“Chaima took wonderful care of my cat Kali while we were away, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. She was incredibly caring and attentive, which gave me real peace of mind. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful cat sitter.”

About: Providing flexible and regular dog walking and sitting (dogs from one family only per walk and stay ❤️) in Donabate and surrounding area. New to this app (profile approved as of Aug 14 2026), but have nice reviews in the Donabate Facebook Group. Life long love of dogs. I'm full time at home and my three children are in school so I have plenty of time to provide one one one attention to your dog. I can walk doggies solo between 9am and 1pm or so midweek, and also at flexible times at the weekends. After school midweek the children may be walking with me 🤗. I provide stays in my home in a family environment also. I have a medium sized well fenced back garden with grass. We don't own a pet of our own yet, but am well experienced with dogs, and I grew up in a house with a champion trained dog who did Kennel Club competitions! Your dog will become a part of our family during their stay. Sleeping arrangements depend on what the dog is used to, and they are welcome upstairs in our house. Dogs are also allowed on the couches if that is what they are used to. Our estate is adjacent to an estuary park so there will always be plenty of walks.

About: I’m originally from the Czech Republic, where I’ve been around animals from a very young age. I grew up with dogs and other animals and gained plenty of hands-on experience through my family’s kennel, dog shows, school placements and everyday care. I also completed a secondary school focused on veterinary care, including practical experience at a veterinary clinic. Here in Dublin, I’m continuing my studies in Animal Health Care. I’m happy to care for both dogs and cats of different ages and personalities, including puppies and senior pets who may need a little extra patience and attention. I’m always happy to follow your pet’s usual routine and make sure they feel safe, comfortable and cared for while you’re away. 🐾 I’m a full-time student, so my schedule can vary depending on my classes. I’m happy to arrange pet care around my timetable and adjust my free time when needed. We can always agree on the dates and times that work best for you and your pet, and I’ll always let you know in advance what my availability looks like at the time. I only provide pet care in the pet owner’s home or through walks and drop-in visits, as I’m not currently able to host pets in my own home. I always make sure pets are safe, comfortable and cared for according to their usual routine. I’m happy to follow any instructions you provide and will keep you updated while you’re away.

“Elena took great care of our cats while we were away. She was attentive to their needs, and checking for signs of any health issues. We really appreciated her regular updates and responsiveness. The cats were clearly well looked after, and she was also respectful of our house rules. We’d gladly hire her again and definitely recommend her to others.”

About: I've had dogs and cats my whole life, and my mum is a vet specialising in animal behaviour, so I learned a lot from her. I fully raised my own dog for 8 years, with my mum's guidance, and took him everywhere with me, including trips around Poland and various classes. I've also helped friends train their dogs and teach them tricks. Right now I live with two dogs and help with their care, training, play and exercise. I'm also very comfortable with cats of all ages, including seniors and cats on medication. I work under 30 hours per week, so I have plenty of time for pets. I'm free on weekdays between 9:30 and 12:00 and again after 16:00, and I'm also available on weekends. I'm happy to be flexible and adjust visits to your pet's routine. I always make sure your pet feels safe and relaxed: I watch for signs of stress, discomfort or pain and adjust to their needs. I stick to the owner's routine for feeding, walks and medication, keep the home tidy, and send regular photo updates. If anything seems wrong, I contact the owner and, if needed, the vet right away (I don't own a car, but I have a driving licence, 5 years of driving experience and drive daily for work, so I can safely transport pets).

About: Hey there! My name is Julianne I am 18years old and just done with the leaving cert. I have had a dog since I was 8 years old, my dog is a miniature sausage dog, his name is bruno. Though he’s getting older the energy is not gone from him yet so I am well used to all the mischief pets can get up to. I have always gotten on great with all animals and am well able to take care of their needs. I am currently off on summer holidays so generally available at all hours. Would love to get a consistent routine going with check ins, walking etc I am very caring of pets. Of course I would prefer to be given some instruction as I know everyone is different with their own pet. When it comes to my own dog, Bruno, he doesn’t require a large amount of walking and is generally fed twice a day due to his small size.

About: Hi! I’m Minji, and I’ve been living with my two dogs for over 6 years. I genuinely love spending time with dogs and have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, personalities and energy levels. I have two very different dogs of my own — one is active and loves long walks and adventures, while the other prefers a calmer lifestyle. They are both friendly, well-socialised and used to meeting new dogs while respecting their space, helping create a calm and relaxed environment for visiting dogs. We live in a house with a fully enclosed back garden, and dogs staying with us can freely enjoy the house (except our bedroom) and garden. We’re close to several parks and go for two walks every day. On weekends, with your permission, we can also enjoy longer walks, beach trips or hikes. We only care for one family’s dog(s) at a time, so I can give each dog plenty of individual attention and care. I’ll follow your dog’s usual feeding, walking and medication routines as closely as possible, and send daily photos and activity updates so you know how they’re doing. Meet & Greets are always welcome! I want both you and your dog to feel comfortable before their stay. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, loved and at home while you’re away Our daily routine includes two walks; morning and evening. On weekends, if the weather allows, I usually take the dogs to hiking for 1-2hours, and go to nearby cafe for puppuchino. I live in a house with a fully enclosed garden where dogs can safely relax and play. My two dogs are friendly, calm and well-socialised around other dogs. I only care for one family at a time so your dog receives personalised attention and care.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with experience caring for dogs of all shapes, sizes and personalities. I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life and currently have my own dog, so I understand how important it is to feel that your pet is safe, happy and genuinely cared for. I absolutely love getting out for walks and spending time with dogs, whether that’s going on an adventure, having a cuddle or simply keeping them company. I’m reliable, patient and caring, and I’ll always treat your dog as if they were my own. I’m looking to spend more of my free time doing something I genuinely love, while giving owners peace of mind that their dog is in safe and loving hands. 🐾❤️ I’d be delighted to meet you and your dog beforehand so we can make sure we’re a good fit! I work shifts, so my availability can vary from week to week\. However, I have plenty of availability on my days off and I’m also happy to fit in dog walks around my working shifts when I can\. I’m flexible and will always do my best to work around your schedule\. I love getting out for walks anyway, so combining that with spending time with dogs is something I genuinely enjoy\! 🐶🐾 I have a loving and comfortable home where pets can feel safe, relaxed and part of the family. I’m happy to provide plenty of attention, cuddles, playtime and regular walks throughout their stay. I’ll follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, exercise and any specific needs or preferences they have. I also understand that every dog is different, so I’ll take the time to make sure they feel comfortable and settled in my home. 🐶❤️

About: Hi. My name is Eleanor and I am from Australia and now live in Sutton, Dublin. I have my own car and can cater to surrounding areas. I have a lifetime of experience caring for animals including dogs, cats, birds and horses and have volunteered for years at the Riding for Disabled and Animal Welfare League. My services cater to all domestic pets including horses. Please note that I own a friendly cat who has grown up with dogs and birds and is comfortable with new pets. I offer day sitting and overnight sitting and am happy to provide these services at my house or yours, whatever makes your pet and yourself the most comfortable. Being located in Sutton, I can also travel approx 30mins to the surrounding areas. I'm comfortable administering medications and if your pet has extra medical or dietary needs, I will follow your instructions. Throughout the day/night, I will send photos and videos so you can see how your furry family members are going with me. My priority is to give 24/7 supervision and cuddles for your pets! Equine care is my speciality having owned horses from a young age. I understand first-hand how difficult it can be to organise horse care when you're planning a holiday or need to be away, which is why offering this service is very important to me. About me! - 28yrs old - No kids - My hobbies: horse riding, cake decorating, hiking - I own one cat who is friendly with dogs (he moved with me from Australia) - Live near a park/coastal walk Hope to hear from you. Eleanor I currently do not work and have all the time in the world. I plan to work part time in the future so I can still offer my pet sitting services. I live in a one-bedroom apartment with park access and have a cat of my own. Whether caring for your pet in my home or yours, I'll follow their routine, give them lots of attention and ensure they're safe. I will send you photos throughout their time with me, so you can see how they are getting on!

About: I love dogs. I am Irish and grew up looking after a cocker spaniel for 11 years and looked after my dog Tilly for more than 7 years, plus briefly fostered a labrador and a lurcher previously. I've looked after a neighbour's puggle and maltese dogs many times. I have boarded and walked several dogs of pet owners through this app. We will take your dog out for 2-3 walks per day and even more at the weekend. We have 18 years experience of many different breeds and love playing and giving your doggie lots of attention. For peace of mind, we can share photos on WhatsApp with you while you're away.

“Vincent was brilliant!! My two dogs instantly liked Vincent and felt comfortable with him. Vincent was very friendly and non judgmental, I felt extremely comfortable leaving him to watch my dads dogs and come and go to my dads house while he was away. He kept in touch with photos and updates and cleaned up after feeding the dogs. Would definitely recommend Vincent and will be using his services again in the future.”

About: I've taken care of my 4 dogs, 3 of which are large dogs, and my cat on multiple occasions by myself. I handle animals very well, have dog-sat for friends and family before as well and I really enjoy looking after them! I currently take care of a horse two days a week, and I am unemployed so I have lots of time to look after everyone's animals as well as my own! Sunday mornings are available after 12pm. I am available to walk dogs or cats, or do drop-in visits! My environment can be busy with other dogs often being walked on and off leash but I have plenty of experience with my own St. Bernard and Golden Retriever, both of which I trained to remain calm around other dogs.

About: I have grown up with pets, always having at least one in the house. Then also started taking care as a job and I love it :) I'm currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to do any type of pet care and would gladly love to help any way I can. I don't offer care in my own home, but in owners home I try my best to care for pets as if I'm the owner, I think it's important to also care.

About: I’ve had large dogs since I was a child, while also spending time looking after relatives dogs and cats - I love them both just as much! Having an older dog know with health issues, I have also become accustomed to senior care. I’m a student currently off for the summer so I have very flexible hours! I can do dog walking/during the day visits or overnight stays for when you’re away depending on the need. I will ask for some more detailed information on your pet; health needs, allergies, how they react to other humans and other animals, any specific behaviours they might have, and their daily routine so I can accustom myself as best as possible and not interrupt their daily habits!

Cristine was the perfect cat sitter. I was very impressed with how well she cared for my cat Toffee whilst I was away for five days and would happily book her again.

Lauren was absolutely amazing with our three cats. They have quite a tricky routine, with each cat having different needs, but she picked everything up very quickly despite it being her first time looking after them. She gave each cat the individual attention they needed, asked sensible questions whenever she wanted to clarify something, and kept everything beautifully clean and tidy. Even when Liffey decided to be bold and use the shower as a toilet on a few occasions, Lauren took it completely in her stride! Most importantly, the cats really warmed to her. Milo even wanted Lauren to sit with him while he ate, which says a lot about how safe and comfortable he felt with her. We came home to three happy, well-cared-for cats and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Lauren.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Malahide

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Malahide 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 Malahide 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 Malahide 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.
