Highlights
Pet care experience
Trusty Irish farm girl. Dogs & more
Growing up on a farm I have cared for animals and pets most of my life. The majority of experience is with dogs and cats however I have also experience looking after various farm animals/pets. Dogs: At the moment it's mostly dogs (but still open to other animals!). I have looked after lots of dogs during my time in the city here - on a formal and informal basis. I absolutely love dogs and spending time with them is a joy for me. I ensure they don't have too much time alone - especially on their first stay - as want them to see my home as a place of comfort & something to look forward to! I love getting to know a dog's favourite activity and seeing where they like to explore - feel free to share these facts during their stay :) Ps they do get couch / bed privileges here if that's something they are allowed...

Ratings and reviews
Really lovely sitter! So friendly and really reassuring with Dilly - thank you!
Aine was great! Hector seemed to have a lovely time and was out and about on walks a lot throughout the day. Aine was also very flexible with me when I was later to come and collect Hector than originally planned, so I was really appreciative of that. I would definitely trust Aine looking after Hector again.
Lizard, Roger and Harold had a great afternoon with Aine. We will definitely be using Aine in the future
Orla had a fantastic stay with Aine. It was like a home from home - she got lots of walks and stimulation and the level of care was outstanding. I appreciated the updates and photos too. THANKS from me and Orla ❤️
Aine was amazing with my golden retriever. It’s clear she loves and understands dogs, and my puppy took to her immediately even though he can sometimes be fearful of new people. She adapted the day to suit him and his needs and sent multiple photos and updates throughout. I would have her watch him again without hesitation.
Aine was lovely with my dog Quintus. She was very attentive and she kept me in the loop, I felt I could trust that he was safe and well cared for while I was away. 10/10 would recommend.

Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I live in a big flat with 3 other animal lovers and we have current experience pet sitting. We have access to Queen Street Gardens - so lots of SAFE space for pets to be let off lead and run around in a quiet secured area :)
A typical day
Pets are an excellent incentive to be active. I am somebody who enjoys exercise, being outdoors and playing games as it is so this is usually a fun task. But I will plan my sitting days around the dog in question so if they need more chill down time I am happy to provide. Some activities can include; Going for a walk. Going for a run. Playing fetch in Queen Street Gardens (secured). Going into nature for a good sniff. Playing with indoor toys. Going to the beach. Couch and cuddles. Hikes/hills. Bed privileges (if appropriate). Going to the park to socialize with other pets (if appropriate).

- Let me know if your pet has any additional needs/care required. I like to think of being pet-centred as each pet has different needs. I have experience working with pets that are blind, have poor mobility, senior, social anxiety etc.
