I've been a dedicated pet owner my whole life, caring for cats and dogs from infancy onwards. In addition, I have sporadically been minding people's pets throughout my life, as well as fostering many stray cats I have found lost or injured on the streets. A bit about myself, I come from Canada and Finland but have been travelling my whole life, spending most of my time in Central Europe. For that reason, I can speak conversational Spanish, French and Finnish. I completed a BA in Cultural Analysis before starting in fund administration. I'm currently residing in Cobh with my two rescue cats, and hopefully one day a dog as well. I love going for walks and hikes around Ireland regularly, and so would love to be abke to go for dogs walks as well in my spare time. With all animals, I believe it is important to respect their boundaries and gain their trust through understanding their unique personalities. I'm extremely patient and diligent in their safety and comfort. I have a lot of personal experience with elderly dogs, as well as a plethora of experience with nervous and/or hyperactive dogs.
