“Kathryn was very professional and caring to our puppy. We requested her to call over for a bathroom break and to give her her food/water. She went above and beyond and cleaned up a small accident our puppy had indoors. Will definitely be requesting her to visit again. Thanks again”
About: I am a very cheerful, empathetic, and responsible person. I've been surrounded by pets my entire life, I have my own dog and have always taken care of him with all the love and attention in the world. My family also fully trusts me to look after their dogs whenever they travel or need a hand. I completely understand how important our furry friends are as family members, so your dog will get plenty of fun walks, lots of cuddles, and a completely safe environment. As a student, I have the flexibility to give them the care and company they deserve, treating them exactly as if they were my own. Since I am a student, my schedule is highly flexible. I have plenty of free time to dedicate to playing, walking, and keeping your dog company. I am fully available on weekends, and during the week I can easily organize my study time to ensure your pet gets all the attention, bathroom breaks, and care they need throughout the day. Since I offer my sitting services at the owner's home, your dog gets the best of both worlds: staying comfortable in their familiar environment, while still enjoying plenty of fun outdoor walks, exercise, and playtime. Safety and trust are my absolute priorities. I am highly responsible, always keep a close eye on the pets in my care during our walks, and strictly follow your specific routines, feeding schedules, and household rules. You can have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and receiving dedicated, one-on-one attention both inside the house and out on our adventures

About: Having grown up surrounded by animals—from dogs and cats to rabbits, turtles, and fish—pets have always been a huge part of my heart. I treat every single pet I meet with the exact same love, warmth, and dedicated attention as if they were my own family. I’m reliable, energetic, and truly excited to make sure your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for. Looking forward to having a lovely chat with you! My schedule is very flexible to fit your needs! I’m available full-time from Friday to Sunday, and I’m available mornings and evenings from Monday to Thursday.

During house visits, I look after all the essentials: feeding, refreshing water bowls, cleaning litter boxes or cages, administering routine care, and spending plenty of quality time giving your pets playtime, cuddles, and companionship so they never feel lonely.
About: Hi everyone im Vicky and my friends and family have described me as loving dogs more than people. I grew up with dogs mainly hunting breeds such as springer spaniels and red setters but love all breeds big and small. At the moment we have two dogs Missy who is a Brittany spaniel and Susie a working cocker but more often than not my uncles collie Rubble who is a good boy is the girls third wheel. I have a three year old little boy who is as mad about dogs as I am. The dogs are all house dogs and are allowed on the furniture Missy sleeps in the bed with myself and my husband. I walk my dogs off lead in the fields surrounding my house twice a day for about an hour each time and will do the same for your pooch if they are our guest. Our dogs are part of the family and any dog we are caring for would be treated the same. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact me or if you would like to arrange a meet and greet send me a message looking forward to hearing from you and your pet! I currently am a stay at home mum to my three year old who is as mad about dogs as I am we have two dogs of our own and my uncles dog during the day and they are with me inside my home at all times they are walked off lead for one hour in the morning and one hour in the afternoon in nearby private fields. I have a large garden at the bottom of a cul de sac we do have a gate that will be closed if necessary but I do not allow the dogs outside without me and so your pet along with mine will be supervised at all times are dogs are inside dogs and are allowed in every room and on all furniture and so your dog will have the same privileges. I will walk your pet along with my own dogs twice a day and will keep them on the lead until they become used to the terrain or I can always walk them on the lead if necessary.
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: Since I was 12, I’ve been walking a Jack Russell several times a week. Over the years, I've also cared for my friends' dogs while they were away. Now that I’ve moved from the Netherlands to Cork, I really miss being around dogs, so I’m looking forward to meeting yours! I started studying at UCC this September, so the walks/visits will be scheduled around my college timetable. I'm fully available on most fridays, saturdays, and sundays. I'm happy to visit your house to walk your dog, play with them for a bit, or stay longer if needed. I'll make sure they get the attention and exercise they need.
About: Hi there! I'm Sergio, a passionate dog lover living in Cork. I grew up surrounded by pets and have years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. Why choose me to care for your dog? Personalized Care: I treat every dog as if they were my own family, making sure they feel safe, calm, and happy. Active Walks: I love staying active and exploring local parks like Cork Lough, Holland park, Tramore Valley park. Your dog will get plenty of exercise, playtime,and fresh air. Safety & Updates: Your peace of mind is my priority. I will send you regular photo and video updates throughout our time together so you always know how your pup is doing. Services I offer:Dog Walking: Energetic 30 or 60-minute walks tailored to your dog’s pace and needs.House Visits & Daycare: Feeding, fresh water, companionship, and belly rubs while you are at work or away. I have a flexible schedule and am always happy to arrange a free Meet & Greet before taking on a job. Feel free to message me with any questions My routine is very organized and flexible. I study English in the mornings, which leaves me completely free and available every day of the week starting from 1:00 PM onwards. This allows me to dedicate my afternoons and evenings fully to pet care, ensuring I can offer timely drop-ins, house sitting, or energetic afternoon walks My approach depends on the service: for walks, I keep dogs safe on leash in green areas; for house sitting, I follow their exact home routine and keep them company; and for drop-ins, I check in, feed them, and play with them.
About: Adoro los animales, los que tengo más cerca para interactuar son los perros y gatos. Desde hace 4 años le cuido a mi mejor amiga sus perritos soy amante de los animales (¡en casa tengo a mis propios consentidos, Nero y Cleo! 🐾). Como mis mañanas están ocupadas con mis estudios (estoy libre a partir de la 1:00 PM), tengo disponibilidad todas las tardes para ayudarles con el paseo de sus perritos por la zona. Me encanta caminar, soy una persona muy responsable, puntual y paciente. Si necesitas alguien de confianza que saque a pasear a tu peludo y se asegure de que regrese feliz y ejercitado, Mi perro anda suelto en mi hogar. Pero en el momento que deba cuidarlo en tú casa quedo atenta a las instrucciones porque todos tenemos diferentes rutinas.

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: 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.
The median cost per Visit for pet sitting in Cork is €14

I was so happy to have Laura look after Shadow. I had only adopted Shadow a few days before Laura arrived to my house and she made him feel so relaxed and contented. She was absolutely amazing, even bought him a toy. She kept me updated and sent me pictures. I would have no hesitation in recommending her and I will certainly be asking her to mind Shadow again for me. Thank you so much Laura.
I was absolutely delighted with the care my cat received! 🐱❤️ From the moment I left, her sitter made me feel completely at ease. She sent regular updates and sweet little check-ins, so I always knew my cat was safe, happy, and being well looked after. Those messages made it so much easier to relax and truly enjoy my time away without worrying. She was also incredibly thoughtful, going above and beyond with the little details. 🥰 It was clear that she genuinely cared about my cat and treated her as if she were her own. I came home to a very happy, content, and well-cared-for cat, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for more. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, reliable, and caring. I’ll definitely be using her again! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Marcela took great care of my 6-month-old kitten for 8 days which gave me peace of mind to enjoy my holidays. She structured her daily visits according to my kitten’s schedule, incorporating her own style and giving him a lot of love. I think Ziggy already misses her ❤️
Elena was fantastic and we really felt at ease while on holiday knowing our cat was being taken care of. She kept us updated regularly with photos and messages of how our little feline was doing which was really appreciated. She still looks for her every time someone comes through the door! I would highly recommend Elena
Kathryn was very professional and caring to our puppy. We requested her to call over for a bathroom break and to give her her food/water. She went above and beyond and cleaned up a small accident our puppy had indoors. Will definitely be requesting her to visit again. Thanks again
Helena is very kind and gentle to our girl Lucky. She give us a regular updates, clips and photos, That give us assurance that Lucky is well look and receiving lots of TLC while we are away. We highly recommend Helena and We will definitely book her again...Thank you Helena for giving us peace of mind while we are on away.
Thanks to Erin for looking after Bailey so beautifully. I left a few instructions for Erin on Baileys care and she followed every one, he is not the best of eaters and he even put on a little weight which is great. I would highly recommend Erin for pet sitting and hope to get her to sit again in the future :)
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.
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.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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.
