EXPERIENCED IN TRAINING & CARING
Pet care experience
Hey! My name is Finlay R. and I'm a 19 year old college student from Ireland. I'm absolutely obsessed by dogs. Before I moved to America I had a job in Ireland training dogs for about a year and a half. This granted me a solid knowledge-base on how to read dogs body-language and understand their breeds! I have dogs of my own back in Ireland who I play with and walk constantly. I'm an athlete here in America so am happy bringing dogs for both runs and walks whilst looking after them. I am also very conscientious of any animals around me and can ensure that your pup will not ever be bored or unsupervised under my watch. In fact, by the end of it they'll probably even be bored of playing! If you would like me to arrange puppy-play-dates with other dogs in my neighbourhood I would be more than happy to. However, granted that many dogs enjoy long walks and play-time, I understand that some dogs are older, timid or simply less energetic and so might need only to relax for some of the day and I am absolutely content spending some time watching TV with them or taking occasional short, leisurely strolls. I can generally be flexible about times even if they are processed differently on my schedule so feel free to ask and I will do my best to work with you. In addition, any specific needs that either you or your dog might like or need will be carefully considered and implemented into the plan for a lovely stay. I understand that it can be daunting, allowing your dog to be looked after my someone else and often confusing for the pup themselves but I try to make it easier for both of you by ensuring that the pup is entertained and that you receive frequent photos from me via text or the rover app. Together we can make their stay feel closer to a brief vacation.
Reviews
Finlay was great with our dog Max! He was communicative, shared lots of pictures, and was even able to get our sometimes “testy” dog to play with other dogs! We would love to have Max stay with Finlay again.
Finlay watched our dog for a week and was wonderful. He sent pictures every day and was super responsive and accommodating when we needed to change our pick up time. Our dog was happy and healthy when we returned.
Seigo came back happy and cheerful. Signs he was well taken care of :)
Ted was tired, happy, and healthy; who could ask for more. Finley was communicative and friendly. Will ask him the next trip.

Information Finlay R. would like to know about your pet
How is your dog on a leash? Are they good with other dogs or do they have any breed-specific dislikes? Any food restrictions? What is their favourite activity? Are they comfortable in a car?
A typical day
I have a large car that I am happy to bring dogs in, with that if requested we can visit a local dog park or simply go for a walk somewhere interesting! Otherwise I am comfortable taking any dogs on runs. Regardless, there will undoubtedly be plenty of play-time!
