About: I have had dogs and small animals my whole life! I am well experienced with both low-energy level as well as high-energy level (I grew up with Australian Cattle dogs), and so am able to provide an environment that is mentally enriching and suited to your pet! Additionally, I've had rabbits and guinea pigs in the past, and so am used to managing the needs of unique/diverse animals. I am currently enrolled in my Masters of Law online, and so spend majority of my day in or right around the flat studying. I do work part-time in a bar, but this is only a 2 minute walk from my house, and at the moment I am only working Saturdays, so your pet would never be left alone too long. As I am home most of the day, your fur baby will always have the option of my attention. Although I do not have a fenced in yard, I take several small walks a day already to maintain a clear head. I am also only around the corner from the Botanic Park, so outside time can be easily adapted to your pets needs!
“Maeve was brilliant with my Mutley. We were visiting from Scotland and wanted to have a couple of days in Belfast. It was great to know that Mutley was in safe hands. Really appreciated the regular updates and photos Maeve shared with Mutley on her walks. I would certainly book Maeve again.”
“Fiona was great with Belle, and we felt safe leaving Belle in her care. Communication was excellent, with regular photos throughout the day, and we came back to a happy dog. We have further daycare booked with Fiona - would recommend!”
“Maja was beyond awsome looking after our dog Snoopy and I would highly recommend her to anyone! Snoopy came home relaxed after a very pampered night with lots of walks, playtime and cuddles. Maja gave us regular updates and reports with photos. Very professional and concerned for Snoopy’s wellbeing. Clearly an animal lover and so nice to deal with. We can’t thank her enough”
“Finding a reliable and trustworthy pet sitter was crucial for me. 🐾 Luckily, I stumbled upon Sarah and I couldn't be happier with their assistance! 🙌 Not only do they take amazing care of my fur baby, but they also send me adorable photo updates throughout the day. 📸 It's such a relief to know my Luca🧸 in good hands while I'm away. ❤️ If you're in need of a pet sitter, I highly recommend Sarah without a second thought. Trust me, your furry friends will thank you! Luca love you Sarah♥️”
About: I have many years of experience - I looked after my family dog for 17 years and have fostered several puppies from the Dublin SPCA, which often involved administering medicine. I was a registered volunteer with the DSPCA also, so am comfortable walking dogs of all sizes. I currently care for my 6 month old kitten, Pepper. I work Monday to Friday 9am to 1pm. I work at queens university, just two minutes from my house. I would be available every evening and all weekend too. I care for my kitten pepper in my home and would love to mind other cats who could help her socialize and keep her company. I am also available for dog walking.
“We were nervous about leaving Missy for the first time but we had nothing to worry about, she looks like she had a great time and spoiled!lol Thanks so much Isla she will definitely be back x”
“Milo had a great time with Heidi. We received some updates through the day and Heidi was very helpful when our travel plans changed and we needed to sort an alternative drop-off arrangement. I’ve already rebooked!”
“My springer Maisie had a great day with Helen and her lovely dog Rhubarb. Helen was very careful to check all Maisie's needs when setting up day care and she made sure Maisie got walks / stimulation and rest times throughout the day. Would highly recommend.”
About: I’m a Canadian law student at Queen’s University Belfast and a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all kinds. From energetic puppies and curious kittens to senior pets, small animals, and those with special behavioral needs, I adapt to each pet’s personality and routine. I pride myself on being reliable, caring, and attentive, making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved while in my care. As a student with a very flexible schedule, I have plenty of gaps between classes and free time on weekends, which makes it easy for me to fit pet care into my daily routine. This flexibility allows me to reliably provide walks, visits, and care at times that work best for both you and your pet. When caring for pets in their owner’s home, I always focus on keeping them comfortable and maintaining their normal routine. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully for feeding, walking, playtime, and any special needs, while also giving plenty of attention and affection. I make sure pets feel safe and cared for in their familiar environment, and I treat every home with the same respect and responsibility as I would my own.
About: I currently live in Belfast City Centre. I’ve looked after my own dogs for over 20 years. I have the most experience with small and medium dogs of all ages. My own little Westie Honey lived until she was 18 years old and I looked after her in her old age when she went deaf and blind and had a series of strokes. I have experience in feeding, bathing, walking, cleaning up after and entertaining both large and small dogs. I have just finished my maternity cover contract with my work place and would like to focus on pet setting as my main source of income at the moment, so I am fully flexible to help out with your pet needs. I live in a 5th floor apartment so it is unlikely I will be able to take pets into my own home long term, unless there are special circumstances that require it. I am fully willing to visit your home multiple times per day when you are unable to be at home with your pets. I am also able to stay in your home over night if you require. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions for me!
About: Hi, I'm Stacie. I've worked with dogs in a variety of settings in both Ireland and Barcelona, including dog walking, pet sitting, and boarding kennels. One of the main reasons I started offering dog walking and pet sitting services is because I've seen firsthand that many dogs are much happier and more relaxed staying in their own home environment. I know from experience that being cared for at home, keeping their usual routine, and receiving one-to-one attention can make a huge difference to a dog's wellbeing. I have experience with dogs of all breeds, ages, and personalities, including anxious, nervous, and reactive dogs. I take the time to get to know each dog as an individual, building trust and ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and happy in my care. Whether your dog loves long walks, sniffing adventures, or simply needs company while you're away, I'll treat them with the same care, patience, and affection that I would my own dog Indie 🐶🐾 I'm currently very flexible and happy to work around your schedule to find what suits both you and your dog best ☺️ Having returned from Spain, where I worked with dogs, I now have plenty of availability for regular walks and pet care. Whether you're looking for daily walks at set times or more occasional support, I'd love to help and provide reliable, personalised care for your dog. Your dog's wellbeing will always be my top priority, and I'm happy to work with you to create a care plan that suits their individual needs and personality. 😁🐾

I am happy to provide loving care for your special pet. I’m available for home visits, walks, & care at my own home. My home is safe, we have a small garden. We also have a crate, doggy bed, blankets & toys. Our home is warm and cosy. Happy to follow any special requests.
About: Hi, I'm Shireeka and I live with my best friend Brick the pug. I'm in my thirties, Brick is 3 and we live in a lovely 2 bedroom house with a garden. Being a dog Mammy I know what it's like to worry or feel guilty when you leave them for any period of time ❤️ so I really wanted to give back what Rover sitters provide for me: a safe and loving place to take care of fur babies. It's also Brick and I's dream to have a full wolfpack one day but for now making new besties will be great! I work from home and have a decent sized enclosed garden and house for dogs to roam in. Me and Brick love going for regular walks and live close to a couple of great parks so would love some friends to join us! I work from home so myself and my pug Brick will enjoy the company for daycare or boarding! We love going for regular walks in the local parks everyday too and would LOVE some friends to join us. I have a fully walled concrete back area for toilets and have a great sized living room with lots of dog toys, beds and a comfy sofa to nap and play on. My fun, socialble 3 year old pug Brick is very excited to make new friends.
About: Having dogs and cats since I was 6 years old. I love animals and care for them. In the last few months I took care of a rusell, a beagle and a beautiful cat. I'm usually available from Monday to Friday mostly for day care, walking and drop in visits. I may be available on weekends too for boarding depending on the dates In my home, I make sure they have a comfy space, regular exercise, playtime, and lots of attention, keeping them part of the daily routine. I stick to their regular schedule as closely as possible, making sure they feel safe and comfortable in their familiar environment. Either way, I prioritize keeping them happy, healthy, and loved. I make sure they always have the leash on when walking them.
About: Experienced in various fields within the doggy industry. I have been dog walking for the past three years. I have dabbled aswell with dog training but not professionally. I myself own a Rhodesian ridgeback. I work full time as a dog walker and sitter so I am available at all hours of the day to cater to your pets' needs. I have a fenced garden and everything a pet needs in my household. Pupdates will be provided daily for owners own peace of mind. Feel free to message for any further details :)

I left my dog with her for a few hours and he came back with the biggest smile. He usually barks meeting someone for the first time but not at her he didnt bark and went with her with no problem. I really recomend her if your looking for someone to mind your pet. At the end when i was collecting my dog he didnt want to come back because he loved her so much.
Lisa is amazing and has looked after Saffi well. She genuinely loves dogs and Saffi seemed very happy and content in her company. We booked Lisa for a one-off arrangement so we could visit the Titanic Museum and other attractions whilst on holiday in Belfast. Lisa kindly agreed to look after Saffi for us which meant we were able to visit places without worrying. Thank you so much Lisa.
Helen is absolutely amazing and had a lovely manner with our puppy. Unfortunately it didn't work out due to other reasons but would highly recommend to others. I got loads of pictures and updates and safe to say my pip was absolutely exhausted when we brought her home.
Kathryn was absolutely brilliant from start to finish. Super friendly and you can just tell how much she loves dogs. Our boy Indie had a great time and her Goldie Dolly is an absolute sweetheart too. Kathryn provided us with regular updates and photos which was reassuring as it was our boy Indies first time (at the ripe old age of 10) going to doggy day care. Couldn't recommend Kathryn enough. Absolute superstar
We have had such a fantastic experience with Beth and Aisling. Our pup Mac was only 4 months old when we first contacted Beth and Aisling. We were invited to a meet and greet and we instantly felt welcomed by them. Mac has had 2 full days (into the evening) with Beth and Aisling which we required for family events. They have taken such great care of Mac and I would highly recommend them!
I honestly can’t recommend this dog daycare enough! Mylo is a very anxious little dog and usually hates being away from me, so I’m always nervous leaving him anywhere. But from the moment he arrived, he completely surprised me - he bonded straight away and was so settled and comfortable. It really felt like a true home from home. When I picked him up, I could instantly tell he’d had a great day, he was happy, calm, well-rested, and clearly had some nice walks too! I’ll definitely be booking again, thank you so much for making this such a positive experience for both of us 💛
Mac's first time in doggy day care and I was a little nervous. Daisy was absolutely marvellous, Mac was always so excited when he saw Daisy. She sent daily updates and took him on several adventures. Cannot fault Daisy in any way, would not hesitate to leave Mac with her again.
Ronan has taken amazing care of our very active puppy Grace. She is always delighted to see Ronan and comes home happy, exercised but not exhausted. She has terrorized every other person who has watched her, no matter their experience with dogs. Thank you Ronan for being so good with our wee Grace!
Dave was a super dog sitter - Max was really well looked after. Dave was attentive and made sure he knew everything about Maxs needs to make sure he was 💯 settled. Dave was very warm and friendly too! Dave sent lots of photos so we could see how content was. Highly recommend Dave!! Thanks
My Marlo is very timid and a nervous dog. However meeting Nicola she made him feel at ease and us too! She wanted pet names and routine to help her connect to Marlo. We left him a few hours and we received pictures and messages to ease our mind. Marlo looked content. Looking forward to next week so Marlo can connect more with Nicola Tysm ❤️ xxx

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Belfast on Rover is £25.88 per day (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care 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 Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 238 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Belfast. About 85% of Belfast sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you are planning ahead for public holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day cover for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later collection to match your Belfast commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust collection and drop-off times when needed.
Your dog’s first day care experience is a big milestone! To help your pup settle in comfortably, we recommend:
- Food and treats portioned for the day, with feeding instructions
- Your dog's lead and collar (ensure tags are up-to-date)
- Any seasonal gear, such as paw-safe wax for winter or a cooling vest for the summer
- Medication, if applicable, with clear dosage notes
- Any special care instructions or training tips to help your sitter provide the most personalised care possible
Tip: Upload this information directly through the Rover app before drop-off. The more context you provide, the better your sitter can tailor the day to your dog.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog's vaccines is the best way to be 'boarding ready'. Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Sitters in Northern Ireland may request that your dog be up-to-date on core vaccines, such as Canine Distemper, Canine Parvovirus, Canine Adenovirus (also known as DHP or DHPPi), Leptospirosis and Kennel Cough. Cats may be required to have Feline Panleucopenia Virus, Feline Herpesvirus, Feline Calicivirus, and Feline Leukaemia Virus up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 poo breaks occured. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available for dedicated customer support by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalised, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter on Rover must pass an identity verification before they can list their services. An identity verification confirms that the sitter is who they say they are based on their documents.
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 our Trust & Safety page .
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English, French, German, and Spanish from Mon-Sat 9am to 6pm. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a qualified vet or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s booking protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes dedicated customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement programme 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 dog, 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.
We require sitters to operate in compliance with applicable local licensing requirements. In England, pet sitters who board dogs or provide doggy day care as a business may need a valid licence under the Animal Welfare (Licensing of Activities Involving Animals) Regulations 2018. When vetting your sitter, ask if they meet local licensing requirements for dog boarding. This confirmation is important for coverage under the Rover Guarantee. Read more about our requirement for following local licensing requirements .
