“Jennifer was excellent to work with. She was very professional and kind. She made our kitten feel right at home and sent loads of photos. She was also very understanding when I realised that I mistakenly reversed the timings for drop off and collection. We hope to use her again. Our kitten was very happy with her experience 🐈😻”
About: I’ve always had pets growing up, currently have two cats and a cheeky dog. I enjoy teaching him new tricks and chasing balls. I’ve taken care of all ages of dogs from months old to 18 years, and everything in between. Taken care of many cats and know how to keep them entertained. I’m currently enrolled in university in Galway, with about 14-18 hrs of lectures a week so I have plenty time between classes to care for and check on your pets. I don’t have the facilities to care for dogs in my own home, but I am more than happy to take care of your pet where they feel comfortable.
“Colette minded our cat Gretel over a weekend and we found her great! It gave us peace of mind knowing Gretel was well cared for. Colette let us know how each visit went and was always contactable if needed. We have already booked her for our next holiday. Thanks Colette!”
“We cannot recommend Asia enough! From our very first meeting it was clear that she is a genuinely nice, kind and caring person, who truly loves animals. Her gentle energy and attention to detail made a huge difference and we came home to 2 very happy and relaxed cats. If you are looking for a trustworthy, incredibly warm-hearted sitter, Asia is the absolute best. Would highly recommend.”
About: ***No pets living with me currently *** For me this genuinely wouldn’t be a job I just adore spending time with animals. I have two golden retrievers I have grown up feeding them and taking care of them my whole life. I also have put sat for my neighbours on many occasions I go on a walk in the morning by the sea. I come home and have lunch then I chill and do some work for a few hours. Then I go grocery shopping and then go on another walk by the sea before dinner and then I go to sleep. I live in a spacious apartment with a big courtyard and a balcony for potty. There is a prom near the sea near me so I walk a lot there
“Victoria took great care of my cat, Jesse, while I was away. Easy to communicate with, regular updates and Jesse loves her! This is the second time I've booked Victoria and I'm sure I'll be rebooking her again and again - great service!”
“Samara took wonderful care of our cat for a full week, updating us with videos, pictures and information without us needing to ask. Our cat is exceptionally shy but Samara managed to get some play time with her. Reliable, friendly and very thorough cat sitter who I would recommend to anyone, especially nervous cats.”
About: Although I don't have a dog of my own, I regularly care for my friend's dog and have experience looking after other animals. I genuinely enjoy spending time with pets and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I'm patient, responsible, and reliable, and as a student on summer holiday, I have a flexible schedule to give pets the attention and companionship they deserve. As a student on summer holiday, pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine. I have a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide regular dog walks, feeding, playtime, companionship, and consistent, reliable care. I ensure pets stay safe by following owners' instructions, securing doors and gates, removing hazards, keeping the home clean, and providing constant supervision and care.
About: Hi, I'm Carola! I have my own dog (a toy poodle), who's known for being a bit of a handful, he's had eye problems, so I'm experienced with giving medication. I've also looked after friends' dogs and cats while they were away on holiday. I love dogs and animals in general, I studied natural sciences and I'm currently doing my master's in marine biology. I'm only here for two months, but I'd love to help out if anyone needs a hand looking after their dog. I have classes in the mornings, so I'm almost always free in the afternoons. I'm usually free on Fridays and weekends too, so I have plenty of time to play with and spend time with your pets. I make sure your dog doesn't get bored and gets plenty of mental stimulation, so that he barely notices you're gone or at least stays busy and happy the whole time.
About: Myself and my partner Abi have been providing services on Rover since Autumn 2023, looking after a variety of dogs in all shapes and sizes - walking, feeding, bathing, cleaning up, nothing is off the table, I'm positive you'll find a trusted pet carer in me. Most of our availability will fall on Friday evenings or the weekend unless discussed in advance, we may also have availability during the week too. An average service when pet sitting in your home would include: full bowl 'fresh' water and a full bowl of pet food on arrival, taking your pet out for their business frequently as desired (varying on individual pet), a shower if required, kitty litter / dog dropping clean if/when required. I'm intuitive and willing to take on specific instructions catered to your pet, I have experience providing oral medication to anxious and allergic dogs on separate occasions.
“I've rebooked Sarah a few times now for minding my three little fur babies. She's great, really nice person to deal with and so reliable. I can rest assured that my cats are well looked after. She gave updates and I returned home to some well fed and relaxed kitties. Thank you Sarah!”
“Mags was absolutely brilliant with my 2 kitties Midna and Ezlo. Ezlo requires medication and Mags had no problems giving it to him! Midna is also a very standoffish kitty and she warmed to her very quickly! She kept me updated with lots of pics and let me know if there was anything off. Would highly recommend Mags if you’re looking for a cat sitter!”
About: I have always had animals since I was a child, and I have always taken good care of them. I grew up on a farm full of animals, so I learned how to look after them, respect them, and understand them. I really miss having a pet, so I decided to become a pet sitter. I work full-time from Monday to Thursday, so I am available full-time on weekends to look after your pets. I work from 2 PM onwards, so if you like, I can also help with your pets in the morning if necessary. I have always owned dogs, so I know exactly how to look after and care for them. I have raised them from puppyhood through to their senior years, so I am familiar with every stage of a dog's life. I am a very active person who enjoys the outdoors, so I can take your dogs out for walks as often as you like.
About: Hello! I am a professional jazz singer and dance instructor well-known within the Galway community. I offer an exclusive House Sitting service for owners who want their homes and pets treated with the utmost respect. I welcome dogs of all shapes and sizes. I am an experienced, calm, and highly responsible adult who is completely comfortable following strict walking and feeding schedules, administering prescribed medications if needed, or simply providing great companionship for your dog while keeping your home safe. What I offer: Reliable Routine Follower: I follow your exact medical, walking, and feeding schedules to the letter. Quiet Companionship: Since I spend my days preparing dance classes and practicing bass (using headphones), your pet will have plenty of company throughout the day. Guaranteed Security: As a public figure and educator in the city, my reputation is my bond. Your luxury home will be kept immaculate and secure. Weekend Evenings: On some weekends, I perform from 8 PM to 11 PM. Your pet will be walked, fed, and settled before I leave, and I will return straight after the show. As a freelance dance instructor and musician, I work on a highly flexible, part-time schedule. This allows me to spend most of my day directly at your home, providing constant companionship. My routine is perfect for pets who thrive on having a calm human presence around. On the specific evenings when I have jazz performances (typically from 8 PM to 11 PM), your pet will be fully fed, walked, and settled before I leave, and I will return straight back to the property immediately after the show. Security and respect for your property are my top priorities. I strictly provide care at the owner's home, ensuring your pet stays in their comfortable, familiar environment. I am extremely meticulous about locking doors, following your specific home security guidelines, and keeping everything immaculate. While at your home, my time is spent in a very quiet manner—either relaxing with your pet, planning my dance lessons, or practicing my bass using headphones so there is never any noise or disruption.
About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my lifelong experience with animals and the genuine love I have for them. I grew up on a farm, caring for dogs and cats from a young age, and I’ve continued to take care of my own pets and those of friends and landlords over the years. I understand that every pet has its own personality and needs, and I always treat them with patience, respect, and affection. I go beyond just feeding or walking I make sure pets feel safe, happy, and loved while their owners are away, sometimes even staying overnight to maintain their comfort and routine. I currently work 6 hours a day, but I am free in the morning until 10 a.m. and usually in the afternoon after 5 p.m... but everything can be discussed beforehand to fit into a routine where I can take care of your pet. I care for pets in their own home, always following their daily routine for feeding, play, and rest. I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved, giving plenty of attention, affection, and gentle interaction. My priority is their happiness and well-being while keeping their owner informed and reassured.
About: Hi! 👋 I’m a Brazilian living in Ireland for over a decade. I work in IT, which gives me some flexibility during the week. I’ve always loved animals — I used to have a cat back home, but I couldn’t bring him with me because of his health issues. He’s now living happily with my mom and her many cats (I’ve honestly lost count!). Here in Ireland, I have a dog, some fish, and lots of plants, so there’s always a bit of life around the house. I’d love to help care for your furry friend as if they were my own. 🐾 I work from home, so I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to make pet care visits throughout the day. I can easily accommodate feeding, walks, playtime, and check-ins based on your pet's routine and needs. I always follow the pet owner's instructions carefully because they know their pet's routine, preferences, and needs best. I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while maintaining a clean, secure, and stress-free environment.

We cannot recommend Asia enough! From our very first meeting it was clear that she is a genuinely nice, kind and caring person, who truly loves animals. Her gentle energy and attention to detail made a huge difference and we came home to 2 very happy and relaxed cats. If you are looking for a trustworthy, incredibly warm-hearted sitter, Asia is the absolute best. Would highly recommend.
Samara took wonderful care of our cat for a full week, updating us with videos, pictures and information without us needing to ask. Our cat is exceptionally shy but Samara managed to get some play time with her. Reliable, friendly and very thorough cat sitter who I would recommend to anyone, especially nervous cats.
We were absolutely delighted with Andreja! She was amazing with Suki and went above and beyond to make sure she was happy and well cared for while we were away. Suki had an issue with her paw just before our holiday and needed medication, and Andreja handled everything so well, even with some last-minute changes to her care. She kept us updated, replied quickly and was always so kind, reliable and caring. It was clear that she genuinely enjoyed spending time with Suki and we felt completely relaxed knowing she was in such good hands. We honestly couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter. Highly recommend Andreja! ❤️
Maryellen was great with my two very nervous cats. She very consciously and calmly respected their space without trying to approach too soon when she first came to meet them before the sitting period. She sent photos every day, and by day 3 both cats were happy to let her pet them! They were well looked after and I hope to book her again in the future!
Absolute perfect service from Yixing. We were gone 9 days and had her visit every second day, not only were the cats fed and watered, the cat litter was all cleaned up too. The cats had been played with and she genuinely built a bond with them. This cat sitter isnt just there to top up food and water bowls or empty cat litters, she'll spend time with them, playing with them and send videos and pictures every visit so you're completely up to date with how they're doing!
Alessandra looked after our two cats so well while we were away! I would absolutely recommend Alessandra as a cat sitter to everyone. She minded our babies with such great care and it’s very clear Alessandra is very knowledgeable on how to mind cats. Alessandra sent us photos and videos every day to put our minds at ease which was really helpful!

Look for sitters who highlight multi-pet expertise or check for verified reviews from other Galway 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 .
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.
You can find what you need to review a sitter on their profile before booking with them. Each sitter’s profile on Rover shows verified reviews, identity verification, and ratings to give a glimpse of how their previous visits went. You can also use the Meet & Greet to walk through your home, identifying which areas, like your bedroom, are off-limits or not. Requesting details of your home security through the app can also be a good way to have your sitter keep you updated about your home.
If you have security cameras or smart doorbells, Rover asks that you disclose them to sitters before you book.
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.
