“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!”
About: Hi. I'm Lily, a Mexican currently living in Ireland and studying English in the mornings. The dog in my profile picture is Ruffo, a beautiful 7 years old Schnauzer who has been with me for over 5 years and taught me that life without a four-legged friend isn't life at all. I'm a kind, sensitive, and responsible person who loves dogs. I offer in-home pet sitting and walking services. I'm happy to get covered in fur, take them on fun walks, and play with them. I adapt to the owners' rules. Can you lend me a paw? I currently study English for 3 hours every morning from Monday to Friday, so I'm available in the afternoons, evenings, and weekends. We can discuss any requests. I know how difficult it is to find someone to leave your best friend with, I promise not only to take care of your pet as if it were my own but also to let it meet this crazy human and give it all the love I have saved up.
About: I provide housesitting/petsitting services and drop-in visits including feeding, playing, walking, grooming, and medication administration to your pets. I have lots of experience pet sitting on Trusted Housesitters in Ireland with 21 5* reviews. I am trustworthy, reliable, respectful, and attentive. I have experience with many different pets of all ages, breeds, temperaments and needs, including vet visits etc. I work remotely and flexibly, so I have plenty of time to spend with your pets and adapt to their routine and needs. If you have any questions please feel free to ask. Once your pets routine, needs and personalities are explained I adapt to that to make sure I give them the best care & what they are used to. I keep all windows closed and make sure there are no hazards, stick to their regular routine, and make sure they don't have access to anything they shouldn't have.
About: I've fostered dogs for 4+ years, from tiny puppies still learning the ropes to senior dogs needing a slower pace. I'm just as comfortable with a bouncy, high-energy dog on a hike as I am nursing a sick or recovering dog back to health. I've also volunteered at Blue Cross, giving me both hands-on and formal experience, and I'm confident with a wide range of breeds, including larger ones like German Shepherds. Whatever your dog needs, extra playtime, quiet company, or a bit of medical care, I'll treat them like my own. I'm currently flexible and available any day, so pet care fits easily into my routine. Whether it's a quick daily visit, a full day of walks and playtime, or overnight boarding, I can work around your schedule. Because my availability isn't tied to fixed work hours, I can offer consistency, which I know matters when you're leaving your pet with someone new. When I'm caring for pets in a client's home, I follow their established routine as closely as possible. I stick to the feeding schedule, medication instructions, and any house rules they've set out, since consistency matters most for keeping pets calm and comfortable. I keep the environment secure by double checking doors, gates, and windows, and I confine a pet if that's part of their normal routine or if they're the type who needs a settling in period with a new person. I always ask for detailed instructions beforehand so nothing is left to guesswork, and I stay in close contact with the owner throughout the visit or stay to update them on how their pet is doing.
About: I've had dogs since the day I was born! Never less than 4 in the house at all times, meaning I know a thing or two about how to take care of them :) I have been intermittently dog-sitting and dog-walking in Cork and Dublin, but am now looking to do it more regularly! I'm currently working part-time so I'll have plenty of time to care for your babies! When I do have work in the middle of the day, I'll communicate regularly about how and when I'll be able to see your dogs. I am comfortable with all sorts of dogs and have extensive experience with anxious/reactive dogs, meaning I can provide a safe environment for dogs of all sort.
About: I’ve had many animals since i was a child. Tao dogs myself amongst other animals. I have also lived with farm animals i know how to take care of most of them. I am a big animal lover. I have classes in the morning. So i would be available in the afternoons and evenings. Also weekends over night. Depending on the situation i could do overnights during the week. I can provide anything needed to make your pet comfortable and happy. I can go on walks, feed them and play with them all day!
“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!”
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: Have taken care of pets for many years mainly cats, hamsters and guinea pigs with from time to time minding dogs such as red setters, beagles and smaller dogs. Besides the "regular" kind of animals I have also minded fishes and I have a deep interest in sugar gliders and other exotic pets I'm a masters student, so I have plenty of time to mind, check-up or walk the pets. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate most requests. The pets safety and well-being are my top priorities. If there are any medications or strict guidelines to follow be assured that I don't mind take extra time or steps to ensure the comfort and peace of mind of both owners and pets alike. There is a very big park/walking route that can be adapted to suit all levels of energy your pet may have. Generally I wouldn't not take cats and dogs at the same time, unless they were siblings and were coming together. I wouldn't take more than 3 dogs at a time. As for cats I can accommodate maximum 4 cats depending on their personalities and willingness to be around other cats. In regards to exotic pets, it would depend and the type of pet.
About: I have plenty of hands-on experience caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities. I had a Maltipoo for four years, so I’m very familiar with the everyday routine of having a dog, from walks and playtime to feeding, grooming and, of course, plenty of attention and cuddles. Throughout the past year, I also regularly pet-sat a Golden Retriever, which gave me experience caring for a much larger and more energetic dog. I’m comfortable with regular walks, playtime and adapting to each dog’s usual routine and individual needs. I am currently studying my master, but I am at uni only 2 days a week. I'll schedule the rest of my time based on the cat's routine. The cat will always be the priority. My studio is small but cosy, with everything a cat might need to feel comfortable and at home. I have plenty of cat toys to keep them entertained, a quiet and safe space for their litter tray, and several cosy spots where they can curl up and nap undisturbed. Since the space is quite compact, it’s also easy for me to keep an eye on them and make sure they’re settled and happy. The studio is calm and relatively quiet, without lots of people coming and going, so it can be a good environment for cats who prefer a peaceful space. I’m also happy to adapt the room around each cat’s habits and personality, whether they’re playful and curious or would rather find a comfortable corner and snooze for most of the day.

About: As a lifelong animal lover and current pet owner to both a dog and a cat, caring for animals is second nature to me. Being a university student gives me a flexible schedule to give your pets the time, affection, and active care they need. I know firsthand how important it is to trust someone with your family members, and I bring genuine love, patience, and dependability to every visit or walk. As a university student, my class schedule gives me great daily flexibility. I have plenty of time during evenings, weekends, and gaps between classes to dedicate fully to pet care, walking, and check-ins. I structure my days to ensure pets get uninterrupted attention, regular exercise, and feeding right on schedule I provide dedicated, attentive care exclusively in your pet’s home, ensuring they stay comfortable in their familiar environment. Safety and trust are my top priorities, I follow your exact feeding, walking, and care instructions to keep their routine uninterrupted.

About: Hello! I’m studying full-time here in Dublin and really miss my dog Joey who’s with my family back home. I want to be able to share all my love with your dogs. I walked dogs in my neighborhood as a kid and have lots of experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and abilities, including puppies and seniors. I love dogs more than anything and would be grateful to help you take care of yours :)) I have availability all-day Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, and weekends, and availability part-time on Monday and Thursday. I would love to have a buddy with me on my walks! I can follow any specific instructions you may have very diligently. I am also flexible with my schedule. I can’t wait to meet your dogs and develop a trusting friendship with them!
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. For the past year, I’ve had another German Shepherd, so I have plenty of experience caring for and spending time with this breed. I’m a friendly and sociable person who really enjoys both human and animal company. I’m responsible, caring and attentive, and I’ll make sure your dog gets plenty of attention, exercise and affection. I’d be happy to take your dog for walks, play with them and make sure they feel safe, comfortable and well looked after while you’re away! 🐶❤️ I walk my dog almost every day when I’m in France, usually at lunchtime and in the evening. I normally take him to the park or the forest for a good walk. Since I’ve been studying in Dublin, I really miss having a dog to walk and spend time with, which is why I’d love to help take care of other dogs here. 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. 🐶🐱
“Vanessa was amazing and was able to watch my dog on short notice, in my home. I was initially concerned about having anyone that I didn't know watch my dog (completely blind), but Vanessa rose to the occasion. The house and Bruce were very well taken care of and I had zero issues whatsoever. Her continuous contact and photos were great. I would recommend her and will be booking with her again!”
About: Hi! My name is Jennifer, and I’m passionate about animals and their well-being. I have a background in veterinary medicine and several years of hands-on experience working with pets of all sizes and personalities. I’ve worked as a pet sitter and dog walker, providing care, companionship, and plenty of love for dogs, cats, and other pets while their owners are away. Whether it’s a short walk, a full day of pet sitting, or overnight care, I always make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy. My veterinary knowledge allows me to confidently handle pets with special needs, administer medications when needed, and quickly notice any signs of discomfort or health issues. I treat every animal as if they were my own — with patience, kindness, and lots of affection. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, responsible, and truly passionate about animals, I’d love to help care for your pet! Pet care fits into my routine very well. I study in the afternoons during the week, so I’m available in the mornings and evenings. I’m also free on weekends, which gives me flexibility to take care of pets whenever needed. I dont offer pet care in my own home, but I’m happy to care for pets in the owner’s home. When I arrive, I take time to understand the pet’s routine, preferences, and any special needs. I always try to keep things as familiar and stress-free as possible, following feeding schedules, walk times, and any instructions given. My goal is to make the pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their own environment, while also keeping the owner updated and reassured.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Dublin is €30

Shreyas is an incredible dog sitter. We have used him twice now to watch our 6 year old lab-mix and could not be happier. He gives her lots of attention and cuddles, takes her to the park to run and play ball, and sends us frequent updates while we are away for peace of mind. In addition to providing a high level of care for our pup, he is also very friendly, quick to respond, and leaves our home clean at the end of his stays. 10/10 Recommend!
I highly recommend Anastasiia to anyone looking for a cat sitter. I had to put my second cat, Juno to sleep a week before I went on vacation and this left me incredibly worried about how Lux would cope while I was away. I knew she was in great hands with Anastasiia. She sent me videos and pictures everyday and not only did Lux look calm and happy, I could tell she really took a liking to Anastasiia. It was the reassurance I needed during my vacation, and my mind was at ease to enjoy my time away.
First time using Rover and couldn’t be happier to have Lakshmi as a Pet Sitter. She was extra kind and trustworthy, she made sure to look after my pets really well, kept in touch during my holidays and even sent me pictures of them. Thanks for everything, Lakshmi!
Kylah looked after my cat Diego, she was a brilliant, nothing was too much trouble and she kept me updated while I was away with regular pictures! She was lovely with him, and it was clear he was happy and comfortable with her. I’d definitely book Kylah again to look after Diego and would recommend her to any cat owners. 😊
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 !! 🐱💕
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! ♥️🐾
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!

The average cost of House Sitting in Dublin is €32 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between €24 and €47 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.

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.
House sitters can stay overnight in your home and care for your pets according to the routine you agree on before the booking.
Depending on your pets’ needs, this may include feeding, walks, play, companionship, medication, providing toilet or litter-box care, and keeping their usual schedule. Some sitters may also agree to light household tasks, such as collecting mail, watering plants, or putting bins out, but these are not automatically included.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss the sitter’s overnight schedule, how long your pets can comfortably be left alone, arrival and departure times, update preferences, and all tasks you would like to arrange. Confirm the agreed responsibilities through the Rover app before booking.
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 , which provides up to €25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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.
For more details, visit our .
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 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 .

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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
