Availability

As a nurse, I have a structured and busy schedule, but I make time for pets every day because I understand the importance of routine, attention, and care. Walking, feeding, and spending quality time with dogs fits naturally around my shifts, and my experience in nursing, being attentive, patient, and responsive to needs translates directly to caring for animals. Volunteering with dogs trust has also taught me about staying calm under pressure, and providing special care, which helps me ensure every dog I look after is safe, happy, and comfortable.

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets, I ensure their safety, comfort, and happiness at all times. During walks, I maintain control on a leash, monitor their behaviour, and adapt the pace to each dog’s needs. I provide plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, and positive reinforcement, while always keeping an eye on their well-being. If caring in a pet owner’s home, I follow their instructions carefully, feeding, water, and any special routines, while giving lots of attention, love, and companionship so the dog feels safe and happy in my care.

Information Eilis D. would like to know about your pet

Its really helpful to know about a dog’s routine, energy level, and any specific needs they may have. I like to know about their temperament with new people and other dogs, their favourite activities, and any health concerns, medications, or dietary restrictions. Understanding what makes your dog happy (and what might make them anxious) helps me provide the best, safest care. The more I know about your pet’s personality and preferences, the more comfortable and enjoyable the walk will be for them.

A typical day

A typical day for me starts with some fresh air and exercise, which is why I love dog walking. I enjoy getting outside and making sure each dog has a fun, safe walk tailored to their needs, whether that’s a gentle stroll or a more energetic adventure. I make sure they get plenty of time to sniff, explore, and enjoy themselves, while always keeping them safe and cared for. My goal is to send each pup home happy, relaxed, and looking forward to their next walk.

Pet care experience

I have hands-on experience caring for a rescue dog, and also volunteering with dogs trust, which has both taught me patience, understanding, and compassion. I’m skilled at building trust, providing gentle guidance, and ensuring every dog feels safe, happy, and loved during walks, playtime, and daily care.

Eilis is such a lovely person who really takes the time to understand your dog and their routine, it was clear from their first meeting that Obi adores her! We had peace of mind while leaving Obi for the first time with lots of lovely pupdates and came home to a very contented dog. We've already rebooked with Eilis and would not hesitate to use her services again.

Blu loves walking with Eilis! She is highly reliable and took the time to meet us before going out solo. Eilis is considerate of Blu’s rehabilitative needs and thorough with her pupdates (with lots of nice photos too). She knows what to look for and will communicate any issues or concerns effectively. 10/10 recommend, will definitely book again!
