“Michelle and her daughter were very good at taking care of Marceline. Great communication and service! Sent lots of great photos of my kitten and spent lots of time interacting with her and playing with her.”
“Sammy did a great job taking care of a very shy cat, including getting Tibs to greet her after only a few days. She also watered both inside and outside plants for us. We will definitely hire her again.”
About: I have had pets my whole life. I'm very comfortable with any size and breed. I have also had and taken care of special needs dogs and cats. I am not currently working so I am available for walks and sitting most days. I am happy to answer any questions you may have. I have lots of time to focus on and give your pets all of the exercise, cuddles, and pets they need! I would love to boop YOUR pet's snoot!
About: I’ve loved and lived with animals of all shapes, sizes, and colors (furry and scaly alike), for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I found a passion and love of caring for others through learning to care for our family pets (cats, dogs, frogs, lizards, fish, hamsters, bunnies, guinea pigs, pot belly pigs, ponies, etc) who were treated largely like members of the family rather than pets. When I was older I became the family, friends, and neighborhood go-to pet sitter because of my array of experience with domestic, exotic, and farm animals from newborn all the way through senior stages of life. My first official job in high school was working for PetsMart in their PetsHotel. As an adult, my family and I have our own furry, scaly, and aquatic family members that we love dearly. I currently work a flexible hybrid schedule so it would be very easy to add drop-in care and activity time to my day to day schedule. Overnight stays could be easily scheduled with advanced notice. It is not lost on me that clients trust me with their fur-kids and their homes. I take that responsibility to heart and will always have open lines of communication and respect. I’m honored to be able to care for your pets and will always treat them like family. I’m big on pictures and sending all sorts of updates as I am providing care while you are away at work or on vacation.
“Cassandra was amazing! She loved on our sweet girl made sure she was all taken care of while I was out of town and even dealt with me forgetting to turn off the alarm multiple times. Will definitely have her back!”
“Nicole was awesome and I could tell Bug really liked her from the many pictures she sent while I was gone. I’ll definitely book with her again in the future. Thanks so much Nicole!”
About: I have been pet sitting around my neighborhood for years and am very trust worthy! I am starting nursing school and would love to make extra money on the side by loving and taking care of animals while studying for my bachelors!! I am currently in nursing school and will be living at home and studying. I can drive wherever to pet sit, walk dogs, or be there to cuddle your fur babies!! I have one dog in my family, 1 year old Rottweiler German Shepard mix!! I have watched both younger dogs, senior pups, and many cats!!
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats my whole life. I have 2 kitties of my own as well! I’ve taken care of energetic Huskies to tiny Yorkies, plus a few other adopted cats along the way. I have experience helping to train puppies and keeping up with the daily responsibilities of both cats and dogs. I also have experience with goats, pigs, chickens and horses! I am currently studying to become a dental assistant, and I’m excited to share my love with your pets too! I have experience with my own independent pet sitting business. I did pet sitting for a couple years around my neighborhood in middle school as well! I currently work part-time 4-5 days a week, while taking 2 night classes a week. Which leaves me with plenty of hours to dedicate to your furry companions. Right now, I usually work mornings, and occasionally in the evening typically between 5-7 hours. So I have lots of availability in most evenings. Please keep this in mind if you are looking for a pet sitter to be fully supervising your fur baby/babies all day, this may not be the best fit. :) I’ve cared for dogs in a variety of settings, including fenced yards, cable runs, and supervised free roam. I’m experienced with crate training and handling dogs with different leash manners, from strong pullers to well behaved walkers. I have handled elderly dogs, administering oral and injectable medications. I have also dealt with young pups, and cleaned up potty messes. For cats, I’ve always kept them safely indoors and monitor them to ensure their well being. I do my best to clean up and leave the house how it was when I arrived! I do my best to stay connected to my clients, updating them frequently/or asking questions. I do not book house sits until after the meet and greet, and all information is disclosed. I am honest about my availability and will be sure to communicate that to my clients. Do not be afraid to pick someone else if we find it won’t be the best fit! I appreciate all transparency in order to make sure your pets get the best quality care they can.
“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 have dog sat multiple times for family friends, usually 3 dogs at a time, no problem. The owners always return to their dogs being happy and healthy. I am self employed now so I am very flexible and will be available pretty much all day to take care of your fur babies. I am very flexible caring for your animals in whatever way you’re most comfortable with and whatever ways work well for your fur baby.
“Aaron is one of the best dog sitters I’ve been able to work with. He is extremely understanding with both you and your pet. Aaron provided daily drop in visits for my pup for 3 weeks and my boy had so much fun with him. And even had a dog buddy to play with! (Aaron’s dog Louie) I would recommend Aaron to everyone. He even assisted with some clean up when my pup decided to chew on things. 10/10 I will hire Aaron and Louie again!”
About: Personal experience with wide variety of animals including dogs, cats, and many totally normal animals that rover won’t allow me to reference in my experience. Willing and able to watch and care for large and small animals. Rates vary depending on number of animals and species. I currently stay at home and my children and grown, allowing me flexibility and availability to care for animals round the clock, meeting difficult medication schedules or potty breaks. I offer services in clients homes only and will provide food and water on schedule, dishwashing for pet dishes as needed, regular dog walking/poop removal, litter box cleaning, medication administration as needed, brushing and playtime. I am also able to provide care for farm and exotic animals with specific care instructions.
About: Fury, hairless, scales and beaks. I’m comfortable and good with all kinds of pets. I can handle multiple at a time or just one little guy. This is what I currently do for work! It fits into most of my routine and allows me to do my hobbies like working out and reading. I make sure to always have food and water available, playtime and walks to get energy out, and cuddles. If clients have specific orders they shall be met.
“Michaela was flexible, communicative and a good listener, thorough and conscientious. We appreciated knowing that our animals were well cared for while out of town. Highly recommended.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Ireland
Susana is wonderful! We were so grateful for the great care she provided to our two kitties. One of our kitties in particular is a little standoffish to new people but he was so comfortable around Susana. We enjoyed the updates and photos each day which really helped put our minds at ease while we were away.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 6,298 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Ireland. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Ireland. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
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 have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have 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 are 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 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 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 reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
