“I can’t thank Abi enough for how well she cared for my cat, Tiger, while I was away. From the very first visit, she was calm, kind, and incredibly observant. Tiger can be a little picky with new people, but she earned his trust quickly and made him feel comfortable. What really stood out was how attentive she was — she noticed Tiger grooming himself more than usual and realized he had fleas, which I would have completely missed. She didn’t just tell me; she helped treat him, cleaned the area, and kept me updated with pictures and videos the whole time. Even after getting bitten herself, she still made sure Tiger was okay before anything else. That kind of care and dedication is rare. Abi truly went above and beyond, and I’m so grateful she was there for Tiger. I’d recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who genuinely cares and treats your pet like her own. Tiger and I are both big fans of Abi! 😄”

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and my love for them goes far beyond simply caring for them. I genuinely believe animals are an extension of ourselves, each with their own little personalities, emotions, and ways of communicating. I’ve had cats since I was in 3rd grade and currently have four of my own, so I’ve spent many years learning their needs, behaviors, routines, and the importance of giving them consistent love and attention. I’ve also had the opportunity to care for neighbors’ pets, along with gaining hands-on animal experience working in the animal section at the Alameda County Fair. There, I handled and cared for rabbits and helped visitors safely interact with them. Being around different animals has only grown my appreciation and connection with them. I’m naturally very patient, gentle, and intuitive with animals. I love taking the time to understand each pet’s personality, picking up on their body language, and making sure they feel comfortable and secure. Whether they’re energetic and playful, shy and timid, or need a little extra affection, I always want them to feel understood and cared for. I have a soft spot for absolutely all animals, regardless of their age, size, or species. Cats, dogs, rabbits, reptiles, you name it! I honestly love spoiling animals, spending time with them, and treating them like the little family members they are. I don’t believe pet care should ever feel rushed or impersonal. Every animal deserves genuine attention, patience, and affection, and that’s exactly what I strive to give. My goal is for every pet to feel at home with me and for their parents to have complete peace of mind knowing they’re in loving hands. I have a very flexible schedule and am available throughout the week, including weekdays and weekends. I currently have plenty of time to dedicate to pet care, so I’m happy to accommodate different routines, schedules, and last-minute needs whenever possible. I love being able to give pets my full attention, whether that means morning visits, afternoon walks, evening check-ins, or overnight stays. You and your pet’s routine and comfort always come first! My goal is to make every pet feel like they’re in a second home, surrounded by love, comfort, and attention. I have a fully fenced and gated backyard for supervised outdoor time, food and water bowls, crates, two litter boxes, and a cat harness and leash if needed. There are no pet doors installed so they can’t sneak out the house, and doors will be closed at all times to prevent accidental escapes. Most of my home is carpeted with some tiles, and pets are welcome on the couches and beds if their owners permit it. I currently have four cats of my own, who are indoor-outdoor cats, but I can absolutely keep visiting pets separated in my own room or another designated space whenever needed. I take introductions and boundaries seriously and will never force animals to interact. Their safety and comfort always come first. I’m happy to accommodate each pet’s individual preferences, whether that means feeding them in a specific location, following their usual meal schedule, administering medication according to their owner’s instructions, or giving them their favorite kind of playtime and affection. I keep a clean environment and make sure every animal is supervised and checked on consistently, even when they’re resting in separate rooms. Communication is something I take very seriously, too. I love sending frequent pictures, videos, and updates throughout the day so owners never feel out of the loop. If you’d like, I can even keep a detailed activity log of your pet’s day, including feeding times, bathroom breaks, walks, playtime, medication, and anything else worth noting. I want you to feel just as comfortable leaving your pet with me as your pet feels staying here. I treat every animal like my own and genuinely enjoy giving them all the extra love, patience, and attention they deserve. Your babies are never just another booking to me. They’re family while they’re in my care.

About: Dogs and cats have been part of my life for as long as I can remember, including pets of my own. These days, I love caring for other people’s furry family members. The wagging tails, happy purrs, and little moments when a shy pet starts to trust you never get old. Tell me what makes your pet happy! Do they have a favorite walking route, a go-to toy, or a funny little mealtime routine? I’d love to hear about their quirks. Whether they’re always ready to play or prefer a little personal space, I’ll take the time to get to know them. I offer dog walks and drop-in visits for dogs and cats of different ages, personalities, and energy levels. From curious puppies and playful kittens to seniors who enjoy a gentler pace, I’ll tailor my care to their needs with plenty of patience and attention along the way. I’ll keep your pet’s routine on track, take care of meals and fresh water, and handle litter box duties for cats. I’ll follow your instructions, respect your home, and watch for changes in your pet’s behavior. You’ll also get photos and updates so you can see how your furry friend is doing. As a pet owner, I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. I want your pet to feel comfortable at home. I want you to feel at ease while you’re away. And yes, I will absolutely talk to your pets like we’re having a full conversation. Whether they respond is entirely up to them. I’d love to meet your furry family member! 🐾💕 Have a busy workday, weekend trip, or vacation coming up? I’d love to help keep your pet happy and their routine on track while you’re away! My flexible schedule lets me do morning walks, midday potty breaks, mealtime visits, or evening check-ins. Let me know what your pet’s day usually looks like. We’ll find a plan that works. I’ll confirm the details before booking, arrive on time, and keep you updated if anything changes. I know how much trust it takes to welcome someone into your home to care for your pet. As a pet parent myself, I know how reassuring it is to find someone dependable, attentive, and easy to reach. Tell me all the little details, even the ones you think might sound silly! Does your dog like dinner served a certain way? Does your cat have a favorite hiding spot? Knowing their habits helps me keep them comfortable and stick to the routine they know. I’ll follow your care instructions, treat your home with respect, and double-check doors and gates to help keep your pet safe. You’ll also get photos and messages so you know how each visit is going. On dog walks, I’ll use a secure leash, watch your pup’s body language, and stay alert to traffic and other animals. With cats, I’ll let them set the pace. Whether they greet me at the door or need a little time and space, I’ll respect what makes them comfortable. Your pet’s safety and comfort come first. If you want an update or have a question, feel free to check in anytime.

“Dakota was great and really easy to work with. He took care of our cat, Uni, while we were on an overseas trip for ~2 weeks. Very attentive and regularly shared updates and pictures throughout the trip, which really assured us that our orange boy was doing great while we're away. It is clear that he's good with pets since our cat, who is usually pretty skittish around strangers, warmed up to him really quickly. About to book him again for our second trip in 2 months :D Highly recommend him for anyone looking for drop in visits for their kitties.”

About: I grew up with many different types of pets. Currently, my family has a cat (at their home) and I have a dog at my house so I have experience with different personalities and needs. I do work full time, so I am mostly available on weekends and evenings only. But I typically walk my dog 3 times a day and can do the same for another dog in my care. I do have a dog-friendly dog at home so I have toys and treats available (only if I get the OK to feed). I also am active and like to be outdoors so walks will be plenty.

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with over 15 years of dog walking and sitting experience. I’ve worked for a professional dog-walking company, leading both neighborhood walks and adventurous hikes. I’ve also cared for my own dog with epilepsy, giving medication three times a day and providing gentle, patient care. We’re a warm, loving little family who adore all kinds of animals. I live with my husband and our 4-year-old son, who was born into a home with a cat and dog and has grown up loving animals and nature. At home, we don’t currently have a dog or cat, just fishes and a frog 🐠🐸. After losing our beloved dog, we haven’t been ready to adopt another one, which means your pup will get all the love and attention they deserve while staying with us! I can care for your dog at your home or mine, in any weather, for walks, hikes, playtime, or full-time sitting. I can also provide care for cats while you’re away. Your furry friends will be treated with love, patience, and plenty of attention — maybe even spoiled just a little. 😉 I work from home, which allows me to have a flexible schedule and spend plenty of quality time caring for your furry friend. I’m also flexible on weekends and can easily accommodate walks, playtime, and drop-in visits. Your furry baby will always receive plenty of attention, love, and care. I completely understand how it feels to miss your little one when you’re away — I’ve been there too. That’s why I’ll keep you updated with frequent photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.

“I met Surjit in the Peace Corps and since day one she’s shown a tremendous quality of being a dependable friend. She’s charismatic, she’s thoughtful, and she’s an extremely loving caretaker. When my dog Darwin first met her, his eyes lit up and his pupils went wide with love for her as they continue to do so every time they get together and forget I’m even there. She’s one of the very few people who I trust enough to take care of Darwin and they continue to bond in a way I don’t really see with other people since, even though my dog is very cute, I think he knows it and can be a bit antisocial and aloof. But Surjit sees him and fully accepts him for who he is, as I see her do with all pets in her life. I happily endorse Surjit because I know that she does not just see your pet as a dog or a cat, she sees them as individuals with their own personalities, fears, habits, wants, and needs. I happily endorse Surjit because I know that she will, without a doubt, go above and beyond and take care of your pet like she takes care of her own family and friends.”

About: I have years of experience with cats with owning 3 growing up. I am a vet assistant who LOVES pets 😇 I am very attentive to pet care, and will always make your pet feel happy, comfortable, and safe. I am a full time student at Las Positas (last semester 😃) who goes to class Monday and Wednesday. I work Thursday- Sunday locally in Danville, and since Tuesday is my only day off I spend it at the East Bay SPCA. I truly love pets and will always find a way to include them in my daily life. My schedule can seem intimidating, but this busy crazy schedule somehow finds me with so much 😇 When I visit a pet in someone’s home I make sure the pet knows this is their space and I am just a friend there to provide love and food. While being at your home I leave no trace of me even being there! Seriously I will leave your house clean, and respect as my own. Your pet is my priority and I’ll make sure to keep you updated throughout our time together.

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals since I was a child and the love never ceased. I’ve cared for both dogs and cats. I have extensive experience caring for senior pets who might need a bit more attention. I am currently home from UCSC this summer so have very open availability for providing services. Additionally, I have my own vehicle so there are no time constraints in scheduling. I will be able to crate your pets if needed, but if they prefer a cuddle I will happily oblige! Have a pet with lots of energy? We can do long walls or monitored off leash play if that’s what they are used to !

Logan was an excellent cat sitter for our 2 young cats, dropping in to take care of them for a week+ trip. He is trustworthy and responsible; his genuine love for cats means he will really care for them and he was respectful of the house, keeping it neat and as-is. He went above and beyond for our cats, providing them with extra affection and playtime rather than just dropping in to scoop litter and check on food/water. We were also given lots of photos and notes about how they were doing, it was as stress-free as a trip away from pets could be!

Anna went above and beyond caring for all four of our babies, and we couldn’t be more grateful. She is warm, attentive, and genuinely dedicated to the animals in her care. What really stood out was her flexibility — when I reached out outside of our scheduled appointment times needing help with my cats, she didn’t hesitate and accommodated us without missing a beat. That kind of responsiveness and reliability is rare and means the world to a pet parent. Anna took the time to understand all of our specific care needs and handled everything with such grace and professionalism. We felt completely at ease knowing our fur babies were in her hands. Highly recommend Anna to anyone looking for a caring and dependable pet sitter!

Sierra watched our 3 cats for two weeks, she is the best and it was such a relief while we were gone to have somebody we trusted watching and taking care of our cats. Sierra is friendly, professional, flexible, and was the best with our cats. Throughout the entire process, Sierra responded quickly to all of our messages and questions. For each visit we received great updates, and pictures of our cats. It was a relief to know that our cats were being taken care of by somebody who truly cared, and someone that we could trust! Our situation with our 3 cats was a lot of work with all the maintenance of the food, water and liter, along with our cat that has FIV and was injured and needed extra care and monitoring. On top of that, there were some last minute changes with our setup that Sierra handled easily too. We would absolutely book Sierra again, and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and attentive cat sitter!

We booked a sitter through Rover for the first time for a long time period and were a little nervous about leaving Missy alone, but Xiaoyu was absolutely wonderful. From the very beginning, she made sure Missy felt comfortable, loved, and well cared for. Xiaoyu followed all the instructions we discussed and truly went above and beyond to make sure Missy didn’t miss us. After just a few visits, it was clear that Missy looked forward to seeing her, which gave us so much peace of mind. I would highly recommend Xiaoyu to anyone looking for a dedicated, trustworthy, and caring sitter—and a true friend—for their fur baby. 🐾💛

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Dublin

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Dublin is $28 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $21 and $43 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of November 2026, there are 2,284 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Dublin. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Dublin. On Rover:

  • 80% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 85% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 87% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
