“Amazing experience booking Zsuzsanna! We left her with our three very needy dogs for a week and she was great. We have a camera in our living room and checked in the odd time. We saw her being affectionate to them, we could tell by their body language they were very comfortable with her and they liked her. We got plenty of photos and updates. She also watched our apartment while we were away. We had zero concerns and got to fully relax and enjoy our week away. She played games with them that stimulated them. Zsuzsanna is amazing and we will be holding on to her contact info and definitely booking with her again in the future. We would recommend her to anyone looking for a great pet sitter!”
“Sheila exceeded all of our expectations in every way and we will absolutely be booking her services again the future. She did an amazing job house sitting for us and sent plenty of photos of our dog loving his life.”
“Tiago took excellent care of our two cats & was very easy & friendly to communicate with. We went on a 10 day trip & received lovely updates & videos every morning & evening. Will definitely be booking Tiago again for any future trips. Thanks - Caroline & Tanguy + Logan & Cal :)”
“This was my first time using the app for cat sitting, and Adele set the bar really high. I felt like I could truly enjoy the holidays knowing our cats were well looked after. Adele communicated consistently, and kept us updated with lovely photos and videos. All the instructions were followed thoroughly, and we came back to two happy kitties 🥰 I would recommend Adele with no hesitation, and will definitely book her again soon! Thank you Adele ☺️”
“Irvin was amazing. He cared for Toby better than myself or my sons could. He watered plants and brushed Toby during the heatwave in Dublin which was a challenge. He took Him for walks in the cool evening putting Toby’s needs before his own. The house was left spotless and I would highly recommend him. Thanks again Irvin Toby misses you already!”
“Great sitter! Very communicative and caring. Did a great job looking after our dog — but also our house. Did meet and greet ahead of dates and also research on breed and the specifics about our dog.”
About: My family got our first dog when I was 3. Over the years many more joined our family, and we had three for most of my childhood. We had dogs of all sizes big and small, and various personalities :) I am experienced in caring for dogs of all ages and requirements, having cared for our dogs from their puppy era until the end of their life with various health requirements, I feel as if I have a group grasp on caring for all needs :) I have always loved dogs, and would only be delighted to mind yours :) Having moved to Dublin in 2023 to pursue a degree in Midwifery, as I am currently living in the city centre, I am unfortunately not in the position to have a dog of my own at the moment. My schedule is always changing, meaning I am more flexible to care for your pet :) I am more than willing to adapt to whatever requirements or requests you have in regards to your pet and its unique needs. I am used to both young and old dogs, laid back and energetic sorts!
About: Fortunately, I grew up with the best of friends (pets) and a deep love and respect for animals; I’ve been vegan for nine years to stay true to my values. I have a natural instinct to look after animals. I work part-time, so I can play with your pets, feed them or even give them their medicine (if needed). At the weekend, I could look after them and take them for a walk. Your baby won’t be short of love and attention. If you need care in your own home, I will follow all the guidelines to ensure your pets feel comfortable and safe And I’ll look after them as if they were my own.
About: I have many years of experience caring for animals having looked after the pets friends and neighbours and also have volunteered at animal shelter caring for animals of all types, including elderly, abandoned and mistreated animals. I have experience with all sizes of dogs, basic training and essential day-to-day care always providing patience, attention and affection. I‘m available for pet care any time on weekends as well as Tuesdays and occasionally on other days depending on my work schedule. I‘m flexible and happy to arrange times that work best for you and your pet I adapt to each dog‘s needs. Whether it‘s specific feeding (weighed portions or natural food etc) walks, play time and rest. I follow the owner‘s instructions and focus on making each dog feel comfortable, happy and safe, giving them plenty of quality time, love and attention
About: I have looked after many different pets since 2014! Back then, I went around the neighborhood pet sitting and doing daily walks! Now, I am available for many different forms of pet care whether its near or far. I have experience with larger dogs (huskies primarily) small dogs, cats, etc! I am comfortable adjusting to any pets needs and learning exactly the best way to care for them individually. I currently do not work and do only a little bit of school on the side. I recently moved to Dublin so I am still settling in, and have plenty of time to care for your pets and any of their needs. I will give your pet any attention and/or space that they require, especially because I know some pets are very anxious when strangers are in their safe space. Essentially, I will do whatever is needed so they are the most comfortable during their care.
About: I’ve had dogs my life, a golden retriever and a cavapoo. I often care for my family/neighbours dogs while they are away also. Happy to walk and care for all types of dogs. I’m currently a trainee solicitor at Blackhall Place so have a very flexible schedule. I’m currently studying at Blackhall Place so have great flexibility with my time at the moment! I can work around the needs of the pet owner midweek and weekends. I can walk dogs and attend drop in visits but can’t care for them in my own home. Happy to adapt to the needs of the dog.
“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: I’ve grown up with dogs and have been caring for them since I was a child, so being around dogs has always been a natural part of my life.

About: I’m a lifelong cat lover who grew up surrounded by furry companions. Back in Brazil, I had two wonderful cats who were my daily joy and I miss them deeply. Every chance I get, I find myself cuddling a cat 🤣. I understand their moods, respect their space, and enjoy giving them affection and attention. I’m even planning to adopt one soon, so looking after someone else’s feline feels like a treat as much as a responsibility. I work from home Tuesday to Thursday so depending on the location I can pop in for visits during the day. Im also available on weekdays after 5pm and on weekends I provide a quiet and stress free environment and respect their personality. Maintain a clean litter area and also spend time playing if they want!

Ciara looked after our four kitties over 2 days and did the most amazing job! We got so many photo and video updates which put us at ease knowing they were okay while we were away. We would definitely recommend Ciara to anyone who needs a pet sitter! Thank you again for all you did, Ciara :)
This was my first time using the app for cat sitting, and Adele set the bar really high. I felt like I could truly enjoy the holidays knowing our cats were well looked after. Adele communicated consistently, and kept us updated with lovely photos and videos. All the instructions were followed thoroughly, and we came back to two happy kitties 🥰 I would recommend Adele with no hesitation, and will definitely book her again soon! Thank you Adele ☺️
We were lucky enough to book Kylah to housesit our dog for over a week. She is completely at ease with & genuinely loves animals. He got all the walks, love & attention. Kylah sent daily updates of their adventures and we came home to one very happy and well cared for pup. I cannot recommend Kylah enough, especially for peace of mind when leaving your furry family members & we wouldn’t hesitate to have her stay in our home again. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Robyn minded our dog Rolo, for 10 days in our home while we were away on holidays and I honestly can’t recommend her enough! ♥️ She made sure Rolo got plenty of walks, attention and belly rubs and most importantly, that he felt happy and comfortable while we were gone! She also provided us with regular updates so we knew he was in good hands 🙌 Thank you so much Robyn, for taking such amazing care of our precious Rolo. We’re so grateful! ♥️🐾
Chiara house sat for us while we were away for 2 nights. She looked after our two cats and they had a wonderful time! They were well taken care of, given a lot of attention and we came back to a tidy house. Chiara had great communication with us throughout the 2 days and sent lots of photos. We would definitely recommend her to any cat owners who need someone to look after their kitties!
Kristina minded our dog Willow in our home for 5 days and nights recently. She was kind enough to come and meet us in advance of our trip as we were nervous leaving our dog with someone we hadn't and Willow had never met before. We shouldn't have had any concerns though as Willow took to her like a duck to water and we were very happy heading off that she was in good hands. Kiristina send us updates and photos every day and even stayed on later than we had originally asked her because I had mixed up the flight times for our journey home. She even laundered the bed linen which was so kind of her. I would recommend her to anyone. Thanks Kristina.
Out of all the people who specifically stated they were available the August Bank Holiday weekend Carla was the only one came through and at the very last minute. Which I was so greatful for. So thank you Carla. She was very prompt, and straight away I knew she would be good to Snowy. She sent me lovely pics and I would personally most definitely use her services again. Would totally recommend Carla.
We are very happy to have found Marcella to look after our Cody. We were away for 9 days and Marcella took a good care of our German shepherd. I would recommend Marcella 100% . We were updated threw out the time and informed any concerns if arise. Our dog was happy and so are we. We're looking forward for another holiday s!
Tiago took excellent care of our two cats & was very easy & friendly to communicate with. We went on a 10 day trip & received lovely updates & videos every morning & evening. Will definitely be booking Tiago again for any future trips. Thanks - Caroline & Tanguy + Logan & Cal :)
Irvin was amazing. He cared for Toby better than myself or my sons could. He watered plants and brushed Toby during the heatwave in Dublin which was a challenge. He took Him for walks in the cool evening putting Toby’s needs before his own. The house was left spotless and I would highly recommend him. Thanks again Irvin Toby misses you already!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Dublin on Rover is €32.2 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 805 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Dublin. Enter your Eircode to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when contacting them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Post & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Rubbish & recycling: Taking rubbish out on scheduled bin collection days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to agree on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a 'home cheat sheet' that includes your preferred Dublin walking routes, the location of your favourite pet shop, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
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 .
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Dublin choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a key safe or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest vet. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorisation form for your regular vet. An authorisation form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into your regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
