“Maggie is awesome! She kept us updated with pictures and notes every day we were away. Our dog, Lucy, seemed to get along really well with her dog, Willow. It was really sweet to see them play together in videos. I would definitely trust Maggie to take care of our pets again.”
“Danielle was fantastic! We have two pups that have some trust issues, but they quickly warmed up to Danielle. Our pups appreciated her calm and confident attitude. We will definitely rebook!”
About: I worked at a kennel for a year growing up and consistently volunteered at animal friends. In Pittsburgh I had a small pet sitting business within my neighborhood. I have taken care of dogs, cats, reptiles, hedgehogs, guinea pigs and birds. I’m between jobs currently so I have a lot of availible time. Would love to go on some walks during the day or explore some parks. Otherwise just spending time with the pet! I would follow all instructions set by the owner for keeping the pet safe in their home, yard or area. My neighborhood is very walkable and there is green space around if that is an option
About: I've been dog sitting, dog walking and house sitting since I was in High School. Now, as an adult I want to help out more. Pet care fits perfectly within my college schedule. As classes give me a break to be able to help walk, feed or snuggle your pet. I want to be able to help recreate the normal routine your pet has as much as possible. I feel like taking an animal out of their routine sometimes affects them more than we think.
“Jennifer is an incredible sitter - attentive, thoughtful, patient, and truly en enjoys her time with Kirby. I appreciate her nature and feel completely at ease when she is with Kirby, who has a myriad of chronic health issues at 17. Thank you for caring for him (and me!) so well. 💜”
“Anna was beyond amazing! She watched my dog for a week while I was out of town and was very communicative, checking in with me every day and sending photos and videos. I felt so comfortable leaving my dog with her and am so excited to have found Anna so she can help watch my pup again in the future! I can’t recommend her enough!! :)”
“Emma watched Sadie while we were away for a day. She was communicative when needed, did everything we asked of her, and even stayed a little while extra to comfort Sadie when Sadie was afraid of fireworks going off outside. Sadie was cared for and in good spirits when we returned. We would happily book Emma again!”
“I'm extremely pleased with the overall care that Erin provided my two kitties while I was away on vacation. Erin was super communicative throughout her stay and I really appreciated the pictures and updates. She provided medication administration for one of my cats twice a day and followed my instructions for both cats perfectly. She truly allowed me to enjoy my vacation without worrying about anything back home. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for an excellent sitter and look forward to booking her for future stays!”
About: I have been taking care of dogs since was 12! I used to check dogs in the neighborhood! I’ve even stayed at a house for two weeks taking care of two dogs one extremely geriatric. I am good with giving medication to dogs, getting them a daily walk, making sure they have frequent potty breaks, and a whole lot of belly rubs!! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I already care for my own dog every day. I’m used to walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and giving pets lots of attention and affection. I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. In my home or a client’s home, I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding, potty breaks, medication, exercise, and routines. I always prioritize safety, cleanliness, and creating a calm, trustworthy environment where pets can feel relaxed and cared for.
“Amy did an excellent job staying at our home for nine nights to care for our large dog Joey and our cat Quincy. She sent daily updates about each animal and responded quickly to any communication from us. Our animals seemed happy when we returned and our home was neat and clean. We highly recommend Amy!”
“Best experience Jackson has had being taken care of. I came back to a dog who wasn’t stressed out and I knew he was well taken care of. This was my first time having someone house sit (watch my my dog in my apartment) and I appreciate her managing both my initial worry and my dogs. Awesome job. Highly recommend.”
“Taylor was great! I reached out rather last minute, and she responded right away. She sent me tons of photos and helpful updates. I could tell my kitties were well taken care of while I was away ❤️”
“We’re very happy we found Susan! She was great with our dog and it’s clear she loves animals. Susan kept in touch with us throughout our vacation by sending photos and keeping us informed of how our dog was doing. It didn’t take long before we knew our pup was in great hands. We give Susan five stars and will definitely use her services again.”
About: I have been an animal lover and part time caregiver since I was 13 years old. Over time, I have learned the importance of reliability, patience, and consistency when looking after pets. I have extensive firsthand experience of my own caring for a Siberian Husky, Marshal, since he was 3 months old. My time with him has taught me how to manage *extremely* high energy dogs, handle leash training, and provide the physical and mental stimulation certain dogs need. Besides Marshal, I have been a reliable sitter for my neighbors, friends, and family. Usually it’s stopping by for a midday walk, following feeding schedules, or just simply providing playtime and companionship. I love every pet and will treat them as if they were my own. I am comfortable working with any dog breed, any size and any temperament. I pride myself on being great with communication and being dependable, thus owners can have a calm peace of mind whenever they are away My current schedule is very flexible as I am not working full-time. This means that I can provide dedicated and undivided attention to your pets. I am available for house sitting throughout the week and on weekends to ensure your pets maintain their normal routine. I am dedicated to providing a safe, comfortable, and stress-free environment for your pets in the comfort of their own home. I am highly observant, respectful of your space, and diligent about following any specific instructions regarding your pet’s behavior, medications, or house rules. I pride myself on being responsible, trustworthy, and communicative while you are gone.
About: I have been watching dogs since I was a kid. Starting in elementary school I would watch an adult and senior dog, Frankie and Bianca, for my neighbor. What started as just feeding, walks, and playtime grew to include cleaning up after them and handling medications and minor, non-medical, palliative care. As an adult I petsit regularly for friends and family. I love playing with all furry friends to ensure their brains stay stimulated! I love snuggling and giving all the pats and attention to cuddly pets, but am always content to just offer a comforting presence to even the most solitude-seeking animals. A close friend had a horrible experience with boarding her cat once which really motivated me to enter the pet-sitting space. I know how important and deserving of love and respect all animals are, so I can promise I would care for your pets as if they were my own! I am based in Northwest Columbus but work in Gahanna, so depending on where you live I can come by for 2/3 potty breaks for your pet(s)! My weekends are open for animal time as well! If you leave trash bags, broom, dustpan, paper towels/rags, and pet cleaner in an easy to find place I can ensure your home will be found in the same good condition you leave it in! I change diapers at work so I am not easily grossed out. Whether it is scooping poop or cleaning hairballs, I got it covered!
About: Hi there! I’m a dedicated pet lover and pet parent to one Italian Greyhound and a few cats who keep me on my toes—they can be a little needy at times, but I make sure everyone is well cared for and on a good routine. I know how important it is to feel confident your pets are safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or just curling up for some quiet company, I take the time to match their energy and routine so they feel comfortable and at ease. I approach every pet with patience and awareness, paying attention to their personality, comfort level, and needs. Some pets want lots of interaction, others prefer space—and I respect that. My goal is always to create a calm, consistent environment where they can feel secure. I also prioritize communication, so you can expect regular updates and photos while you’re away. I come with trusted references available upon request, and I prefer to meet you and your pets ahead of time to make sure it’s a good fit for everyone. At the end of the day, I want your pets to feel relaxed, cared for, and as close to their normal routine as possible. My day to day full time job is flexible. In most cases I write my own schedule each day. I will have a pretty open and flexible schedule to accommodate pet sitting, pet walking, etc. Always making sure the pet is in a safe surrounding. When let outside if fenced in, walk with the dog still. I also have a pet AirTag I bring with me when pet walking as a backup precaution to help locate the pet quicker in the case of an emergency.
“Kati took such wonderful care of my dog, Benji! From the start, I felt completely at ease, and it was clear that Benji did too. One of the things I appreciated most was Kati’s communication. She sent regular checkins along with the most adorable pictures, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was obvious from the photos that Benji was relaxed, having fun, and getting plenty of love and attention. I’m so grateful for the care Kati provided and would absolutely trust her with Benji again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and attentive dog sitter!”

Jennifer H.did a wonderful job taking care of our cat and our house while we were on vacation, We were gone 11 days. She was very conscientious. She brought our mail in and took our garbage out. She was very caring toward our 11 year old, grumpy cat. Our cat ate well and used his litter box per usual. She gave him the space and distance he needed and made us feel comfortable that he was doing well so we could enjoy our time on vacation.She texted us with daily photos to keep us updated. I appreciated all of these texts. I will use her services again and I can highly recommend her services. Thank you Jennifer for your amazing care.
Wow! Sophie was responsive, responsible, and so so kind. We have a pup who was recently diagnosed with a chronic illness that we are still trying to figure out. Sophie was able to jump right in so we could still go on our long-planned vacation. I was nervous about leaving our pup with another person, but WOW! Sophie kept me updated while still allowing me to have time away. She was absolutely wonderful with our pup. It feels like a relief to know that there are people like Sophie who will love your pup and care for them as much as you do!
Great dog sitters!! I recommend to anyone. Not only did they watch our house and dogs while we were gone for a week on vacation; they last minute watched our 3 dogs when we had a family emergency. It was such a relief knowing they were there. Lots of updates and pictures, and great with communication. Thank you guys so much for everything! :)
Gabby was so great with my girl! I had never used a dog sitter I didn’t previously know before so I was a bit nervous but Gabby was great. She kept me updated with pictures and even let me know when my little girl chewed up something of hers and she called medvet. My girl was fine but I appreciated she took the initiative to call and check and let me know. I’ll be rebooking!
Lauren was SO wonderful!!! I rarely need a dog sitter because I usually have family members in town, so I’m always a little nervous to have a sitter but I didn’t feel nervous or stressed for one second! My dog clearly loved her (I think she secretly likes Lauren better than me???). Lauren sent the perfect amount of pictures that made me know Jelly was safe and cared for and having the time of her life. Thank you Lauren you rule!!
Danielle's first sleepover with Shadow was fantastic! Her communication style and frequency was just what we needed since this was our frist trip away since adopting shadow. She periodically gave us updates/photos of him and is just a blast to talk to in general. So, if you're considering contacting her just do it and stop looking! She's the best! P.s. I've already sent her referral link to my friend because more people need Danielle in their lives! 💖
I'm extremely pleased with the overall care that Erin provided my two kitties while I was away on vacation. Erin was super communicative throughout her stay and I really appreciated the pictures and updates. She provided medication administration for one of my cats twice a day and followed my instructions for both cats perfectly. She truly allowed me to enjoy my vacation without worrying about anything back home. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for an excellent sitter and look forward to booking her for future stays!
Olivia helped us thru a time when one spouse was travelling extensively and the other was working full time and we had a new puppy who was not yet ready to stay alone. She took great care, was always on time, and was a delight to work with. We recommend her to anyone with pet needs and will certainly use her as a sitter in the future.
We are so thankful for how communicative, quick, and incredibly thorough Christine is with our pup Karl!! Her genuine, day-to-day care for him is truly above and beyond. With that said our flight was rerouted while in the air due to weather and Christine was watching the flights and as soon as she saw that she texted me that she was already in route back to our home! I could not have been more panicked due to how late it was and had zero ways to get ahold of anyone to help. When we landed my 1st text was from her saying she was on her back to take care of our Karl and that could not have been more of blessing. The peace of mind she gave us in such a stressful moment, well we are forever grateful! 🙏 we were stuck, exhausted, and she was on it! We cannot recommend Christine enough!!! What she did was so far above and beyond, we will always appreciate her for it! Thank you Christine!!! 🙏❤️🙏
I have a deep admiration for Isabel, appreciative of her nurturing and affection for animals, as well as her understanding and empathy. Upon relocating to Dayton with three of my beloved animals, I was experiencing immense anxiety and frustration due to our recent separation prior to the move. Isabel not only agreed to meet with us multiple times to familiarize herself with the animals before my departure, but also displayed exceptional responsiveness and compassion towards our situation. She diligently followed all provided instructions and consistently kept me informed of their well-being. Isabel's compassionate nature and willingness to accommodate our needs made this transition seamless and stress-free. I wholeheartedly endorse her as a reliable, caring, and devoted companion for your furry family members.

FAQs for House Sitting - Dublin
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Dublin on Rover is $44.4 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 1,530 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.

- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 95% can help with daily exercise
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.
