Katie

I am currently living in the Knocklyon area with my husband, John. For homestays, we usually both help care for the pets. Due to transport restrictions, we're only available the areas between Knocklyon, Sandymount, and Blackrock. 

I am experienced with dogs and cats (and a variety of farm animals!). Not only have I had pets all of my life, I have years of experience as a pet sitter and dog walker. I was a pet sitter/house sitter for 5yrs, from 2003-2008. I recently started caring for pets again, from September 2017-now, while I completed my MSc. I love animals and welcome the chance to have to be around them whenever I get a chance😊

I am comfortable with all sizes and breeds, and have experience giving medication to both cats and dogs. I also have experience with both animals recovering from surgery who may have limited mobility or require special considerations. Most of the animals I have cared for and owned have been rescues, so I have experience in them and any extra help they may need. While I am okay with unsociable animals, I am afraid that I will not walk actively agressive dogs. Currently, I am able to provide around the clock supervision for your pet if need be. Grooming dogs, and occasionally a willing cat, is no problem. 

Due to restrictions at my apartment, I am unable to proved pet boarding. 

Thank you! I look forward to the opportunity to meet both you and your pet.
