About: Hi! We’re Casey and Anastasiia, a couple who truly love dogs and provide a safe, loving home where they can relax and feel like part of the family. We live in a spacious house in Balbriggan with a secure, fully enclosed back garden where dogs can safely play and explore. We’re also close to beautiful parks and the beach, so every dog enjoys daily walks, fresh air, and plenty of exercise. One of us is always at home, so your dog will never be left alone for long. We only care for a small number of dogs at a time, allowing us to give every guest the attention, love, and individual care they deserve. Whether your dog loves playing with friends or simply relaxing on the sofa, we’ll make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and cared for throughout their stay. 🏡 What We Offer ✔ Safe home with a secure fenced garden ✔ Daily walks in parks and by the sea ✔ Lots of playtime, cuddles and attention ✔ Comfortable sleeping areas inside our home ✔ Photo & video updates during every stay ✔ Feeding exactly according to your instructions ✔ Medication administration if required ✔ Pet Taxi (pick-up & drop-off available) ✔ Separate space available if a dog needs quiet time ✔ Flexible drop-off and collection times I work from home part-time, which allows me to give lots of attention to the pets I care for. When I’m pet sitting, I treat it as my main responsibility , I make sure the pets are never left alone for too long and always feel safe, loved, and comfortable. Pet care is not just a task in my routine, it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize every day. Whether pets stay in my home or I’m caring for them in their own home, I always do my best to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I live in a house with a private backyard, so when pets stay with me, they enjoy a clean and cozy environment, plenty of playtime, and relaxing moments in the sun. We’re close to the sea and a beautiful park, which makes our daily walks fun and full of adventure! When I care for pets in their owner’s home, I follow all instructions carefully and make sure their routine is kept just as they’re used to. In both cases, I stay in close contact with the pet parents - I send regular photo and video updates so they always know how their furry friend is doing and can feel completely at ease.
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.
About: I have cared for all types of dogs since I was 10 years old. My neighbors, friends, and family trust me to watch, feed, walk, and play with their beloved pets. I have full availability on Mondays and Tuesdays, as these are my days off from work. During those days, I can dedicate all my time and attention to caring for, walking, and playing with your pet. At my home, your pet will enjoy a fully fenced and secure backyard. They will have the company of my dog and my cat, who are very social, calm, and completely used to living with other animals. If the service is at your house, I will strictly follow their feeding routines, walks, and home rules. Safety and well-being are my top priorities: if you prefer your pet to rest in their crate/carrier or have a separate space to sleep safely, I will adapt 100% to whatever they need to feel happy and stress-free

About: Providing flexible and regular dog walking and sitting (dogs from one family only per walk and stay ❤️) in Donabate and surrounding area. New to this app (profile approved as of Aug 14 2026), but have nice reviews in the Donabate Facebook Group. Life long love of dogs. I'm full time at home and my three children are in school so I have plenty of time to provide one one one attention to your dog. I can walk doggies solo between 9am and 1pm or so midweek, and also at flexible times at the weekends. After school midweek the children may be walking with me 🤗. I provide stays in my home in a family environment also. I have a medium sized well fenced back garden with grass. We don't own a pet of our own yet, but am well experienced with dogs, and I grew up in a house with a champion trained dog who did Kennel Club competitions! Your dog will become a part of our family during their stay. Sleeping arrangements depend on what the dog is used to, and they are welcome upstairs in our house. Dogs are also allowed on the couches if that is what they are used to. Our estate is adjacent to an estuary park so there will always be plenty of walks.

About: I'm Irish, 34 + a lover of animals. It's this love for animals which had me spend a lot of time on farms in recent years has had me pet sit a lot. I also like to have the quiet of a place to myself and to be in new environments. So, I have become very experienced with pet sitting + have a strong track record with 39 out of 40 5-star reviews on Trusted House Sitters. I take seriously the responsibility of looking after people's animals, as well as their home. My healthy + steady lifestyle is one that is well suited to pet sitting, with the animals experiencing the benefits of that. The daily routines (waking early, dog walks etc) then fit in well for me. It has been interesting to meet many different characters + breeds along the way + it definitely has a heart opening effect. I am self-employed + study a bit online, fitting everything in with the requirements of the pet sits I do. ( I am also available for paid garden work/yard work/odd jobs/admin, so feel free to enquire). Because I like to live in a clean and tidy space, you can expect your home to be returned to you like that. I don't drink alcohol or smoke so that wouldn't be in the picture. Ready to do a good job. Currently I am available daily and have a flexible schedule to work with, meaning that there is nothing that would clash with the pet sitting. I maintain the routine that the dogs and/or cats are familiar with, while providing a calm environment for the pets in the comfort of their own home.
About: I’m very empathetic and can pick up on dogs emotions as I’ve had a dog since I was 10 years old. I’m reliable and committed to understanding pet care. I notice different body language and routines and especially health needs. I’m very patient and attentive and I love animals and would love to do it as a job At the moment I do two days in college which are Thursday 9:30-1:30 and Friday 9:30-11:30am. I work doing events and it varies with hours a lot but I would like to do this job and fit it into my daily routine as it’s something more suited to my personality. I’ve been caring for my dog, a 14 year old parson russel terrier since I was 10 years old. Over the years ive handled everything from daily walks and feeding to understanding their changing needs as they’ve gotten older. I make sure he gets plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, and love while keeping up with health concerns and vet visits. Caring for my dog Teddy who is now senior has taught me how to adapt to different routines and patience. I spend all of my time with my dog when I’m home and treat him like my bestfriend

About: Taking care of pets is much more than just a job for me — it’s something I do with all my heart. I have three dogs and a cat, so I understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy to spend time with them, care for them, play, and make sure they’re happy and healthy. I have experience administering medicines and caring for both puppies and older animals, which makes me confident in handling pets of all ages. I can walk them for up to 30 minutes and send daily updates (three times a day for overnight care). My schedule is flexible, and I’m available every day if needed. I’m comfortable with pets of all personalities and behavior types. Caring for animals is a responsibility I take very seriously because every pet is part of a family, and I treat each one as if they were my own. I worked as a pharmacist in a veterinary pharmacy, my sister is a veterinarian, and my family now has more than 20 dogs — so a love for animals truly runs in our blood. Working with pets is more than a job for me; it’s something I genuinely enjoy and take pride in. I’m fully flexible and can provide pet care anytime, anywhere in Dublin, including overnight stays during weekdays and weekends, ensuring your pets are happy, safe, and well cared for.

About: I’ve had pets all my life, and that has taught me to treat them as my best friends. I've worked as a pet sitter in Brazil and I’ve been working with, in Dublin for 2 years. I speak English fluently and I've got all the skills to make sure pet owners have a smooth and easy-going experience. I think the most important thing for a good pet sitter is to love animals and understand their individual needs. They need our care and attention, and should be treated as our best friends. Over the last 2 years working as a pet sitter in Dublin, most of the animals I looked after were cats. I get on very well with them and know how to respect each one’s temperament and personality; I believe this is important when it comes to cats. I'm pretty flexible, so we can figure out the best timetable and payment methods that work for you. I’m sure I can be your next permanent pet sitter, making your life as a tutor easier. Roberta I’m pretty flexible, so I prefer to talk about time and everything in advance, to make sure the tutors have a smooth, easygoing experience. I always heard the tutors instructions carefully and adapt all to the needs of each pet. I reckon that each pet has very specific needs, so it’s more important to me to heard the tutor so I can adapt myself to provide an easy and trustworthy experience.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-to-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Balbriggan. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighbourhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
<b>Tip:</b> Keep in mind that many cities require your dog walker to have a permit or licence for group walks.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poo breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Balbriggan after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes dedicated customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement programme 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 walker 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 walker is the right fit before booking.

- 86% can help with daily exercise

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When contacting 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'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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

Many sitters keep their calendars updated in real time and you can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care in the next 24 hours, you can look for sitters with a 'calendar last updated' notice on their profiles.
Walkers 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 walker.
