Barbra was great with our dog mochi! We greatly appreciated the pictures she sent, her communication was great, and we'd be happy to have her watch our pup again.

About: I grew up with big dogs — my dad loved Caucasian Shepherds. As an adult, I always wanted a dog, but working full-time made it tricky, so my partner and I got a cat instead. After we split up, the cat stayed with him, and I’ve been missing having an animal around ever since. Now I love taking care of my friends’ dogs when they go on holidays. Pet sitting and dog walking is a great way for me to spend time with animals and get to know different breeds. I believe every one is different, just like people. It’s all about being patient and finding that connection. I’m currently studying and free most of the day — feel free to share your preferred schedule, and I’ll do my best to fit in. I can play with, feed, clean up after, change litter boxes, and brush your pet’s fur. I’m happy to send you videos so you can see how they’re doing. If you’re busy, I can also take your pet to vet appointments. Most importantly, I’ll follow your instructions and make sure your pet is happy, comfortable, and well cared for.

About: I recently moved to Kilkenny to improve my English, but don't worry—I speak 'Dog' perfectly! 🐶 My background is in Interior Design and working at The Disney Store, which means two things for you: I am extremely detail-oriented and I have very high standards of responsibility. I am an active person who loves long walks in nature. I don't just "watch" pets; I engage with them. Whether your dog needs a 5km run or just a gentle stroll and a belly rub, I adapt to their energy. I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and I am happy to follow strict instructions regarding diet or medication. I currently have full availability 7 days a week, including mornings, afternoons, and weekends. Since I am not tied to a 9-to-5 office job right now, I can offer your pet my undivided attention. I never rush walks and I can be flexible if your plans change last minute. Your pet becomes my priority for the day. Your home is safe with me. As a professional Interior Designer, I have a deep respect for people's homes and spaces. I guarantee to leave your house exactly as I found it—clean, tidy, and secure. Safety First: I always keep dogs on a leash unless we are in a secure, fenced area. I will send you daily photo updates and GPS maps of our walks so you have total peace of mind knowing your furry friend is happy and safe.

Sarah is warm and engaging, with a great love of pets and animals. She did petsitting overnight for us in a very conscientious and responsible manner. She is responsible and professional and totally trustworthy. We would highly recommend her. Our two cats were very happy, well fed and well looked after.

About: Full-time animal lover hoping to help you take care of your pet! I have a great deal of experience pet-sitting in other people's homes all over Ireland for up to 5 weeks while they are away. These pet-sits have included various animals including dogs and cats to birds, fish, and reptiles. They also included rescues and animals with medical regimens, so I am well used to providing care for animals with additional physical or psychological needs. I am a psychologist by trade, and believe I am equally as attentive in spotting early signs of distress in animals. I love to hike and do jiu jitsu, so and am well able to walk any number and size of pet. I know how much exercise some pets need, so am more than willing to take your pets on longer walks or hikes of up to 5-6 hours. I have taken my own and friend's dogs hiking several times in the past, and they always have the time of their lives! I have a lifetime of animal care behind me, growing up on a farm with cattle, sheep, pigs, dogs, cats, rabbits, fish, and chickens. My dad is also an animal pregnancy scanner, so I am used to all sorts of animals! I used to work part-time for a pet farm, gaining experience in the care of everything from alpacas to emus, goats, rabbits, geese, and ferrets. My family had an old english sheepdog growing up, so I am well-used to basic grooming. My aunt used to keeps bees and I helped her growing up, crystalising this as a dream of mine for the future. I live in a shared house, so unfortunately cannot offer services in my home. However, I am more than happy to take your pet for a walk somewhere close to your home, to drop-in to your pet while you are away, or stay in your home for 24-hour care. Happy to meet you and your pets before we start working together to ensure that we are a match. Feel free to message me and we can discuss what plan will work best for you and your pet :) I am currently working part-time as a psychology researcher with flexible hours. I then provide pet services with my remaining hours, or if you want me to stay at your house I might bring my laptop with me. When in your home I will respect the needs of your pet, as outlined by you. I am happy to stay for longer durations and beyond Waterford if needed.
