About: Hi! I'm Nat, a 25-year-old pet lover from Brazil. I grew up surrounded by animals and have always had a deep love and respect for them. My family owns a pet shop in Brazil, so l've been in contact with animals for as long as I can remember — helping out, learning about different breeds, and understanding how to care for them properly. At home, I have two dogs and four cats who are truly part of the family. Taking care of them has taught me responsibility, patience, and how to connect with each pet's unique personality. Now living in Ireland, l'm excited to share this love by caring for other people's pets as if they were my own. I offer pet care exclusively in the owner's home, where your furry friend feels most comfortable and safe. Whether it's for walks, playtime, feeding, or just some company, I'll make sure your pet is happy, relaxed, and well looked after while you're away. I can walk, take care of your pet in your home. I currently have my mornings free and attend classes from 1PM to 5PM, which means I’m also available in the evenings. On Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, I’m fully available all day for pet sitting (cats and dogs) and dog walking. My flexible schedule makes it easy to fit pet care into my daily routine, and I’m happy to adapt to your pet’s needs. I care for both cats and dogs with love, patience, and full attention to their individual needs. I have years of experience with my own cats and dogs in Brazil and have recently been looking after both cats and dogs here in Ireland. I always follow the pet’s routine carefully, including feeding, cleaning, playtime, and any special instructions. Whether your pet is playful or shy, I aim to create a calm and safe environment where they feel happy and secure just like at home.


About: Dog Lover with no dog! I can’t commit to a full-time dog myself at the moment but need to fill that void! Love a dog in the house and often mind my family’s various dogs. Walking just feels wasted without a dog to enjoy it with! I have an enclosed secure garden and working from home means I am there to keep your dog company and provide lunchtime walks as well! There are lots of lovely parks nearby in Ballinlough, Blackrock and the Tramore Valley Park is a short drive away. At the weekend I love to head to the beach at Fountainstown where dogs just have the best time when the tide is out. There are lots of new dogs to meet and play with and/or great space to explore and just potter about doing their own thing! You will have no worries when you leave your dog with me and my daughter. We will take great care of your best buddy. 😊

About: I really love animals, especially dogs! Until last month, I lived with 6 dogs of different sizes in Argentina. They were part of my family, and I always took care of them with love. I also helped my neighbors by looking after their dogs when they traveled I’m very affectionate and careful with pets I study in the mornings from Monday to Thursday, in the afternoons I would love to take care of your pets, I also have full time available on Fridays and weekends. With me, dogs are guaranteed lots of love and care. I’ll walk them, feed them, and make sure they get everything they need. If they enjoy bath time, I’ll happily take care of that too! I treat every pet as if they were my own

About: Hi! My name is Andrea and I’m an experienced and reliable pet carer based in Cork. I've taken care of dogs for friends and family while they were away, including daily walks, playtime, feeding routines, and lots of love! I understand how important it is to keep pets happy, safe, and comfortable — especially when their owners are away. At home, I have two wonderful rescue dogs: one is a pitbull and the other is a medium-sized mixed breed. Living with them has taught me a lot about dog behavior, especially how to respect their boundaries and emotional cues. I am happy to help with daily walks, feeding, playtime, and giving your pet the attention and care they deserve. I also live in a quiet area with easy access to parks and green spaces, making it ideal for calm and safe walks. Looking forward to meeting your furry friend! 🐶💛 I’m currently studying in the afternoons, which means I’m available for walks and pet sitting in the mornings (before 12 PM), evenings (after 6 PM), and on weekends. I’m happy to adjust based on your pet’s routine whenever possible! My pitbull isn’t very social with other animals, so I’ve learned how to carefully observe body language and avoid uncomfortable or unsafe situations for both pets and people. Your dog’s well-being is always my top priority.

About: I grew up in a small town, spending lots of time at my grandmother’s countryside home, where I helped care for many animals — dogs, cats, birds, and even small rodents. That’s where my love for animals truly began. Throughout my teenage years, I had pets of my own, and for the past 8 years, I’ve been the proud human of two wonderful cats, Moira and Benjamin. I’ve also worked at a pet shop, where I learned even more about animal care. Animals have always been a big part of my life — sometimes, I think I connect with them even more than with people. I treat every pet with kindness, respect, and genuine affection. I currently have a very flexible schedule and can adapt to most times — just let me know in advance and we can arrange everything! While I’m not able to host pets in my home, I’m more than happy to visit yours and give your furry friend the care and attention they deserve. My priority is always to take care of your pet’s basic needs first — food, hygiene, medication (if needed), and comfort. After that, I focus on what I call their “emotional care”: playtime, cuddles, walks, or simply keeping them company, depending on their personality. I also keep pet parents updated with photos and videos, so you always know your fur baby is happy and safe.

Andrea Alejandra E.
“I totally recommend Andrea; she is a nice person with a lot of topics to discuss! She took care of my two dogs (Golden Retriever and Maltese). I noticed that my dogs were very happy, and she has a big heart for animals. My Golden Retriever doesn't usually like strangers, but with her, he was very playful. Thank you so much, Andrea!”


Afonso Ivo C.
“Afonso was great with my dog Skye! He was very good with her as she is a high energy border collie springer spaniel cross. She loves to play fetch and he kept up with her letting her get much needed exercise while I am unable to walk due to a foot injury. He was very patient and gentle with her and she was very receptive to him. I would recommend him to anyone who is looking for a patient dog sitter as he is clearly very good with animals!”
