Animal-loving techie on sabbatical

Pet care experience

Hello! I'm a genuine animal lover of all kinds. Grew up wanting to be a veterinarian, somehow stumbled into tech. Currently on sabbatical and missing animals in my life. I have experience with powerful breeds. Formerly a pitbull mommy of 11+ years. Type A, active, rule follower, experienced with positive reinforcement training for dogs. Love cats, cared for them growing up, although I can't say I've had any success there with "training"... :)

Ciara was very sweet with Lupin, gave her lots of exercise and was great at keeping me updated with pictures and texts. I would definitely book with her again!

Safety, trust & environment

We live in a small water-front home with our senior pup, Peaty. Peaty has free (supervised) reign of the property - we live at the end of the road without traffic, and he enjoys sitting outside watching the world go by... and then sleeping off the afternoon on the couch inside by the wood-burning stove. He's happy to show another pup his lifestyle, and we're also happy to follow stricter rules as needed. With dogs, my philosophy is a well-behaved dog is a well-exercised one. Daily walks are a must!

Home

Lives in a house
Has an unfenced yard
Non-smoking household
Has no pets
No children present
Dogs allowed on bed
Dogs allowed on furniture

Information Ciara R. would like to know about your pet

I like to understand their daily routines, healthcare needs (if any), leash / off-leash training, along with how much exercise enables them to be their best version of themselves!

A typical day

Morning walks with coffee along the bike path next to our house is a daily routine. Games / swimming in the back yard is a fun afternoon option, followed by another walk at sunset.

I'm currently on a sabbatical so my weekly schedule is flexible. Typically bring our 13-year-old Aus Shepherd mix for a long walk in the mornings along the bike path, and again around sunset. Could happily incorporate more exercise for a higher energy pup, or less for those more inclined on couch time.
