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.

About: Over the past few years, I’ve cared for pets for friends and family, mainly cats and small to medium-sized dogs. My experience includes daily feeding, litter cleaning, playtime, and dog walking. I’m attentive to changes in behaviour, appetite, or mood, and I always prioritise pets’ safety and wellbeing. Pet care fits into my routine through pre-planned time blocks. I’m usually available for morning and evening visits on weekdays, and I have more flexibility during weekends. I always confirm time in advance to ensure consistency for each pet. When caring for pets in a pet owner’s home, I always prioritise safety, routine, and respect for the space. I carefully follow all instructions provided, including feeding schedules, walking routines, and any specific preferences or restrictions. I make sure doors, windows, and gates are securely closed at all times, and I never leave pets unattended during walks or feeding. I keep the environment calm and familiar so pets feel relaxed and safe in their own home. I also treat the owner’s home with care and respect. I keep things tidy, clean up after each visit, and handle keys and access information responsibly. I’m happy to provide regular photo and text updates so owners can feel reassured while they’re away.

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 have a lifelong passion for animals and have owned and cared for dogs since childhood back in my home country, so I deeply understand the love and responsibility they bring into our lives. I have been living in Ireland for the past 6 years, and during this time, I’ve had the privilege of sharing homes with wonderful furry housemates. I truly enjoy their company at all stages of life—from the playful energy of puppies to the gentle pace and special care that senior dogs require. Since I miss my own pets dearly, pet sitting is my favorite way to share that affection. You can rest assured that your furry friend will be treated with the utmost respect, care, and dedication, just like one of my own. My daily routine allows me great flexibility to provide dedicated drop-in visits and walks throughout the day. I can easily adapt to the specific times your pet needs, guaranteeing absolute punctuality to feed them, refresh their water, clean the litter box, or take them out for a walk. Since I manage my own schedule, I provide focused, one-on-one attention exactly when needed, ensuring your pet's routine is maintained with plenty of care and safety while you are away. I exclusively offer Dog Walking and Drop-in Visits at the owner's home; I do not provide boarding services at my own house. When I visit your pet or take them for a walk, my main focus is entirely on their safety, routine, and well-being. For dogs, I ensure active walks, always on a leash, safely burning energy and wiping their paws if it rains. For home visits (both cats and dogs), I strictly follow the owner's instructions: providing fresh food, refreshing water, cleaning the litter box, administering medication if needed, and dedicating the rest of the time to playtime and affection. During every visit or walk, I send real-time photo updates so you can have complete peace of mind.

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’m a lifelong pet lover dedicated to providing gentle, attentive care for animals of all ages. I understand how stressful it can be to leave your pet, so I make every visit calm, fun, and reassuring. Daily updates, photos, and lots of cuddles included! I've taken care of dogs before, mostly for my family and friends. Some of the dogs were old and a few were almost blind. It is a difficult process, but they still need treat and cuddles so they feel comfortable. I also enjoy walking them. Regarding to cats, I've taken care of my own cats and from my family's. I can administer oral medication and play with them. I study in the mornings and work in the afternoons, until 6pm, from Monday to Saturday. I'm free after 6pm. On Sundays I'm free all day. It will a pleasure to spend hours with the little furry guys. I can spend up to 2 hours with them daily. On Sunday I can dedicate my entire time for them. I don't care pets in my own home, since a I share with other people. I go to the owner's home. I take notes of all instructions you give me, regarding to your pets, if they need special treatment, and about the house, specifically careful about opened doors and windows.

About: I’ve had my first dog for over 10 years, and before my current pets I also had two other dogs and a cat. I truly love animals and have plenty of experience caring for them. Since my pets are not here with me in Ireland, I would be very happy to give love, attention, and care to your pets as if they were my own. At the moment, I work part-time for my own company, so I’m home most of the day and have plenty of time to give pets lots of attention, care, playtime, and company. I have a safe, clean, and comfortable home where pets can feel relaxed, cared for, and welcome during their stay. I always make sure they receive plenty of attention, affection, and a calm environment.

I am working a hybrid internship, so I am pretty flexible throughout the week. Weekends are also perfect timing for me. I live near the city center so everywhere is pretty accessible for me! I make sure there is a fence in the yard if the dog can play off the lead and I make sure to provide plenty of treats and water according to the owners dietary info.

About: I've had pets and I've always looked after them all my life . I've worked as a pet sitter in Brazil and I’ve been working with, in Dublin for 2 years. I can speak English really well and I've got all the skills to make sure pet owners have a smooth, trouble-free experience.
I think the most important thing for a good pet sitter is to love animals and understand their needs. They need our care and attention, and we should treat them like our best friends. I'm sure I can do a great job looking after your pet and make your life as a tutor easier.
I'm pretty flexible, so we can figure out the best times and payment methods that work for you. You can check my profile, all photos with my pets, family and friends pets and how I take care of them. I’m pretty flexible, so I prefer to talk about time and everything in advance, to make sure the tutors have a smooth, trouble-free experience. I always heard the tutors instructions carefully and adapt all to the needs of each pet. I reckon that each pet has very specific needs, so it’s more important to me to heard the tutor so I can adapt myself to provide an easy and trustworthy experience.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Dublin

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Dublin on Rover is €17.25 per walk (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking 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 Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 875 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Dublin. Enter your Eircode to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-to-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Dublin. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighbourhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

Tip: Keep in mind that many cities require your dog walker to have a permit or licence for group walks.

For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poo and pee breaks, and distance travelled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Dublin.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.

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 .

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and Walkers 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.

Yes, Rover is well-suited for last-minute bookings for Dog Walking. With 875 Walkers in Dublin, 30% respond to messages in under 5 minutes.

Many sitters keep their calendars updated in real time and you can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care in the next 24 hours, you can look for sitters with a 'calendar last updated' notice on their profiles.

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 walker.
