“Susana took wonderful care of our kitties while we were away. She took daily photos and gave regular updates on how they were doing, and was kind, communicative, and very professional the whole time. We are glad we found her and are excited to be able to work with her again!!”
“Ashley was such a wonderful help watching our four kitties! She kept us in the loop, made sure they were all taken care of, and gave them lots of love and attention. I’m definitely planning to have her come back to watch the kitties again! Plus, I really appreciated her bringing the package to our porch.”
“Michelle is very communicative, which helps me a lot with my anxiety about leaving home for days. She took care of my cats with their medication and helped me keep their comfort zone clean and shiny. My pets seemed to be having fun with Michelle the whole time she visited. I'd recommend her service!”
“Sammy is always a stellar cat sitter. She makes sure my cats have love, playtime, and food anytime I’m away. Sammy is nothing but kind, responsive, and takes great pride in coming over to check on my “kids” when I’m away. Thank you Sammy!”
“Miss Tiffany immediately bonded with our fussy old cat, Leo. She understood what he wanted and delivered copious pets, snuggles and treats for 12 days. The photos were a testament to his happiness. We couldn’t be happier with her service and most definitely will request her again should the need arise.”
“Annemarie was wonderful. She went above and beyond for us. She dealt with an unanticipated invasion of tiny ants as well as caring for our reclusive kitty. I highly recommend her!”
“10/10 I will definitely be reaching out to rebook in the future! I had Madelyn drop in to check on my dogs during the day, and right from our meet and greet I knew they would be in great hands:) She is very professional and great with communication. She sent photos of the dogs during her visit which made me feel at ease knowing my dogs were being well cared for while I was away!”
About: For as long as I can remember, I've lived in a household with pets! As a kid, my family had a little shih tzu and then later on we had a huge pit bull mix (we also almost always had at least 3 cats running around, adding to the craziness). I've always loved getting to spend time with animals because of their vastly different personalities, from the lazy pug I currently have to the crazy cats I take care of for friends! I'd love to get the opportunity to spend time with your pet too, whether it's taking them on long walks or just playing with them around the house! I'm currently a full-time employee with lots of flexibility in my hours. I'm available most days from noon until 10pm! Some days may have slight differences in hours based on if I have any work meetings, but I'm always transparent with my availability! I live in a gated apartment complex currently with a large dog park. Because of my current home, I only offer drop-in visits and walks. Because of this, I'd be visiting your home. I believe in treating everyone's home with absolute respect so I'll make sure to follow all rules you set for your space as well as ensure your pets are safe and happy at the end of my visits!
About: While I've grown up with dogs and cats, I also have professional pet sitting experience taking care of dogs with diabetes, blind cats, guinea pigs, and even a llama! Pets and their caretakers have trusted me so much, they have flown me to their new homes after moving out of state for further petsitting assignments. I give emotional connection and comfort to pets while they're missing their humans, even reading aloud to them, because I believe it is an integral part of the job. Currently, this is my primary work, so I will have time to spare to take care of your animals. I volunteer regularly at animal sanctuaries and other orgs to improve the lives of animals. I have typically been asked to spend the night with the pets in the client's home, and spend as much time with them as possible, but I can also make daily visits instead if necessary. If you prefer I make visits, keep in mind the distance it would take for me to get to your place, and consider allowing me to make fewer, longer visits instead of multiple brief ones throughout the day.
“Keith was very communicative (even when I wasn’t able to get back to him) and took great care of my cats while I was out of town! Would recommend him to anyone looking for a cat sitter.”
“Brooklyn did a great job taking care of my kitty when I had to go out of town on short notice. She was wonderful to work with, her attention to detail and communication skills are top notch. My shy cat quickly warmed up to her after a few visits. This shows that Brooklyn is great with animals, as my pet is very selective about who she trusts. I look forward to booking with Brooklyn again and I would highly recommend her to others looking for a pet sitter.”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats since I was a kid. What started as a small childhood side hustle of going out of my way to care for other people's dogs has grown into a lifelong passion. I raised my own dog until he was 16, giving me deep, adaptable experience in senior pet care. I also volunteered at the Humane Society, working with animals of all sizes and breeds, especially the misunderstood ones! Whether we're going on a fast-paced walk, hanging out with a lazy Pug, or just cleaning the litterbox and chilling with your cat, I'm ready to treat your pets like my own. As a remote worker, my daily schedule is generally very flexible! I am open throughout the day, but I prefer to schedule most of my walks and drop-ins for anytime after 11 AM or 12 PM. Since I am also a student, my exact availability might shift a bit depending on my course load for the semester, but I will always keep my calendar updated and communicate clearly with you. Because I currently live in an apartment, I exclusively offer walks and drop-in visits at your home. Honestly, I believe that keeping pets in their familiar environment is the easiest and least stressful option for them. When visiting your home, I will be completely respectful of your space, ensure all doors or gates are securely closed, and keep your pets safe and happy in the environment they already know best.
“Amazing pet sitter! Very attentive to details and communicating! She made sure that Bravo was well fed and taken care of! Would highly recommend to anyone needing their pets taken care of”
“Jessica was awesome! She was extremely conscientious toward our cat and our home. We will definitely use her again. It was so stress relieving to know she was there sending pictures and that all was going well.”
About: I've had cats and dogs my whole life, have been feeding stray cats in my neighborhood for years, and I've been pet-sitting for the past 6 years! I've watched all kinds of animals, including big and small dogs, friendly and scaredy-cats, a dog who wore diapers, and a blind dog. My animal care experience also includes chickens, goats, cows, and bearded dragons! I've never been one to shy away from any animal, no matter what its needs are. I'm currently on summer break from college, so I'm free all day to watch your pets! Call on me early in the morning, late at night, or anytime in between, and I'll be available. I am dedicated to understanding each pet's particular needs so I can provide quality care and companionship for them. I'm also committed to keeping your home clean, and I'm not scared of cleaning up any messes your animals may make. I'm easy to reach by phone, so you don't need to worry about contacting me for any reason.
“Courtney did a fantastic job taking care of our cat! She went above and beyond what is expected from a sitter, and we felt confident that our baby was in good hands. Thank you Courtney!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Ireland
Michelle did a great job watching over my senior cat and home on my extended trip. Almost everyday she had interactions with my very shy cat who is sometimes hard to find when I’m away. She also went above and beyond by noticing it was trash day in my neighborhood and putting my garbage cans out. I would highly recommend her.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 3,306 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Ireland. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Ireland. On Rover:
- 97% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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 cutoff 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 kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
