Hello! My name is Amanda Carvalho.

I am originally from Brazil, 32 years old, and currently based in Limerick. My relationship with dogs spans my entire life: I grew up around them and have a genuine, lifelong love for animals. Anyone with pets knows how much you miss them when you are away from home, and since moving to Ireland, having that daily canine companionship is what I miss the most. Walking and caring for your dog is something I do with absolute dedication, joy, and warmth.

Why you can trust me with your dog:

• Maturity & Dependability: With a solid background as an entrepreneur and years in client-facing roles, I bring high standards of professionalism to everything I do. You can rely on my punctuality, open communication, and complete respect for your home and your dog’s routine.

• Active Lifestyle & Physical Awareness: Holding a background in Physical Education and maintaining a regular running and walking routine, I understand how essential exercise is for physical health and mental balance. I know how to match the right pace for your pet—whether that means a brisk, energy-burning walk for an active pup or a gentle, sensory-rich stroll for an older or more relaxed dog.

• Safety & Full Attention: When I am walking your dog, they have 100% of my focus. I do not use phones for personal distractions during walks. I ensure secure leash handling, keep them hydrated, monitor weather conditions, and stay observant of canine body language to prevent any stressful encounters with other dogs or street hazards.

I always send photo and message updates after every walk so you have complete peace of mind knowing your dog is happy and well cared for.

I would love to arrange a free, no-obligation meet-and-greet so you and your pet can get to know me beforehand!

For home visits: Basic Care and Feeding

Daily washing of food bowls and replacing water with fresh, filtered water. Cleaning up waste from the yard or changing pee pads/newspapers (for dogs). Play sessions using the pet's favorite toys (wands, balls, obstacle courses).

Brushing and affection for pets that enjoy physical contact.

Respecting the personal space and pace of shy or frightened animals by maintaining a calm presence.

A short walk around the block for bathroom breaks (for dogs, provided it falls within the agreed-upon timeframe). Sending a detailed report after each visit, including photos and videos of the pet eating and playing. Watering plants and ensuring doors and windows are securely locked upon departure.
