House Sitting Galway

“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!”

“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 🐾🙌”

About: I’ve always had pets growing up, currently have two cats and a cheeky dog. I enjoy teaching him new tricks and chasing balls. I’ve taken care of all ages of dogs from months old to 18 years, and everything in between. Taken care of many cats and know how to keep them entertained. I am currently working part-time, usually 4-5 days a week with mainly weekdays free. I work a 9:30-6/10-5 schedule most days so I am available for morning and evening visits and potentially afternoon depending on location I don’t have the facilities to care for dogs in my own home, but I am more than happy to take care of your pet where they feel comfortable.

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: 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.

“Róisín did a fantastic job looking after our young cat. We would highly recommend her. Communication before and after the booking was very good, she sent lots of pictures and videos while we were away and we came home to a happy cat. We just hope she's available next time we need to go away!”

Audrey F.

“I can't recommend Audrey enough, she took excellent care of my dog and my home, was very communicative and professional throughout her stay, and even did some training to ease my girls separation anxiety. I'll definitely be hiring her again in the future.”

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.

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.

“Tom was great with Douglas and really flexible working around our plans. Douglas was so happy to see him and seemed really relaxed and content when we came home. Would highly recommend Tom!”

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: Hi there!

I’m an enthusiastic animal lover with a lifelong passion for pets. 🐶 My journey with animals began with my first dog, a boxer, and continues today with my beloved 15-year-old puggle, Chloe, who I adore to bits. 💕 Over the years, I’ve also cared for bunny rabbits 🐰 and fish 🐟, each bringing joy and unique experiences.
My deep love for animals even led me to do work experience at a veterinary clinic during my teenage years, where I gained valuable hands-on experience. This passion inspired me to become a vegan 🌱, reflecting my commitment to animal welfare. While my friends are captivated by babies, I’m the one who always stops to greet and pet every dog on the promenade!
I’d love to mind your pets while you’re away instead of them going into a kennel! 🐾
My experience as a lifeguard and swim teacher has also instilled in me a strong sense of responsibility and reliability. I preferably seek house sitting and dog walking opportunities within the city. If you’re based outside an 8 km radius, I would kindly request travel costs to be covered.
Your furry friends will be in excellent hands with me! I promise to provide them with all the love, care, and attention they deserve. 🐕❤️ Whether it’s a walk in the park or keeping them company while you’re away, I’m here to ensure they have a great time.
Trust me to give your pets the best care possible.

Best regards,
Jessica I currently work part time from 9am-1pm I am a medical student I am free before and after work I love going on long walks too so I’d love to walk your dog! I have a large fully enclosed garden. I am very flexible and I love walking, minding and playing with dogs!! I can follow any specific instructions you have

About: Ive taken care of puppies before, trained puppies, taken care of elderly dogs aswell. Capable of walking all types of dogs and looking after and playing with cats I’m in college with spare time on the weekend and most evenings during the weekdays. Im currently unemployed and babysit on the odd Saturday evening. I have a back garden with walls and two closed gates, two dogs that get along good with other dogs and a cat whos unbothered by other animals

About: I have been walking dogs for friends and family for years now, I love taking care of animals, both cats and dogs! I would love to meet your pet! I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to care for pets and go on long walks. I can be available at short notice. I am very responsible with pets, I live near grassy areas and a dog cafe where dogs can meet other dogs if your pet likes to meet friends!

About: I have looked after dogs and cats for years. I have had dogs and cats of my own for years also. Am happy to look after puppies also. Your fur baby will be looked after so well. I’m currently working part time so on the days I have availability marked I am fully able to mind your animals. I am also available to do house calls for walks and toilet breaks for your pets. I live on the first floor apartment in Bohermore with outdoor green areas so your dog will be on leash for all toilet breaks and walkies. I have a car also and can bring them for a spin to the park or beach for walkies if your animals like the car, if not they can be walked around the area I live.

About: I have had my dog for 14 years, and since I was a child I've walked dogs for friends and family and have looked after family dogs overnight. I also care for a lot of our neighbourhood cats by feeding them and leaving water out when it's warm. I'm currently a student at University of Galway but I live at home, and I'm home quite often so I'd be around to care for the pet most of the day. Even if I wasn't around, there's always someone at home since my mother works from home, and my own dog Harley would be there to keep your pet company. I have a large garden and lot's of indoor space for large animals, I have a very friendly 14 year old female Husky/Retriever mix that would be great company for pets I look after. She's extremely gentle with cats so no bother there either. I walk my dog 1-2 times a day, I would do the same for a dog I look after. My neighbourhood is a great area for dogwalking, there's lots of green spaces and a beach. I live with my family so there would be other trusted adults around too. I would look after a pet in someone else's house but would also be super open to keeping them at my own house too.

“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: Hi! I’m Veronica, in my 30s and proud rescue dog human to Thor 🐾 I know first-hand how difficult it can be to trust someone with your dog, because I’ve been in that position too. I understand the stress of leaving your dog with someone new and how important it is to find someone reliable, patient, and genuinely caring. I’ve always been one of those people who, as a child, would stop to say hello to every dog I saw… and honestly, not much has changed... If there’s a dog nearby, chances are I’ll be the one asking if I can say hi :) Animals have always been a big part of my life. Growing up, I always had pets at home, from hamsters and guinea pigs to dogs, and over the years I’ve also gained experience caring for cats. Thor is a rescue dog and has been by my side for the last 10 years. He’s a sensitive soul and has struggled with many things over the years, but through training, patience, love (lots of love!) and, of course, plenty of treats, he has grown in confidence and come such a long way. Living with Thor has taught me that every animal is different, each with their own personality, needs, and boundaries. That’s why, before starting any service, I like to take the time to get to know your best friend and ask plenty of questions during our first meeting! It helps me understand their routine, personality, and needs so I can adapt my care and make them feel as comfortable and safe as possible 🐾 I currently work part time in the mental health field, which means I am Garda vetted. I also offer 1-to-1 dog walks and home visits in Galway City. I don’t mix dogs from different households unless agreed beforehand, so your pet gets my full attention :). I have a car in case of any emergency and I'm PET FIRST AID CERTIFIED. My goal is simple: happy pets, relaxed humans, and peace of mind knowing they’re in safe hands 💙 I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility for pet care. I am available most mornings from Monday to Sunday, as well as several afternoons throughout the week. I am Garda Vetted and work with vulnerable individuals, so I understand the importance of trust, responsibility, and reliability. I am in my 30s and have recently completed a Master's degree in Psychology, which has strengthened my communication skills, attention to detail, and professional approach. I am punctual, dependable, and attentive to each pet's individual needs, ensuring they feel safe and comfortable. My dog, Thor, does not get along with other dogs or cats, so I provide care exclusively in the owner’s home. I consider this to be better for them, as staying in their own homes is less disruptive to their routines and allows them to adapt more comfortably and naturally to their usual environment.

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 small group numbers and 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.
