“Molly had a fantastic time. She was so looked after. Lots of walks, cuddles and playtime. I received photos and videos during Molly's vacation with a great minder. She was all fresh and washed when I collected her. I definitely recommend and will be using Jennifer's services again. I'm sure Molly would agree with me!!!!”
“I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Abbie. Experienced with dogs and genuinely cares for your pup. I dropped Lady off with a limp and was quite worried but Abbie took great care of her and kept me updated.”
“Star had a great time with Jorge! We got regular updates and pics from her walks. Jorge was great ensuring all elements of Star’s care was attended to. We would highly recommend Jorge and happily have him look after Star again.”
“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!”

About: I grew up in Texas and we always had pets in our house. I would mind dogs for the families on our road and I loved it! Neighbours would describe me as honest, trustworthy, responsible, respectful and fun! I still mind pets occasionally for my friends but I miss doing it and would love the opportunity to mind your pet for you. I'm off work on Mondays and I work from home on Tuesday and Friday. I have a lot of flexibility with my job so there's no problem bringing fur babies for a walk or run if you prefer! Depending on my schedule, I'm open to boarding at the weekends. I am happy to have your pet indoors with me and my 5 year old son. My son is good with animals. I can crate train or I have a big, fenced back garden for your pet to run around in!
About: my girlfriend and I love animals and have grown up caring for dogs! We have our own 6 year old poodle mix who is friendly with other dogs and people. My girlfriend works from home so she’s able to supervise your pet, take them out, and have frequent play breaks! Our dog is part of our family and we’d love to help take care of yours too. My girlfriend works from home so she can supervise your pet during the day! We would plan around them on weekends and bring them out with us if we go somewhere if that is okay with you! We live in a neighbourhood with a park and walking trail, so your dog would have plenty of options to walk around and enjoy the outdoors!
About: Hello families, nice to meet you! I'm Esther, I'm 24 years old and I'm here in Ireland on a stamp 4 visa. I'm a childminder, content creator and I'm looking for an extra petsitter position. I've always liked animals, in 2019 I took a course to become a veterinary assistant, I didn't work in the area because then the pandemic came. However, I always had a dog the entire time I lived in Brazil, I have two girls “Dora” and “Duda” who live with my family in Brazil. I am very affectionate, attentive and I really want to learn more and more. I live in Lucan in a good apartment with my husband, so I am able to receive your pet at my house. My apartment has a good space and area to walk around the building too. I offer affection, attention, walks, I can teach commands that I learned to do to practice with my dogs in Brazil as this uses more energy than the walks themselves. Feel free to contact me, I'll be happy to help you. Thank you so much!! I work from home (by my own) so I have plenty of time to play, go out and etc. I stay alone all day so your pet will be a company for me too. Occasionally I care child’s in my house but I have security gate. I like to ask about dogs owner expectations and follow it, adding my knowledge too and always respecting your pet conditions. I have references from families and a verified profile on “Pawshake” pet sitter app.

About: Hello! We are Bruno and Emily, a couple living in Dublin with a genuine love for dogs. We have both grown up around dogs and understand how much they mean to their families. We enjoy spending time with them, whether it’s going for walks, playing, or simply giving them the attention and affection they deserve. We are responsible, patient and caring, and we treat every dog as if they were our own. Our goal is to provide a safe, loving and stress-free environment where your dog feels comfortable, happy and well looked after while you’re away. We both work full-time during weekdays, but we make sure every dog in our care has a safe, comfortable and relaxing place to stay in our spacious apartment. Before and after work, we dedicate quality time to walks, playtime, exercise and plenty of affection. Evenings and weekends allow us to spend even more time with your dog. We always do our best to follow your pet’s routine and ensure they feel happy, comfortable and well cared for throughout their stay. Your dog’s safety, comfort and happiness are our top priorities. We provide a clean, spacious and welcoming home where every dog is treated like part of our family. We carefully follow feeding schedules, walking routines, medication instructions (if required) and any special requests you may have. We also understand how important it is to leave your dog with someone you can trust while you’re travelling or away from home. Our goal is to give you complete peace of mind, knowing your pet is in a safe, loving and reliable environment until you’re reunited.
About: I've always owned dogs, cats, and small rodents back home in Wexford. No pets live with my in my flat now, but I am very active in the care of my family pets still (daily walks, feeding, and taking to vet appointments when I visit). and I still dog walk and pet sit for family and friends. I have attended dog obedience classes with previous dogs and worked on training with several dogs I have minded. Ask me about Pet photography! I am also an experienced photographer and can discuss a photo package for you and your pet. My schedule is currently very flexible alongside part-time training, meaning I can dedicate plenty of time and individual attention to your pet throughout the day. I’m active, fit, and focused on keeping dogs happy and well-exercised. I am primarily offering dog walking, drop in visits, and house sitting. Dog boarding is on a case by case basis as I have a housemate i need to check with. Due to our apartment we can only take small, calm and quite dogs. A typical daily routine with me includes: Early Morning: A trip to the nearby dog park for a bathroom break and 20 minutes of morning play. Late Morning (11:00 AM): A 30–45 minute walk through the War Memorial Gardens after breakfast. Mid-Afternoon (3:00 PM): A quick bathroom break and play session. Evening (6:30 PM): A longer, main walk around Phoenix Park. I'm also a regular runner, so if your dog is high-energy and enjoys a faster pace, I’m more than happy to take them along for a jog! For a daily walk I can offer 30+ minute walks at a schedule that works for you, morning noon, or evening. I am in range to take your dogs to their favourite spots at grounds of IMMA, War Memorial Gardens, or Phoenix park. Safety is my top priority. I live in a 5th-floor apartment with a fully secure balcony featuring solid glass railings with no gaps. We have a dedicated pet relief area just a 3-minute walk from my door, and we’re right across the road from both the Irish War Memorial Gardens and Phoenix Park for endless green space. In your Home: Available for home visits and sitting for owners within a 15-minute cycle radius. House Care: I’m naturally very clean, attentive to detail, and quick to catch any mess, aiming to leave your home as immaculate as I found it. Extras: As a keen plant enthusiast, I’m also more than happy to keep your houseplants watered and thriving while you’re away!
“We’re so grateful to Ci and his lovely family for taking such great care of Maggie. They were an absolute pleasure to deal with, and it was clear from the daily photo updates that Maggie was happy, relaxed, and in safe hands. Ci was also super flexible with drop-off and pick-up times, which made everything even easier for us. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Ci to anyone looking for someone kind and reliable to look after their dog while away!”
“Ana and her partner were a blessing. The first time we have ever left our dog with anyone we didn't know we were nervous. Ana was amazing and so lovely. She kept me upto date all the time and sent regular pics so kids knew our doggy was safe and having fun. I didn't think he would want to come home. Would recommend highly and will be using again and again. Thank you Ana so much.. Bear misses you already”

A huge thank you to Jennifer for taking such great care of our Teddy! 🐾 We left our beloved toy poodle Teddy for a week, and I was really nervous because he is a true member of our family. But all my worries disappeared from the very first day! Jennifer regularly sent photos and videos, updating us on how they were spending their time. Teddy was surrounded by love, care, and playtime, and he felt completely comfortable. It was clear that he was treated like one of their own pets. I am endlessly grateful for such a professional, caring, and heartfelt approach. We will definitely trust you with Teddy again! I recommend you with all my heart! 🤍✨
Samantha looked after my French Bulldog, Nash, and I couldn't have asked for a better dogsitter. He was caring, reliable, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. I received regular updates, photos and videos, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. Nash was happy, well cared for, and settled when I came back, which says everything. I highly recommend Sam to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to care for their dog. Thank you again for taking such great care of Nash!

Highly recommend Sonya! Our puppy, Cody, had a fantastic week with Sonya - he went to the dog park, lots of walks, a few puppy play dates! Sonya clearly loves dogs and took great care of Cody. We were sent daily photos and updates, and it was clear that Cody had a great time. We are already planning Cody’s next stay with Sonya :)
I really don't know what type of review.I could leave for kai. From the moment I confirmed my booking She made me feel so safe with leaving my 2 dogs with her. During my dogs stay, I received multiple updates daily and my two dogs seemed so happy to be staying with her. I have one dog who is 15 and he is a tough dog to care for and kai just made me feel so relieved to leave my pet with her and she continued to provide updates throughout the 3 day stay. I really cannot recommend kai enough. I will definitely use her going forward for minding my two dogs. 10 out of 10! I will 100% use Kai going forward. She is the best I could hope for for my two babies.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Lucan 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 Dublin 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.
