I'm glad we decided to book with Helena and Jörn for our recent trip away. They were great and very communicative! Our cat was quite shy, but Jörn gave her the space she needed while making sure she was well fed and had clean litter and plenty of treats! We will definitely book with them next time we go away.

Helena and Jörn were absolutely brilliant! They took great care of our cat Ferdie, communicated really clearly and thoroughly with us and sent some lovely photos. We really got the sense that they went over and above in their care for our cat and we will look to book them again the next time we need help. Thank you so much Helena and Jörn!

Helena and Jörn are wonderful - our dogs were very happy to see them and came back to us with wagging tails. High praise from our two.

Thank you Helena and Jorn for taking such good care of Beau while we were away. Loved how you made us feel that Beau was on a vacation too ☺️ thank you for all the regular updates and photos of him we loved seeing him with his new friends. You’re both very kind and caring and we hope you can look after him again when needed. Thank you 🥰

Couldn’t have asked for better cat sitters! Our two cats were so well looked after, and we got lots of pictures and updates on how they were while we were away. Will definitely book again next time we’re away!!

Helena and Jörn are a great team and did a wonderful job looking after our cats. They were polite, very thorough and dependable, with a clear intuition for animals and their needs. Jörn provided daily updates without the need for us to reply to everything, so we could enjoy our holiday and not have to keep checking our phones. I highly recommend Jörn and Helena to anyone looking for kind, capable and trustworthy pet sitters. Thanks again for looking after Suki and Fern!

Safety, trust & environment

We have a large apartment with an outdoor courtyard that's completely walled off and safe. We're also fortunate to have lots of lovely nearby spots for walkies, including public parks and the seaside! We're so fortunate that our neighborhood is very dog friendly, with lots of local doggies that we meet regularly on our walkies and two dog friendly cafés across the street. So the dogs that stay with us have a great social life! Our policy is to keep dogs on their leash at all times outside of the home regardless of their recall abilities, so you have the peace of mind that your fur baby is safe at all times.

A typical day

I live in Monkstown with my husband, daughter and fur baby Muffin. My whole family absolutely adore dogs and cats. Our four year old jug (jack russell/pug) Muffin loves to have other dogs to play with, so your dog won't be lonely! We have a large apartment with an outdoor courtyard that's completely walled off and safe. Having used Gudog and Rover as owners ourselves, we know how important it is to receive pictures and updates. We'll keep you up to date each day, so you know that your dog is safe and happy. We're very fortunate to have several parks and the seaside just 3 minutes stroll away, so your dog will get lots of walkies and fresh air. When booking, let me know about your dog's personality, where they like to sleep, eating habits and everything in between, and I'll do my utmost to make them feel right at home. We ask that your dog be fully toilet trained and comfortable with children and other dogs.

Every dog has their own personality, so before your dog's stay with us, we'll ask you about their usual schedule, dietary requirements, and any other quirky behaviour you think we should know about :)
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
