Hi, my name is Solen. I am 21 years old and an avid animal lover! I'm obsessed with all kinds of animals, big and small. I am based in Stillorgan, Dublin.

I offer home visits for cats, dogs or exotic pets, and dog walking for dogs of all breeds/sizes!

I am currently in my second year studying Veterinary nursing in UCD. I already have a level 5 qualification in Animal care from DFEI, where I studied subjects such as animal behaviour, welfare and small animal husbandry. I have an AniEd Canine first aid certification.

I have been surrounded by dogs and exotic animals for my entire life, and I wouldn't have it any other way! The day I turned 16, I handed in my application forms to the DSPCA in Rathfarnham and was accepted as a volunteer. I began volunteering weekly in both the dog and cat rehoming sections. I have also been providing small pet boarding and cat house visits for many years.

Home visits: I'd love to come and feed, clean and provide company for your pet while you're away or working. I usually do about 45 minutes - an hour per visit, but sometimes I might get carried away playing and stay longer! I am comfortable giving any medication needed and am happy to send photos or updates during my visits!

Dog walking: Due to my time in various animal courses and volunteering in the DSPCA, I am comfortable with a variety of dog breeds and sizes. I'd be thrilled to walk your dog for you on weekdays while you are working! Walks are usually 30 - 45 minutes long, but this can be tailored to your dogs needs :)

Small pet boarding: I also run an in-home minding service for small pets such as ferrets, chinchillas, guinea pigs, etc. I have experience with many species and would be happy to discuss boarding your pet for you while you're away!

Thank you for considering me. Please feel free to message me for more info or if you have any questions, I'm happy to help!
