Hello!
I'm Liam! I used to be a university student in Galway, and I now live with my husband in Ferns, Co. Wexford. I am very experienced with large and small dogs and have had both dogs and cats (and turtles, ducks, fish, hermit crabs, and hamsters) all my life. Additionally, I have lots of experience working on farms and in barns and with larger animals like horses and cows.
I can care for exotic animals if given instructions, which I will follow carefully and am very good at problem solving. I can teach basic tricks to dogs and certain cats over a period of time (sit, stay, come, lay down, etc.) but have no offical training for that. I have previous experience with amateur puppy training as well (potty training, crate training, meal training)
Housestays are preferable at the current time, though I can travel along bus lines if you live close to me. I cannot take animals into my own home right now as I am renting and my house is very small. Additionally, I do not have my own car, so I must currently work around my husband's work schedule.
I will also take lots of photos of your pet, and can bring my Sony RX10 camera to get better and more professional shots by request.
I used to go by Alex, hence the discrepancy between my profile and my reviews.
Full refund if canceled before 12:00 p.m. one day before the booking, 50% refund afterward.
No refund is payable if the booking is canceled on or after the start date.
Note: All times are based on the sitter’s time zone
So happy with Alex and her care of my cat Thorn for 6 days. She sent me pictures and daily updates which was great and I know that Thorn was very taken with her. Will definitely contact her again should I need Thorn minded and would absolutely recommend her to mind your pets
Alex looked after my two lionhead bunnies for about two weeks. The bunnies received excellent care from Alex and I received daily updates with photos. I had the piece of mind because I knew my bunnies are well looked after by Alex. I highly recommend Alex!
