About: I've spent my whole life around dogs, from raising Shepherds as a kid to recently caring for friends, neighbors, and families pets and volunteering at an animal shelter. That hands-on experience means I genuinely understand how they think and what they need. I can read a dog's body language, recognize when something's off, and respond calmly and confidently in any situation.

I follow the owner's routine closely, feeding schedules, walking routes, any rules they've set, because consistency is what makes them feel secure in an unfamiliar situation.

About: I have grown up with dogs and cats my whole life, and really miss having my family home pets around. I would be more than happy to have some snuggles to keep your fur babies company while you are away! :) I’m currently working full time but have time on weekends or evenings to care for your pets! I also live a short walk from work and tend to go home on my lunch breaks, if your pet is independent I have a very small area out the back of my house which is completely enclosed, and I’m more than happy to have them on the couch or on the bed, whatever they would prefer

About: I've been surrounded by animals my whole life. I had a dog when I was little, and for the last 12 years, I'm the mom of a little furball cat. I've looked after dogs and cats for some friends at different times in my life. Recently, here in Cork, after looking a friend's cats, I decided to use my love for animals to help people like my friend who have to travel and can't take care of their furry friends. I recently stopped working due to back problems and I would love to be able to dedicate my free time to helping and caring furry friends. I live in a shared apartment, so it's easier to care for the animals in their own homes. I'm a clean and organized person, and I have no problem picking up droppings or cleaning cat litter. When you return to your home, it will be as if you were never gone.

About: I have a lot of experience caring for both dogs and cats of all ages, from energetic pups and playful kitties to sweet seniors who just need a calm routine. I know how to read their body language to keep them happy and safe, and since I live right in the City Centre, I’m always nearby and reliable. You’ll get plenty of photo updates throughout the day! I’m also a pharmacist and covered veterinary science during my degree, so if your pet needs any medication, I’m completely comfortable following precise medical instructions and dosages. I have classes Monday to Thursday from 1 pm to 5 pm and work part-time in a café. This leaves my mornings, evenings, and full weekends completely free for pet sitting! Since I live right in the City Centre, I can easily fit in early morning walks, evening drop-ins, or full weekend care around your pet's schedule. I’m completely flexible and happy to help with whatever service you need, whether it's at my place or yours. If they stay at my apartment, they’ll have a large space to relax and play. For care at your home, I can pop in to sort out their food and water, clean the litter box, or take them out for a walk. Safety is always my priority, and I’ll make sure to send you plenty of photos throughout the day.

About: I’m Chiara, I’m Italian, and I’m currently living in Cork while studying at University College Cork (UCC). I’m a student and I’ve been taking care of dogs of all kinds since I was 10 years old. Neighbours, friends, and family have always trusted me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets. I’m very attentive to each dog’s individual needs, and I can provide personalised walks while creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for your four-legged friend! 🩷 Besides studying, I love spending my free time here in Cork taking care of animals. I’m very attentive to each dog’s individual needs and I can provide personalised walks, plenty of attention and affection, and a safe and comfortable environment for your four-legged friend. I’m available before or after my classes whenever needed and I always make sure every pet receives the care and love they deserve! 🩷 I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable and cared for. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully, respect each pet’s routine and needs, and give them plenty of attention and affection. During walks, I always keep dogs under control and make sure they are in a safe environment. If I’m taking care of them in their own home, I also make sure to respect their space and keep everything clean and tidy.

About: At a young age I started working with farm animals (mostly horses, goats and sheep). A few years ago I pet-sat a full year for a dog breeder / behaviourist which thought me a lot about dogs specifically. I have always had good instincts when it comes to most animals and have had a few of my own. Being in a new country makes me miss having dogs or cats around. I'm a full-time student in a new country. During weekdays I have around 8 hours of class. Usually from morning until 3/4 pm after that and during the weekends my schedule is very flexible. I live in student accommodation and cannot care for dogs in my house at the moment. I'll be more than happy to take them out for long walks or to care for them in their own houses.

About: I spent many summers taking care of my family's dogs; I used to have a Labrador, but currently I have a cat who thinks he's a dog—he's really not afraid. I love cats and dogs. Currently I work the night shift from 3 PM to midnight. I have free time to walk your pet or visit them in the morning or early afternoon. I live in a building on the third floor, I have a park nearby to walk in, and my house is safe because I don't have access to the street.

“Paula was incredible with my dog, a 1 year old Belgian Malinois cross. My dog is quite picky with people and can be a bit of a handful. Paula had her eating out of her hands within seconds. I couldn't believe how Pepper responded to her. It was like she knew her for months. Paula is one of those rare individuals that understands animals and whos calmness is picked up by them. I wouldn't hesitate to book Paula again or reccomend her to anyone considering hiring her.”


About: Hi! Hope you and your pet are well :) My name is Marcela, I am a Brazilian- Italian living in Cork, I have 26 years old and I love animals. As an experienced pet care provider, I have worked with a wide range of animals, including dogs, cats, and birds. I'm not only comfortable with different breeds and species but also skilled in administering medication, ensuring your pet's health and safety at all times. Whether it's a playful puppy, a curious cat, or a talkative bird, I know how to cater to their specific needs and personalities. My love for animals started when I was a little girl, and that passion has given me the chance to build amazing relationships with different pets over the years. These experiences have provided me with valuable knowledge and countless animal friends along the way. I offer personalized, loving care for your furry or feathered family members, treating each pet as if they were my own. Walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of cuddles are all part of the experience. I understand that every pet is unique, and I adapt my care to ensure they feel safe, loved, and well-attended. You can trust that your pet will receive the best care possible, no matter their size or temperament. Let's make your pet's day brighter! This summer I'll have a very flexible schedule and will be available every day. I enjoy spending time with animals, so pet sitting fits perfectly into my routine. I'll be able to provide plenty of attention, regular walks, playtime, and care based on each pet's needs. I primarily provide care in the pet owner's home, where pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I carefully follow their usual routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication (if needed and instructed), and lots of attention and companionship. I also send regular updates and photos to keep owners informed and give them peace of mind while they're away.
About: My name is Timi, originally from Hungary, but I grew up in Spain. I live here in Cork for 7 years and got the citizenship. I live with my 17 year old son. I work from home with a very flexible work schedule. I grew up with a German Shepherd and a Labrador and two house cats. I worked in three big pet shops in Budapest. We were selling hamsters, birds, bunnies, different type of lizards, tarantulas, snakes, turtles, tortoises, mice, rats, guinea pigs, ferrets, fish, chameleons, chinchillas, chipmunks, and other small pets. We also had grey parrots, and I made friends with a cockatoo. I had an Irish Setter that I loved very much. Then, I had a Basset Hound, a Chinese soft-shell turtle, and a Persian cat at the same time. Later, while working in the pet store, I took in a pregnant hamster that had 15 pups. I also had dwarf hamsters and guppies. I went to the Budapest Zoo two times a year where I could feed the elephants by handing them an apple or a carrot. It was an amazing experience. I also visited a country side zoo where I could pet lion cubs for a short time, and a Zoo cafe where you could hold onto different small pets. I moved to Spain where I had 10 budgies in an aviary on the balcony, and rescued a rosy-faced lovebird and a yellow-collard lovebird. They fell in love with each other and became a couple. I have a cat here in Cork. It is an outdoor cat. I made friends with a robin who was coming to my hand for two years. He was also coming into my room to eat. I have some magpie friends who are coming to my window to ask for dry cat food. I can take your dog for a walk or do daily visits and feed your cat or dog. Unfortunately, I can't host any animals in my home anymore because animals are not allowed inside the rental. I also would be happy to feed your hamster, bird, reptile, or any other small animal you have and clean their space. I have experience with most of them due to working in pet shops for many years. I am available any time. I can send you photos and updates about your pet anytime. I am working from home Mon-Thu 5 pm, Fri 4 pm. I can also walk your dog or feed your cat and another pets on any weekend or bank holiday. I feed your pet, clean their plates and their place, clean the cat toilet, rub them, play with them, brush them, and give them lots of love.
The median cost per Visit for cat sitting in Cork is €14
Cat owners share their Rover experiences - Cork
We felt so lucky to have Helena looking after our cat while we were away on holiday. She is a genuine animal lover; so kind, gentle and caring. Our cat loved Helena’s visits, and it was great to know that she was so happy well looked after while we were away. Helena was extremely reliable, punctual and professional at all times. She is also very pleasant and lovely to deal with. It was our first experience of hiring a professional pet sitter and Helena exceeded our expectations. Thank you Helena for doing such a fantastic job!
Erin was very nice, kind and open. I greatly apreciate her last minute willingness to be booked. I enjoyed reading her everyday card visits and photos. The most important is that I found Savy on return very well, she defiantly had enough play time and cuddles, as she did not cling as anxious to me returning. I was able to enjoy my holiday, knowing Savy is on good hands. We will for sure, rebook Erin in the future.

We were so grateful that Debbie was able to care for our cat while we were away. We got daily updates which were very much appreciated, and our cat was very relaxed when we returned which is always such a wonderful sight. I have no reservations in recommending Debbie.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
