poodle mix who was gifted to me by my grandfather when I was just 3 years old; he lived a long, happy life until the age of 18. Buba: A sweet Labrador who was with us until she was 12. Dokho: A brave companion who lived to be 15, whom I lovingly cared for through his heart and liver failure. Pam: A Labrador who completely changed my life and passed away two years ago at age 12 due to chronic kidney disease. Losing Pam was heartbreaking, and because I knew I wanted to travel and explore the world, I chose not to get another dog of my own until I fully settle down. Caring for your pet will truly bring that missing joy back into my life. 🏡 What I Offer I will treat your pet exactly as if they were my own—with unconditional love, respect, and deep professional attention. Whether it is a high-energy walk, keeping up with their strict feeding schedules, or simply providing a calm, affectionate presence so they don't feel lonely, I am here for them. Since I am highly organized and communicative, you can expect regular updates, photos, and peace of mind knowing your furry family member is being looked after by a professional who genuinely cares. I can't wait to meet your pet and give them a home away from home! Please feel free to reach out with any questions or special requirements. 🐕✨ My weekly routine is highly structured and predictable, making it easy to provide consistent, quality care. I study in the mornings, which keeps my schedule very stable. Once my classes are over, I organize my time so that I have my afternoons completely free to be at home, relaxing and keeping the pets company. Since I love exercising and going for daily walks, I absolutely enjoy incorporating dog walks into my active routine—it's the perfect match! This way, I can ensure the dogs get plenty of outdoor exercise and fun, while still enjoying a calm, attentive, and cozy environment once we are back home. In my home: I live in a cozy, smaller apartment, so I make sure to compensate for the space by keeping the dogs active outdoors. If your pet stays with me, I will adjust my schedule to take them out for more frequent walks and exercise. This way, they can burn off their energy outside and enjoy a calm, relaxed, and comfortable environment once we are back home. In the owner's home: If you prefer me to care for your pet in their own home, my absolute priority is to respect and maintain their exact daily routine. I know how important stability is for pets, so I will strictly follow their usual feeding, walking, and playtime schedules. This ensures they feel completely comfortable, safe, and happy in their familiar environment, making your time away as stress-free as possible for them.

About: I'm Irish, 34 + a lover of animals. It's this love for animals which had me spend a lot of time on farms in recent years has had me pet sit a lot. I also like to have the quiet of a place to myself and to be in new environments. So, I have become very experienced with pet sitting + have a strong track record with 39 out of 40 5-star reviews on Trusted House Sitters. I take seriously the responsibility of looking after people's animals, as well as their home. My healthy + steady lifestyle is one that is well suited to pet sitting, with the animals experiencing the benefits of that. The daily routines (waking early, dog walks etc) then fit in well for me. It has been interesting to meet many different characters + breeds along the way + it definitely has a heart opening effect. I am self-employed + study a bit online, fitting everything in with the requirements of the pet sits I do. ( I am also available for paid garden work/yard work/odd jobs/admin, so feel free to enquire). Because I like to live in a clean and tidy space, you can expect your home to be returned to you like that. I don't drink alcohol or smoke so that wouldn't be in the picture. Ready to do a good job. Currently I am available daily and have a flexible schedule to work with, meaning that there is nothing that would clash with the pet sitting. I maintain the routine that the dogs and/or cats are familiar with, while providing a calm environment for the pets in the comfort of their own home.

“Waldek went above and beyond when I needed someone to regularly check in on my outdoor cats while I was away for a couple of weeks. Would highly recommend him if you need peace of mind for your pets.”

About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs, so caring for them has always been a natural part of my life. I’ve had many years of hands-on experience looking after dogs, including managing daily routines, exercise, play, socialisation and general care. I’ve also been closely involved in a dog’s professional training, which gave me valuable practical knowledge about canine behaviour, communication, boundaries, basic obedience and positive reinforcement. This experience taught me how important patience, consistency and calm communication are when caring for dogs. I’m comfortable with energetic dogs and larger breeds, and I enjoy keeping dogs active and mentally stimulated. I also understand that every dog has a different personality and needs, so I always adapt my approach to their individual temperament, energy level and routine.

About: I have 25+ years of experience providing pet services and have been caring for animals all my life. Brought up with cats, horses, dogs, guinea pigs, chickens and cows, I am comfortable with the varying personalities and needs of every pet I take care of, including the administration of medication. Throughout my time as a volunteer in Africa, I had the honor of leading a vaccination campaign that benefited over 1,400 animals and 110+ farmers and their families. Working hands-on with livestock owners and veterinarians to improve animal health strengthened my belief in patience, attentiveness, and the importance of routine care for the holistic health of animals. I am also a keen gardener and beekeeper, which adds to my love of spending time outdoors and tending to living things. Growing up on a farm, I understand the importance of caring for animals.
