Deirdre

I am a lifelong animal lover and have a FETAC Certificate in Animal Care. I have many years experience of animal handling from horses to dogs and cats, reptiles, birds, fish and everything in between. I am now in my 40s and have been working full time as a dog walker and pet sitter for six years. Previously I worked in IT. I have gained work experience in pet shops, doggy daycare and riding schools. I offer dog walking and pet sitting in Bray, Greystones and surrounding areas.

I have experience with large dogs and difficult dogs. I own a very rambunctious Newfoundland so am used to strong dogs! I can take dogs in my car for off lead walks or walk them in around their locality depending on their own needs. I do one-to-one walks for dogs who need personal attention. I can take up to three dogs, whether from the same family or well socialised dogs that can be introduced to each other. I do not take more than three in one walk.

Cats are my favourite of all and I have a natural affinity with them. I can care for your cats in your own home while you are away.

I also do home visits and can care for small mammals (rabbits, rats, gerbils etc) and exotics (reptiles, birds, fish) in your own home. I owned budgies my entire life so can care for parrot and finch types easily. I have some experience looking after hens also.

I have trusted returning clients and available references.

Thanks for looking!
