About: I have experience caring for family dogs and have looked after many dogs over the years. I am comfortable with different breeds and personalities and always make sure dogs feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I work from home, so I’ll be able to spend the whole day with the dog and take him/her for walks during my breaks. My boyfriend works until 4 p.m., so he’ll be home afterwards. We have a fenced yard with plenty of space for the dog to play and run around. Our neighbourhood is very quiet, and we have several parks nearby, which are perfect for walks and play.

“Orla minded our 10-month-old dog Nell for 10 days recently. As it was Nell's first time to go to a dogminder we were quite concerned how she would settle in or if she would fret. However, we needn't have worried. Orla looked after Nell really well and kept us updated with texts and photos. Nell seemed to have enjoyed herself and returned to us happy and relaxed. Thank you, Orla.”

About: Hi! I’m Irish and live on my own with my own dog, so I’m very used to having a four-legged companion around. I’m home every day, which means your dog will have plenty of company and won’t be left alone for long periods. I have a balcony where dogs can enjoy some fresh air, and toilet breaks and regular walks are a big part of our routine. We love exploring the many lovely local parks and getting plenty of fresh air and exercise. I’m caring, reliable and would love to give your dog a comfortable, happy home-from-home while you’re away. 🐾 My dog chills on the sofa and I have no problem for your dog to also feel at home on the furniture. I'm happy to answer any of your questions before you feel comfortable to confirm any bookings. As a dog owner myself, I appreciate the worry in finding a trusted minder, so I will try my best to keep your mind at peace 🐶 I'm currently working part time from home, so your fur baby will always have company and regular walks daily. We usually take a morning walk along the canal where the dogs can meet other dog walkers and have a good sniff around. Then in the late afternoon we go to one of the many local parks for a run around and game of fetch. If your dog is best kept on lead, this is no problem. I have a small balcony where my dog currently uses for toileting, as well as regular walks. I live near many beautiful parks for dog walks and ball throwing, as well as the canal which my dog enjoys most in the mornings.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and taken care of neighbours dogs as well as my own. I currently don’t have any pets and taking care of others dogs / giving them lots of attention and long walks is something I look forward to! I work hybrid and usually in the office at the start of the week working from home the second half of the week which is ideal for taking care of dogs. I don’t work weekends and am free to give ultimate attention to them! I have a walled / gated back garden area that is private that I would supervise the dogs in. The flat is small but combined with the outdoor area plenty of room for a furry friend!

About: *Due to the size of our apartment, we can comfortably accommodate cats or small dogs.
* About us: hello we are Conor and Jade 👋🏻 We both grew up around animals and believe that animals are a part of the family! 💗 Our experience goes beyond pet ownership. Conor worked as a Cat Surrender Liaison with the CDPA, supporting cats and their owners through difficult situations, as well as volunteering as a home screener for the DSPCA, assessing potential homes for rescue animals. These roles gave him valuable insight into animal behaviour, welfare, and the individual needs of pets from all backgrounds. Conor works hybrid from home and Jade works full-time remote from home, so we always ensure that at least one of us is home when we are pet-sitting, to ensure the animal gets all the companionship and attention they need! We will treat your pet like it's our own and ensure it gets all the love, care and attention while you're away! We also do not have any of our pets in our apartment.
Our space / nearby park: We live in a two-bedroom apartment with an open plan kitchen and sitting room area that we own in Palmerstown, Dublin 20 🏡 We have a shared garden in the apartment complex for your pet to play in that is enclosed by fences and a front gate. We also live a 5 minute walk away from a large park (Waterstown Park) that your dog can run around in! It is a large and quiet park with an enclosed dog park also. 
As our apartment is best suited to smaller pets, we can comfortably accommodate cats and small dogs. This allows us to give each pet the attention, care, and space they deserve, ensuring they feel relaxed and at home while you're away. Whether your pet loves cuddles on the sofa, playtime, long walks, or simply having a calm companion nearby, we'll make sure they're cared for.
Our motivation: We would love to have our own dogs and cats one day, however, we are not in the position to have full time pets yet. But we still have the desire to spend quality time with animals! Whenever we get the chance we get the chance we take the opportunity to spend time with animals. We pet sit for friends and family often, and we treat them like members of our family 💗 We are active people and genuinely love getting out for long walks with dogs!
We understand that every pet is unique, and we treat every animal in our care as if they were our own. Whether your pet is energetic and adventurous, shy and sensitive, or somewhere in between, we'll make sure they receive the love, patience, and attention they deserve. Our goal is always to give owners complete peace of mind while ensuring their pets are happy, comfortable, and cared for. I work full time remote from home. My partner also works hybrid, working from home most days in the week. As a result, there will always be someone at home when we are minding your dog. I go on a daily walks to the large park nearby our apartment so we will ensure that your dog will get daily exercise. We live in a two-bedroom apartment, therefore, we are only accepting small dogs for dog boarding. We do not own any pets and we will only ever dog-sit one dog at a time. This will ensure that we can focus our full care anc attention on your dog. We have a fenced garden at the back of our apartment. We also live 5 minutes walk away from a large park, Waterstown Park which has approx 4km radius. There is also a dog park in this park, where dogs can be let off the lead and run and play freely. On our daily walks with your dog, we will ensure to keep them on the lead. We will never let your dog off the lead in the park or allow them in the dog park without your permission.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and I am used to all types of breeds and sizes. I have a working cocker spaniel called Ralph who I recently said goodbye to when I moved from the UK to Dublin who I house trained and crate trained. I will treat all dogs like my own and understand that they have different needs. I’m seeking canine company since moving to Dublin and would love to offer my services to kind and gentle doggies. I mostly work from home most of the time and love to go for a walk in the morning, at lunch and in the evening. The only day I’m in the office is a Wednesday but I can flex this where needed. I live next to a beautiful park which is perfect for dogs and I love to explore new places and go to the beach at the weekend for any dogs who would enjoy that too. For boarding, I have a spacious apartment with a balcony and next to a park which is very safe. I’m happy to follow any rules that you set at home like no sofa or sleeping on the bed (but if they are allowed I will absolutely let them join me!). I’m a respectable home owner and will take good care of any home when dog sitting.

We were apprehensive leaving Kenzi for a day and overnight as she has never stayed with anyone else but us. However, we need not have worried as her stay with Joyce was a great success. Joyce is so friendly and relaxed and clearly knows dogs. She sent us photos of Kenzi at various stages of her stay with her, reassuring us that Kenzi was relaxed and happy in her new environment. Will definitely be booking Joyce again. Thanks Joyce

Karen was absolutely amazing with our Border Collie, Nori! We had to travel to Italy for a wedding and were really struggling to find someone who was comfortable looking after an unspayed female, especially as there was a chance she could come into heat during our stay. Karen was a lifesaver! From the very beginning, she made us feel completely at ease, and Nori felt right at home with her. She took such great care of her and made sure she had everything she needed. It was clear that Nori was happy, relaxed, and very well looked after. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to leave Nori with, and we would absolutely trust Karen with her again in the future.

FAQs for Dog Boarding - Dublin

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Dublin is €40 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between €28 and €52 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 448 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across the city of Dublin. About 92% 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.

Finding the right boarding environment is all about peace of mind. Boarding with a sitter on Rover helps you find a cosy experience in a real home for your dog.

When searching for a host, look for a sitter who:

  • Offers a secure, home-like environment that is clean and welcoming
  • Adheres to your dog’s established routine for meals, activity, and rest
  • Possesses relevant experience with your pet’s specific breed, size, and personality
  • Maintains clear communication regarding the frequency of photo and message updates

Don’t skip the Meet & Greet! The free Meet & Greet is the best way to see where your dog will sleep and who they might play with.

While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up to date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be 'boarding ready'. Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.

Many sitters in Dublin ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines such as Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Infectious Canine Hepatitis (Adenovirus), and Leptospirosis.

By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.

Some boarding sitters stay with the dogs in their care for most of the day, while others may step out for work, errands or other commitments. Each sitter’s schedule and the amount of time your dog may be left alone will vary, so it is important to agree expectations before the stay begins.

Before booking, tell the sitter how long your dog can comfortably be left alone and confirm their typical schedule during the stay. Adding the maximum number of hours your dog can be left alone to their profile can also help sitters decide whether they are the right match.

Boarding does not automatically include round-the-clock supervision. If your dog needs someone present at all times, ask whether the sitter offers constant care or 24/7 care. This may require a separate arrangement and may not be included in the sitter’s standard boarding rate.

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.

is available by phone or email in English, French, German, and Spanish from Mon-Sat 9am to 6pm. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a veterinary professional or offer other resources to help.

If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.

sitters on Rover , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three- or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-in visits, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12.00 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our booking protection will kick in. This means you'll get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.

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 .
