House Sitting Galway

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was little. I own 2 dogs, a German shepherd and a French bulldog, so I have experience with both big and small sizes. I’ve also worked as a dog sitter throughout high school, walking and taking care of dogs of all breeds and ages. I love spending time with them and especially playing with them. I also have experience with puppies since my dog had some back in 2022! In general I just really love dogs and I appreciate how much they give to us and I’d love to be able to give back! I’m a full time college student, but I have multiple breaks during the day, so my schedule is very flexible. All my evenings are free, so I’ll have plenty of time to walk your per through out the day I’d treat your puppies as my own, offering them so much love. I’d take them on long walks and play with them till they’re tired. I’d also love to spend time with them in your house, just to keep them company and feed them!

“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!”

“Tawny was great with our three dogs and cat. She went through our thorough instructions at the meet and greet and made sure she understood what our animals needed. When it came time to sit, she was punctual and always arrived when she said she would. She was great about updating us with pictures and reaching out with any concerns (like one of the dogs deciding not to eat). I'd definitely recommend her to take care of your pack!”

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’m currently enrolled in university in Galway, with about 14-18 hrs of lectures a week so I have plenty time between classes to care for and check on your pets. 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: 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 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: Hi, I'm Carola! I have my own dog (a toy poodle), who's known for being a bit of a handful, he's had eye problems, so I'm experienced with giving medication. I've also looked after friends' dogs and cats while they were away on holiday. I love dogs and animals in general, I studied natural sciences and I'm currently doing my master's in marine biology. I'm only here for two months, but I'd love to help out if anyone needs a hand looking after their dog. I have classes in the mornings, so I'm almost always free in the afternoons. I'm usually free on Fridays and weekends too, so I have plenty of time to play with and spend time with your pets. I make sure your dog doesn't get bored and gets plenty of mental stimulation, so that he barely notices you're gone or at least stays busy and happy the whole time.

About: I’ve always had a huge love for dogs, no matter their age, breed or size. I have 2 dogs of my own, so I know how much our dogs mean to us and how important it is to know they’re happy, safe and well looked after. For the past 2 years, I’ve been minding and walking dogs for other people, and I absolutely love getting to know all their different personalities, whether they’re full of energy and love going on long walks or are more than happy with a few cuddles and a cosy nap ! I’m reliable, caring and patient and I’ll always treat your dog as if they were my own. I’m happy to follow their usual routine and make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, playtime and, of course, lots of cuddles! I’m currently in college, so I have a really flexible schedule and can usually work pet care around my classes. I’m able to be quite flexible with walks, visits and minding and I’m happy to work around your dog’s usual routine where I can. I’m unable to host pets in my own home but I’m very happy to care for pets in their own home. I’m respectful of each pet’s routine and the owner’s preferences and I’m happy to follow any care instructions, feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication requirements and house guidelines provided. My priority is making sure pets feel safe and comfortable.

“Liana was a pleasure to work with and arranging her stay with our senior, somewhat complicated and spicy cat was a huge success. He in LOVE wither he lap in under 48 hours…and, based on photos she sent, I think he likes her more than me, now…”

About: New to the Rover app, but not to pet-sitting! We're a couple saving for our wedding while also missing time with animals, because we are renting at the moment. If you're looking for someone to shower your pet companions with love and affection while keeping their routine intact, look no further! Dogs: We have looked after friends' dogs while they've been away, including in a multi-pet household with a senior dog. Cats: We are very familiar with caring for cats. Eilís has had a cat in their life since childhood, has looked after cats with behavioural issues due to trauma, and has volunteered at a vet practice in the past. We're a couple saving for our wedding while also missing time with animals, because we are renting at the moment. We both have hybrid work arrangements, so we can fit caring for your pet into our schedule. We will fit in with your pet's schedule, keeping them company so that they don't miss you too much. We can send frequent photo updates and will always prioritise the safety of your animal family member.

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.

“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!”

“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: I have been minding and walking dogs since I was 13. I have a strong love for all animals but dogs and cats hold a special place in my heart! I have minded many dogs for as long as three weeks at a time, ensuring to give them so much walks, cuddles and love! I’m currently a university student and my flexible schedule and lack of lecture hours in a week means I will have a lot of time to care for your animals! I am an early bird and will take your dog out for a morning walk and a long evening walk after dinner before settling on the couch with them for the evening to watch a movie. I have a fenced back and front garden and the front gate is always locked. I have a cat and a dog, both incredibly friendly around other dogs and cats as they are used to being surrounded by previous dogs I’ve minded and they very much enjoy the company!

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.

“Nikola was brilliant. It was our first time using a dogsitter for our 6-month-old puppy who can be quite a lot to handle. She was great with comms beforehand, sent me updates and photos during her stay and Sparky loved her! She also had suggestions for what might help with some of his behaviour. Highly recommend!”

About: Although I don't have a dog of my own, I regularly care for my friend's dog and have experience looking after other animals. I genuinely enjoy spending time with pets and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I'm patient, responsible, and reliable, and as a student on summer holiday, I have a flexible schedule to give pets the attention and companionship they deserve. As a student on summer holiday, pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine. I have a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide regular dog walks, feeding, playtime, companionship, and consistent, reliable care. I ensure pets stay safe by following owners' instructions, securing doors and gates, removing hazards, keeping the home clean, and providing constant supervision and care.

“Raquel was the loveliest kindest Dog lover that we’ve had so far. Harvey and Lexi were so happy with her. She took her photos and videos every day she took them for the walks. They cuddled on the couch with her. The three of them were very happy together. If she was concerned about something she would call me and she’d put my mind at rest. It was lovely to go away and not have anything to worry about because I knew harvey and Lexi were well cared for we’d have her again in the heartbeat”

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.
