I just finished my second year at college and am looking to spend some time with dogs as my landlord doesn’t allow pets. I am currently working part time at my schools library so I’m free most weekdays and weekends between 8am-7pm.

Safety, trust & environment

My house has stairs, no other pets, and is a no smoking household. My house is right by the University of Portland campus for longer walks to burn off energy. When house sitting I adhere to all rules of your house. I can contact you with photos and updates every time I walk or pet sit with you. I will give your pet all my love and affection to make them feel safe with me.

Information Niamh A. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog is friendly with other dogs and people and if there is anything to avoid when spending time with them. Activities or toys that they particularly enjoy are also welcome advice.

A typical day

We would definitely go for a walk around the University of Portland campus or Columbia Park and explore my neighborhood and meet new furry friends.

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of and lived with and around dogs my whole life. I absolutely adore dogs and all animals but I’m unfortunately allergic to cats so I can’t take care of them. I can take care of elderly dogs with health issues. I’ve boarded and pet sit many times before. I can walk, feed, cuddle, play, give medication, clean up after them and bathe/groom your dog. My biggest priority is that you and your dog feel comfortable and safe when your away from each other. I hope to make the process painless and as stress free as possible.

Niamh did a wonderful job with my dog Bunny! Very responsive during my vacation and kept me updated on everything going on with my pup. I feel very secure leaving my home and dog in her care ☀️ highly recommend for anyone in St John's looking for a sitter.

Niamh did a fantastic job caring for our mini Aussie. She was on time, communicative, and allowed us to enjoy our vacation knowing that our pup was in good hands. We would absolutely book her again and recommend her to others!

Niamh was absolutely amazing and when above and beyond with taking care of my old pup who has special needs. She made sure to keep me updated and communication. She was very reassuring and we felt very confident with her care. Will definitely be booking with her again!

Niamh took great care of my older mini schnauzer for multiple nights when I was traveling. In addition to taking him on some lovely long walks, she provided comfort and attention to him. She has previously taken care of him in my own home and puppy sat him in her home. She is trustworthy and kind, and my dog did not experience the separation anxiety that he often does with others with her. I might fly her back down to CA To watch him if I can’t find a great new sitter…
