About: I have always been around dogs and am comfortable helping dogs of any age, size, and need. Working as a veterinary assistant and earning a degree in animal science has helped me build a strong connection to caring for dogs. I am very comfortable with pets that need an extra level of medical care. I work full time 4 days a week and have a bit of a long commute (I will likely be out of the house 6:00 AM - 7:30 PM Mondays - Wednesdays and Fridays for work). My weekends tend to be more free, though most days I can provide care in the evenings or very early mornings. I am happy to stay in pets’ homes to provide overnight care and housesitting. I can easily get into the pets’ routines and provide other house care as needed.

About: I’ve had cats and dogs, my entire life, and caring for animals has always been a big part of who I am. I’ve also had the opportunity to work at an Animal Rescue Hospital, where I gained hands-on experience, caring for animals with different personalities, needs, and levels of comfort. I understand that leaving your pets with someone else can be stressful, so my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away I’m patient, attentive, and generally enjoy spending time with animals, whether that means playing, going for walks, giving extra cuddles, or simply keeping them company. I treat every pet as an individual and care for them the way I would want someone to care for my own. You can feel confident, knowing your pets are in caring, responsible hands while you’re away. pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I work Monday through Friday, but I work at an apartment community, which gives me flexibility to take breaks and easily walk home for a quick potty breaks, walks, and check-in during the day. I’m also available 24/7 on weekends, so I have plenty of time to give pets the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. I understand that every pet has their own routine and needs, and I’m happy to work with your pet schedule to help them feel comfortable, happy, and will care for while you’re away. I am happy to care for pets in my home or in your home, depending on what works best for the pet and your family. When caring for a pet in your home, I’d like to keep their normal routine as consistent as possible, including the regular feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. Communication is also important to me, so I am happy to provide regular updates and photos so that you have peace of mind knowing your pet is doing well.

About: I have been privileged to share over three decades of my life in the companionship of dogs and cats. Whether your pet needs walks or playtime while you’re away for the day, or a safe space for overnight care, I would be happy to love and pamper them as if they were my own. I have experience with pets of all ages and am comfortable administering oral and injectable medications, if needed. I also volunteer with NorCal GSP Rescue and have experience with post-surgery care. . I work from home M-F and have flexibility in my schedule. I am open to early morning or late night walks or drop-in visits in the event that you have an atypical work week. I have two pets in my home, a 12 yr old German Shorthaired Pointer (Sophie) and a 7 yr old Sphynx cat (Zelda). Both are friendly with other animals.

“It took me awhile to find the right pet sitter for my two pups who have been spoiled having my husband WFH since Covid started. Alison was the right fit for all of us. When she came over for the "meet and greet" the dogs were comfortable with her and so was I. She really took the time to ask questions about the dogs preferences and understand what we were looking for. She's a great communicator and did well with the dogs. We came home to cheerful dogs and a neat house. I'm happy to give her a 5 star review and hope she will be available when we travel in the future.”

About: As the proud owner of a 4-year-old Belgian Malinois, I’ve developed a deep love and understanding of animal care. He’s my first dog, but my passion for watching over and nurturing animals has been lifelong. I believe exercise is key to a happy, healthy pet. I regularly take my dog on long walks and would ensure the same for your furry friend. Whether it’s playing, petting, or just spending quality time, I genuinely enjoy creating moments that bring joy to animals. Cleanliness and grooming are also priorities for me. I love brushing my dog and ensuring his coat stays healthy while keeping our home fur-free. You can trust that your pet’s hygiene will always be well cared for in my hands. Your pet’s happiness and well-being are my top priorities, and I would treat them as if they were my own. I have a Belgian Malinois which is one of the most active and energetic dog breads. I care for him daily from multiple walks, to feeding, brushing, and playing with him. I prioritize his well-being all while working a full time job. I work from 7 to 5 so we are up and at it by 4 AM. Then I come home to take care of my Maui. For clients, my availability will be from Monday to Sunday. I do not work from home but I work very close to my office so I could drop by in the afternoon to take your fur baby out to pee and stretch. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize their safety, comfort, and routine while respecting your home. Here’s how I approach pet care: 1. Follow Your Instructions I adhere to the feeding schedules, dietary requirements, exercise routines, and any specific instructions you provide. Maintaining consistency is key to keeping pets comfortable and stress-free. 2. Keep Their Routine Pets thrive on routine, so I ensure walks, playtime, and naps happen as expected. I also take the time to engage with them in ways they enjoy, such as games or cuddling. 3. Maintain Hygiene I clean up after the pet, ensuring their spaces (e.g., feeding area, litter box, bedding) are always neat. If they need grooming, like brushing or wiping paws, I handle it with care. 4. Provide Plenty of Exercise and Attention Whether it’s walks, playtime in the yard, or indoor activities, I make sure they get the physical activity and mental stimulation they need to stay happy and healthy. 5. Ensure Safety I keep a close eye on them to prevent accidents, secure any areas they should avoid, and monitor for signs of illness or distress. 6. Respect Your Home I leave your home as I found it, keeping spaces clean and secure. I treat it with the utmost respect, ensuring you feel comfortable and at ease while away. Ultimately, my goal is to provide the love, care, and attention your pet deserves while maintaining the trust and comfort of their home environment.

“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!”

“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.”

About: Lived with dogs my entire life, from chihuahuas to German sheppards. Working part time right now so I am available for long walks and overnight stays. Living next to a park makes this really convenient. Have experience with obedience training of puppies. Very patient with dogs and I love spending time with them. Comfortable with all breeds no matter the size. Very accepting of pit bulls as well and experienced with working with this breed as I owned a pit bull mix for 15 years. Currently have a Husky/ German Sheppard mix living with me. She is good with dogs, so I can only accept dogs who are socialized and comfortable around other animals. Thank you for considering me, please contact me whenever you are in need of pet sitting / walking :) I love animals, I work part time and close to home and love being active. My Dobie and I welcome new friends to join us! I have the ability to crate your dog in my own apartment. However for your peace of mind and animals comfort I can come to you and keep your pet comfortable in their environment while you are away.

We can thank Sarah enough for taking care of our 3 pets! Quin, one of our kitties ran outside at night and wouldn't come back in, which is unusual of her, but Sarah was able to get her back in three morning after. Thanks again Sarah for all that effort!

We were driving from out of state, with our 50 lb Weimaraner, to attend a wedding. Slava and Sanjana saved the day by taking care of Daisy at the hotel we stayed at. Slava was careful to make sure he had all details needed to take care of our special needs dog. We even did a meet and greet on zoom which comforted us. Sanjana’s affection toward dogs was apparent and Daisy had a great time with them. We would highly recommend Slava and Sanjana to care for your pet. Thanks to both of you!

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!

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.

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!

FAQs for House Sitting - Dublin

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Dublin on Rover is $69 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $44 and $111 per night. 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 October 2026, there are 9,467 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.

<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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 .

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 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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.

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.
