“Taylor took excellent care of our dog and cat! We have quite a few "special" requirements for our senior four-legged family members and Taylor was up for the task. She stayed in our home and fit in like a champ! In fact, we've booked Taylor for another (longer) visit. Thank you, Taylor!”
“Karrie was wonderful with our fur babies. This was the first time we ever trusted anyone to care for them while we were away. Karrie has eased our thoughts and has given us the confidence we need to use her services again.”
“Jezabell was such an amazing dog sitter! She gave frequent updates and sent lots of pictures. She also took excellent care of our home and left it spotless. She is trust worthy and I already booked her for future drop ins! I highly highly recommend her!!”
“As always Margarita was the best and we are so fortunate to have her as our regular sitter for Bullit. She is so sweet with him and gives the best updates, we absolutely love her!!”
“Diahann and her sister were wonderful! They made sure to keep me updated and sent pictures of my anxious little pup with separation anxiety. They made him feel as comfortable as possible, and he did really well with them. When I got home everything looked exactly as I left it, if not better. I will definitely be using them again!”
“Ella took great care of our puppies, house-sitting while we were out of town. She fed/walked the dogs as requested and even brought in our mail, shoveled the snow in the driveway and took the garbage out before leaving! Truly a gem ✨”
“Yelena was great, easy to reach and communicate with. Skai loved her and she even left her a new toy to play with! You can tell she is very experienced with dogs especially being that Skai can be very hyper but it did not seem to bother her at all. I would definitely book again, she made things very easy and smooth thank you :)”
About: For over 15 years, I have provided comprehensive, high-quality care for both dogs and cats. My experience ranges from high-energy playtime to specialized senior care and positive reinforcement training. I pride myself on creating a safe, structured, and joyful environment for every pet. What I Offer- Medical & Senior Care: Confident in administering oral medications and skin topicals, as well as managing specialized routines for aging pets. Positive Training: Skilled in teaching basic manners, tricks, and reinforcing good behavior using force-free methods. Play & Enrichment: Expert at reading animal body language to deliver the perfect balance of physical exercise and mental stimulation. Feline Expertise: Experienced in managing cat behavior, specialized diets, and giving space to timid or anxious felines. Whether your pet needs basic puppy training, gentle elder care, or just a fun day of structured play, I adapt my approach to their unique personality. Because my work schedule varies week-to-week, I am highly adaptable and can often accommodate non-traditional times, last-minute requests, and mid-day visits that standard 9-to-5 sitters cannot. I manage my calendar tightly to ensure that when your pet is booked, they get my 100% undivided attention, medical care, and training focus. As a seasoned pet professional specializing in medical administration and behavioral training, I look at safety through a clinical and preventative lens. I do not just watch your pet; I actively monitor their health, behavior, and physical surroundings to prevent accidents before they happen. You can travel with total peace of mind knowing an expert is at the helm.
“Kiara was amazing. She stayed with Coco the whole day. Coco met her once prior to sitting and when Kiara walked in the door Coco was excited. Dogs are a great judge of character I believe. She was very accommodating and I will definitely use her again.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life! Since I was a kid, I’ve had real responsibilities caring for my four dogs. I also help neighbors with pet care while they were away, from feeding to walking. Last summer, I worked at pet paradise as a playtime coordinator. In this role I supervised play groups, read body language, and made sure every pet was safe and having fun. I’m a recent graduate from UF and my schedule is very flexible right now. I’m dedicating time to study for the LSAT, but that gives me a consistent routine at home, which makes me a reliable option for regular walks, drop ins, or longer sits. Your pets safety is my top priority, and I’ve take multiple online courses on this for my previous pet care job. I stay alert and know how to stop signs of discomfort or stress. I always follow specific care instructions from the parents. If anything unexpected comes up, I communicate right away, I treat every pet as if they’re my own!
“Tiffany was so great! She arrived as promised and even took our dog out one extra time for us since we were returning late. The dog was happy and well- cared for, left the house in great shape. Will definitely use Tiffany again and highly recommend!”
About: I have a deep commitment to the safety of your pet, and I am also reliable, I am basically a peace of mind for you and your pets. It fits well for me because I work from home, and I am very consistent. A pets emotional and physical well being is important to me. I make sure to add a great play time routine as well as a steady bathroom routine. My backyard has plenty of space for zoomies. I maintain familiarity, as well as keeping a well secure home. Im constantly supervising and I make it certain the pets are comfortable. A comfortable set up is important to me for the pets.
“Alexis took great care of our two senior cats while housesitting — including caring for my houseplants. Our cats are very affectionate and can be very needy, so we were happy to receive regular updates with photos showing them being loved on. I highly recommend her services and we will be happy to book her again for our future travel.”

Ava is fantastic, we've had her watch our home and fur babies multiple times now and can't say enough good things about her services. Kind, respectful, friendly are just a few of the words that come to mind . . . we feel at ease on holiday knowing she's in our home!
We chose Marlene to care for our pup while we were away for the weekend, and she was absolutely amazing! She took such great care of her and kept us updated with lots of pictures and videos, which gave us complete peace of mind and allowed us to truly enjoy our trip without worrying. It was clear she was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. We will definitely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!
I can’t say enough good things about Delanie. She went above and beyond in every way. From the moment we booked, communication was effortless, updates were thoughtful, and the level of care she gave Oliver and Sophie was exceptional. I came home to a happy, relaxed fur babies. Absolutely perfect, thank you Delanie for everything!

FAQs for House Sitting - Killarney
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Killarney on Rover is $48.05 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 House Sitting 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 3,043 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Killarney. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Killarney walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Killarney maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Killarney choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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 .
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 veterinarian. 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 authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their 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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.

- 96% 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.
