“This was our second time booking Aga to mind Alfie & Luna, and it certainly won't be our last. Aga was as lovely and wonderful as always and kept us informed with the cutest pictures and updates whilst we were away. We returned home to two very content and happy kitties. Thanks so much again Aga x ”

About: I’ve had a love for dogs since I was young. I have taken care, fed and walked neighbours and family’s dogs over the years. I have also fostered puppies over time. The reason I don’t have any pets myself is because I live away from home for college so I wouldn’t be able to care for the animal. Hence why I enjoy being able to take care of pets when I am more flexible during the summer. I’m currently working part-time so I will have plenty of time to play with your animal. I would need three days notice prior to scheduling in. In my home, I have a secure, fully fenced garden with a low gate, perfect for safe play and fresh air. Indoors, pets have cozy, clean spaces to relax, with plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I maintain a calm and pet-friendly environment, keeping routines as close to their normal as possible. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all instructions carefully, ensure doors and gates are always secure, and respect the pet’s space while keeping things tidy and stress-free. There is also no other pets in my house.

About: Dog Care Experience: Puppyhood to Pro I have a deep love for dogs and a practical, hands-on understanding of what it takes to keep them happy, healthy, and well-behaved. My primary experience comes from raising my 6-year-old Cocker Spaniel, Marley, from a puppy. Training & Mental Stimulation I believe a tired dog is a happy dog! I’ve spent years working with Marley on: Positive Reinforcement: I’ve taught her a variety of tricks and essential commands to keep her mind sharp. Active Lifestyle: As a runner, I understand the importance of high-quality exercise. Whether your dog needs a brisk walk or a high-energy run, I can keep up! Breed-Specific Care Raising a Cocker Spaniel has made me an expert in the "finer details" of dog care: Grooming & Hygiene: I’m experienced with regular ear cleaning and coat maintenance—essential for Spaniels and other long-haired breeds. Affectionate Attention: I provide a balance of structured exercise and plenty of "sofa time" and affection. My Promise to You I treat every dog with the respect and care they deserve. I am reliable, attentive to body language, and committed to following your specific training cues and routines so your dog feels consistent and secure while you're away How Pet Care Fits Into My Life Because I work from home full-time, my schedule is incredibly flexible. Your pet won't just be a "task" on my list; they become my coworker for the day! Constant Companionship: WFH allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, fresh water refills, and plenty of mid-day head scratches. If your pet suffers from separation anxiety, they’ll find comfort in having a calm human presence nearby all day. Active Mornings & Evenings: I am a dedicated runner (out 3 times a week). For high-energy dogs, this means I’m more than happy to trade a slow walk for a steady jog to help them burn off extra steam. Structured Routine: My own dog, Marley, thrives on a schedule, and I bring that same discipline to your pet’s routine. Whether it’s a strict feeding time for a senior cat or a specific training window for a puppy, I have the time and environment to make it happen. Why This Works for You Reliability: You don't have to worry about me rushing back to an office. Expertise: I can monitor senior cats or medical needs throughout the day, not just in "drop-in" windows. Energy: I have the fitness level to handle even the most energetic breeds. Safety, Trust & Environment Whether in my home or yours, my priority is creating a "zero-stress" environment where your pet feels safe and secure. In My Home: Full-Time Supervision: Because I work from home, pets are never left unattended for long periods. I am always in the next room to monitor behavior and well-being. Marley-Approved: My 6-year-old Cocker Spaniel, Marley, is friendly and well-socialized. I always perform a "meet and greet" first to ensure a harmonious environment for everyone. Safe Spaces: My home is organized to provide quiet corners for senior cats or shy dogs who need a break from the action. In Your Home: Respect & Discretion: I treat your home with the same respect I treat your pet. I follow your security protocols (alarms, locks) exactly as instructed. Maintaining the Routine: Pets are most comfortable in their own space. I stick strictly to your feeding, walking, and medication schedules to minimize any "away-from-owner" anxiety. The "Runner’s Eye": On walks or runs, I am hyper-vigilant about surroundings, off-leash dogs, and pavement temperature to ensure your dog’s paws and safety are never compromised. My Trust Guarantee: Having managed a cat with Chronic Kidney Disease, I am used to being extremely observant. I’ll send you regular photo updates and "report cards" so you can see exactly how much fun (and relaxation) your pet is having.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life I got my first dog when I was 9, and I’ve never grown up in a home without a pet since. Caring for animals is second nature to me. I currently have 1 dog, 1 cat, and 3 adorable kittens, so I’m well used to all kinds of personalities, needs, and routines. I’m a true animal lover and would happily spend all day every day caring for furbabies. Whether it’s cuddles, playtime, feeding, walks, or just keeping them company! I treat every pet as if they’re my own. I’m fully available on weekdays and weekends for any pet care needs, whether it’s daytime walks, evening walks, check-ins, or pet sitting for a few hours or the whole day I create a peaceful and stress-free environment by caring for pets in their own home, where they feel most secure. I follow their usual routines, give them gentle attention, and keep their space clean and comforting. I’m trustworthy and respectful. I don’t offer overnights at my home due to my own dogs and cats.

About: Hi! I’m Han, an experienced dog lover offering dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting in your home.
I grew up around dogs and currently have two family dogs of my own – a puppy and a senior dog – so I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all ages, energy levels, and personalities. I also have experience caring for pets with additional needs, including blind and deaf dogs. One of my own beloved dogs, Baxter, is a blind Welsh Springer Spaniel, so I understand the patience, consistency, and attention that some pets require.
I work full-time as a Radiation Therapist and offer pet care on Wednesdays and weekends. I have my own car and am happy to travel to your home so your dog can stay in a familiar and comfortable environment. I work in healthcare, so I’m used to being reliable, organised and attentive to individual needs. I’m fully available on Wednesdays, which gives me plenty of time for longer walks, home visits and keeping pets company without rushing. I may also have some availability on evenings and weekends depending on my work schedule. I enjoy getting to know each pet’s routine and making sure they feel comfortable, safe and well cared for. I will tailor my services and care to each individual pet and their needs, as well as those of their sitter. My 10 year old springer is blind and I am used to taking care of senior dogs as well as puppies.

About: Hi! I’m a huge animal lover, and dogs have always been a big part of my life. Back home, I have my own dog, who I’ve cared for since he was a puppy and is truly the love of my life. Looking after him has taught me how important patience, routine, exercise, and plenty of affection are. Friends and family also trust me to care for their dogs while they’re away, whether that’s feeding, walking, playing, or simply keeping them company. I understand that every dog has their own personality and needs, and I’ll always treat your pet with the same love and care I give my own. I’ll also keep you updated with plenty of photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away I work full-time, but I work from home a couple of days during the week, which gives me extra flexibility to care for your pet. I’m also available in the evenings, weekends, and on my days off for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. I’ll always make sure your dog gets plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and lots of love, and I’ll keep you updated throughout their stay. Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I’ll always follow your routine and any instructions you provide, including feeding schedules, walks, medication, and any special requirements. I understand that every dog is different, so I’ll take the time to help them feel comfortable and secure. I’ll treat your pet with the same care and respect as I would my own, and I’ll keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you can relax knowing they’re in safe hands.

About: I have always loved animals and I am a responsible, caring and patient person. I enjoy spending time with dogs, going for walks, playing and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I pay attention to each dog’s routine and needs, and I will treat your pet with love and care as if they were my own. I currently work part-time, so I still have plenty of time to care for pets and give them lots of attention. During the week, I am available in the mornings until 10 AM and again after 6 PM. On weekends, I am available full-time. I truly enjoy spending time with animals, going for walks, playing with them, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while in my care. I currently provide pet care only in the owner’s home, so pets can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and keep their normal routine. I am a very responsible, caring, and trustworthy person, and I truly love spending time with dogs. My own dog is currently in Brazil, which made me miss being around pets even more. I can also take dogs for walks, play with them, give them lots of attention, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Kildare 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 Kildare 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 Kildare 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.
