About: I've been surrounded by animals my whole life. I had a dog when I was little, and for the last 12 years, I'm the mom of a little furball cat. I've looked after dogs and cats for some friends at different times in my life. Recently, here in Cork, after looking a friend's cats, I decided to use my love for animals to help people like my friend who have to travel and can't take care of their furry friends. I recently stopped working due to back problems and I would love to be able to dedicate my free time to helping and caring furry friends. I live in a shared apartment, so it's easier to care for the animals in their own homes. I'm a clean and organized person, and I have no problem picking up droppings or cleaning cat litter. When you return to your home, it will be as if you were never gone.
