“Tiago looked after our two cats so well and was excellent at communicating when he was dropping in, how much they ate etc. He sent us videos everyday and I felt so assured our boy were being well looked after. I look forward to booking Tiago again 😉”

“Adèle a été une superbe catsitter ! Elle s’est occupée de ma chatte pendant un peu plus de 15 jours en garde de nuit à mon domicile et tout s’est vraiment très bien passé. Bulle est allée tres vite vers elle dès les premiers instants de la rencontre alors qu’elle est tres craintive. J’ai pu partir l’esprit tranquille : elle a été très attentionnée, sérieuse et adorable avec Bubulle. J’ai également beaucoup apprécié d’avoir régulièrement des nouvelles et des photos, c’était très rassurant. J’ai retrouvé mon appartement parfaitement rangé et propre avec un petit chat en pleine forme. 😊 Je recommande vivement Adèle sans hésiter en particulier pour les animaux craintifs. Merci pour Bubulle !! 🐱💕”

About: Hi everyone. I'm Irvin, a 36 years old Mexican currently living in Ireland and studying English in the mornings. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, because I know exactly how I would want my own dog to be treated: with so much love, patience and a lot of attention. The dog in my profile picture is Ruffo, a 7 years old schnauzer who taught me that life without a four-legged friend isn't life at all. Being away from him made me realize how much I genuinely love being around animals, and that's one of the reasons I decided to become a pet sitter here. I have more than 10 years of experience taking care of dogs and cats of different sizes and temperaments. I'm a kind, sensitive, and very responsible person who loves animals. I offer in-home pet sitting and walking services. I'm happy to get covered in fur, take them on fun walks and play a lot with them. I can take care of cats as well. In addition, I have training to give medicaments to pets, to apply inyections and wash them. Of course I can adapt to the owners' rules. With me, your pet will be treated like family, because is the less I expect for a pet sitter. I'm currently living in Dublin and studying English in the mornings, so I have enough time to take care of your pet. I offer in-home pet sitting and walking services.

“Ivana has taken amazing care of my two cats. She's very responsive and took my spontaneous request very quickly. As a cat mom herself, she made sure to follow all directions for my cats in great detail and sent me lovely messages and pictures of my cats ☺️ my cats were happy and relaxed once I arrived back at home. Thank you so much, Ivana!”

About: I have been looking after animals and housesitting since 2018, and this year I have been using Trusted House Sitters whilst overseas. I have cared for active dogs, animals who need extra care and medication, and kittens. I am available to drop in and feed or walk your pet for the month of October I work remote and I generally get up early to work and have the afternoon free. However my hours are flexible so I can move them around to cater best to you and your pet. Depending on your animals needs, I am happy to separate feeding (if multiple animals), crate your animals, and take them for a walk if need be. I prefer a list / note if there is extra care required (medication etc) so that your pet is given the best care :)

About: Hi. I'm Lily, a Mexican currently living in Ireland and studying English in the mornings. The dog in my profile picture is Ruffo, a beautiful 7 years old Schnauzer who has been with me for over 5 years and taught me that life without a four-legged friend isn't life at all. I'm a kind, sensitive, and responsible person who loves dogs. I offer in-home pet sitting and walking services. I'm happy to get covered in fur, take them on fun walks, and play with them. I adapt to the owners' rules. Can you lend me a paw? I currently study English for 3 hours every morning from Monday to Friday, so I'm available in the afternoons, evenings, and weekends. We can discuss any requests. I know how difficult it is to find someone to leave your best friend with, I promise not only to take care of your pet as if it were my own but also to let it meet this crazy human and give it all the love I have saved up.

About: I have a deep love for animals and valuable hands-on experience. In Argentina, I volunteered for a dog rescue organization called "Patitas de Perros", where I walked and cared for rescue dogs of all sizes and temperaments. This taught me how to read dog body language and safely handle energetic or nervous pups. Here in Dublin, I offer dog walking and pet sitting exclusively at the owners' homes. Because I live in a shared house, I cannot host pets at my place, but I am more than happy to come to yours! When house-sitting or doing drop-in visits, my priority is keeping your dog's normal routine to minimize stress. I am very responsible, and I treat owners' homes with the utmost respect, ensuring the space is secure and clean. As an English student, I have a very flexible schedule to give your dog all the attention and love they need. I am currently an English student in Dublin, which gives me a very flexible schedule to care for your dog. I am available for dog walking and home visits during the week, both in the mornings and afternoons, as well as on weekends. I can easily adapt my study routine to fit your pet's needs and ensure they get their daily exercise and companionship. Since I live in a shared house, I offer services exclusively at the owner's home or outdoors for walks. When I am at your house, I treat your home with the utmost respect, keeping everything clean and strictly secure. During walks, I always keep dogs on a leash and use my rescue experience to read their body language, ensuring they are safe, calm, and happy at all times.

About: I have lifelong experience caring for animals—I currently have two cats and have lived with felines all my life. I also own a 5-year-old Chow Chow who requires specialized daily care, including medication management, coat grooming, and support for separation anxiety and Leishmaniasis. Additionally, I have hands-on experience handling PPP (strong/large) breeds, so I am physically confident, calm, and fully capable of safely walking and managing heavy or powerful dogs. I am well-trained in basic dog commands, administering medicine, and providing dedicated, reliable care tailored to your pet's unique needs. Please note that I only offer house sitting at the owner's home. Unfortunately, due to my own pets, I am unable to host any animals in my own home as they wouldn't be compatible. I would be more than happy to stay at your place and take great care of your pet there! A typical day starts with a refreshing morning walk, customized to your pet's size, energy level, and physical needs. After returning, I stick strictly to their feeding schedule and administer any necessary daily medications with extreme care. During the day, since I work remotely, your pet will enjoy constant companionship, mental stimulation through interactive games, and structured rest. We'll end the day with another long walk to explore local parks and plenty of affection to make them feel safe, relaxed, and right at home. I treat your home like my own—keeping it clean, organized, and secure. You will receive regular photo updates, clear communication, and total confidence that both your pet and home are in caring, responsible hands.

About: Hi! I’m Elena, and animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember.

I grew up with my grandparents’ English Setter, Rocky, who was by my side from the day I was born, so some of my happiest childhood memories involve having a four-legged best friend around. Later, my family rescued Alaska, our cat, when she was just one month old and raised her from a tiny kitten. Today I live with my own cat, Zuki, whom we adopted at 2 years old — she’s now 4 and very much a pillar of our little family!

While I don’t have professional pet-care experience, I have a lifetime of experience living with and caring for animals. I genuinely love being around them — making an animal feel happy, safe and loved brings me just as much joy as it seems to bring them.

I believe every pet is different, so my care is always tailored to their normal routine and personality. Visits can include feeding and fresh water, walks, litter cleaning, playtime, cuddles, quiet company or simply keeping them comfortable while you’re away. I’m also very happy to send you photos and little updates!

I’m most comfortable caring for cats and small to medium-sized dogs. I prefer to only take on pets I’m confident I can care for safely and properly, so you can trust that I’ll always be honest about whether I’m the right sitter for your pet.

I work on a rotating roster, which actually gives me flexibility across both weekdays and weekends. I can travel to your home and can also stay overnight when needed.

Most importantly, I’ll care for your pet with the patience, attention and affection I would want someone to give my own. ❤️🐾 I work on a rotating roster rather than a traditional Monday–Friday schedule, which gives me flexibility across both weekdays and weekends. My availability changes depending on my shifts, but I’m happy to discuss dates and find a time that works for both you and your cat. I can offer home visits and house sitting, depending on your needs. I’m also happy to follow your cat’s usual feeding, play and bedtime routine as closely as possible, so their days feel as normal and comfortable as possible while you’re away. For cat sitting, I believe the best place for a cat is usually their own familiar home. I’ll take the time to understand your cat’s routine, personality, feeding instructions and any little things you’d like me to know before you leave. I’ll make sure they have fresh food and water, a clean litter tray and plenty of attention, while always respecting their boundaries if they prefer some space. I’ll also be careful with doors, windows and access to the home, and I’ll treat your house with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’m happy to send regular photos and updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing your cat is safe, comfortable and cared for.

Paz is wonderful with cats too! Our cat can be very shy and scared at first but I was astonished with how quickly she opened up to Paz when I received videos of them playing together and seeing my cat letting Paz give her some petting and love! Thank you so much Paz for looking after our baby fur! Guinny loved you and we will definitely always look for your support when we are away! ❤️🙏🏽

FAQs for Cat Sitting - Dublin

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Cat Sitting in Dublin is €17 per Visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between €13 and €25 per Visit.

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 ce s hown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 317 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across the city of Dublin. About 91% 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.

Of course! Many sitters on Rover are experienced in caring for multiple pets simultaneously, whether you have a pack of dogs, a clowder of cats, or a mix of both.

Look for sitters who highlight multi-pet expertise or check for verified reviews from other Dublin pet parents with similar pet households.

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.

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.

You can find what you need to review a sitter on their profile before booking with them. Each sitter’s profile on Rover shows verified reviews, identity verification, and ratings to give a glimpse of how their previous visits went. You can also use the Meet & Greet to walk through your home, identifying which areas, like your bedroom, are off-limits or not. Requesting details of your home security through the app can also be a good way to have your sitter keep you updated about your home.

If you have security cameras or smart doorbells, Rover asks that you disclose them to sitters before you book.

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. On Rover:

  • 77% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 80% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 71% 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.
