Dog walkers in Galway

About: My name is Shauna, I'm a full-time vetted dog sitter based in Abbeyknockmoy, Co.Galway. I'm the proud owner of House of Paws 🐾 my own dog-sitting business. I’ve been working as a pet sitter full-time for 4 years. I competed in dog shows (both IKC & agri) all over Ireland for nearly a decade so I have a lot of experience handling dogs of different sizes. I have a 4 year old Golden Retriever named Zeus, he is well-socialised, loves to play and is a very good companion for any dog that come to stay. I grew up with a variety of breeds at home (Siberian Huskies, Westies, Samoyeds, Labradors). Pet sitting is my full-time job, it’s completely built into my daily and weekly routine. I plan my days around the dogs in my care – from walks and playtime to feeding and keeping them on their usual routine. Whether it’s daycare, walks, overnight stays, house sitting or check-ins, I’m fully dedicated to giving each dog my full attention and care like they’re my own. I've been dog sitting full time for 4 years now and have gained a wealth of knowledge by caring for dogs of different temperaments and personalities. I prioritise safety, trust, and a calm environment for every pet in my care. Whether I’m providing in-home dog sitting, daycare, or drop-in visits, I always follow each pet’s routine to help them feel secure and settled. I take the time to build trust, respect their space, and ensure they receive the same level of care and attention as I would give my own. You can feel confident knowing your dog is in experienced, reliable hands ☺️ I understand that not all dogs thrive in a kennel environment- this is why I offer limited boarding and daycare slots per day. Your dog will stay inside in our home, there are no kennels and crates. Your pup will be in a home from home setting to ensure that they have a positive experience.

“Emily was absolutely incredible. Great communication and she also took the most gorgeous photos of my dog 😍 it’s never easy being away from your pup but with Emily I was continuously updated and I could see that Bruno was having the best time ever so it gave me a lot of peace of mind! Thank you so much, Emily ☺️ ”

About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was a little girl, and some of my fondest memories are from going on walks with my dogs. I currently can’t have my own pets so I’d love to spend time with other people’s fur babies! I currently work hybrid so I’m flexible to pop in and out as your pet pals need, able to do early mornings or late nights too I understand well how pets have their own personalities and needs, so I’m incredibly willing to be briefed by any pet owners as to their pets needs and nerves so as to provide the most comfortable experience possible

I've nesting birds returning year after year in multiple sheds. The house is surrounded by trees and is away from any main roads it sits in it's own with only farmland around and a trunk road that's only used by tractors mainly there's just one other house at the end of the road. The location is quiet peaceful and relaxing for anybody or any pet. It's also an on going project if mine. I also have one collie I've had since he was a pup he's my best mate and we share the days together. I've trained him myself also. He's a people lover of that there is no doubt and everyone falls in love with him immediately. Your pet will come to a stress free zone and get a ton of attention and made to feel special there's lots of room to explore for the quiet pets who need space there's lots of that too. Pets need calm and theres no dramas here it's safe and your dog can be itself allday long happy in its own world I'm restoring my house I'm currently in so I'm here 24/7 most weeks working on a room at a time I have two houses adjoined to each other which allows for alot of flexibility also I have multiple sheds that I'm transitioning which can be used for many purposes they are well built and directly next to the house. If I needed to I can convert them to shelters very quickly. The house is surrounded with strong border fences all around there's only one road in . And it's fields for as far as you can see. It's as safe as it gets .

About: Growing up on a farm has helped me gain plenty of experience with animals. I have always had a passion and a love for them. They are the most amazing, gentle creatures and also the best company. I currently own a little west highland terrier so my day to day consists of early walks through the woods or scenic walks on the beach and plenty of cuddles when it’s time to wind down in the evening. We take a ball on our walk to play and plenty of treats when we get home. I live in a house which has a big fenced garden and also a good sized living area/kitchen where your baby can relax and cuddle up. I have a little fur baby myself which will keep yours company. She is super friendly and enjoys the company herself.

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
