About: I have grown up around animals my whole life! I was raised on a farm, so from a very young age I was surrounded by all kinds of animals and naturally became a big animal lover. I have had experience with a variety of animals over the years and have always enjoyed caring for them. I also have my own miniature Dachshund, Ollie, who is a huge part of my life 🐾 I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet with someone you trust, and I would treat your dog with the same care, attention and love that I give my own. I work from home two days a week, so on those days I have more flexibility to care for your pets, take them for walks or pop in for home visits around Maynooth/Leixlip/Celbridge/Kilcock area 🐾 On the days I am in the office, I am available for walks and home visits around Dublin 4, particularly around Nutley Lane and Elm Park. I can usually fit in visits or walks during my lunch break (12–2pm), as well as in the mornings before 8am and evenings after 4pm. I am also available for walks, drop-in visits and pet care around Maynooth/Leixlip/Celbridge/Kilcock at weekends. I am happy to work around your pet’s routine where possible and can discuss specific times when booking The safety and wellbeing of your pet is always my priority. Before a walk, I make sure I understand your dog’s routine, personality and any specific needs or instructions. I will always use the lead and walking equipment you provide and keep your dog safely under control, choosing routes that are suitable for them. For home visits, I will treat your home with the same care and respect I would expect in my own. I will make sure doors, gates and windows are securely closed and that your pet has everything they need before I leave. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I will keep you updated during visits and walks and let you know if I notice anything unusual. My aim is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable and cared for while you are away🐾

About: PhD student at MU. I grew up walking and even hiking with my own dog, and that experience taught me how to read dogs’ personalities, energy levels, and needs. I understand that your pet is part of your family, and I treat every dog with the same care and attention I’d give my own. I’m excited to build trust with both dogs and their owners in the Maynooth community. As a PhD student, I have a flexible schedule. I’m available to walk your dog early in the day or in the afternoon once my research work allows. On weekends (including Fridays), I have even more flexibility and can accommodate longer walks or visits. I take pet safety and care seriously. When caring for your dog in your home, I ensure a clean, secure environment and handle feeding with attention to their needs. If you prefer drop-in visits rather than full-time care, I’m equally reliable and responsive.

About: Hi, I’m Charlotte! Every summer, I house-sit and care for my auntie’s five dogs, and her kitten, as well as minding my own dog This has given me extensive hands-on experience with multi-pet households, varied energy levels, and sensitive personalities. I’m completely comfortable administering oral medications, sticking strictly to feeding routines/ dietry needs (like coeliac pets). I'm very versatile, giving nervous/elderly pets the quiet, patient care they need to feel safe or giving younger dogs the energetic and hands-on attention/play time they need. For exercise, I typically offer tailored 30-to-60-minute walks depending on your dog’s stamina. I also know how important it is to handle alone time carefully; I keep any brief absences to a minimum (if applicable) and always make sure pets are well-exercised, relaxed, and settled before I leave the house. Whether your pet needs active outdoor time, gentle special care, or just warm companionship, I treat every animal like family. I'll always keep you updated with regular photos and notes so you have complete peace of mind while you're away! I’m a student living right in Maynooth, which gives me great flexibility! Since I live locally, I can pop home or do drop-ins between lectures during my longer midday breaks. I have full availability in the mornings and evenings for home visits and dropins. I also drive, making travel to and from your home quick, easy, and reliable. Safety and proper structure are my top priorities. I have extensive experience managing complex household dynamics, including caring for my auntie’s farm pets. This involves safely managing and separating multiple groups of dogs, keeping track of strict individual dietary needs, and comfortably handling multi-pet environments with both dogs and cats. Since I drive, I can easily manage drop-ins and home visits safely and efficiently, ensuring every pet feels secure, properly fed, and well cared for in their own environment.

About: I’ve had various types of animals throughout my life and cared for them in every stage of their life from newborn to senior care and catered to each of their specific individual needs I’m on summer holidays from college and am free whenever is needed to take care of all your different kinds of fur babies and provide them with love, attention and fulfil their needs I have many different enrichment tools for my cats from a high quality diet to toys and scratch posts.

About: I’ve looked after my neighbors pets whenever needed over the past few years. I made sure they were fed, drinking enough water and in the outdoors as much as possible. I am gentle, patient and loving toward pets as I have a cat and a dog of my own. I treat any other pet exactly how I would treat my own.

About: My home is basically a mini zoo, with two lovable troublemakers and a super chill cat. One of my dogs is nearly nine and always gets compliments on how youthful and spritely she is—people constantly mistake her for a one-year-old (short legs included!) because she has so much energy, which I think comes from all the walks I give her. My other dog, a six-year-old lab, is the crazy one who loves burning off energy playing ball in the garden. They’re my babies, and I adore them. Caring for them has taught me how to really understand and adapt to each pet’s unique personality and needs, and I’d love to give that same care to yours. I am currently doing my masters degree which I am yet to receive my timetable for, but should be free all week- mainly afternoon/ evenings! I provide care in the pet owner’s home as my own home is already busy with three animals. This allows your pet to stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I always follow routines closely, ensure pets feel safe and relaxed, and adapt to their individual needs, whether that’s playtime, walks, feeding, or just calm companionship. Any time spent with animals and helping them feel at ease is greatly appreciated always :)

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and other pets since i was 5, we have a young cocker spaniel and a golden retriever. I will provide reliable and attentive care to any pets.

About: I've been caring for animals of all kinds; dogs, cats, guinea pigs, bunnies, parrots and even farm animals since I was a little girl. My love for animals runs deep, and that passion has only grown stronger over the years. One of my proudest accomplishments was training my pit bull all on my own while living in New Jersey. Though she is no longer with us, the bond we shared and everything I learned from that experience continues to guide how I care for animals today. What sets me apart is not just my lifelong experience, but the genuine care and attention I give to every animal as if they were my own. I’m comfortable with training, administering medication (including pills and topicals), and following detailed routines to keep your pet feeling safe and happy. Whether it’s caring for energetic puppies, providing gentle support for senior pets, or just being a reliable presence while you're away, I tailor my care to fit each animal’s unique needs and personality. I’m here to offer peace of mind, knowing your pet is in loving, capable hands. Pet care is my top priority right now. I recently moved to Ireland and am currently not working a traditional job, which gives me the flexibility and availability to fully dedicate my time and energy to caring for pets. This means I can offer consistent attention, follow specific routines, and be there when pets need me most—whether it’s for daily walks, playtime, feeding, or just some loving company. Building trust with both pets and their owners is something I take seriously, and I’m grateful to have the time to do it right. In my home, pets are treated like family. I make sure pets feel comfortable and secure, whether that means sticking to their usual routines, offering cozy spots to relax, or providing crate space if needed. If I'm caring for a pet in their own home, I always aim to maintain their daily habits and comfort levels; whether that’s feeding schedules, walk routines, or just giving them the love and attention they’re used to. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, happy, and well cared for, no matter where they are.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Maynooth 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 Maynooth 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 Maynooth 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.
