I can’t recommend Gerard highly enough! He’s so kind and caring, and my dog absolutely loves staying with him. It’s such a relief knowing my dog is happy, well looked after, and having fun. I really appreciate the photo updates during the day — they always make me smile! Everything is always easy, reliable, and stress-free.

Lorrayne and Francini took such great care of our puppy Merlot! We had regular updates and pictures throughout the day which was lovely to see and he was clearly so happy in their care and with their company! Would highly recommend their services.

About: You can call me Tyra! I have a lifetime of hands-on experience, from growing up with dogs to working summers at my sister’s professional pet salon. I’ve cared for any fluffy babies ranging from high-energy puppies to gentle seniors, and have multiple experiences with pet sitting. I offer not just love and attention, but the trained eye to notice when something’s off because to me, they are family. Pet care fits naturally into my routine: I can work from home, so I’m around throughout the day for regular walks, playtime, and attention. Living near the heart of Dublin City Centre, I have easy access to dog-friendly paths and green spaces, making daily walks a joy for both me and the pups I care for. Whether it’s a quick stroll or a long outing, I love weaving pet care seamlessly into my everyday life. When caring for pets in my home, I aim to create a calm, cozy environment where they can feel safe. Through routine walks, play, and cuddles, I keep a consistent schedule for feeding, bathroom breaks, and downtime. Always tuned in to their individual needs and personality.

About: I love animals of all kinds. Growing up I always wanted to have a dog but my parents would not let me 🤭 Now as an adult I love taking care of other people’s animals ❤️ I love to walk everyday, so when I’m taking care of a pet I will take them with me on fun days outside. I work part-time in a flexible schedule, so I organize my routine based on the pets I'm taking care of. I've been taking care of both dogs and cats for 2 years. I live in a comfortable flat with my wife, with a small garden in the back and a fence. I have an organized home and a cleaning person who helps me from time to time

About: I like everything about animals. I grew up spending a lot of time in my family’s farm playing with dogs and cats, and other farm animals. 🐴🐈 I am super energetic and work with kids and as a soccer coach for a living. Playing with dogs and cats is one my favorite things to do in my spare time. I live in a comfortable flat with a backyard I’m studying in the morning and available after that. My routine is calm and flexible. During the weekends I’m also available when needed. I ensure a safe, calm, and loving environment for every pet. I follow all owner instructions, maintain routines, and prioritize cleanliness, attention, and comfort so pets feel secure and happy.

About: About Jaine Animals have always been a very important part of my life. I grew up surrounded by dogs and, even today, my three beloved companions — Ted (a Pug), Amora (a Black Labrador), and Iron (an American Bully) — live with my parents in Brazil while I am living in Ireland. Being away from them has made me appreciate even more how important pets are: they are truly part of the family. Having cared for animals throughout my entire life, I understand that every pet has its own personality, routine, and needs. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, playful, or prefers a calmer environment, I will always treat them with patience, kindness, respect, and genuine care. My goal is to make both you and your pet feel comfortable and confident while you are apart. I will care for your pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and well looked after at all times. As an added bonus, I am also a professional photographer and I love capturing natural, candid moments of pets. During our time together, I can take beautiful photos so you can receive updates and special memories of your furry friend. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! Now, I have adopted an Irish cat and I am completely in love with him. I am sure that I will take care of your pet with the same love, affection and attention that I give to my own. I have an extra skill as a photographer and I love photographing pets. So, in addition to taking care of your pet with all the love and affection, I can take beautiful photos of your friend! But nothing your dog/cat wouldn’t want — I value candid photos that showcase the true personality and joy of pets. I believe that capturing these authentic moments creates lasting memories for their owners. Plus, I always maintain a safe and comfortable environment for the animals, ensuring that they feel happy and at ease during our sessions.

About: Hey everyone, I'm Vini and I can take care of your furry loved one! I’ve always had a dog in my life, so I know how stressful it can be to leave your pet when you go away. You can count on me to make every effort so your pet has a peaceful, fun time while you’re off!” I've had a few dogs in my lifetime: a spiky Cocker Spaniel always running after birds, a chill Golden Retriever (the happiest dog I've ever seen), and a Belgian Malinois — or 'The Devil,' as my mom used to call him. All of them had different personalities and energy levels, and this has taught me how to deal with different personalities and needs. So no matter your dog's quirks, we'll make sure they feel right at home. My apartment is quiet, cozy, and has plenty of space, with a balcony that gets 8+ hours of sunlight a day and a massive rooftop where your pet can run freely without having to worry about a thing! Fairview Park is only a 10-minute walk from our place, and Griffith Park is 25 minutes away. I have great options if your dog loves going for walks. I also have easy parking available for drop-offs and pick-ups. I only take 2 pets at a time to ensure they get the level of attention and care they need. Walks will be done according to the owners advice and dogs must be vaccinated and used to living indoors. I'm into dog training and can teach your dog some tricks if you wish :) Staying at a new place is always a different experience for every pet. I'll make sure that they have a comfortable and secure stay, being careful not to overstimulate them, as this is critical for pets in new environments. Fairview Veterinary Hospital is nearby in case of any emergencies. I work from home full time, so your pet is never left alone and has a caring and fun company 24/7 while you're away. I have a big balcony that gets sun all day and a massive fenced rooftop where your pet can run freely with safety and no concerns.

About: I’ve spent over half my life surrounded by animals, as my neighbor growing up was a vet. I currently don’t have any pets, so your dog or cat would get my full undivided attention! I’ve personally potty trained two dogs (with a lot of treats and perseverance!), and I genuinely love caring for animals. I also have experience with senior dogs, and administering oral medication. I treat every pet like they’re my own, with patience, attention, and a lot of affection. I work full-time but with a flexible in-office schedule so I can be at home on the days where your pet is staying with me. I am able to provide toilet breaks every 2-3 hours, or more frequently for puppies. I live in a flat with a balcony on the 3rd floor which is accessible by elevator and stairs. There is also a fenced courtyard in the building with a garden where pets are free to play.

About: I only take one dog at a time so your baby gets all the attention and love they need. Love is all we need. 🫶 I’m Jessica, and I absolutely love dogs! I’m super caring and will do my best to keep your pup happy. I have over 15 years of experience with dogs and had two of my own. 

Django, my Schnauzer, had a heart condition that required special care, so I have experience handling medication and responding to emergency situations. Nola, my rescue dog, suffered severe abuse from her previous owner, which led to panic attacks. Her episodes are managed with CBD oil, a cozy blanket, soothing words, and lots of cuddles. Because of this, I’m also well-versed in helping anxious dogs feel safe and secure. I always visit Nola, she’s been with my sister. (you can see photos of Django and Nola in my photo gallery!). My apartment is 60 meters square (please see some photos of my place in my photo gallery), is very central, near Jervis, with easy access to great walking spots. There’s a green area just a minute away behind The Church Bar, perfect for quick outings. If your dog is energetic, I’m happy to go for up to five walks a day. Otherwise, we can enjoy a cozy day full of cuddles.

I would highly recommend the services of Carlos and Francesca for anyone seeking exceptional care for their dog. From the moment we dropped Bailey off this morning, we were warmly welcomed into their lovely home, which immediately put us at ease. They carefully followed all of our instructions and clearly treated Bailey with kindness, attention, and genuine care. It’s clear they are animal lovers and are knowledgeable about dogs. We especially appreciated the thoughtful photo and video updates throughout his stay, showing his playtime and outdoor walks. It was clear they took great care to ensure Bailey’s comfort, safety, and individual needs were always a priority. We will definitely be booking their services again very soon. 🐾❤️

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life, and caring for them has always been a natural part of who I am. I grew up in the countryside in Chile, where we were lucky to have four German Shepherds and one Dachshund—so I learned from a young age how to understand, respect, and care for different personalities and energy levels. Over the years, I also had the opportunity to care for Dobermans, a breed I truly love. I looked after them for three years at my family home, gaining experience with larger, more active dogs that require structure, attention, and confidence. When I became independent, I was gifted a brown Dachshund, who I have cared for since she was just 3 months old—she is my little princess. Although I don’t currently live with my dogs, they remain a very important part of my life. Friends and neighbors have also trusted me to care for their dogs, including Chihuahuas, Border Collies, Dobermans, and Dachshunds. This has given me valuable experience with a wide range of temperaments and energy levels, allowing me to adapt to each dog’s unique. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and always make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved. 🐶💛 Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I work remotely in the afternoons, which means I have my mornings and early afternoons fully available to dedicate to dog walking and pet care. I usually start my day early, so I can easily adapt to different schedules depending on each dog’s needs—whether that’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or spending a few hours keeping them company. Since I already have a structured routine, incorporating pet care is something I truly enjoy rather than something I have to fit in. I’m also flexible during the week and can organize my schedule in advance to ensure each pet receives the time, attention, and care they need. For longer stays or in-home care, I’m happy to adjust my routine to make sure pets feel comfortable and well looked after. I always adapt my care depending on each pet’s routine, personality, and the service required, whether it’s in my home or in the owner’s home. When caring for pets in my home, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed. I live in an apartment with a secure inner courtyard and a terrace, so they can enjoy fresh air in a safe environment. I maintain a calm and clean space, follow their usual feeding schedule, and ensure they get enough exercise, playtime, and affection. When I care for pets in their own home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent as possible. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding, walks, medication if needed, and any specific habits they have. I also make sure they feel accompanied, respected, and stress-free in their familiar environment. In both cases, I pay close attention to their behavior and needs, making sure they are happy, safe, and well cared for at all times. I also like to keep owners updated with messages or photos, so they feel reassured while they are away.

Gigi’s stay with Bernadette could not have been better. We both received a fantastic welcome and it was obvious from the first minute that Bernadette and Thomas were 100% doggie people. We had only adopted Gigi 4 weeks ago and were worried that leaving her for the day would set her back however on collecting her she was in fabulous form having had a walk in the local park and the freedom of exploring their lovely enclosed garden. All in all she had a fabulous time and is looking forward to her next visit.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Dublin

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Dublin on Rover is €28.75 per day (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 358 sitters on Rover offering Doggy Day Care across Dublin. Enter your Eircode to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Think of doggy day care as your dog’s fun, supervised play date that happens to fit into your working day. Day care through Rover takes place in a real home. This offers a calmer and more personalised environment for your pup.

A typical day can include companionship, one-to-one attention, and same-day collection and drop-off. Many sitters can also offer structured routines and exercise throughout the day. For recurring, weekly day care, sitters will include photo updates so you can see your dog in their element.

Here are tips for finding the ideal day care fit for your dog:

  • For some small dogs: In-home day care can be the perfect fit. Look for sitters whose 'can host' section only lists dogs weighing 0–7 kilograms and/or 7–18 kilograms. During your Meet & Greet, ask about play areas based on dog size and energy level.
  • For high-energy dogs: The ideal doggy day care can offer scheduled breaks and outdoor spaces or activities. You can also find sitters who host multiple dogs to satisfy your pup’s socialising needs.
  • For dogs who prefer human-only companionship: Use the filters 'Doesn't own a dog' and 'Only accepts one pet at a time' to find the right care.

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 pet sitter, walker, and boarding sitter on Rover must pass an identity verification before they can list their services. An identity verification confirms that the sitter is who they say they are based on their documents.

Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to €25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit our Trust & Safety page .

Play groups can be an option when you book with a day care sitter through Rover. Many sitters do host a small number of dogs at the same time. Smaller dog packs are generally safer, more fun, and ideal for dogs who enjoy playtime but also want to relax throughout the day. When looking for your dog’s pack, check the sitter’s profile to see if they 'Accept multiple clients' or have their own dogs. Then during the Meet & Greet, you can see whether your dog is a good fit for their social circle!

Many sitters on Rover can help with collection and drop-off! You can find the cost of collection and drop-off in their profile under 'See additional rates'.

If you found a day care close to your home in Dublin, you can also explore dog walking as an add-on service, which allows your sitter to collect or drop off your dog from their home to yours. Add your location to the search field to find sitters near you and message them directly about transport alternatives.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cut-off time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will apply. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
