Highlights
Pet care experience
Your 🐶’s new irish friend!!! ❤️🐾
I’ve grown up with animals my whole life, and I’ve always felt happiest around furry four-legged friends 🐶🐾 Back home in Ireland, I spent years walking, caring for, and being around dogs of all sizes and personalities. I also spent time abroad in China helping care for sick animals and horses, where I gained hands-on animal care experience 🐴✨ I’m patient, calm, strong ( in case you have an Irish Wolfhound lol ) and very confident with dogs. I’m especially good with nervous pets who need a little extra reassurance, a softer approach, or time to warm up 🤍 I can also help with basic routine, structure, leash manners, puppy-style patience, and gentle senior care. I’m not a certified trainer or vet, but I’m very comfortable with animals and I always pay close attention to their body language, comfort, and safety. I can also do gentle doggy massage if your dog suffers from any aches or pains after a walk or just needs help relaxing in a new environment away from their loved ones. I’ve studied law for four years and just finished my degree here in Houston, so honestly, I’ve dealt with enough humans and their drama for a while… some peaceful dog walks sound perfect to me 😂⚖️🐕

Ratings and reviews
We couldn’t be happier with the care our dog received! It’s clear he genuinely love animals. He provided regular updates, photos, and reassurance that our dog was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Coming home after picking her up our dog was relaxed and clearly had a wonderful time. It's such a relief to find someone trustworthy who treats your pet like family. We highly recommend Rory to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive dog sitter. We will absolutely be booking with them again!
Ruaidhri was amazing looking after my Luna! She was treated like a princess and made feel safe, and she got all the pup cups she ever could’ve wanted! I was nervous leaving her as a fairly new dog parent but Ruaidhri really made everything so easy for me and Luna. An easy 100/100 experience, I trust Ruaidhri with Luna anytime!
Ruaidhri was fantastic! He was incredibly attentive and kept me updated throughout the entire stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. I really appreciated the frequent updates, photos, and communication. It was clear that my dog was well cared for and in great hands. I would absolutely book with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter! 🐾😊
Ruaidhri did an amazing job looking after Oro! He was attentive, communicative, and treated Oro like his own. We loved getting updates and could tell Oro was in great hands the whole time. It’s hard to find someone you truly trust with your pup, and Ruaidhri is exactly that. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter!
Ruaidhri is someone I would absolutely trust to provide safe, loving care for pets. He is patient, attentive, and genuinely caring, which makes animals feel comfortable and secure around them. They go above and beyond to make sure pets are happy, well cared for, and treated like family.
Rory took excellent care of my dog and kept me updated with plenty of photos throughout the stay. I always felt at ease knowing my pup was in good hands and would not hesitate to book with him again.

Schedule
I recently moved from Ireland (hence the cryptic celtic name pronounced Rory and yes... accent included haha), I’m 23, and I’m missing my fluffy friends back home so much 💚 I’ve just finished up law school here in Houston, so I currently have a very flexible schedule and far too much free time! I live in a spacious apartment near Montrose and I help look after a sweet little pug called Luna during the week. Taking care of animals genuinely brings me so much joy - it feels like therapy to me 🐶🐾 Because my schedule is flexible, I can usually fit in walks, drop-ins, daycare, and pet sitting throughout the week. My partner works and travels for work so I will be the sole caretaker of your pet. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine as much as possible, whether they need calm company, regular potty breaks, longer walks, or just someone safe and kind to hang out with.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I love making animals feel safe, cared for, and relaxed. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I’ll follow your instructions closely and treat them like part of my own family 🤍 In my apartment, your pet will have clean drinking water, a calm environment, space to relax, and lots of attention if they want it. I also like to put on Dog TV, animal videos, or relaxing music to help pets settle after walks or playtime 🐾📺 I’m careful with doors, leashes, feeding instructions, and anything specific your pet needs. I know every animal is different, so I’ll always want to know about their routine, personality, triggers, medical needs, and what makes them feel most comfortable. I’m not a vet, but I do have years of hands-on animal care experience, and I’m familiar with animal safety basics, including animal CPR. Your babies will be safe, watched, loved, and cared for here 🐶✨ And of course, if they’re allowed and up for it, we may take a little trip to La La Land for a free pup cup 🐶☕
Pets
A typical day
I usually wake up early, make sure the doggies are fed and settled according to their normal routine, and then we start the day with some calm attention, cuddles, or a walk 🐶🐾 Depending on your pet’s energy level, we can go for a gentle walk around the neighbourhood, a longer stroll through one of the safest pedestrian-friendly areas near me in Houston, or even a park visit if that suits them. If allowed, I’ll absolutely get your doggie a pup cup from La La Land too ☕✨ After walks, I like to give pets time to relax back at the apartment with fresh water, comfy space, Dog TV, animal videos, or relaxing music. I’m very used to calling my family back home in Ireland during the day, so your floofy friend may also get to join me for another little walk while I catch up with them 😂🇮🇪 A typical day with me is calm, loving, and flexible: walks, cuddles, enrichment, relaxation, and lots of attention based on what your pet actually enjoys 🤍
