Experienced, Dedicated, Loving
Pet care experience
Hi! My name is Saoirse (pron. SEER-sha). I am a graduate of Binghamton University with a B.Sc in biology. I have worked with animals all my life, and in my final two years of college, worked with reactive/sick dogs and cats in a shelter upstate. I am highly experienced and have in-depth knowledge of animal behavior, signs/symptoms of illness, physiology and care of dogs, cats, horses, most reptiles (please ask), small mammals, and birds. Please don’t ask me to care for fish- I’ve tried, it doesn’t end well. No, I don’t know why. Your furry, scaly, or hairy friend will be treated like family in my care. I use positive reinforcement and minimal aversive methods to work with animals of all kinds and I have a lot of love to give them! Shoot me a message- I promise I won’t bite!
Cat care experience
Saoirse also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Reviews
The absolute best always!!!
Always the best!
Amazing as always, I won’t trust my doggies to anyone else. So grateful for her!!
Saoirse was a life saver when my pup got herself up to trouble around the house while I was at work! She happened to be around and accepted my last-minute request!
About Saoirse C.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I am reactive dog friendly! Overall, I prefer work with positive reinforcement and classical conditioning. I love to help train pups with basic commands! I believe there is no such thing as a “bad dog” or other animal- everyone deserves a chance. Minimally aversive methods are my preference, but your animal is yours- talk to me! You know best! You can trust me to work with both you and your pet, regardless of any issues that may arise, to the best of my ability. I also have knowledge of signs of illness and injury, so if anything happens, you can trust me to let you know.
Information Saoirse C. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if animals are seniors, disabled, require medication, or sick. I won’t reject them- I just want to make sure I’m adequately prepared!
A typical day
Active, healthy dogs will get walked for at minimum a half hour (though I’ve been known to go a little longer-no, I won’t charge you for that!). I will, however, adjust as needed for dogs depending on their owner’s schedule and the personality of the dog. I also love to just chill and cuddle, so old pets, disabled, young or overweight animals are also welcome. I am comfortable horse riding, and comfortable interacting with insects, rodents and reptiles, so no animal, no matter what size, will go unloved!
Services
Saoirse can watch in your home
Availability
I have a reliable car and am able to drive most days to client homes. At the moment, I am not accepting overnight visits, as I have recently adopted a dog and he requires my care after 8pm. However, I am available to do drop-ins both late at night and early morning- I am a very early riser!
