When you have to go away or work long hours, you may worry about leaving your pet home alone. Have you ever wondered “Is there a pet or dog sitter in Rathgar that can help?”.

Luckily, with Pawshake, you can easily find local and trusted pet and dog carers from Rathgar to provide drop in visits and other services. This means a pet sitter will come and visit your pet at a time you both agree on and provide lots of love and personal attention. This can include playtime in the backyard, a walk to the local park, or just some cuddle time. Our pet carers can also administer medication, give food, and refresh the water bowl.

In home pet sitting services are a great way to break up the day and enrich it for your pet. Pawshake pet sitters have extensive experience caring for a range of pets including dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, birds and more. If you have multiple pets, home visits are a great option to ensure that they all get a visit and lots of attention during the day.

Drop in visits are the least stressful option for your pet because your pet can stay in their favourite environment – their own home in Rathgar. Their surroundings will be familiar and our loving and passionate Pawshake sitter will spoil them each day. Our sitters will treat your home with respect and are flexible with timing, requests and durations. All this can be discussed before you make a home visit booking.

Pet boarding is a great option for when you are away for a few days and your pet needs overnight care. Unlike pet hotels, Pawshake pet boarding allows you to arrange a personalised daily routine for your pet, whether this be extra belly rubs, playtime or 24 hour supervision. Your pet will stay with the pet sitter in a cosy home environment, rather than a large, impersonal pet hotel.  

So whether you need just one day, a week or even a month, you’ll be able to find an experienced pet or dog carer to accommodate you and your pet’s needs in Rathgar. The best part is that your Pawshake pet sitter is from your local neighbourhood, so they will be familiar with the area.

Our pet carers also have a range of experiences which include puppies, seniors, nervous pets and dog training. So if your pet has special requirements, you’ll be sure to find a pet sitter that is a good match for you.

Your pet’s safety and welfare is a big priority for us, which is why all of our Pawshake pet sitters undergo a strict vetting process by our trust and safety team. At Pawshake, we understand that you might feel a little uneasy allowing a pet sitter to enter your home or arranging pet boarding at their place. This is why Pawshake pet sitters also have reviews from other pet parents that are publicly available on their profile for you to read.

Each pet sitting home visit and pet boarding booking made through Pawshake is covered by the Pawshake Guarantee, which includes veterinary coverage, customer support 7 days a week and more. Rest easy knowing that your pets will be well looked after by one of our expert pet carers in Rathgar.

Hi,&nbsp;
My name is Zana, I love animals and always had them growing up. I grew up with an Irish Setter, 4 cats, a rabbit and a Mongolian desert mouse. I often look after neighbours, friends and family's pets. I have also completed a pet first aid course.

I'm great with providing companionship, care and walks to dogs and cats of all ages and sizes. I'm always happy to snuggle and play with them, and I'm very respectful of their personal boundaries.I'm great with providing companionship, care and walks to dogs and cats of all ages and sizes. I'm always happy to snuggle and play with them, and I'm very respectful of their personal boundaries.
I always make sure to respond to each dog's or cat's individual needs.&nbsp;
I'm looking for a pet walking or pet sitting job in the mornings. I'm available Monday to Friday from 8:30 until 12:30, and Monday to Thursday from 18:30 until 21:00.
I'm happy to do overnight sitting as well.

A typical walk is anywhere from 30 min to 1 hour, it depends what your dog's particular needs are.&nbsp;

I'll come to your home, pick your dog up and drop them home after their walk, following any special requests and the instructions we have agreed upon.&nbsp;
Before leaving your house, I will make sure your pet has adequate water, food or anything else they require. I'll make sure your pet is comfortable and happy!&nbsp;
Please don't hesitate to ask any questions you have for me.
Looking forward to hearing from you!



My name is Talita, I'm 37 years old, and I've been residing in Dublin for over 7 years. In Dun Laoghaire, I mostly focus on customer service and logistics. I've been living alone for a few years in what would be considered a "spacious two-room (bathroom and the rest) studio", given the housing situation on the Emerald Isle right now.
I grew up with animals my entire life. I have a great love for animals of all shapes and sizes, and I genuinely miss having dogs nearby. I'm thrilled to be able to support you by taking care of your animals while you're not around. I'll treat and adore your babies as if they were my own.
I am proficient in how to take care of them, including feeding, bathing, cleaning their cages or litter boxes, taking them for walks (I like all sorts, from little strolls around the neighbourhood to intense adventures in the woods), and even giving them oral medication if required. I've had my own pets throughout the years, so I have expertise in pet care.
When caring for dogs, I think it's crucial to consider their unique personalities and preferences.
My present situation allows me to do house visits after working hours or on the weekends, dog walking, dog daycare, and house sitting. I can also collect and deliver your four-legged pals on foot, by bus, or train. There isn't much room to maintain the larger ones more comfortably, consequently, only little sizes are selected for bringing them to my residence.
I'm quite adaptable, so please let me know if your dog has particular needs or if there is a certain location you would want your dog to visit.&nbsp;


Hey there!
We are Maria and Francis (23 and 25yo), we are a couple that loves dogs and cats. We have always had a passion for animals and enjoy spending time with furry friends.
As pet owners ourselves, we understand the importance of finding reliable and trustworthy pet sitters who will give your pets the same love and attention you would give them yourself. We believe that pets are not just animals, but they are members of the family. We'll treat them like they're our own, ensuring that they are happy, healthy, and comfortable.
We are a responsible couple with a deep understanding of the unique needs of pets. Whether it's feeding, walking, playing, or just giving them lots of love and attention, we're always happy to go above and beyond to make sure your pets feel loved and cared for.
We're excited to join this app, because we moved to Dublin and our dogs and cats are not with us and we miss hanging out around tiny fluffy friends. We're available during the weekend for walks, playtime, and anything else your furry friend needs to stay happy and healthy. Let us know if you need us, and we'll be happy to help out!&nbsp;(Unfortunately we are not able to take pets in our home.)
Best regards,
Maria and Francis

Hello, my name is Átila Rezende Martins, I'm Brazilian and I'm studying English here in Dublin. I have always worked in rural areas, living with large and small animals. In January 2025 I will bring my dogs Beca and Guta, two Jack Russells who are almost 2 years old and have a lot of energy and love to give. It would be great to be able to take them for a walk with other little friends. Until then, I will be very happy to take care of your little animal. I can take your pet for a walk on the street and in the neighborhood parks, if necessary I can also go to the pet's house to provide food, water and administer medication, I take the opportunity to arrange plants and collect correspondence. Tours and visits can take place in the afternoon and evening and last approximately 1 hour. My level of English is elementary at the mome. See you!
