About: I've been a proud pet parent for the past 10 years! I’ve had the joy of caring for a senior dog, and I’m currently lucky enough to share life with my buddy, Buddy. Since he can be a little anxious around new people, kids, and big dogs, he’s taught me to pay keen attention to his body language, respecting his boundaries, and the importance of creating a calm, safe space where he feels comfortable and happy. I know every pet has their own quirks and style of communication, and it is a top priority for me to understand your pet's individual self. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply a calm companion, I'll make sure to give them what they need ◡̈ I understand how hard it can be to leave your furry family member behind, and my goal is to make both you and your pet feel comfortable! I'm currently in nursing school, so when I'm not in class, a big part of my time is dedicated to studying and working. I love spending my free time with animals, and I'd be happy to care for your pup on weekends and select weekdays. I keep my availability up to date so you can always see when I'm available to help! I've been an animal lover my entire life, and caring for my own dog, Buddy, has taught me how to recognize and respond to a dog's unique personality and needs. Every pet communicates differently, and I take the time to learn what makes yours feel comfortable, safe, and happy. Whether it's a walk, drop-in visit, or overnight stay, you can count on me to provide plenty of exercise, fresh water, meals on schedule, playtime, and lots of love and attention. I'll treat your pet like one of my own and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away. ◡̈

“We had a last minute event and she came through! We highly recommend. Great communication quick response, and punctual. We have a Great Dane Mastiff and an 14yo boxer who can be very needy in their own ways. She sent updates of potty breaks, meals and asked all the important questions. We will definitely request her again. Thank you for taking care of our babies!”

“Laurie did a great job with our little Rowdy! It was great to get to take our grandkids to the NASCAR race and not worry about him as he was able to stay in his own house (RV). Thank you Laurie for taking good care of our little guy!”

“Letitia did an excellent job of house sitting with Dash, our English Setter. He can be a handful. We came home to a happy dog and a clean house. Letitia also sent us photos and updates on how Dash was doing.”

“Rachel was absolutely amazing with our 3 month old puppy Benny! She took care of him fully for 2 weeks and made him feel so safe and like we never left! Would definitely book her again!”


About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all kinds for over 20 years, starting when I was young. Friends, family, and neighbors have always trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets like my own. Over the years, I’ve gained experience with puppies, high-energy dogs, and more calm or senior dogs who need extra patience and gentle care. I’m very attentive to each pet’s personality and unique needs—whether that means lots of playtime, cozy cuddles, or sticking to a structured routine. I truly enjoy building a bond with every pet I care for and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and happy in my presence. I know how important it is to trust someone with your fur baby, and I don’t take that lightly. I’ll treat your pet with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. I’m also happy to provide updates, photos, and communication while you’re away so you can feel completely at ease knowing your pet is in good hands. My goal is to create a calm, loving, and reliable environment where your pet feels cared for, secure, and genuinely happy until you return 🤍🐾 I work early mornings, which allows me to have consistent availability in the late afternoons and evenings. I’m available for check-ins, walks, and quality time after my shifts, and I can also accommodate weekend care. I’m reliable, punctual, and committed to making sure your pet’s routine stays consistent. I prioritize safety, comfort, and trust in every home I care for. I always follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walk times, and any specific instructions provided. I make sure pets are secure at all times, whether that means properly leashing during walks or ensuring doors and gates are closed. In your home, I’m respectful, clean, and treat your space with care. I provide regular updates, photos, and communication so you feel at ease while you’re away. My goal is to create a calm, safe, and loving environment where your pet feels comfortable and cared for.
About: I have been around animals of all shapes and sizes my whole life. I am a vet tech within the army so I do have the medical training to care for pets. I have a 6 year old dog that I trained as a puppy so I do have experience with training. Currently I have plenty of time to care for pets and have very few commitments that would require me to not be available during the week. With my vet tech experience I am knowledgeable of pet body language and care. I make it a priority to keep animals happy and healthy according to the specific pets needs.

About: My family and friends always trust me to take care of their fur babies all the time. I have experience with dogs as big as great Danes and as small as tea cups. I’ve dog sit for my cousin every tuesday for 3 years. It was an amazing experience and I love being around different type of dogs and cats. I have a dog and a cat so i’m well experienced with both type of babies I’m a college student so it gives me a lot of freedom and time to go hangout with your fur babies and give them the love they deserve I will never let a fur baby out of my sight even when they are outside i’ll go play or hangout with them and i love going on walks so i don’t mind a long walk at all
“Lynette was wonderful with my fur babies. Because my doggies are older and require extensive care, I am very nervous about leaving them. Lynette made me feel comfortable. She tended to their needs and provided the extra care they needed. She is also extremely reliable, which is hard to find. I appreciate her so much!”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care Krystal provided for my home and my pets. She came over twice before I left town to meet the pets and talk through everything, and she made sure I felt comfortable and safe leaving my pets in her care. It’s always a bit anxiety inducing to leave your babes with someone you don’t know, but Krystal kept me updated with sweet photos and texts about the dogs and cats the entire time. She also left the home in perfectly clean condition. I will absolutely reach out to her in the future whenever I need an overnight sitter.”

“Juri was absolutely wonderful! This was the longest that my fiance and I had left our dog, and were quite anxious about it. But Juri really put our minds at ease. Even being stuck up in the mountains with little to no service or internet, she kept us posted and sent pictures of our boy to remind us how good of care he was in. Even with having a shy dog, Mischa warmed up to her quite quickly, which meant so much to me and said more than words can provide. We will definitely work with Juri again! ❤”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 2,348 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Scotland. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Scotland walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Scotland maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Scotland choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program 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.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Scotland. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
