Pet care experience

Fun, dependable and experienced!

Hi! I’m Saoirse, my name is very Irish ☘️ (pronounced Sur-Sha or Sear-Sha both ways are correct! 😊), and I’m so excited to meet you and your furry family members! I’ve been caring for animals for over 20 years and genuinely love spending time with them. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, horses, chickens, and plenty of other animals along the way. Whether your pet loves long walks, playing fetch, belly rubs, or just having someone to hang out with, I’m happy to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. During the week, I work as a café manager downtown from 7:00 AM to 3:00 PM, so I’m available for pet care after work. My weekends are wide open, making me a great fit for weekend drop-ins, walks, house sitting, or overnight stays. I also occasionally work a short 4 to 5-hour shift at a local horse farm, but those shifts are infrequent and easy to work around. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pets. I’ll treat them like they’re my own, keep them on their normal routine, and make sure they get plenty of love, exercise, fresh water, meals, and attention. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pets are in good hands. I can’t wait to meet you and your four-legged best friends!

This wad our first time working with Saoirse, and she was everything her reviews said — reliable, professional, and SO GREAT with our pup! We loved all of the photos and videos, and her A+++ communication. Couldn’t recommend her more (although we’d prefer not to have to share her with the world!). Bear can’t wait for us to go out of town again so he can spend more time with Saoirse!

Saoirse was great with my pets! I had been burned before with previous sitters and they were very understanding about my concerns. Saoirse sent me pictures of my babes through the week, took my dog Sammy on an adventure. She kept me updated and very comfortable with her care of them. I would highly recommend her, and definitely would invite her to sit for me again. Thank you !

House Sitting • Apr 22, 2026

Saoirse spent 10 days with my dog, Isla, in our home while I was on vacation. She went above and beyond in every way, from taking Isla on special adventures, to leaving the house absolutely immaculate upon my return. She is a fabulous communicator, and kept me informed of her schedule, sent lots of pictures and videos of Isla, and made sure to clarify with me on any instructions I left for her. Her passion and love for animals really showed in the way she thoughtfully cared for Isla, and Isla absolutely adored her!! I truly felt like my dog was having a vacation of her own and getting spoiled and loved on, which made it easier to be away from her for so long. Saoirse is professional and also incredibly kind. We will definitely have her back next time we need a sitter!

Saoirse was AMAZING!!! Very communicative, responsive and wonderful with both me cat and dog. She came to my home and we did a meet and greet and immediately I trusted her. She sent pictures of the animals etc... I will 100% be using her again and I highly recommend her.

Dog Walking • Mar 07, 2026

Saoirse was excellent with my golden retriever. She helped us out last minute when I broke my leg, and braved a downpour for an hour with a very energetic dog. Cedar is used to several miles of walks a day (he’s a working dog) and desperately needed to stretch his legs. Thank you again!
