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 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.

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 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: 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: I raised a Chow Chow from the time he was a puppy all the way into his senior years. Since it's a complex breed, I had to deeply learn about canine behavior and effective training techniques. If you're looking for someone who truly loves animals and knows how to give them the care they deserve, I’m a fantastic choice. I work part-time as a waitress in the evenings and I'm also a student, so I'm available to pet-sit your dog in the mornings, any day of the week. I can care for your dog at your home so they feel comfortable in their familiar surroundings, or I can just take them out for walks.

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!

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! ❤️

Elisa is so kind and considerate. I left it until the 11th hour to arrange for a cat sitter and she stepped up wholeheartedly with no fuss. The whole process was very easy. I got updates every day and pictures too. Bowls were cleaned and replenished and Elisa waited patiently if Misu was out adventuring. Would 💯 recommend Elisa. Huge thanks to her for putting our minds at ease while we were away.

Both cats were very comfortable around her and she even managed to get some love from Mog, who is very nervous around everybody. Francisca is very pleasant and helpful to customers, and I am very happy to recommend her to others.

Adele is incredible! She's so great with the cats, you can tell she genuinely loves looking after them. We left our two cats in her care for two drop in visits a day. Adele gave us pictures and videos from every visit she did and clarified with us beforehand what type of updates we'd like. It was obvious our cats really took to her and we came back to two happy cats. I wouldn't hesitate to use Adele services again and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a cat sitter.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Dublin

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Dublin on Rover is €17.25 per Visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of September 2026, there are 1,129 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Dublin. Enter your Eircode to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or toilet breaks occurred, for doggy day care, home visits, and dog walking services. 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.

Of course! Many sitters on Rover are experienced in caring for multiple pets simultaneously, whether you have a pack of dogs, a clowder of cats, or a mix of both.

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

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.
