Friendly & trusty home for all dogs and cats!

Pet care experience

Hi! I am originally from Lisbon, Portugal. I moved to Worcester to join my partner over six ago. We have a 2-year-old toddler; therefore, one of the requirements now is to welcome a dog or cat child-friendly. Our house has a gated front garden and an enclosed back garden, so your dog(s) will have plenty of space to wag their tail(s) and be happy. On the other hand, your cat(s) will have a relaxed indoor environment to chill and enjoy life while under my care. In Portugal, I was a foster carer for dogs. Bolota, a puppy then, stayed with me until she found her forever home. Every time I go back to visit family and friends, I walk my best friend's three dogs, Migas, Lua and Cuca, whenever she needs a hand. I have also always looked after my friend's cats while they went on holiday, going to their house to feed and play with them. Before Covid-19, I was a regular dog walker and cat socialiser at the local animal rescue shelter. I have walked many different dogs, so I feel I am skilled with the handling and understanding of dogs. I have cared for cats with different personalities, ages and needs. I genuinely love taking dogs for a walk and enjoying their company, as well as cuddling with cats while enjoying a cup of tea. I’ll keep you updated with our adventures with plenty of pictures and videos! I'm flexible with drop-offs and pick-ups, so get in touch...

Morag has spent another lovely weekend with Irene and her family. Morag is a 3 year old Westie and Irene has taken excellent care of her ever since she was a puppy. She loves her visits, I get lots of lovely updates and photos and she always comes home, tired and content. Thank you Irene!

I needed someone to look after Ivy for the day and had no hesitation in booking Irene for a second time. She is so caring and totally reliable, providing a safe and enjoyable experience for Ivy.

Safety, trust & environment

Our house has an enclosed back garden, so the dogs have plenty of space to run around off lead. I follow Rover's guidance and always keep the dogs on the lead on walks. I have an extendable lead that I use (if not provided and if suitable) while walking in our local meadow to enhance their experience. I like to think that it is a home away from home experience at ours for the guest dogs and cats. I follow the indications provided by the owners and always check with them first if things change. I schedule a Meet&Greet beforehand to ensure we are a good match and to answer any questions the owners may have.

Information Irene C. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know about the dog's personality, daily routine (e.g. preferred food, walks/day, naps, etc), medical care if necessary, separation anxiety, funny behaviour, toys and games. No breed preferences - all dogs are welcome.

A typical day

I have three dog friendly local nature reserves at my door step, and the canal towpath nearby. So far my guest dogs have enjoyed exploring them. Dogs seem to enjoy playing "football" or fetch games in our back enclosed garden. A lot of cuddling in the sofa has been appreciated by them and myself too :)
