About: I’ve had dogs all my life and currently have two of my own, so caring for dogs is something I truly love. I have lots of experience walking, feeding, playing with, and caring for dogs of many different breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’m comfortable with both energetic dogs who need plenty of exercise and more relaxed dogs who prefer a slower-paced walk. I’m responsible, patient, and attentive, and I always treat every dog as if they were my own. I’d love to meet your pup and give them plenty of love, attention, and exercise! I am currently a full-time student at Trinity College Dublin, but my schedule gives me plenty of flexibility during the week. I am typically available for dog walks in the afternoons and evenings, and I can often be flexible depending on your pet’s needs and schedule. I have lots of experience walking and caring for dogs, including energetic dogs who need plenty of exercise and attention. I’m comfortable walking dogs in busy city environments and always prioritize their safety and well-being. You can trust me to keep your pup happy, active, and safe while they’re in my care!

About: Hello! My name is Antoine, and I’m a 21 year old dog and animal lover. Growing up between India and the French countryside, I’ve been around dogs for as long as I can remember. When I was a kid, we lived near a refuge in Pune where many rescue and stray dogs were fed and sheltered. I remember spending a lot of time there, desperately asking my parents if we could bring one home! I’m originally from France, and my parents still live in the countryside, where my own dog lives with them while I’m here in Dublin studying acting. His name is Bowie, a beautiful Australian Shepherd and subjectively, is the kindest and smartest dog there is! I’ve spent years walking, grooming and training him, so I’m very comfortable with the everyday responsibilities that come with caring for a dog. I’m very patient and attentive, and I like taking the time to understand a dog’s individual personality, habits and needs. Whether your dog needs a good long walk, playtime, company while you’re away, or simply a bit of care and attention, I’d be very happy to help. Hopefully your dog and I will love each other just as much as Bowie and I ! Thank you for trusting me. Antoine I am currently in college from 8:30am to 5:45pm from Monday to Friday. I am fully available on the weekends or Friday evenings. I have a gated backyard, so no risk of escape and a little corner is set for resting in the living room. The dog can only stay in the downstairs area when staying in the house but has full access to the backyard. I also live 3min away from Fairview park so very practical for walks.
About: I love taking care of puppies with empathy, patience, and lots of love. I enjoy giving them quality time, making them happy, taking them for walks, and playing with them. I love having fun with them and making sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for. From Monday to Thursday, I am available to look after pets from 7:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. I currently work part-time, so I have plenty of time to give your pets attention, care, and company. At the moment, I can only take care of pets at their own home, as I currently live with several other people and don’t have enough space to host pets. I’d be happy to give your pet lots of love, attention, and care in their own home.
About: We’re a couple who share our home with Saiko, our chow chow, since December 2021. Raising a chow taught us patience, consistency and respect for a dog’s boundaries — they don’t hand you their trust, you earn it. Jérôme grew up with dogs from the day he was born, so between us there’s very little we haven’t handled: puppy energy, stubborn adolescents, senior dogs slowing down, thick double coats that need real brushing. Our flat is dog-proofed and dog-friendly, and we walk daily whatever the Irish weather does. Expect long walks, proper playtime, feeding and medication exactly as you instruct, and regular photo updates so you can actually relax while you’re away. Nervous, reactive or independent dogs are welcome — we’re used to reading body language rather than forcing contact. We both work full-time in Dublin, but our schedules are staggered — Maxime works often from home; Jérôme is working from home 3 week per month, so your dog is rarely alone. Saiko already sets the rhythm of the house: a long walk first thing, a break at midday, then a proper evening outing and playtime before we settle in. Your dog simply slots into that routine. Whatever the booking, you get photos and a short update every day. Our home is a flat in Dublin 1, dog-proofed after living with a chow chow: secure doors, nothing harmful within reach, and a quiet corner where a new dog can decompress with their own bed, bowls and blanket from home. We don’t have a garden, so exercise happens outside — we’re surrounded by parcs and walk at least three times a day, always on lead until we know your dog wel. Introductions are done slowly and on neutral ground. If your dog would rather keep their distance from Saiko, we keep them apart with a stair gate instead of forcing a friendship. Feeling, medication and routine are followed exactly as you write them, we never let a dog off lead without your say-so, and we have a local vet on file in case anything comes up.
About: Since I was born I have always had cats, I grew up with them and I learned to take care of them. Today I have a cat that I take care of. Regarding dogs, I have taken care of my family's dogs several times. I am an Erasmus student, so I have a lot of free time to take care of your pets. I am available every Monday, as well as every Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 4 p.m. I am also available on weekends, I will only need to organise myself in advance! I will be very happy to keep your pets company at home according to your instructions. I would adapt to the needs of your pets !
About: I'm an experienced house and pet sitter. With how busy schedules can be I strive to use different tools and approaches to help enrich your pets' lives. I love going on long walks, especially to the beach, playing fetch and teaching tricks! I am educated on dog and cat care with a passion to keep learning. I focus on quality enrichment aiming to be a positive and patient person for your pets. Pet care fits my lifestyle perfectly, as a Dublin creative most of my responsibilities are fortnightly which leaves me with free full days and nights. I currently live in a pet friendly apartment building with a big back yard for playing and a five minute walk from Herbert Park and 20 minute walk from Merrion Square Park.
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.
About: Hi! 👋 I’m a student from Paris who has always loved animals and enjoys spending time with them. I had a German Shepherd for 4 years, who sadly passed away about a year and a half ago.

I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable and cared for. I follow the owner’s instructions and routines, while giving them plenty of attention, walks, playtime and affection. I’m responsible and will keep owners updated during the stay or visit. 🐶🐱

Dog owners share their Rover experiences - Dublin
Hiring a dog walker requires a great level of trust and I was luckily able to establish that immediately with Belkis. It’s very clear that she loves animals and my dog warmed up to her immediately. She’s very communicative and was flexible to the changes I had to make at the last minute. Couldn’t recommend her more highly.
Paz is simply amazing with animals! She is patient, kind and so loving! My dog was obsessed with her after day 1 and she kept me updated on their adventures! I highly recommend trusting Paz with your pets as their is no one more responsible or with an ability to make such a quick connection!
Breeanna was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! 🥹🐶💕🐾 I genuinely couldn’t recommend her enough!!! From the moment she walked my dog, I knew he was in the BEST hands 🥰❤️ She was so lovely, caring, attentive, and clearly absolutely loves dogs!! 🐕✨ My dog had the BEST time and came back so happy 🥹🐾💗 It honestly gave me such peace of mind knowing he was being looked after by someone so kind, trustworthy, and caring 🥰🌟 I’m SO impressed with Breeanna and will 100% be booking her again!!! 🙌🏼🐶💖 Thank you SO much, Breeanna!!! You’re an absolute star ⭐️🌟💗🐾
Would absolutely recommend Liliana. She was great to deal with and excellent communication (despite a mix up with keys on my part) and gave my dog a great walk. Have since seen her in the park with other dogs too - she does a great job! We hope to use her services again.
We couldn’t have been happier with Blanca! She was so lovely with Ayo from the start, and it was obvious that Ayo absolutely adored her. Blanca was warm, friendly and incredibly easy to communicate with, keeping us updated and making us feel completely at ease. It was clear that Blanca genuinely cares about the dogs she looks after. Ayo came back happy and content, and we would absolutely book Blanca again in a heartbeat. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a friendly, caring and trustworthy dog walker, we feel very lucky to have found her!
Mia is the best and I would absolutely recommend her as a dog minder/walker. She is extremely flexible and reliable and just a lovely person overall. She so clearly loves dogs and has no trouble managing my hyper-energetic 30kg lab. Jamie loves her weekly dates with Mia!

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.
<b>Tip:</b> Keep in mind that many cities require your dog walker to have a permit or licence for group walks.
For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poo breaks recorded by the walker.

Every walker 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 walker is the right fit before booking.

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 walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone.
