Pet Sitters in County Galway

Ethna

Ethna is such a lovely person and took incredible care of our terrier mix Skipper, and our apartment. She was incredibly kind to drive up to Galway to meet us the weekend before our trip, which completely put us at ease leaving Skipper with her for three weeks. She sent us regular updates and pictures, took Skipper with her on adventures and we could just tell that he absolutely loved her company. When we got back from our trip, the apartment was cleaner than we left it; she had so kindly washed the sheets and everything. It was so nice coming back from a lengthy trip to a clean apartment and dog! We are pretty sure Skipper was a little disappointed to see us get back (and have Ethna leave!) We would not hesitate at all to recommend Ethna to anyone. We would love to have her back sometime and hope to meet again soon.

Arina

If I could leave more than 5 stars for Arina and Andrei I would. They took exceptional care of Jelly and we're so good with him. He stopped eating for a bit (stress as I have been away alot recently) and they made special food for him, bought him toys and nursed him so well. They are lovely, lovely people, when I got back from travelling I had a lovely welcome home, the house was clean and tidy and they had some special food left for Jelly too. I have no hesitation in recommending them as pet and house sitter xx

Dana

Dana was above and beyond wonderful. She was resourceful, dependable, tidy and had a great connection with our cats. The cats are usually very reserved, but when I introduced her to Connie, within a minute, he climbed into her knee, which we have never seen before... Dana has a very dependable and adult attitude and we totally recommend her, not just with animals but with minding the house. We would have her back in a heartbeat and so would the furries!

Rachael & Keith

We have been thoroughly spoilt with Rachael and Kieth as they are our first zeewoi and we could not be more delighted with the care and attention they gave to our two dogs , fishes and our home !!!!!! It was a joy to come home to a happy immaculate household and the videos sent of the dogs playing and running in the park really put our minds to rest . Thank you both and we would love to see you again Julia and David

Annie & Cathal

Annie and Cathal stayed at my house in Westport for 15 days over Christmas and New Year. This allowed me to have an extended break in the UK to meet up with family and friends. I was a little concerned that this might be a stretch for this arrangement but I need not have worried. From Cathal dropping me off at the airport to Annie picking me up on my return, everything worked like clockwork. My dog got on very well with theirs, and Annie and Cathal gave them lots of exercise despite some pretty average weather. They had some of their children visit, as agreed, during the period and they all left the house in spotless condition. Overall a great and positive experience for all concerned. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Annie and Cathal to any potential host. Definitely 5 star sitters!

Seán

Seán and Zoe-Mae were excellent pet and house sitters. They were happy to facilitate a video call with us in advance so that we could explain our pets’ routines. We knew from this call that they would be a great fit for our little menagerie. They arrived on time for the sit, immediately bonded with our animals, and were keen to learn how best to care for them. They kept in great contact with us throughout the sit, sending us updates and photos each morning and evening. We arrived home to happy, well-cared for pets, and a tidy home. This sit was easy and seamless. We would highly recommend Seán and Zoe-Mae, and are very grateful for the care and love they showed for our pets and our home.

Colleen

Colleen and Brian were a pleasure to deal with from our first contact. They were friendly, reliable and left our house tidier than they found it. We would recommend them for house and pet sitting without hesitation and would love to have them mind our home and dog again in the future if the opportunity arose.

Clive & Tara

Clive and Tara were organised, self-sufficient, clean and tidy and really kind to the animals. They sent me a much appreciated photo of the contented dogs and quick note every evening. They left everything spotless and in its place. They said they hadn't had much experience with hens before, but they cleaned the coop, fed the hens, retrieved the eggs and left everything in good order. The cat was relaxed and contented. The sunroom plants were all watered. I recommend them to others for future sits, but I am really hoping they will be available for pet-minding here again!

Jan

Jan, Jeremy and their lovely children took a great care of Rick and left the house clean and tidy. It was very easy to communicate with them before their arrival and during the sit. I would highly recommend them as sitters.

Anna

Anna got more than she bargained for with this house sit and we were very grateful to her for being so responsible and caring. Unfortunately poor Chewie got sick and picked up a really nasty gastroenteritis. There was a LOT of vomiting and diarrhoea and it culminated with an emergency trip to the vet for antibiotics etc. Anna was an absolute pro, she took good care of chewie, was very pro active with keeping us in the loop and managed to get all the medication into her too, not an easy task! We came home to a house that was cleaner than we left it and she'd even found time to make some home- baked chocolate cupcakes for us! Our poor dog is on the mend but she's still not herself, so we are really grateful to Anna for getting her to the vet so quickly and taking such good care of her.

Kristina

Kristina was absolutely brilliant. Arrived when she said she would. Looked after Buddy (our dog) so well and he was very happy when we got home. Kristina took him on lovely walks and gave Buddy lots of attention. Buddy took a real liking to Kristina straight away and made me really relax leaving him with her. The house was as I left it and very looked after. All in all a great person and totally recommend and would love to have Kristina look after Buddy again, anytime!!

Kathleen

Kathleen and John were a joy to have in the house looking after Maisie. She bonded with them very quickly and we were sent daily updates of her antics. We returned home to a happy dog and an immaculate house. They even swept the patio and watered the plants. They also left unexpected gifts😍. This was our first experience with Zeewoi and I have been singing their praises since.

Rahul

Tag took care of my dog for a short getaway we had.  Communicated well and left our place tidy. Thank you!

Dave & Donna

We had the most wonderful house sit at Dave & Donna's home. They are a lovely couple & most accommodating, we felt very welcomed. Kinney became our best friend straight away & it was a joy to spend time looking after her. She loved the long walks & going in the atv 
They have a gorgeous log cabin home, we were comfortable & enjoyed having a fire & hot tub. If you like beautiful mountain views, quiet surrounds, wildlife & space to breathe, I highly recommend this sit. It was a little bit of paradise to us & we appreciate being chosen to stay. Communication was great through this site as well as we had a zoom call to meet as we were international travellers.
Thank you Dave & Donna

Christine

Our recent sit for Kobe and Jibbet was a delight!  Both are loving, happy, playful -- with us and each other.  We loved taking Kobe for several walks a day at the pretty park across the street.   He's very responsive on leash and was very loyal to us when giving direction. And loves his treats. Jibbet is a young cat with all the energy that entails and such a very sweet kitty.   Seeing them sleeping together on the their warm bed was so very sweet!
Christine and Cameron's apartment is spacious and very close to all the lovely shopping and dining areas of old Pasadena.  They also left us marvelous treats from the recent trips abroad. An all round great stay!

Jennifer

This was an incredible housesit. Jen’s communication is very quick and clear. Her and her husband are lovely, caring, & generous people. We felt welcomed from the moment we walked into their home. By the way I should mention that they have such a gorgeous & organized home! We absolutely adored all of the kitties. To be honest it was really sad leaving them! We grew quite attached to them even after a short stay. The guest suite is super comfortable and the pool was amazing! Couldn’t have asked for a better stay! I hope to sit again in the future. Thanks for everything Jen!!
