About: Me and my family have been around dachshunds for over 10 years. A little biased, but would love to share the love to other dogs! I currently work from home and take my dog out regularly throughout the day. She gets breakfast and dinner and her monthly medications. She gets too much attention, but that’s our fault:) I have a back fenced in porch that I have a grassy area for my dog to relieve herself, as well as an unfenced front yard. If the front yard were to be used, we keep our dog on the leash for safety. Our stairs are gated to prevent any injuries.
“I can't recommend Heather enough! She took exceptional care of our dog for the day. He was happy, well-cared for and enjoyed plenty of playtime. We received regular updates and photos. Her professionalism and genuine love of animals shone through. Would book again!”
“Katie is wonderful! She took great care of Lenny and is a pleasure to communicate with. to Looking forward to booking another visit over to play with her 3 adorable rescues.”
“Veronika was so wonderful! After the first day, Tucker was so excited to go back and play. It was comforting to know he wasn't alone and had fun while I was at work. Thank you so much!”
“My pup was well taken care! Mikaila took very good care of my senior guy! She is very responsible and learns in advance all the needs! Will definitely bring my pup again!! Very recommended”

About: I have been neighbor hood babysitter and pet sitter since I was 8 years old. Always be responsible and trustworthy. Treat your property and pets as if they were my own. Animals can't speak for themselves so we must be their voice. I work for myself and have flexible schedule. My business is slow right now an I love animals so it will help me cope an offer best care for those who want the best for their loved pets! Animals are the world to me wish I could have more but I rent. I am allowed to have animals over for few days at a time as long as it's not permanent. Perfect for everyone as your pets will be loved as much if not more then expected. I am a serious animal lover and the care I provide will be noticed. Sometimes people say their dogs not friendly yet ends up loving me regardless of what they say or have experienced with other. Kinda like snow white when it comes to all animals. Recently got 2 rabbits who were dumped and new experience. Amazing to love such small creatures
“We booked a short day-sitting to give us a chance to meet Olive. She did a wonderful job with a slow introduction for my two apprehensive dogs. She has a very nice, clean house, and was very kind and caring towards our boys. I especially like the fact that she only sits for one family's dog(s) at a time. While my larger dog loves playing in group settings with other dogs, my 10 lb younger guy can get very scared. I look forward to booking her services again.”
“Marla took great care of Tank! She knew all the needs of a Frenchy and had fun w him. Sent lots of pictures to us as well to ease any worries we may have had since it was our first time w her. Already booked another day!”

Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later pick-up to match your Dublin commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust pick-up and drop-off times when needed.
Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your workday. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalized environment for your pup.
A typical day can include companionship, one-on-one attention, and same day pick-up and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.
Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:
- For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose "can host" section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
- For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socializing needs.
- For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters "Doesn't own a dog" and "Only accepts one pet at a time" to find the right care.
Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they "Accept multiple clients" or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in PA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for finding sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. With 2,421 sitters in Dublin, 87% respond to messages in under an hour.
You can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care today or tomorrow, you can look for sitters with a "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.
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.
