“Aaliyah is the best and very easy to get along with! She stayed the night with my pup for two nights. She was extremely responsive and sent me regular pictures + updates. She was SO flexible with me pushing the dog sitting back one day and then later asking to extend it another day. She spent a ton of time at the house with Bowie and was intentional about giving him enrichment and playtime. She left the key exactly where I asked her to and locked all of my doors. She was respectful of our home and left it exactly how it was before she got here. She is my new go to pet sitter!”

“Shelby did a great job looking after our dog, Atticus . She sent frequent messages and pictures about how he was doing , ( which we loved) and responded promptly if we contacted her . Atticus is very scared of storms and it was stormy while we were gone . Shelby was calm, patient and helpful about helping him feel as comfortable as possible during these times . When we arrived home Atticus was happy and the house looked great , We will definitely use Shelby again , she was wonderful.”

“Andrew did an incredible job taking care of our two dogs while we were away for a long weekend. He was attentive & responsive throughout our trip & left our house absolutely spotless. We have already booked him again for our next weekend away!”

“This was my first experience booking with rover, and it was a great experience! Emily was amazing!! She did overnights in my home for 23 days! She took great care of my cats and bird. From the first meet and greet, my cats gravitated towards her. The cats are younger, less than a year old, and this is the first time I was going to be away from them for an extended period of time. Emily definitely put my mind at ease. She was very pleasant and professional. She truly enjoys being around animals and mine truly enjoyed her. She communicated with me frequently and sent pictures & videos of them often. They were all so happy and well taken care of. She even befriended my temperamental, old, little parrot and he was sitting on her shoulder by the end of her stay. I highly recommend her for any of your pet sitting needs. I already have her booked for a future stay!”


About: I am observant and attentive to animal needs. I’ve worked as a barn hand for 40 horses, volunteered with wildlife rescue, and completed pet & equine first aid training. Whether your pet needs exercise, companionship, or extra patience, I’ll provide reliable, loving care and plenty of attention. I’ve recently relocated to Tallahassee from Oregon. I plan to attend school part-time in the fall 2026. I’m not seeking other employment at this time. My willingness & availability are open and my car is dependable! I’m willing to check in on your pet or stay the night. Either way I can be trusted to treat your home respectfully and follow routine care for your pet.
“I have so many great things to say about Analia and I probably won’t fit them all in this review, but I’m going to try. My partner and I were going on a cross country road trip for two weeks and found ourselves in need of a sitter for our two dogs the day we were supposed to leave for our trip. Before we even met, Analia left an incredible impression. She was compassionate, understanding, and flexible. She agreed to watch our dogs and stop by less than 12 hours before we had to leave. Our dogs are still young and in training, and for some people they can be a bit overwhelming. Analia was not phased at all by this, and from our first interactions, I could tell she was going to give just as much love and attention as we would. She had already looked over our care instructions and remembered facts about them, but she really took it a step further by asking how she could continue their training (something that means a lot to us, but we don’t always expect of others because it can be challenging; we were floored by her thoughtfulness and generosity). We left town feeling so secure having Analia taking care of our dogs. Analia continued to exceed expectations throughout our trip. She very intentionally sent updates, photos, and videos nearly every day, was super flexible when we ran out of food because our shipment didn’t come in, and went out of her way to bring our dogs new toys. When our arrival back home was delayed, Analia was incredibly accommodating and watched the dogs for a couple extra days despite it being last minute and her already having other plans. I feel so lucky to have been connected with Analia, not only because she was a great sitter for our dogs, but because she is such a kind and compassionate person, and was someone I thoroughly enjoyed talking to throughout our trip. She truly is a gem, and someone we will continue to trust our dogs with. If you take anything away from this review, it is that you should end your search here and choose Analia, because you will not regret it.”

About: I have taken care of my own 2 cats for 14 years. I have experience with grooming, nail care, feeding, and litter box care. I have experience in care for cats rangeing from kittens to senior cats. I also have experience with dogs. Living with 3 in the past 15 years. Sizes ranging from medium to large breed. I have also cared for dogs ranging from micro to small. I have experience with toilet training, grooming, and dog walking. I currently work part time. I have more availability at night and late afternoon. However, I am able to move my schedules around if given enough notice, 1 to 2 weeks in advance. I have a pet gate in my home. I also have a fenced in yard with a doggy door. My pets enjoy coming in and out to enjoy the sun. All of my pets are fed a healthy and weight control diet.
About: I work full time as a lead emergency veterinary technician. Love spending time with all animals from puppies, seniors all the way to being there for end of life care. Available for in home boardings, mine or yours. Cuddle and play time are important so I make sure I spend as much time with your baby so they are stress feee and comfortable. I have a fenced in yard. All animals allowed on the furniture. I want it to feel like they are home when they are here.

About: I love all animals and have experience with animals with minor medical needs (ie. pills, shots, creams, etc). I have 2 dogs and am a 4x foster with LCHS with three of them being medical foster puppies. I also have 6 cats who have all come from different situations and back rounds. I excel at following your pets schedule and needs. I commonly house sit for a 100+ lb dog and am more than willing to watch your dog at my home as long as they are good with other dogs and cats. I work a full time job M-F but am able to do lunchtime potty breaks. If you are interested in booking over weekdays it would be best that your fur baby can be alone for 4 hour increments. If your pet is people/pet friendly and you approve I am able to bring dogs to my office space. We do not have a fenced yard but live in a very walkable area. Our dogs are crate trained and we have no problem crating your fur baby or leaving them out per your preference.
“Reliable and was very attentive to my dog. I like everyone else have concerns about being away from our fur babies. Bucky was treated with a lot of love without any stress from me being away. My house was the same as I had left it clean and orderly. I would recommend Sarah to anyone.”

About: I have been around animals my whole life. I currently own 3 large pit-bulls. I take good care of them which includes giving baths, taking them on walks, playing with them, cuddling, and taking them on adventures🩷 I have a 9-5 job, but will have time both before and after to take care of your dog. My priority is you dog. I am available for doggy daycare over the weekends☺️ I have a 0.3 Acres fenced in backyard and lots of toys and activity. I also have 3 fur babies that are super friendly and love playing with other dogs. Basically making it a "homemade" dog park. But my biggest priority is to make sure your dog is getting the attention it needs and the safety. All the dogs will be introduced to make sure everything is good. In addition, my backyard can be separated into two part for safety.

“Louisa did an amazing job! I have a kitty with special care/feeding instructions that require attention to detail that she followed perfectly. She also took great care of my home and provided updates on everything as I away. I could tell she genuinely cares about animals just from our initial meet & greet too. I always get so nervous leaving my cat when I go on trips but Louisa absolutely earned my trust and I will be booking with her again in the future for sure as long as she’s still pet sitting. Thank you so much again :)”

About: I taken care of animals all my life. Fishes, guinea pigs,hamsters, bunnies, dogs, and cats! I even volunteered at an animal shelter for a summer and it was such a great experience!! I will treat your baby like it’s my own💕 Majority of my day ends around 3:30 due to classes but other times it ends before that in the afternoon. I am free on the weekends unless I am traveling out of town! I live in a first floor apartment in a gated community. All dogs are safe to walk around the complex as every dog is required to be leashed. I also have a lock to my room incase I do any animal sitting, so no randoms can come into my room nor apartment.
“Amy was a great help in watching our high energy, rambunctious puppy! She communicated well and was so kind and understanding with all that comes with a young puppy and we appreciate her so much! I would absolutely recommend booking with Amy to anyone :) thank you Amy!”

About: I’ve been around dogs and cats all my life. In the past couple of years, I even started taking care of horses! I’m open to learn anything about pet sitting and see this as a great way to help out those in my community. I’m a current graduate student in class most of the day. After 5 pm might work best and weekends are usually open. I’m open to work around schedule if necessary. I would be honored to pet sit in your home honor any wishes to maintain boundaries and respect of your private space. Please let me know in advance of any specific needs.

“Kayla was absolutely amazing! She took such wonderful care of my two cats, sent me adorable pictures and videos while I was away, and made me feel completely at ease. She’s dependable, kind, and treated my boys like her own. I came home to happy, well-fed cats and everything perfectly in order. I truly appreciate her reliability and the love she shows for animals. I’ll definitely be booking her again — highly recommend Kayla to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter! ❤️🐾”

“As this was only the second time leaving my dog with someone else, I was understandably anxious. However, Deborah's attentiveness to my dog's needs made all the difference. She kept me updated on how my dog was adjusting, sharing uodates and photos. The fact that Deborah even offered to pick up and drop off my dog at my house was above and beyond what I expected. Her dedication and kindness truly made this experience fantastic. I can't recommend her enough!”

“We absolutely loved Carolina! She was communicative, sent lots of photos and updates, and took wonderful care of our two cats and our home. She even went above and beyond by taking care of the litter boxes, even though we told her she didn’t need to. She’s incredibly trustworthy, and we had complete peace of mind while we were away. We can’t wait to book with her again!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of August 2026, there are 334 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:
- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 100% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
