Hello,
My name is Josiane, but you can call me Josi :)
I am a 34 years old brazilian pet sitter. I have 2 cats: Panqueca &amp; Quindim. Both are non defined breed and they were adopted from shelters when they were still kittens. I still don't have dogs due to the lack of space in my apartment :(
But, in the future I plan to live in a house with a large yard where my dogs can run and play all day long. I believe that with the correct introduction and training cats and dogs can be friends.&nbsp;
In my profile picture you can meet my Irish friend Sebastian. He was the first pet that I took care when I first arrived in Ireland. We became friends very easily. His mommy and daddy received videos and pictures of him during my pet sitting visitis to their house.
I also like walking dogs because they are full of energy and joy. I have this feeling that they are always smiling at me. Their happy faces and their wagging tails are so lovely. How can someone don't fall in love with them? It is impossible! They are just adorable *.*
I'm passionate about animals. They are the "best people" in the world since they just want to be loved, no matter if you are rich or poor.


My name is Marien, i'm from México. I came to Irland to learn english. I love and respect all kind of animals especially dogs. I have four dogs and i love them  so much. I belive that animals can be an important part in our lives for example I read that interacting with animals lowers cortisol levels (a hormone related to stress). Giving them a decent life is the least we can do to return all the love they give us. I worked on a Hotel dog taking care of them and maintaining the place.My name is Marien, i'm from México.

Animals have always played a very meaningful role in my life, and working as a pet walker is something that connects directly with my passion and sense of purpose. I genuinely enjoy being around pets, and I understand how important daily walks are not only for physical health, but also for a dog’s emotional balance, mental stimulation, and overall happiness. My main focus is always to provide safe, enjoyable, and attentive walks that respect each dog’s individual personality, energy level, and routine needs.

Back in Brazil, I had three dogs named Zeca, Theo, and Nina, who are still my greatest love and inspiration. Living with them and taking care of them every single day gave me hands-on experience with all aspects of dog care, including feeding routines, daily exercise, behavior observation, training reinforcement, and emotional support. Through them, I learned how each dog has a unique personality, communication style, and level of energy, which taught me to be more patient, responsible, and observant. They also helped me understand how important consistency and affection are in building trust and stability with animals.

This daily experience over the years strengthened my knowledge of canine behavior and deepened my passion for working with dogs. I became very familiar with reading body language, recognizing signs of stress or excitement, and adapting my approach depending on the dog’s needs. Whether it was helping a nervous dog feel more comfortable, managing high-energy playtime, or simply providing calm companionship, I learned how to respond in a way that makes the dog feel safe and understood.

I consider myself patient, reliable, and very attentive, always prioritizing the safety, comfort, and well-being of every dog under my care. I am confident handling dogs of different sizes, breeds, and temperaments, and I always aim to create a positive and trusting relationship with each one. I also believe that reinforcement of good behaviors through consistency, calm guidance, and positive reinforcement is essential for a balanced routine.

In addition, I understand the importance of communication with pet owners. I always make sure to provide updates and feedback so they can feel reassured and confident that their pets are being cared for with responsibility and affection. For me, working with animals is not just a job, it is something I truly love, and I bring dedication, respect, and genuine care to every walk and every interaction.

Hello my name is Elva. I'm a fourth year vet student in UCD. I'm from Wicklow but I'm living up in Dublin during the week for college. I have ample experience with animals both from my home and from college thus far. At home we have two dogs, four cats and a handful of chickens. I miss spending time with animals during the week so I'd love the opportunity to walk or spend time with animals. 
I'm enthusiastic and committed to providing your pets with the best care possible and I'm happy to fulfil any extra requirements your pet might need such as giving them medication. I'm used to dealing with senior pets and pets with extra medical requirements. I have experience pet sitting for multiple households with dogs thus far. I have a car so I'm willing to travel. 
Please don't hesitate to contact me with any further questions :)
