“Jana came over for a meet and greet as was very attentive to my dogs needs and routine. She house sat for over a week, communicated well, sent lots of pics and updates which made us happy and we were able to enjoy our vacation to full extent. We would definitely use Jana again and recommend her.”
“Slava and Sanjana were fantastic with our 14 week old puppy Luna, who was being left in the care of others for the first time. They were very quick to respond, followed our (very detailed) care instructions, were very prompt with scheduling and messaging, and sent frequent updates while we were away. It is especially helpful that they are a team, as puppies can be a handful! We will definitely be using their services again!”
“This is my 2nd time hiring Laura and I'm so glad I did! I was away from my pets (a senior cat and anxious dog) for 2 weeks. Laura provided excellent care and attention to my pets and I felt very comfortable knowing they were in Laura's hands. Laura made sure they were both happy and safe and that's all I could ask for. She also left the house spotless and even did some extra cleaning. I would recommend Laura to anyone and will hire her again in a heartbeat because my pets love her!”
“Tori was absolutely wonderful. Our dog is very skittish and does not warm up to people easily, but within minutes of meeting Tori, she was affectionate and clearly comfortable. Tori was incredibly responsive, responsible, proactive, attentive, and respectful throughout the entire stay. She kept us updated, took amazing care of our dog, and treated our home with real care. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing both our dog and house were in such capable hands. We cannot recommend Tori highly enough and are already planning to book her again to stay at our house when we travel later this summer.”
“Kristi was the perfect sitter while my wife and I were away for the weekend. She was available on short notice and provided us with plenty of updates and photos of our dogs who were clearly happy to be spending time with her. We felt extremely comfortable leaving our dogs with Kristi and will definitely do so again in the future. Thank you so much Kristi!!!”
“Anne took wonderful care of our two year old doodle Zion for 5 days. She is a great communicator which put us at ease while we vacationed, sending texts and videos to us. She kept Zion busy on walks and playing games with him. We will use Anne in the future!”
“Jordan took care of our 2 cats for a week when we went away on vacation. He was really on top of things, responsible and reliable. He sent us photos daily by text to assure us everything was happening according to plan. He’s really nice too. I highly recommend him!”
About: I have been around various dog and cat breeds my entire life. I am very active comfortable around animals and look forward to meeting your pet! I love animals and especially cats and dogs! I have been around pit bulls, labs, golden doodles, and everything in between! I have lots of patience to work with any animal. I live in a very dog and animal friendly neighborhood and have a completely fenced backyard. Also live near many dog parks and areas for them to run.
“Leilani took took care of our dog and cat while we were away over the weekend. She did a great job caring and connecting with them. We would definitely use her services again!”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, starting with Daisy, a cocker spaniel I got back in second grade. She lived to a happy old age and even had puppies. I kept one, a cockapoo named Lucas, and he’s still with me today along with his sister Bella. They’re almost 13 now, so I know senior dogs well, plus all the energy and walks that younger ones need. Over the years I’ve dog sat and house sat for family and friends, with everything from small dogs to big breeds like a Kangal and a pit/bulldog mix. I’m comfortable with all kinds, though small to medium dogs are my sweet spot. I’m also happy to handle the little stuff, like ear cleaning, that some breeds need. Whether your dog is a puppy, full of energy, or slowing down a bit, they’ll be in calm and caring hands with me. My schedule shifts week to week since I’m balancing work and school, but overall it gives me a lot of flexibility. I’m generally free most mornings and have stretches throughout the day to check in, walk dogs, or spend real time with cats rather than just rushing through visits. For house sitting, I plan my hours around your pet’s routine, not the other way around. I’ve had pets my whole life, so a calm and safe environment is second nature to me. For dogs, that means sticking to their walk and feeding schedule and being attentive during play and downtime. For cats, I’m careful about doors and entry points since I know how easily they can slip out, and I keep an eye on plants or anything toxic that curious pets might chew on. Either way, I follow your home’s rules exactly as you’d want them and pay attention to the small things that help a pet feel safe and comfortable with someone new around.
“Holly exceeded my expectation I had for a pet sitter. She arrived on time, immediately connected with Lily, and took the time to learn all about Lily's routine and preferences. Her questions showed how much she cared about providing the best possible experience for my dog. During her visit, Holly kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me peace of mind. It was obvious that Lily was comfortable, happy, and received excellent care. Holly is professional, dependable, communicative, and genuinely loves animals. She has two dogs of her own. I feel fortunate to have found Holly and will absolutely book her again. I recommend her without reservation to anyone seeking exceptional care for their pet.”
About: I provide calm, loving care and treat every pet like my own. I’m patient and attentive to their routines, comfort, and needs. I’m experienced with both playful young pets and senior pets who need gentle care, medication reminders, and extra attention. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I naturally build pet care into my daily routine. I’m already organized with my time, so I can consistently check in, follow feeding schedules, and provide attention without rushing. On a daily basis, I make time for walks, play, litter box care, and companionship. Weekly, I plan ahead so I can accommodate longer visits, overnights, or extra care when needed. I’m reliable and flexible, so pets get steady, dependable care. I care for your pets in your home by following their normal routine as closely as possible. I make sure they’re fed, have fresh water, get potty breaks, and receive plenty of attention, play, and comfort. I keep their space clean and secure and adjust my care based on each pet’s personality, age, and needs so they feel safe and relaxed while you’re away.
“Gloree was communicative, professional, friendly and personable. She got along great with my dogs which is no small feat because on of our dogs is aloof. She also kept our house clean. We will be using her again!”

I provide a fun and nurturing environment to ensure your dog is comfortable while you are away. I have 8 years of experience volunteering at Animal shelters, and have been trained to deal with all different types of dogs. My own dog recently passed away, so I am devoting all my energy and care to caring for your furry friend. Rest easy knowing your dog will be in great hands and have an amazing time while you are away. Feel free to contact me with any questions you may have. I am currently self employed from home, so your pet will have my full attention and care. Our community is dog friendly with many walking paths and dog bags. My home is open and spacious for any pet, and I will make sure to clear the area prior to their arrival. We also have dog gates and beds here in case your pal needs them.
“Kim is AMAZING! She took excellent care of our Jax. Based on the photos she sent, clearly, he was on vacation for the week too! She was VERY helpful around the house with my plants, taking care of the home, cleaning before we returned, and was very communicative. She was even willing to help with a family emergency while we were away. Jax is a very opinionated Pitbull; he gives her 5 STARS and is asking when she can come back. THANK YOU for everything, Kim!”
“Demi was a great house sitter for my dog Meatball! She was respectful of the house, gave us great updates and showed him a lot of love. We would definitely use her again!”

I just can’t say enough good things about Kristi. She was honestly such a wonderful dog sitter, and I felt completely comfortable having her take care of Rex. From the beginning, she was punctual, reliable, and very attentive. She showed up on time, followed everything I asked, and made sure Rex got the care and attention he needed. She made sure he was walked, fed on schedule, and even paid attention to the little things, like making sure he actually pooped while they were out on their walk. Those little details really matter when you’re trusting someone else with your dog, and it gave me so much peace of mind knowing she was paying attention to everything. What I appreciated most was how much love and attention she gave Rex. It didn’t feel like she was just stopping by to do the basics and leave. She genuinely cared about him and made sure he was happy and comfortable. She also sent me lots of pictures and kept me updated throughout the time she was with him, which I really appreciated. Being able to see Rex and get updates made me feel so much better while I was away. Kristi really went above and beyond, and I could tell Rex was comfortable and happy with her. She is responsible, caring, dependable, and you can genuinely tell that she loves animals. I would absolutely recommend Kristi to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter. I would 100% rebook her again to take care of Rex without hesitation. I’m so glad I found her, and I would definitely trust her with Rex again!

We needed a sitter for our two cats for a one-month trip oversea. We decided to give a try to Rover and found Janet. Janet's profile is a perfect match for us. We did an introduction, found her easy going, kind and loving hence quickly decided to go with her. Janet took good care of our two cats. Our cats (including the shy one) bonded with her quickly. She communicated well and sent periodical updates with pictures/ videos. We were able to enjoy our trip without worrying about the cats. The house was left the way it was when we returned. We had a good first experience with Rover and Janet and will definitely book with her again!
Kristina did an amazing job watching our precious dog Nelson at our wedding reception. She was attentive to his needs and flexible with all the chaos of the event, making sure Nelson was taken care of, walked, and soothed when he needed it. We are so grateful to her!
Pheobe is a gem! She follows directions, left our home clean, and most important loved and cared for our boys. We saw pictures daily of their walks and other activities and were given reports of how things were going. With our boys in Phoebes care we were able to relax and enjoy our time away. Thank you , Phoebe!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Dublin on Rover is $66.08 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 9,661 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Dublin. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Dublin walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Dublin maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Dublin choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
