“Shakthi walked our puppy Peanut few times already. She is very loving and caring person. She respects all our requests and follows our routines. She gets in touch with us after each walk and let's us know all details we need to know about. She is carrying and calm what's serves our dog perfectly. I'd highly recommend Shakthi for your pet!”

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: I've always been a huge animal lover. While I don't have enough experience as a pet carer, I currently work as an au pair, which has taught me to be responsible, attentive and patient. I truly enjoy spending time outdoors, going for walks and playing, so I would love to keep your dog company on walks or look after them at home. I'm based in Malahide and available on weekends. You can count on me to treat your pet with all the love and care they deserve. I work as an au pair during the week, so I have a clear and consistent schedule. On weekdays, I'm available from 9:00 AM to 12:30 PM and again from 7:00 PM to 10:00 PM. On weekends, I have full availability all day Saturday and Sunday. This allows me to offer regular and reliable care for your pet, whether it's walks, feeding or keeping them company. I always make sure the environment is safe and comfortable for the pet. I check that doors and windows are secure, remove any hazards and keep a close eye on them at all times. I follow the owner's instructions carefully regarding food, routines and any special needs. Having my own cat has taught me to be attentive to their behaviour and to create a calm, stress-free space where they feel at ease.

About: I have looked after many different pets since 2014! Back then, I went around the neighborhood pet sitting and doing daily walks! Now, I am available for many different forms of pet care whether its near or far. I have experience with larger dogs (huskies primarily) small dogs, cats, etc! I am comfortable adjusting to any pets needs and learning exactly the best way to care for them individually. I currently do not work and do only a little bit of school on the side. I recently moved to Dublin so I am still settling in, and have plenty of time to care for your pets and any of their needs. I will give your pet any attention and/or space that they require, especially because I know some pets are very anxious when strangers are in their safe space. Essentially, I will do whatever is needed so they are the most comfortable during their care.

About: I’m very empathetic and can pick up on dogs emotions as I’ve had a dog since I was 10 years old. I’m reliable and committed to understanding pet care. I notice different body language and routines and especially health needs. I’m very patient and attentive and I love animals and would love to do it as a job At the moment I do two days in college which are Thursday 9:30-1:30 and Friday 9:30-11:30am. I work doing events and it varies with hours a lot but I would like to do this job and fit it into my daily routine as it’s something more suited to my personality. I’ve been caring for my dog, a 14 year old parson russel terrier since I was 10 years old. Over the years ive handled everything from daily walks and feeding to understanding their changing needs as they’ve gotten older. I make sure he gets plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, and love while keeping up with health concerns and vet visits. Caring for my dog Teddy who is now senior has taught me how to adapt to different routines and patience. I spend all of my time with my dog when I’m home and treat him like my bestfriend

About: Hi, I’m Isabella! I’m Brazilian, currently living in Ireland, and deeply passionate about animals. Although I’m new to professional dog walking, I grew up on a farm surrounded by animals, including horses, dogs, and other pets. From a young age, I learned the importance of responsibility, patience, and daily care. Feeding, grooming, cleaning, and understanding animal behavior were part of my routine, which helped me develop confidence with both small and large animals.
I understand that each pet has their own personality, energy, and needs. I always respect their space and routine, ensuring calm, safe, and loving care. I’m attentive, responsible, and genuinely enjoy spending time outdoors with animals.
I’m currently starting my English studies and fully committed to improving quickly. I communicate with kindness and dedication, and I take every pet owner’s trust seriously. Your dog will be treated with love, safety, and respect, just like family. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I intentionally organize my schedule around it. I attend English classes in the morning from 9:00 am to 12:15 pm. After that, I am available and flexible, which allows me to dedicate quality time and full attention to the pets in my care. I am available for afternoon and evening walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. I also have weekend availability. Since pet care is a priority for me, I plan my commitments carefully to ensure I am never rushed and can provide calm, attentive, and responsible care. I value consistency and reliability, and I make sure each pet receives the time, exercise, affection, and supervision they need. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy, so it is not just something I fit into my routine — it is something I intentionally make space for. I prefer to start by going to the pet's house. We can walk around and run in some park! If your pet needs it, I can carry it!

About: I'm a part-time writer who's originally from the USA but has lived in Ireland for close to four decades. I grew up in a house full of dogs, from collies to Saint Bernards, and learned to handle various dogs as a paperboy. Today I live in Drumcondra in central Dublin with partner Dawn and 16-year-old son Harry. Our home is missing our beloved Fonzie, our rescue dog of 17 years, who passed away in 2024. I've been thinking about taking up dog walking/boarding ever since, in part because I'm an avid walker (and no longer an avid writer!). On my near-daily walks I'm always talking to fellow hikers with dogs, and it just seems a missed opportunity not to have a dog with me, too. So I'm open to tailoring walks that really suit your dog, even daylong adventures with a picnic somewhere nice in the middle. If your dog would be staying overnight, or longer, it'll be even better, because my partner Dawn is the true dog fanatic in the family. It'll be nonstop cuddles once she's home. One key commitment from me is that your dog will feel at home, in a family environment, and will never be left alone. That includes nighttime, when I'll be sleeping in the living room nearby your dog (who I am betting will get a particularly good night's sleep, despite the unfamiliar environment, given all the exercise!). Because of our experience caring for Fonzie, who had mobility issues in his final years, I've also got a soft spot for looking after older dogs. I certainly won't be pushing your dog to walk more than he or she wants. We'll make sure the activity level/duration is appropriate for age, breed and overall health, following your own instructions closely. I'm a freelance writer, with the freedom to pick (or skip) assignments given that I'm approaching retirement age and frankly more interested in getting out for my own daily walk! If your dog is with me, I won't be getting distracted by work. We'll just walk somewhere nice and meet some other dogs along the way. In my home, your dog will be encouraged to sleep on a dog bed in the living room, but I'm not precious. We do have a comfy and well-worn leather sofa that Fonzie certainly preferred and your dog will be welcome to it, if the dog bed doesn't appeal. I'll stay overnight in the living room with your dog. I'll want to keep my visitor company and ensure there's no wimpering. For any quick potty breaks, we have parkland directly outside our home, so we'll go out at night and first thing in the morning, get some food, and then perhaps head out for a longer walk with snacks in the backpack. If you need me to look after your dog overnight in your own home, I'll simply follow whatever your instructions are. I'm a man of simple tastes, so you won't need to make any special accommodations for me.

About: I have been raised with dogs and cat since I was young. I am comfortable around any dog and approach any dog I see on the street. I have care for pets for my family and friends. When I was younger I used to care for my neighbours dogs while they were on holidays and ensured they were fed and taken care of everyday. This started my interest in pet sitting. I work most weekends so I am able to sit for pets during the week. My shifts change so I am available on random days during the week and some weekend days. I like to get out and out about during my days off and I would love a pet to join me. As an active person I will ensure dogs get their adequate walks and will ensure they are fed at the owners requested time. I leave near a beach and will be happy to take them their for longer walks.

About: I've been around dogs my whole life and absolutely love spending time with them. Growing up with dogs taught me a lot about how to care for them, understand their needs, and give them plenty of love and attention. Over the years, I’ve fostered multiple dogs, each with their own personalities and quirks. It’s been such a rewarding experience helping them settle in, feel safe, and find their forever homes. I’ve also done plenty of pet sitting for friends, family, and others- whether it’s just for a weekend or longer stays. I’m comfortable with all kinds of dogs, from high-energy puppies to older dogs who just want a cuddle and a quiet walk. I always do my best to make sure they feel relaxed, happy, and well cared for while their owners are away. Pet care is an important and well-integrated part of my daily and weekly routine. I plan my day around feeding times, walks, play sessions, and any special care needs. Whether I’m providing in-home visits, dog walking, or overnight stays, I maintain a consistent schedule that aligns with the pet’s usual routine to minimize stress and ensure they feel comfortable and secure. I make sure to communicate clearly with pet owners to understand their pet's habits and preferences, and I build those into my daily plans. I treat every pet as if they were my own, whether I’m caring for them in my home or theirs. I prioritise safety by following all instructions from pet owners, maintaining a clean and pet-friendly environment, and ensuring that pets are always secure- whether that means using leashes, keeping gates closed, or avoiding hazards during walks. I take time to earn each pet’s trust through calm behavior, positive reinforcement, and lots of affection. I also stay observant for any signs of stress or illness and will immediately inform the owner if something seems off. My goal is always to create a safe, nurturing, and familiar environment for the pet.

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Swords on Rover is {{median_grand_total_num.as_currency}} per walk (as of {{date}}). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking 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 Walking.

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.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-to-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Swords. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighbourhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

<b>Tip:</b> Keep in mind that many cities require your dog walker to have a permit or licence for group walks.

For dog walking bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include a map of the walking route, the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poo breaks recorded by the walker.

The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Swords after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.

Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes dedicated customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement programme for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to €25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Every walker 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 walker is the right fit before booking.

For more details, visit our Trust & Safety page.

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.

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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.

Yes, you can find sitters who can respond to your messages in under 5 minutes. To find the fastest available match, message multiple sitters with a recent 'calendar last updated' notice on their profiles.

Walkers 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 walker.
