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.

Information Rachel H. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog receives any special treatment or has any requirements I should know about. I am happy to travel within reasonable distance of Galway City, and would love to meet your pup!

A typical day

I believe dogs need both physical and mental stimulation, twice daily at least. A walk in Salthill or Coole Park with a furry friend is my idea of bliss. They say lots of sniffs give doggies good dreams!

Rachel, pet lover!

Pet care experience

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.

We couldn't be happier with Rachel's work! She sent us daily updates with photos, documenting all the fun they had with Finn. We came home to a happy pup and a spotless house, and couldn't be more grateful for all the care she put into dogsitting Finn. Thank you so much Rachel!

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!

I would highly recommend Rachel as a dog sitter/walker. Rachel absolutely adores animals- I can attest this seeing her with our family dog Sandy and numerous of our friends and families loved animals. Rachel often takes our dog Sandy on long walks and showers her in love when she visits home. Rachel attains qualities such as patience, kindness and trust- all key qualities of being a brilliant dog walker and sitter!
