I am a 56 year-old artist from Glasgow who has moved to Donaghmede 2 years ago to be with my Dublin fella.  

Dogs have always played a big part in my life from childhood:  

· brought up with labradors  

· co-owning dogs with friends  

· live-in carer for dogs (and cats) while owners on vacation 

· latterly helped out a friend when setting up her dog-walking business 

I have got to know the parks and green spaces very well around Donaghmede, Clongriffin, Balgriffin and Baldoyle and love to see the dogs taking their space there. On weekends we would get dogs down to Burrow Beach. 

As a writer and video-maker working from home, my schedule is very flexible and can work around you and your pet’s needs.  

I can offer:  

· one or two 40 minute walks a day, primarily in local parks or on my local large green (available from early morning till early evening for walks) 

• daycare for your dog at my home - dog dropped off after 7.30am and collected around 6.30pm - walking & feeding your dog throughout the day

· administration of tablets  

I understand the importance of listening carefully to your specific instructions on your pet's feeding regime, administering medications, treat allowance, training/ command words, etc - Basically creating confidence quickly in your dog and I's new relationship.
