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 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.

“We were so lucky to find Dearbhaile last minute on Rover before going on holidays, she called to meet us and our dog Darcie and we knew straight away Darcie would be in good hands. Darcie took to her straight away, she called everyday to take her for walks to the beach and sent lovely pictures to us of her enjoying herself in the water. Dearbhaile was great for communicating, really easy to deal with and nothing was a hassle with her. I would highly recommend Dearbhaile, she is extremely capable and an absolute pleasure to deal with. Elaine & Art, Salthill”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10, when my friend went on holidays with her family I cycled 6km to her house to walk and feed her dogs. My family got our Sandy, a labradoodle who is the light of our lives 8 years ago. Training, walking and playing with her are some of my favourite things to do on the weekends I visit home. I work full-time as a civil servant, but my hours are flexible. I am available every evening after 5pm and enjoy long walks in Salthill. My weekends are typically quiet so I am available full-time from Friday evening until Monday morning. I can also work remotely if required, I will just need a bit of notice. I am respectful of other people’s spaces and will adhere to any requests as set out. Each dog will be given fulfilling walks and I can provide transport to and from walking areas if needed.

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.

About: I have loved dogs for many years and I am a dog owner myself. I have a Golden Retriever who is 4 years and 8 months old. I have raised her since she was only 35 days old, so I truly understand the daily care, attention and exercise that dogs need. Through raising my own dog, I have plenty of hands-on experience with walking, running, playing, feeding and understanding different dog behaviours and energy levels. I know how important it is for dogs to get enough exercise, companionship and mental stimulation. I am patient, gentle and responsible, and I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully. Safety is my top priority, and I make sure every dog feels comfortable and happy during our walks or visits. Spending time with dogs brings me a lot of joy, and I would love to help give your dog the care, exercise and attention they deserve while you are busy or away. I currently work part-time, so I have flexible availability for pet care. I am available all day on Sundays and from 5 pm on wards Monday to Saturday, which is perfect for evening walks, playtime and drop-in visits. Your dog’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I always follow your instructions carefully and keep dogs safely on leash during walks. I pay close attention to their behaviour and surroundings and choose safe, quiet walking routes. I will also send updates and photos so you can feel relaxed knowing your dog is in good hands.

“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: 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

“Laura dropped in on our cockapoo Teddy a couple of times over the last few weeks. Teddy can be anxious meeting new people but loved Laura from the first meet. Would highly recommend Laura to anyone looking for a reliable sitter. Great communication too and regular updates.”

I offer a calm, patient, and attentive presence for your dog, whether they’re playful and energetic or prefer a quiet cuddle. You can count on me to treat your pup like one of my own—keeping them happy, safe, and loved while you're away. Growing up, my family and I regularly fostered kittens and puppies who were waiting for their forever homes. Through that experience, I learned how to care for animals of all ages, personalities, and needs—including shy, energetic, or nervous pets.

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

I'll ensure that there will always be fresh water, a clean environment, and regular updates to reassure you of their wellbeing
