“Gracija is a super attentive and caring petsitter! She took excellent care of our very anxious cat and found approach to him, so we didn’t need to worry about anything while we were away. Can’t thank Gracija enough and will be happy to reach out again :)”
“This was our first time booking somebody to take care of our cat Pip whilst we were away for a week. We found Karla through the app and she has been brilliant. Karla updated us everyday with pictures and we were so happy knowing he was well looked after. We would definitely book Karla again for future holidays, she gave us great peace of mind.”
“Lina is fantastic. She was able to come to our house while we were away for a weekend and look after our lovely cat Liam. She travelled for a visit each day to feed and mind Liam, and he loved her company. She was also so kind and watered some of our plants. I would strongly recommend Liam for all of your pet sitting needs!”

About: I have two dogs myself, have always loved animals and often taken care of friends/family dogs. I would care for others dogs how I would want mine to be looked after I am a student and have more flexibility time during summer months. My work schedule varies. Best to check in with me and I’ll let you know! I’m very adaptable. However the pet is cared for I would hope to match that. Spent time/ let them out/ bring for walks etc
About: I am an animal lover of dogs and cats with over 25 years of pet ownership. I had my first pet dog as a youngster at 10 years old. A sheepdog. I love Cats and Dogs equally. From my experience with Cats, it is important that they are cared for properly in the absence of their owner when on holiday or away. I offer house visitation for both cats and dogs in Waterford city. I understand the importance of Cat care from having a deaf cat previously. Understanding the signs of Cats when they become stressed is also important in order to spot issues early. Ensuring they are safe, secure and taking notice if they are off their food or fluids. I am very observant of pets and understand clear communication with the owner is important especially when away. House visits and cats staying in situ suit some cats best. From once or twice daily visits I can suit the owners needs and their pets needs to keep them company and entertained. Dogs need care and other aspects depending on the age, breed and temperment to ensure their welfare and happiness when owners are away, therefore I offer walking if required when you are away in addition to house visitation. I love walking my own dogs on the Greenway or in Tramore. But I can work with you to decide where and when exercise is needed. I can also take Cats in my home and on occasion small dogs that are good with other dogs and kids. All pets must be vaccinated, flead and wormed. My aim is to provide safe, responsible and reliable support for owners when they are away or travelling. As a pet owner I know how important this is when out of the country or unavailable. Feel free to reach out to me if you need your furry or feline friends minded or have any questions. Emmet. I work in a an office setting so enjoy spending time outside of work walking with my dogs or spending time with animals or simply been out and about at the seaside As a owner of 2 dogs currently I understand the care they need and the joy they bring to us. Having an experienced pet owner is critical especially when someone is away or on holidays.
About: I’m a passionate animal lover and proud dog owner based in Tramore, Co. Waterford. Friends and family have always trusted me to care for their pets, and I treat every animal like my own. I’m comfortable with dogs and cats of all ages and am happy to provide updates and photos throughout each visit. I work from home on Mondays and Tuesdays, giving me great flexibility for morning, midday and evening visits those days. I’m an early riser so morning walks are no problem! On Wednesdays and Thursdays I’m available mornings and evenings, and on Fridays I’m free from 1pm onwards. Weekends I have good availability too. I offer pet sitting and drop in visits at your home, so your pet gets to stay in their own familiar, comfortable surroundings which I find keeps them much more relaxed and settled. I’m a dog owner myself of two Samoyed’s so I understand how important routine and consistency is. I’ll always send photo updates so you have complete peace of mind while you’re away.
About: I’ve always had a huge love for dogs and have plenty of experience caring for my own and family and friends dogs. My own dog is very much part of the family and even sleeps on my bed, so I’m all about making dogs feel loved, comfortable and at home. I’ll treat your furry friend with the same love, patience and care I give my own! 🐾❤️ I have a flexible schedule and am hoping to build pet sitting and dog walking into a full-time career, allowing me to dedicate my time and attention to the animals in my care. I’m also keen to attend courses and develop my knowledge and skills further so I can provide the best possible care and make every pet feel safe, happy and loved. 🐾 Your pet’s safety, comfort and happiness will always be my priority. I understand how important it is to trust someone with a much-loved family member, and I’ll treat your pet with the same care and affection I give my own. I’ll always respect your home, follow your pet’s usual routines and make sure they feel safe, settled and comfortable in their familiar environment. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos for your peace of mind. 🐾❤️
About: I've had a multitude of pets growing up, I did work in a pet shop and dog groomer as an assistant. I am confident with my abilities with dogs. I have 2 dogs at home, one large and one small, so I am well aquatinted with their needs. Any temperament and needs are completely welcomed and accommodated I have a pretty open and easy going schedule, I am on summer break before I go to college so a pet care job would be perfect as I have lots of free time to care for them. In the next year I am hoping to go and do an animal handling course so I would love to get some more experience in before then. Since I have animals at home myself as well as a large family housing you're pets isn't something I'm currently accommodating, but I am more then open to any other kind of service I can provide.

Pet owners share their Rover experiences - Waterford
Karla is just excellent. She took care of our cats extremely well, made sure one cat got his medication daily and had no problem following complex dietary requirements. Cats were very relaxed upon our arrival. Karla also changed all the litters and this was the first time we came home and did not have to clean everything in the middle of the night after travel! I would recommend Karla to everyone as she is a fantastic cat minder.
Lina is fantastic. She was able to come to our house while we were away for a weekend and look after our lovely cat Liam. She travelled for a visit each day to feed and mind Liam, and he loved her company. She was also so kind and watered some of our plants. I would strongly recommend Liam for all of your pet sitting needs!

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.

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 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 Waterford 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.
