“Robert is an absolute lifesaver! He made my girls and me feel so relaxed and comfortable for our first time having a dog sitter. He kept us updated every day, and even though my girls have some anxiety issues, he handled everything so smoothly. Thanks again Rob and Rover!!!”
“Devyn was over and beyond with my dog Teddy! She was prompt, answered my texts in a timely manner and most of all was so kind to Teddy!! Devyn left my home better than I left it! When I got home Teddy was content, happy to see me but not stressed at all. We are so grateful to find Devyn as a pet sitter💖”
“Kaitlyn did an excellent job watching our dog Lula! She was a great communicator, prompt and let me know what to expect each step of the way as this was my first time using Rover. Our communications were easy, she sent pics and was very professional. Our house was left spotless and our puppy was happy! Would definitely love to use her again when we travel!”
“Sierra was wonderful with both of our dogs and staying at our house to make sure the dogs were well cared for. She even helped us out preparing our house for an open house the weekend she was here and taking both dogs out for the couple hours the house was showing . Thank you so much Sierra for all of your help.”
“Brian was great! Not only did Oskar get loads of attention and play time, Brian kept me in the loop with photos and texts while I was out of the country--which made vacation much more relaxing. :) Oskar is a big boy with anxiety and OCD issues and Brian took him and his "special needs" totally in stride! I could literally tell when I got back that Oskar had played a ton and was contentedly very tired.It was also wonderful to return to a clean home! Five stars for sure!”
“Wydia loved on our older chihuahuas in our home, and she had so much patience with our little Hershey. His temperament can be hard to handle due to his past treatment as a puppy, but she won him over. She treated our home with respect as well. She also sent daily pictures which was crucial in making us feel at ease. Couldn’t recommend her enough!”
“Simone has been great with my senior dog! She house sat and watched her at my apartment almost every day for a week and I felt like I left my girl in great hands. She sends lots of updates and photos throughout the day which was SUPER appreciated! Definitely recommend!”
“Claire did a great job staying with my small dog in my home for 3 nights. My dog was a bit sad and reluctant to eat while I was gone, but Claire helped her through with lots of love.”
About: I have grown up around dogs my entire life! Right now, I have a two-year-old puppy named Winston. If you ask any of my friends, they'll tell you that I'm the first person to stop and pet any dog! I love all dogs and get so much joy out of spending time with and taking care of them. Don't worry - Winston doesn't live with me so your dog will be the center of attention! I typically work Monday-Friday, 8am-4:30pm but my schedule can be flexible so please reach out ! Allentown, Quakertown, or anywhere in between would be most convenient :) but just let me know what you and your dog’s needs are and I’ll always do my best to accommodate/communicate with you. The care I give depends on you! I’ll make sure your dog gets everything they need and provide lots of playtime and pets too. Tell me everything about them (when and what they eat, how often to let them out and/or go on walks, their personality, etc.) I've worked with dogs of all ages too; for puppies, I have lots of experience with both crate and potty training.

I have gone abroad and work with a multitude of vets to gain more animal experience. I am also a hard worker I have been working since I was 14 as an amusement park as an animal caretaker while taking side jobs dog sitting. Your animals will be in great hands with me I will make sure they are well taken care of. I am a college student, so I have a pretty flexible schedule. Between just letting out or staying the night, I only have a one class on Mondays and Fridays, none on Wednesdays, and three in the morning on Tuesdays, and Thursdays so I will be able to be flexible to your pet's schedule. Depending on your situation, I am able to adapt to your home environment, whether it be a pet on leash, fenced in yard, or crating your pet. I am able to adapt to whatever, you know your pet best so I will listen to whatever safety regulations you have implemented.

“Kim is great! She stayed at our house and watched our dog, Finn, for four days while we were out of town. Kim sent us photos and updates the whole time, which made us feel really at ease. She was very responsive and took wonderful care of Finn and the house. We would highly recommend Kim’s services and will definitely book her again in the future!”
About: A former doggie dad, I am a responsible, attentive adult who will provide top care for your family. A fenced-in yard and open space in my home are perfect for your dog to relax and have fun. Also active I will enjoy taking your dog for guided walks, runs and plenty of outdoor time. Your home or mine, I will think of your dog like they are family and will respect your privacy and provide the love and affection I would have wanted for my own dog.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Dublin
Once again, Ian provided us with amazing care for our Martha , Maggie and Nala in our home. It's a wonderful feeling to know that we can go on a much needed getaway without feeling guilty or concerned that our pets aren't being properly cared for. Ian would deserve 10 stars if we could, as we came home to happy tails and a well cared for home.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Dublin is $62 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $50 and $85 per night. 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.

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 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.
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.
