About: I grew up with a wide variety of pets of all sizes, from chickens to rabbits and rodents to dogs and cats! As a sitter I am attentive, enthusiastic, a life-long lover of all animals big and small, and I can promise to give your pet the best possible love and care as if they were my own! I always offer a preliminary meeting free of charge to introduce myself and discuss your pet’s needs, so you can be confident that I am the best suited sitter for your pet(s) before booking. With my long history of pet ownership and my experience as a volunteer at DSPCA's cat shelter, I am comfortable with cats of all temperaments and special needs, whether it be working with potential behavioural issues, basic training, administering medication, etc. I am also very happy to pet-sit for exotic animals! I am a recent university graduate so my working hours are highly flexible and I am happy to travel and pet-sit at short notice if needs be! I will be available to supervise your pet at all hours, ensuring they are comfortable and their needs are met. I also always have treats on hand! 😊

About: I had a dog in my childhood and since then have taken care of multiple dogs at once for work and also for my friends when needed I’m currently looking for a new job so I have full availability to look after your pet! I am available to travel and can also do day care at my house. I can potentially do overnight stay if requested I have experience taking care of pets so you can trust that your friendly fluff ball will be safe with me!

About: Without pets life would be less joyful. I enjoy spending time with dogs, not always on sweet laziness and fun, but also on training. I have experience in dog and cat care.

About: I’m a third year Animal Science student at University College Dublin with a huge passion for animal care and welfare. I regularly look after and walk my neighbours and family members dogs when they’re away, and I love spending time with dogs of all breeds and sizes. I also enjoy joining my friends on walks with their dogs whenever I can. I’m reliable, responsible, and caring, and I understand how important it is for pets to feel safe, happy, and well looked after. I’ll always treat your pet as if they were my own and make sure they receive plenty of exercise, attention, and affection while you’re away. I’m currently very flexible over the summer and am available for dog walking, drop-in visits, pet sitting, and feeding throughout the day, evenings, and weekends. I’ll be returning to college in September, but I’ll still be happy to work around my college timetable. I’ll do my best to accommodate to different schedules! Unfortunately, I can’t care for pets in my own home due to family health and allergy considerations. However, I’m more than happy to care for your pets in the comfort of their own home through drop-in visits, dog walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I understand that pets are happiest when they can stick to their usual routine, and I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, care, and affection while you’re away. I’ll always follow your instructions carefully and treat your pets as if they were my own.

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and absolutely love spending time with them. I grew up with a black Labrador who was part of the family for 14 years, followed by a lively Jack Russell, so I’m very familiar with different personalities and energy levels. Over the years I’ve also looked after many dogs for friends and family, from relaxed companions to high-energy explorers. While I don’t currently have a dog of my own, it just means I pour all that attention and affection into the dogs I care for. I love getting dogs out on proper adventures — long walks, hikes, and plenty of time exploring the outdoors. My goal is always to make sure they come home happy, exercised, and maybe just a little bit spoiled! My shift schedule gives me flexibility throughout the week, meaning I’m often available at times when others aren’t — including weekdays and daytime hours. When I’m minding a dog, I make sure they get lots of time, walks, and attention. Safety is very important to me when caring for dogs. I make sure leads and harnesses are secure, stay aware of the environment on walks, and avoid situations that could be stressful or unsafe. I’m happy to follow each dog’s routine and any specific instructions from their owner to keep them comfortable and safe.

“Egija was absolutely amazing with our doggie Honey, and a life save with such a last minute booking. She was so responsive with messaging and kept me updated at all times. Honey had the best time and can’t wait for her next outing!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs all my life and caring for them has always been second nature to me. I’ve minded many dogs over the years — of all sizes and personalities, including long dog-sitting stays such as a three-month sit and multiple week-long sits. I’m currently living in Dublin, having just moved home from Vancouver and I am working as an online personal trainer so my schedule is very flexible. I’m friendly, reliable, and always make sure dogs feel safe, loved, and well cared for on every walk or stay. I'm a personal trainer who fully works online, which gives me a flexible schedule. I enjoy taking breaks throughout the day to get fresh air, making dog walking a perfect fit. I’m mostly available during the week, but sometimes free on the weekends too. I care for pets by sticking closely to their usual routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions carefully, keep their space safe and tidy, and provide updates and photos. I’m calm, reliable, and always prioritize a pet’s comfort, safety, and wellbeing.

About: With four years as a chihuahua owner and one year with a cat, I bring real, hands on experience to every sit. I understand small breed quirks the anxiety, the big personality, the need for warmth and routine. And cats? I'm genuinely obsessed. I know how to earn their trust on their terms, not mine. I'm comfortable with multi-pet households, senior animals, and spotting when something feels "off." Your pets won't just be supervised they'll be loved by someone who truly understands them. Im currently working a very short amount of time in the mornings 9am-11am and some other times for other times Im fully free to take care of the pet and exercise, have fun with them! :)) So I wont leave them more than 5h. I am not available to take pets at my house currently due to the safety environment and non stressful area for the dog and my sister's allergy. So boarding isn't working with me but house sitting is completely fine with me and I am also okay with cameras in specific spots.

About: started pet sitting during my first year of college, mainly caring for pets belonging to family and friends. Since then, I’ve looked after a range of dogs, from larger breeds such as Bernese Mountain Dogs and my own Labrador Retriever to smaller breeds like Toy Poodles. I also have a cat at home, so I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats. I’m used to adapting to different pets and their individual routines, personalities, and needs. I understand that every pet is different, so I always try to follow their usual routine and give them the attention and care they’re used to. I’m comfortable with regular walks, feeding, playtime, and keeping pets company while their owners are away. I’m also happy to follow any specific instructions or routines that your pet may have. Most importantly, I’m reliable, patient, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. As I’m currently at university, I have a very flexible schedule as I only have a few lectures each week. This means I have plenty of availability for pet sitting and can fit visits, walks, and care around my schedule. I’m also able to be flexible with timings and work around the individual routine and needs of your pet. I only provide pet care in the owner’s home, as I think this allows pets to stay in a familiar and comfortable environment while their owners are away. I make sure to follow their usual routine and any specific instructions they have provided, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any other care they may need. I’m respectful of the owner’s home and always make sure everything is kept clean and secure. I understand how important it is to trust someone with both your pet and your home, so I take the responsibility seriously and will keep you updated while you’re away so you can rest assured that your pet is happy and safe.

About: Hey there! I am an easy-going and organised person. I love pets, especially cats, though dogs have a special place too. I know cats and dogs have different personalities, but we can find a common language. If your furry friend is ready to play for the whole day, I am happy to help, and if they prefer calm and relaxed atmosphere, I am good with that too. I have always lived with cats and now I miss my cat back home, her name is Masha and she is very playful. So I will bring all of that love to your friend. I send daily photos so you can be sure your pet is having a great time. I am currently not working so I can give my full attention to your pet. I can adjust to their schedule. I am available during whole week - weekdays and weekends I follow the instructions you provide. If you let your pets outside, on a walk or just your garden, I will let them too. I have a big room and pets can go on tables, beds, and anywhere they want. I have a balcony but I keep it close.

About: My love for animals isn't just a feeling; it's the core of who I am and why I've chosen to be a pet sitter. From my earliest memories, animals have brought immense joy and fulfillment to my life. I genuinely adore connecting with every furry personality, finding deep satisfaction in ensuring their happiness and well-being. My commitment goes beyond just cuddles and walks, though those are definitely a highlight! I've dedicated years to understanding animal health and behavior, having attended Veterinary College. This rigorous academic background equipped me with a comprehensive understanding of animal physiology, common ailments, and the critical importance of preventative care. While I’m not a practicing vet, this knowledge allows me to recognize subtle changes in an animal's health or demeanor, ensuring I can act quickly and appropriately should any concerns arise. You can rest assured that your pet will be in knowledgeable hands. Furthermore, I have plenty of experience with dog behavior. I've spent countless hours studying canine communication, training techniques, and how to create a calm and positive environment for dogs of all breeds and temperaments. Whether your dog needs help with leash manners, has specific anxieties, or simply thrives on routine, I'm adept at reading their cues and responding in a way that promotes their well-being and happiness. My goal is to provide not just supervision, but a truly enriching experience for your pet, giving you complete peace of mind while you're away.

About: Mi occupo della cura degli animali da più di tre anni ho conseguito un patentino, sullo specifico dog walker, ho diverse competenze dalla lettura,della posizione del corpo del cane, orecchie, mascelle, pelo espressioni occhi e zampe. So esattamente chi ho di fronte a me ogni volta che porto fuori il cane in passeggiata. Le mie passeggiate vengono svolte sempre in una situazione di controllo ma anche di divertimento secondo le indicazioni dei proprietari. Per il cane Anzio è e’ diverso ha tempi più lenti, si può stare snche al parco seduti uno accanto all’altro facendoci tante coccole. Posso dispensare medicine. Per quanto mi riguarda per me è il mio unico lavoro, e’ una passione che ho iniziato in Italia e vorrei continuare qui. Il mio lavoro combaciera’ esattamente con la mia routine familiare.🙂 Quando vado a casa del proprietario, sarà esattamente avvisato, con foto e video, mi curo oltre che della routine del gatto, in caso posso disperdere medicine, anche della pulizia oltre che lettiera, anche del pavimento dove sporca, pulizie ciottole. E’ una cura a 360 gradi anche di dove al gatto piace stare. Coccole e gioco a seconda dell’età. Tutto in tempo reale con foto e video.

About: I am currently a UCD veterinary student studying from America. I have a deep love for all pets and treat them all as I would my own. Back in America, I have a mixed breed dog and two cats that I care for. I have experience working as a veterinary nurse in America for about 2 years. I also have experience dog sitting for family and friends. I was heavily involved with dog walks with the local shelter dogs in Orlando Florida. The health, safety, and level of trust with your pet is my number one priority. I am not currently boarding at my house due to living on campus but I am actively looking to move off of campus and will board at my house then! I am a current veterinary student so I love any and all time to play and relax with your pets!! My schedule gives us lunches off so I would be able to come drop by during lunch and I also get weekends off! The week to week schedule varies sometimes during the weekdays but I am very flexible and willing to work with you! I have experience dog sitting at many people’s homes. What I find the most important while dog watching is the health and safety of your pet. Being a veterinary student and working in clinics I always aim to be hyper aware of any potential safety problems while dog sitting. When dog walking, I have experience walking poorly leashed dogs at the shelter and allowing them to become comfortable on the leash.

About: I have three pets at home two cats and a large dog, I also take care of my grandmothers cat when she isn’t well.
