Hi, I'm Dara! I'm 25, and live between Bray and Kimmage.

I've always had animals around - from a Cavalier King Charles called Elvis, to a black cat named Marvin and three different goldfish named Nemo 🐟 

For almost a year, I've been minding a gorgeous shih-tzu named Ernie twice a week. He hangs out with me at the office, I give him his lunch and we take an hour walk around Merrion Square or Stephens Green. He's definitely the most popular person at work :)

I've also fostered dogs and kittens for the DSPCA, and have volunteered to walk all my friends' dogs at some point. I'm a big believer in positive reinforcement, respect and as much love and kindness as possible. I don't think there's no such thing as a bad dog 🐕

I'm happy to do sleepovers, check-ins, walks and runs - whatever suits you and your pet best! I'll always treat a pet like it's my own.
