I am an animal lover who has devoted her life to caring for animals. I have been working in a rehoming shelter for dogs for the past 2 and a half years, caring for, training and rehabilitating rescue dogs until they are ready for their new home. I have recently become an accredited dog trainer with International Association of Animal Behaviour Consultants. I have experience with all breed types, sizes and behaviours. I am aware of dogs behaviour and body language and will work with your dog to make them comfortable with me. I have a particular interest in nervous or worried dogs and take my time to build up their confidence with people and the world. The services I will be available for include walking, housesitting and trips to vets if needed. Additional services include training, socialisation and basic grooming. At the moment I am unavailable to take dogs into my own home.
I obtained a level 5 certificate in animal care and hold an Honours Degree in Multimedia from Dublin City University. In my animal care course I learnt animal behaviour, husbandry, welfare and grooming. I can walk and exercise small, medium and large dogs. I can also take multiple dogs at once. I have a full, clean drivers license and a car that I can transport dogs in. My favourite spots to bring my own dogs are Malahide castle, new bridge house and Portmarnock beach. I also love finding new forms of enrichment for dogs and finding ways to stimulate their brains so they're nice and relaxed in the home.
I am based in swords but can cater to the North County Dublin area including malahide, portmarnock, donabate etc.
House sitting: price includes one walk a day however extra walks can be added. I will also maintain the house/take in post/water plants etc.
Walking: a walk up to one hour. Will take your dog to a location that best suits their needs/physical requirements. Training can also be offered during the walk if tour dog has specific needs (reactivity, pulling on lead, no recall etc)
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
Aisling has walked our dogs a few times now. We are very happy with her service.
She takes long walks, the dog likes her, she’s respectful of our property. Makes sure dogs are dried off after walk.
She responds fast to queries.
I would recommend her to anyone that needs a dig walker
