About: I have owned dogs for over 10 years and have been a huge animal lover for all my life. I've always treated every dog I've come across as one of my own and of course will do the same for yours. At the moment I work full time so I am only accepting dogs on the weekends where I can give them my full attention. My life currently revolves around my own dog and I have so much more love to give, and so does Séamis my pup. I have a fenced in garden and live near a big park and lots of forest trails where we can go out and explore (always on lead).
About: Reliable, caring and responsible animal carer for dogs and cats. We will take good care of your pet. I have two older children who love animals and we have a large garden. We have a dog and 3 cats and chickens. I work part time and my husband is mostly working from home. We take our own dog out every day for at least one walk - usually to the beach or a country lane. We have a spacious house and a big garden. We have cats, chickens and our own dog. Your pet will be well looked after and welcome to wander freely around the house. This is our own home in a quiet setting. They will have plenty of access to the outdoors and attention from us.
“Doris clearly had a great time with Rodrigo and family. It was her first time in 9 years in a different house away from us so we didn’t know how it would go. But we need not have worried. We came back to a happy and content Dog. they are clearly a family who love and care for dogs especially Doris‘s new best friend their two year-old son.”
About: Hi, I'm David and based in Ballincollig. I've always had a huge love for dogs and owned one of my own over 11 years but he sadly passed away in April. Jackson was a friendly half-Lab, half Pitbull who taught me how much joy and loyalty dogs bring to your life. I'm a very active person and while I have the most experience with medium to bigger sized dogs, I am open to walking all kinds. I'm reliable, patient and I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs. I'll treat each dog with the same care and attention I gave my own. Available for walks around Ballincollig, I am happy to walk dogs whether they are vaccinated or not and I am usually available for longer walks if that suits your dog. I also drive so I can come to meet you if that is more suitable. Really looking forward to spending time with dogs again! I work from the office 2–3 half days per week, so I have good flexibility throughout the week. Mondays and Fridays are particularly suitable for me, as well as weekends. I’m also available for one-hour dog walks around lunchtime on most weekdays, as well as evening walks on most days depending on my work schedule. I’m happy to arrange a regular schedule or accommodate occasional walks where possible. I’ll always do my best to work around your dog’s routine and make sure they get the exercise, attention and care they need. I have a safe and secure home environment, including an enclosed back garden with full fencing, providing a secure space if a dog is ever in my care at home. I understand how important trust is when it comes to looking after pets, and I always prioritise safety, supervision, and consistency. I’m calm, responsible, and attentive with dogs, and I will treat every dog as if they were my own, ensuring they are comfortable, secure, and well looked after at all times.

“Sammy (our dog) loves Ludmilla - she is always happy to arrive and has a great time while there. Ludmilla genuinely cares for the dogs she has in her home and provides a loving and stimulating environment. Highly recommend.”
About: Hi everyone im Vicky and my friends and family have described me as loving dogs more than people. I grew up with dogs mainly hunting breeds such as springer spaniels and red setters but love all breeds big and small. At the moment we have two dogs Missy who is a Brittany spaniel and Susie a working cocker but more often than not my uncles collie Rubble who is a good boy is the girls third wheel. I have a three year old little boy who is as mad about dogs as I am. The dogs are all house dogs and are allowed on the furniture Missy sleeps in the bed with myself and my husband. I walk my dogs off lead in the fields surrounding my house twice a day for about an hour each time and will do the same for your pooch if they are our guest. Our dogs are part of the family and any dog we are caring for would be treated the same. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact me or if you would like to arrange a meet and greet send me a message looking forward to hearing from you and your pet! I currently am a stay at home mum to my three year old who is as mad about dogs as I am we have two dogs of our own and my uncles dog during the day and they are with me inside my home at all times they are walked off lead for one hour in the morning and one hour in the afternoon in nearby private fields. I have a large garden at the bottom of a cul de sac we do have a gate that will be closed if necessary but I do not allow the dogs outside without me and so your pet along with mine will be supervised at all times are dogs are inside dogs and are allowed in every room and on all furniture and so your dog will have the same privileges. I will walk your pet along with my own dogs twice a day and will keep them on the lead until they become used to the terrain or I can always walk them on the lead if necessary.
About: I have experience with both young and senior dogs, including basic training for puppies (like reinforcing good habits) and gentle, patient care for older animals who may need slower walks or extra support. I’m also happy to stick closely to any routines you already have in place, whether that’s feeding schedules, exercise, or specific care instructions. Overall, I aim to provide a calm, reliable presence so your dog feel safe, and you can have peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands. Available for any further questions 😀 Available for boardings during week and weekend, plenty of time for short/long walks and play. Please let us know if you need any special requirements. Fenced garden in our house and a lovely border collie to keep company to your dog. Also 2 kids, so always someone to play with.
About: Hi 😊 My name's Carla(39). I have always been an animal lover, with cats and dogs in my home growing up. I went to UCD to study zoology and shortly after created a pet sitting business called petsitterireland. During my time working as a pet sitter I had the privilege of looking after a variety of adorable pets. As a pet owner I know how important it is for you and your pet to find and feel comfortable with a pet sitter. I have references upon request and can come meet you and your pet to see if we are a good fit. I would absolutely love to provide a comfortable and loving space for your precious babies while you are away. Also available for regular dog walking Thanks for reading, Carla

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Clonakilty 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 Cork 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.
