About: I love cats and dogs! I always had pets growing up and they’ve all been loved members of the family 💖 I currently have a 1.5 year old terrier/ collie cross who loves having other furry friends around to play with! I work from home so your dog won't be lonely during the day and will be well-cared for and made to feel part of the family while they're here. I have a large, fenced-in back garden and lots of toys for the doggos to play with. We're centrally located in Kilkenny so easy for drop-offs and collections. Every morning I meet a group of doggie moms along the canal walk where the doggies get to run and play with their friends. I take Lola and whoever I’m minding out again to the park next door in the afternoon/ evening for another run and play. I have a large, fenced in garden and Lola is always delighted to have another furry friend to play with! I have a large and a small crate if your dog is used to being crated. Dogs are always on the lead when we’re leaving the house to get into the car.

“Highly recommended. Went above and beyond with communication. Timely and trustworthy. Was really good with my dog and due to my circumstances, came back the next morning and took him out to go the bathroom at no extra cost.”
About: I’ve owned and looked after dogs all my life, I don’t just go on walks with them, I interact with them and give them attention all along the way. I enjoy the company on my walks ☺️ I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pets. with time for walks, play, and attention.

About: Loving, caring, and genuinely make all dogs feel like they are my own! Dogs are like family, I take pride in making sure that they will always be excited to see me. Training experience in the past. Love taking pictures, so you would always be updated as much as you’d like! I’ve decided to take time off work to be with my son, but absolutely love walking around the town! I genuinely enjoy taking care of dogs whether it’s walking them, letting them out, or visiting them just so they aren’t alone! I wanted to do something that thoroughly love and enjoy even if it’s rain or shine. Pets deserve to be inside, not outside unless it’s for the toilet, playing, and releasing energy! The furniture is part of the home, it’s ok for them to sit on it as well. Treats are given (if it’s allowed by the owner of course) play time is a necessity, and dogs who are great with little ones!

About: I grew up with big dogs — my dad loved Caucasian Shepherds. As an adult, I always wanted a dog, but working full-time made it tricky, so my partner and I got a cat instead. After we split up, the cat stayed with him, and I’ve been missing having an animal around ever since. Now I love taking care of my friends’ dogs when they go on holidays. Pet sitting and dog walking is a great way for me to spend time with animals and get to know different breeds. I believe every one is different, just like people. It’s all about being patient and finding that connection. I’m currently studying and free most of the day — feel free to share your preferred schedule, and I’ll do my best to fit in. I can play with, feed, clean up after, change litter boxes, and brush your pet’s fur. I’m happy to send you videos so you can see how they’re doing. If you’re busy, I can also take your pet to vet appointments. Most importantly, I’ll follow your instructions and make sure your pet is happy, comfortable, and well cared for.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-to-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Kilkenny. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighbourhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
Tip: Keep in mind that many cities require your dog walker to have a permit or licence for group walks.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poo and pee breaks, and distance travelled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Kilkenny.

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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and Walkers on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Many sitters keep their calendars updated in real time and you can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care in the next 24 hours, you can look for sitters with a 'calendar last updated' notice on their profiles.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cut-off time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will apply. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
