About Pinja

Hi, I'm Pinja! Nice to meet you ☺️

I offer mainly house sitting services, where I come stay in your house with your pet to take care of them in a comfortable setting for your furry companion. I'm an experienced house sitter, and I have experience with all kinds of dogs from big to small, from chill to very energetic! I can also do dog walking and house visits but only in the Fairview area where I live.

I'm originally from Finland but have lived abroad in 6 different countries over the past 6 years. I'm 24 years old and been living in Ireland for almost a year now. Currently I'm working at a tech company in sales. I'm also still studying at the university, I'm doing an MBA degree. Most of my day consists of problem-solving in front of my computer 😄 thankfully my job and university degree are flexible, so I'm able to fit everything into my schedule.

I'm living in the beautiful Fairview right next to the park. Almost all my previous house sitting jobs have been in Howth where I used to live. I'm especially welcome to house sitting jobs within Dart or within a walking distance from my house.

I heard about this app from a co-worker and thought that this would be a great hobby for me! I just love dogs, I miss my dogs in Finland so much that I think it's a great win-win situation to be able to do pet sitting like this.

I'm a huge animal lover and I have 2 dogs of my own in Finland who are now living with my parents (Finnish Lapphund).

I have a lot of experience with dogs, and love to do some pet sitting to cheer up both me and the furry friends! I get along with all kinds of dogs, no matter if they are shy or more extroverted. I also have experience in dog training and can help you train your pup as well. I have raised 3 litters of puppies and trained my 2 dogs.

I have some knowledge in dog healthcare as well, I used to dream of being a vet so I did some studying especially relating to dogs. I just have a lot of practical knowledge as well, from paw infections to scratches in the eyes. Dogs can really sometimes do silly things, I once paid 400€ at the vet because my dog was breathing funny, turns out she had inhaled a single strand of hay through her nose and it reached from her nose to her stomach. Luckily it was rather easy to remove, the vet was quite impressed I even noticed it at all!

I used to also offer other dog services, but I noticed that house sitting is definitely the most booked service from me, and it also fits into my life the easiest. If you wish to book other dog services, we can discuss it. It's just the easiest for me and the pet if I come stay with them in the environment where they are comfortable. I love seeing dogs happy! ❤️

My requirements for staying over are just a bed where I can sleep in, and a working Wi-Fi since I do work and studies on my laptop. Of course I'll take care of your house/apartment as well as your pets, and clean up after myself etc.

I'm open to other animals as well, I have some experience with cats, bunnies, guinea pigs and hamsters. I also have experience with cows, horses, sheep and pigs! Although dogs are definitely the animal I have the most experience with.

I'm a trustworthy dog sitter and as I have 2 dogs of my own (not living with me), I know how it is to leave your dogs and how heartbreaking it can be! I want to assure you, I have loads of experience with animals and I'll do everything in my power to make them feel loved.

Please contact me if you have any questions, I'm happy to chat with you! 😊

Pinja has been great with us since the first time we got in contact with her. She was very polite, communicative and responsive. We booked with her last minute because our previous sitter canceled and Pinja was there to rescue us. Pinja also made time to meet and great beforehand to get to know the dogs. We have two large sized labs that can be a bit handful sometimes but that was no challenge for Pinja. She gave them loads of cuddles, she walked them and gave them her undivided attention. She even sent us pictures and updates throughout the day to let us know the dogs were safe and well. We could definitely tell she is indeed a dog lover. We highly recommend her and we will sure have her watch our dogs again in the future.
