“Kim is awesome! Great availability, communication, and wonderful with our dog. This is her fourth time dog sitting for us and I will definitely book her again. Thanks Kim!”
“The dogs love Alexandra, they are always happy and healthy when we get home. Also somehow our house smelled amazing when we got home, that never happens we have huge boy dogs. No idea how she did that!!!”
“All instructions were followed. I tried not to ask to much, just wanted them let out and food put down. When we spoke, Zehavit seemed very caring and conscientious, she was all of the above. I will use her on a regular basis.”
“Evelina was punctual and she communicated with me regularly and sent me pictures of each visit. It is so nice to feel so secure about the person taking care of your little loved one while you are away so that you can just enjoy.”
About: I’ve been a dog lover my entire life! I had a Black Lab for 14 years, and my love for animals has also led me to volunteer with the SPCA and other dog shelters. I’m passionate about providing dogs with the same love, attention, and care I gave my own. I’d love the opportunity to care for your furry family member! I’m available to care for your furry friend on weekends and after 4–5 PM on weekdays. I can easily incorporate pet care into my routine and am happy to provide walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of love and attention! I am happy to care for your furry friend in the comfort of their own home! I will follow your pet’s usual routine, provide plenty of love and attention, and ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.
About: I've been around dogs my entire life - from high-maintenance Yorkies to big-hearted Rottweilers, so you could say I don't get thrown off too easily. Puppies, seniors, rescues, anxious or reactive pups - I've probably seen it, or something close to it. What makes me different is how seriously I take your pet's comfort and emotional well-being. I pay attention to their behavior, adjust my energy to meet theirs, and treat them the way I'd want someone to treat my own - with consistency, patience, and a little extra love. Whether it's following a strict routine or adapting to a new one, I bring calm, experience, and a real love for animals. Pet care is a natural part of my life. Right now I'm in between roles so have a ton of bandwidth and flexibility. I have two dogs of my own and start every day with a walk and time outside. I'll always make time for your pet the same way I do for mine - no matter what is going on. Whether it's early mornings, midday check-ins, or evening walks, this is something I want to be doing and will always prioritize. I treat your space and your pet with the same respect I'd expect if roles were reversed. I follow care instructions to a T - feeding, meds, routines, energy levels, everything - and I'm always checking in to make sure your dog feels safe and secure. We don't cut corners here. If I'm walking them, there's no phones and I'm present. If I'm staying in your home, I'll leave it as clean (or cleaner) than I found it. And if you need someone to just stop in and show your pup some love while you're away, I'm your person.
About: I'm new to the area and have sat for many clients outside this app. I’ve been a dog mom to many pups and sat for many more. Currently, it’s just me and my best bud, Atlas. In my work life, I am in the wine industry and spending some time researching opening my own business. I am always doing things outside and love to take animals on all my adventures! We will go hiking, swimming, to dog parks, for special treats and long walks! I have complete confidence in my skill set of being able to care for your pets because I have been pet sitting since I was a young teenager. Cats, dogs, rabbits, horses, you name it! I am always available and will constantly send updates of your pets and their adventures! I’m fully available right now, as I’ve been taking time off to focus on opening my own business. That being said, I’m fully focused on spending time with your pets when I’m with them! I have an apartment in brooklyn and Atlas (and Sophie the cat) will keep your pet company in my home. At yours, I will accommodate how you see fit to be able to keep your pet at ease whenever you are away.
“Hailey was awesome with our shy dog and very-not-shy cat. Our pup has separation anxiety so it was really nice to be able to leave the house without worrying. Hailey was very communicative and we'd absolutely book with her again.”
“Nick was a great pet sitter. We used her services for drop-in visits to walk and feed our high-energy mini golden doodle. Nick has animals of her own and was not fazed by our dog’s energetic antics. I appreciated her communication efforts and received multiple photos and videos to assure me our dog was doing well. I would highly recommend her services to any other pet owners looking for someone reliable who truly loves animals.”
About: I lived with and took care of two dogs for two years with a partner. Both were Bernedoodles; one was an adult and the other was a 9-weeks old puppy when we first got him. In addition, I have fostered a kitten with my sister for 4 months. Some traits I have that make me suitable for pet care are that I am reliable, punctual, and can follow instructions well. I am an orchestral violinist and Oxford academic, so my schedule is flexible and varies week to week. I am typically available for dog walking in the mornings and afternoons, 7 days a week. I offer dog walking services where I travel to the dog's home and walk the dog in their neighborhood, respecting the dog's autonomy by letting them lead the way and choose the route, within safe boundaries.
About: I am an animal lover, who treats every pet like family. Whether your dog loves long walks, or your cat, just wants quiet cuddles, I adapt to their unique needs and personalities. I’m dependable, communicative and happy to provide updates. Photos in peace of mind while you’re away I’m here to make sure your pets feel safe happy and loved always. I’m currently a college student home for the summer working part time and I’m free most days to either walk your pet or stay with them overnight. Whether i’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I treat them like family- safe, loved and well cared for. I always follow their routine closely and make sure they feel comfortable happy and stress-free.
About: I've always cared for animals, and I'm willing to go above and beyond for animals who need help. Owners need help as much as their animals do! I'm currently out of work, so willing to do anything for animals to make ends meet. If I can help every animal and owner, I will. Inside other's homes I will do everything in my power to keep it as it was when I first enter. There is nothing to deter me from maintaining proper care.
About: I've been taking care of my own pets for the past 6 years, and through thick and thin I have stuck by their side and given them all the care in the world that they need. I fully understand how important our fluffy friends are to us, and to me, mine are like my family. I always go above and beyond to make sure every animal I interact with feels safe with me and secure in their environment! Every day at 5:30PM I make sure to give my cat, Tibs, her blood pressure medication. I practice being very on-schedule with taking care of her and making sure she gets her breakfast, medications and dinner on-time and the best amount for her health. At times, she over-eats so I am careful to feed her in intervals that will work best for her stomach. I am very good at keeping an eye on her health and our schedules together. I always make sure to make sure every furry friend I interact with feels safe and secure in their environment, as I understand myself how important it is to have your home be a safe space.
“Jason is a great companion for Dash when we are away. Really appreciate the daily communication, videos and pictures. It’s fun to see how much Dash loves the visits.”
“I've met Kat twice so far for my dog (and me) to get to know her, she's very reassuring and I feel comfortable having her stay here when I go on vacation. I cant wait to finally get to go on vacation!!! ☺”
About: I grew up in a house that always was rescuing animals. We currently have 5 dogs and two turtles. I am fully educated on dogs of all ages. I have house sat for my friends who own two dogs and two cats. I currently have two dogs of my own, one large (boxer) and one small (french bulldog). I work monday through friday 7am-3:30pm. I can walk/sit/take care of any time after that. Weekends are more open to the entire day if needed. We have a fenced in yard but I take my dogs on walks often to get them a feel for a different environment. I restock their food and water when necessary and clean up after any messes.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Dublin is $22 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $22 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 8,773 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.
To find sitters in Dublin with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

- 87% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 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.
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.
