About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life. I have taken care of them as a puppy all the way to caring for them as senior dogs. I miss having a dog in the house and I would love to pet sit for anyone. I currently work full time but my hours are flexible. I am available every weekend and some days during the week. Your pet will get plenty of rubs and walks. I have a fenced garden in my house. I don’t have any dogs in my home at the minute but it is pet friendly. I live beside the Curragh so your pet will be walked every day!
About: I’ve been taken care of my friends dog for a long time and got my first dog 3 years ago. I adore dogs and can’t imagine myself without them around anymore. ❤️ I’m currently working remotely so I can mind the dog 24/7! Lots of playtime and love I have 7 years of experience minding small dogs We have a nice fenced garden and we walk our dog Pandora (Maltese) twice daily. So it’s a safe place for your little one 🐶
“Absolutely lovely care shown to our 11-year-old puppy Buddy by Pablo during his stay, he received daily walks and many cuddles and looked as refreshed as we did after our weekend break. :) Many thanks to Pablo for taking such good care of our furry family member.”
“Our 3 dogs had a great time with Paul and Michelle, one of ours was anxious and they went out of their way to ensure that he got extra special meals when he wouldn’t eat his kibble anymore. Every update they were happy and tails wagging. They bonded great with each other and I would definitely recommend booking with these guys. It is a home away from home atmosphere. Thanks again from Max, Tess and Fianna”
“Ciara was absolutely phenomenal with my Bichon, Fluffy. She can be very nervous and shy around new people and she fit right in. All through the week I got picture and video updates of Fluffy and didn't think she'd want to come home she was so spoiled! Cannot thank Ciara enough for her phenomenal care. Like many people I'm so nervous leaving my dog with other people and while being away but I'd really recommend Ciara to anybody and everybody. Not a bother on Fluffy and my mind was at complete ease 🥰”
“Daniel and his lovely family made our dogs first stay away from home, both easy for her and easy for us. We had lots of update pics and video clips so we knew how happy and cared for she was. She had a wonderful time. We could not have asked for anything more. Would recommend Daniel highly as a carer and would love to book again”
“Shreya looked after Dudley so well and kept us updated with photos etc. Dudley had a very happy time and was in great form after his short holiday. Shreya loves dogs and is clearly a kind and caring person. We can certainly recommend Shreya and Dudley is looking forward to staying with her again in the future. Thank you, Shreya! 🙏🐕😊”

About: I’ve always been a huge animal lover and have plenty of hands on experience caring for both dogs and cats. I grew up having dogs of my own, so looking after pets and making sure they feel happy, comfortable and well cared for has always been a natural part of my life. I currently have a cat of my own and regularly help care for my grandparents’ cats and dogs, as well as my sister’s dog. I’ve also helped neighbours with pet sitting and looking after their animals when they’ve been away or needed an extra hand. Through this, I’ve had experience caring for different pets with their own personalities, needs and routines. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, keeping pets company and following their usual routines. I know how important it is for pets to feel safe and settled when their owners aren’t around, so I always take the time to get to know them and make sure they get plenty of attention and affection. I’m reliable, patient and attentive, and I’m very happy to follow any specific instructions you have. I’d treat your pet with the same care and affection I give my own. As a secondary school teacher, I have a consistent weekly schedule and plenty of availability outside of school hours. I’m available for dog walking and drop in visits after 4pm on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays, and from 1:30pm onwards on Wednesdays. At weekends, my schedule is much more flexible and I’m available throughout the day for dog walking, pet sitting, drop in visits and longer periods of care. I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual routine wherever possible and can discuss individual needs and timings with you. I also have greater flexibility during school holidays and mid-term breaks. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine and individual needs, so I always aim to make their time with me as comfortable and familiar as possible. I’m happy to follow any instructions provided by owners regarding feeding, walks, exercise, playtime and their usual daily routine. When caring for a pet in their own home, I’m very respectful of both the pet’s space and the owner’s home. I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, companionship and playtime, as well as regular walks and toilet breaks where needed. I’m also happy to send regular photos and updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and being well looked after. Safety is really important to me, so I’ll always follow instructions regarding leads, feeding, interactions with other animals and anything else I should be aware of. Most importantly, I’ll treat every pet I look after with the same care, patience and affection I would give my own.
“Highly recommend, our dog Kobe was so well looked after and loved, thanks Mark, and for all the updates & photos we got, very reassuring, will not hesitate to use again in the future. Very quick to respond to booking request also which was greatly appreciated.”
“Kenia took such good care of Milly our cat. We were delighted with the regular updates Kenia sent… photos, videos and messages. She genuinely loves cats. We highly recommend Kenia and would be very happy for her to look after Milly again.”
“Renata was so lovely and took great care of Leo this weekend! It was such a comfort knowing he was being well looked after while we were away. We really appreciate her taking care of him and would love for her to look after Leo again. Thanks so much, Renata! ❤️🐾”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover and have grown up with big dogs, especially Golden Retrievers, my whole life. I have experience caring for dogs of different ages, including puppies, and love everything from long walks and outdoor adventures to relaxing on the couch with plenty of cuddles! I’m happy to offer both dog walking and pet sitting, depending on what suits you and your dog best. I work shifts, so my availability varies from week to week, but I’m very flexible and happy to work around your schedule where possible. I’ll always make sure your dog feels safe, happy and loved! I work shift work, so I am available to walk or mind your dog different days each week including mornings or evenings depending on what my schedule is. You can trust me because I have years experience of walking big golden retrievers who had lots of energy and strength! I will keep your dog safe and look after it as if it was my own pet.
“Leza has a lovely warm caring personality. Straight away Jessie took to her. She sent updates and pictures. I was completely at peace knowing she was being well looked after. I would highly recommend her . Already have her booked. Highly recommend her.”
“We are so happy with Natalia’s boarding service for our dog Molly! We left her with Natalia for 8 nights while we went on holiday, and she had such a fun time between daily walks, cuddles, playtimes, and even a day trip to Glendalough! We received daily updates of Molly through videos and pictures which made us feel very much at ease as we could see she was getting on great. We highly recommend Natalia for any service as she was incredibly caring and loving towards our Molly during her stay :) We will definitely be using Natalia the next time we need Molly minded!”

the most amazing welcome for Tito, welcomed into a wonderful loving family and was given expert care and cuddles and kisses a volonté. I would highly recommend Emily. 6 * if that was possible. She sent me pictures and videos and the dog settled so easily. Do not hesitate.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Kildare on Rover is {{median_grand_total_num.as_currency}} per night (as of {{date}}). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding 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 Dog Boarding.
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.
Finding the right boarding environment is all about peace of mind. Boarding with a sitter on Rover helps you find a cosy experience in a real home for your dog.
When searching for a host, look for a sitter who:
- Offers a secure, home-like environment that is clean and welcoming
- Adheres to your dog’s established routine for meals, activity, and rest
- Possesses relevant experience with your pet’s specific breed, size, and personality
- Maintains clear communication regarding the frequency of photo and message updates
Don’t skip the Meet & Greet! The free Meet & Greet is the best way to see where your dog will sleep and who they might play with.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up to date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be 'boarding ready'. Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in Kildare ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines such as Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Infectious Canine Hepatitis (Adenovirus), and Leptospirosis.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Some boarding sitters stay with the dogs in their care for most of the day, while others may step out for work, errands or other commitments. Each sitter’s schedule and the amount of time your dog may be left alone will vary, so it is important to agree expectations before the stay begins.
Before booking, tell the sitter how long your dog can comfortably be left alone and confirm their typical schedule during the stay. Adding the maximum number of hours your dog can be left alone to their profile can also help sitters decide whether they are the right match.
Boarding does not automatically include round-the-clock supervision. If your dog needs someone present at all times, ask whether the sitter offers constant care or 24/7 care. This may require a separate arrangement and may not be included in the sitter’s standard boarding rate.
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.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English, French, German, and Spanish from Mon-Sat 9am to 6pm. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a veterinary professional or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s booking protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three- or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-in visits, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12.00 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our booking protection will kick in. This means you'll get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
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.
