Veronica & Jhon - Dog Sitter - Rathgar

Hello, we are Veronica and Jhon and we love animals because they are simply amazing! Especially dogs, they just make everything better. Growing up surrounded by dogs, we developed a deep understanding of their unique behaviour, needs, and unwavering loyalty, and now that we have more space in our home we would love to take care of different breeds and see their personalities shine. As dog lovers, our motivation for pet sitting stems from the joy and fulfilment we experience when caring for these incredible animals. Dogs hold a special place in our hearts, offering unconditional love, companionship, and endless moments of happiness. Each time we have the privilege of looking after a dog, it's not just a job – it's an opportunity to provide comfort, security, and affection in their owner's absence. Ensuring the well-being and happiness of every dog entrusted to our care is not only a responsibility but a privilege we cherish. During a dog-sitting session, we prioritise the well-being and happiness of the dog in our care. Here's how we typically approach it: Safety first: We ensure that the environment is safe and secure for the dog, removing any potential hazards or dangers. Routine maintenance: We stick to the dog's regular feeding, walking, and bathroom schedule to maintain continuity and reduce stress. Exercise and play: We engage the dog in regular exercise and playtime to keep them physically and mentally stimulated, whether it's a game of fetch, a walk in the park, or simply spending time together. Affection and companionship: We provide plenty of love, attention, and affection to make the dog feel comfortable and secure in our presence. Monitoring health: We keep an eye out for any signs of illness or discomfort and promptly address any concerns by contacting the owner or seeking veterinary care if necessary. Updates for the owner: We keep the owner informed about their dog's well-being and share updates, photos, and videos to provide peace of mind while they're away. Respect for the dog's preferences: We respect the dog's individual preferences and quirks, whether it's their favourite toy, preferred sleeping spot, or specific dietary needs. By following these guidelines, We ensure that the dog enjoys a safe, comfortable, and enjoyable experience during their time in our care. Recently, We had the joy of caring for an energetic border collie. Our days were filled with invigorating walks, playful fetch sessions, and cherished moments of cuddling on the couch. Building a bond with the dog reaffirmed our passion for dog sitting, as we experienced firsthand the joy of providing love, care, and companionship to a furry friend. Our home is located in Rathgar, it is a lovely 2-floor house with a big backyard, we work from home which is ideal for dog sitting. The dog will be sleeping in the living room. Our home is located very close to Palmerston Park, Herzog Park, and Fairfield Park, perfect areas for the dog to walk and play. No
