John

I'm a 31 year old, former veterinary nurse, now specialised in human health diagnostics, who has worked with pets big and small professionaly for over ten years. I grew up with cats and dogs all my life and come from a family of big animal lovers. Professionally, I have extensive nursing knowledge, ran weight managment and training classes, guided owners through new pet ownership and more recently educated veterinary practices around the country on the importance of dental health. 

Most importantly, I simply love animals. I live with my husband, a fellow pet obsessed individual, in Castleknock and we are saving for our first home. We live in a ground floor apartment with lots of space and a spacious terrace. The terrace leads out a path that runs the lenght of the building, secured by a gate on both ends that can only be opened with a resident key. Outside our apartment is a large green area, designed for walks and excercise and we live only a 15 minute walk from Phoenix Park.

If your pet is on medication, special diets or otherwise I have the experience and skill to make sure their routine is strictly followed so you don't need to worry. I will walk dogs twice daily for between 30 minutes - 1 hour, being considerate to their breed. I can look after two pets at a time. They can sleep in our living area or in our spare bedroom at night with their bedding. During the day, they have full access to our apartment. I can also send you updates each day to show you how they are getting on. I can only offer home visits for cats, not over night stays.

My calendar availability is blocked accordingly so your pet will be supervised at all times during their stay. Weekends are much more available than weekdays but I can design my work calendar around stays as I have the ability to work from home as and when I want. While marked as unavailable, please don't hesitate to request days that are blocked off, especially if looking to avail free slots that run into weekdays.

We have a lot of cuddles and care to give your pets and I want to help families enjoy their time away with the comfort that their pet will be well looked after and be treated as part of our family during that time.
