Lucy

Hi! I'm Lucy and I'm a 3rd year vet student at UCD. I decided to join Pawshake because I miss my own animals and I just don't interact with enough animals in class! My current pets, 2 cats and a dog, are back home while I'm in college so I'd love some fur babies to pamper, hopefully yours! I grew up on a dairy farm and I've owned pets my whole life (from cats/dogs to rabbits/parrots!). I always thought pet sitting/dog walking etc. would be the perfect side job for me but I never had the chance to start until now. I earned a 4 year undergraduate degree in Animal Sciences before starting on my veterinary degree. I also have work experience in small animal clinics along with research animals at another veterinary school. So I'm comfortable giving medication or caring for special needs animals if that is the case!

My services include dog walking, house/pet sitting, and house checks. Since I am a student my availabilty is limited during the week day but I can work around my schedule and most weekends I’ll be available. I can walk dogs for however long you'd like from 30 minutes to an hour if requested and of course that includes lots of love and pets. I can do house checks/house sitting if you're going out of town and want to make sure your pet is safe and happy while you're gone!

For picking up animals/visiting your home, I can only walk or take a bus therefore areas near UCD/South Dublin are the easiest for me to get to but I will of course travel further if able. I would love to meet you and your pets and look forward to hearing from you! Any questions or requests are welcome.
