I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, caring for breeds of all sizes and even helping with new litters. I regularly look after friends’ and family members’ dogs, gaining plenty of hands-on experience with a wide range of personalities and needs. Back in Ireland, my chocolate lab Oliver was my daily companion. I would take him on two walks a day, playtime in the fields, and lots of affection. Oliver is an anxious boy who can get overexcited around new dogs, so I’m very familiar with managing nervous energy, providing reassurance, and helping pets feel safe and calm. Since moving to Austin, I’ve missed having him around and would love to spend time with dogs again, especially on weekends. I live alone in a dog-friendly apartment with no other animals, so your pup will have my full attention. I work in person during the week but am happy to adjust and work from home for special cases!
