Hey, my name is Tadgh! I'm 22 years old, and a Masters student living in Dublin. I'm an experienced cat owner and I've cared for kittens, retirement cats, disabled cats, and cats with behavioural issues, I love them all the same. I also have experience with dogs of all ages, and there are no breeds I would be unhappy to work with. I love walking dogs, and I have no problem with big guys and girls, even if they pull on a lead! I'm looking to walk and visit some dogs particularly, as I miss my dog that lives with my parents, but I love all kinds of animals and keep cats myself so I am more than happy to help out, no matter what species your companion is.
I am experienced in giving animals medication, including injections and tablets.
While under my care, I will treat your pet as my own. They won't be left unsupervised, and I will follow your direction on how well socialised the dog is - if you have a nervous or temperamental pet, I'm happy to work with you to plan a route they won't mind for walks. I'm very active and will keep up with active animals, but I'm also happy to take it slowly with older or calmer pets. I can bring my own toys/balls, or use your own. I don't mind needy or distant pets, I always make sure to match the energy and mood of the animal so they remain as comfortable as possible. I'm very respectful of other people's space, so if I came to your home I would leave it exactly as I found it. Please get in touch if you have any more questions!
Note: flexible house sitting rates available depending on how many hours of care your pet needs, just ask!

Tadgh walked our dog and also did some dog sitting for us while we were away. He was fantastic, I can highly recommend. The dog was injured at the time and needed some extra care and attention and Tadgh took great care of her.
I have had a great experience with Tagdh, he was cat sitting for my two cats. In advance of the sitting he came on a meeting visit which let me see how he was able to sit back and let the cats come to him and they showed they were very relaxed around him. Tadgh sent me photos everyday and I came home to two very happy relaxed cats and clean litter trays! Tadgh checked in with me in case I got delayed on my travels and he would have done an unplanned house call if needed, which was very practical and much appreciated. I could see from the photos how relaxed and taken with Tadgh the cats were, one of them up close and personal to his face which he only does with family! So all in all a great experience. I would highly recommend.
