Pet Sitting Galway

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.

About: I am dedicated dog lover with a spacious home and fenced yard, ready to give your furry friend all the attention they deserve while you’re away. Since I work from home full time, I’ve learned it’s great to share my free time with dogs, walking around the neighborhood, playing fetch, learning new tricks, and cuddling! There are no other dogs or kids in the house. I have worked with families for a long time, caring for their dogs and see them as an extension of the family, so I make sure to love and care for them well. And just so you know, your dog may get at least five new nicknames from me. I am a full-time grad student at the University of Galway. I am hoping my schedule and can align with yours, as playing with dogs, caring for them, taking them on walks is a great way to take a break from all of the studying! I treat your dog as if they are my own, so I make sure that they are safe throughout my time with them. I also make sure to treat your home with respect and care and hope to leave it even better than I found it.

About: I've always had a passion for all types of animals and enjoy caring for them as if they were my own. I had a dog as a child, and my family has always had them. My first summer job was as a dog sitter at age 15, and I loved it, so I've always looked after the pets of friends, family, and boyfriends when they couldn't. I work full time in the city center, I am available on weekends and possibly every evening of the week to take care of your 4-legged friends, whether for a walk or to look after them during the night, I am happy to dedicate all the time at my disposal Unfortunately I don't have a garden but the apartment is spacious, I don't have other animals at home so all the attention and spaces will be dedicated exclusively to your 4-legged friend, respecting his habits and needs I know perfect places for him to stay in nature near home

“Andreja was absolutely fantastic while taking care of our cat Kelce during our time away. Her communication was excellent from start to finish, always keeping us updated and making sure we felt completely at ease. She sent loads of photos and videos, which we really appreciated, and it was clear Kelce adored her. Andreja spent plenty of time playing with her and giving her attention, and we came home to a very happy, relaxed cat. We’re incredibly satisfied with her care and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, kind, and attentive cat sitter.”

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!

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: ***No pets living with me currently *** For me this genuinely wouldn’t be a job I just adore spending time with animals. I have two golden retrievers I have grown up feeding them and taking care of them my whole life. I also have put sat for my neighbours on many occasions I go on a walk in the morning by the sea. I come home and have lunch then I chill and do some work for a few hours. Then I go grocery shopping and then go on another walk by the sea before dinner and then I go to sleep. I live in a spacious apartment with a big courtyard and a balcony for potty. There is a prom near the sea near me so I walk a lot there

“Emer did a great job looking after Olive. She fed her and cleaned out her tray when needed. She also updated us with photos. Olive was happy!”

“We cannot recommend Asia enough! From our very first meeting it was clear that she is a genuinely nice, kind and caring person, who truly loves animals. Her gentle energy and attention to detail made a huge difference and we came home to 2 very happy and relaxed cats. If you are looking for a trustworthy, incredibly warm-hearted sitter, Asia is the absolute best. Would highly recommend.”

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.

About: Having had pets all my life, caring for animals has always come naturally to me.

“Samara took wonderful care of our cat for a full week, updating us with videos, pictures and information without us needing to ask. Our cat is exceptionally shy but Samara managed to get some play time with her. Reliable, friendly and very thorough cat sitter who I would recommend to anyone, especially nervous cats.”

About: I have always had animals since I was a child, and I have always taken good care of them. I grew up on a farm full of animals, so I learned how to look after them, respect them, and understand them. I really miss having a pet, so I decided to become a pet sitter. I work full-time from Monday to Thursday, so I am available full-time on weekends to look after your pets. I work from 2 PM onwards, so if you like, I can also help with your pets in the morning if necessary. I have always owned dogs, so I know exactly how to look after and care for them. I have raised them from puppyhood through to their senior years, so I am familiar with every stage of a dog's life. I am a very active person who enjoys the outdoors, so I can take your dogs out for walks as often as you like.

“Victoria took great care of my cat, Jesse, while I was away. Easy to communicate with, regular updates and Jesse loves her! This is the second time I've booked Victoria and I'm sure I'll be rebooking her again and again - great service!”

About: I have had pets since I was 3 years old, so caring for animals has been apart of my life for as long as I can remember. I understand the importance of tending to each pets unique needs as they all have different personalities. I work 4–5 days a week with a schedule that varies from week to week, but I always keep my availability up to date and can be flexible around my shifts. I’m happy to provide walks, drop-in visits, and quality time for your pets. I genuinely love being around animals and look forward to spending time with them, not just working with them. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I’ll always follow your instructions carefully, keep your pet’s environment clean and secure, and make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I currently rent an apartment where pets aren’t permitted, which is one of the reasons I enjoy pet sitting so much it gives me the opportunity to spend time caring for animals while giving owners peace of mind that their pets are in safe, loving hands.

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 grew up leaving with pets especially dogs, My father was a Vet. Got all the experience of taking care of pets from him, I call literally say my whole life is surrounded with animals ( Dogs, cats, pigs, cows, chickens). I'm currently working part time but i can create time to visit and play with pets. I'm available weekends for boarding, play dates and walks, but also available weekdays after 6pm One can also be refreshed by playing with pets after a long day. If the owner has a backyard, the pet can be release in there to be played with and use the space. But if the owner has no backyard space, it's still fine. will then have to take a walk to the closest pack for the pet to have free mobility. Exercise for pets is paramount for their health.

“Mags was absolutely brilliant with my 2 kitties Midna and Ezlo. Ezlo requires medication and Mags had no problems giving it to him! Midna is also a very standoffish kitty and she warmed to her very quickly! She kept me updated with lots of pics and let me know if there was anything off. Would highly recommend Mags if you’re looking for a cat sitter!”
