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.

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.

I will follow any guidance given along with common sense and lots of dog experience. I'm known to understand and get on well with dogs.

“Niamh was great with our dog, Bruno. The communciation was excellent and she shared photos so we knew they were having a great time. She also went the extra mile as Bruno was feeling unwell at the time and Niamh looked after him excellently and cleaned up after he had made a mess. Would highly recommend.”

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: 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: 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: 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. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or keeping to a routine, I treat every pet like my own, with patience, love, and lots of attention. 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.

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.

Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine because I’m fully flexible and available Monday to Sunday. This allows me to accommodate different schedules, provide consistent care, and ensure that pets get the attention and exercise they need at a time that works best for their owners.

Whether indoors or outdoors, I ensure they feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for.
