About Irene

Hey there pet parents! I'm Irene and I am here to make sure your furry friends get their daily dose of exercise and fun! With my pet first aid certificate and my current studies in dog psychology, behavior, and training, I am equipped to handle any situation that may arise while taking care of your beloved pets.

I have over 6 years of experience and I'm currently volunteering for a dog rescue service, so you can trust that your pets are in good hands with me. Whether it's a leisure stroll around the neighborhood or a high-energy run in the park, I will tailor each visit to your pet's needs and preferences.

I have a great sense of humor and love making your pets smile. I believe that a happy pet is a healthy pet, and I will make sure your furry friends have a pawsitively amazing time with me.

I am available for dog walking (45mins) and home visits (1hr) services Monday to Saturday from 11am to 5pm but if you have specific time blocks in mind, please let me know and I will do my best to work with your schedule.

So go ahead and book me as your pet walker, and let's embark on some fun adventures together! Your pets will thank you for it. 🐾🌟

What an amazing pet sitter! Irene stepped in at the last minute when our original sitter cancelled just a day before our trip. From the beginning, Irene was fantastic to work with, maintaining excellent communication throughout the booking process. She kept us updated with regular photos and updates of our girl, Lexie. Administering Lexie's medications and giving her plenty of love and cuddles was no problem for Irene. She also left our house absolutely spotless. It was such a relief to be able to relax for the weekend, knowing Lexie was in such good hands. I highly recommend Irene as a pet sitter. We've already booked her again for our next trip! Thanks again, Irene—we really appreciate your help. I'm sure Lexie can't wait to see you again, either!

Skills

Specific Skills

I speak English & Italian
+5 years of experience
Familiar with dog training techniques
1. Dog handling and communication: Volunteering with rescue dogs helped me develop skills in handling and communicating with different types of dogs, including understanding their body language and signals. 2. Patience and compassion: Working with rescue dogs often requires patience and compassion, as many of them have experienced trauma or neglect. I learned to approach each dog with empathy and understanding, helping them feel safe and secure. 3. Training and behaviour modification: I gained experience in training and behaviour modification techniques while working with rescue dogs, helping them learn basic commands, and overcome any behavioural issues they may have. 4. Adaptability and problem-solving: Every dog is unique, and each may have different needs or challenges. Volunteering with rescue dogs taught me to be adaptable and flexible, finding creative solutions to address any issues that may arise. 5. Empathy and understanding: Volunteering with rescue dogs helped me cultivate empathy and understanding for animals in need. I learned to advocate for their well-being and provide them with the love and support they deserve.
