House sitting in Ireland

If you love animals and dream of visiting The Emerald Isle, house sitting in Ireland could be for you. What’s the craic? Well, pet lovers like you can find free accommodation in Ireland by keeping animals safe and happy at home while their owners are away.

From adorable dogs in Dublin to cute kitties in Cork, pets in beautiful areas across the country need you! Where will house sitting in Ireland take you? Perhaps you’ll experience life by the coast, caring for a four-pawed Galway girl, or maybe you’ll strike the luck of the Irish and wake up in a Limerick manor house - explore options in Ireland to find out.

Dublin

Dublin provides exotic coastal towns and beautiful gardens to explore when looking after a dog in Ireland. Start your day at the Marlay Park in South Dublin, where your four-legged companions can enjoy long walks along serene pathways and play in green spaces. The intertwining paths provide scenic walking trails past little bridges and giant trees. The enclosed dog park is the perfect spot for your pet friends to let off some steam. Just north of Dublin, you will find a dog-friendly beach in Howth. The beach is a sandy paradise for dogs.

Galway

Discover vibrant Galway on your Ireland pet adventure - from scenic hikes to beautiful beaches, your pet friend will have plenty of fun activities to enjoy. You can plan trips to the Cliffs of Moher, which is 90 minutes from Galway and marvel at the spectacular sea cliffs and magnificent views. Your four-legged friends can tag along on leash and catch the beautiful views, but they cannot come along the Cliffs Coastal Walk. If you visit the Cliffs of Moher early, you may have enough time to explore the Aran Islands nearby. Dogs are allowed on the ferry, and you can walk along the scenic spots.

Cork

Retreat to Cork and uncover hidden gems while looking after a dog in Ireland. Let your new pet friends splash in the blue waters of the Atlantic or play in the sand surrounding spectacular beaches. Garretstown Beach is a surfer’s beach at the coast of Cork, and dogs can also enjoy a dip or picnic in the sand. Barleycove and Inchydoney permit dogs on leash. Ensure you also stroll around Fitzgerald Park and hunt down the infamous Micheal Collins sculpture by Seamus Murphy.

Donegal

Donegal’s dramatic beauty will be the highlight of your Ireland pet adventure. From jagged sea cliffs to rolling waves of the ocean, you will have a wonderful time with your new pet friends. You can enjoy glorious walks along scenic routes or hike dramatic summits in Errigal. The Glenveagh National Park is an adventurous space to explore with a chance to see a herd of red deer. You can walk around the gardens or hike the mountainous trail surrounding Glenveagh Castle.
