Growing up, my family always had dogs (labradors, boxers, pit bulls) and I quickly fell in love with them. As an adult, my love for dogs of all kinds has only grown. My wife and I have a small dachshund mix named Lipsi and we were many of our friends' go-to dog sitters where we are from in the U.S. Now that we are in Dublin, I have missed seeing, walking, and caring for other dogs. As a result, I decided it was time to sign up for a pet sitting service.

I work remotely part time (20 hrs/week) for a non-profit based in the United States and have flexible hours, so my schedule can accommodate your unique dog sitting needs. As I work from home, I will be with the pet for the entire day. I have also created a schedule which ensures that your pet will receive at least 15 minutes of attention for every daytime hour I am with them.

I offer daycare for your dog in my home, but due to size constraints, I cannot accept overnight boarding. As I have a dog, I only accept vaccinated pets in my home. 18 kg maximum for dogs to stay in my home (day care). In my home, dogs are allowed to nap on any of three dog beds (pictured) as well as on the living room chairs and couch (with your permission). Due to size constraints I can only accept 2 dogs for daycare services at one time.

My home has a small patio in the front, but your dog will never be out there unattended. The community my apartment is in is completely gated, but for safety dogs are kept on a leash at all times. My apartment is near Herbert Park so every day care includes at least two 30 minute walks through the park or one 30 minute walk every 3 hours (whichever is more frequent). Your dog will be on a leash at all times during walks unless you request otherwise.

I also offer dog walks (from your home or via drop-off at mine) as well as house sitting services. Dog walks typically last between 20-30 minutes and include a visit to a nearby park. I will pick up the dog's poo but ask that you provide baggies for this service. I can stay with the dog for a home visit up to 1 hour upon your request.

For house sitting services, there is no maximum weight for your dog. I have owned and watched large dogs before and know how to interact with them (even if they like to bark/growl!) When house sitting, I guarantee to be with your dog at least 6 hours each day and will never leave your pet home alone overnight. As I work remotely, I can spend all day with your pet, taking at least two 30 minute walks or one 30 minute walk every 3 hours (whichever is more frequent).

My schedule is very flexible, so for all of my services (daycare, dog walking, house sitting) I am available mornings, afternoons and evenings.

I prefer to meet your pet(s) before any bookings, so please reach out if you would like to set up a meeting. If you have any questions or concerns, do not hesitate to reach out to me. I'm looking forward to meeting your pet!
