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 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: Lifelong dog lover with years of experience caring for small and medium breeds. My pet care philosophy focuses on patience, love, and ensuring every walk is a fun adventure. I’m a big fan of walking and staying active, and there’s nothing better than having a sweet pup keep me company along the way! I attend a part-time English school midday, which makes my schedule very flexible! I am available for pet sitting every night, including weekends. I am also free in the mornings before 12:00 PM and in the evenings after 5:00 PM—perfect for an energetic morning stroll to start the day or a relaxing evening walk before bedtime. I offer house sitting services, so your pup can stay safe and comfortable in their own familiar environment. I am a calm, peaceful person, and for me, this isn't just work—I truly love and cherish the companionship of animals.

About: Hi! I’m Sofía, a huge animal lover from Mexico living in Cork. And when I say animal lover, I mean it from ants to whales 🐜🐋 Every single creature has my heart. I’ve had pets my whole life and I’ve done pet sitting before, so I truly understand how nerve-wracking it can be to leave your baby with someone new. That’s why I’d love to hear everything about them before we even start — their favourite games, their little habits, what makes them feel safe. The more I know, the better I can care for them! I’m available for morning visits and evenings from 6pm to 10pm. I can take them for walks (30 min to 1 hour), play with them, feed them, bathe them, give medication if needed, and honestly just give them all the love and attention they deserve. Park trips or any fun outing? Absolutely yes 🐶🌳 I’ll keep you updated every single day with photos and videos, and if you miss them too much, we can always do a video call so you can see your furry baby happy and thriving 🥰 I only care for vaccinated pets and I’d love to do a meet and greet first so we can all get comfortable together. Can’t wait to meet your pet! 💖 I am currently working part time near MTU, so I have plenty of availability during weekdays (mornings until 1:30PM & after 6PM) and weekends (full availability). I am the kind of person who treats pets as if they’re human so I’d introduce myself and make sure they seem comfortable with me. I like to make sure they are well feed and have enough water. Sharing photos and videos is a most to make sure I’m doing things the way you would and you also get to see your furry baby

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: I’ve loved animals since childhood, growing up surrounded by cats, dogs, birds, guinea pigs, rabbits, and even chickens. My dream has always been to become a veterinarian, and this passion guides the way I care for every animal. In Brazil, I have a 2-year-old small dog who is lovingly cared for by my mother-in-law, another devoted dog lover. All the pets I’ve had throughout my life were adopted from shelters, because I believe every animal deserves a safe, loving home. I’ve also volunteered at animal shelters, helping abandoned animals receive care, comfort, and attention.


 I bring this same dedication to my work as a pet sitter. I adapt easily to each pet’s individual needs—whether they’re playful, shy, senior, or need extra care. I’m attentive to routines such as feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, and potty breaks, always following the owner’s instructions to maintain consistency and comfort. During walks, I prioritize safety by choosing calm routes, keeping a secure leash, and watching for any stress signals.


 For home visits or house sitting, I provide constant supervision, keep the environment clean, follow medication schedules if needed, and ensure pets feel relaxed and emotionally supported. My goal is for every pet to feel safe, loved, and at home while their family is away. Responsible, trustworthy, and compassionate, I treat every animal as if they were my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I truly enjoy spending time with animals. I’m organized, responsible, and able to dedicate time and attention to feeding, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and companionship. I’ve experience caring for dogs and understand the importance of patience, routine, and affection. I’m also a part-time student, so I attend school during the afternoons, but I still have flexibility to provide loving and reliable care before and after classes. I also keep pet owners updated with photos and messages so they can feel comfortable and confident while they are away. I provide a calm, safe, and loving environment for pets, always respecting their routine and personality. In a pet owner’s home, I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, medication, playtime, and house rules to help pets feel comfortable and secure. I’m attentive, patient, and detail-oriented, making sure pets are supervised and well cared for at all times. I do not smoke or drink, and I treat every pet with kindness, affection, and responsibility, just like they are part of the family. I also do not have any other pets in my home, which helps provide a quieter and more comfortable environment for the animals in my care.

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 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: 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: I am an animal lover and I'm not afraid to admit that my dog is my best friend. I enjoy the outdoors and with an energetic Jack Russell who loves his walks and spins in the car are a must. Dogs give us nothing but love so the least I can do is show them love & care when they stay in my home. I live with my semi retired uncle who loves having the company of a dog in the house and I also rent a room to students so the dogs staying with me will never be on their own too long. I have a front garden & enclosed back garden. I also live close to walkways so they will have plenty of exercise. I run a calm and comfortable house. Dogs in my care can come to relax and chill out or play and run around with my little terrier. I give the dogs the run of the downstairs areas of my home so they will not be confined to small spaces or just one room.

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.
