Safe Hands Pet Care has public and employers liability insurance. All our walkers and sitters undergo an interview, comprehensive reference checks and are asked to provide a letter from the Garda Central vetting office stating that there are no records on the Garda database concerning them. As we have been in business since 2004, we can provide excellent references.

We love all pets and will care for many different types of critters. Safe Hands will care for most pets as long as they do not pose a danger to us and do not have a history of biting or attacking other animals or people.

We provide a regular or occasional Dog Walking Service and a personalised visiting/companionship for your pets so that they can stay in the security of their own home while owners are away for a day, weekend or even a holiday

As many times as the client requires.

Our most popular request is for a 30 Min to 1 Hour visit. This usually consists of a good walk for dogs, play time, quick groom, feeding / water and general companionship.

We have experience in administering routine medication. On our Intro meeting with you and your pets all medication details will be recorded your client file.

Before we are able to accept any bookings we need to carry out a pet care assessment. This gives you an opportunity to meet us and us to meet you and your pets. It will take about 30-40 minutes and will cover details such as normal daily exercise, feeding and your pets likes and dislikes. This will enable us to provide the highest level of care in your absence.

Yes, we need a signed statement that you agree to let us into your home to care for your animals. We also need confirmation that you agree to our policies and procedures.

Yes, most dogs love walking in the rain. They will be given a good rub down on their return.

When you have to be away from home, for travel or an emergency, and you do not want to leave your pet in a boarding kennel, who takes care of your pet? If, like many pet owners, you ask a friend or neighbour to drop in and pour some food and water in your pet's bowls, is this really sufficient care and attention for your pet? There's a good chance that your friends and neighbours, lacking proper pet-care experience and, having forgotten to show up, will say "Never mind, I will give him double tomorrow."
