Formerly known as Dearbhail, my pronouns are they/them/theirs!

I am a gentle, trustworthy and caring person who moved to Dun Laoghaire to study animation in IADT.

Before I moved I used to walk, train and care for dogs and cats in a well-known rescue centre. I am a frequent volunteer at rescues and can't wait to foster and adopt pets of my own someday! I am passionate about animal welfare and force free animal husbandry.

I have owned both cats and dogs and have received training in cat care and dog care. I'm also experienced with aquariums. I keep myself well informed and adhere to positive reinforcement training only - never dominance or aversive methods (I will not use prong collars, shock collars or choke chains on dogs). I am more than happy to do overnight stays with your pets in your own home, I am scrupulously tidy and mindful of other people's spaces!

I bring my own food and toiletries and will adhere to your usual daily routine for your pets, giving them as much love or space as they require. :) However, for the time being, I cannot board pets in my own home due to the landlord's requirements. I can only take on one house-sitting booking at a time. I can happily administer oral medications on a regular schedule but have no current training in injectables.
