Hi there! I’m a pediatric registered nurse with a lifelong passion for dogs and extensive experience caring for them. Growing up, I had dachshunds, basset hounds, chihuahuas, Pomeranians, and rescue dogs, and I’ve also pet sat for various breeds—including Japanese Spitz, poodles, border collies, Bernese Mountain Dog-poodle crosses, and kelpies. I’m comfortable with elderly dogs needing medication and those with specific health needs, like dachshunds with back issues. I’ve recently moved to Dublin from Australia (leaving my beloved hound with my parents - and cannot wait to give your pup all the love and attention. I love exploring the city’s parks and green spaces—perfect for dog walks! I can guarantee a minimum of 30 mins, depending on your dogs needs. As someone who sees dogs as part of the family, I believe they deserve dedicated care, companionship, and respect. Rest assured, your dog will receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while you’re away! I will follow any and all instructions about your fur baby's routine and diet, and if permitted by you will allow the dog onto the bed and couch for snuggles! I have house sat and dog sat previously in Sydney, and am happy to treat your house as my own, water plants, collect mail etc and of course care for your beloved pooch! I KNOW PETS CAN FRET WHEN WE GO AWAY, so I will spend the majority of the day at home with them, excluding when working (nursing), a few errands and of course taking them out for walks! Home visits - you can expect a minimum of a hour with snuggles, playtime, a short walk, toileting or whatever your pet may need! While I’m a true dog lover, I should mention that I’m allergic to cats, so I focus exclusively on canine care. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend! I also can care for small animals - I've had pet rabbits, guinea pigs and mice growing up.
