About: Hi! I’m Latifah, and I pet sit together with my partner, Shane. We’re both huge animal lovers and have grown up around pets, particularly dogs and cats. We’ve previously house-sat together while looking after two dogs for an extended period and genuinely loved it. We’re very comfortable with the normal day-to-day stuff like feeding, walks, playtime, keeping them company and, providing an unreasonable amount of attention (our dog demands lots of pets and cuddles 😹). We both work remotely running our own businesses, which means we’re around during the day rather than disappearing off to work for 8 hours. We do still go out and explore, grab food or run errands, but we’ll always plan around your pet’s normal routine. If your pet has particular needs around how long they can be left alone, just let us know and we can discuss what works before booking. We’re especially happy to consider longer stays and bookings anywhere around Ireland. We have our own car, so we’re not restricted to our local area. Whether you’re in Wexford, Cork, Donegal, Galway or somewhere we’ve never even heard of, we’re happy to travel for the right booking. Getting to discover another part of Ireland is actually part of what we enjoy about pet sitting. We’re homeowners and short-term rental hosts ourselves, so we completely understand that you’re not only trusting someone with your pets, you’re trusting them with your home too. We’ll treat both with the same care and respect we’d want someone to have with ours, keep things tidy and happily send updates while you’re away. Every animal is different, so we’re happy to stick to whatever routine they’re used to e.g., walks, feeding schedules, medication, sleeping arrangements, favourite toys, whatever keeps them happy and comfortable. One important thing to know is that Shane and I always sit together, so there will be two of us staying in your home and looking after your pets. We’re more than happy to meet beforehand, virtually or in person, so you can get to know us. Ultimately, we want you to be able to go away knowing your pets have company, affection, their normal routine and two people looking out for them. Hope to hear from you! Latifah & Shane We both work remotely running our own businesses, so luckily there’s no disappearing off to an office for 8 hours a day. Our schedules are very flexible and we’ll plan work, errands and exploring around your pet’s normal routine. We’re especially happy with longer stays and are flexible with dates, weekdays and weekends. We care for pets in their own home, where they’re already comfortable and familiar with their surroundings. We’ll follow whatever routine you leave for us, including feeding times, walks, medication, sleeping arrangements and any house rules or quirks we need to know about. We’re also homeowners and Airbnb hosts ourselves, so we understand the trust involved in having someone stay in your home. We’ll treat it with the same respect we’d expect for our own, keep things tidy and make sure everything is secure while you’re away. We’re also happy to send regular photos and updates so you know everyone is happy and accounted for

“Ruth is amazing pet sitter! She looked after our dog Sammy incredibly well, and he loved her straight away. She kindly facilitated a collection of him and stayed overnight with him in our home. She was great with communication and for giving us updates. We’re delighted that Sammy was in such safe hands with Ruth and we would highly recommend her!”

About: Hi! I’m Han, an experienced dog lover offering dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting in your home.
I grew up around dogs and currently have two family dogs of my own – a puppy and a senior dog – so I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all ages, energy levels, and personalities. I also have experience caring for pets with additional needs, including blind and deaf dogs. One of my own beloved dogs, Baxter, is a blind Welsh Springer Spaniel, so I understand the patience, consistency, and attention that some pets require.
I work full-time as a Radiation Therapist and offer pet care on Wednesdays and weekends. I have my own car and am happy to travel to your home so your dog can stay in a familiar and comfortable environment. I work in healthcare, so I’m used to being reliable, organised and attentive to individual needs. I’m fully available on Wednesdays, which gives me plenty of time for longer walks, home visits and keeping pets company without rushing. I may also have some availability on evenings and weekends depending on my work schedule. I enjoy getting to know each pet’s routine and making sure they feel comfortable, safe and well cared for. I will tailor my services and care to each individual pet and their needs, as well as those of their sitter. My 10 year old springer is blind and I am used to taking care of senior dogs as well as puppies.

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs and cats and caring for them all my life, both at home and with family members. I am a friendly, caring and affectionate person who loves making animals feel happy, safe and loved. I treat every pet as if they were my own, giving them plenty of attention, patience and cuddles. I even find myself speaking German to cute animals because I just can’t help it! I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I study from home, so my schedule is flexible for during the week and weekends. I have plenty of time to give your pets attention, company, walks and care. Your pet’s safety and happiness come first. I provide a calm, loving environment, follow your instructions carefully and treat your pet’s like family.

About: Dogs trained into my environment as soon as they arrive. I take senior dogs and can administer injections and oral medication. **Absolutely NO young Un-neutered males** Hi, I am an experienced pet owner, I currently have one 16 year old cat who is dog and cat friendly. I got him and his sister as rescues from the DSPCA when they were just 1 year old. I had been fostering dogs with the DSPCA for a few years but no longer do that now. I offer special care for older dogs, I can give injections and medications from that experience. I have a good sized back garden, there are 3 local parks (2 have dog parks in them) and pets are allowed anywhere in the house. Generally I will take your dog out for two long walks per day and two pee strolls depending on their needs and capabilities. Your cats will do whatever they want, like all cats, they will have the run of upstairs and have a dedicated room for their beds and food.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all kinds since I’m 7 years old. I was always the responsible for feeding them, go walking and etc once I was always passionate about pets. For the last year I have been taking care frequently of my sister’s little sausage, Molly, which is now 1 year old I’m currently working on part-time, so I will have plenty of time to play with your dog! I’m available for boardings during the njght and at weekends and on weekdays anytime between 8am and 3pm. If scheduled in advance, I can also stay overnight for one or few nights :) I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully regarding feeding, exercise, medication, and routines. I make sure the home environment is secure by checking doors, gates, and any potential hazards before and after walks.

About: Hi, I’m Claire, a reliable, friendly, and experienced pet and house sitter who treats your home and furry (or feathered!) family members with genuine care and respect. 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. What sets me apart is the level of attention and comfort I provide. I can host pets in my own home, offering a safe, calm, and loving environment where they’ll feel right at home. I work from home, so I’m always around for company and cuddles on demand. I also love being outdoors, so long walks, runs, and active playtime are never a problem. I’m confident caring for pets of all ages, including energetic young pets who need patience and consistency, as well as senior pets who may require a gentler, more attentive approach. I also have experience administering medication, so I’m comfortable supporting pets with additional care needs. I’m tidy, trustworthy, and treat every home as if it were my own. I also send regular photo updates so you can relax knowing your pets are happy, settled, and well cared for. References available! Pet care fits naturally into my routine as I work from home, so I’m always available for company, feeding, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day. I’m very active, so regular walks, runs, and outdoor time are part of my daily life. I’m available on weekdays, weekends, and holidays, ensuring pets get consistent care, attention, and a reliable routine. I live in a comfortable two-bedroom apartment with access to a large, secure fenced outdoor area, giving pets space to relax and play safely. I’m also located close to the canal, which is perfect for stimulating walks with lots of new smells and scenery, as well as a large nearby park for longer outings and exercise. I tailor care to each pet’s routine and your preferences, whether that’s crate training, their own bed, or relaxing on the couch. I aim to make them feel as at home and comfortable as possible.

About: Pet sitting instagram: Rachelscuddleandcare 🐶 I have a passion for all animals and I have 12 years experience of pet sitting. I recently completed my studies at GTI Galway, earning QQI Level 5 qualifications in Animal Care and Dog Grooming. Being around animals brings me so much joy and I will love your animal as if they were my own. Pet sitting fits perfectly into my schedule and it gives me freedom to meet many different pets. Pet sitting is my main job at the moment. I will firstly gain trust with your pet so they can feel comfortable around me. I will get to own their personality and their likes/dislikes. I will play, feed, walk and give attention to your pet.
