About Grainne M.

Dog skills

40 years of experience

Safety, trust & environment

I don’t board dogs or cats at my own residence as this would be too stressful for my own cat boss, but am happy to housesit if available to do so. This has always proved to be a more agreeable arrangement as there is no place like home for a dog or cat who are as much a member of the family as any other relative!

Lives in a house
Has a fenced yard
Non-smoking household
Has 1 cat
No children present
Dogs not allowed on bed

Pet care experience

I am easygoing, but not at all a pushover. I like to think I have a firm but gentle touch, and have a good degree of empathy. Having worked with animals - from horses to cats to dogs to chickens! - my experiences of their psychology have stood me in good stead when making new four- (and two!) legged acquaintances.
 I've always thought dogs to be some of the best judges of character and human nature, and honestly, you just can't hide your own true self from their animal instincts. They see, they know and they will make up their own mind about you whether you like it or not! As for cats, well, they are an enigma wrapped in a mystery drowning in a tub of Dreamies. Would we change them? Never!
 So all I can say is, if I meet your dog/cat/chicken and they give their paw/claw of approval, what better endorsement is there?

Grainne is an absolute saint for pets and their parents! Marley adores his walkies and Grainne goes the extra mile to make sure he has the best time with his buddies. I’m consistently late to book and changeable with days and times, but at the drop of a hat and if I’m ever in a bind Grainne always comes up trumps. A lovely woman providing a great service and Marley and I are delighted to recommend her 🥰🐾

Grainne is a wonderfully reliable and experienced pet caregiver. My cat Kippers is very comfortable with her, going by the update photos in which Kippers is invariably cuddled up with her. She is great at keeping me in the loop and responding promptly to booking requests.
