My weekly routine is highly structured and predictable, making it easy to provide consistent, quality care. I study in the mornings, which keeps my schedule very stable. Once my classes are over, I organize my time so that I have my afternoons completely free to be at home, relaxing and keeping the pets company. Since I love exercising and going for daily walks, I absolutely enjoy incorporating dog walks into my active routine—it's the perfect match! This way, I can ensure the dogs get plenty of outdoor exercise and fun, while still enjoying a calm, attentive, and cozy environment once we are back home.

Safety, trust & environment
In my home: I live in a cozy, smaller apartment, so I make sure to compensate for the space by keeping the dogs active outdoors. If your pet stays with me, I will adjust my schedule to take them out for more frequent walks and exercise. This way, they can burn off their energy outside and enjoy a calm, relaxed, and comfortable environment once we are back home. In the owner's home: If you prefer me to care for your pet in their own home, my absolute priority is to respect and maintain their exact daily routine. I know how important stability is for pets, so I will strictly follow their usual feeding, walking, and playtime schedules. This ensures they feel completely comfortable, safe, and happy in their familiar environment, making your time away as stress-free as possible for them.

Veterinarian & Lifelong Pet Lover
Pet care experience
Hi there! I’m a certified veterinarian from Mexico who recently moved to Ireland in June 2026. Back home, my life always revolved around animals—from dogs and cats to rabbits and fish. Right now, my beloved cat is staying with my parents, and because I miss her and the daily joy that pets bring into a home, I decided to join Pawshake. For me, this is not just a job; it is a way to fill my heart while providing the absolute best care for your best friend. 🩺 Professional Veterinary Background I have always been deeply committed to animal welfare, which led me to study Veterinary Medicine. I graduated in 2020, and since then, I have worked continuously in veterinary hospitals and clinics. What this means for your pet: I have extensive experience in animal health, monitoring behavior, and recognizing subtle signs of stress or discomfort. Specialized Care: If your pet is a senior, has chronic medical conditions, or requires specific medication (oral, injections, etc.), they will be in the safest hands possible. I am fully trained to handle medical needs with the utmost gentleness and precision. 🕊️ My Lifelong Bond with Dogs Throughout my life, I have given my heart to four beautiful dogs, most of whom were rescued from the streets. They taught me everything I know about unconditional love, patience, and senior pet care: Pirata: A beautiful French Poodle mix who was gifted to me by my grandfather when I was just 3 years old; he lived a long, happy life until the age of 18. Buba: A sweet Labrador who was with us until she was 12. Dokho: A brave companion who lived to be 15, whom I lovingly cared for through his heart and liver failure. Pam: A Labrador who completely changed my life and passed away two years ago at age 12 due to chronic kidney disease. Losing Pam was heartbreaking, and because I knew I wanted to travel and explore the world, I chose not to get another dog of my own until I fully settle down. Caring for your pet will truly bring that missing joy back into my life. 🏡 What I Offer I will treat your pet exactly as if they were my own—with unconditional love, respect, and deep professional attention. Whether it is a high-energy walk, keeping up with their strict feeding schedules, or simply providing a calm, affectionate presence so they don't feel lonely, I am here for them. Since I am highly organized and communicative, you can expect regular updates, photos, and peace of mind knowing your furry family member is being looked after by a professional who genuinely cares. I can't wait to meet your pet and give them a home away from home! Please feel free to reach out with any questions or special requirements. 🐕✨

Reviews
I’ve known Sandra for a long time, and she’s one of the kindest and most caring people I know. She took great care of my dog, Bigotes, and I couldn’t have been happier with the way she looked after him. She’s responsible, patient, and genuinely loves animals. I would trust her with my pets anytime, and I’m sure she’ll give every dog the same love and attention she gave Bigotes. I highly recommend her!
Hello, my name is Ali. I have two dogs Bella and Baloo. My dogs love her, because she is lovely with them. She is reliable,responsible, lovely and careful with dogs. I would leave my dogs in her care without hesitation.
An Absolute Lifesaver and the Only Person I Trust with My Dog I have known her for 10 years, and I can say without a doubt that she is one of the most dedicated animal lovers you will ever meet. Not only is she incredibly compassionate, but she is also a professional veterinarian. Her experience is vast—she has successfully cared for everything from large animals like horses, cows, and pigs, to domestic pets like birds, cats, and dogs. She has a special place in my heart because she literally saved my dog, Kenai, when he was extremely sick with a severe stomach illness. Thanks to her expertise and care, Kenai is now healthy, happy, and thriving. When it comes to my dog's life, she is the only person I trust completely. If you are looking for someone who combines professional veterinary knowledge with genuine, deep-rooted love for animals, she is the absolute best choice you could make on Rover. I cannot recommend her highly enough.
