During sittings, I treat every dog like part of the family. I ensure they get plenty of exercise, love, and attention, and I’m happy to stick to their regular routines. I’m available most days and flexible with timings. I’m comfortable caring for all breeds, sizes, and ages—including senior dogs and those with special needs. With a secure, fully enclosed backyard and beautiful riverside walks nearby, your dog will feel right at home with me.

Information Aoife O. would like to know about your pet

It’s important to note that I have a nearly 3 year old son who adores animals & has grown up around dogs. He is gentle and respectful. For this reason, I can only welcome dogs who are friendly & comfortable around young children.

A typical day

Pet care experience

I’ve been around dogs all my life and absolutely love caring for them. I currently have two wonderful senior dogs (15 and 11 years old), so I’m experienced with dogs of all ages and needs. My home has a fully enclosed backyard where pups can play safely, and I live near a lovely walkway and river that make walks relaxing and enjoyable. Your dog will be treated like family here—with lots of attention, care, and cuddles! 
I mostly offer dog sitting on weekends as I work during the week, but I’m lucky to work close to home. This means I can pop back on my lunch break to check in, give cuddles, and take your pup out for a toilet break or short walk. If your dog is comfortable with that routine, I’d be more than happy to look after them during the week as well.
