About: After nearly 15 wonderful years with Persa, our beloved Yorkie, we truly understand that a dog isn't just a pet, but a cherished member of the family. While we aren't quite ready to welcome a new dog of our own full-time just yet, we deeply miss having a furry companion around the house and would love to care for yours! Having cared for our Yorkie through every stage of life—from high-energy puppyhood to her gentle senior years—we have extensive experience catering to dogs of all personalities, ages, and needs. What you can expect when your dog stays with us: Tailored Care & Attention: Whether your dog thrives on high-energy playtime or needs a peaceful, quiet space to rest and snooze, we adjust entirely to their natural pace and routine. Safe & Secure Space: We have a fully enclosed, secure back garden perfect for frequent, safe toilet breaks and fresh-air sniffing sessions. Medical & Senior Care: We are completely comfortable and experienced with administering medication, adhering to strict dietary needs, and giving senior dogs the gentle, patient care they deserve. Peace of Mind: You’ll receive regular photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your pup is happy, comfortable, and treated like family. We know how hard it can be to leave your dog behind, and we treat every guest with the exact same love, patience, and attention we gave our own dog for 15 years. We both work on a hybrid schedule, and we will ensure that at least one of us will be working from home full-time whenever we are caring for your dog, ensuring they are never left unattended. Our typical day is naturally structured around dog care: Morning: An early walk to start the day. Mid-day: A shorter lunchtime walk and playtime to break up the afternoon. Evening: A longer, relaxing evening walk (weather permitting!) to wind down. Throughout the day, our fully secure back garden allows for frequent, stress-free toilet breaks and quick sniffing sessions whenever needed. While this is our standard flow, we know every dog is unique. We are always happy to adjust this schedule to match your dog's normal routine as closely as possible. We have a fully fenced back garden that offers a safe, enclosed environment for frequent toilet breaks, sunbathing, and fresh-air play throughout the day. Beyond our garden, we live just a short walk from a lovely local park, giving your dog plenty of open, green space to explore, exercise, and enjoy all the good sniffs!
“Molly had a fantastic time. She was so looked after. Lots of walks, cuddles and playtime. I received photos and videos during Molly's vacation with a great minder. She was all fresh and washed when I collected her. I definitely recommend and will be using Jennifer's services again. I'm sure Molly would agree with me!!!!”
About: I have a 13 year old dog and adopted cat , always happy to help to look after another pet , nearby there is a park that is perfect for a walk I’m working different shifts but there is always some at home very often I go for a longer walk with kids( teenagers ) and our dog beside the regular walks that are needed I prefer to look after in our own house as there is a back garden and big park next door perfect for a long walk ( off leash area )

“Oliver and his family were very welcoming when they met Cosmo and I at an initial meet and greet. Their home is perfectly set up for pets as the living area leads directly out into the garden. It was very obvious very quickly that Oliver is a natural when it comes to connecting with dogs. Cosmo was immediately comfortable with Oliver and his family. I knew Cosmo would be in great hands. Oliver kept me up to date with photos and feedback which was extremely comforting for me and very much appreciated. It was great to see Cosmo enjoying her stay and that she was settling in without issue. I highly recommend Oliver to look after your dog if you want peace of mind and I will definitely be using Oliver again in the near future.”

“We are so happy with Natalia’s boarding service for our dog Molly! We left her with Natalia for 8 nights while we went on holiday, and she had such a fun time between daily walks, cuddles, playtimes, and even a day trip to Glendalough! We received daily updates of Molly through videos and pictures which made us feel very much at ease as we could see she was getting on great. We highly recommend Natalia for any service as she was incredibly caring and loving towards our Molly during her stay :) We will definitely be using Natalia the next time we need Molly minded!”
About: my girlfriend and I love animals and have grown up caring for dogs! We have our own 6 year old poodle mix who is friendly with other dogs and people. My girlfriend works from home so she’s able to supervise your pet, take them out, and have frequent play breaks! Our dog is part of our family and we’d love to help take care of yours too. My girlfriend works from home so she can supervise your pet during the day! We would plan around them on weekends and bring them out with us if we go somewhere if that is okay with you! We live in a neighbourhood with a park and walking trail, so your dog would have plenty of options to walk around and enjoy the outdoors!
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by animals my entire life, including small and large dogs such as Beagles, Spaniels, German Pointers and Alsatians, as well as cats. While at university in the Netherlands, I spent four years pet sitting and dog walking, caring for both puppies and mature dogs as well as cats. I’m comfortable with different breeds, sizes and personalities, and love getting to know each pet’s individual routine and needs. I’m an active person who loves walking and running, so I’d be very happy to have a four-legged companion join me on suitable walks or runs. I also have a spacious ground-floor apartment with easy access to outdoor space, making it a comfortable home-from-home for pets. I work from home full-time, so I have plenty of flexibility throughout the day to give your pet attention, walks, playtime and company. I’m able to fit pet care around my working schedule and can accommodate regular walks, drop-ins and boarding. I also love getting outdoors, so dogs staying with me can enjoy plenty of walks and time outside, depending on their usual routine and needs. I live in a secure, well-maintained complex with a fenced patio and a spacious ground-floor apartment, giving pets a comfortable and secure environment. I’m also just beside Phoenix Park, so there are plenty of lovely walking routes nearby. I take pet safety seriously and would follow your instructions closely around feeding, walks, routines and any specific needs your pet has.
“I couldn’t recommend Beatriz enough! She minded my dog Teddy for 3 nights and took such amazing care of him. I got lots of updates throughout his stay, including plenty of pictures and videos, which really put my mind at ease. Teddy was taken on loads of walks and looked so happy and comfortable the entire time. It’s clear he was very well looked after and treated like one of her own. I would absolutely book again — thank you so much, Beatriz, for taking such great care of Teddy!”
About: Hi! I’m a dog-loving mom in my mid-30s living with my young family of four in a peaceful countryside setting. We’re lucky to have five acres of land, including two and a half acres that are fully fenced—perfect for safe, supervised play and exploring. We’re also just a short distance from the beach (less than 2km away), where I walk daily with our dog. Your dog will enjoy plenty of fresh air, exercise, and stimulation as part of our routine. We have a friendly, young Golden Retriever Rough Collie cross who is playful, gentle, and gets along really well with other dogs. Our home is very much a dog-loving environment, and any visiting dog will be treated like part of the family. I also have several years of experience volunteering with assistance dogs, where I trained three puppies who went on to support families. This has given me a strong understanding of dog behaviour, training, and care. Your dog will be in safe, caring, and experienced hands with us. Both myself and my husband, Ciaran, work from home so someone will always be around to care for your pet. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I’ll make sure they feel happy, comfortable, and well looked after. Our home has a consistent and flexible routine, with plenty of company throughout the week. I work from home three days a week, and my husband works from home on the other two, so there is always someone around to supervise, care for, and spend time with the dogs. We’re very active day-to-day. I take our dog out for one to two walks daily, often including trips to the nearby beach, as well as time exploring our private land. At home, dogs have access to over two and a half acres of fully fenced garden and an attached field, giving them lots of safe space to run, play, and relax. Between walks, outdoor time, and being part of family life indoors, dogs staying with us enjoy a balanced routine of exercise, stimulation, and rest. Dogs staying with us are welcomed as one of our own, sharing our home and daily life. They can relax indoors with the family or enjoy plenty of time outside playing and exploring at their own pace.
“Maham minded our Labrador Freddy for ten days and honestly we couldn’t be happier. She treated him as he was her own, she always texted and updates us with pictures and videos. He always seemed very happy. The best dog minder ever! ”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Ashbourne on Rover is {{median_grand_total_num.as_currency}} per night (as of {{date}}). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding 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 Dog Boarding.
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialise in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your Eircode to find a sitter within walking distance in your neighbourhood.
Finding the right boarding environment is all about peace of mind. Boarding with a sitter on Rover helps you find a cosy experience in a real home for your dog.
When searching for a host, look for a sitter who:
- Offers a secure, home-like environment that is clean and welcoming
- Adheres to your dog’s established routine for meals, activity, and rest
- Possesses relevant experience with your pet’s specific breed, size, and personality
- Maintains clear communication regarding the frequency of photo and message updates
Don’t skip the Meet & Greet! The free Meet & Greet is the best way to see where your dog will sleep and who they might play with.
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 Meath ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines such as Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Infectious Canine Hepatitis (Adenovirus), and Leptospirosis.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Some boarding sitters stay with the dogs in their care for most of the day, while others may step out for work, errands or other commitments. Each sitter’s schedule and the amount of time your dog may be left alone will vary, so it is important to agree expectations before the stay begins.
Before booking, tell the sitter how long your dog can comfortably be left alone and confirm their typical schedule during the stay. Adding the maximum number of hours your dog can be left alone to their profile can also help sitters decide whether they are the right match.
Boarding does not automatically include round-the-clock supervision. If your dog needs someone present at all times, ask whether the sitter offers constant care or 24/7 care. This may require a separate arrangement and may not be included in the sitter’s standard boarding rate.
Every sitter must complete an identity verification process before listing their services on Rover. This process checks that the sitter’s identity matches their provided documents.
Identity verification doesn't assess a sitter’s experience or suitability for your pet. To see if a sitter is the right fit, you can review each sitter's profile for ratings, verified reviews, repeat pet owner information and care style. We also recommend arranging a Meet & Greet to discuss your pet’s needs and make sure the sitter is the right fit before booking.
For more details, visit our Trust & Safety page.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English, French, German, and Spanish from Mon-Sat 9am to 6pm. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a veterinary professional or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s booking protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
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-in visits, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12.00 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 booking protection will kick in. This means you'll get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
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've never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover, but you're welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you've 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're 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'll have a chance to go 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. A Meet & Greet is a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
