Experienced and caring house sitter currently in Ireland

About this sitter

Hi I’m Lauren, Im currently based in Ireland. I teach pilates and yoga freelance, and I also love the company of animals, so enjoy pet sitting which I usually do a few times per year. I am looking currently for port sits from a couple of weeks to longer depending on the location. I’m well experienced with cats and dogs of all ages and needs.

Why they want to house sit

I have had my own pets and homes as well as looking after others. Due to travelling for longer periods out of the country, it’s not the right time for me to have an animal full time. I find house sitting works well for myself, and the home owner who feels secure knowing they have a grounded and responsible animal lover taking care of things at home whilst they are away.

Their experience

Yes. Cats and dogs mainly. I have nursed sick animals, delivered a litter of puppies, fostered puppies and coordinated rehoming, and had 6 dogs and 2 cats of my own.

I also have experience looking after smaller animals: rodents and fish; farm animals, horses. I’ve sat houses in Ireland, UK, India, Germany and volunteered with organisations in the States, Canada, Poland and India. I will be providing references shortly as this is a newly created account (my previous expired). You may also request references from me directly.
