Pet care experience

Responsible reliable Pet Carer

I am an animal lover of dogs and cats with over 25 years of pet ownership. I had my first pet dog as a youngster at 10 years old. A sheepdog. I love Cats and Dogs equally. From my experience with Cats, it is important that they are cared for properly in the absence of their owner when on holiday or away. I offer house visitation for both cats and dogs in Waterford city. I understand the importance of Cat care from having a deaf cat previously. Understanding the signs of Cats when they become stressed is also important in order to spot issues early. Ensuring they are safe, secure and taking notice if they are off their food or fluids. I am very observant of pets and understand clear communication with the owner is important especially when away. House visits and cats staying in situ suit some cats best. From once or twice daily visits I can suit the owners needs and their pets needs to keep them company and entertained. Dogs need care and other aspects depending on the age, breed and temperment to ensure their welfare and happiness when owners are away, therefore I offer walking if required when you are away in addition to house visitation. I love walking my own dogs on the Greenway or in Tramore. But I can work with you to decide where and when exercise is needed. I can also take Cats in my home and on occasion small dogs that are good with other dogs and kids. All pets must be vaccinated, flead and wormed. My aim is to provide safe, responsible and reliable support for owners when they are away or travelling. As a pet owner I know how important this is when out of the country or unavailable. Feel free to reach out to me if you need your furry or feline friends minded or have any questions. Emmet.

Couldn’t recommend Emmet enough! We were away for two days and honestly had such peace of mind knowing our two cats were being so well looked after. We got lovely updates while we were away, and came home to two very happy cats (who barely seemed bothered we were gone at all.🤣) Reliable, kind, easy to deal with and just an all round lovely person. We’ll definitely be booking again. Thanks so much for taking such great care of our little chaos gremlins!

Emmet does an exceptional service for pet owners. Our experience has been fantastic! Our dog Julian came home happy and well-cared-for, showing how much love and attention he received. Emmet is professional, punctual, and truly engaging with pets, providing updates and photos during their visits. I highly recommend Emmet for anyone seeking peace of mind while away from their furry friends! 10/10

Safety, trust & environment

As a owner of 2 dogs currently I understand the care they need and the joy they bring to us. Having an experienced pet owner is critical especially when someone is away or on holidays.

Pets

A typical day

In particular for dogs, bringing them to new places, beaches, the Greenway, the park are all great places to walk and get them exercised and out in the fresh air

Cats
0 to 7 kg
7 to 18 kg
Emmet can host up to 2 pets per night
Having a meet and greet is always advised prior to any trip. I can get an understanding of what temperament the dog is, what habits they have and what they enjoy.
