Growing up I was always surrounded by family pets & animals, from a tiny hamster to a huge horse. I was always taught to treat all animals with respect & love. The unconditional love of an animal cannot be matched. That is what I aim to provide through my petsitting service, an environment where your pet feels safe & loved.

Myself & my wife Lorna lived in Auckland, New Zealand for 3 years. While there we were petsitters for Pawshake & it was one of the best experiences, we had many repeat clients who we miss terribly. We were thrilled when we realized Pawshake operates in Ireland too & that we would have the opportunity to continue petsitting here. We have now been petsitting for 7 years & we adore it.

If we were looking after your pet you can be guaranteed they would have our undivided attention & care for the time we are with them. As active people who love to keep fit dogwalking is the perfect excuse to get out for some fresh air. We would offer a maximum of 1 hour long walks with possible trips to a beach or park on the weekends. We have experience with older dogs, dogs that are not quite lead trained & administering medications. We have looked after may animals, from cats & dogs to chinchillas & bearded dragons. During home visits we would stay for a maximum of 45 minutes making sure everything requested for this time is complete. During home stays we will look after the house like it is our own, always leaving it the same way we found it. We can also provide many reviews and feedback from our clients in New Zealand & Ireland.

Lorna works Monday- Friday, most days from home, while I work 3 days a week so we have quite a lot of flexibility. We hope you will consider Claws 'n' Paws as your petsitting service & we look forward to hearing from you.
