About: I have always been around dogs and I really enjoy taking care of them. My family has two dogs, a 13-year-old Labrador and a 4-year-old Staffy, and we have had both of them since they were puppies. I am therefore comfortable with dogs of different ages, sizes and energy levels. I can take them for walks, feed them, play with them and give them lots of attention. I am patient, caring and responsible, and I will always treat your dog as if they were my own. I am currently very flexible and have plenty of free time to take care of your pets. I am available during the week and at weekends for walks, drop-in visits and pet sitting at the owner’s home. I can adapt to your pet’s usual routine and needs! I will take care of your pet in their own home, where they can stay in a familiar and comfortable environment. I will always follow the owner’s instructions regarding feeding, walks and their usual routine. I am careful, responsible and will make sure your pet feels safe and gets plenty of attention

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: I’ve grown up around animals and have been caring for dogs since I was a teenager. Over the years, I’ve also had experience looking after a variety of other pets, including cats, rabbits and guinea pigs. I genuinely love animals and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine and needs. I’m comfortable providing walks, companionship, feeding, playtime and plenty of attention and affection. I always treat every pet as if they were my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable and cared for while their owners are away. I know how important it is to feel confident that your pet is in safe and loving hands. I’ll always take the time to get to know your pet, follow their routine and keep you updated, so you can have complete peace of mind while you’re away. 🐾❤️ I’m flexible with my availability and can arrange dog walks and pet care around my schedule. I’m generally available for walks during weekdays, evenings and weekends, with advance notice preferred. I’m happy to discuss specific times and work around your pet’s routine wherever possible. I care for pets by making sure they feel safe, comfortable and loved in their own familiar environment. When caring for a pet in their home, I follow their usual routine as closely as possible, including walks, feeding, playtime, toilet breaks and plenty of attention. I understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their personality, needs and preferences. I’m also happy to keep owners updated with messages and photos so they know their pet is happy and well looked after while they’re away.

“Sofia was fantastic! She stayed with our cat for a week while we went on holiday. Our cat is very nervous and tends to get stressed when we're away, but she was totally at ease with Sofia. It was lovely to have that peace of mind while we were away - and we came back to a very happy and relaxed cat. Sofia was also so lovely to deal with and left the house spotless. We can't thank her enough ❤️”

About: I have always grown up with dogs and cats, in total I have had 5 dogs, 7 cats, and a rabbit, and so learned to be responsible with pets from a very young age. Currently my dog Roxy lives with me and is my pride and joy - my goal is to ease your mind and look after your loved pet with the same care I give to Roxy. I am available to stay at your dwelling overnight or during day time, as my remote work provides ample flexibility. This also includes availability to drop in for toilet breaks and/or designated walks. I have experience looking after all types of dogs/cats, from young to old, anxious to hyper and you can trust in me to keep your minds at ease with your loved pets! I work remotely and so I can adjust my work routine to the needs of your pets. My communication style is very proactive and revolves around careful planning with the intention to suit you and your pets schedule(s) with minimal disruption. I would care for your pet in your home in the manner in which you require, which includes toileting, crating, food schedules, walks, medication, etc. My goal is to minimize disruption to your loved pet's routine and maintain a familiar-as-possible schedule for them. I would communicate very closely with you to ensure all logistics are captured prior to the day of minding your pet so that the day itself runs as smoothly as possible. It is up to you if you would be happy to have Roxy join (with a crate) to keep your loved one with some extra company!

About: I have been surrounded by animals my whole life! I love cats and dogs and would be delighted to help you with your animal's needs! Unfortunately I no longer have my own pets and I thought Rover would be a good way to introduce some furry friends back into my life! I have also volunteered at the CSPCA animal shelter in the past which involved caring for dogs and cats and dog-walking daily! I am currently a final year student so I would be available to care for your pet Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday evenings! I am also available to house sit at weekends should your pet need care while you are away! I unfortunately am not able to offer care for your pet in my own home as my garden isn't secure enough and I wouldn't want your lovely pet to be at risk! I am an extremely trustworthy person and should you choose me to mind your pet I would do so with a lot of care, attention and kindness!

About: I’ve always loved animals and have hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I have a 5 year old Yorkshire Terrier, so I’m very familiar with daily walks, feeding, playtime, grooming, and making sure dogs get plenty of love and attention. I regularly look after my neighbour’s dog and cat, including walking the dog, feeding both pets, and spending time playing with them. I’ve also pet sat for my cousin’s dog and cat for four days while they were away, making sure they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I’ll always treat your pets as if they were my own. I have a flexible schedule and can provide pet care throughout the week, including weekends. As a pet owner myself, caring for animals is already part of my daily routine. I’m available for dog walking, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and pet sitting, and I’ll always make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, and care. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I have a friendly 5 year old Yorkshire Terrier and understand how important it is for pets to feel safe and loved. I will always follow your pet’s usual routine, including feeding times, walks, playtime, and any special instructions. Whether caring for pets in your home or taking them for walks, I will treat them as if they were my own and make sure they receive plenty of attention, care, and affection.

About: Hi! I'm Nat, a 25-year-old pet lover from Brazil. I grew up surrounded by animals and have always had a deep love and respect for them. My family owns a pet shop in Brazil, so l've been in contact with animals for as long as I can remember — helping out, learning about different breeds, and understanding how to care for them properly. At home, I have two dogs and four cats who are truly part of the family. Taking care of them has taught me responsibility, patience, and how to connect with each pet's unique personality. Now living in Ireland, l'm excited to share this love by caring for other people's pets as if they were my own. I offer pet care exclusively in the owner's home, where your furry friend feels most comfortable and safe. Whether it's for walks, playtime, feeding, or just some company, I'll make sure your pet is happy, relaxed, and well looked after while you're away. I can walk, take care of your pet in your home. I currently have my mornings free and attend classes from 1PM to 5PM, which means I’m also available in the evenings. On Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, I’m fully available all day for pet sitting (cats and dogs) and dog walking. My flexible schedule makes it easy to fit pet care into my daily routine, and I’m happy to adapt to your pet’s needs. I care for both cats and dogs with love, patience, and full attention to their individual needs. I have years of experience with my own cats and dogs in Brazil and have recently been looking after both cats and dogs here in Ireland. I always follow the pet’s routine carefully, including feeding, cleaning, playtime, and any special instructions. Whether your pet is playful or shy, I aim to create a calm and safe environment where they feel happy and secure just like at home.

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’ve loved animals, especially dogs, since I was a child. Growing up in Brazil, I often saw dogs living on the streets and always wished I could bring them home and give them the care and affection they deserved. I don’t have a dog of my own in Ireland yet, so pet sitting is a lovely opportunity for me to spend time with animals while also earning some extra income. I’m caring, patient and responsible, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality and making them feel safe, comfortable and loved. I understand that every pet has different needs and routines, and I’m happy to follow your instructions carefully. For me, looking after a pet is more than just a job — it’s a chance to be around animals that constantly teach us about love, loyalty and companionship. ❤️🐶 My spacious living room and secure grassy backyard provide a safe, stimulating environment for pets. With full-time availability since leaving my previous job, I can dedicate consistent attention to their daily routines, ensuring trust and comfort in my Cork home. In my home, I prioritize safety and comfort by providing a spacious living area for relaxation and a secure grassy backyard for exercise. Since I have full-time availability after leaving my previous job, I can maintain consistent routines, offer individualized attention, and ensure pets feel safe, loved, and well-cared-for in a calm domestic environment.

About: Hi there! My name is Diarmuid and I'm based in Bishopstown. I'd love to help you guys out with your pet sitting needs! My family have always had dogs in our home and I learned how to care for and train dogs from when I was a young kid. I have been teaching dogs basic commands such as recall, sit, stay and heel for many years and value the importance of making sure a dog's needs are met in terms of exercise, mental stimulation and of course play! In recent years I have taken care of friends pets while their owners are away which has involved toilet training, walking, feeding, playtime and trips out to the dog park and local forests. I am very passionate about the wellbeing of all animals and would love to help any dog that needs a walk or a sitter. I also have experience with looking after cats :) Services include dog walking and pet sitting. Please get in touch and we can arrange times that suit you and your pet. Thank you! I have been interested in dog training from a very young age and I am currently studying full time to be a qualified dog trainer. Unfortunately I can not offer any services from my home at this time and can only accept customers looking for dog walking and over night pet sitting

I have lots of flexibility with my current job and looking to add some cat time!. I'm free most weekday mornings and early afternoons. Availability for some weekends. Cats have lots of personality - I like to adapt to their needs from the cats who never want to interact with you to those that want cuddles and playtime.

FAQs for House Sitting - Cork

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Cork is €30 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between €28 and €63 per night.

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the pri hown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 94 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across the city of Cork. About 77% typically respond to requests within 60 minutes.

Enter your address and booking dates to see which sitters are available near you. You can also message multiple sitters to improve your chances of finding the right care.

House sitters can stay overnight in your home and care for your pets according to the routine you agree on before the booking.

Depending on your pets’ needs, this may include feeding, walks, play, companionship, medication, providing toilet or litter-box care, and keeping their usual schedule. Some sitters may also agree to light household tasks, such as collecting mail, watering plants, or putting bins out, but these are not automatically included.

During the Meet & Greet, discuss the sitter’s overnight schedule, how long your pets can comfortably be left alone, arrival and departure times, update preferences, and all tasks you would like to arrange. Confirm the agreed responsibilities through the Rover app before booking.

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 , which provides up to €25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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 .

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Cork choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a key safe or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest vet. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.

For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorisation form for your regular vet. An authorisation form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into your regular clinic.

Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.

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 .

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:

  • 79% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 84% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 88% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When contacting your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
