Airis gave Dudley a very warm welcome and made him feel at home right away. Airis shared with us a couple of videos and photos in which D was happily playing with Airis’s friendly dog and a fellow guest! We would certainly recommend Airis and Dudley/we will look forward to our next visit to Co. Waterford!

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!!

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 :)

I left my yorkie Joey with Bridget for the first time in June, as he's an indoor dog who doesn't do very well in kennels. He had a great time and was in really good form when I collected him. He had daily walks, lots of company and was minded very well. Would definitely recommend and will definitely use again. Perfect for small dogs who are used to being inside and lots of attention.

Maleen and family had such a warm welcome for us on meeting them. Harvey was totally chilled out with them and loved exploring their gorgeous garden. Maleen was very thoughtful and sent us a picture of Harvey sitting with them outside. He can’t wait to go back again!!

About: I grew up with cats and dogs. I have experience training dogs and looking after them and have experience with kittens and cats since childhood. I have a calm energy around animals and will always take their lead in my approach. At home and available all week. Live in an apartment so two walks per day- morning and evening, but 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. Off lead in specific places if owners would like/give permission. Cats will be kept inside- please provide litter tray and food.

Count have asked for a nicer person to look after my dog, I was a hit nervous especially since I have an XL bulldog and not a lot of people like them with everything going on but if she would take rocky again she would be my first choice for a dog minder you can tell straight away she genuinely cares for dogs and you just know your dog is going to be looked after.

About: I have experience caring for cats and spent years looking after my own beautiful girl, who sadly passed away from cancer a few months ago. Caring for her taught me patience, compassion, and how to give pets the love and attention they deserve. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own and keep you updated while you’re away. 🐾 I work part-time and am home early most days, so I have plenty of time to give your pet the attention they deserve. My evenings are usually spent relaxing, going for walks, or reading, making it easy to stick to your pet’s usual routine and provide lots of company and care. I have a secure, fenced garden for outdoor time, and pets are welcome on the furniture if that’s what they’re used to at home.

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.

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! 🙏

We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our Bernese Mountain Dog pup! Daria took such wonderful care of her – making sure she was well-fed, walked, and even teaching her new tricks. She regularly sent us updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind, and our pup always looked so happy and relaxed. She went above and beyond in every way: helping our puppy socialize with other dogs, brushing and bathing her before our return, and even clipping her nails when she noticed they were getting long. During the heat, she was so thoughtful and caring – providing a cooling mat and refreshing ice water to keep her comfortable. It was clear from the start that our pup felt completely at home with her, and we are so grateful for the love and attention she provided. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a truly caring, reliable, and attentive dog sitter!

I can’t recommend Sally highly enough. Rosie was so well looked after in a family environment in a beautiful setting. Sally gave regular updates and sent pics of their walks. If truth be told, Rosie had such a good time, I think she was a little down when it came to coming home. She will definitely be back ☺️

FAQs for Boarding - Waterford

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Waterford on Rover is €29.9 per night (as of August 2026). 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. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 18 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Waterford. Enter your Eircode to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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.

Many boarding sitters in Waterford can stay with their dogs most of the day, but it’s common for them to step out for short periods. Since every sitter’s schedule is unique, it’s important to agree on expectations before the stay begins. Adding the number of hours your dog can be alone to their profile will also help you find the right match.

If you are worried about your dog being alone, ask a sitter how they make a dog feel settled in a new environment. This can help your dog feel more comfortable.

If your dog cannot be left alone for more than a few hours, you may want to look for sitters who offer 24/7 care. Sitters who offer constant care are more likely to take on dogs who need frequent attention.

Every pet sitter, walker, and boarding sitter on Rover must pass an identity verification before they can list their services. An identity verification confirms that the sitter is who they say they are based on their documents.

Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to €25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit our Trust & Safety page .

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 calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cut-off time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will apply. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
