About: I have been walking dogs for friends and family for years now, I love taking care of animals, both cats and dogs! I would love to meet your pet! I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to care for pets and go on long walks. I can be available at short notice. I am very responsible with pets, I live near grassy areas and a dog cafe where dogs can meet other dogs if your pet likes to meet friends!

About: I've always had a passion for all types of animals and enjoy caring for them as if they were my own. I had a dog as a child, and my family has always had them. My first summer job was as a dog sitter at age 15, and I loved it, so I've always looked after the pets of friends, family, and boyfriends when they couldn't. I work full time in the city center, I am available on weekends and possibly every evening of the week to take care of your 4-legged friends, whether for a walk or to look after them during the night, I am happy to dedicate all the time at my disposal Unfortunately I don't have a garden but the apartment is spacious, I don't have other animals at home so all the attention and spaces will be dedicated exclusively to your 4-legged friend, respecting his habits and needs I know perfect places for him to stay in nature near home

Mags was absolutely brilliant with my 2 kitties Midna and Ezlo. Ezlo requires medication and Mags had no problems giving it to him! Midna is also a very standoffish kitty and she warmed to her very quickly! She kept me updated with lots of pics and let me know if there was anything off. Would highly recommend Mags if you’re looking for a cat sitter!

About: Hi, my name's Asia! I have loved caring for animals since my very first word (dog), and after 25 years it is still one of my main passions! My hobbies and life have brought me to gain a wide experience taking care of different types of pets all with different personalities. The type of animal I have most experience with are cats however, I can take care from the smallest rodents to the biggest dogs. I definitely don't get scared by size, and I also have experience with more rare pets such as reptiles, amphibians and I would be willing to care for bugs too. Services I offer: - Standard minding at your place (Including feeding, playing, brushing, cuddling) - Walks - Quick "lunch drop offs" (when you're at work) - Overnight stays/house sitting or night time drop ins -Administer medications (most experienced with cats but comfortable with dogs too) - Basic training help - I can only pet sit at my place for small animals in their habitat (such as rodents, amphibian, reptiles etc) as my cat is unfortunately scared of dogs and most other cats Please if you have any question at all, don't hesitate to drop me a quick message. I know every pet has their own habits and their own personality, and at the end of the day if you have to choose someone to mind your pet I totally understand you have to be 100% sure they are the right fit for them and that they like them! Because of this, I offer free consultations either in person or online to see if I'm the right fit for your pet and vice versa! Drop me a message for any questions :) I take care of my boy cat on a daily basis, but I geniunely try to meet and take care of as many friends as possible during the week Even if my own apartment is only available for smaller pets in their tank/enclosure, I offer pet sitting in your own house, ensuring all rules are followed and that the pet is the most comfortable. For local walking services, I live close to a nice big park and, if the pet likes it, a beach we can run on.

Andreja was absolutely fantastic while taking care of our cat Kelce during our time away. Her communication was excellent from start to finish, always keeping us updated and making sure we felt completely at ease. She sent loads of photos and videos, which we really appreciated, and it was clear Kelce adored her. Andreja spent plenty of time playing with her and giving her attention, and we came home to a very happy, relaxed cat. We’re incredibly satisfied with her care and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, kind, and attentive cat sitter.

Samara took wonderful care of our cat for a full week, updating us with videos, pictures and information without us needing to ask. Our cat is exceptionally shy but Samara managed to get some play time with her. Reliable, friendly and very thorough cat sitter who I would recommend to anyone, especially nervous cats.

About: I have had pets since I was 3 years old, so caring for animals has been apart of my life for as long as I can remember. I understand the importance of tending to each pets unique needs as they all have different personalities. I work 4–5 days a week with a schedule that varies from week to week, but I always keep my availability up to date and can be flexible around my shifts. I’m happy to provide walks, drop-in visits, and quality time for your pets. I genuinely love being around animals and look forward to spending time with them, not just working with them. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I’ll always follow your instructions carefully, keep your pet’s environment clean and secure, and make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I currently rent an apartment where pets aren’t permitted, which is one of the reasons I enjoy pet sitting so much it gives me the opportunity to spend time caring for animals while giving owners peace of mind that their pets are in safe, loving hands.

About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my lifelong experience with animals and the genuine love I have for them. I grew up on a farm, caring for dogs and cats from a young age, and I’ve continued to take care of my own pets and those of friends and landlords over the years. I understand that every pet has its own personality and needs, and I always treat them with patience, respect, and affection. I go beyond just feeding or walking I make sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away, sometimes even staying overnight to maintain their comfort and routine. I currently work 6 hours a day, but I am free in the morning until 10 a.m. and usually in the afternoon after 5 p.m... but everything can be discussed beforehand to fit into a routine where I can take care of your pet. I care for pets in their own home, always following their daily routine for feeding, play, and rest. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved, giving plenty of attention, affection, and gentle interaction. My priority is their happiness and well-being while keeping their owner informed and reassured.

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. I have a friendly French Bulldog who has taught me the importance of patience, routine, and giving pets lots of love and attention. I also have a reef tank with corals and fishes, so I’m experienced with caring for aquatic pets and maintaining a healthy environment for them. I used to have cats as well, so I’m comfortable looking after both dogs and cats and understand that every pet has their own personality and needs. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping them company, I’ll care for your pets as if they were my own. Caring for pets is already part of my everyday life, as I have my own French Bulldog and a Reef Tank with fishes and corals. My daily routine includes walks, feeding, playtime, and making sure pets get plenty of attention and affection. I genuinely enjoy spending time with both dogs and cats, and I have a flexible schedule that allows me to fit their individual routines into my day. Whether it’s taking a dog for a walk, playing with them, or giving a cat some company, fresh food, and a quiet, comfortable environment, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well looked after while you’re away. I care for every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I always follow the owner’s routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions.

About: Hi! My name is Serena, and I’ve loved animals my whole life. I grew up in the countryside on a small farm, surrounded by animals, which has given me plenty of experience with all kinds of critters. I’ve also volunteered in both cat and dog shelters, and caring for animals has always been a true passion of mine. I’ve recently moved away from my countryside home, where my beloved dog Jack and four cats still live, so this opportunity would be a lovely way for me to stay connected with animals and care for them as if they were my own. I love nature and spending time outdoors, and I bring that enthusiasm into every walk and visit. I have around a year of formal dog and cat sitting experience. My responsibilities included walking and feeding pets, providing quality playtime and companionship, caring for multiple dogs at a time, and ensuring each home was left safe and secure throughout the day and overnight. I am currently in my second year of third-level education, so my timetable is busy but flexible, depending on you and your pets' needs. I am more than happy and willing to visit your pets before and after school- even if this means an early start! I have a part-time job 30 minutes away from the city on the weekends, but my hours once again vary and are very flexible. I provide reliable, in-home pet care so your pets can remain relaxed and comfortable in their own familiar environment. I’m very comfortable caring for all types of pets; cats, dogs, and everything in between. I’m confident handling homes with multiple animals or pets with different personalities and needs. I follow each pet’s routine carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any medications or special care instructions. I take the time to ensure pets feel safe, calm, and well-loved while monitoring their health and behaviour. I also keep pet areas clean and treat your home with the utmost respect. You’ll receive regular updates and photos so you can travel with peace of mind knowing your pets are in capable, caring hands.

About: Hello! I am a professional jazz singer and dance instructor well-known within the Galway community. I offer an exclusive House Sitting service for owners who want their homes and pets treated with the utmost respect. I welcome dogs of all shapes and sizes. I am an experienced, calm, and highly responsible adult who is completely comfortable following strict walking and feeding schedules, administering prescribed medications if needed, or simply providing great companionship for your dog while keeping your home safe. What I offer: Reliable Routine Follower: I follow your exact medical, walking, and feeding schedules to the letter. Quiet Companionship: Since I spend my days preparing dance classes and practicing bass (using headphones), your pet will have plenty of company throughout the day. Guaranteed Security: As a public figure and educator in the city, my reputation is my bond. Your luxury home will be kept immaculate and secure. Weekend Evenings: On some weekends, I perform from 8 PM to 11 PM. Your pet will be walked, fed, and settled before I leave, and I will return straight after the show. As a freelance dance instructor and musician, I work on a highly flexible, part-time schedule. This allows me to spend most of my day directly at your home, providing constant companionship. My routine is perfect for pets who thrive on having a calm human presence around. On the specific evenings when I have jazz performances (typically from 8 PM to 11 PM), your pet will be fully fed, walked, and settled before I leave, and I will return straight back to the property immediately after the show. Security and respect for your property are my top priorities. I strictly provide care at the owner's home, ensuring your pet stays in their comfortable, familiar environment. I am extremely meticulous about locking doors, following your specific home security guidelines, and keeping everything immaculate. While at your home, my time is spent in a very quiet manner—either relaxing with your pet, planning my dance lessons, or practicing my bass using headphones so there is never any noise or disruption.

Aoife was fantastic! She took amazing care of our cat, Mashka, while we were away. She sent us photos and videos every day, along with regular updates, which gave us great peace of mind knowing Mashka was happy and well cared for. Aoife was kind, reliable, and clearly loves animals. We came home to a relaxed and happy cat, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. We highly recommend Aoife and will definitely book with her again. Thank you so much, Aoife!🐈‍⬛❤️

We were absolutely delighted with Andreja! She was amazing with Suki and went above and beyond to make sure she was happy and well cared for while we were away. Suki had an issue with her paw just before our holiday and needed medication, and Andreja handled everything so well, even with some last-minute changes to her care. She kept us updated, replied quickly and was always so kind, reliable and caring. It was clear that she genuinely enjoyed spending time with Suki and we felt completely relaxed knowing she was in such good hands. We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter. Highly recommend Andreja! ❤️

Maryellen was great with my two very nervous cats. She very consciously and calmly respected their space without trying to approach too soon when she first came to meet them before the sitting period. She sent photos every day, and by day 3 both cats were happy to let her pet them! They were well looked after and I hope to book her again in the future!

Absolute perfect service from Yixing. We were gone 9 days and had her visit every second day, not only were the cats fed and watered, the cat litter was all cleaned up too. The cats had been played with and she genuinely built a bond with them. This cat sitter isnt just there to top up food and water bowls or empty cat litters, she'll spend time with them, playing with them and send videos and pictures every visit so you're completely up to date with how they're doing!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Galway on Rover is €17.25 per Visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 19 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Galway. Enter your Eircode to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Of course! Many sitters on Rover are experienced in caring for multiple pets simultaneously, whether you have a pack of dogs, a clowder of cats, or a mix of both.

Look for sitters who highlight multi-pet expertise or check for verified reviews from other Galway pet parents with similar pet households.

Every pet sitter, walker, and boarding sitter on Rover must pass an identity verification before they can list their services. An identity verification confirms that the sitter is who they say they are based on their documents.

Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to €25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit our Trust & Safety page .

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes dedicated customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement programme for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to €25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

You can find what you need to review a sitter on their profile before booking with them. Each sitter’s profile on Rover shows verified reviews, identity verification, and ratings to give a glimpse of how their previous visits went. You can also use the Meet & Greet to walk through your home, identifying which areas, like your bedroom, are off-limits or not. Requesting details of your home security through the app can also be a good way to have your sitter keep you updated about your home.

If you have security cameras or smart doorbells, Rover asks that you disclose them to sitters before you book.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When contacting your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
