“What a lovely, friendly and welcoming family who clearly have a great love of dogs! They looked after our boy Dylan so well and treated him like he was their own and gave him loads of walks and playtime. He was one happy dog when we picked him up! We would absolutely recommend Lyndsey to anyone and we would absolutely leave Dylan with her again.”

About: Hi 👋 I’m Amy! I’ve been caring for dogs for over 8 years, starting with our family dog, Cleo. I’ve also cared for friends’ dogs while they’ve been away, including stays of up to two weeks, so I understand how important it is for owners to know their dog is in loving, reliable hands 🩷 I work from home, which means your dog will have company and supervision throughout the day. I also have a friendly Corgi, Winnie, who loves other dogs, so your pup would have to be okay with another dog in the house 🐶 I’ll always stick to your dog’s usual routine, whether that’s feeding times, walks, medication or crate training. I’ll also send plenty of photo and video updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing your dog is happy, comfortable and being treated like one of the family 🏡🩷 I work from home, so your dog will have plenty of company, attention and supervision throughout the day. They’ll be part of our daily routine with walks, playtime, enrichment and lots of cuddles. Dogs are never left alone for more than 2 hours, and that’s only occasionally if we need to pop out. I’m available for both weekday and weekend boarding and I’m always happy to arrange a meet and greet beforehand to make sure everyone is comfortable. Your dog’s safety, comfort and happiness are my top priorities. I have a secure, fully enclosed garden for supervised play and a friendly Pembroke Welsh Corgi, Winnie, who loves the company of other dogs. As Winnie is crate trained, we’re happy to accommodate other crate-trained dogs and follow their usual routine. I’ll also stick to your dog’s feeding schedule, walking routine and any medication or special instructions. To provide every dog with a calm, stress-free stay, we only board one family’s dog(s) at a time. I’ll keep you updated throughout their stay with regular photos and videos, so you can relax knowing they’re being cared for like one of the family.
“It was the first time we left our little Lola alone, and that scared us. But the experience with Paraic has been fantastic. He sent us daily reports with photos and videos of how Lola was doing, he was very patient with us who asked a lot, and most importantly, we saw that Lola felt at home with Paraic. Without a doubt we will repeat, with the peace of mind of knowing that Lola is in the best hands.”
“Pepper had so much attention, walks and play with Courtney he was very happy and tired on his return home. Pepper is quite nervous and so submissive but Courtney seems so tuned in to the needs of all the dogs in her care. We’d love to have her as our minder again ☺️”
About: I’ve been the family pet sitter for years with 2 of my own dogs, Bucky 6 and Sasha 4. Looking to earn some extra cash so thought why not do it doing something I love, looking after someone else’s babies 🥰. I have my own home with a large garden and I work from home so dogs are walked during my lunch break and again in the evening for a quick run around the local park. Outside of that your doggo can relax on the couch with my two and get lots of cuddles 🥰 I work from home for majority of the week - the longest your dog will be alone is 4 hours at a stretch. I walk a lot, so your dog will get adequate exercise depending on their needs. I usually take my dogs out a lunch time and in the evenings for a quick run around the park too. I have a large fenced garden. I also have a crate that I have made cosy so if your dog needs their own space they can sleep in the crate but also happy for them to sleep on the couch. I want your dog to feel at home, this is not a kennels.
About: I have years of experience caring for dogs, cats, birds, and even fish! I truly love all animals and always treat each pet like family. I’m responsible, patient, and happy to help with feeding, cleaning, playtime, and any special care your pets need. Your furry, feathery, or finned friends will be safe and loved while you’re away! I’m working part‑time, which gives me flexibility to integrate pet care into my week seamlessly. I typically reserve mornings (7–9 AM) and evenings (5–8 PM) for drop‑in visits or playtime—and weekends are wide open for extended stays or boarding. With this schedule, I can consistently provide reliable, affectionate care and ensure plenty of quality time with your cats or dogs every day. 🐾 I create a safe and calm environment both at clients’ homes and mine. I always check doors and windows, close escape routes, and remove any items that could be risky. I follow owners’ instructions carefully for feeding, medication, litter box cleaning, and play routines. I keep everything clean and organized and send updates with photos so owners can relax knowing their pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for. 🐱✨
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. What your dog gets with me: someone who shows up on time, every time, and treats your pup with the same care I'd give my own. I'm currently a Microbiome Science master's student at UCC. During the week, I am available after 5 PM and on the weekend am available all day Whether I'm visiting your home or welcoming your pet into mine, your pet's safety and comfort always come first. 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.
“Twix had a fantastic time with Valentina and Marisa. Great with communication, they kept in touch for the whole weekend, sending updates and adorable pictures. Twix came home exhausted after a full fun-filled weekend. Would highly recommend! ”
“We couldn’t be happier with the care Norman received! We got regular updates and lots of lovely photos throughout his stay, which gave us real peace of mind. Norman came home happy out and it was clear he was so well looked after. We’d happily recommend Deirbhile to anyone. We’ll definitely be booking again!”
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.
“Aoife and Lola had an amazing stay! Would highly recommend Aoife to look after your dogs. We will most definitely book her again. The dogs were super happy and got lots of cuddles! Thanks a mil Aoife!”
“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.”
“Renata and her family has been more than just a sitter. We left our boy, Monti, about a month to her care and he was very well taken cared for. Her father was taking him out for a nice long walk regularly and they became friends. Monti instantly liked Renata and he was already comfortable after one day. She regularly updated us with pictures without us asking and she was always very quick to respond. I could clearly see that her family was sad to see Monti go as they really care and became friends. Many thanks to Renata and her family from us and Monti 🥰”
“Imelda was absolutely fantastic looking after my 6 month old puppy. She sent loads of updates, putting my mind at ease that she was being well cared for! The pup felt right at home and had a ball with Imelda and her dogs. I picked up a really relaxed happy pup. I would highly recommend and will definitely use Imelda again. ”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Cork on Rover is €40.25 per night (as of July 2026). 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. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 49 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Cork. Enter your Eircode to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
Many boarding sitters in Cork can stay with their dogs most of the day, but it’s common for them to step out for short periods. Since every sitter’s schedule is unique, it’s important to agree on expectations before the stay begins. Adding the number of hours your dog can be alone to their profile will also help you find the right match.
If you are worried about your dog being alone, ask a sitter how they make a dog feel settled in a new environment. This can help your dog feel more comfortable.
If your dog cannot be left alone for more than a few hours, you may want to look for sitters who offer 24/7 care. Sitters who offer constant care are more likely to take on dogs who need frequent attention.
Every pet sitter, walker, and boarding sitter on Rover must pass an identity verification before they can list their services. An identity verification confirms that the sitter is who they say they are based on their documents.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to €25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit our Trust & Safety page .
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.
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 calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cut-off time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will apply. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
