Love Dogs - Animal Rescue Volunteer
Pet care experience
Hi everyone!! My name is Niamh, I am 25 years old and I live in Belfast with my partner Gavin. I have been surrounded by dogs from a young age and have always loved them. I volunteer at an animal rescue which has provided me with exposure to many breeds of dogs and their temperaments. I have learned to adapt and how to approach certain breeds, give attention to dogs and space where they need it and ensuring the dog is generally comfortable/ happy in their environment. I give oral medication where needed and can identify some health issues that may need medical attention. I am happy to care for/ walk several dogs at the one time providing the other dogs are comfortable with each other. I am used to dealing with 30+ dogs at a time in the rescue so this would come with great ease. I had a dog myself for 11 years that I lost in March 2020. I have not yet been ready to get my own dog which is why I have put so much time and commitment into rescue dogs that need that need some extra love and affection. I love going for walks around ormeau park, going to the beach and forest walks so would love to take some dogs on my adventures with me!! I work from home which is extremely flexible meaning that I have a lot of time to spend with the dogs throughout my work day. I like to get the dogs out for a long walk in the morning and again at lunch time. Although if the dog is not fit for this I will accommodate for them and only take on a short walk
Reviews
Niamh does an amazing job. Fudge absolutely loves her.
Niamh is the Mary Poppins of the dog world!! She kept in touch so often and was so reassuring with photos and updates throughout our break away. I can't recommend her highly enough ?
Niamh was absolutely brilliant, our dogs were so well looked after, I was very nervous about leaving them but they were so happy. Niamh sent me photos every day and dogs were walked too. I would highly recommend Niamh. So glad we found her.
Niamh was amazing! She kept us updated frequently with what our wee dog was up too and he was clearly having a great time. Communication is fantastic and I felt really safe reassured that our wee pup was in good hands. Totally recommend ?

Information Niamh B. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know the dogs level of reactiveness to other dogs, if they are reactive that they have a supportive harness/ lead or muzzle if necessary. I would also like to know if the dog is reactive to strange men as I understand with working in the rescue that this is common.
A typical day
Morning walk, breakfast (if asked to feed at my home) play time and interaction with other dogs staying. Lunchtime walk, plenty of treats and cuddles
