Loving Dog Carer with a Safe, Enclosed Garden & Ri

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.

Aoife is lovely! She’s totally mad about dogs and looked after our Bella just like we would ourselves.

It was Buddy’s first stay with Aoife & family, he felt so happy there- he was hesitant incoming home with me. All of the pictures Aoife sent- Buddy looked very relaxed. I have no doubt I will book Aoife in the future. Thanks again Aoife & family

Schedule

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.

Safety, trust & environment

I’ve been around dogs all my life and currently care for my two senior dogs (ages 15 and 11). I have hands-on experience with feeding, administering medication, and understanding dogs’ different temperaments and needs. I’ve looked after dogs for friends and family over the years and always ensure they feel safe, relaxed, and loved while in my care.

I have hands-on experience with feeding, administering medication, and understanding dogs’ different temperaments and needs. I’ve looked after dogs for friends and family over the years and always ensure they feel safe, relaxed, and loved while in my care. Dogs in my care will have full access to my home and a secure, fully enclosed backyard—perfect for play and lounging outside safely. I live in a house with a terrace and nearby walking trails along the river, which are ideal for daily walks. Dogs are welcome to sleep wherever they’re most comfortable, whether it’s their own bed, the sofa, or a cozy spot in the living room. It’s also important to note that I have a nearly 3-year-old son who adores animals and has grown up around dogs. He’s gentle and respectful, and we’re always mindful of each dog’s comfort and boundaries. For this reason, I can only welcome dogs who are friendly and comfortable around young children.
