About: I am a full-time dog sitter and walker with 10 years' experience caring for dogs of various sizes, from Rottweilers to pugs. During this time, I have learned that each dog is unique and has its own specific needs. My approach focuses on meeting each dogs needs: health, exercise, food, sleep and enrichment - whether that be a puppy needing hourly toilet breaks, a high-energy dog requiring lots of exercise and mental stimulation, or a senior needing medication. I can also support training. I am trained in canine first aid and dog behaviour and always carry an first aid kit. I am working full-time at the moment as a dog walker/minder. Apart from walks during the day, where I can be away for up to 2 hours, I supervise the dogs. They get plenty of exercise and affection. I follow all instructions the owner provides for me, including walking and minding. I use a form to gather all information about the current routine and follow it.

“Cosmo had a great time today with Jiuxin! We got loads of photos and videos of how he was doing all day and he really enjoyed himself there. Would highly recommend Jiuxin and will be booking again soon 👍😊”

About: Hi! I’m a big dog lover with years of experience caring for my own dogs as well as dog sitting and walking experience over in New Zealand. I understand how important it is to have someone you trust looking after your pet, and I always make sure each dog feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I offer walks, boarding, and lots of attention, tailored to suit your dog’s needs and routine. Your dog will be treated like one of my own, with plenty of love, playtime, and care 🐶 I work from home on Thursdays and Fridays, and I’m fully at home on weekends, so your dog will have lots of attention, care, and company. My home is spacious with plenty of room for medium-sized dogs, a fully fenced back garden for safe play, and Renville just down the road for long, enjoyable walks.

About: "I've cared for dogs since I was little, bathing, feeding, and giving them lots of love. I enjoy taking them for walks and I'm very patient. As a migrant, I miss my own pet, so I'd love to care for yours and give them all the attention they need. Plus, I'd love to have their company on my days off, that would be great!" "My schedule is fully available all day Sunday to care for your pet, providing plenty of time to play together and go for long walks. I also have some availability on Mondays, so feel free to ask and we can coordinate something!" "I love taking dogs for walks! I enjoy lots of walking and exercise, so they'll get plenty of fun movement. Near where I live, I have a field and areas to play with them. Your fur babies can be safe with me, and I have tons of patience with them. I love spending time with them and being together. Also, if the weather isn't good, like on rainy days, I can care for them in my home and keep them cozy."

“Mary was absolutely lovely and our puppy Henry was very clearly well looked after and happy during our day away. It was our 1st time leaving Henry with someone and we were delighted to get updates and photos from Mary to put our mind at ease. I couldn't recommend Mary highly enough and we will definitely be contacting her again during our next visit to Galway. Thanks a million Mary, it was lovely to meet you!”

About: I adore dogs and have a beautiful cocker spaniel girl of my own. I have sent my girl to doggy day care whilst at work so I completely understand why you want your beloved pet to have company fun and exercise whilst you are out. I love the company of dogs and find their energy beautiful to be around. My previous dog passed away a couple of years ago at age 13yrs. She was quite unwell in the last years of her life. I cared for her medically and I have a soft spot for elderly dogs so I will go at their pace. I am shortly reducing my working week to two days per week. I also plan to take block periods of leave over the summer into the winter so I will be available for block boarding. I will also be able to provide full time day care during this period. I walk my own dog every single morning without fail regardless of weather. I will be home all day with any dog in my care I have a back garden that is fully enclosed so it is very safe. Your dog will be with me indoors except times they will be in the garden to toilet or play. The back door will remain open for them to come back into my home. I never leave my own dog outside so your pet will be with me at all times indoors. We will cosy up on in my living room and go for walks.

About: I've owned a dog for 15 years and ever since that I haven't had the chance to have another one, so when I have an opportunity to dog sit, I take it! They are the best companies to have around :) I currently work from home, so I can onboard dogs during the week and during my lunch time I can take for toilet break. And I can also onboard on weekends. My apartment is small and cozy, so I've settled a comfy place to take care of your paw friend to relax and feel safe with me!

About: Hi! I’m Niamh. I’ve grown up surrounded by both dogs and cats, and caring for them has always been a joyful part of my life. I know how much our pets mean to us, and I’d love the opportunity to provide your furry friend with the love, attention, and care they deserve while you’re away. Whether it's playtime, walks, or just some cozy company, your pet will be in safe and happy hands with me! I offer a calm, patient, and attentive presence for your dog, whether they’re playful and energetic or prefer a quiet cuddle. You can count on me to treat your pup like one of my own—keeping them happy, safe, and loved while you're away. Growing up, my family and I regularly fostered kittens and puppies who were waiting for their forever homes. Through that experience, I learned how to care for animals of all ages, personalities, and needs—including shy, energetic, or nervous pets.

About: I've been a dog lover for as long as I can remember, looking after dogs of all sizes, my own and those of friends and family I'm currently working part-time so I have plenty of time for dog minding.

I live nearby many parks and near the beach for long walks

About: I’ve always had a deep passion and love for dogs. Growing up around dogs and a veterinary nurse auntie taught me a lot about how to care for animals and how to give them everything they need for them to flourish I will be available to take dogs from the 19th of May onwards. I am currently searching for employment so will be 100% free until then, even when I find a job, I will be available for dog care on specific week evenings and weekends. I live in a very spacious apartment where my house mates have successfully minded dogs in before. It’s right beside Merlin woods so perfect for long walks. I side of the apartment is very spacious and not too loud outside.

“We couldn't be happier with the care our dog Lola received! From the moment Sarah arrived, it was clear Lola was in safe hands. Lola was up on her lap on the sofa within minutes and was so relaxed and happy. We got photos of her out for a walk & fast asleep afterwards. Sarah is a real dog person & treated Lola like her own. It's such a relief to know we have someone we can trust to look after her and will definitely be contacting her again. Highly recommend!”

About: Pet sitting instagram: Rachelscuddleandcare 🐶 I have a passion for all animals and I have 12 years experience of pet sitting. I am currently studying Animal Care and Grooming at GTI. Being around animals brings me so much joy and I will love your animal as if they were my own. Pet sitting fits perfectly into my schedule and it gives me freedom to meet many different pets. Pet sitting is my main job at the moment. I will firstly gain trust with your pet so they can feel comfortable around me. I will get to own their personality and their likes/dislikes. I will play, feed, walk and give attention to your pet.

About: I am a responsible and caring pet owner who always prioritizes the safety and well-being of the dogs in my care. With Bibi and me, your dog will have a wonderful time, and you can have peace of mind knowing they are in good hands. I look forward to meeting you and your beloved pet soon! 🐾 I have a deep love for animals and have always been passionate about their well-being. This love has driven me to dedicate significant time and effort to ensuring the happiness and health of all the pets I care for. My journey as a pet owner and dog sitter has taught me the importance of patience, attention to detail, and understanding each dog's unique personality and needs. Over the past two years, I have gained extensive experience caring for Bibi and her doggy friends. Whether it's organizing playdates, going on long walks, or ensuring they have a comfortable and fun stay at our home, I always strive to create a positive experience for every dog I look after. Bibi gets along great with other dogs, and together, we'll make sure your pet feels happy and secure. In addition to my personal experience, I have also had the pleasure of dog sitting for my friends. This has given me the opportunity to care for a variety of breeds and temperaments, enhancing my ability to cater to each dog's unique needs. Every dog that stays with us is treated with the same love and care as Bibi. Furthermore, I have volunteered at a Polish animal shelter, where I assisted in caring for dogs of all ages and backgrounds. This experience has deepened my understanding of dog behavior and the importance of providing a stable and nurturing environment for them. Your dog will stay in our comfortable apartment, which features a large balcony perfect for fresh air and sunshine. Additionally, we have access to a spacious rooftop area where dogs can play and socialize safely. The neighborhood is surrounded by plenty of green areas and parks, providing ample opportunities for long walks and outdoor fun. We also have a car, making it easy to take your dog on exciting outings, including trips to the beach. Bibi loves the beach, and I'm sure your dog will too. They can enjoy running on the sand, playing in the water, and soaking up the sun, all under careful supervision.

About: I'm a 24-year-old Galway girl and currently work as a planner for Galway County Council. Originally from a quaint village outside the city, I have a passion for exercise and dogs. It feels amazing to weave my interests into my work, making it a perfect fit for me! As a dog sitter, I've primarily minded my friends' dogs, and I've absolutely loved every minute of it. Bringing them along with me on my daily adventures and taking them on long walks has been such a rewarding experience. I grew up with dogs and have always had a close bond with them. Walking dogs has been a big part of my life, and I'm very familiar with various breeds and their temperaments. I have a deep respect for dogs and understand that each one has its unique personality and needs. This experience has taught me how to connect with them and appreciate their individuality. I live in Castlelawn heights but originally from Menlough village. I am mainly between the two locations at the weekends. At home in Menlough I have two dogs (two jack Russels), called Bain and Bonnie. Bain is the mother of Bonnie.

About: I look forward to welcoming your dog to our group of pals. Services will have drop off / collection at a meeting point in Oranmore or Clarinbridge (not my home). I am an experienced dog trainer, Mantrailing instructor and dog groomer who is happy to mind your dog overnight in our home. I am cpr and first aid trained, Garda vetted and privately insured. I have experience in reactivity on leash and general pet training from puppy to adult. I can handle large and small dogs. My own dogs have shared their home with hundreds of rescue and boarding dogs over the years. We enjoy walks in the forest, "sniffaris" (searching for treats like sausage and cheese) and snuggling up together at the end of the day. I might need to ask additional questions about your dog and their needs before I accept the booking. I might request a meet and greet at your home before accepting bookings for longer than 2 nights. You can also look at my social media profile at 4 Furry Paws Dog Training. I currently have 5 of my own dogs at home - 3 german shepherds one pointer and one chihuahua cross. They all get along and are very bonded and happy with each other. They have shared their home, toys and snacks (and me) happily for most of their lives. We take forest walks daily and can do training as well while your dog is in my care. I have enrichment available like a sniffari for sausages / cheese or treats and chews available. I make sure the dog is safe, confident in the activities and loved. Please message me with specific date requests if you do not see what you need on here !
