About dog boarding in Galway

Galway is one of Ireland's most dog-friendly cities, with open coastal and woodland walks right on the doorstep. The Salthill Promenade stretches over two kilometres along Galway Bay, offering bracing Atlantic views and plenty of space for dogs to trot alongside their owners. Terryland Forest Park, tucked behind the retail area, is a hidden gem of native woodland trails and riverside paths. South Park near the Claddagh provides a grassy escape close to the city centre, ideal for a quick lunchtime walk.

The City of Tribes is known for its artistic, laid-back character, and pets are very much part of the scene. In Salthill, dogs are welcome outside many of the cafes and restaurants along the prom. The Claddagh and the Long Walk areas have a bohemian charm, with locals regularly gathering for community dog walks. Knocknacarra and Rahoon, on the western fringe, are family-oriented neighbourhoods with wide green spaces and quiet cul-de-sacs perfect for pets. Renmore and Doughiska offer a more suburban feel with excellent access to Merlin Park Woods.

Petme helps Galway pet owners connect with passionate, verified sitters who know the city inside out. Every booking includes €20,000 vet protection, whether your pet is enjoying a seaside walk in Salthill or resting at a sitter's home in Mervue. From short dog walks to week-long boarding, Petme offers flexible, trustworthy pet care across every corner of Galway.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How much does dog boarding cost in Galway?

Home dog boarding in Galway typically runs €28–€50 per night, depending on the size of your dog, number of dogs, and the time of year. August bank holiday weekend and the Christmas window tend to sit at the top of that range.

Is this a kennel?

No. Every Petme boarder is a real home. Sitters host a small number of dogs at a time, your dog sleeps inside the home, and most sitters let dogs on the sofa if that is what they are used to.

Can I do a meet and greet first?

Yes. Most Irish owners arrange a free meet and greet through the Petme chat before the first stay. You drop in, your dog meets the sitter, and you confirm everything in person.

Are dog boarders in Galway verified?

Yes. Every sitter passes identity and background checks. Each booking includes up to €20,000 in vet protection at no extra cost.

What if my dog needs medication during a stay?

Many Petme boarders give pills, drops, or insulin on schedule. Mention any medical routine in the booking request and the sitter confirms before accepting.

Is there a service fee for pet owners?

No. Petme charges pet owners 0% service fee. You only pay the sitter's rate, and you earn automatic cashback on every completed stay.
