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. 🐱✨

Courtney is great with my dog and was available on short notice. The dog seems to enjoy her stays and gets to socialize with other dogs. Courtney is very friendly and great with communication. Will bring the dog to stay with her in the future.

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 am an animal lover and I'm not afraid to admit that my dog is my best friend. I enjoy the outdoors and with an energetic Jack Russell who loves his walks and spins in the car are a must. Dogs give us nothing but love so the least I can do is show them love & care when they stay in my home. I live with my semi retired uncle who loves having the company of a dog in the house and I also rent a room to students so the dogs staying with me will never be on their own too long. I have a front garden & enclosed back garden. I also live close to walkways so they will have plenty of exercise. I run a calm and comfortable house. Dogs in my care can come to relax and chill out or play and run around with my little terrier. I give the dogs the run of the downstairs areas of my home so they will not be confined to small spaces or just one room.

Ludmila is amazing! From the first moment we met her we knew our dogs were in good hands. The way she looked after them and listened to everything we said so that she could get to know each dog individually is something we really appreciate. While Ollie and Nala were with Ludmila they had the opportunity to be with other dogs in a safe space which was great for them. We really trust Ludmila and are delighted with the way she always keeps in touch and sends pics and videos. We are very lucky to have found her :)

About: Hi, my name is Ciara. I have completed 2 years at Johns Community College in Animal Care and I am also experienced in pet sitting and walking. I live in a 2 bedroom house with a backyard. If your dog stays with me, I will regularly keep you updated with photos/videos messages. All dogs of any breed/size are welcome to stay with me. And will get my full and undivided love and attention! Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. Looking forward to hearing from you and your pup! Since I’m currently on a career break, I have plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your pet. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine as I am home throughout the day and able to provide consistent attention, walks, playtime, and companionship. I’m available for doggy day care and boarding during the week, fully available all day on weekends for dog walking, and also available on some weekday evenings. Your pet would receive lots of care, supervision, and affection as part of my everyday schedule. I care for pets in my home as if they were my own. I have a fully fenced-in back yard where dogs can safely play and exercise under supervision. Inside the home, they’ll have a comfortable, calm environment with plenty of attention, affection, and regular toilet breaks. I can also crate a dog if needed, whether that’s part of their usual routine, for overnight sleeping, or for short periods to help them feel secure. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely regarding feeding schedules, exercise needs, and any special requirements to make sure your pet feels happy, safe, and at home.

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.

About: I’ve always been an animal lover and caring for dogs has been a natural part of my life for many years. I currently run a small home-based dog boarding service, where I provide a safe, loving and cozy environment for small-breed pups and dogs. Each dog is treated like family, with lots of cuddles, playtime and attention to their unique needs. I understand how important routine and comfort are for dogs, especially when they’re away from home, so I make sure to follow your pup’s/dogs schedule closely, from mealtimes and walks to play sessions and nap times. I also keep owners updated with photos, videos and messages so you can feel at ease while your furry baby is with me. Whether it’s daily walks, overnight stays, daycare or just keeping your pup company, I promise to give them the same love and care that I give my own. 🐾💛✨ I’m a full-time mum and also a proud pet parent myself, so I’m home and available to care for your furry baby throughout the day. Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine—I love having dogs around and making sure they get the attention, playtime and cuddles they deserve. I have a fully fenced yard and a gentle, friendly Bichon Frise called Frosty who loves company. I mostly board small breeds so everyone feels safe and cared for. Pets are always supervised and I follow each owner’s instructions closely—whether it’s feeding schedules, walks or special needs. My goal is to create a warm, stress-free environment so your pup/dog feels right at home🐾🐶

Milo had such a great time staying with Qing! She is friendly, kind, and truly caring. Milo clearly enjoyed his stay and was very well taken care of. Qing kept me updated with lots of photos, walked him regularly, and made sure he was well fed. I felt completely at ease knowing Milo was in such good hands. I will definitely book with Qing again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving sitter for their fur baby.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Cork

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Cork on Rover is €32.2 per day (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care 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 Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 33 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Cork. Enter your Eircode to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your working day. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalised environment for your pup.

A typical day can include companionship, one-to-one attention, and same-day collection and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.

Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:

  • For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose 'can host' section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
  • For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socialising needs.
  • For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters 'Doesn't own a dog' and 'Only accepts one pet at a time' to find the right care.

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 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 .

Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they 'Accept multiple clients' or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!

Many sitters on Rover can help with collection and drop-off! You can find the cost of collection and drop-off in their profile under 'See additional rates'.

If you found a day care close to your home in Cork, you can also explore dog walking as an add-on service, which allows your sitter to collect or drop off your dog from their home to yours. Add your location to the search field to find sitters near you and message them directly about transport alternatives.

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.

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.
