About: Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with them. I’m a calm, caring and reliable person who can help with dog walks, feeding, playtime and home visits. I know every pet has its own routine and personality, so I always try to make them feel safe, loved and comfortable while their owners are away. My schedule is flexible, so I have time to give pets attention, care and companionship throughout the week. I’m available for home visits, feeding, playtime and check-ins, and I always try to adapt to each pet’s routine and needs. I believe pets feel most comfortable when their routine is respected, especially cats. During home visits, I make sure they have food, fresh water, a clean litter box, attention and companionship. I’m very careful, respectful and happy to send updates and photos so owners can feel relaxed while they’re away.

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.

“Victoria was simply excellent. She gave me photo and message updates on my cat Stella while I was away and I returned to a very happy and relaxed kitty. Highly recommend Victoria!”

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: I have loved dogs for many years and I am a dog owner myself. I have a Golden Retriever who is 4 years and 8 months old. I have raised her since she was only 35 days old, so I truly understand the daily care, attention and exercise that dogs need. Through raising my own dog, I have plenty of hands-on experience with walking, running, playing, feeding and understanding different dog behaviours and energy levels. I know how important it is for dogs to get enough exercise, companionship and mental stimulation. I am patient, gentle and responsible, and I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully. Safety is my top priority, and I make sure every dog feels comfortable and happy during our walks or visits. Spending time with dogs brings me a lot of joy, and I would love to help give your dog the care, exercise and attention they deserve while you are busy or away. I currently work part-time, so I have flexible availability for pet care. I am available all day on Sundays and from 5 pm on wards Monday to Saturday, which is perfect for evening walks, playtime and drop-in visits. Your dog’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I always follow your instructions carefully and keep dogs safely on leash during walks. I pay close attention to their behaviour and surroundings and choose safe, quiet walking routes. I will also send updates and photos so you can feel relaxed knowing your dog is in good hands.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10, when my friend went on holidays with her family I cycled 6km to her house to walk and feed her dogs. My family got our Sandy, a labradoodle who is the light of our lives 8 years ago. Training, walking and playing with her are some of my favourite things to do on the weekends I visit home. I work full-time as a civil servant, but my hours are flexible. I am available every evening after 5pm and enjoy long walks in Salthill. My weekends are typically quiet so I am available full-time from Friday evening until Monday morning. I can also work remotely if required, I will just need a bit of notice. I am respectful of other people’s spaces and will adhere to any requests as set out. Each dog will be given fulfilling walks and I can provide transport to and from walking areas if needed.

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. I’ll provide plenty of attention, keep their environment clean and secure, and send regular updates so you know your pet is happy and well cared for.
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: 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.

About: Hi! 👋 I’m a Brazilian living in Ireland for over a decade. I work in IT, which gives me some flexibility during the week. I’ve always loved animals — I used to have a cat back home, but I couldn’t bring him with me because of his health issues. He’s now living happily with my mom and her many cats (I’ve honestly lost count!). Here in Ireland, I have a dog, some fish, and lots of plants, so there’s always a bit of life around the house. I’d love to help care for your furry friend as if they were my own. 🐾 I work from home, so I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to make pet care visits throughout the day. I can easily accommodate feeding, walks, playtime, and check-ins based on your pet's routine and needs. I always follow the pet owner's instructions carefully because they know their pet's routine, preferences, and needs best. I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while maintaining a clean, secure, and stress-free environment.
“Laura dropped in on our cockapoo Teddy a couple of times over the last few weeks. Teddy can be anxious meeting new people but loved Laura from the first meet. Would highly recommend Laura to anyone looking for a reliable sitter. Great communication too and regular updates.”


About: Hi! I’m Veronica, in my 30s and proud rescue dog human to Thor 🐾 I know first-hand how difficult it can be to trust someone with your dog, because I’ve been in that position too. I understand the stress of leaving your dog with someone new and how important it is to find someone reliable, patient, and genuinely caring. I’ve always been one of those people who, as a child, would stop to say hello to every dog I saw… and honestly, not much has changed... If there’s a dog nearby, chances are I’ll be the one asking if I can say hi :) Animals have always been a big part of my life. Growing up, I always had pets at home, from hamsters and guinea pigs to dogs, and over the years I’ve also gained experience caring for cats. Thor is a rescue dog and has been by my side for the last 10 years. He’s a sensitive soul and has struggled with many things over the years, but through training, patience, love (lots of love!) and, of course, plenty of treats, he has grown in confidence and come such a long way. Living with Thor has taught me that every animal is different, each with their own personality, needs, and boundaries. That’s why, before starting any service, I like to take the time to get to know your best friend and ask plenty of questions during our first meeting! It helps me understand their routine, personality, and needs so I can adapt my care and make them feel as comfortable and safe as possible 🐾 I currently work part time in the mental health field, which means I am Garda vetted. I also offer 1-to-1 dog walks and home visits in Galway City. I don’t mix dogs from different households unless agreed beforehand, so your pet gets my full attention :). I have a car in case of any emergency and I'm PET FIRST AID CERTIFIED. My goal is simple: happy pets, relaxed humans, and peace of mind knowing they’re in safe hands 💙 I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility for pet care. I am available most mornings from Monday to Sunday, as well as several afternoons throughout the week. I am Garda Vetted and work with vulnerable individuals, so I understand the importance of trust, responsibility, and reliability. I am in my 30s and have recently completed a Master's degree in Psychology, which has strengthened my communication skills, attention to detail, and professional approach. I am punctual, dependable, and attentive to each pet's individual needs, ensuring they feel safe and comfortable. My dog, Thor, does not get along with other dogs or cats, so I provide care exclusively in the owner’s home. I consider this to be better for them, as staying in their own homes is less disruptive to their routines and allows them to adapt more comfortably and naturally to their usual environment.

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: Having had pets all my life, caring for animals has always come naturally to me. I’ve dog- and cat-sat on multiple occasions and really enjoy earning a pet’s trust and getting to know their personality. Whether a pet needs calm reassurance, playtime, routine walks, or extra patience, I adapt to their needs. I’m also comfortable administering medication when needed. I’m reliable, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with animals. I'm generally available at all daily hours as I work part time in the evenings, but can tweak my schedule if needed for night time jobs. I provide a calm, safe, and caring environment where pets can feel comfortable and secure. I make sure to follow owner instructions carefully including feeding routines, medication schedules, exercise needs, and house rules. Your pets will be supervised at all times and given plenty of attention, play, and affection. I'll ensure that there will always be fresh water, a clean environment, and regular updates to reassure you of their wellbeing
About: I have looked after dogs and cats for years. I have had dogs and cats of my own for years also. Am happy to look after puppies also. Your fur baby will be looked after so well. I’m currently working part time so on the days I have availability marked I am fully able to mind your animals. I am also available to do house calls for walks and toilet breaks for your pets. I live on the first floor apartment in Bohermore with outdoor green areas so your dog will be on leash for all toilet breaks and walkies. I have a car also and can bring them for a spin to the park or beach for walkies if your animals like the car, if not they can be walked around the area I live.
About: Myself and my partner Abi have been providing services on Rover since Autumn 2023, looking after a variety of dogs in all shapes and sizes - walking, feeding, bathing, cleaning up, nothing is off the table, I'm positive you'll find a trusted pet carer in me. Most of our availability will fall on Friday evenings or the weekend unless discussed in advance, we may also have availability during the week too. An average service when pet sitting in your home would include: full bowl 'fresh' water and a full bowl of pet food on arrival, taking your pet out for their business frequently as desired (varying on individual pet), a shower if required, kitty litter / dog dropping clean if/when required. I'm intuitive and willing to take on specific instructions catered to your pet, I have experience providing oral medication to anxious and allergic dogs on separate occasions.

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.
About: Hi there! I’m Catherine, a proud pet parent to two sweet cats, Miley and Jinx, and a goofy pit-bull mix, Marty, so I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family.

I’m comfortable with pets of all sizes and personalities, and I’ll make sure your pets feel happy, safe, and loved while you’re away! I’m currently working part-time as a substitute teacher and volleyball coach, so I have plenty of time to care for your pets. I’m home often and can easily fit in morning, afternoon, or evening visits depending on your needs. While I’m unfortunately unable to host pets in my own home due to shared accommodation, I’m more than happy to provide in-home care, drop-in visits, dog walking, and other sitting duties to keep your pets happy, healthy, and loved while you’re away.

Cat owners share their Rover experiences - Galway
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.

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!

Alessandra looked after our two cats so well while we were away! I would absolutely recommend Alessandra as a cat sitter to everyone. She minded our babies with such great care and it’s very clear Alessandra is very knowledgeable on how to mind cats. Alessandra sent us photos and videos every day to put our minds at ease which was really helpful!
