House Sitting Drogheda

About: I have always loved animals and have had hands-on experience caring for them throughout my life. I grew up riding horses and was involved in their day-to-day care, which helped me develop a natural understanding of animal behaviour and the importance of patience, consistency and responsibility. I have also previously cared for guinea pigs and rabbits, giving me experience with different types of pets and their individual needs. I don’t currently have pets of my own, so I am excited to have the opportunity to spend time with and care for other people’s pets. I will always treat your pet with patience, kindness and plenty of attention! I am also comfortable following specific feeding, walking, medication or care instructions I work full-time during the week, but I am available in the evenings and throughout weekends for pet care. I can be flexible around different schedules and will always make sure I can give your pet the time and attention they need. I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual routine, whether that means evening walks, weekend visits, feeding, playtime or simply keeping them company while you’re away. I’m reliable, organised and will always follow any specific instructions you leave for your pet. I understand how important it is to feel confident that your pet is safe and well cared for while you’re away. I take the time to get to know each pet and their individual routine, including their feeding, walking, exercise and any specific care instructions. When caring for a pet in their home, I will always treat their environment with the same care and respect as I would my own. I will make sure doors, gates and other secure areas are properly closed, keep pets supervised and follow any instructions provided by their owner. I am responsible, attentive and patient, and I will always prioritise your pet’s safety and wellbeing. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

About: I’ve grown up with animals all my life. Dogs, cats, bunnies, birds, etc. At the moment I have 2 dogs myself and often mind my grannys cat. I currently work part time 9-2 Tuesday - Friday. I drive so I have no problem doing overnight stays during the week, as well as weekends! I will make sure to have a chat with you about your pets needs before the sit to ensure I can keep your pet happy while you’re not around :)

About: From having my own cat since I was 3 years old to minding pets of family and friends, I have experienced and handled a lot of situations calmly and carefully, as I understand that animals don’t respond well to panic. I am a calm person who truly loves any animal with my whole heart. I am currently in college 3 days a week and I return home early every day. My studies can be done from home if needed, making my schedule very flexible. I have a fenced garden with a green area for pets to explore, I have a cat litter box and many pet toys. But most importantly, my primary way to care for pets is to give them the love and attention they deserve.

“Laura was excellent. She took great care of our 18 year old cat and 2 and a half year old dog in our home. Communication was very good. She sent updates and videos! We’ll definitely book Laura again!”

Whether it’s high-energy playtime, calm companionship, or special dietary routines, I adapt to give each pup the best care possible. Currently I'm working part time I have time at night or at morning like 6 am because also I'm studying 9 to 12pm My shift could 6am to 7am or 7pm to 10 pm In My Home: When pets stay with me, they become part of the family. I provide a safe, clean, and cozy environment with plenty of supervised playtime, snuggles, and a consistent routine. I stick to their usual feeding schedule, offer daily walks or backyard time, and keep them mentally engaged with toys and affection. I also make sure they have a quiet space to relax or nap if they need it. In the Pet Owner’s Home: When caring for pets in their own home, I aim to keep things as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow all instructions closely—from feeding and walk routines to medication and bedtime habits. I respect their space, keep things tidy, and send regular updates so pet parents know their furry friends are in good hands.

About: I’ve always had dogs in my life. I had a Jack russel terrier when I was 3 till he was about 14 and I was always walking , feeding him up until his last years. We adopted a Labrador retriever nearly 3 years ago this month who me and my family love and adore! So I’m not afraid of big lively dogs whatsoever! We also recently adopted my granny who passed away a couple months ago. We knew it wouldn’t be right for them to go to a home or shelter as they are both over the ages of ten! So we adopted them into our home. A cute little Shih tzu and a terrier! Not only have I grown up with dogs in my immediate family I have been taking care of my family dogs too. Every summer I used to head up to limerick and walk my granny’s and cousins dogs while they were at work everyday. I’ve taken care of neighbours dogs and walked them too. I have such love and passion for any type or size of dog!! I’m currently studying criminology in college but I am finished up next week! I work a couple shifts in the theatre bar in the arts centre in drogheda and pick up shifts in sonairte when I can! So my schedule is quite flexible during the week and on weekends! I have a fenced back garden with enough space for your dogs to run around! If your dog doesn’t get along great with other dogs I can easily crate or put your dog in a separate room to mine. I will always accommodate to your dogs needs!

If the service is at your house, I will strictly follow their feeding routines, walks, and home rules.

“Kylah looked after my cat Diego, she was a brilliant, nothing was too much trouble and she kept me updated while I was away with regular pictures! She was lovely with him, and it was clear he was happy and comfortable with her. I’d definitely book Kylah again to look after Diego and would recommend her to any cat owners. 😊”

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs and cats and caring for them all my life, both at home and with family members.

About: I'm a part-time writer who's originally from the USA but has lived in Ireland for close to four decades. I grew up in a house full of dogs, from collies to Saint Bernards, and learned to handle various dogs as a paperboy. Today I live in Drumcondra in central Dublin with partner Dawn and 16-year-old son Harry. Our home is missing our beloved Fonzie, our rescue dog of 17 years, who passed away in 2024. I've been thinking about taking up dog walking/boarding ever since, in part because I'm an avid walker (and no longer an avid writer!). On my near-daily walks I'm always talking to fellow hikers with dogs, and it just seems a missed opportunity not to have a dog with me, too. So I'm open to tailoring walks that really suit your dog, even daylong adventures with a picnic somewhere nice in the middle. If your dog would be staying overnight, or longer, it'll be even better, because my partner Dawn is the true dog fanatic in the family. It'll be nonstop cuddles once she's home. One key commitment from me is that your dog will feel at home, in a family environment, and will never be left alone. That includes nighttime, when I'll be sleeping in the living room nearby your dog (who I am betting will get a particularly good night's sleep, despite the unfamiliar environment, given all the exercise!). Because of our experience caring for Fonzie, who had mobility issues in his final years, I've also got a soft spot for looking after older dogs. I certainly won't be pushing your dog to walk more than he or she wants. We'll make sure the activity level/duration is appropriate for age, breed and overall health, following your own instructions closely. I'm a freelance writer, with the freedom to pick (or skip) assignments given that I'm approaching retirement age and frankly more interested in getting out for my own daily walk! If your dog is with me, I won't be getting distracted by work. We'll just walk somewhere nice and meet some other dogs along the way. In my home, your dog will be encouraged to sleep on a dog bed in the living room, but I'm not precious. We do have a comfy and well-worn leather sofa that Fonzie certainly preferred and your dog will be welcome to it, if the dog bed doesn't appeal. I'll stay overnight in the living room with your dog. I'll want to keep my visitor company and ensure there's no wimpering. For any quick potty breaks, we have parkland directly outside our home, so we'll go out at night and first thing in the morning, get some food, and then perhaps head out for a longer walk with snacks in the backpack. If you need me to look after your dog overnight in your own home, I'll simply follow whatever your instructions are. I'm a man of simple tastes, so you won't need to make any special accommodations for me.

I work doing events and it varies with hours a lot but I would like to do this job and fit it into my daily routine as it’s something more suited to my personality. I’ve been caring for my dog, a 14 year old parson russel terrier since I was 10 years old. Over the years ive handled everything from daily walks and feeding to understanding their changing needs as they’ve gotten older. I make sure he gets plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, and love while keeping up with health concerns and vet visits.

I’ve grown up with animals and have looked after a wide range of pets across Australia, Ireland and beyond, from playful puppies and relaxed cats to birds and even cheeky chickens.
