Top cities for house sitting in Ireland

Are you going away but have a pet that prefers to stay in their own environment? Or perhaps you have a range of different animals and it’s not practical for you to organise for them to stay in different places? Then you might want to consider finding a Pawshake house sitter to come and stay at your Ballincollig home while you are away.

House sitting is a convenient and affordable option when you have multiple pets and also want your house to be securely looked after while you are away. Many of our pet sitters have very reasonable house sitting rates because they enjoy staying and exploring different local neighbourhoods like Ballincollig.

At Pawshake, we understand that trusting your home to a stranger can be a little daunting. So we’ve done all the hard work to ensure that your Pawshake house sitter is trustworthy and reliable. All our pet sitter profiles are checked individually by our dedicated trust and safety team and some house sitters also have their own police checks which they can share with you.

The best thing about engaging a Pawshake verified house sitter is that you can relax knowing that on top of being covered by The Pawshake Guarantee which includes veterinary coverage, so your pets are being cared for in a familiar environment and your Ballincollig home is also being looked after as well. 

In addition to looking after your pets, most of our house sitters will happily help you by collecting your mail, taking out the bins, and watering your plants. Just make sure you discuss all your requirements with your chosen house sitter prior to booking.

Hello !  I am from Argentina, I traveled to Ireland to learn English and work 9 months ago with my husband. &nbsp;My parents love animals and I grew up my whole life with many dogs and cats at home.&nbsp;My grandparents are farmers so I have experience with pigs, chickens, and sheep too.&nbsp;I studied veterinary medicine for a year but I couldn't continue it because I had to move to another city, but I continued studying Agricultural Engineering and graduated. &nbsp;A normal day in my house in Argentina begins with waking up in a bed with at least one cat on it and at least one dog sleeping near my bed, we all go to the bathroom together (cats, dogs and me), I brush my teeth and&nbsp; we take the breakfast.  my pets supervise all these actions.  Then I go to work and when I come back everything is a beautiful party, first we play on the floor together and then I continue with my life.  I miss them very much and I would like to spend time with other pets, play with them and walk with them. &nbsp;I am available to walk with your pet and I can also go to see it daily if the family went on a trip, but I cannot bring it to my house since I live with other people and animals are not allowed. &nbsp;If your pet has a health problem or needs medication, please let me know so I can be prepared.&nbsp;I hope you like my profile and give me the confidence to spend time with your pet.

Hi there, it would be a great pleasure to mind your companion. We are super fond of all breeds, knowing that each has a unique personality. We have great experince minding through other pet sitter platforms, reviews on this platform can be requested. We know that it is important to you to have flexibility and therefore we offer a no-rush service. We live in the country side with a big lawn out the front for him/her to play with plenty of walking routes to choose from also.
I have my own online business which is dog related, i spend the majority of my time at home, therefore your friend will not be left alone. We would love to know as much as we can about your friend so we can make them feel at home and adopt to their habits (eating schedule/walks/ nap time).
Our home is a one bedroom bungalow with plenty of space for him/her to roam around as they please.
Thank you for taking the time to read.

I have had two dogs back in my home country, and my love for dogs and animals, in general, is what motivates me to be a pet sitter. While I may not have professional experience, my personal experience as a dog owner has taught me valuable lessons about the care and companionship that pets need. I understand the bond between pets and their owners, and I am dedicated to providing the same love and attention when you can't be there for your furry family members. 
I believe in creating a safe and comfortable environment for all pets in my care, and part of that commitment involves only accepting vaccinated pets into my home. This policy is essential for the health and well-being of all animals in my care and helps prevent the spread of diseases within the pet community.
I'm excited to have the opportunity to care for your pets and provide them with the love and attention they deserve. Your pets' happiness and well-being are my top priorities, and I look forward to being a reliable and loving pet sitter for your furry companions.


I am Pet's mother. I love the energy and joy of animals. They are the best company!I can help you and your family with this tour. Text me for more information.&nbsp;In Brazil I'm personal trainer and I have 1 beautiful border collie, very smart and trained and 3 pinscher fun. In addition to being very careful with them, I have always taken care of my friends' pets. I also have a sister who is a veterinary doctor.&nbsp;In addition to helping the dog's physical health, taking him for a walk is also important to keep your pet calm and relaxed, preventing your pet from becoming aggressive, anxious and stressed. Walks are also highly recommended to avoid hyperactivity and depression in your dog.Good places to stroll would be in squares and parks.Prepare the specific water bottle for the animal;  Pet toys, balls, discs or rings;  Biscuit or food for longer trips;  Muzzle, if the dog is not so sociable...

Hey there! Aspiring pet sitter and&nbsp;student with a heart as big as a Great Dane's!  If there's one thing that brings me unending joy, it's the company of our furry friends.

Whether it's a playful pup, a curious kitty, or a cuddly critter, I'll shower them with the love and attention they deserve while you're away.You see, animals have this magical power to turn any day into a tail-wagging, whisker-twitching adventure, and I'm here to make sure their adventures never miss a beat! From energetic walks to soothing belly rubs, I'm a pro at catering to each pet's unique needs and whims.As a dedicated student, I've learned a thing or two about responsibility, time management, and multitasking (because, let's be honest, pet sitting can sometimes feel like wrangling a bunch of playful monkeys!). With me, you can rest assured that your four-legged family members are in safe hands.I'm committed to providing a worry-free experience for you and a wag-tastic, purr-fectly memorable time for your pets.So, let's team up and create a bond that'll make tails wag, hearts purr, and smiles stretch from ear to ear! Contact me today, and let's make your pet's dreams come true while you're away. They'll have so much fun, they might even consider giving me a 'pawsome' report card!️***Note: While I would love to accommodate every pet under my roof, my pet-sitting services are exclusively provided in the comfort of your furry friend's own home.&nbsp;

Dog walking 
In Cork for college, I'm really missing the daily walks with my two labradors back home. It's got me thinking – why not turn this into an opportunity to help out others in need of a dog walker? I've had my fair share of handling my own dogs, so I get the drill – regular walks are a must for their overall well-being.
As a responsible pet owner, I'm genuinely excited about the idea of offering my services. It's not about some grand mission; it's just me wanting to explore Cork while giving other dogs the exercise and company they need. I'm up for dog walks whenever they're needed because, let's face it, we all have busy lives.
No fancy promises here – just a dog lover looking to fill a void and maybe make a few furry friends along the way. If you need a hand with your pup, hit me up.
I do not offer dog services at my own home. I will walk any dogs (collect and drop home )

I'm Gary Healy, a dedicated dog walker and sitter with a true heart for all canine companions. Hailing from the vibrant community of Pawshake, I am here to offer your dogs not just a service, but a genuine experience filled with care, respect, and joy.
I come to you fully Garda vetted, with all necessary identification and proof of address provided for your peace of mind. My journey with dogs spans a lifetime, during which I have had the privilege of caring for a diverse range of breeds. My experience ensures that your beloved pet will be in knowledgeable and loving hands.

My passion for dogs goes beyond mere walking or sitting; it's about respecting and understanding the unique personalities and needs of each canine. I am deeply committed to being responsible and attentive, ensuring your dog's safety and happiness are always my top priorities.

Whether it's raining or shining, you can count on me to be there for your friend. I tailor each walk to suit the weather conditions and the comfort of your dog, guaranteeing an enjoyable time out, every time.

Hi I'm Leanne and I am currently a student in my 4th year of music college. I have always had a passion for taking care of animals. Growing up, my grandmother used to breed dogs when she was younger and always had at least 3 dogs in the house at one time. Both my grandmother and mother are caring animal lovers and they passed on this trait to me. As I am in college I do not have any pets and I miss it like crazy! I regulary visit friends who have pets so that I can spend time with animals. Over the years I have taken care of many pets! When my relatives got sick I was asked to come to their homes and look after the dogs and cats for hours/overnight visits. I also did this for neighbours of mine when they were away on holidays or working long hours. I also worked in the marina market for 2 years and spent most of my day petting and leaving out bowls of water for dogs. I have an attachment to pets and think they are such an integral part of family and home life.&nbsp;
The services I provide are 1 or 2 hour walks with pickup and drop off. I can offer 2 walks per day (1 hour each). I can help with training as I have spent time studying behavioural science in regard to animals. I can also do home visits and check on the animals whilst the person is away. This would include feeding, pets, administering oral medication and exercise such as playing or walking. I can do this up to 3 times per day depending on the needs of the owner/animal. I am in 4th year of college and have scattered short lectures, therefore I can take time out of my day regularly to check up on the animal. As of my present living situation I cannot board animals but I will be moving in May and that service should become available. 


Hey! My name is Franklin and I currently live with my shepherd mix, Fry.&nbsp;I rescued him from an SPCA animal shelter in New York, USA when he was just under a year old. His paperwork said he was taken away from his original owner by the authorities due to animal cruelty so he had severe issues with separation anxiety and was fearful of other dogs. After much work and training, Fry is now an incredibly well behaved member of the family who can now be alone for hours, get along very well with other dogs, and is very affectionate &nbsp;He has also traveled to 7 countries and has lived in 4!&nbsp;My motivation for signing up here is that I simply love dogs, especially training and helping any dogs that have behavioral issues. I believe I have a lot to offer with my experience so I'm happy to help anyone in need of a dog sitter that is responsible, knowledgeable, and can handle dogs of any breed, size, and personality.I know how to be a good pack leader, understand dog/pack mentality, and, above all, love spending time with them  I am comfortable handling dogs of ALL sizes, behavioural problems, temperament, and breeds. In the past I've cared for and trained large Rottweilers, German Shepherds, Shiba Inus, American Bullies, Border Collies, Labradors, rescued dogs, and more.&nbsp;My goal is to make sure your pup enjoys his/her stay with us and to allow you a stress free holiday knowing your dog is in perfectly good and safe hands.If your dog has any behavioral issues please please please let me know in advance because it helps me handle them better. I am happy to train your pup with anything you need at no additional cost. Please note, in extreme cases where your dog is known to exhibit extreme behaviour, I may ask you to book a few days of day care or house visits under your supervision while I gain the trust of your dog (e.g., highly territorial, severe separation anxiety, fearful and known to bite).Please note: on Nov 10th, 17th, and 24th I am only available for late evening house visits and walks. Housesitting bookings remain unaffected.&nbsp;


I'm Brazilian, married and Christian, I've been in Cork for a short time, I'm here studying English. At my mother's house in Brazil we have 3 dogs, and I'm missing them, I would really like to satisfy this longing with new friends, I've always loved animals, I even helped take care of one of mine after two cancers, today she is fine, thank God . I have energy and willingness to play, go for walks and give lots of affection.
I can help with oral medications and bandages, because when my dog had cancer I took care of her as the veterinarian instructed me.
On our tours we will have hygiene kits, water and toys to make this time even more comfortable.
Can I tell you something personal? I already wanted to be a veterinarian, time passed and it ended up becoming a dream, due to the conditions I found myself in Brazil, but the love for animals continues, who knows, maybe one day I might become one.

Hello, nice to meet you !
My name is Carlos I am 26 years old and I am from Brazil and currently living in Ireland. I came to Ireland in October of 2021. I I've been living here for over a year and I love it ! But, my whole family is in Brazil and I came so I could work very hard here and buy a house to my family in there. So why not raising money doing something you love ? I am really passionate about dogs and cats. As a kid, I grew up with two ! Unfortunately as you get old, they also do...they are irreplaceable, so I try to fill this void with as many other dogs and cats as I can! So why not working and making money with something you love and makes you feel good? That's why I am here ️
I promise I will take care of your pets the best that I can and provide you with as many follow up as possible. I already have a job, and I am looking for a second way of income so I will take it as professional as I can. If you want your pet to have the best time ever while you are busy, I am here for that ! Feel free to contact me whenever possible!
