“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!”

Cleanliness, safety and supervision are always my top priorities, and I send daily updates and photos for peace of mind.

About: My name is Liana and I'm 30 year's old and currently living in knocknacarra. I worked in ark veterinary clinic for 2 years before going to gti in 2021 to complete the animal care course. I graduated in summer 2022 with a Distinction and I'm a qualified animal care assistant. My boyfriend Ryan will be helping me out with visits so your furbabies will be getting twice the amount of cuddles. Ryan is 33 years old and has such a bond with animals, I have yet to meet any animal that doesn't instantly love him. We have two male cats Nova(12y) and Lance(9y) and have always had a strong passion for working with animals. I'm looking to get back into the animal world and start pet sitting so thought this would be a good start. This is my fulltime job so your pets will have my full attention. I have two male cats and 1 male guinea pig. I have been pet sitting since march last year and have meet so many lovely pets already. I will do the daily duties food water and changing of litter or bringing for a walk, I like to make sure your pet gets the best care possible.

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: 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

“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: Hi, I’m Róisín! I’m available for house sitting with pet care, or for drop-in visits and dog walking. I’m in Knocknacarra, Galway right now, but will be available in France in July and August. I have experience pet sitting for over 7 households, caring for both cats and dogs. I’ve also provided regular dog walking for multiple homes, as well as full house sitting that includes feeding, walking, and general care. I’ve had cats all my life, so I’m very comfortable with them, and while I haven’t owned a dog myself, I’ve spent lots of time around them through family, as well as minding dogs for others since my teens. I’m confident with all aspects of pet care, including feeding routines, administering medication, and, of course, the less glamorous bits like clean-up. I have my own car, so I can easily bring dogs to their usual walking spots, whether that’s the park, the Prom, the beach, or anywhere they’re used to. I’m happy to tailor walks to your preference, from shorter 30-minute walks to longer outings if needed. I’m very reliable and attentive, and I’ll keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you can feel at ease while you’re away. I’ll have extra availability during June, which means I can spend extended time at your home if desired, at no additional cost. I’m based in Galway and available until July, when I’ll be moving to France. Feel free to get in touch, I’d love to look after your pets! Róisín

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.
