Michael looked after Babel for 4 nights and he was great! Communication was very easy and he even offered to take Babel before the scheduled drop off time. His dog is very social and got on well with Babel. Michael sent many pics and videos throughout the stay and Babel was taken on many walks. An advantage of booking with Michael is that he works from home so your dog will never be left alone for too long. Would recommend 100%

Incredible service who was really professional and kind towards our dog. Ruth and her family ensured Peggy was apart of the family whilst staying with them and gave her so much love and affection. Peggy came home exhausted which just showed how much she was walked and played with. Would highly recommend and will definitely use again!

Ralph absolutely loved staying with Denise and her family. They welcomed him with open arms and looked after him so well. We got photos and texts to let us know how he was getting on and he even got chicken for dinner which was a lovely treat for him. Ralph was so happy in her house and when we came to collect him he seemed like he didnt want to leave, he even got on with their cat which was a big shock to us as he usually chases them. We will definitely be booking with Denise again and would recommend her to everyone!

About: I’ve always had dogs in my life and know how important they are to a family. I enjoy spending time with them and making sure they get the exercise and attention they need. I'm reliable, responsible, and comfortable with dogs of all sizes. For me, it’s about keeping things simple: good walks, happy dogs. When I’m dog sitting, I make sure your dog stays on their usual routine—whether that’s walks, feeding, playtime. I pay attention to their behavior, keep things calm and consistent, and make sure they’re getting plenty of attention and exercise. I also have flexibility in my schedule, so I can adjust to what works best for you and your dog I've been dog sitting for several years for friends, family, and neighbors, with dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, and giving dogs the attention and structure they need while their owners are away. Whether it’s a weekend stay or daily walks, I make sure each dog feels safe, calm, and cared for. Dogs in my care have a safe, clean space to relax and sleep—either in their own bed, crate, or wherever they're most comfortable. I live in a quiet neighborhood with parks and green spaces nearby, perfect for walks and play. There are plenty of safe options close by

About: Iv grown up with pets since I was very young age. I enjoy spending time with them and bringing them for walks and games in the garden. I'm looking to offer my services as a dog sitter in Galway around Merlin Park Lane. I work 8-5 Monday to Thursday and 8 - 1 on a Friday so flexible to work around any pet needs. I have a genuine love for animals and a lifelong connection with them. Growing up, I was always surrounded by pets—from energetic dogs to curious cats which helped me develop a deep understanding of animal behavior, care, and companionship from an early age. Dogs, in particular, have always held a special place in my heart. I truly enjoy spending time with them, whether it's going for long walks, playing fetch in the park, or simply providing cuddles and company at home. I understand that every dog has its own personality and needs, and I always make sure to adapt my care accordingly to ensure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while their owners are away. Whether it's for a weekend getaway or a longer holiday, I’d be honoured to look after your furry friend and give them the attention and affection they deserve. Living in Galway, I'm familiar with all the lovely walking spots and dog-friendly areas, and I would treat your dog as if they were my own.

I could not recommend Mags more! From the moment we booked the communication was great. We had never put our dog in with a dog sitter overnight so we were nervous but Mags really put us at ease. From the moment we met her she was so welcoming and so attentive to Bear’s needs. You can really see her love for dogs. She provided us with updates on how he was which we really appreciated. I cannot thank you enough for taking such good care of our dog. We will definitely be rebooking with Mags again. Bear is already looking to coming back for a play date with Freddie! Thanks Mags!
