Safety, trust & environment

Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priority. I provide a calm, clean, and secure home environment where dogs can relax and feel at ease. I take the time to understand each dog’s routine, preferences, and any special requirements to ensure they feel safe and well cared for. I don’t have a yard but next door to our apartment is a dog park so there is green space nearby.

Information Niamh M. would like to know about your pet

Please just let me know if your dog requires any special attention such as treatments, specific food or walk times. Also if they have any injury or physical issues I should be aware of.

A typical day

I love playing with dogs, whether it’s with toys or fetch in the park - whichever they find most enjoyable and comfortable. I try to get dogs outside as much as possible.

Pet care experience

I’ve been caring for dogs since I was a teenager in England and have always grown up around them. Since moving to the United States, I really miss my family dog, so spending time with dogs here means a lot to me. I have experience with breeds including French Bulldogs and Akitas, and I’m comfortable with different personalities and care needs.

I would absolutely recommend Niamh as a responsible, calm and loving pet caregiver. I have known Niamh for many years and she has cared for my lovely dog Floyd on many occasions, she is compassionate, well organised and always caring and focused on Floyds well being. Niamh has grown up around dogs and so is very good when it comes to their care and enjoyment including walking and playing with them. I know Niamh to be trustworthy, honest and dependable and more importantly so does my darling Floyd. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.

Niamh has known a local chow ‘Eddie’ for many years and has walked Eddie many times over the yearsI do believe she would love to own one herself in the future

Niamh loves all animals, she always has done. Since being a child her concern for animal welfare has always been very high. She has a pet dog in the UK, an American akita, whom along with her parents, rescued the dog after he had been abandoned. He became a valued member of the family and because of the love and attention he gets there are no issues at all with him. I have no hesitation in recommending Niamh as a responsible carer of pets, she would look after them as her own.

Niamh & Dec both love dogs! They both had family dogs when they lived in England and they always make sure to see them when they come to visit. Niamh is the best dog auntie to my dog and she’ll always brings treats for her! They’re both such kind and caring people who will always put the needs of their four legged friends first :)
