About: I’m a stay at home Mom, I spend a lot of time at home, we have a big house in the country side of Ballincollig, your pet will always have company ;) I grow up with animals, when I was younger I moved to Spain with my two dogs. When I meet my husband and moved to Ireland my dogs came with us. They are like children for us. My beloved Dog died recently, he was with me for 15 years. I cared for him in the last few months of his life, he was a senior dog in need of different care. My other dog is 10 years old now, she will be so happy to host new friends! My Son is 7 y old now and knows to treat animals with kindness and respect. Having a senior dog and a younger one helped him understand how different animals needs can be. I am looking forward to hosting your pet :) I’m a stay at home Mom, I spend most of my day at home. My dog needs a lot of company since her best friend died, so I try to let her alone the bare minimum. I have a big garden with a natural fence, our dog doesn’t go behind the fence she’s been trained to stay always close to us, I have a big dog pen set outside for the safety of ur dog. They can play outside supervised by me, but they will sleep indoors. I have set up a room for the dogs, so they are nice and warm.
“Holly is an amazing dog sitter. I’d give her 6 stars if I could! Her house and fenced yard provide the perfect set up. She is clearly an animal lover, and she’s very sweet and kind. She sent us pictures throughout and always made us feel very assured that everything was going well. I highly recommend Holly.”
“Julie took wonderful care of Matrim while we were away. As he's a senior dog, we were a little nervous about him staying with a younger pup, but Julie handled everything brilliantly and made sure he had plenty of quiet time to rest. She was quick to respond throughout, sent lovely photo updates. Matrim came home happy and well-rested. We couldn't have asked for a better sitter and highly recommend Julie!”
“What a great service! I am delighted with Gudog. Gill was an angel and wonderful with my dog. She went above and beyond to look after him with live and kindness. Receiving regular updates and photographs of him having a great time was reassuring, I can think of nobody better than Gill to look after my boy. Thank you ”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Mallow 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 Cork 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.
