“Shimone and her boyfriend took very gentle care of my three rescue cats, even going to the trouble of searching for the hiding spot of the most anxious one to make sure she was ok. They were very relaxed when I arrived.”
“Caroline was a fab cat sitter for our cat Dot. Dot was very well looked after and we are very happy. Caroline was very friendly and flexible and communicated well with us. We would happily book with her again”
“Gráinne looked after my kitties very well, keeping me updated on how they were doing while I was away and she was a pleasure to communicate with before, during & after the booked time. Thanks Gráinne!”
“Elisa has been a wonderful Cat Sitter for our 2 cats, we just returned from our holidays and found the cats in perfect condition, and the flat too. This was our first time using Elisa’s services and we were hugely impressed.She was extremely kind updating us with pictures every day. We will certainly have Elisa come back again next time we go away.”

“Ivana has taken amazing care of my two cats. She's very responsive and took my spontaneous request very quickly. As a cat mom herself, she made sure to follow all directions for my cats in great detail and sent me lovely messages and pictures of my cats ☺️ my cats were happy and relaxed once I arrived back at home. Thank you so much, Ivana!”
“I was so lucky to find Adele. She took fantastic care of my young cat Mimi when I was away for 2 whole weeks. She provided consistent feedback and pictures which really put my mind at ease while away. She was gentle, affectionate and kind with mimi. She took great care of the cleaning and minding responsibility of having a pet while I was away. Couldn't recommend enough! ❤️”
“Stella was fantastic! She checked in on my Kit for a few days while my boyfriend and I were travelling. She really got us out of a bad spot as our plans to leave were pretty last minute. Great communication from her at all times, lots of updates including photos and vids, and Kit seemed to be in good spirits when we got back. Will be hiring her again :)”
“It was very reassuring to know that Aoife was looking after our older cat (who had recently been sick) while we were away. She took great care of her, including giving meds, and kept us updated with messages and photos. I would highly recommend Aoife.”
“Natalia was so helpful and kind. Wilbur adored her company and all the attention she gave him. Our other cat is very shy and timid, he hides whenever anyone comes into the house. Natalia looked for him each day to make sure he was ok. She updated us daily with photos and videos which really made us feel relaxed while we were away!”
“Jennifer did an amazing job looking after our cat Oreo while we were away. She sent us regular updates with photos and made a real effort to entertain our moody cat :) We returned to a very happy cat and would recommend Jennifer to anyone looking for a sitter.”
About: I have cared for pets for as long as I can remember, always with love, patience, and responsibility. I have experience looking after dogs of all sizes, ages, and breeds, making sure they are well-fed, exercised, safe, and happy. In my home country, my family owns a dog grooming salon, where I have gained experience in pet care, bathing, grooming, and handling different breeds. I am a trustworthy, caring, and reliable person who truly enjoys spending time with animals and making sure they receive the best possible care. I have classes from 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM, so my mornings and evenings are free I am currently free full-time, since my classes haven't started yet. I will care for your pet as if they were my own, always following their usual routine to help them feel comfortable and safe. I will make sure they have fresh water, meals on time, plenty of attention, playtime, and walks according to their needs. I understand how important pets are to their families, so I will treat them with patience, kindness, and respect. My goal is for you to have peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring and reliable hands🐾
“We couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter than Merari. She took wonderful care of Pablo and Teresa and treated them with so much attention and care. We received daily updates and photos from every visit, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. We highly recommend Merari to anyone looking for a reliable and caring cat sitter. Thank you, Merari!”
About: Hi! I'm Constanza, and I've been an animal lover my entire life. I grew up with both dogs and cats and have always had them as part of my family, so I know how special they are and how much trust it takes to leave a pet with someone. While I'm new to professional pet care, my experience comes from a lifetime of hands, on care, from energetic puppies and playful kittens who need all the exercise and stimulation, to senior dogs and cats who just need a gentle pace, a cozy lap, and plenty of quiet cuddles. I'm based in Dublín and offer services tailored to your pet's unique personality. For dogs, that means walks full of fun, sniffing opportunities, and tail wags. For cats, that means playtime, companionship, and lots of gentle attention while you're away. I'm responsible, punctual, and will treat your pet with the same love and care I've given my own. I can't wait to meet your furry best friend! Pet care fits perfectly into my daily and weekly routine. I'm currently taking an English course from Monday to Friday in the mornings, which is why I'm available from 1:00 PM onwards on weekdays. On Saturdays and Sundays, I have full-day availability, so I can adapt to whatever your pet needs, whether it's a long walk, playtime, or just some company and cuddles while you're away. I'm committed to being reliable and punctual, and I'll always make sure your pet gets the attention and care they deserve. Since I offer dog walking and home visits, I always prioritize the safety and comfort of your pet in their own environment. When I visit your home, I make sure to follow your instructions carefully, whether it's feeding, playing, or just keeping them company. I'm very respectful of your space and always ensure doors and gates are properly closed to prevent any escapes. During walks, I keep dogs on a leash at all times unless we're in a safe, enclosed area you've approved. I avoid busy roads, stay alert to their body language, and make sure they have a fun but safe experience. I also carry water for them and avoid walking in extreme weather. I'll always send you updates and photos so you can see how happy and well-cared-for your pet is while you're away.
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: 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.

Stella was great as a sitter. We got lots of updates about our cat, and she was really flexible with her drop-in visit times. Our kitty immediately took a liking to her when meeting her for the first time so always a great judge of character! Would definitely ask her to mind our cat again in the future.
Absolutely brilliant! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Yixian was amazing with Bounty. She kept us updated every day with lovely photos and videos, and it was clear Bounty was very happy and well looked after. She has a brilliant feeling with cats and we trusted her 100%. Best cat sitter ever! 🐱❤️ We’ll definitely book her again!
I could not have found a better person for the role. Kind, thoughtful and very conscientious. We recieved messages, report cards, videos and images of our baby cat Mao. Putting our minds at ease , knowing a true cat lover was looking after our little process. I will rebook again. Best service ever!
Tiago looked after our cat while we were away and couldn’t have picked better. He sent an update every single day with photo or video, so we never had to wonder how things were going with our cat. Easy to reach the whole time too, replied fast whenever we messaged. And we messaged a lot. We’re the kind of cat parents who worry about everything, and he handled every one of our questions with patience, never once made us feel like we were being a pain about it.
This is the 2nd summer holiday that we arranged for Debbie to Cat-sit for Sheyra, and we are delighted with her professionalism, clear communication and reliability. We, and Sheyra, will very happily engage Debbie for cat-sitting anytime we require her services on the future. Thanks again, Debbie!
Melinda was great with our boys. She is very personable and friendly and knew that she would take great care of our boys the moment we met her. She gave us daily updates and videos and we could see how happy the boys were with her whilst we were away. I would not hesitate to recommend Melinda to anyone else with cats.
Elisa was very knowledgeable and thoughtful and caring and a brilliant cat sitter! We were just so happy with her as a minder for our cat for the weekend. Our cat is quite nervous and I think it’s a testament to Elisa that he made friends with her straight away (with the assistance of some treats) Could not recommend her highly enough! Provided huge peace of mind for us and the daily updates were really wonderful to receive as well!
We are so happy with the care our cats received! She was amazingly sweet with them from day one. What really stood out was how easily she adjusted to their different ages and personalities—balancing high-energy playtime for the younger one with gentle, tailored attention for the older one. She was very punctual, and her communication throughout was fantastic. Getting regular updates and photos while we were away gave us total peace of mind. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and would love to have her back anytime! Highly recommend!
Highly recommend Chiara for pet care! She looked after both our cats with such care and attention. She kept us updated throughout with photos and messages, so we never had to worry. The cats absolutely loved her, and that says everything; they're usually pretty picky! Chiara is reliable, trustworthy, and genuinely cares about the animals in her care. We'll definitely be booking her again.
Lana visited our cat Nala daily for a week while we were away this summer. Nala is usually shy and slow to warm up to strangers but she immediately trusted Lana and asked for belly rubs straight away on the first visit. Lana was very responsive and easy to get a hold of. We also really appreciated that she was willing to do a meet and greet prior to visits starting.

You can also message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available by email or chat if you have concerns.

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.

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.
