Hello!

My name is Shauna, I'm a full-time vetted dog sitter based in Abbeyknockmoy, Co.Galway. I'm the proud owner of House of Paws 🐾 my own dog sitting business.

📷 You can find me on Instagram: @House_of_Paws1 and Facebook @House Of Paws Galway.

I've been dog sitting full time for over 3 years now and have gained a wealth of knowledge by caring for dogs of different temperaments and personalities.

Unfortunately my diary is closed for boarding & daycare bookings (in my home) until early 2025 due to our home renovation.

However, I am happy to discuss bookings for dog walking, house calls & boarding requests (in the owners home). Please send a DM if interested with dates.

I understand that not all dogs thrive in a kennel environment- this is why I offer limited boarding and daycare slots per day. Your dog will stay inside in our home, there are no kennels and crates. Your pup will be in a home from home setting to ensure that they have a positive experience.

To put your mind at ease whilst you are away I will provide you with daily updates & photos of your dog so I can assure you that they're in great hands and having a great time on their own staycation! 😊

When booking please state what times you wish to drop off & collect your dog so the adequate rate can be charged.

(Additional information)

I have a 3 year old Golden Retriever called Zeus, he is well-socialised, loves to play and is a very good companion for any dogs that come to stay.

I grew up with a variety of breeds at home (Siberian Huskies, Westies, Samoyeds, Labradors). I competed in dog shows (both IKC & agri) all over Ireland for nearly a decade so I have a lot of experience handling dogs of different sizes.

IMPORTANT-PLEASE NOTE:

All dogs who require a booking must have up to date vaccinations (incl kennel cough). Proof of these vaccines must be shown prior to check in or on the day of check in.

Your dog must be regularly wormed, free from fleas, ticks & house trained* (understandable if a puppy). All dogs who require a booking must be well-socialised and enjoy the company of other dogs and people.

My dog boarding rates are for 24 hours so if you are planning on collecting your dog later than the drop off time there will be a late collection fee of €10/€15 depending on how many additional hours are required.

Feel free to have a browse through my gallery to see some of the lovely pups I've had the pleasure of taking care of 🥰

If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Kind regards,

Shauna.
