About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was a very young girl. I have had two dogs of my own and have watched dogs for friends and families overnight for 8+ years now I have open availability to play and love your pups when you are not home!! I love taking walks and running around and I am looking for a furry friend to keep me company 🐶 I am available to bring pups on walks and get them active and outdoors. I can cater to the energy needs of the breed and ensure they are getting the stimulation they need!
“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.”
“Emily was great! Super communicative and a pleasure to work with as we explained everything we would need for our pup. Would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter!”
About: I’ve taken care of my friend’s pets through out the years. Mostly special needs dogs - following meds/ routine is important. I would want my pet to feel secure and love while I am away.. since anxiety is high when they do not have their humans home. I am currently at a new job where I am in the office 8-5. But I will make sure your fur babies have enough attention when I am with them. I am great at following directions… I also give the same care I give to my pets. If you need me to stomp on the yard to make sure bunnies are not present. I will look like a fool to ensure your pets safety.
About: I have had dogs all my life and now that I'm older I own two myself. I've always had a love for dogs but for me they're more than just man's best friend they're a part of your family and they should be treated as such. Caring for your dog in your home they will be treated just like a part of my family as I treat my own dogs. While working through Rover I also work under another company called Nomad at Home Caretaking where I am able to learn from the owner on how to run my own dog sitting business myself. Caring for animals is my passion and I love what I do. I treat everyone’s pet with the utmost care and comfort while your away so they never feel alone. I cannot wait to hear from you! Hope you have a great day! For walks I am available between the hours of 9 and 5 and after depending on availability. This would also be the same with drop ins. House Sittings I will be gone usually 4 to 6 hours maximum during the week and 3 to 4 during weekends unless otherwise specified. I care for pets as though you never left the home! I do my best to keep all pets on their normal routines and schedules so they feel more at ease while your away. At my home currently I have a large yard with multiple tie outs but they will never be unsupervised outside. Inside I have a good floor place for cuddles and play!
“Qiushi is very kind, reliable, and trustworthy. She goes above and beyond what she “needs” to do. I always get the cutest photos when she’s with our Frenchie and he just adores her. 10/10 recommend!!”
About: I have many years of experience with all types of dogs. From tiny chihuahuas to great danes! I live in a very dog friendly community and I understand puppies and the importance of their training needs. I am willing to exercise/run your dog if you need me to! I am also experienced with deaf dogs. I know it’s a tough time to get your dog outside for a walk and that’s where I come in. I currently am only accepting dog walks but I’m open to boarding if needed, just message me! I have two mixed breed pups named Teddy and Rex. Can’t wait to meet your pup! I take care of my pets 24-7! I know how important they are to a family. I currently only work part time so I have lots of time to spend with your four legged family members if you need me to! We treat our dogs like family and I would do the same for yours. We have a fenced yard that has room to run around. No dogs on the bed but everywhere else is free reign.
About: Hi! My name is Tiana, and I’m 23 years old. I’m currently studying Pre-Veterinary Animal Sciences at The Ohio State University and working toward my bachelor’s degree. I’ve grown up around animals my entire life and have experience caring for all kinds of pets, including dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, fish, and even farm animals! I also have previous experience working in a veterinary clinic, so I’m comfortable administering oral medications and caring for pets who may be older, anxious, or have extra needs. I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets while you’re away. I always do my best to follow each pet’s normal routine, give them plenty of attention, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable in their own home. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away! As of august 25th I will be back fulltime at the ohio state university. I have classes on campus from 8am-3pm. I offer pet care for morning, late afternoon, and evening, only on WEEKDAYS. However on WEEKENDS, HOLIDAYS, and LONG WEEKENDS, I am available for 24/7 care! I will send texts, pictures, and videos of all activities that your pet and I will do. From playing together in your living room to even snagging a pic of potty time, I’ll make sure that you know your pet is being cared for and safe. I will also give daily updates and tell you what we did for that day!
“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: I grew up around dogs, never having lived without one. I love all animals, and firmly believe that no matter what, they all deserve love and care. I currently work part time with a varied schedule, so I will typically have half of any day of the week to provide pet care. Whenever I am unable to directly watch a dog, I will crate them; I am NEVER comfortable leaving a dog roaming free by themselves. I apply toddler logic basically: the worst things always happen when you turn your back on them. However I understand that there can be exceptions, such as a dog or cat that roams freely without any issues whatsoever. I never want to put an animal in a situation where they may cause harm to themselves or others, and I am more than happy to comply with any specific safety standards you have set for your own pet's health and well-being.

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!

“Gina is fantastic. She communicates everything and went above and beyond with our dachshund. It was wonderful to know someone with vet experience was helping to take care of her as she recovers from an injury.”
About: I have been taking care of dogs for a little over a decade for my friends and family. I also worked at a dog daycare while in college, where I played, fed cuddled, loved, did house visits and overall cared for about any dog breed you can think of! On a regular day at the daycare, we would have around 25 different dogs at a time to care for. I also have have my own dog named Harley and he’s the best boy! I currently work full time but will be slowly transitioning into a new phase of life within the next month so I will have a lot of free time. I plan to focus on pet care fully! I will always treat your fur baby like one of my own. They will have my full attention when I am with them and I will make sure their needs are met. I will follow all instructions you have and give them all of the love to make sure they are happy!
“Ellen did an excellent job dropping by to take care of my two kitties. She was very responsive and did everything I asked for them. Would definitely have her cat sit again!”
“Birdie is so kind and professional. She took care of our two cats while we were on vacation abroad for 2 weeks. Our cats loved her which I think says a lot about a person. She sent so many lovely photos of them. It gave us reassurance that they were acting how they normally do!”
About: I have had dogs and cats my entire life, until the recent passing of my family dog. I am a graduate of The Ohio State University with a BS in Animal Sciences. I have worked at the Columbus Zoo, dog boarding facilities, and vet hospitals so I have a pretty good understanding of dog health and behavior. I am pretty low-key, so I try to be as calm and accommodating to all dog personality types. Whether you have a quiet senior or an excitable puppy, I can bend and mold to your doggo's needs!

If you are looking for Housesitting during the weekdays, I am able to take requests on a case-by-case basis. I have a cat of my own at home. Out of respect for both your pet and my own, I typically prefer coming to you and providing care for your pet in the comfort of their own home. Pets stress less when they are able to remain at home in a familiar space. I will treat your home respectfully and

I’m organized, detail-oriented, and someone you can trust to follow instructions, communicate updates, and treat your pets like they’re my own.

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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Dublin is $21 per visit as of November 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.
As of November 2026, there are 2,497 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Dublin. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
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.
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.
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.

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.
