“Shih-Fang minded my 2 small mixed dogs and took great care of them! I'd highly recommend her! 5 Stars. She sent lots of updates and I can tell she treated them very well and they were very well minded! One is elderly and she took that into consideration. Thank you Shih-Fang!”
“Daniel minded our rescue Alfie when we were away for an event. He was wonderful with Alfie, a real dog lover, brought him for great walkies. He has a great space and is a real natural with dogs. Alfie is looking forward to his next adventure with Daniel!”
“I found Gerard to be a great dog sitter. He looked after my dog Archie who had a great time. Gerard sent me photos everyday of Archie on his walk or relaxing in the house. I would definitely use Gerard again as a sitter.”
“Nadine and Raphael were fantastic. Our dog had an amazing time. She was looked after so well. She was brought to the beach, cliff walks and spent plenty of time in the park. Our dog is very high energy and she was well matched with Enzo. We'd highly recommend and book again in a heartbeat ☺️ They kept us updated everyday which really helped ease our nerves while away. Thanks so much guys!”
About: I have experience caring for dogs belonging to friends and family, mostly small and medium-sized breeds. They trust me to look after their pets in my home, where I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment. I enjoy taking dogs for walks in the park, playing with them in the garden, and keeping them active and entertained. I make sure to follow their feeding routine, provide regular toilet breaks, and meet any specific needs they may have. I genuinely love animals and enjoy giving them plenty of affection, attention, and care so they feel happy, relaxed, and at home while staying with me. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I am available throughout the week and on weekends for dog boarding, pet sitting, and dog walking. Whether your dog enjoys playtime, walks, or simply having company throughout the day, I can provide a caring and attentive environment. I am happy to welcome dogs into my home or help by taking them for walks if you have a busy schedule and need an extra hand. When caring for dogs in my home, I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and part of the family. When dogs stay with me overnight, I follow their usual routine as closely as possible. A typical day includes their meals at the appropriate times, regular toilet breaks, and plenty of playtime and exercise. I enjoy taking dogs to the park for walks and outdoor activities, and at home they can relax or play in my fully fenced garden. If you prefer your dog to stay within a secure home environment, I can provide plenty of fun and stimulation in the garden instead. Every dog is different, and I always adapt to their individual routine, personality, and needs to ensure they are happy and comfortable.
“This was our first time leaving our dog with a sitter, and we’re very happy we chose Chiara. We received many photos and videos, which helped us feel calm and confident that our dog was in safe and caring hands. Despite very rainy weather and even a storm, she took great care of the dogs, walking them in the inner courtyard and a dedicated dog area. They played ball, let the dogs run and play together, and even took our dog to a café. We’re extremely happy with the care and will definitely leave Margo with Chiara again!”
“Heitor Is awesome my little one loves him. She remembered him from last time so she started jumping which shows she likes him. That gave me comfort and regular updates with pictures also gave me peace of mind. 100% recommended without a doubt.”
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by dogs and love animals deeply. Living in Dublin, I can’t have one yet, but I’d love caring for yours, especially weekends. 🐾 Plenty of walks, cozy home time and a relaxed schedule just like mine. Available on weekend and I’ll dedicate plenty of time to your dogs. My home is brand new, fully secure and ideal for dogs used to indoor living, and no possibility of escaping. Garden right downstairs for quick potty breaks

I cannot thank her enough . Such a lovely girl. Callie had the best time with her . And missing her already 😢 thank you from the bottom of our hearts 💕”
About: I have always loved animals and enjoy spending time caring for both dogs and cats. Friends, family, and neighbours have trusted me to look after their pets while they were away, making sure they were fed, exercised, comfortable, and happy. I understand that every pet has its own personality and routine, so I take the time to make them feel safe and loved. Whether your pet enjoys playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply a quiet place to relax, I will provide attentive and personalized care. I offer a clean, safe, and welcoming home environment and will treat your pets as if they were my own. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind knowing their furry family members are in caring and responsible hands. I am currently fully available as I am on my summer break from college, so I have plenty of time and flexibility to take care of pets. I can easily manage feeding, walks, playtime, and any other needs they may have. I care for pets by making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well looked after at all times. I follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding routines, walk schedules, and any special needs. I also make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and affection so they feel relaxed and happy.
About: I have many years of experience as a dog owner and over the last few years have fostered many dogs and watched them go on to wonderful loving homes. I'm recently retired and love to get outdoors in the fresh air whatever the weather. If I have a dog or two with me even better. I have a lovely fenced garden with a gate that leads to a park. It's idyllic for dogs. There are also two beautiful parks nearby, where dogs can be let off the lead until 11am.
“We had the most amazing experience with Bishka looking after Chloe 🐶💛 From the very beginning, it was clear how much Bishka genuinely loves dogs – she absolutely adored Chloe from the get-go, and that gave us so much confidence leaving her there. Chloe is elderly and quite particular, so it means a lot to see someone connect with her so naturally. We received super frequent photo and video updates throughout the stay 📸✨ which honestly made such a difference. It was so reassuring to see how happy and relaxed Chloe was – she was even doing zoomies which says a lot, because she doesn’t do them very often at her age 😂💨 By the time we came to pick her up, Chloe was having such a good time that we were half-worried she wouldn’t want to come home with us! 🥹 We would 100% recommend Bishka to anyone looking for a kind, attentive, and genuinely caring dog sitter 🐾💖 We’ll absolutely be booking with her again next time we need someone to look after Chloe. Thank you again, Bishka! 🌟”
“Mariana took excellent care of Milly and kept us updated with lots of photos and videos. It was reassuring to see how well Milly was doing. We'd definitely recommend her and would happily use her services again.”
“Lilian was great minding Millie. When I met her it was clear that she is very experienced and knowledgeable with dogs and showed great affection for Millie and her own dog Pepsi. It was obvious Millie was going to be well looked after. Communications throughout the dogminding was perfect and I had peace of mind that I didn't need to worry about Millie in my absence. Anyone would be lucky to have Lilian mind their doggie.”
“Maham was absolutely brilliant with Elton , from the moment we arrived at her home she made us both so comfortable. I was very reassured that Elton would be looked after very well During his stay I received lots of updates , communication was clear and put my mind at ease Mahram was very understanding and accommodating with Elton , I was asked about his preferences for walking and times for eating and these were adhered to throughout his stay”
“Gustavo and Catarina were so great with Jett. We got loads of updates and he looked so comfortable with them, and as a rescue dog that's not always easy! We couldn't recommend them highly enough”
“Oliver and his family were very welcoming when they met Cosmo and I at an initial meet and greet. Their home is perfectly set up for pets as the living area leads directly out into the garden. It was very obvious very quickly that Oliver is a natural when it comes to connecting with dogs. Cosmo was immediately comfortable with Oliver and his family. I knew Cosmo would be in great hands. Oliver kept me up to date with photos and feedback which was extremely comforting for me and very much appreciated. It was great to see Cosmo enjoying her stay and that she was settling in without issue. I highly recommend Oliver to look after your dog if you want peace of mind and I will definitely be using Oliver again in the near future.”
About: I'm a part-time writer who's originally from the USA but has lived in Ireland for close to four decades. I grew up in a house full of dogs, from collies to Saint Bernards, and learned to handle various dogs as a paperboy. Today I live in Drumcondra in central Dublin with partner Dawn and 16-year-old son Harry. Our home is missing our beloved Fonzie, our rescue dog of 17 years, who passed away in 2024. I've been thinking about taking up dog walking/boarding ever since, in part because I'm an avid walker (and no longer an avid writer!). On my near-daily walks I'm always talking to fellow hikers with dogs, and it just seems a missed opportunity not to have a dog with me, too. So I'm open to tailoring walks that really suit your dog, even daylong adventures with a picnic somewhere nice in the middle. If your dog would be staying overnight, or longer, it'll be even better, because my partner Dawn is the true dog fanatic in the family. It'll be nonstop cuddles once she's home. One key commitment from me is that your dog will feel at home, in a family environment, and will never be left alone. That includes nighttime, when I'll be sleeping in the living room nearby your dog (who I am betting will get a particularly good night's sleep, despite the unfamiliar environment, given all the exercise!). Because of our experience caring for Fonzie, who had mobility issues in her final years, I've also got a soft spot for looking after older dogs. I certainly won't be pushing your dog to walk more than he or she wants. We'll make sure the activity level/duration is appropriate for age, breed and overall health, following your own instructions closely. I'm a freelance writer, with the freedom to pick (or skip) assignments given that I'm approaching retirement age and frankly more interested in getting out for my own daily walk! If your dog is with me, I won't be getting distracted by work. We'll just walk somewhere nice and meet some other dogs along the way. In my home, your dog will be encouraged to sleep on a dog bed in the living room, but I'm not precious. We do have a comfy and well-worn leather sofa that Fonzie certainly preferred and your dog will be welcome to it, if the dog bed doesn't appeal. I'll stay overnight in the living room with your dog. I'll want to keep my visitor company and ensure there's no wimpering. For any quick potty breaks, we have parkland directly outside our home, so we'll go out at night and first thing in the morning, get some food, and then perhaps head out for a longer walk with snacks in the backpack. If you need me to look after your dog overnight in your own home, I'll simply follow whatever your instructions are. I'm a man of simple tastes, so you won't need to make any special accommodations for me.

“Nallely did an excellent job looking after my cat Nelly while I was away. Throughout the weekend she sent lots of updates and I was able to relax knowing that my cat was in good hands. Nallely is also a lovely person who puts in so much effort. I wouldn't hesitate to ask her to look after Nelly again!”
“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: 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.
“Liz S. is a true cat whisperer. My 15-year-old ginger cat is extremely shy and fearful. He never lets strangers touch him and usually hides under the bed or beneath the covers, even when close friends visit. Yet within less than five minutes of meeting Liz, he was already eating treats from her hand, and by the next day he even let her pet him. Liz’s warm, calm, and incredibly patient nature made him feel safe while I was away. Thanks to that, he didn’t experience the stress-related health issues he had after previous short trips. I’m so grateful to have found her, and I will absolutely ask for her help again in the future.”
“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!”
“She was nice with my cats, quick replies on masseges and good communication. My home was waiting me to come back with the 2cats in good care. Well fed just missing me :) Recommend Natalia”
“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.”
“Carolina was great, she communicated quickly beforehand and sent lots of photo updates during her stay. She obviously cares about cats, was respectful of our house and won Luna over. Luna was definitely happy and relaxed, so much so she brought Carolina a mouse on her last day 😅 Will definitely book her again!! ”
About: I have experience caring for cats and other pets in Brazil. I have looked after pets for friends, family and neighbours, making sure they were fed, comfortable and well cared for. I also worked as a youth apprentice at a dog daycare, where I gained valuable experience caring for animals. I am responsible, patient and attentive to each pet’s needs.
“Viki was amazing with our cat Daisy. She sent great updates with lots of cute photos and videos. Daisy seemed to really like her and they got along very well. Viki fed, brushed, played, and cuddled with her which we super appreciated. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wonderful sitter to take care of your cat!”
“Eva watched my 7-month old kitten for over a week. When booking, she was extremely accommodating and responsive. My cat seemed very relaxed and at-ease when I picked her up. It's quite evident that Eva does all she can to ensure top-notch care when sitting. Would absolutely recommend her for any pet sitting needs :)”
“Paulina took such great care of our cat while we were traveling, I couldn’t have asked for a more caring or dedicated sitter! She was extremely attentive to any changes in behavior, she made sure our cat was comfortable and happy, and she even ran to the store to replace the cat litter after a small incident. She really went above and beyond to make sure our cat had a great week! I would highly recommend Paulina to anyone looking for a sitter, I felt like I could really trust her to take care of our kitty!”
About: I have experience caring for cats for clients as well as friends and family. I am comfortable feeding, playing with, cleaning litter trays, and ensuring cats feel safe and relaxed in their home environment. I understand that every cat has a unique personality and routine, and I always provide patient, attentive care. I am reliable, responsible, and committed to keeping cats happy, healthy, and comfortable while their owners are away.
About: I’ve loved cats for many years and had my own cat in Mexico, so I understand how important they are as family members. I’m patient, caring, and attentive to their needs. I enjoy feeding, playing, keeping litter boxes clean, and making cats feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away.
About: I’ve had a lifelong appreciation for cats and find their unique personalities incredibly rewarding to be around. From engaging them with interactive play and respecting their individual habits to making sure they stay comfortable and relaxed, I enjoy creating a positive environment for every cat in my care. People close to me frequently rely on me to watch their cats because they know I’m dependable, attentive, and genuinely invested in each pet’s well-being. Looking after cats is more than a responsibility to me—it’s something I find fulfilling, and I always strive to give them the same level of care and consideration I would give my own pets.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Dublin
“I can’t recommend Gerard highly enough! He’s so kind and caring, and my dog absolutely loves staying with him. It’s such a relief knowing my dog is happy, well looked after, and having fun. I really appreciate the photo updates during the day — they always make me smile! Everything is always easy, reliable, and stress-free.”
“Lorrayne and Francini took such great care of our puppy Merlot! We had regular updates and pictures throughout the day which was lovely to see and he was clearly so happy in their care and with their company! Would highly recommend their services.”
About: You can call me Tyra! I have a lifetime of hands-on experience, from growing up with dogs to working summers at my sister’s professional pet salon. I’ve cared for any fluffy babies ranging from high-energy puppies to gentle seniors, and have multiple experiences with pet sitting. I offer not just love and attention, but the trained eye to notice when something’s off because to me, they are family. Pet care fits naturally into my routine: I can work from home, so I’m around throughout the day for regular walks, playtime, and attention. Living near the heart of Dublin City Centre, I have easy access to dog-friendly paths and green spaces, making daily walks a joy for both me and the pups I care for. Whether it’s a quick stroll or a long outing, I love weaving pet care seamlessly into my everyday life. When caring for pets in my home, I aim to create a calm, cozy environment where they can feel safe. Through routine walks, play, and cuddles, I keep a consistent schedule for feeding, bathroom breaks, and downtime. Always tuned in to their individual needs and personality.
“Mister LOVED Marisa so much that he was crying when we picked him up, he’s such an energetic fella and Marisa really accommodated to his needs, such a great and sweat person 1000% recommend her to look after your pup. I will definitely booked her again when needed.”
“We have left Lennon with Chiara and Gianmarco a few times now and couldn’t be happier with the service. They are very good with Lennon he always comes home happy. Would recommend them to anyone that wants a great service. We have Lennon booked in a few more times.”
About: I have 10 years of experience caring for a Yorkshire Terrier, which gave me a strong understanding of dogs and their individual needs. I also spent time teaching my dog different tricks, so I’m patient, attentive, and enjoy interacting with pets in a positive and engaging way. Besides dogs, I’ve also cared for other animals, so I’m very familiar with different personalities and special care routines. I also have experience looking after other people’s pets, including cats, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I’m available on weekends and can give your pet my full attention and care throughout the day. I offer weekend boarding from Friday to Sunday, making sure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and loved like at home. During the week, I’m available in the afternoons from 4:00 PM onwards for walks, visits, or pet sitting. On weekends, your pet will enjoy daily walks every few hours in a nearby park where they can explore, play, and enjoy the outdoors. I also provide lots of cuddles, playtime, and attention, so they’ll always feel entertained, happy, and cared for while staying with me. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I don’t have any pets at home, so you won’t need to worry about your dog feeling stressed or uncomfortable around other animals. Your pet will be able to relax freely and safely anywhere in my home. Although I don’t have a garden, I make sure every dog gets plenty of outdoor time, exercise, and fresh air through regular walks and playtime. I’ll always ensure your pet has enough activity, attention, and care to feel happy, entertained, and comfortable during their stay with me. I also understand how important it is for owners to feel reassured while away from their pets. If you would like, I can stay in contact with you during your pet’s stay, giving you updates on how they are doing, the walks we’ve been on, and sending photos so you can feel connected and at ease. I always try to create a calm, loving, and trustworthy environment where pets can feel at home and owners can have peace of mind knowing their furry friend is in safe hands.
“I had never left Rosie with a sitter before, Esther really put my mind at ease. She sent me regular updates, with pictures and videos which were brilliant. She treated Rosie like she was her own dog. I will definitely be booking her in again with Esther, and I couldn’t recommend her enough”
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life, and caring for them has always been a natural part of who I am. I grew up in the countryside in Chile, where we were lucky to have four German Shepherds and one Dachshund—so I learned from a young age how to understand, respect, and care for different personalities and energy levels. Over the years, I also had the opportunity to care for Dobermans, a breed I truly love. I looked after them for three years at my family home, gaining experience with larger, more active dogs that require structure, attention, and confidence. When I became independent, I was gifted a brown Dachshund, who I have cared for since she was just 3 months old—she is my little princess. Although I don’t currently live with my dogs, they remain a very important part of my life. Friends and neighbors have also trusted me to care for their dogs, including Chihuahuas, Border Collies, Dobermans, and Dachshunds. This has given me valuable experience with a wide range of temperaments and energy levels, allowing me to adapt to each dog’s unique. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and always make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved. 🐶💛 Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I work remotely in the afternoons, which means I have my mornings and early afternoons fully available to dedicate to dog walking and pet care. I usually start my day early, so I can easily adapt to different schedules depending on each dog’s needs—whether that’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or spending a few hours keeping them company. Since I already have a structured routine, incorporating pet care is something I truly enjoy rather than something I have to fit in. I’m also flexible during the week and can organize my schedule in advance to ensure each pet receives the time, attention, and care they need. For longer stays or in-home care, I’m happy to adjust my routine to make sure pets feel comfortable and well looked after. I always adapt my care depending on each pet’s routine, personality, and the service required, whether it’s in my home or in the owner’s home. When caring for pets in my home, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and relaxed. I live in an apartment with a secure inner courtyard and a terrace, so they can enjoy fresh air in a safe environment. I maintain a calm and clean space, follow their usual feeding schedule, and ensure they get enough exercise, playtime, and affection. When I care for pets in their own home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent as possible. I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding, walks, medication if needed, and any specific habits they have. I also make sure they feel accompanied, respected, and stress-free in their familiar environment. In both cases, I pay close attention to their behavior and needs, making sure they are happy, safe, and well cared for at all times. I also like to keep owners updated with messages or photos, so they feel reassured while they are away.
About: About Jaine Animals have always been a very important part of my life. I grew up surrounded by dogs and, even today, my three beloved companions — Ted (a Pug), Amora (a Black Labrador), and Iron (an American Bully) — live with my parents in Brazil while I am living in Ireland. Being away from them has made me appreciate even more how important pets are: they are truly part of the family. Having cared for animals throughout my entire life, I understand that every pet has its own personality, routine, and needs. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, playful, or prefers a calmer environment, I will always treat them with patience, kindness, respect, and genuine care. My goal is to make both you and your pet feel comfortable and confident while you are apart. I will care for your pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and well looked after at all times. As an added bonus, I am also a professional photographer and I love capturing natural, candid moments of pets. During our time together, I can take beautiful photos so you can receive updates and special memories of your furry friend. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! Now, I have adopted an Irish cat and I am completely in love with him. I am sure that I will take care of your pet with the same love, affection and attention that I give to my own. I have an extra skill as a photographer and I love photographing pets. So, in addition to taking care of your pet with all the love and affection, I can take beautiful photos of your friend! But nothing your dog/cat wouldn’t want — I value candid photos that showcase the true personality and joy of pets. I believe that capturing these authentic moments creates lasting memories for their owners. Plus, I always maintain a safe and comfortable environment for the animals, ensuring that they feel happy and at ease during our sessions.
“I got in contact last minute with Gabriella. She responded immediately and was very accommodating. Gabriella was fantastic with buddy. She sent pictures and brought him to the park. I would highly recommend her. We will be using Gabriella again. ”

About: I’ve spent over half my life surrounded by animals, as my neighbor growing up was a vet. I currently don’t have any pets, so your dog or cat would get my full undivided attention! I’ve personally potty trained two dogs (with a lot of treats and perseverance!), and I genuinely love caring for animals. I also have experience with senior dogs, and administering oral medication. I treat every pet like they’re my own, with patience, attention, and a lot of affection. I work full-time but with a flexible in-office schedule so I can be at home on the days where your pet is staying with me. I am able to provide toilet breaks every 2-3 hours, or more frequently for puppies. I live in a flat with a balcony on the 3rd floor which is accessible by elevator and stairs. There is also a fenced courtyard in the building with a garden where pets are free to play.
About: Hey everyone, I'm Vini and I can take care of your furry loved one! I’ve always had a dog in my life, so I know how stressful it can be to leave your pet when you go away. You can count on me to make every effort so your pet has a peaceful, fun time while you’re off!” I've had a few dogs in my lifetime: a spiky Cocker Spaniel always running after birds, a chill Golden Retriever (the happiest dog I've ever seen), and a Belgian Malinois — or 'The Devil,' as my mom used to call him. All of them had different personalities and energy levels, and this has taught me how to deal with different personalities and needs. So no matter your dog's quirks, we'll make sure they feel right at home. My apartment is quiet, cozy, and has plenty of space, with a balcony that gets 8+ hours of sunlight a day and a massive rooftop where your pet can run freely without having to worry about a thing! Fairview Park is only a 10-minute walk from our place, and Griffith Park is 25 minutes away. I have great options if your dog loves going for walks. I also have easy parking available for drop-offs and pick-ups. I only take 2 pets at a time to ensure they get the level of attention and care they need. Walks will be done according to the owners advice and dogs must be vaccinated and used to living indoors. I'm into dog training and can teach your dog some tricks if you wish :) Staying at a new place is always a different experience for every pet. I'll make sure that they have a comfortable and secure stay, being careful not to overstimulate them, as this is critical for pets in new environments. Fairview Veterinary Hospital is nearby in case of any emergencies. I work from home full time, so your pet is never left alone and has a caring and fun company 24/7 while you're away. I have a big balcony that gets sun all day and a massive fenced rooftop where your pet can run freely with safety and no concerns.
“Gigi’s stay with Bernadette could not have been better. We both received a fantastic welcome and it was obvious from the first minute that Bernadette and Thomas were 100% doggie people. We had only adopted Gigi 4 weeks ago and were worried that leaving her for the day would set her back however on collecting her she was in fabulous form having had a walk in the local park and the freedom of exploring their lovely enclosed garden. All in all she had a fabulous time and is looking forward to her next visit.”
About: I only take one dog at a time so your baby gets all the attention and love they need. Love is all we need. 🫶 I’m Jessica, and I absolutely love dogs! I’m super caring and will do my best to keep your pup happy. I have over 15 years of experience with dogs and had two of my own. Django, my Schnauzer, had a heart condition that required special care, so I have experience handling medication and responding to emergency situations. Nola, my rescue dog, suffered severe abuse from her previous owner, which led to panic attacks. Her episodes are managed with CBD oil, a cozy blanket, soothing words, and lots of cuddles. Because of this, I’m also well-versed in helping anxious dogs feel safe and secure. I always visit Nola, she’s been with my sister. (you can see photos of Django and Nola in my photo gallery!). My apartment is 60 meters square (please see some photos of my place in my photo gallery), is very central, near Jervis, with easy access to great walking spots. There’s a green area just a minute away behind The Church Bar, perfect for quick outings. If your dog is energetic, I’m happy to go for up to five walks a day. Otherwise, we can enjoy a cozy day full of cuddles.
About: Let’s begin this by saying that I absolutely love and adore dogs. I am a very patient and caring person and I connect deeply with animals , especially dogs.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since secondary school, I have a dog (mini golden doodle, Violet) at home who I love so much! I moved from the USA to Ireland for university and am looking to spend time with some furry friends. I also have experience dog sitting and walking! I am working a hybrid internship, so I am pretty flexible throughout the week. Weekends are also perfect timing for me. I live near the city center so everywhere is pretty accessible for me! I make sure there is a fence in the yard if the dog can play off the lead and I make sure to provide plenty of treats and water according to the owners dietary info.
About: You can call me Tyra! I have a lifetime of hands-on experience, from growing up with dogs to working summers at my sister’s professional pet salon. I’ve cared for any fluffy babies ranging from high-energy puppies to gentle seniors, and have multiple experiences with pet sitting. I offer not just love and attention, but the trained eye to notice when something’s off because to me, they are family. Pet care fits naturally into my routine: I can work from home, so I’m around throughout the day for regular walks, playtime, and attention. Living near the heart of Dublin City Centre, I have easy access to dog-friendly paths and green spaces, making daily walks a joy for both me and the pups I care for.

It is a difficult process, but they still need treat and cuddles so they feel comfortable. I also enjoy walking them. Regarding to cats, I've taken care of my own cats and from my family's. I can administer oral medication and play with them. I study in the mornings and work in the afternoons, until 6pm, from Monday to Saturday. I'm free after 6pm. On Sundays I'm free all day. It will a pleasure to spend hours with the little furry guys. I can spend up to 2 hours with them daily. On Sunday I can dedicate my entire time for them. I don't care pets in my own home, since a I share with other people. I go to the owner's home. I take notes of all instructions you give me, regarding to your pets, if they need special treatment, and about the house, specifically careful about opened doors and windows.

About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was 3 years old; my parents introduced me to this passion.

Later, I took some courses to improve my skills in bathing and grooming My daily and weekly routine is quite full, but on Friday mornings I'm free all weekend. And maybe I can sleep in during the week Unfortunately, I am currently unable to host your dog at my home, so it would be a pleasure to care for him at your home where he feels most comfortable.
About: Hello, fur parents! My name is Verónica. Animals are my absolute weakness; they fill me with incredible energy and I love spending time with them. When I look after a pet, what matters most is that you leave with total peace of mind and your furry friend receives tons of love. I have had three dogs in my life, each with a completely different personality. Having raised multiple pets at once, I know exactly how to manage different dynamics and split my attention so every animal feels equally loved. Thanks to them, I also learned how to handle anxious pets with calm energy and patience. I easily adapt to active dogs who love long walks or those who prefer resting happily belly-up. To avoid any stress, I care for them directly at your house—and I am highly flexible to stay for as many hours as your pet needs. I can also administer basic oral medications or supplements if required, and gladly help reinforce simple training commands. For safety, we will go out for relaxing 30 to 45-minute walks always keeping dogs securely on their leash. A typical visit includes feeding, refreshing water, playtime, and lots of cuddles. I have open daily availability and keep your vet's contact ready for emergencies. I can't wait to meet your best friend and care for them like my own! I absolutely love spending my free time with pets! On weekends, I’m fully available all day for fun adventures. From Monday to Friday, I’m ready to share my mornings with your fur babies until 1:00 PM, and I'll jump right back into pet care after 5:00 PM once my English classes finish! Your pet's safety and happiness are my top priorities! I will shower your fur baby with love, play, and endless affection while strictly following your instructions. I’ll keep your home safe, maintain their exact routine, and send you tons of cute photo updates so you can see how much fun we are having!

“I found Gerard to be a great dog sitter. He looked after my dog Archie who had a great time. Gerard sent me photos everyday of Archie on his walk or relaxing in the house. I would definitely use Gerard again as a sitter.”
“Nadine and Raphael were fantastic. Our dog had an amazing time. She was looked after so well. She was brought to the beach, cliff walks and spent plenty of time in the park. Our dog is very high energy and she was well matched with Enzo. We'd highly recommend and book again in a heartbeat ☺️ They kept us updated everyday which really helped ease our nerves while away. Thanks so much guys!”
“Maham was absolutely brilliant with Elton , from the moment we arrived at her home she made us both so comfortable. I was very reassured that Elton would be looked after very well During his stay I received lots of updates , communication was clear and put my mind at ease Mahram was very understanding and accommodating with Elton , I was asked about his preferences for walking and times for eating and these were adhered to throughout his stay”
“Oliver and his family were very welcoming when they met Cosmo and I at an initial meet and greet. Their home is perfectly set up for pets as the living area leads directly out into the garden. It was very obvious very quickly that Oliver is a natural when it comes to connecting with dogs. Cosmo was immediately comfortable with Oliver and his family. I knew Cosmo would be in great hands. Oliver kept me up to date with photos and feedback which was extremely comforting for me and very much appreciated. It was great to see Cosmo enjoying her stay and that she was settling in without issue. I highly recommend Oliver to look after your dog if you want peace of mind and I will definitely be using Oliver again in the near future.”
About: I'm a part-time writer who's originally from the USA but has lived in Ireland for close to four decades. I grew up in a house full of dogs, from collies to Saint Bernards, and learned to handle various dogs as a paperboy. Today I live in Drumcondra in central Dublin with partner Dawn and 16-year-old son Harry. Our home is missing our beloved Fonzie, our rescue dog of 17 years, who passed away in 2024. I've been thinking about taking up dog walking/boarding ever since, in part because I'm an avid walker (and no longer an avid writer!). On my near-daily walks I'm always talking to fellow hikers with dogs, and it just seems a missed opportunity not to have a dog with me, too. So I'm open to tailoring walks that really suit your dog, even daylong adventures with a picnic somewhere nice in the middle. If your dog would be staying overnight, or longer, it'll be even better, because my partner Dawn is the true dog fanatic in the family. It'll be nonstop cuddles once she's home. One key commitment from me is that your dog will feel at home, in a family environment, and will never be left alone. That includes nighttime, when I'll be sleeping in the living room nearby your dog (who I am betting will get a particularly good night's sleep, despite the unfamiliar environment, given all the exercise!). Because of our experience caring for Fonzie, who had mobility issues in her final years, I've also got a soft spot for looking after older dogs. I certainly won't be pushing your dog to walk more than he or she wants. We'll make sure the activity level/duration is appropriate for age, breed and overall health, following your own instructions closely. I'm a freelance writer, with the freedom to pick (or skip) assignments given that I'm approaching retirement age and frankly more interested in getting out for my own daily walk! If your dog is with me, I won't be getting distracted by work. We'll just walk somewhere nice and meet some other dogs along the way. In my home, your dog will be encouraged to sleep on a dog bed in the living room, but I'm not precious. We do have a comfy and well-worn leather sofa that Fonzie certainly preferred and your dog will be welcome to it, if the dog bed doesn't appeal. I'll stay overnight in the living room with your dog. I'll want to keep my visitor company and ensure there's no wimpering. For any quick potty breaks, we have parkland directly outside our home, so we'll go out at night and first thing in the morning, get some food, and then perhaps head out for a longer walk with snacks in the backpack. If you need me to look after your dog overnight in your own home, I'll simply follow whatever your instructions are. I'm a man of simple tastes, so you won't need to make any special accommodations for me.
“Aisha was the perfect host for our nervous and reactive lurcher. She really made her feel at home and was in regular contact with updates. We got delayed coming back and she was very accommodating to our situation. Couldn't recommend more.”
About: We’ve always had dogs here in our house in Marino for the past 40 years, our beloved Jack (Basset/King Charles) passed away at the age of 16 two years ago and we miss his company around the house. Hoping to meet some new fury friends. Myself and my husband are retired now so we have time to devote to minding or walking dogs. The heartbreak of losing our beloved Jack , after 16 years is still painful, he’s sorely missed . For many reasons we decided not to get another dog-there is no replacing our Jack! We’re free to take care of dogs who need walking, caring and kindness.👍🏻 We have a big fenced garden and a park nearby where we can walk your dog on a lead of course. We have a dog bed here for when your dog needs to rest. We live close to Clontarf and can walk dogs out on the seafront when the weather permits.
“I couldn’t recommend Dovile and her partner Josh enough! They took such amazing care of biggie and gave us such lovely updates everyday! He had the most wonderful stay with them both”
“Marisa has minded our dog Milo. While we were away for a couple of days Marisa has taken care of Milo gave him so much attention and so much care towards him. Marisa kept us updated with photos and little messages that gave us complete peace of mind. Marisa was such a sweetheart. Would definitely recommend!!!”
About: I love taking care of pets, they will never lack walks, attention, protection, making them feel calm and cared for. I know what it's like for a person to leave their pet in the care of another, that's why I want you to be calm because it's in safe hands Para mí, cuidar una mascota es mucho más que vigilarla. Me gusta crear un ambiente donde se sienta tranquila, querida y segura. Soy paciente, cariñosa y muy observadora, por lo que presto atención a los pequeños detalles que hacen que cada animal se sienta cómodo. Disfruto jugando, paseando y compartiendo tiempo con ellos, siempre respetando sus hábitos y personalidad. Mi prioridad es que tu mascota esté feliz y que tú tengas la tranquilidad de saber que está en buenas manos. I work from home, so I can take care of your pet most of the day.

About: Hey everyone, I'm Vini and I can take care of your furry loved one! I’ve always had a dog in my life, so I know how stressful it can be to leave your pet when you go away. You can count on me to make every effort so your pet has a peaceful, fun time while you’re off!” I've had a few dogs in my lifetime: a spiky Cocker Spaniel always running after birds, a chill Golden Retriever (the happiest dog I've ever seen), and a Belgian Malinois — or 'The Devil,' as my mom used to call him. All of them had different personalities and energy levels, and this has taught me how to deal with different personalities and needs. So no matter your dog's quirks, we'll make sure they feel right at home. My apartment is quiet, cozy, and has plenty of space, with a balcony that gets 8+ hours of sunlight a day and a massive rooftop where your pet can run freely without having to worry about a thing! Fairview Park is only a 10-minute walk from our place, and Griffith Park is 25 minutes away. I have great options if your dog loves going for walks. I also have easy parking available for drop-offs and pick-ups. I only take 2 pets at a time to ensure they get the level of attention and care they need. Walks will be done according to the owners advice and dogs must be vaccinated and used to living indoors. I'm into dog training and can teach your dog some tricks if you wish :) Staying at a new place is always a different experience for every pet. I'll make sure that they have a comfortable and secure stay, being careful not to overstimulate them, as this is critical for pets in new environments. Fairview Veterinary Hospital is nearby in case of any emergencies. I work from home full time, so your pet is never left alone and has a caring and fun company 24/7 while you're away. I have a big balcony that gets sun all day and a massive fenced rooftop where your pet can run freely with safety and no concerns.
“Marisa was a brilliant sitter for our two Pomeranians. Great communication, regular updates and check-in’s and flexible about drop off and pick up. They clearly had a great time with her and seem to have come back with some new manners on them. Our 1 year dog picked up a stomach bug while we were away and Marisa let us know what was going on, took him to our vets in a taxi and sorted out his medication. While we were all a bit worried about him she dealt with it calmly and he was already improving by the end of the evening. We will definitely book with her again and it’s great to know we have someone the pups love spending time with.”
“Teddy was incredibly well looked after by Hana. He got to do all his favourite things like go for walks, go to the beach, sunbathe and eat treats. He couldn’t have asked for a better weekend, and was reluctant to leave when we picked him up. 10/10”

About: Hey I'm Gabriella! With 5 years of fostering rescue dog experience, I have cared for a wide variety of breeds, activity levels, ages, medical needs, and behavioural issues -- they are all loved equally! I officially adopted my 7th foster, Zolah, in March 2021, she's the sweetest terrier mix who loves all dogs & people she has met. I'm currently living abroad in Ireland for the last 3.5 years, and Zolah is back in Canada with my family. I'm on Rover as I miss having a dog companion around and looking to open my home to a furry friend when I'm available. I have the flexibility to work from home all day and able to work flexible hours/take breaks to ensure your dog gets activity and belly rubs throughout the day. I live right around the corner from Merrion Square park on the ground level (minimal stairs) so I can easily take your dog out as often as they need. Whether your dog is super-laid back or loves running around, I will find the best way to care for them while you are away and always provide a ton of updates! Let me know your dogs favourite activities and I will be happy to cater to them! Can't wait to meet you and your pup! I require all the dogs to have up to date vaccination, house trained, not aggressive towards people and other dogs, and have an overall demeanour that still allows for non-distracted work to be done. Let me know of any questions :) I work full-time and have the flexibility to work from home - when I get a request, that's typically when I do my WFH days :) For dog boarding, my preference is to first do a doggy daycare day to see if your pup and my space are a good match! I have a small courtyard out the back and am around the corner from a large park which is where I typically take dogs for a walk - I'm about a 25 min walk from the beach so I also like to take them by there for longer visits
