NOTE: from 27th April til September I will be based in North Kerry (Tarbert). I can do as far as Tralee to as far as Limerick City.

Hi there! I'm a 2nd Year student in UCC; studying languages. I'm living in student accommodation so its better that I'm either out and about walking your dog or minding pets in your own home. I've always had a passion for pets though! I grew up on a farm in Kerry (dairy with the odd sheep, chickens and turkeys) and I actually did work experience in a Veterinarian's a few years ago and found the work quite interesting. I myself own 2 dogs (border collie and lab-samoyed) and a cat back home in Kerry.

I offer a variety of services such as dog walking, house visits, overnights and more. I have minded a dog for someone before, he was a border collie and his owner asked that I mind him again a few months later. I take vaccinated pets and unvaccinated by request. I can also give medication to your pet as I've often done so for my dogs.

Home Visits: I'll make sure your pet is in good hands - they will be well-fed, played with, given plenty water and taken for walks. I will be able to do any chores you need done eg watering plants and bringing in the post.

Walks: My walks are anywhere between 30 minutes and 2 hours: it all depends on your pet's ability and what you require. For example, my lab-samoyed is only able for 30 minute walks now as she's old and has arthritis. However, in her prime she'd be well able for 2 hour walks. I usually like to go for walks in Fitzgerald's Park or The Lough.

House sitting: I will be at your house whenever I don't have classes (I'm in college from 2-4 hours each day). I can stay overnight if you want as well, making sure I'm with your pet for as long as possible giving the utmost care. Obviously I will make sure all doors are locked at all times and any big windows shut when I leave the house. I will also do any chores you need done while you're away.

I love animals of all sizes. No matter the size; big or small: I take them all! If your pet has any special requirements please don't hesitate to let me know.
