Hi, I am an Irish lady with one daughter who is all grown up now and out in the world on her own and doing her own thing so I have time for me again.
I love animals and I use housesitters myself when I go away so that my own furbabies can stay at home which they much prefer over kennels. I am also a homeowner so I know what it's like from both sides and I would leave your home exactly the same way it was when I arrived and your pets happy and content with no change to their routine. I would expect nothing less myself.
I volunteer with the largest animal shelter in Ireland, and I regularly foster puppies and dogs for them in my own home often having to give medication because they are unwell when they come to me. I nurse them back to health so that they are ready for their forever homes. I've also privately pet sat for other people and animals over the past couple of years and I am often asked to help again.
I am quite an active person and I run a few times a week so energetic pets won't be a problem, I've just completed my first marathon which I am personally very proud of!
I am embarking on a voyage of discovery to see all the places in the world I've always wanted to and some of the ones I don't even know yet exist! I will be leaving my cats at home under the careful watch of my daughter who adores them even more than I do.
I want to housesit because I love the idea of being part of a community when I travel and you just don't get that with a hotel room. I also love animals and love their company. My main focus will be the welfare of your beloved pet(s).
I am a homeowner and animal lover myself so I understand how important your home and pets are to you and how important it is that they are looked after.
Over the years I have looked after all kinds of animals, from small furry hamsters, cheeky birds, crazy remote control eating greyhounds, tiny week old puppies and older dogs who just need some extra tlc in their later years. My own cats are both rescues, I got Thomas when he was only four weeks old and had to syringe feed him for a few weeks, he's a big lump of furry cuddles now and both of my cats are 18 and still going strong!
I am open to sits of any type or length, like the man once said, it's an adventure :).
I can of course provide references and I'm happy to / etc so we can 'meet' and chat about your requirements. Most of my sits have been on so I have many more references there that I can share with you. All of them are 5*.
Thanks for reading my profile :)
