“Ashlyn is FANTASTIC. I’m so happy we got to work with her and our dogs ADORE her. I love how she was attentive is and adjusted easily for us. I HIGHLY recommend Ashlyn!!”
“Solana did a wonderful job taking care of our dogs! We enjoyed all the pictures while we were gone and she made sure to give our pups lots of attention! We will definitely be using her again in the future.”
About: Hi! My name is Gabi and I’m available for drop-in visits and walks. I love spending time with animals and being outdoors so signing up for Rover was a no-brainer! I have two cats, but unfortunately they hate leashes so I’m really looking forward to taking care of your pups and getting outside! My credentials: My mom founded & directs a local animal rescue that has been operating for over 25 years, so I grew up with a lot of foster animals and am comfortable working with pets that have special needs, diets, or require medication. I also have experience house sitting, which I’m not currently offering, and working at a pet boarding facility over several summers while I was in college. I have open availability and am happy to stop by anytime on weekdays. I’m also available most weekends so please feel free to message me! I will diligently follow any directions and can accommodate special requests when dropping in or walking. Always happy to send plenty of photos and updates too!
“Ryan was thorough, capable of following my directions, and did the job with pride-- I felt incredibly safe with him working with my cats and their needs! He was able to work with changes in directions, had experience giving liquid medications by mouth, and was punctual and timely in his visits. My cats felt calm when he was around, and he had no problem playing with them with extra time he had. I would definitely recommend Ryan and hope he gets plenty of opportunities to continue petsitting in the future, thank you again!”
About: Hello! I’m Lauren and am ready to help take care of your furry friend when you most need it! I grew up with a shih-poo helping take care of him for 16 years! I have pet sat for friends and neighbors before which included regular feeds, walking, and playing with their pets. I am a huge dog lover and am looking to get a dog of my own in the near future (once we have a bigger yard) to give them the best life possible! I appreciate you reading my profile! Right now, I am a teacher on summer break looking to make some extra money while doing something I love! I am very flexible the next two months (pretty much free all weekdays anytime and most weekends). Would love to continue this throughout the year as well. When taking care of your pet it is crucial to know specific likes, dislikes and habits as I want your pet to be most comfortable with myself. A leash while walking is always a must, playing with your pet both indoors and outdoors (weather permitting) is also a must! I will make sure to keep that water bowl full and food fed at correct times.
About: Hi! I’ve taken care of dogs and house sit since 10 years old, and also have experience with horses/fostering animals. I also learned about breed temperaments through 4-H as a teenager ! Hello! How do you care for pets in your home and/or your client's home? This will vary depending on which service you offer. Thank you. Hello!

“Marie did a fantastic job with Snippet and Milky Way. She played with them both every day when visiting, and she was very communicative both before and during her stay.”
“Sydnee was amazing with our two boys!! We received photos everyday and updates to make sure everything was okay. There were lots of play times and she always made sure they had enough food. We felt very comfortable with her in our home and we will be messaging her next time we need someone over :)”
About: I have lifelong experience, caring for dogs and cats, including volunteering at an animal shelter, where I helped with feeding, cleaning, walking dogs, and basic care. I currently care for two cats at home. Pet care is already a part of my daily routine, as I currently care for two cats at home. I handle feeding, litter, box, maintenance, playtime, and general care every day. I work a full-time job from Monday-Friday, so during the week, I can only provide care before and after work. On weekends I can accommodate visits, drop-ins, or overnight care as needed. I care for pets by following the owner's instructions closely and maintaining their normal routine as much as possible. For cats, I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, clean litter boxes, and get attention and playtime based on their comfort level. For dogs, I ensure they are fed, walked as needed, and given exercise and companionship. I prioritize keeping pets safe, comfortable, and stress-free while providing updates to the owner during visits.
“Caitlyn did a great job taking care of my cat while I was away. She was very kind with her, and left detailed updates and pictures each day. I would definitely book her again!”
About: I've been walking dogs for over 8 years now, and honestly, it's become one of my favorite parts of the week! I currently walk for a few regular clients on a weekly basis, and I love getting to know each dog's personality and routine. I grew up with dogs and cats, and I have 2 cats myself, so I've got a soft spot for all kinds of pets! Bouncy puppies who need to burn off some energy, senior dogs who just want a slower and gentler pace, cats who want to play, I am here for it all! I pay attention to what each pet actually needs, whether that's a specific walking route, extra care around leash reactivity, or just keeping things calm and comfortable for a cat while their family's away. I also house sit for 4 different families and their pets, and I'm looking to take on more! Between that and my dog walking clients, I'm used to keeping different routines, feeding schedules, and personalities straight, and making sure every pet feels just as comfortable as they would with their own family home. I also work full-time at Orangetheory Fitness, so I'm active, punctual, and reliable! I show up on time and give your dog every pet my full attention, every single time. My schedule actually works out perfectly for pet care! I coach at Orangetheory from 4am to 10am, so my mornings start early, but that means I've got the whole rest of my day wide open. I walk pets before my shift and swing by again right after, and honestly, I build my whole schedule around whatever your pet needs, not the other way around! The only thing I plan around is making it home to feed my own two cats, but as long as I'm in town and you give me a little heads up, I'm all in, whenever you need me! And since my afternoons and evenings are so open, your pet isn't getting some rushed, in-and-out visit. They're getting real playtime, real love, and someone who's actually excited to be there! Although I don't offer pet sitting in my own home due to my own two boys, I'll gladly watch your pets in their own environment! I like keeping them in their own home to make sure they're still comfortable in their space, and it gives you the peace of mind of knowing they're exactly where you left them! When I'm in your home, I stick closely to whatever routine your pet is used to, feeding times, walk schedules, medications, favorite toys, all of it. I'm not just popping in to check a box, I spend real time with your pet, whether that's playtime, cuddles, or just keeping them company so they don't feel like their world flipped upside down while you're gone. I also treat your home with the same care and respect I'd want for my own, keeping things tidy and secure the whole time I'm there. And no matter what, you'll always get updates and photos while you're away, so you can see firsthand that your pet (and home) are in great hands!
“Danielle was so amazing with our Pittbull babies. They are high energy and she matched them perfectly. She was punctual, gave us detailed updates and lots of pictures. Will definitely be using her again.”
About: I’ve had animals my whole life, and I currently take care of my senior Maltipoo. I’ve been dog-sitting and taking care of other people’s pets since I was a teenager. I currently only work a few days a week, so I have plenty of time to spend with your pet! Any stop in or walk will be treated as if they were my own pet. I truly just love animals, especially dogs, and I love getting to know their different personalities. Exercise and play time are so important for dogs, and I’m happy to help out with that!!
About: I am a dog mom to 2 of my own dogs! I enjoy walking and playing with dogs. I will provide personal care for your pets. I am available for walks and check in visits afternoons/evenings through the week and open availability on the weekends. I do hold a full time job during the day Monday-Friday. I only care for pets in the clients homes! I make sure to check all doors and gates before and after walks to make sure everything is closed and locked.
About: Hi! My name is Thalia, and I have 6 years of pet caretaking, grooming, and house sitting experience under my belt. I am a beginner trainer and groomer for all animals. I’m excited to work with you and to maintain your home or pets health, safety, and happiness. My schedule changes from week to week but I’m currently able to be there for 99% of your pets day to walk, feed, groom, or administer their medication. I always like to ensure your pets safety by sticking by them for most of the day even if they go outside for potty breaks. Staying close to your pet allows me to ensure their absolute safety during pet sitting. I also check for ticks, fleas, or such bugs after every trip outside. All entrances to the home will be locked when both I and your pet are indoors for maximum security. And frequent checks of the pets whereabouts and/or household appliances to make sure they aren’t getting turned and cabinets so that your pets can be safe from any possible danger for your extended peace of mind.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Dublin
Bonnie was very attentive to Jack. He takes a while to warm up but she spent the time to get to know him and he had a great week. She was consistent with her updates & photo reports allowing us to know he was being well taken care of. Thank you so much Bonnie for allowing us to enjoy our time away! And I know Jack appreciated all the love too😀.
Ashley was fantastic with our three older dogs over the long weekend! Taking care of senior pups can be a lot to manage, but she handled everything with incredible patience and professionalism. Her communication was great, and we returned home to happy, well-cared-for dogs. We’re so grateful to have found such a reliable, compassionate sitter and would definitely book Ashley again!
Laci is an awesome sitter! She was super attentive to my dogs need and made me feel at ease knowing that my fur baby was in the best hands. It’s very clear that she takes her job very seriously and I truly appreciate how much she communicates and followed our regular routine and training schedule.

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Dublin is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $13 and $33 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.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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!
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 .
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.
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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

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.
