“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! ❤️”

“I 100% recommend Paz! She is incredibly responsible, caring, and trustworthy. Bambi had such a wonderful time sharing and playing with her. She is so sweet and made sure to keep me updated throughout the entire stay, sending me messages and photos, which gave me great peace of mind. Thank you so much, Paz, for taking such good care of Bambi! We will definitely contact you again on our next trip. Highly recommended! ❤️”

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: 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. 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 have been caring for dogs since I was 10 years old. Friends, family members, and neighbors have trusted me to look after their pets, including feeding them, taking them for walks, playing with them, and providing companionship while their owners are away. I am a responsible, patient, and caring person who genuinely loves animals. I understand the importance of following each pet’s routine and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, or simply having company, I will make sure they receive the attention and care they deserve. I currently live in Dublin and would be delighted to care for your pet as if they were part of my own family. 🐶❤️ I am currently studying English in Dublin from Monday to Thursday mornings. I am available for pet care on Fridays from 7:00 AM to 2:00 PM and all day on Saturdays and Sundays. I am responsible, organized, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I am committed to providing pets with the care, attention, and companionship they need while their owners are away. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are my top priorities. As I provide care in the owner's home, I always make sure to follow each pet's routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication (if required), and any specific instructions provided by the owner. I understand that pets feel most comfortable in their familiar environment, and I am committed to ensuring they receive plenty of attention, affection, and care while maintaining their usual routine. I am responsible, trustworthy, and respectful of both your pet and your home. This way, you can have peace of mind knowing that your pet is being cared for in a safe and familiar setting.

“Julia stayed in our home with our two most beloved dogs (Irish red setter mix) when we had to leave the country. Handling two dogs can be challenging at certain times. But not for Julia! Not once did I feel uncomfortable or anxious leaving our dogs with her! She was the most respectful, kind, caring and responsible person. We received pictures and updates on our holiday and on our return it was clear that they were very well looked after. She is a responsible, fun and a very kind person. The way our both dogs looked into the camera, we knew they were loved and cherished. I do recommend Julia very much.”

About: I have lifelong experience caring for animals—I currently have two cats and have lived with felines all my life. I also own a 5-year-old Chow Chow who requires specialized daily care, including medication management, coat grooming, and support for separation anxiety and Leishmaniasis. Additionally, I have hands-on experience handling PPP (strong/large) breeds, so I am physically confident, calm, and fully capable of safely walking and managing heavy or powerful dogs. I am well-trained in basic dog commands, administering medicine, and providing dedicated, reliable care tailored to your pet's unique needs. Please note that I only offer house sitting at the owner's home. Unfortunately, due to my own pets, I am unable to host any animals in my own home as they wouldn't be compatible. I would be more than happy to stay at your place and take great care of your pet there! A typical day starts with a refreshing morning walk, customized to your pet's size, energy level, and physical needs. After returning, I stick strictly to their feeding schedule and administer any necessary daily medications with extreme care. During the day, since I work remotely, your pet will enjoy constant companionship, mental stimulation through interactive games, and structured rest. We'll end the day with another long walk to explore local parks and plenty of affection to make them feel safe, relaxed, and right at home. I treat your home like my own—keeping it clean, organized, and secure. You will receive regular photo updates, clear communication, and total confidence that both your pet and home are in caring, responsible hands.

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: I have decades of hands-on experience with a wide range of animals. I am always attentive to potential hazards and strictly follow all instructions regarding leashing, diet, and house rules. I offer loving, reliable, and deeply committed care. I received training in emergency pet care with level 2 Pet First Aid certification. I'm currently working part-time and my schedule is flexible for walks. I am available for sitting on weekdays and weekends and my routine during sitting is built around the consistent needs of the pets in my care, ensuring they get attention, exercise, and comfort throughout the day. When I'm in the owner's home, my aim is to be a reliable temporary guardian of both the house and the wellbeing of your pet. I aim to maintain the pet's routine and environment until your return.

About: I am happy housewife and my husband is IT-specialist working from home. So your dog will have my full attention and care during the day. I truly enjoy long walks and usually walk around 15,000 steps a day, so your dog will spend relaxed, enjoyable time outside. Animals have always been a big part of our life. Over the years we have cared for dogs, cats, hamsters and parrots, and we truly enjoy spending time with animals. At the moment we travel a lot and cannot have our own dog yet, so caring for other people’s dogs is something we do with genuine interest and responsibility. We take only one dog at a time because for us this is not just a job — it is important that each dog feels relaxed, safe and comfortable in our home. If you have two dogs from the same family, please let us know — we are happy to host them together. We also volunteered for several years in dog shelters in our home country, took in dogs and puppies for temporary shelter and looked for loving homes for them. Because of this we are comfortable working with dogs of different temperaments and energy levels. Your dog’s safety and emotional comfort are our top priorities. I am available the whole day, so your dog will receive consistent supervision, attention and playtime throughout the day. I also enjoy long daily walks, so your dog will have plenty of time to walk and play outside. I keep a flexible daily routine and can adapt to your dog’s usual schedule, feeding times and walking habits. We live in a comfortable one-bedroom apartment with a separate living room. We host only one dog at a time because your dog’s safety, comfort and emotional wellbeing are very important to us. Our home is calm and predictable, and your dog won’t be left alone. We carefully follow each dog’s usual routine, including feeding, walking and rest habits. If you have two dogs from the same family, please feel free to contact us — we are happy to discuss hosting them together. We are happy to stay in regular contact with owners during the stay and can provide frequent photo updates. We’re also available for video calls if you’d like to check in and see how your dog is settling in and doing with us.

About: Having just finished my postgrad studies I am now looking to do what I really love and get back minding doggies! I am an experienced dog minder with two dogs of my own to care for. My boys are friendly little guys that love new friends to play with or go on walks with, but I'm happy to walk your dog alone if you prefer this. I'm currently super flexible as I have finished my studies for the moment and only work part time in UCD during school term, so I have lots of availability. I love exercise so if your doggy stays with me they will get at least two walks a day, but often a stroll around the block or two on top of this! I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs of my own. My own house is kept very tidy because one of my dogs is a divil for trying to eat anything and everything he comes across. There's loads of parks nearby too for on lead or off lead walks.

Massive thanks to Stella! 💛 It was our second dogsitting experience with her help. Our doggy is an old 15-year-old lady, and I was worried about a new person coming, but everything was great. Stella was always on point and did everything perfectly. Whenever there were changes in the schedule from her side or ours, we always sorted everything out quickly. Businka seems like a happy dog, especially in the photos from Stella’s side ☺️

Look for sitters who highlight multi-pet expertise or check for verified reviews from other Dublin pet parents with similar pet households.

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.

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 .

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:

  • 74% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 77% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 82% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
