“We love Roseline and Zeus! Our dog was in such good company with Roseline’s own pup, and was so spoiled by Roseline! We got photo and video updates every day, and appreciated Roseline’s patience with our dog’s quirks and energy.”
“Poh was lovely! I was going out of town last minute and therefore needed a last minute booking and Poh was available with fast response times as well. She has great rates and took amazing care of my dog, she even offers grooming and cut my pups nails over the weekend! She sent daily photos/videos of my pup with others, and took great care of him. Her dogs are also adorable and well behaved. Very kind and professional boarder, we will definitely rebook in the future whenever he requires a home away from home!”
“Chris was great with Moose for in-house stay! He anticipated us at drop-off and pick-up, was open to providing personal reference before booking, followed directions well, and sent several video updates daily. His house has a large fenced yard that Moose enjoyed. Moose was walked several times per day and clearly had a relaxing vacation with Chris. Would book again!”
“Jiao kept in close communication about our dog. She sent several pictures and videos per day. My dog acted happy and playful in her house. She came recommended by a friend and I would definitely book with her again.”
About: Furry companions have been a part of us since childhood. Our first dog has been with us for more than 10 years and we could not imagine a life without him. We will take special care of your companions because we know how important they are to you. Gordon is partially retired and Marianna is on a sabbatical so we have plenty of time to pay special attention to your unique dogs needs. Our dog Crixus and cat Spartacus, both born in 2016, will be gracious hosts to your dog. We have a small fenced back yard where they can spend as much time as they like or they can chill out anywhere in the house. Marianna or Gordon will always be present to ensure that your dog is getting the love and attention they deserve.
“Natalie took excellent care of my dog! She was very communicative during the booking process and provided prompt answers to all of my questions to help put my mind at ease. Natalie’s place was also very spacious and provided a lot of room for my (relatively big) dog to play. She also provided regular updates with photos during my dog’s stay - I would definitely book again.”
“This is the first time we left our Lucy with Sophia. She was extremely good to her and attentive. Lucy went on walks daily. She sent pictures daily. Sophia is very committed to these dogs. She makes sure that they are always wearing their collar for safety. Her communication is wonderful. I will definitely use Sophia again.”
“Alicia and Titus were great. Our flight was delayed coming home, but they were understanding and great about it. My dogs were very happy staying with them. They got to play lots of ball and had plenty of cuddle time, which are their favorite past times! I will definitely use them again.”
“Travis was great with our beagle! Atlas definitely came home spoiled! Travis sent pics and videos to show us how things were going. He was very responsive and the whole process was incredibly easy!”
“Pepito had the best care with Robin. Our little pooch actually socialized with the other dogs and loved his walks. An absolute miracle and he was clearly having fun and was comfortable from the cute pictures we received and he looked great when we picked him up. Thank you so much”
“Lina was wonderful. Our Maggie is and older nervous dog and she thrived during her stay there. We received daily photos and updates. I felt she was truly cared for and taken care of. We would certainly book again”
“Romy and her family were so caring and welcomed our cat so warmly in their home. She had great communication from the very start and wanted to know as much as possible to make sure our cat would be happy and healthy during her stay. She sent updates and photos everyday, and our cat seemed right at home and getting lots of attention, just as she likes. We would love to have our cat stay with Romy again.”
“Masha and her family were awesome! We have a dog that is reactive to other dogs and requires medication. We really appreciate the care and attention they gave our dog. We got updates and pictures letting us know all is well with him and that was very reassuring. We would definitely love to leave him with Masha and her family again.”
“Meri is absolutely wonderful! She responds very quickly, is reliable, and loves dogs. My dog is very shy with most people, but she gets so excited every time she sees Meri, which says everything. It's such a relief knowing my dog is happy, comfortable, and so well cared for.”
“Nadia did a great job watching Oreo at her home. She communicated with me and sent pictures of Oreo . I felt assured he was in good hands and would definitely book again in the future!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Scotland
We are super grateful for Rachel for hosting our senior sweetheart! She administered meds and helped her deal with getting adjusted to a new place. Ultra responsive and great communication throughout. Our dog is happy, healthy, and sleeping peacefully after an awesome 5-star stay!
Karen is a fabulous dog sitter. Our labradoodle had his first stay for five nights with Karen and her family and he did so well! Karen gave lots of walk, play time in the fenced yard and he just seemed to be very happy being in a comfortable, loving home environment. She sent great photos and communicated just the right amount! We will absolutely be rebooking and we are so glad to have found Karen.
We couldn’t be happier with the care Lucky and Bella received! 🐾❤️ Mahamat and family were looked after with so much kindness, patience, and genuine affection, and it gave us great peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands while we were away. It was clear that Lucky and Bella felt comfortable, safe, and very well cared for. We came home to two happy and relaxed dogs, which says everything! We’re extremely grateful and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and reliable to look after their pets. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of our two little babies.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Scotland is $73 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $40 and $109 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 7,997 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Scotland. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Scotland can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Scotland home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Scotland.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
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
- 92% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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.
You and your Scotland sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in MD ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
Adding another pup to the pack? Most sitters and walkers offer a reduced rate for additional dogs. You’ll find these exact rates listed under the "Services" tab on any sitter's profile. Since every dog is unique, final pricing may vary depending on the level of care required.
