About: I have years of experience caring for pets of all ages, from playful puppies to gentle seniors. I love giving walks, cuddles, and extra attention, and I’m experienced in puppy training and caring for pets with special needs. Every furry friend I care for gets love, patience, and treats like they’re part of my own family. I love caring for pets every day! I’m available Monday to Sunday (except during my English class 1–4:30 PM, Mon–Fri), and I make sure every furry friend gets walks, cuddles, and lots of love. I care for pets in their own home with love and attention. I follow their routine, give walks, playtime, cuddles, and make sure they feel safe and happy. Every pet is treated like part of my own family!

About: As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to find someone trustworthy to care for your pet. I provide reliable, attentive, and loving care, with regular updates and photos for peace of mind. 🐾 Caring for dogs is part of my everyday life. I have three large dogs of my own, so daily walks, feeding, exercise, and playtime are already built into my routine. This makes it easy for me to provide reliable and attentive care for other pets as well. 🐾 In a pet owner’s home, I make sure pets maintain their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and relaxed. I spend quality time with them, provide companionship, playtime, fresh water, meals, and regular walks.

About: I spent many summers taking care of my family's dogs; I used to have a Labrador, but currently I have a cat who thinks he's a dog—he's really not afraid. I love cats and dogs. Currently I work the night shift from 3 PM to midnight. I have free time to walk your pet or visit them in the morning or early afternoon. I live in a building on the third floor, I have a park nearby to walk in, and my house is safe because I don't have access to the street.

About: I grew up constantly surrounded by pets including dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, and more so I have always been connected to animals and have been pet-sitting for a long time. I am comfortable with a wide range of sizes and breeds. Beyond their basic needs, I am also comfortable administering routine medication, accommodating to each dog’s special needs, and reinforcing any preexisting training during our time together. I am currently writing my master's thesis, so I have plenty of time to keep your cats company! Since my schedule is flexible, I am able to easily move things around to best fit your and your pet’s needs. Having grown up with many pets from a young age and having experience pet-sitting a variety of dogs + cats, I am able to easily spot possible hazards and know how to create a comfortable environment for them. From timid to extroverted dogs, I know how to read their body language, respect their boundaries, and nurture a good relationship with them.

About: My name is Timi, originally from Hungary, but I grew up in Spain. I live here in Cork for 7 years and got the citizenship. I live with my 17 year old son. I work from home with a very flexible work schedule. I grew up with a German Shepherd and a Labrador and two house cats. I worked in three big pet shops in Budapest. We were selling hamsters, birds, bunnies, different type of lizards, tarantulas, snakes, turtles, tortoises, mice, rats, guinea pigs, ferrets, fish, chameleons, chinchillas, chipmunks, and other small pets. We also had grey parrots, and I made friends with a cockatoo. I had an Irish Setter that I loved very much. Then, I had a Basset Hound, a Chinese soft-shell turtle, and a Persian cat at the same time. Later, while working in the pet store, I took in a pregnant hamster that had 15 pups. I also had dwarf hamsters and guppies. I went to the Budapest Zoo two times a year where I could feed the elephants by handing them an apple or a carrot. It was an amazing experience. I also visited a country side zoo where I could pet lion cubs for a short time, and a Zoo cafe where you could hold onto different small pets. I moved to Spain where I had 10 budgies in an aviary on the balcony, and rescued a rosy-faced lovebird and a yellow-collard lovebird. They fell in love with each other and became a couple. I have a cat here in Cork. (He can be separated from your pets). I made friends with a robin who was coming to my hand for two years. He was also coming into my room to eat. I have some magpie friends who are coming to my window to ask for dry cat food. I live in a terraced house with a small garden and plenty of room. I am happy to host your cat-friendly dog or dogs that aren't violent to cats, or any small pets you have for nights as well. I can fully separate your pet from my cat as I have a back entrance to the house too. I can also take your dog for a walk if you live in my area as I don’t have a car. I also would be happy to mind your hamster, bird, reptile, or any other small animal you have. I have experience with most of them due to working in pet shops for many years. Unfortunately, I cannot host cats due to their territorial nature that could drive my cat away from home. But I am happy to do daily visits to cats to their home. I can also do drop-in visits to your small pets, feed them, and clean their space. I am available any time. I am always home. I can send you photos and updates about your pet anytime. I am working from home Mon-Thu 5 pm, Fri 4 pm. I can also walk your dog on any weekend or bank holiday if you live in Cork City or around, Ballinlough, or Douglas. I have a fenced small garden and a good sized living space. I can host only cat-friendly dogs or dogs that aren't violent to cats as I have an outdoor cat. My cat is neutered and vaccinated. I can fully separate your pet from my cat as I also have a backdoor that he uses when I am minding dogs. Your pet and my cat will never meet.

About: 📢 Contact me with your pets' needs. I'll be delighted to check my calendar and see how I can fit them into my schedule! 💚 I've grown up with cats and dogs, between my house and the grandparents. I am attentive and aware each is different and may have different requirements. I am working part time and live in the city centre so can help you out to ensure your baby is looked after when you're not there! My cats are indoor only. I have a strict feeding schedule and ensure they have both cuddle and playtime with me. I have created an engaging environment for them with a cat wheel, toys that suit them etc. I am particularly attentive to cleanliness as cats enjoy a neat environment.

About: I grew up with dogs, specifically a Jack Russell with attitude, and a Golden Labrador that was friendly, fun and stubborn. As an adult I have had cats, who gave come with their own personalities. I love dogs and cats of all sorts and love to see their personality shine through exercise and attention. I have lots of flexibility with my current job and looking to add some cat time!. I'm free most weekday mornings and early afternoons. Availability for some weekends. Cats have lots of personality - I like to adapt to their needs from the cats who never want to interact with you to those that want cuddles and playtime.

About: Hi! I’m Erin, a reliable and caring animal lover with hands-on experience caring for my own dogs, a pug and a cocker spaniel. Growing up with dogs, hamsters and birds has given me a deep understanding of different personalities, energy levels, and routines.

🐶 I’m passionate about being a pet sitter because I love spending time with dogs and making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I adapt my approach to each dog’s needs, whether that’s a calm, relaxed walk or something more active and engaging.

🦮 Walks typically last between 30 minutes and an hour, depending on what suits your dog best. When caring for multiple pets, I ensure each one gets individual attention and is handled safely and calmly. My experience with dogs means I know how to stay calm and respond effectively in unexpected situations, from minor scrapes to vet visits.

🚗 I'm based in Douglas, and I have a full, clean driving license. 

I pride myself on being dependable and attentive, and I provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.


😁 I'm happy to answer any questions and provide more info - drop me a text any time! I currently work part-time, so I’m available for dog walks, home visits, and pet sitting. I’m available after 4:30pm Tuesday to Friday, and fully available Saturday to Monday. I currently don’t care for pets of any kind in my home at the moment, due to my two dogs individual needs right now.

About: Since I was 12, I’ve been walking a Jack Russell several times a week. Over the years, I've also cared for my friends' dogs while they were away. Now that I’ve moved from the Netherlands to Cork, I really miss being around dogs, so I’m looking forward to meeting yours! I started studying at UCC this September, so the walks/visits will be scheduled around my college timetable. I'm fully available on most fridays, saturdays, and sundays. I'm happy to visit your house to walk your dog, play with them for a bit, or stay longer if needed. I'll make sure they get the attention and exercise they need.

About: Dedicated, Experienced, and Reliable Pet Sitter in Ireland – Attention, affection, safety, and basic training for your dog or cat as if they were family! I am passionate about animals and offer responsible, attentive, and loving care for dogs and cats. I have no allergies and a degree in Biomedicine, which allows me to administer medication safely and responsibly, ensuring the well-being of your pet in any situation. In addition, I have knowledge of basic training, such as "sit," "stay," "lie down," and permission commands, helping to reinforce positive behaviors and discipline in your pet in a gentle and effective way. I have practical experience gained in Brazil, where I cared for Moana, a 6-year-old Border Collie who needed full-time attention 24 hours a day, at least 2 days a week, for almost a year, developing a routine of intensive care, affection, and constant monitoring. I also cared for Bruce, a 3-year-old Labrador, taking him for 40-minute walks three times a week, in addition to taking him for vaccinations, baths, and daycare. I am dedicated, careful, and treat each animal as unique, respecting their needs, routine, and personality. Your pet will be in good hands, with love, responsibility, quality attention, and support in basic training! I make house calls by arrangement, or overnight stays as well. My pet walks last an average of 30 minutes. In case of emergencies, I contact the nearest veterinarian, notify the pet owners, or inform the family's trusted veterinarian. We can stay in touch during walks in whatever way the pet owners prefer. My schedule is as follows: I study English from Monday to Thursday in the city centre from 1 pm to 5 pm. I am available in the mornings, on Fridays, weekends, and also on public holidays. I am not working full-time or part-time, as I am fully dedicated to caring for pets. I offer pet care for both cats and dogs, including walks, visits, and general care. With my experience, especially with dog walking, I can recognize signs of danger or discomfort in pets. I am punctual and always follow the owner’s instructions carefully. I can send photos and videos of the pet if the owner is not nearby, and during walks I provide updates when I arrive and when the walk is finished. In case of any emergency, I will contact the owner immediately and, if necessary, reach out to the nearest veterinarian or the family’s trusted vet

About: I grew up surrounded by dogs and farm animals, so caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. As an adult, I’ve continued sharing my life with both dogs and cats, and I truly enjoy spending time with them. I’m a biologist, and I’ve even had the chance to help with rabies vaccination campaigns in Africa alongside specialized veterinarians for several years. Friends and family often trust me to take care of their pets when they need a hand. I love going for walks, playing, and just hanging out with animals, it never feels like work to me! I am currently learning academic english in UCC and I am able to work after classes. I am available from 2pm onwards on Mondays and Tuesdays and the whole day on Fridays and weekends. I am free to overnight if needed. I am very flexible. I prefer to care for pets at the clients home; I live in a house that already have 3 dogs and bringing a extra pet will not be suitable. I will follow all the instructions from the client conscientiously on how the pet needs to be cared. Each pet have their own ways and it is very important to embrace their needs and personalities.

About: I have two small dogs of my own. Close to city centre. Back yard, dogs have access to always. House dogs. Your dog will be in the house with my two and they will be walked daily at least once and more weather dependent. No rules for your doggy unless instructed. Your dog will be treated the same as my own, always in my company with exception of short periods if I have to go to shop (some office hours which I will pre agree) and will also be in my company at night while they sleep to ambient relaxing dog music/white noise. Small and miniature dogs only really. I will consider small/medium if they are calm. Dogs always have access to the outside via flap and will be with my two in the event non supervision is agreed if I have to go to office for a while, with visibility always via cameras. Thank you for taking the time to read and I will provide the best care and comfort for your dog in your absence with regular updates, photos and videos.
