Pet care experience

Lover of all pets big or small

Hi there, my name is Yvonne and I’m a self-confessed animal lover. I’ve spent my whole life surrounded by animals of all kinds, dogs, horses, alpacas so I have a lot of experience with different pets. I absolutely love all animals and love spending time caring for them. I also have experience with rescue animals, I rescued two goats a few years ago and a cat which was abandoned in terrible condition. I love animals but I think dogs especially are amazing companions for people. While living abroad, I really missed my own pets and decided to take up dog walking as a way to make some furry friends.
 I worked with Sam’s Bark Buddies, a professional dog-walking company based in London, where I walked dogs several times a week and provided drop-in house visits. I also coordinated group walks with a colleague, managing groups of up to 15 dogs. During this time, I was responsible for each dog’s individual needs, including caring for anxious dogs, senior dogs, and those with additional medical or behavioural requirements.
 I’m now based in Galway and available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and in-home pet sitting. I enjoy jogging, so if you have a high-energy dog, I’m more than happy to take them out for a run too! I’m available for walks on weekday mornings until 9am and any evening after 5pm, as well as at any time on weekends. For drop-in visits, I’m available at any time within Galway City, and mornings and evenings for surrounding areas. I am also available at any stage for pet sitting. 
Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions. Thanks a million, 
 Yvonne ☺️ 🐾

Yvonne’s caring and attentive nature makes sure that all animals in her care are looked after exceptionally well. Her genuine love for animals is so evident to see. Her upbringing on a farm has provided her with a wealth of experience looking after a wide range of different animals. Yvonne is an excellent communicator, is practical, responsible and loves being active ensuring your animal will get plenty of exercise. Yvonne has looked after my own dogs numerous times and I feel completely at ease knowing my pets are in the best care possible!
