Dog Walking Ballincollig

About: Hi, I'm David and based in Ballincollig. I've always had a huge love for dogs and owned one of my own over 11 years but he sadly passed away in April. Jackson was a friendly half-Lab, half Pitbull who taught me how much joy and loyalty dogs bring to your life. 
I'm a very active person and while I have the most experience with medium to bigger sized dogs, I am open to walking all kinds. I'm reliable, patient and I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs. I'll treat each dog with the same care and attention I gave my own.
Available for walks around Ballincollig, I am happy to walk dogs whether they are vaccinated or not and I am usually available for longer walks if that suits your dog. I also drive so I can come to meet you if that is more suitable. Really looking forward to spending time with dogs again! I work from the office 2–3 half days per week, so I have good flexibility throughout the week. Mondays and Fridays are particularly suitable for me, as well as weekends. I’m also available for one-hour dog walks around lunchtime on most weekdays, as well as evening walks on most days depending on my work schedule. I’m happy to arrange a regular schedule or accommodate occasional walks where possible. I’ll always do my best to work around your dog’s routine and make sure they get the exercise, attention and care they need. I have a safe and secure home environment, including an enclosed back garden with full fencing, providing a secure space if a dog is ever in my care at home. I understand how important trust is when it comes to looking after pets, and I always prioritise safety, supervision, and consistency. I’m calm, responsible, and attentive with dogs, and I will treat every dog as if they were my own, ensuring they are comfortable, secure, and well looked after at all times.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for my own Labrador, Riley, who is 12 months old. I’m very comfortable with the day-to-day needs of a young, energetic dog, including walks, feeding, playtime, training, enrichment and plenty of cuddles. Riley has also given me experience with positive-reinforcement training, particularly lead walking, recall, basic commands and helping a young dog learn to stay calm around distractions. I’m comfortable managing different energy levels and making sure dogs get plenty of exercise while also having time to relax. I love being around dogs and would treat every dog in my care with the same patience, attention and affection that I give Riley. I work from home, so I’m around for most of the day and can give your dog plenty of attention, company and regular breaks. I’m happy to fit walks, playtime and rest around your dog’s usual routine, and I’m flexible with their individual needs. I have a secure, fenced garden where dogs can safely enjoy some outdoor time. I have my own friendly Labrador, Riley, who loves having doggy company and playing with other dogs. I don’t currently use a crate, but I have crate-trained Riley so I’m very comfortable following a dog’s existing crate routine if they’re used to one. I’ll always follow your instructions and make sure your dog feels comfortable and settled while staying with me.

About: I’ve always loved animals and have hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I have a 5 year old Yorkshire Terrier, so I’m very familiar with daily walks, feeding, playtime, grooming, and making sure dogs get plenty of love and attention. I regularly look after my neighbour’s dog and cat, including walking the dog, feeding both pets, and spending time playing with them. I’ve also pet sat for my cousin’s dog and cat for four days while they were away, making sure they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I’ll always treat your pets as if they were my own. I have a flexible schedule and can provide pet care throughout the week, including weekends. As a pet owner myself, caring for animals is already part of my daily routine. I’m available for dog walking, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and pet sitting, and I’ll always make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and care.

About: I’ve loved animals, especially dogs, since I was a child. Growing up in Brazil, I often saw dogs living on the streets and always wished I could bring them home and give them the care and affection they deserved. I don’t have a dog of my own in Ireland yet, so pet sitting is a lovely opportunity for me to spend time with animals while also earning some extra income. I’m caring, patient and responsible, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality and making them feel safe, comfortable and loved. I understand that every pet has different needs and routines, and I’m happy to follow your instructions carefully. For me, looking after a pet is more than just a job — it’s a chance to be around animals that constantly teach us about love, loyalty and companionship. ❤️🐶 My spacious living room and secure grassy backyard provide a safe, stimulating environment for pets.
