House Sitting Galway

“Dearbhaile was very accommodating when I was stuck last minute and I felt so at ease leaving Réalta in her care. We got daily photos and updates, and I would gladly recommend or rebook again 🐾🙌”

“Rachel was brilliant with house-sitting Moby! She kept him company, gave him 3 walks a day, stayed with him some of the nights and kept me updated with photos while I was away. She followed all instructions and was great with communication. Your fur baby is definitely in safe, caring hands with her!”

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.

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: 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 am an experienced pet sitter and lifelong animal lover. I have had pets since childhood and understand the importance of routine, consistency and proper care. I am confident caring for dogs of different sizes and temperaments, including energetic young dogs. I provide a safe, structured and loving home environment, with regular walks, playtime and attention. I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully and send daily updates and photos for peace of mind Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I carefully plan my schedule to ensure dogs in my care receive plenty of attention, structured walks, playtime and supervision throughout the day. I maintain consistency with feeding times, exercise and rest, as I understand how important routine is for a dog’s wellbeing. I am available for boarding during the week and weekends, and I always prioritise the comfort and safety of the pets staying in my home. I provide a safe and welcoming home environment with a fully enclosed garden surrounded by walls, allowing dogs to enjoy outdoor time securely. I also have a friendly little dog who enjoys company and can provide companionship if your dog is comfortable with other dogs. All interactions are supervised to ensure everyone feels safe and relaxed. I carefully follow each dog’s routine, including feeding times, exercise and rest. Cleanliness, safety and supervision are always my top priorities, and I send daily updates and photos for peace of mind.

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.

“Paulo did a tremendous job looking after our 16 week old Golden Retriever puppy Bowie. Paulo worked a 9 hour shift sitting for Bowie and a brilliant job was done. We received updates via photos and videos throughout the day, which included leash walking Bowie, doing command training, showing Bowie new things which Paulo has great experience with dogs. You know a fantastic job was done when we came home and seen Bowie fast asleep. Definitely recommend Paulo 💯”

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.
