About: I am a pet lover and always had pets in my house since I was a child so I understand how much they mean to their owners. I will treat your pets as they are my own. I know that every pet has their own personality and need and will follow any special instructions to make sure they are felling safe, comfortable and relaxed while your're away. I offer walks, playtime and plenty of companionship suited to your pets and energy levels. It is important that dog staying with us is comfortable and friendly with children (9 year old). We also have a playful dog who loves company of other dogs, so your dog must be comfortable around other dogs. I will keep you updated so you have a peace of mind knowing your pet is happy. Between my husband and me, we can offer 24/7 care, meaning your pet will have plenty of company, attention and supervision throughout the day and night. We work together to make sure our furry guests are never short of love, cuddles, playtime or care Our dog friendly home also has a fully enclosed garden, giving dogs a safe and secure space to enjoy some fresh air, play and explore.
“The best decision we ever made was getting Airis to look after rubble, from start to finish she was fantastic with him she is just amazing with dogs.. this was the first time we left our little pup with anyone and I will definitely be getting airis to look after him again”
“Doireann was absolutely amazing! I had to be away for three weeks and this was the first time I’ve left Biggie with anyone besides family. She took care of him as if he were her own! Thanks, Doireann!!”
“Melanie and Maxime were wonderful dogsitters for Huck! Their pup Mozart was a perfect best friend for him while we were away. Melanie was great; she let Huck meet Mozart beforehand to be sure they got along. She also let us stop by to make sure Huck was comfortable in their home. They sent photos and updates every day and took Huck for lots of long walks! While we wished we were with Huck over the holidays, we couldn’t think of a better place for him to stay while we were away. Can’t recommend a stay with Melanie, Maxime, and Mozart enough!”

About: Hello! As a veterinary nurse i would love to mind your cats while you're away! It can be so stressful for a cat to be in a carrier, transported to an unfamiliar location and then be in an unfamiliar environment while you're away. The beauty of this service is they get to stay at home in the comfort of what they know with very little stress. I worked for Noel Fitzpatrick (The supervet) for 4 years in the UK and it was an amazing experience. I learnt so much and got to experience nursing at the highest level. And that care, love and attention is what I'll be bringing to this service! I'm happy to drive so please reach out to check if I can cat sit for you, even if the app shows I am outside your area :)
“My two French bulldogs had a great stay with Bridget and came home very happy .Bridget kept us updated and sent some lovely photos of what they were up to while we were away. We had already rebooked with Bridget for our next trip away.”
“Ella was absolutely fab Bailey was made up playing with her dogs all weekend! I think she wanted to stay so she could keep playing! Kept me up to date and sent lots of cute videos too 10/10 💕☺️”

Available from 3pm on weekdays. Live in an apartment so plenty of walks for dogs staying with me. Access to plenty of green space in my estate for toilet and sniffs throughout the day. Happy to cosy up with dogs and cats in the evenings on the couch. Dogs who are comfortable in the car/meeting people can come with me to coffee shops and friends houses. Can come and meet friends dogs with owners’ permission. Please provide food. No garden, only green space in the estate, so dogs will be kept on the lead in my estate at all times.

About: Experienced pet minder and carer. I had a very nervous and anxious bichon frise for most of my life who I loved so so much. I recently fostered and cared for a kitten from 3 weeks old, I bottle fed her milk and assisted her in potty breaks. I have looked after many of my friends and family's dogs and cats, of all breeds, ages and personalities. This is how I found a love for caring for animals. I can't wait to look after your furry friends, and fully cater to all of their needs - exercise, dietary needs, medications, 24 hour attention, play and cuddles. I will be available full time from Monday 28th of September to care for your furry friends, 7 days a week, day and/or night care. I have a fully secure garden with plenty of space to play and run. I am flexible to any preferred sleeping arrangement, whether it be with my company, or in their own comfortable and private space. Our cosy furniture is as much for pets as it is for us! They will feel at home in our quiet and safe surroundings, with a big open pitch only 5 minutes walk away.

About: **Female dog boarding only at present** I have looked after my own animals and family/friend's too, for over 25 years. I have been around horses, cats, dogs (and more!) from a young age. I currently have one dog at home and I know how important it is to know your furry friend is looked after while you're away/working. My dog Cú loves the company of other dogs and I have some regular lodgers who are his good friends 🥰 I can accommodate for crates, dog beds etc and I am more than happy to give cuddles and treats and accommodate any dietary needs. I work from home most days so I will be with your pet all of the time. My own dog takes up his post in his beside in my office beside me and there is always space for more puppers there 😊 I have a fenced garden and plenty of nice spots for lead walks close to home. I live the in countryside and have an open field for running about if needed too. I never leave my own dog unsupervised with others, for his own safety and that of others. He is lovely and friendly but I always err on the side of caution working with all animals! 🙏
About: I currently have two cats that I care for every day, including feeding them, cleaning their litter trays, grooming them, playing with them, and making sure they are happy, comfortable, and healthy. I also had two small dogs for many years, which gave me experience caring for dogs and understanding their needs. I am comfortable handling and caring for dogs of different sizes. I have also spent time looking after ponies that were borrowed from a local farmer and kept on our land. My role involved providing them with fresh water, checking on them, and keeping them company while they were in our care. I really enjoy being around animals and take pride in making sure they feel safe, cared for, and well looked after. I work fully remotely, giving your pet plenty of attention. I'm available before work, at lunch, after work, and weekends for walks, playtime, feeding, and cuddles. Your pet's safety comes first. I have a spacious, secure home with separate areas for pets, barred windows, secure doors, and can provide essentials if needed.
“Absolutely wonderful experience, I couldn’t have asked for better care for Rex! Emma was absolutely amazing from the very first message. She was friendly, clear, responsive and incredibly flexible, which made everything so easy and stress-free for me. Rex had the most wonderful stay. He was taken out for walks four times a day, had a beautiful home and lovely surroundings to enjoy, and most importantly, he was treated with so much care, love and attention. It genuinely warmed my heart to know that he was so happy and comfortable there. Rex absolutely loved Emma from the start, and it was clear that he was not simply being looked after, he was truly welcomed as part of the family. The children loved him too, and seeing them say goodbye to him was honestly one of the sweetest parts of the whole experience. ❤️ Emma was also incredibly understanding when my journey back took longer than expected and was extremely kind and flexible about the pick-up time. I really appreciated this more than I can say. I booked Rex with Emma because I needed to know that he was safe and well cared for while I was away, but she honestly exceeded my highest expectations. I came back with complete peace of mind, knowing that Rex had had his own little holiday. I would wholeheartedly recommend Emma to anyone looking for someone who will treat their dog with genuine love, kindness and care. We would absolutely book with her again. Thank you so much, Emma, for giving Rex such a wonderful time. ❤️🐾”
“Luis had a great time staying with Paula. It was lovely knowing he was safe and well cared for. I would definitely recommend Paula and will hopefully get her to mind Luis again.”

If you're looking for a caring a reliable pet sitter then you should come to me. My whole life I've grown up around animals , I spend most days outside in nature with my dog where we do an hour plus walk everyday. I live on a farm so as you can imagine I have plenty outdoor space for your pets to explore. In my home we have the doors open all the time allowing our animals to run in and out as they please. I have many walking areas around my home such as a forest where I walk my own dog. A daily routine for me and my dog would be getting up bright and early to have our morning walk together then we would spend the rest of the day outside together throwing the ball in the fields. I give regular video and photo updates of your pets to ensure that you're able to see that they're safe and happy. I provide a secure , comfortable environment with regular feeding , playtime , walks and plenty of attention so your pet feels settled and cared for as part of the family. I have been minding animals for the past year and have been given 5 star reviews. I get up early in the mornings and walk my dog around the fields in my house. We then spend most of the day outside while she plays with her ball. I live on a farm with a fenced back yard so I have plenty space to accommodate them. The area I live in has plenty of walking areas such as forests.

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 Waterford 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.

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.
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 .
