Experienced Foster & Sitter - loving care in D5!

I've been around dogs my whole life and absolutely love spending time with them. Growing up with dogs taught me a lot about how to care for them, understand their needs, and give them plenty of love and attention. Over the years, I’ve fostered multiple dogs, each with their own personalities and quirks. It’s been such a rewarding experience helping them settle in, feel safe, and find their forever homes. I’ve also done plenty of pet sitting for friends, family, and others- whether it’s just for a weekend or longer stays. I’m comfortable with all kinds of dogs, from high-energy puppies to older dogs who just want a cuddle and a quiet walk. I always do my best to make sure they feel relaxed, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away. About My Services I offer loving, reliable care for dogs of all breeds and sizes. Whether it’s walks, sitting, or boarding, your dog will feel safe and happy in my care. How many dogs: I only board one dog at a time (or two from the same household) to give each dog the attention and calm environment they deserve. Training & Grooming: While I’m not a professional trainer or groomer, I’m happy to reinforce basic training and keep your pup brushed and clean. Walks: Walks are usually 30/40 minutes and can be adjusted to your dog’s age, energy level, and routine. How many walks per day: Dogs in my care get up to 2 walks per day, plus extra playtime in the garden! ⏰ Time With Pets During boarding, your dog will never be left alone for more than 2 hours. During daycare, I make sure dogs are never alone for more than 1 hour. If your dog cannot be left alone, please let me know during the booking. 📅 My Routine & Availability I work remotely and have a flexible schedule. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine. I’m usually available on weekdays and weekends- feel free to message me to check availability. 🏡 My Home & Family I live with my partner, who is just as dog-mad as I am- we’re both totally devoted to giving dogs a loving and fun experience. We have a secure, good-sized back garden that’s perfect for playtime, plus a large front garden for extra outdoor space. Our gates are safe and secure, and dogs are always supervised when outside. We prefer guest pets to sleep in their own bed in a secure room downstairs - if your dog needs to sleep in bed please let me know during booking as I can not accommodate this on a long term basis unfortunately As a lifelong animal lover and experienced dog fosterer, I bring empathy, patience, and reliability to every pet I care for. I’ve looked after dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments—including nervous rescues—ensuring they feel safe, loved, and well-cared-for in their owner's absence. My background in fostering through Dogs Trust means I understand the importance of routine, enrichment, and gentle behaviour management. I'm confident in managing feeding schedules, administering basic medication, and providing companionship through walks, play, and calm indoor time. Pets in my care are treated like family—with compassion, attention to detail, and a genuine love for animals. Your dog will stay in a calm, pet-friendly home in Artane with a secure garden at both the front and back, perfect for playtime and fresh air throughout the day. I work from home, so dogs are rarely left alone and get plenty of attention, companionship, and care. I’m close to St. Anne’s Park, with its lovely trails and dog park, and just a short drive from the beach for dogs who enjoy a swim. Whether they love walks, cuddles, or just a comfy spot to nap, your dog will be safe, happy, and treated like one of the family.
