About Caoimhe
As the caption says Ive worked professionally as a zoo keeper and have been in the animal industry for over 10 years. Day to day I work with rhinos, tigers, monkeys, raccoons, you name it!
I have a BSc (hons) in Zoology and before this also received a degree in Animal Welfare and Science. I’ve dedicated my life to my love for animals and am very knowledgeable on diets, common conditions and also positive reinforcement training. I have managed a petshop in ireland for a number of years and studied diets of domesticated animals so I’m very knowledgeable on this. I also have done countless years of behavioural and positive reinforcement training on everything from parrots, dogs, cats, rats and even rhinos. I’m extremely passionate about my love for animals and want to look after them with the same care and love you would and happy to lend any knowledge from years working with animals in rescue shelters, animal sanctuary’s, zoos and vet clinics!
I have experience managing an animal boarding centre that boarded and cared for everything from small animal, exotics, fish, bird and reptiles as well as experience boarding dogs and cats in my own home and in their own home. I’m always going above and beyond because this is where my passion lies and I want to hear about your pet and happy to share any advice or help anywhere i can! I want you and your pet to feel as comfortable as you can and I have experience with animals with many medical conditions and I also have completed grooming and canine first aid courses.
Working with animals I am massive on enrichment and creating a safe but fun environment for your pet to enjoy. I love to clicker train and create a positive experience for the animal! I love to walk and am very active so going out to your dogs favourite place or finding them a new one is something I love to do. When pet sitting the attention to your dog and keeping them stimulated and happy is also important to me.
I am very flexible in terms of my routine, the house itself has an enclosed garden with lots of space, a big kitchen living area as well as a local park 5 minute walk away as well as many other larger places with dog parks available
