Lina is fantastic. She was able to come to our house while we were away for a weekend and look after our lovely cat Liam. She travelled for a visit each day to feed and mind Liam, and he loved her company. She was also so kind and watered some of our plants. I would strongly recommend Liam for all of your pet sitting needs!

About: While I don't have any professional experience, I have lived with animals my whole life including dogs, cats, budgie, fish and others. I love taking great care of my pets and making sure they receive lots of love, Ill do the same while taking care of yours.🤍 I am just finishing my marketing studies so I am fully flexible with my schedule from early morning till late evening, any day in the week. Just like with my cat, I will make sure your pet is fed, bowls/trays are cleaned and they get the attention they need. I pay attention to any signs of health issues and I am always available to let you know how they are doing. I strongly believe the owner gets to make every decision about their pet, so I will make sure to listen to your instructions and follow them out strictly. While I do own a pet, I am not able to provide the service of caring for one in my home due to landlord restrictions.

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.

About: Hi, I’m Rinisa! I love caring for both dogs and cats and treat every pet like family. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or cuddle time, I make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I’m reliable, attentive to routines, and always keep pet parents updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Im working full-time but I work from home at least one day a week. I’m available for walks most weekends. Im out and about with my dog anyway so the more the merrier! I have a super friendly dog who can keep your dog company on walks. My dog is good as doing his own thing on walks and just sniffing so it wont be over whelming for your dog if he doesnt like to play.

About: I am an animal lover of dogs and cats with over 25 years of pet ownership. I had my first pet dog as a youngster at 10 years old. A sheepdog. I love Cats and Dogs equally. From my experience with Cats, it is important that they are cared for properly in the absence of their owner when on holiday or away. I offer house visitation for both cats and dogs in Waterford city. I understand the importance of Cat care from having a deaf cat previously. Understanding the signs of Cats when they become stressed is also important in order to spot issues early. Ensuring they are safe, secure and taking notice if they are off their food or fluids. I am very observant of pets and understand clear communication with the owner is important especially when away. House visits and cats staying in situ suit some cats best. From once or twice daily visits I can suit the owners needs and their pets needs to keep them company and entertained. Dogs need care and other aspects depending on the age, breed and temperment to ensure their welfare and happiness when owners are away, therefore I offer walking if required when you are away in addition to house visitation. I love walking my own dogs on the Greenway or in Tramore. But I can work with you to decide where and when exercise is needed. I can also take Cats in my home and on occasion small dogs that are good with other dogs and kids. All pets must be vaccinated, flead and wormed. My aim is to provide safe, responsible and reliable support for owners when they are away or travelling. As a pet owner I know how important this is when out of the country or unavailable. Feel free to reach out to me if you need your furry or feline friends minded or have any questions. Emmet. I work in a an office setting so enjoy spending time outside of work walking with my dogs or spending time with animals or simply been out and about at the seaside As a owner of 2 dogs currently I understand the care they need and the joy they bring to us. Having an experienced pet owner is critical especially when someone is away or on holidays.

About: I’m a passionate animal lover and proud dog owner based in Tramore, Co. Waterford. Friends and family have always trusted me to care for their pets, and I treat every animal like my own. I’m comfortable with dogs and cats of all ages and am happy to provide updates and photos throughout each visit. I work from home on Mondays and Tuesdays, giving me great flexibility for morning, midday and evening visits those days. I’m an early riser so morning walks are no problem! On Wednesdays and Thursdays I’m available mornings and evenings, and on Fridays I’m free from 1pm onwards. Weekends I have good availability too. I offer pet sitting and drop in visits at your home, so your pet gets to stay in their own familiar, comfortable surroundings which I find keeps them much more relaxed and settled. I’m a dog owner myself of two Samoyed’s so I understand how important routine and consistency is. I’ll always send photo updates so you have complete peace of mind while you’re away.

About: Have experience taking care and walking pets in Australia, and have my own dog and cat here in Ireland. I am pet obsessed and so happy to help with your needs! I work Monday to Friday in the hospital 0800 to 1500 most days, 1630 being the latest so am around before work for visits and afterwords can walk and spend time with your pets! I am free weekends also. I’m currently living at home whilst our new house is being made ready to move into, so currently it would suit better to visit people’s homes and I can take care of your pet however you need and prefer.

Lina is fantastic. She was able to come to our house while we were away for a weekend and look after our lovely cat Liam. She travelled for a visit each day to feed and mind Liam, and he loved her company. She was also so kind and watered some of our plants. I would strongly recommend Liam for all of your pet sitting needs!
