Hi there! I'm Jane – a passionate animal lover based in Douglas, Cork. 🐾

I'm currently in my second year of studying Veterinary Nursing at St. John's Central College Cork, where I've also completed a full Animal Care course. Through my studies and hands-on experience, I've developed a strong foundation in animal health, behaviour, welfare, and care.

Over the past two years, I’ve completed hundreds of hours of clinical placement in veterinary practices, gaining invaluable real-world experience with animals of all types. My goal is to soon work full-time as a qualified veterinary nurse – a career I’m extremely excited about!

In addition to my local training, I’ve had the amazing opportunity to take part in two Erasmus+ placements abroad. Most recently, in June 2025, I spent a month in Turkey working at a veterinary clinic, where I assisted with patient care, surgical prep, post-op monitoring, and general animal handling – including both pets and farm animals. This experience gave me deeper insight into international veterinary practices and broadened my clinical confidence.

In May 2024, I completed another month-long Erasmus placement in Alicante, Spain, where I worked alongside a veterinarian at an animal shelter. There, I helped care for dogs and cats, supported treatment plans, and gained hands-on experience in shelter medicine and rehabilitation.

For the past year, I’ve also been offering pet sitting services, and I’m confident caring for animals of all sizes, temperaments, and medical needs. Whether your pet needs a short visit, a walk, or overnight care, I always aim to provide a safe, calm, and loving environment.

Thanks to my veterinary background, I’m trained in canine first aid, and well-versed in nutrition, safe handling, animal behaviour, grooming, and recognising early signs of illness or distress. Most importantly, I truly enjoy spending time with animals and pride myself on being a dependable, compassionate caregiver.

Services I offer:
🐕 House visits
🐾 Dog walking
🏡 Overnight stays

If you're looking for someone experienced, trustworthy, and truly passionate about animals, I’d love to help care for your furry friends as if they were my own!
