About: I grew up surrounded by dogs in my family. Since I moved abroad 5 years ago was not able yet to have a dog here in Ireland due also to no full time availability as I work on site 5 days a week and don’t want to leave a dog alone all day. Free mostly evenings or weekends. Free to give some love and help to give some walks. Might be flexible into other days/request upon review I want the dog to feel safe and happy. Dogs see souls like humans being can’t. Dogs are honestly the real humans best friend.

About: I absolutely adore dogs and love nothing more in life than spending time making their lives as pampered as possible. I have experience with all ages, temperaments and also can cater for medical and behavioural needs. I have a certificate in Dog heath: dog breeds and basic anatomy. I'm currently working part time as a teacher so will have plenty of time to pamper your pooches. I'm available weekends from early morning and some days from 2pm until late. I have a walled garden and two friendly labradors who will love to keep your pet company if wanted. There is no area off limits in my home so your dog can have their pick of where they want to rest and play.

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: I'm Irish, 34 + a lover of animals. It's this love for animals which had me spend a lot of time on farms in recent years has had me pet sit a lot. I also like to have the quiet of a place to myself and to be in new environments. So, I have become very experienced with pet sitting + have a strong track record with 39 out of 40 5-star reviews on Trusted House Sitters. I take seriously the responsibility of looking after people's animals, as well as their home. My healthy + steady lifestyle is one that is well suited to pet sitting, with the animals experiencing the benefits of that. The daily routines (waking early, dog walks etc) then fit in well for me. It has been interesting to meet many different characters + breeds along the way + it definitely has a heart opening effect. I am self-employed + study a bit online, fitting everything in with the requirements of the pet sits I do. ( I am also available for paid garden work/yard work/odd jobs/admin, so feel free to enquire). Because I like to live in a clean and tidy space, you can expect your home to be returned to you like that. I don't drink alcohol or smoke so that wouldn't be in the picture. Ready to do a good job. Currently I am available daily and have a flexible schedule to work with, meaning that there is nothing that would clash with the pet sitting. I maintain the routine that the dogs and/or cats are familiar with, while providing a calm environment for the pets in the comfort of their own home.

About: I've been taking care of pets since I was 15 when I adopted my first dog. Since then, I've looked after my own pets and the pets of my family and friends when they're traveling. Here in Dublin I clean a house with two cats, and they are lovely. I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pets and provide what they need. I'm available weekly mornings and evenings, I'm available some afternoons, on weekends I can in the early morning. I always follow the guidelines given by the pet owners, as each animal has its own particular needs. I am a patient and loving pet sitter committed to providing the highest level of care, comfort, and safety.
About: Hi! I’m a dog-loving mom in my mid-30s living with my young family of four in a peaceful countryside setting. We’re lucky to have five acres of land, including two and a half acres that are fully fenced—perfect for safe, supervised play and exploring. We’re also just a short distance from the beach (less than 2km away), where I walk daily with our dog. Your dog will enjoy plenty of fresh air, exercise, and stimulation as part of our routine. We have a friendly, young Golden Retriever Rough Collie cross who is playful, gentle, and gets along really well with other dogs. Our home is very much a dog-loving environment, and any visiting dog will be treated like part of the family. I also have several years of experience volunteering with assistance dogs, where I trained three puppies who went on to support families. This has given me a strong understanding of dog behaviour, training, and care. Your dog will be in safe, caring, and experienced hands with us. Both myself and my husband, Ciaran, work from home so someone will always be around to care for your pet. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I’ll make sure they feel happy, comfortable, and well looked after. Our home has a consistent and flexible routine, with plenty of company throughout the week. I work from home three days a week, and my husband works from home on the other two, so there is always someone around to supervise, care for, and spend time with the dogs. We’re very active day-to-day. I take our dog out for one to two walks daily, often including trips to the nearby beach, as well as time exploring our private land. At home, dogs have access to over two and a half acres of fully fenced garden and an attached field, giving them lots of safe space to run, play, and relax. Between walks, outdoor time, and being part of family life indoors, dogs staying with us enjoy a balanced routine of exercise, stimulation, and rest. Dogs staying with us are welcomed as one of our own, sharing our home and daily life. They can relax indoors with the family or enjoy plenty of time outside playing and exploring at their own pace.

About: I've been taking care of my own dog for 12 years now, and am absolutely dog-obsessed! I can do walks, drop in visits, or overnight care! As an actor, I often have long work droughts, which is why I've decided to sign up! As an actor, my days are often quite empty when I'm not working. This gives me ample time to focus on other things, like looking after your dog/cat! I am free most afternoons and evenings! I am totally happy to follow whatever house rules you have for your pet, no questions asked. Things like crate time, amount of treats, and preferred food items will be strictly adhered to!
About: I volunteer with the DSPCA walking the dogs on site I have multiple family members and friends that I help out from time to time for dog walking I’m a nurse so caring is in my nature! I am working full time with different shift times that give me good flexibility. I’m available any weekends and bank holidays and weekday early mornings/late evenings. I have a fenced and walled garden with a long secured passageway There’s loads of space in my area to play with the dogs and freedom for them to run wild
About: Hi my name is Karla Morillo and I am psychology student living in Dublin. I am half Irish and half Spanish but have lived in Dublin all my life. I consider myself an organised and hard working person. I have had a love for animals since I was a child constantly asking my parents for pets! I have a beautiful Cavachon called Coco and a lovely Lop-eared rabbit called Ollie who are like my children. I am happy to administer medication as my dog Coco has Addison's disease and I am used to dealing with medications. I have many years of experience taking care of animals such as cats, dogs and rabbits. I love going on long walks to the beach and to the park. Your beloved pet will be in great hands and receive plenty of cuddles and love! I will provide daily pictures and videos of your pet. Thank you for taking the time to read this and if you have any questions or queries please don't hesitate to reach out 😁 As I am nearly finished college my classes have become very limited. I have about 2 days a week of college which gives me more time to work and take care of pets! I am very caution when taking care of pets and treat them as my own. I know how much care pets need and will make sure they get the care they deserve.

About: Have taken care of pets for many years mainly cats, hamsters and guinea pigs with from time to time minding dogs such as red setters, beagles and smaller dogs. Besides the "regular" kind of animals I have also minded fishes and I have a deep interest in sugar gliders and other exotic pets I'm a masters student, so I have plenty of time to mind, check-up or walk the pets. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate most requests. The pets safety and well-being are my top priorities. If there are any medications or strict guidelines to follow be assured that I don't mind take extra time or steps to ensure the comfort and peace of mind of both owners and pets alike. There is a very big park/walking route that can be adapted to suit all levels of energy your pet may have. Generally I wouldn't not take cats and dogs at the same time, unless they were siblings and were coming together. I wouldn't take more than 3 dogs at a time. As for cats I can accommodate maximum 4 cats depending on their personalities and willingness to be around other cats. In regards to exotic pets, it would depend and the type of pet.
About: When your dog stays with us, they're getting two dedicated carers rather than one. My sister Bridget and I live together and are lifelong dog lovers with over 15 years' experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. We have experience with puppies, senior dogs and dogs with medical needs, and we're comfortable administering medication when required. We share our home with our own dog, Louie, and understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with a beloved family member. Because there are two of us involved in your dog's care, they'll benefit from plenty of company, attention, and supervision throughout their stay. We know how much trust it takes to leave your dog with someone else, so we'll care for them as if they were one of our own: keeping them safe, happy, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Pet care is a natural part of our daily routine. My sister Bridget and I live together and both help care for the dogs staying with us, with flexible work schedules, there is almost always one of us home during the day. Your dog's safety and comfort are always our top priorities. We live in a quiet area with easy access outside and are fortunate to have several great parks and walking routes nearby. We never let dogs off lead unless we've discussed it with the owner and are completely confident in their recall. We're happy to follow your dog's existing routine and accommodate any preferences, quirks, dietary requirements, or medical needs to help them feel comfortable and secure while you're away.
About: I’ve had pets all my life, and that has taught me to treat them as my best friends. I've worked as a pet sitter in Brazil and I’ve been working with, in Dublin for 2 years. I speak English fluently and I've got all the skills to make sure pet owners have a smooth and easy-going experience. I think the most important thing for a good pet sitter is to love animals and understand their individual needs. They need our care and attention, and should be treated as our best friends. Over the last 2 years working as a pet sitter in Dublin, most of the animals I looked after were cats. I get on very well with them and know how to respect each one’s temperament and personality; I believe this is important when it comes to cats. I'm pretty flexible, so we can figure out the best timetable and payment methods that work for you. I’m sure I can be your next permanent pet sitter, making your life as a tutor easier. Roberta I’m pretty flexible, so I prefer to talk about time and everything in advance, to make sure the tutors have a smooth, easygoing experience. I always heard the tutors instructions carefully and adapt all to the needs of each pet. I reckon that each pet has very specific needs, so it’s more important to me to heard the tutor so I can adapt myself to provide an easy and trustworthy experience.

About: I’ve always had dogs in my life. I had a Jack russel terrier when I was 3 till he was about 14 and I was always walking , feeding him up until his last years. We adopted a Labrador retriever nearly 3 years ago this month who me and my family love and adore! So I’m not afraid of big lively dogs whatsoever! We also recently adopted my granny who passed away a couple months ago. We knew it wouldn’t be right for them to go to a home or shelter as they are both over the ages of ten! So we adopted them into our home. A cute little Shih tzu and a terrier! Not only have I grown up with dogs in my immediate family I have been taking care of my family dogs too. Every summer I used to head up to limerick and walk my granny’s and cousins dogs while they were at work everyday. I’ve taken care of neighbours dogs and walked them too. I have such love and passion for any type or size of dog!! I’m currently studying criminology in college but I am finished up next week! I work a couple shifts in the theatre bar in the arts centre in drogheda and pick up shifts in sonairte when I can! So my schedule is quite flexible during the week and on weekends! I have a fenced back garden with enough space for your dogs to run around! If your dog doesn’t get along great with other dogs I can easily crate or put your dog in a separate room to mine. I will always accommodate to your dogs needs!

About: Hi! I’m Jessica, a veterinary graduate from Brazil with a big heart for animals and a lifelong passion for caring for them. Since childhood, I’ve always been surrounded by pets — dogs, cats, and even farm animals — and that love only grew stronger, leading me to study veterinary medicine. With my background and hands-on experience as a pet parent, I offer trustworthy, affectionate, and knowledgeable care for your beloved companions. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or simply providing company and cuddles, I make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away. I believe every animal deserves personalized attention, so I take the time to understand their routine, personality, and special needs. My goal is to give your pet the same love and care I’d want for my own. For cats, I have everything to make them feel at home — including a litter box and a scratching post, so they can settle in comfortably and feel relaxed from day one. Let’s chat beforehand to make sure your friend gets exactly what they deserve! I provide dedicated pet care every day that I have guests. Each day, I focus on feeding, exercising, and interacting with pets, ensuring they receive both physical activity and mental stimulation. I pay close attention to their individual needs, whether it’s a dog that enjoys walks, a cat that prefers quiet play, or any other pet with special routines. Throughout their stay, I monitor their health, behavior, and well-being, keeping a consistent schedule so every pet feels safe, happy, and loved. I prioritize safety, trust, and a comfortable environment for every pet in my care. In my home or at a pet owner's home, I make sure the space is secure and pet-friendly, with no hazards and everything they need to feel comfortable and relaxed. I follow each pet’s routine, dietary needs, and preferences closely, and I supervise them during playtime, walks, or any activity to ensure their well-being. Building trust with both pets and their owners is very important to me. I maintain open communication, providing updates, photos, or messages as needed, so owners feel confident that their pets are happy, safe, and well-cared-for at all times.
Pet owners share their Rover experiences - Rush
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.

Isabella was lovely with Verso, communication was on point and timely. I had the doggy camera on and I could see them dance, play and having a great time, super happy to see instructions were followed. I also found the house cleaned after a few oopsies. Thank you so much Isabella.

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