About Thais
🐾 Your Pet’s New Best Friend 🐾
Hi! I’m Thais, a 36-year-old Brazilian living in beautiful Ireland and a lifelong animal lover with a heart (and home) wide open for furry friends.
Back in Brazil, I have two beloved dogs who are part of my soul. Being away from them has only deepened my love for animals — and my understanding of just how important it is to leave your pet with someone who treats them like family. That’s exactly what I offer.
Whether it’s tail wags, slow blinks, or little happy hops .. I get animals. Caring for them isn’t just a job to me.. it’s a joy, a privilege, and a big part of who I am.
💕 What You Can Expect
I provide loving, reliable care that’s tailored to your pet’s needs and personality. Whether they’re shy snugglers or adventurous tail-chasers, I’ll make sure they feel safe, seen, and seriously spoiled while you’re away.
🦴 My Services
🏡
Dog Boarding (in my home)
Think of it as a mini-vacation for your pup! I live in a cozy, spacious house with a secure outdoor area and plenty of green parks nearby for sniff-tastic walks. Your dog will be part of my daily routine .. no crates, no stress, just cuddles, playtime and all-day company.

Home Visits
Each visit (30–45 minutes) includes:
Fresh food & water
Playtime & cuddles
Brushing & medication (if needed)
Small extras like watering plants or bringing in the mail
Perfect for cats, older pets, or those who prefer the comfort of their own home.
🐕
Dog Walking Adventures
30-minute walks in safe, pet-friendly areas — parks, quiet streets, or even forest trails. I’ll follow your usual route if preferred, or take them somewhere new for a little adventure. You’ll get updates and cute photos from every walk!
🏠
House Sitting (in your home)
Heading away? I can stay with your pet in their home where they feel most relaxed. I’ll keep their routine as normal as possible, and you’ll receive regular photos and updates. I’m tidy, trustworthy, and happy to help with small chores too (watering plants, bins, etc.).

My house is large with a great outdoor area perfect for playing with pets and also for them to have contact with fresh air. I live next to Rathfarnham Castle and have an excellent park right outside my door for taking walks. I have enough space to take care of your pet, feed them, and treat them as if they were a member of my family!
I have availability during the week and also on weekends because I work with the Pet Friends team. We are three people who take care of the pets, so we ensure that there is always someone with them while they are with us.
We don't currently have pets in my house, so working with this fulfills us in many ways!
* We always ask owners to bring their pet's favorite food and toys for the days their pet stays with us*
