Róisín

Hello, My name is Róisín, I am a passionate animal lover currently looking to work part-time on PawShake. I have been using pawshake for pet boarding/walking and sitting during Covid both in Ireland and Scotland. I had the privilege to mind dozens of wonderful dogs and cats, but had to stop due to work. I am now in a position where i work 4 days a week, and would love to open up my heart and home to animals again! I'm open to minding any pets, cats, dogs, guinea pigs, hamsters, pigs, chickens, horses etc. (Home boarding depending) I absolutely adore animals of all kinds. I have alwys owned animals my whole life; cats, dogs, fish, guinea pigs,  horses and rabbits. I miss caring for animals and couldn't think of anything better than petsitting to help someone out. I have loads of experience in caring for animals; including doing extensive voluntary work at the cork animal shelter in Mahon where I groomed, cleaned, fed and walked all sorts of animals, ranging from dogs to cats to chickens to lizards and birds. I also volunteered in horse stables for years riding and caring for horses. I recently fostered an older rescue lurcher for 5 months during the COVID lockdown, learning so much on the way. I also volunteered at My lovely pig rescue for 1 month which involved care of pigs, horses, sheep and chickens daily.

I am joyful and energetic person who would be able to keep up with any animal care needs; walking, cleaning, feeding and just general cuddling and playtime! I own a car which is pet-friendly. I love nature and genuinely would be delighted with any excuse to get outside. I live right next to many beautiful walks and parks, all beautiful scenic dog-friendly locations ideal for dog walking. I walk dogs for an hour/ hour and a half. I am also 100% open to commuting somewhere to walk dogs or collections/drop-offs if that is something you are looking for! Having my degree in biology means I understand a lot about animals, illnesses and nutritional needs, etc, helping ensure I want to put everything into making this the best experience for your dog possible and being a fully transparent pet sitter/walker. I'm looking forward to meeting you, and your lovely pet, thank you in advance!
