About: - Canine First Aid Trained - The Leash Reactive Dog Course certified - Eager to learn about dogs of all shapes, sizes and breeds. - I've taken care of and trained my family's dogs since I was 13 years old, and I've rushed to offer to take care of family and friends dogs when they're going on holiday! - My own dogs are quite the mix, I have a 13 year-old Belgian Shepherd, a 4 year-old Yorkie and a 4 year-old Lab-Elkhound mix, so I’m comfortable with a broad range of breeds, I’m currently walking a Siberian Husky and have dogsat an American Pitbull. -I absolutely adore dogs and have spent the last couple of years learning as much as I can to pursue my passion as a job, getting first aid certified, taking courses on canine body language, understanding that each and every dog is different and needs different things, I’m extremely driven to make this my full-time work and put my all into making sure each and every client is left happy. - I hope that you can trust your canine companions with me, and take peace of mind that they're being taken excellent care of and getting all of the attention and love that they deserve! 🐶🐾 I’m currently walking dogs about 3 times a day Monday to Friday and absolutely loving it! Rain or shine I’m there to make sure they get the exercise and stimulation they need. I also dog sit for friends and family whenever they go on holiday and am the first one anyone calls should their dog need taking care of! Myself and my fiancée are currently raising and training our cockapoo Cooper who just turned 1! So coming into the teenage phase but he’s making great progress! I treat ever clients dog as if they were my own, as I know how tough a decision it can be to leave them in the care of somebody else, let alone someone you came across on an app! 😊 I’m canine first aid certified and always carry a first aid kit with me whenever I’m caring for dogs, and I also have my own seperate insurance policy as it’s good to be prepared for anything! Ensuring that your dog is safe and happy are my main priorities, so that you can go to work/go on holiday with the peace of mind that your dog is in good hands and with someone who truly cares about their wellbeing! In terms of house sitting, I like to keep the dogs in as regular of a routine as possible while they are in their safe space, as they’re already dealing with a big change with you not being there. Whether that means drop ins just to make sure they have some company and get out, or constant care if they’re completely fretting and not being themselves, I’m happy to help! Also I’m an incredibly tidy person so I’ll be sure to leave the place exactly as you left it, and will carry out any extra things you might need done while you’re away within reason (watering plants, picking up some groceries for the day you’re back, etc.) Trust is absolutely key when it comes to choosing someone for your dog, so I insist on organising a meet & greet beforehand to ensure that you and your dog are happy and think that I’m the right fit!
About: I have experience caring for five pets from the same family: Thomas, Ameixa, Branca, Preta, and Nina. I was responsible for their daily care, including feeding them, giving medication when needed, playing with them, and taking them for walks. Thomas, in particular, had a leg issue and could not jump on the bed or sofa, as this could hurt his paw. With patience and consistency, I taught him to use a small set of stairs instead, so he could go up and down safely. Taking care of all five pets from the same household helped me develop patience, organization, and the ability to adapt to different personalities and needs. Pet care is a natural part of my daily and weekly routine. I organize my schedule to be flexible and reliable, allowing me to dedicate quality time to each pet. I plan my day around walks, visits, feeding times, and playtime, always respecting each pet’s routine and needs. I’m available during the week and on weekends, and I make sure every pet receives consistent attention, care, and affection. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. I always create a calm, clean, and secure environment, whether in my home or in the pet owner’s home. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medication, routines, and special needs. During walks, I stay attentive at all times and adapt the pace and environment to ensure each pet feels comfortable and safe. I treat every pet with patience, respect, and responsibility, and I keep owners informed with updates whenever needed so they feel confident and at ease.
About: About Me I am an experienced dog owner with a genuine love for animals and a calm, patient approach to caring for dogs. I have experience with large rescue dogs, having cared for two rescue dogs weighing around 60kg each. This has given me hands-on experience with strong dogs, different personalities, and dogs who may need extra patience, reassurance and time to feel comfortable. I understand that every dog is different. Some dogs need a long adventure, some need a calm walk, and some need someone who understands that trust takes time. My priority is always making sure your dog feels safe, comfortable and cared for. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate time to caring for dogs and providing reliable walks, visits and boarding when needed. I am mainly available on weekends and can also accommodate weekday availability depending on the service required. I understand how important consistency and routine are for dogs, so I always aim to provide care that fits naturally around their normal habits and needs. I have experience caring for large rescue dogs and understand the importance of patience, calm handling and building trust. I have owned two rescue dogs weighing around 60kg each, so I am comfortable with larger dogs and dogs who may need extra reassurance in new situations. I have a safe environment and always prioritise the dog's comfort, routine and wellbeing. I am happy to follow each owner's instructions regarding feeding, exercise, medication or any specific needs their dog may have.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Dunboyne on Rover is {{median_grand_total_num.as_currency}} per Visit (as of {{date}}). 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.
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialise in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your Eircode to find a sitter within walking distance in your neighbourhood.
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 Dunboyne 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.
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 Dunboyne 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 tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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.
