About: Harbour Hound B&B isn’t your usual dog‑boarding setup, we’re a non‑mixing environment, taking one dog at a time, or two from the same household, so every guest gets proper one‑to‑one care. Our guest has their own cosy bedroom for the duration of their stay. Dogs here sleep independently in their room, and they’ll also have short periods of downtime while I get on with normal mum things like cooking dinner or tidying up. Because of that, it’s important that your dog is comfortable settling on their own and doesn’t become anxious or stressed by this. We welcome: Dogs who can rest independently in a closed room. If you’d like to get a feel for how I work, you can see videos and updates on my social media. FB: Harbour Hound B&B Instagram: harbour.houndbnb It is usually where I work from. As a stay‑at‑home mom, I have the time and flexibility to offer calm, focused, one‑to‑one care throughout the day. Every dog is welcomed like part of the family and taken straight out for a walk to help them settle in comfortably. I do step out for short periods for normal household tasks, but dogs are never left alone for long. We’re a nature‑loving family, and daily walks are a big part of our routine , they bring us peace and keep the dogs happy. We have two dogs of our own who are well loved members of the family. They enjoy their own space, so to ensure every dog feels safe and relaxed, we keep guest dogs in a separate area of the house with their own room and routine. This setup allows for one on one attention and a calm environment tailored to each dogs needs. Each guest gets their own private upstairs suite (aka our spare room), access to a memory foam bed and zero competition for cuddles. Please have flea treatments & vaccinations up to date

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
Dog owners share their Rover experiences - Cobh
Brian minded our dog when we were on holiday. We were delighted with how it all went. Brian was very kind and caring and provided ample video and photo updates while we were away. Bailey had a great time and we definitely will be going back to Brian again, couldn't recommend Brian enough, amazing.
Brian is a very caring and skilled minder. He gave Belle a wonderful time, a variety of activities everyday and sent so many beautiful photographs. She was at home right away, a home away from home. I was very happy and confident all the time I was abroad, that she was in excellent hands, highly recommend and Belle will be delighted to go back again soon.
I can't say enough about Darcy. Harry loved his overnight and I would recommend Darcy to anyone. She was so good with him and sent loads of updates throughout the stay. It was very reassuring as this was Harry's first time awaw from me since I adopted him. Amazing ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

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