Hello! 

I am a student in Animal Care at GTI and a translator. I am an animal lover through and through, and I have been pet-sitting casually for years now but now I'm trying to make animals my full time job. I have always been the friend and family member that people go to first when they need a pet sitter, and I have always had a pet to love and care for. I've pet-sitted cats and dogs many times, sometimes for several months at a time.

I like to make sure that if I'm taking care of a pet, it is as close to their usual routine as possible while establishing a good loving relationship with them. I love getting to know the individual animal to understand what they need and like. I love to go on long walks, play with them, create fun enrichment activities for them and just spend time with them. If you're seeking a pet-sitter who can cater to a pet's specific needs, such as a strict daily routine or regular medication, I'm more than willing to do exactly what you'd do for them. I understand that each pet is unique and requires individualized care. I am happy to brush coats and teeth and trim claws if needed, as I have trained as a dog groomer. I don't mind taking care of difficult pets.

I always make sure to send daily updates with pictures.

While I only have experience pet-sitting dogs and cats, I am eager to learn how to care for other animals.

If you're interested in housesitting, I can also take care of houseplants, general cleaning and post management.

I don't own a car so unless you are at walking distance from Merlin Castle, I can't pick up or drop-off your pet for dog boarding or doggy daycare. I study in Galway City Centre from Monday to Wednesday so I will only take house sittings on those days if public transport back and forth is possible. For the same reason, if you book two visits a day and you live more than a bus away, I will usually prefer to stay in your home and work from there in between the two visits to avoid long commutes several times a day.
