Pet care experience

Rachel, pet lover!

I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10, when my friend went on holidays with her family I cycled 6km to her house to walk and feed her dogs. My family got our Sandy, a labradoodle who is the light of our lives 8 years ago. Training, walking and playing with her are some of my favourite things to do on the weekends I visit home.

We couldn't be happier with Rachel's work! She sent us daily updates with photos, documenting all the fun they had with Finn. We came home to a happy pup and a spotless house, and couldn't be more grateful for all the care she put into dogsitting Finn. Thank you so much Rachel!

Rachel was brilliant with house-sitting Moby! She kept him company, gave him 3 walks a day, stayed with him some of the nights and kept me updated with photos while I was away. She followed all instructions and was great with communication. Your fur baby is definitely in safe, caring hands with her!

I would highly recommend Rachel as a dog sitter/walker. Rachel absolutely adores animals- I can attest this seeing her with our family dog Sandy and numerous of our friends and families loved animals. Rachel often takes our dog Sandy on long walks and showers her in love when she visits home. Rachel attains qualities such as patience, kindness and trust- all key qualities of being a brilliant dog walker and sitter!

Rachel is such a caring person and I can attest to this as she showed great love towards my dog Lola when she stayed with her. My dog Lola is shy and after a couple of minutes with Rachel she was comfortable and sitting with her and enjoying her company. Rachel’s family dog is quite active and she often takes Sandy on long walks when she visits her parents. Rachel is very responsible and will show each dog the care and attention they deserve. I would highly recommend her as a caregiver!

Rachel's genuine love for animals is clear, she has taken care of my dog several times over the past 10 years. She demonstrates patience, kindness and reliability. I would highly recommend Rachel as a dog sitter.

Schedule

I work full-time as a civil servant, but my hours are flexible. I am available every evening after 5pm and enjoy long walks in Salthill. My weekends are typically quiet so I am available full-time from Friday evening until Monday morning. I can also work remotely if required, I will just need a bit of notice.
