  Echange culturel et opportunités d'apprendre

  Staying with us in rural East Galway offers a peaceful retreat into the Irish countryside and a unique opportunity to work closely with three rescue dogs who each have their own story. You’ll gain hands-on experience supporting dogs who have overcome trauma, anxiety, and medical challenges—learning to care for animals who require patience, understanding, and trust-building. It’s a chance to deepen your connection with animals in a meaningful way, while also improving your English through daily conversation and shared routines in a quiet, natural setting.

  Aide

  I'm looking for help caring for my three rescue dogs this summer. I usually work from home full-time, but for 2–3 weeks at the end of July, I will be working in Galway City and away for extended periods—either during the day or from afternoon into the evening. I need someone who can commit to being at the house for at least 4–5 hours a day to take care of feeding, walking, toilet breaks, and general supervision. The dogs are very relaxed and spend much of the day snoozing, so the role doesn’t require constant interaction, and you will still have plenty of free time. On the days I’m not working, you’ll have the opportunity to explore County Galway and beyond.

  We will provide food and groceries for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, this will be in line with the Workawayer’s dietary requirements, where reasonable.

More recently, I welcomed two families through TrustedHousesitters in 2024, both of whom left five-star reviews. I’m an experienced and welcoming host, and my home is fully equipped to comfortably accommodate visitors.
