“Madison was absolutely wonderful! She took the time to come meet my cats a few days before the visit, which gave me the opportunity to walk her through their routine in person. I really appreciated her willingness to do this, as it made me feel much more comfortable leaving them in her care. She was kind, attentive, and easy to communicate with. I would definitely recommend her and would happily book with her again!”
“Ericka was amazing! She arrived as planned, had great communication and took care of all our pup’s needs. She also sent some awesome photos on our Rover Card. I highly recommend Ericka and can’t wait to have her back again.”
“Meghana is a wonderful and attentive cat sitter for my boy Nori. She is quick and responsive! Her notes and pictures from each visit were detailed and I loved seeing the progress of my cat warming up to her. She has an expert understanding of cat body language and was careful not to push boundaries and overstimulate Nori as they learned each other. I am glad they have become friends during my time away. I highly recommend hiring Meghana for your pet sitting needs!”
“Bonnie cared for my cat and my friend’s two dogs. She visited them individually and even had them visit in my home during the week we were away. The many photos she shared were wonderful! I highly recommend her care for your treasured fur babies!!”
About: I grew up on a farm, so I took care of cats, dogs, and various other farm type animals like horses and cows quite frequently. I also have a cat and two dogs back home that I take care of whenever I go back home. I’m currently waiting to hear back from multiple full time jobs, however this can take a while so at the moment I am usually free 24/7 for any pets who need taken care of! If I was to take a dog to my home, I have plenty of space for them to roam around inside as well as plenty of places outdoors to walk, or even go to the dog park if they enjoy going there. My apartment is perfect for a cat as well because there are plenty of windows for sunbathing and comfortable places to take naps, and for more active cats there is plenty of indoor space to play.
“She came to feed the animals so she can get used to feeding them the week we are gone. I had typed her out how to feed them and she did very good, and since it’s the same with them she will get very used to feeding them. Feel relaxed knowing my babies will be taken care of.”
About: I've had dogs my whole life, so being around animals has always come naturally to me. I trained my own dog from 12 weeks old, which taught me a lot about patience, consistency, and understanding each dog's personality. I've also pet sat on and off for several years and genuinely love getting to know every pet I care for. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, or just hanging out on the couch, I'm happy to match their routine and make sure they feel comfortable while you're away. I'll care for them like they're my own and keep you updated with plenty of pictures, so you can relax knowing they're in good hands. Currently working part time so pretty flexible schedule. Each week may be slightly different but I will have at least a few hours every single day, and don’t work any nights. I will come to your home to take care of your pet, and follow all instructions given to your specific pet and will shower them with lots of love!
About: I’ve taken care of friends’ dogs for a while and genuinely love being around pets. Whether your dog needs a walk, some company, or someone to care for them while you’re away, I’ll make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and well looked after. I’m dependable, patient, and always treat every dog with care and attention. I am currently a college student, so I am not available on weekdays, however I am able to provide care for pets on weekends if you are busy or need someone to walk/take care of your dog(s) during that time! I care for pets in their own home so they can stay comfortable in a familiar environment. I’ll follow any instructions you leave for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, or routines, and I’ll make sure your dog gets plenty of attention and care. I’ll treat your pet and your home with respect and make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and well looked after while you’re away.
“Erin was fantastic with our three older dogs during her drop-in visits this week. Taking care of senior pups requires a certain level of attentiveness, and Erin delivered. She was incredibly punctual, showing up right on time for every single visit, which kept our dogs on their necessary routine. Her communication was prompt and detailed, giving us peace of mind while we were away. We would absolutely work with Erin again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring sitter!”
“Rebekah did a great job stopping in to take care of our pup Melvin during the day. She always left a detailed note each day of what they did and even his mood. I loved that she worked on his commands with him each day and sent us a lot of pictures of him. We would definitely use her in the future!”
About: Every pet has their own quirks, and I make sure they feel comfortable and loved while I’m with them! With an active lifestyle, a love for long walks, and a soft spot for cuddles, I’ll make sure your pet feels loved and cared for like my own. I work full time but am available on weekends to help care for your pets when needed! Happy to take on walks or check in however needed! I would offer services to care for your pets at your house and don’t have the ability to sit pets at my home. Thank you so much
About: I am a veterinary student at THE Ohio State University and I am in New York for a veterinary internship. In addition to daily feedings, walking, and maintenance, I am also able to administer medication orally and via injections if needed. I also have pet guinea pigs and can help with small mammals too. My priority is to make your pet as comfortable as they can be while you are away. Available on weekends and evenings with prior arrangements. I am open to communicating with you to fiddle out how to best care for your pet Please leave instructions if applicable—mix water in food, rotate blankets etc—and I will make sure they happen. In your home, I am respectful of your privacy and will leave everything the way I found it. In my daily/per visit updates, I will note any changes in behavior and appetite so you can make decisions on what you want me to do to help your pet feel better.
About: I provide more than just basic pet sitting — I offer attentive, personalized care tailored to each pet’s unique needs and personality. With experience in both puppy training and senior pet care, I understand the extra patience and specialized attention that different life stages require. Whether it's helping a puppy with potty training and basic commands, or ensuring a senior pet gets their medications and gentle movement, I treat every animal like my own. I’m working part time so I have plenty of time to play with puppy’s I will be going back to school soon so I can do anything after 4pm except for Friday's. Whether pets stay in my home or I’m caring for them in theirs, my top priority is making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. In my home I provide a calm, pet-friendly space with plenty of attention, playtime, and rest. I maintain a consistent routine that matches what your pet is used to including feeding schedules, walks, and bedtime habits. In your home when caring for pets in their own environment, I respect your routines and your space. I stick to the schedule your pet knows.
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.
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!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Dublin
I’ve used a total of one sitter so far and Elise was punctual, supportive, and took care of our elderly cat’s needs. When I decided to to book with Elise for my trip, the Rover.Com site pushed me HARD to reach out to multiple sitters at the same time. I thought it was weird for the site to push like that. Luckily I decided to just wait and see if my primary sitter was free before looking elsewhere, and luckily Elise was available and responded as such. If she wasn’t available, then I’d have moved down my list, and it would have been zero fault of those additional sitters if I didn’t book with them. Very Happy to have found Elise.
Erin is a great sitter that takes amazing care of our 2 cats. I appreciate her communication, her attention to detail to their routine and that she was able to continue my cats new medicine. I know my cats are in great hands when she is watching them. Will book with her again!
Emily was absolutely amazing! One of our cats is very shy of strangers, so I wasn't even expecting too many pictures of him, but she built enough trust for him to let her pet him and even pick him up! We're so grateful for the peace of mind her drop ins and pictures provided during our trip.
Amy provides excellent care to our 2 cats. She spends time with them although sometimes they don't show up. She makes sure that they have everything they need. We feel confident that our cats are getting excellent care during our vacation. Amy sends a daily update and any pictures. We will use her again.
We were so very lucky to have Jennifer take care of our baby Tucker. Even though he just turned 12, he is extremely friendly and cuddly, and needs lots of love. Jennifer fit the Bill completely not only did she take such excellent care of his food needs. She also took the time to pet him rub his belly and play with him which was essential, along with being fed. Jennifer also did extra things for us while we were gone, like collect our mail and take care of my plants. which she did not have to do. She kept the litter box extra clean as well.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Dublin is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $14 and $31 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 October 2026, there are 2,633 sitters on Rover offering Pet 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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Dublin. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
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.
