“Emily did an excellent job caring for Bambino. She kept us informed throughout the day with updates and photos, which gave us great peace of mind. She was attentive, professional, and clearly cared about his well-being. We especially appreciated the detailed progress report she provided at the end of the visit. We would gladly trust her with Bambino again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. Excellent job! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 14 years and have experience with many different breeds, mostly small to medium-sized dogs. I understand that every pet has its own personality and routine, so I always provide patient, loving, and reliable care. Whether it’s playtime, walks, feeding, or simply keeping them company, I make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. Pet care is part of my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule and make time for walks, feeding, playtime, and lots of love and attention every day. I provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment for every pet in my care. I follow each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication (if needed), and lots of love and attention. I make sure they always have fresh water, a clean space, and plenty of exercise and affection. I treat every pet like a member of my own family.
About: I’ve always had a natural love for dogs and enjoy being active, patient, and dependable. What sets me apart is that I treat every dog with genuine care, attention, and respect. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, or just keeping them company, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine because I am free Tuesday through Friday and can dedicate that time to walks, visits, and giving pets my full attention. I enjoy staying active, so dog walking fits naturally into my schedule. I care for pets in a safe, calm, and respectful way whether I am in my home or a client’s home. I follow the owner’s instructions closely, keep pets on their normal routine, and make sure they have fresh water, attention, exercise, and a comfortable environment. For walks, I focus on safety, patience, and making sure each dog gets the care and activity they need.
“Juri was the best and I would absolutely recommend her services! She took great care of my two pups, and worked well with their high-energy personalities! She is attentive, kind, and made sure to keep me updated with pictures of their walks and updates. Thank you, Juri!! 🐾”


About: Having a special relationship with your pet is my number one goal. I want them to feel comfortable and relaxed and excited to see me for their walk. My son is currently attending college so my days are open to spend quality time with your sweet pet. My schedule is open to accommodate. Safety above all is my first priority, making sure that they are on their leashes before we even walk out of the house. Take poop bags.

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 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.

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.

“Aileen was so good with my dogs. She sent lots of update photos and kept in touch. My dogs are on the shy side but they warmed up to her very fast. She is so sweet and my dogs loved her will definitely be booking whenever they need a sitter!”

“Lynette is everything you look for in a petsitter. During the initial visit, she's very transparent about her schedule which removes any uncertainty about when she won't be with the dogs. She is very kind and let the dogs stay on the bed with her. She's very responsive with her texts and we found our house exactly the same way we left it. We are also very happy that she was willing to water our plants for us. Above all, she is reliable and trustworthy. We would use her again.”

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: I’ve been taking care of dogs my whole life. I can help your puppy be the best version of themselves; I can take great care of your senior dog too. I’m a pro At popping pills in their mouth or giving supplements to any kind of oral medication. I’m currently a stay at home dog auntie so if you need me I’ll be there. Me and Louise go for coffee and other short walks throughout the day, so it will be nice to have someone to take along for the ride or for Louise to play with. I have a fenced yard and two extra crates under our covered patio so there’s that. I can also run your fur child for a coffee/potty break if that’s what they need. Whatever they or you need I’m there. Currently I’m not working so I provide a constant care environment for your pets. It is always a pleasure for us (Louise and I) to have a new pup over. I have a fully fenced backyard and I love to have your pups over. I hang out under the covered patio all day with them. That’s what my house is like. Especially because we have an unfenced pool and it’s only happened once but it did happen; one pup fell in and had to be rescued, I jumped in and got him out. No big deal.

About: I prioritize clear, timely communication with owners and provide honest updates, photos, and notes after each visit. I have taken care of several different pets such as cats and dogs. I will always ensure the best care for the pets under my supervision. I can also keep up with high energy pets, but also provide calm energy for the pets who like to just hang around. I am currently working part time and will be attending medical school starting in the fall. My weekends are almost always free and can frequently provide overnight care during the week. I will ensure to provide clear and frequent communication with host when taking care of your pets in your home or when visiting. Trust is a priority to me when taking care of your pets so I will ensure it is earned from both your pets and from yourself.
About: I am a reliable and attentive animal lover who understands that pets are family (I grew up with dogs, cats, and a bird and tortoise!). Whether it’s long walks, playtime, cuddles, or sticking to a routine, I’ll treat your pet like my own. I’m currently a student at Claremont Grad University where I’m getting my teaching credential. My classes are online so I have flexible evenings. My weekends are generally available as well. I am very attentive of the animals in my care. I always strive to ensure they feel comfortable and happy while their parents are away!

FAQs for House Sitting - Scotland
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 2,423 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.
