About: I’ve cared for dogs for friends and neighbors, including a high-anxiety dog that required patience and consistency. I’m currently dog sitting for a client I’ve worked with since November, providing dependable care, walks, feeding, and companionship. I focus on building trust, following routines, and making dogs feel safe and comfortable. Pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine. As a nursing student, I'm already used to staying organized and keeping a consistent schedule. I plan my days so pets get proper walks, meals, playtime, and attention. I make sure not to rush the visit. I like sticking to each pet's normal routine as closely as possible, whether that's morning walks, feeding times, medication, or just quiet company. I also make sure your home stays clean and respected while you're away. Caring for pets is something I genuinely enjoy, and I always make time to give them the attention they deserve. I care for pets with patience, attention, and respect for their routine. In your home, I make sure pets feel comfortable and safe following their normal feeding, walking, and play schedules, giving lots of attention, and monitoring their behavior for any changes. I also respect your space, keeping it clean and secure while you're away. In my home, pets are treated like family. I provide safe, calm environments with plenty of play, cuddles, and care, and I follow any instructions you provide to make the transition as smooth as possible. I've cared for dogs and cats of all ages, including seniors, anxious pets, and even baby kittens, so I adjust my approach to fit each pet's needs.
About: I’ve taken care of many of my neighbors’ pets (mostly dogs and the occasional chicken). In recent years I’ve pet sat for my sister’s dogs, one of which is a rescue with separation anxiety. My schedule is very flexible as I’m available most days of the week, including weekends. I’m happy to accommodate to any time of the day! I have a large fenced in yard so there’s plenty of space to play but I’m also perfectly fine taking any pets on walks as well. I have one dog and she loves to play with other dogs! My dog is crate trained and she has to get permission before going on carpet or furniture. She mostly likes laying on the couch/bed and some nights she will sleep in the bed with me. I’m happy to follow whatever rules your pet has at home!
About: I've always loved animals. I've raised everything from dogs to cats to rabbits to birds. For the most part, I love spending just as much time with animals as I do with people! I pretty much have an open schedule and would love to spend time with your fur babies. I'm available 24/7 to help when you need me. I have a fenced in your to keep your babies safe and can crate them whenever necessary. I prefer to let them run free though. I am a Realtor with Keller Williams Cityside, so my schedule is pretty flexible. I'm usually available anytime I'm needed. This includes on short notice, nights and weekends. I have a fenced yard, but can crate your pets if needed. However, as long as they are comfortable, I prefer to let them run free in the house and/or yard.
About: I love all animals not just dogs and cat! I’ve had many pets over the years and have great experience with handling and caring for them!! I only work on the weekends, therefore I would have plenty of time to care for your precious pets during the week! I am able to provide many services when needed I currently have 3 outdoor cats, they come inside occasionally but I prefer for them to roam freely. When they do come inside they cuddle up next to me while I play fortnite
About: I’ve been caring for pets professionally and personally for several years, and it’s truly something I’m passionate about. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments, from energetic puppies to mellow seniors and I always take the time to get to know each pet’s unique personality. Pet care fits into my daily and weekly routine as a structured, essential part of the day just like eating or working. • Morning: Feed pets, refresh water, take dogs for a walk or clean litter boxes. • Midday: Walks, playtime, or drop-in visits if providing services to clients. • Evening: Dinner, another walk or potty break, brushing or light grooming. • Safe environment: Pet-proofed spaces, separate areas if needed for different pets. • Feeding on schedule: Following owner instructions exactly, including dietary restrictions. • Exercise/playtime: Supervised yard play, walks. • Comfort & rest: Cozy resting areas, routines that mimic their home life to reduce stress. • Updates to owners: Daily photos or messages to reassure and stay transparent.
About: I've worked a family farm since I was 8 years old. I have experience with all sorts of critters. Oh and I ain't scared of spiders or snakes if that suits your fancy! Im currently between jobs and hoping to get a part time so I can still do this. But I have a lot of time on my hands so I'd love to spend it pet sitting little fluff balls. I appreciate the trust to allow me to take care of your babies. Let alone let me in your house! Again thank you so much for the opportunity.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Dublin on Rover is $31.64 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 23 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
