Every pet is a star
Pet care experience
I have a lifetime of experience in personal pet ownership and over 13 years of experience as a professional in pet care. I trained my own dogs and am comfortable with oral and injected medications. I am happy to care for any pet, not just dogs and cats. I have owned and cared for birds, reptiles, and even invertebrates. There is no animal I will shy away from.
Reviews
Thanks for being so reliable and flexible with us. We appreciate you going above and beyond the call of duty to take care of our Doggos! 😘
Saoirse is wonderful! It is obvious from the time you meet her that she loves pets. Our dog took to her right away, and that is very unusual for him. We will definitely be using her again in the near future!
Thank you for all you do for us and our doggies 😊
Saoirse was great! I felt very comfortable leaving my rambunctious husky boys with her for the week. She was always available and responded quickly before and during my vacation. Thanks again!!
About Saoirse S.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
One of my main personal rules for liability sake is that I do not interact with other people or animals while out walking. The only exception is if I'm explicitly told of playmates in the neighborhood. I carry my own supply of doggy waste bags as well as multiple leads and dog treats. On more than one occasion, I have come across a loose dog and reunited them with their family, so it's simply a precaution now. I follow as closely to your pet's normal schedule as possible. Comfort and safety are my priorities while caring for your beloved pets. I always follow directions down to the letter, to the best of my ability.
Information Saoirse S. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your animal has any special needs or quirks (i.e. eating cicadas, doesn't get along with certain animals in the area, etc.) that I need to watch out for so I can keep everybody as safe as possible.
A typical day
I walk at a fairly brisk pace, unless a dog physically cannot handle more than a leisurely stroll. This way, the pup gets more exercise and expends more energy.

Availability
Walking dogs is currently my only work. I have the availability in my schedule for TWO (2) additional daily walks or drop-ins consistently Monday through Friday.
