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.
“A positive experience overall. Tiago was reliable, easy to communicate with, and took good care of my cats. I received regular updates during the visits and appreciated his help while I was away.”
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 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.
“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!”
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.
“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: 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!
“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! ❤️”

About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs since I was a child. I’ve always enjoyed spending time with dogs belonging to neighbors, friends, and family, including taking them for walks and keeping them company. I’m caring, responsible, patient, and genuinely love making dogs feel happy, safe, and comfortable. I work Monday through Friday, but I’m available after 4:00 PM on weekdays.

I live in an apartment, but I’m comfortable following any house rules and specific care instructions your pet may need. I’m responsible, patient, and very affectionate with animals. I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while they’re with me.

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!”
“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.”

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.
Francisca was wonderful and out two cats were well looked after. She sent daily photos and videos so we could see the cats were doing fine 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.
Carolina is an amazing cat sitter! She kept me updated about Zoe every day while I was away, which allowed me to travel with complete peace of mind. She sent me the cutest photos and videos, and I could see that Zoe was comfortable, happy, and enjoying having Carolina around. Thank you so much, Carolina, for taking such wonderful care of Zoe. I really appreciated it! ❤️🐾
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.
Our experience with Caterina has been excellent. She is extremely professional, kind and caring. Max, our cat, was very happy and comfortable with her. She paid great attention to every detail and kept us updated every day on how Max was doing, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. We would definitely recommend her and would be very happy to have her look after Max again. Thanks Caterina!!
Vidalia was great with minding our cat recently - really responsive in advance and throughout the booking, and we felt assured that she would do a great job. Which she did! Overall, would highly recommend and have no hesitation in booking her again. Thank you!
Rayne was fantastic, communication before the booking was really prompt. Our meet and greet prior to the booking was great and I felt comfortable with how Rayne approached my cats. Cats were looked after, fed and watered as agreed with message and photos to make sure :) Very happy and would book Rayne again!
Debbie was absolutely brilliant, she looked after our two cats so well while we were away. They were in such good hands and we came home to two very happy cats. Debbie was great at communicating and giving us updates and videos also which put us both at ease. Would 100% recommend Debbie and hope to use her again ourselves!
Stella was an overall amazing sitter! I booked last minute and she has great and speedy communication. She kept updating with pictures with my cat Pablo, followed directions and made sure my place was clean which was very thoughtful! Would definitely go back to Stella if I need a sitter again.
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.

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!
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.

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.

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.

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.
