Highlights
Pet care experience
21, Animal lover, happy to help!
I absolutely love animals and have grown up around them - having a cat, a horse, and now two dogs (a Fox Terrier and a Jack Russell x Pug). I’m a friendly, bubbly person who is responsible and reliable, with regular experience dog sitting and walking both young and older dogs. This has helped me build confidence in handling different temperaments, sticking to routines, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m very comfortable with different breeds and personalities. I enjoy playing with them, going on walks, and giving them plenty of attention and cuddles. I’m also lucky to have a park right outside my house, so your pets would get lots of fresh air and exercise.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
In my home: I provide a safe, clean, and calm environment where pets can feel comfortable and settled. I stick closely to their usual routine, including feeding times, walks, and any specific care instructions. I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and affection, always keep the owners updated, while also monitoring their pet’s behaviour to ensure they’re happy and healthy. In an owner’s home: I respect the owner’s space and follow all instructions carefully to maintain the pet’s normal routine. I ensure feeding, walks, and any medication are given on time, keep the home tidy, and I always give regular updates for peace of mind. I focus on keeping pets relaxed in their familiar environment, giving them lots of care, attention, and consistency.

Orla is an amazing dog sitter. She is reliable, caring, and truly enjoys spending time with dogs. Any pup in her care will be safe, happy, and well looked after. I’d confidently recommend Orla to anyone looking for someone they can trust.
Orla loves dogs! She’s really caring and attentive ensuring the dog is well exercised, cleaned afterwards if necessary & well looked after in a loving, caring and engaged way. I would recommend her as a dog sitter or walker.
Orla regularly looks after multiple families’ dogs, and I’ve seen firsthand how caring and responsible she is with them. She’s attentive, loving, and always makes sure they’re well looked after. I’d be more than happy to trust her with my own pets anytime!

Schedule
As a university student, I have a flexible routine that fits really well around pet care. I’m used to planning my schedule, so I can prioritise walks, feeding times, and giving pets plenty of attention throughout the day and nights. Spending time with animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and it’s a great balance alongside my studies, so I’m always happy to build my routine around their needs.

- Please let me know about your pet’s behaviour and temperament, including how they are with other dogs and people, as well as any special needs or medical conditions. It’s also important to share details of any medication they require, their lead behaviour and recall, toilet/house training progress (particularly if they’re a puppy) and any safety notes such as triggers, escape risks, or habits to be aware of, so I can keep them safe and comfortable at all times.
