Services & Booking

I offer a dog walking and a pet sitting service as well.

I don't have set walk lengths and prices, such as doing a "20 minute walk" for a set price. Instead, I talk to you, and see what you and your dog need, and tailor the walk to you. You may have a senior dog that needs more sniffy walks, or a younger dog that has much more energy, or a dog who needs help being trained to walk on a lead. Prices and times will vary.
We will explore together what your dog needs and based on that and the distance travelled to you, I will be able to give you a quote.

I also pet sit all animals in their own homes, however this is only available to pets that already know me so either existing clients or after having done numerous meet and greets.
The price for pet sitting is €20 for travel costs and €10 per hour spent with your pet.

Take your dog for a social walk with us. These walks are a great way to help your dog work on his confidence in his social skills. They are trainer-led by myself and all dog owners get a digital information leaflet in advance of the walks to help them prepare.

Each walk starts with a quick chat about best practice while walking dogs and things to watch out for in their gait or body language, and we talk about this further on in the walk. The whole walk is like a mini training session!

All dogs must wear a harness and be on a long lead of at least 3 meters in length. Retractable leads, headcollars, prong collars, choke chains, front clip harnesses and other aversive tools are not permitted.

Price: €10 for your first walk, free after. FREE for existing training clients or members of the Willow Paws Social Dog Club.

A single consultation session for your dog to assess their needs and help you meet them in a way that is ethical, kind and positive for your dog. This includes some beahviour, but focuses also on their everyday life, routines, daily rituals, nutrition and diet, and holistic well-being. 

Price: €80 in-person (within 50km of Claremorris)

  €60 online via video-call

A single consultation session useful if you are planning to get an animal other than a dog, or if you already have one, and want to get help in any aspect such as:

🐾 Improving their environment(cage setup, sleeping spaces, enrichment)

🐾 Improving their health(diet, exercise tips, learning how to recognize discomfort or pain)

🐾 Correct husbandry information and help

🐾 Teaching all members of the family how to be respectful and care for the animal

Available for a variety of species, such as cats, rabbits, ferrets, rats, chinchillas, hamsters, reptiles, birds, fish... etc. Information will vary and be tailored to the species of your pet.

Important note: While I am always here to support you with a chat and offer advice about your elderly pet or your pet that may be nearing the end of their life free of charge, this paid service is more specialized for those who require extra help and need on-going support including visits to the home or to vet clinics.

Watching your pet slow down as they get older can be a very difficult and emotional period. You may wonder about how best to help them be comfortable, have a lot of questions or may not even know what questions to ask. Vet visits may be difficult, and in all of the emotional turmoil, it is very easy to feel alone in caring for your older pet.

With experience in various sectors including the veterinary environment, I can utilize my experience to offer support for your pet in their final months or days. Support will vary depending on you and your pet's needs, but I offer various help such as:

🐾 Regular visits and meet-ups with you to talk about your ageing pet and give you support and tips for their care

🐾 Helping you to make emotionally difficult but often necessary adjustments in your routine and lifestyle to help your pet be more comfortable, e.g. helping you to plan a new route for your daily walks that may be kinder on their bodies

🐾 Attending veterinary appointments with you and being the listening ear or a note-taker, especially if you may find it difficult to take in information from the vet while dealing with an emotionally difficult situation

🐾 Activities and activity planning to help you make the most of your pet's last months or days while keeping their physical and mental comfort in mind, to help you say goodbye on a peaceful note with positive memories and knowledge that your pet was happy and as pain-free as possible

🐾 Pet-sitting in your own home, the elderly pet's environment, if you need to go away for some time, and to give your pet care while they relax in their comfortable spots around the home instead of going to a new and potentially stressful environment

🐾 Euthanasia support: I can visit the vet with you on the day, be with your pet in the room while it is happening if it is too difficult for you, or visit your home to be there if euthanasia is scheduled to be done in your home.

🐾 Before and after euthanasia support: As many conversations as you need over a cup of tea or a walk or a phone call(or whatever feels most comfortable), and talk about your pet, your feelings, plans for before, during and after your pet's last day, and anything else relating to your pet that helps. We can also talk about planning the date and how you would want the day to look like, and I will be happy to be with you and your pet on the day to help you make the most of it, or simply arrange a call for the day to help you get through the emotions.

🐾 Memorial planning: We can create memorials such as paw prints, nose prints, paintings made by your pet in a safe and comfortable way, or do other activities with your pet that create a lasting memory of your time together. I will also be happy to talk to you about cremation, how it works and help you make the decision of if and how.

🐾 Continuous support for 3 months after your pet's last day, helping you through the grieving process

🐾  Other support tailored to you and to your pet

Price: €50-€350 depending on situation, level of support required, duration of support and distance to travel. Contact me for a quote.

Every dog deserves care and an ethical approach to their behaviour. Dogs who go through behaviour training or a behaviour assessment are often more likely to find a home quicker. If you are an owner, member of staff or a volunteer of a rescue shelter you can request a FREE training session for a dog in your care or that you or someone else is fostering. This training can be done with a potential new owner or with yourselves. Whether you have a fearful dog or a dog you just want general tips with, anything goes. Please contact me for more information.
I am also offering workshops for rescues.
