“This is my first time using Rover.Com and Karrie and the experience was awesome! Easy to find the best qualified sitter by the photos/reviews, easy payment and follow up. Karrie was perfect for my pups! We chatted beforehand about my expectations, gave her background on my Doxies who both had IVDD surgery this past year, their unique personalities and explore Karrie’s qualifications. Perfect match! She stayed with my 2 Doxies 8 hours in our hotel suite while we attended a football game. She arrived on time, followed my instructions and my pups were safe & happy upon our return. Would definitely use her and Rover.Com again!”
“Tiffany was able to help us out last minute when other pet sitting plans fell through and we’re so happy to have found her! She was great with our two pups and sent us pics throughout her stay. She was great at communicating with us before and during and we came home to a clean home and happy pups. We will definitely use her again! Thank you Tiffany for your professionalism and for taking such good care of our pups!”
“Yelena was absolutely wonderful! She responded quickly and was able to accommodate us last minute to watch our fur-babies, which we really appreciated. Throughout the day, she sent us pictures and updates, giving us peace of mind that they were happy and well cared for. She also treated our home with the utmost respect and was such a pleasure to have in our home. We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter and would definitely recommend Yelena to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and dependable. We will absolutely be using her again! 🐾❤️”
“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.”
“Tonya, was exceptional. Dogs loved her, I was able to relax and enjoy my time at my daughters wedding in Dominican without having to regularly check in at home. I received updates and photos which is something I need and she just checked all the boxes. I trust her and would absolutely use her again! (she evan had to administer meds to one dog daily and no issues) Thank you for everything!”
“Nathan is a great sitter. He sent me photos of my senior dog and younger dog while I was away/traveling for work. It’s a huge relief to find someone who can handle giving my senior dog arthritis medicine which I really appreciate. Thanks Nathan.”
About: I’ve been pet sitting since 2015 and have loved every moment. I have a big heart for animals and the people who adore them. Pets bring so much joy to our lives, and they deserve the same love and care in return. When you’re away, you can feel at ease knowing your pets are safe, happy, and treated like family. I am in pet grooming school Monday through Friday from 9-3pm. I am fully available on weekends. If there are any other questions you may have about my schedule feel free to contact me! I do not have any pets (except a turtle), and my parents are animal lovers like me so they always give lots of extra love. We do not have a fence but we do have a good yard.
About: I worked at a dog boarding and daycare facility for 3 years, where I completed multiple courses on canine behavior and handling. I hold a degree in Animal Behavior and have been dog sitting for friends and family for several years. Currently, I work part-time as a Zoological Specialist, and previously gained years of experience caring for and training exotic animals. I have a strong foundation in animal training techniques, and my background gives me a deep understanding of behavior, safety, and enrichment — insight I bring to every pet I care for! My own dog, Moxie, was my best friend & lived a long, happy life of 15 1/2 years. She taught me how deeply we love our pets & how much they mean to us. That’s why I treat every animal I care for as if they’re my own! I currently work 40 hours as a Zoological Specialist, with a rotating schedule. My weekend falls on Wednesday and Thursday, when I’m most available. Since my shifts vary, I often have availability during weekday mornings or evenings, depending on the week. Safety has always been a top priority in my work. While at the dog daycare, I was responsible for closely observing canine behavior to ensure safe and positive interactions within playgroups.
“Chloe & Rayvon were awesome with Riley & Kahlua! I was nervous to use a service and people I didn’t know, especially with my roommates dog's. I almost had to cancel my overnight trip until I ran across their profile. Even though I asked last minute... They responded within minutes and accepted. They went above and beyond what we asked. They communicated very well and sent pictures regularly. Even brought our packages in that had been left by the door. Not only will we be recommending them, we will also be using them again & again! Job well done!”
“Fanny house sat for my only-child kitty and was absolutely incredible!!! She was responsive, caring, and thorough, making sure to leave the home exactly like (and maybe cleaner than!) I left it. I highly recommend working with her, and will absolutely reach out again when I need someone to look after my baby. Thank you, Fanny!!!”

I participate in local events, fundraising and Hound Around Town monthly. I have since expanded my efforts with Husky Haven of Florida as a transport for rescues. I’ve worked at Disney’s pet resort & dog daycare in downtown Orlando. 💯 My base rate listed on my profile covers standard, high-quality care (feeding, potty breaks, and companionship). Since I am a certified dog trainer, the context described above is offered as an active Training Add-On Package for an extra $15 per day. Just be sure to brief me in your contact message and we can discuss together further in detail. With dog training as my core, and having an Executive Assistant professional background of over 20 years, calendar maintenance comes natural and my availability is easily workable around varying schedules. If I’m not at the dog park or training, I can be available for services as necessary. I focus on science-backed methods that are mindful and effective, while integrating enrichment, affection, stimulation (both mentally and physically), rest breaks, sniffy walks, play time and cuddles. I prioritize the pet parents requests and instructions, aligned with fulfillment that meets the dog’s foundational needs.
“Savannah was an amazing pet and house sitter. She went above and beyond to not only take care of our furr babies, but take care of our house too! She is very accommodating, communicative and great with our animals. Thank you once again for taking care of our zoo!”
“Danielle was available to help us out last minute when our Sitter cancelled. She was fabulous. Very professional from the initial booking interaction to the excellent care provided for our pups. Nate and Oki loved their day with her and we could not have been happier with Dani’s Service. Thanks!!!… you helped to really make our day a fantastic one.”
“I had to attend some intensive work training with really unpredictable and super weird hours, and Kelly was an absolute lifesaver. Her flexibility was incredible—she worked around my crazy schedule without hesitation and always made it work seamlessly. She was extremely punctual and fully accountable, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. Throughout the stay, she proactively sent me adorable pictures of my dogs and quickly responded to every message, reassuring me that they were happy, safe, and receiving the best possible care. Knowing she was checking in on both me and my pups meant the world during a stressful time. If you're looking for a trustworthy, caring, and highly responsive pet sitter, look no further. I will definitely be booking her again and recommending her to everyone I know. Thank you so much for everything—you're a true professional and a dog lover! ❤️”
“Absolutely the best dog, cat and house sitter we've ever had. Wonderful with our sensitive rescue dog. Continued with the training we had started. Took her for long walks. Extra caring for our very old cat and even monitored his weight for us. Found a problem with our jacuzzi that the pool people missed and got them to correct it. Ended up drying all of our bedding and towels at her own home as there was a problem with our dryer on her last day. Left the house spotless and watered the plants. Sent wonderful photos and updates. Excellent communicator and problem solver. Made 9 days of our trip much more enjoyable knowing she was there. Highly recommend.”
“Brigit once again did an amazing job with house sitting and taking care of our dogs. She is always pleasant, professional, and includes daily updates. She is our go to Rover sitter. We highly recommend her to anyone who needs a caring sitter to watch their pets.”

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!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Killarney is $47 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $27 and $71 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 3,051 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.
<b>Tip:</b> 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 , 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 .
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 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
