“Kat was brilliant! 😊 She was house sitting in my home because my cat is a bit hard to take care of. He usually sleeps during the day and hunts at night, but this is when he is hungry as well, so he wakes you up several times during the night while he comes in for food then goes out again. And he is needy during the day because he needs rubs and sometimes food too. He is also very picky. Sometimes, I had to put out five or more different plates for him to find the one he prefers to eat. And he likes wet food, so, you need to be around the house most of the time. Kat was taking so good car of him. And she left the house clean, organised, and just the way I passed it to her. Thanks you do much, Kat. You are great! 😊”

“Karen was totally amazing. My dog adored her and looked so happy and content when I came home. Karen treated my dog and my home as her own and is a wonderful, honest person. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending her to anyone. Will be using her again when I go away!”

“I honestly cannot recommend Sofía highly enough!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️ From the moment we met during the Meet & Greet, Sofía felt like a family friend. She immediately made both Vida and me feel comfortable, and it was obvious how naturally she connected with him. She cared for Vida as if he were family. She was incredibly loving, attentive, and proactive throughout, sending regular photos, videos, and updates without me even having to ask. It gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear from every update that Vida felt happy, relaxed, and completely comfortable with her. He was loved, cared for, and understood, which is everything you could hope for when leaving your dog with someone. Sofía also stayed at my house and was completely respectful, trustworthy, and responsible. I came back to a clean, calm home, and she had even left me a Coca-Cola as a thoughtful little gesture after I had mentioned how much I love it. It was such a kind, personal touch, and perfectly reflects the type of person she is. She is kind, reliable, communicative, responsible, and truly wonderful with animals. I could not have chosen a better person to take care of Vida. I would book Sofía again in the blink of an eye and feel incredibly lucky to have found her. If you are considering booking her, do not hesitate for a second. Your pet will be in the very best hands. Thanks for everything, Sofía. You are the best! Steph ❤️”

About: am an energetic, responsible, and caring dog lover based in Cork.

I am also very reliable and completely used to spending long hours on my feet. I will make sure your dog gets a fantastic, safe workout and returns home happy and well-cared for!

About: Hi, I'm Shannon, an experienced and caring pet sitter based in Cork. I've grown up with dogs and cats my entire life and have been fostering kittens for the past 6 years. My sister is a professional animal trainer, and I've learned valuable pet care skills from her. I understand that every pet is unique and will make sure your furry family member feels safe, happy, and loved while you're away. 🐾😊 Pet care fits into my routine as I work from home three days a week and in the office two days, allowing me flexibility and reliable availability. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, water, litter cleaning, walks, play, and any instructions given, ensuring comfort, safety, and consistency in their care.

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'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’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 8 when I got my first puppy. Since then I’ve had 2 more dogs, with a large breed puppy most recently joining. I have experience caring for large breed high energy dogs, but have also been trusted to care for friends and families smaller breed pets. When you trust me to care for your pet I will ensure I provide the utmost care I can. Whether it be drop in visits, just a walk here and there, or long term care I promise to provide the exact care your pet needs and make sure they don’t experience any changes in lifestyle so that they too can have a comfortable experience. I’m currently studying in university but have an easily worked around schedule. I have weekends free from university so can provide complete 1-1 care when needed. I currently have a new puppy in training so cannot petsit most pets at home unless they are comfortable with a large breed big energy puppy who never stops playing.

About: I grew up surrounded by dogs and farm animals, so caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. As an adult, I’ve continued sharing my life with both dogs and cats, and I truly enjoy spending time with them. I’m a biologist, and I’ve even had the chance to help with rabies vaccination campaigns in Africa alongside specialized veterinarians for several years. Friends and family often trust me to take care of their pets when they need a hand. I love going for walks, playing, and just hanging out with animals, it never feels like work to me! I am currently learning academic english in UCC and I am able to work after classes. I am available from 2pm onwards on Mondays and Tuesdays and the whole day on Fridays and weekends. I am free to overnight if needed. I am very flexible. I prefer to care for pets at the clients home; I live in a house that already have 3 dogs and bringing a extra pet will not be suitable. I will follow all the instructions from the client conscientiously on how the pet needs to be cared. Each pet have their own ways and it is very important to embrace their needs and personalities.

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.

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 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.

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 ❤️

Kat was an ideal house-sitter and will rebook her for the future when needed. She was great with the two dogs, have regular updates, kept the house in excellent condition and went the extra mile by washing the spare sheets and even restocking our milk. As our first time ever dog sitter, I cannot rate her high enough, if you are looking for a dog or dog+house sitter, you have found an excellent one.

FAQs for House Sitting - Cork

Frequently asked questions about Rover

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

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 ce s 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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Trust & Safety page .

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 tips for your first Meet & Greet .

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
