About Sarah

Hello! I am a student with a passion for all animals big and small. I am from the Castleknock area and have lived in Dublin my whole life. My hobbies include horse riding and playing tennis. I currently have a dog named Meg who is a seven year old collie, lab mix. I am very academic and love school but I still always find time to walk, play with and groom my baby Meg. Now that I have finished my Leaving Cert, I have much more time to spend with Meg, but there is only so far I can walk her! that is why I'm looking for new puppers to walk, sit and play with. I am still unable to drive (currently learning!) so my clients would have to be local enough! I have walked many dogs belonging to my extended family in the past so I am no stranger to handling new dogs. I love the outdoors so rain or shine I am always out there keeping fit and getting my exercise in. When I am not with dogs or riding horses, I love getting coffee with friends, reading and taking photos. Along with walking I can do home visits, invloving playing, feeding and any other requirements. And if you are holidaying without your doggy I can visit twice a day to feed, water, walk, poo pick and more. In the future I would love to one day own my own animal related business! I have built up relationships with many clients who I regularly pet sit for and would love to have more short term or long term clients.

Services:

  • I offer hour long dog walks that start at €10.
  • Every additional dog added is €4 per pup.
  • I live very close to a dog park so if your dog is sociable they can have a great time playing there with other dogs.
  • If your dog is not so sociable the park is often quiet so if free they can still get the opportunity to have some off leash time.
  • I have walked many different types of dogs both big and small, reactive and quiet, so I can cater to most needs.
    • I also offer home visits.
    • I can pop into your pet either once or twice a day, whichever suits you best!
    • One home visit is €10 and two a day is €15
    • Perfect for if your pet gets anxious being left home alone for extended periods of time or if you are going away I can take great care of them.
    • During the visits I can feed your pet, pick up poop, top up water, cuddle, play and anything else you think your pet needs.
    • I have previous experience minding cats, dogs and other small animals such as rabbits, guinea pigs, birds, chickens, rodents, reptiles and fish.
    • As I am a teenager I cannot drive just yet so any clients would have to be local enough, within walking or cycling distance!

      Unfortunately the experience with Sarah was not as expected. The initial meeting seemed all well, but the actual sitting did not go as expexted. We saw on the camera that the cat asked for attention, and the cat was just waved away, when we came back, we noticed 2 bowls full of old wet food, the room containing the litterbox was dirty rrom all the litter that fell out as the cleaning of the litterbox was not done the way as instructed. Visits lasted a mere 5-10 minutes and seemed more hurried and a job for a quick buck than actual love for the animals.

      Response from sitter: “Hi, I believe this review is quite unfair and the accusation that I would wave an animal away is very disheartening. I also think it is unfair to expect me to clean the room containing the litter box and not just the litter box itself. I was not provided with gloves or any cleaning equipment also, making this a surprising thing to read. Lastly, I charge very low prices because I am NOT only trying to make a “quick buck” and because I have a very busy schedule that does not allow for me to spend an hour or two playing with animals. My primary concern are their basic needs like food and water. before this booking started, I was set out tasks and completed them every day to my understanding, therefore I think complaining I didn’t do extra things we didn’t agree on is unfair. I would like to think this has been an issue of miscommunication and misunderstanding of my services.”

      Sarah took great care of our 10wk old kitten recently. She is an excellent communicator, replies promptly to messages and arrived as promised for our meet & greet. Our little furball was very content on our return after Sarah’s care. Highly recommended.
