“It is pleasure working with Lingshan. She is punctual, responds promptly, keeps me updated of the visits and is very reliable. I also appreciated extra time that she spent with my Golden. She is of great help when I am away at work.”
“Nicole always does such a wonderful job caring for our dog. I especially like her comments to us on Rover that truly shows she understands the personality of our stubborn, quirky yet lovable dog. It makes me feel secure knowing Nicole is looking after her while we travel.”
“Xin is amazing, she bonded with our cat immediately and took great care of her. She has a special way of connecting with pets. We’ll be using her moving forward. Totally recommend!”
“Courtney and Lily were wonderful hosts for Tuley and were even able to accommodate our last minute request. I can’t say enough great things about Courtney - she’s kind, caring and treats my dog as if she were her own. She’s also flexible so pick up and drop offs are super easy. I can’t recommend her enough. And I say that as someone with a dog that can be reserved around new people and dogs. While Tuley has met Courtney before and absolutely loves her, this was her first time meeting Lily. Tuley was a bit unsure of Lily’s puppy energy at first, but Tuley warmed up to Lily pretty quickly. I know they had a blast at the dog park and playing all weekend long, because Tuley fell asleep as soon as we got home. I’ll definitely be sending Tuley to Courtney’s next time we travel.”
“Can’t describe how comforting it is to have Melissa in the neighborhood. We needed her twice today due to work circumstances, and we were in the best hands. We are so grateful for Melissa!”
“Julianna was great with Amber and very communicative! She updated me daily and made sure to give her lots of treats and playtime. This was my first time using Rover, and I'm so glad we worked with her!”
About: I've been caring for animals for most of my life. I grew up with dogs and have experience with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. In addition to owning dogs, I've also fostered cats, which has given me experience helping animals adjust to new environments and providing patient, attentive care. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, administering basic care, or simply providing companionship, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I work with each client’s schedule to make sure their pet’s routine stays as normal as possible. I’m flexible, reliable, and happy to adapt my schedule to meet your pet’s individual needs and provide them with the care and attention they deserve. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make their comfort, safety, and routine my top priorities. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual needs, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication instructions (if provided), and any special preferences. I also make sure they receive plenty of affection, companionship, and positive attention so they feel relaxed and cared for while their owner is away. I treat every pet and home with the same respect and care I would give my own.
“Incredibly kind, compassionate and professional pet sitter. Natalie cared for our five kitty crew while away and not only provided them each with great care and attention, but she was always wonderfully communicative, followed instructions exactly and wanted to be sure everything was handled as we'd hope. She even cleaned up the extra messes our elderly cat made. I cannot recommend her enough.”
“Highly recommend for any of your pets!! We had Christine drop in for house visitors for our dog and we will def. reach out again! Took excellent care and provided updates everyday; excellent communication!”
“Teffni did a wonderful job looking after my fur baby Ollie, daily updates shared happy playtime & loving scratches during her visits. She even indulged him with his balcony time (mid winter in DC) and his secret love of drinking from the bathroom sink ! My apartment was well looked after and pet items kept neat and well stocked for his needs. Thank you so much for loving him in my absence!”
“Alice was so wonderful and gave me lots of updates and pictures of my cat and let me know how he was behaving, eating, etc. Her level of communication was exactly what I was hoping for since I had just moved & this was the 1st time I had been gone for a few days since the move. I really appreciated her reassurance that he was fine.”
“Francis took great care of our 2 girls (cats)!! She provided us updates daily including pictures and videos which was much appreciated. We will definitely be booking her next time we’re out of town.”
About: I've cared for three pets since 2018, all hyper Boston Terriers, and I understand dogs with temperament and behavior issues. I love all animals (but dogs are my favorite). Current and future availability is extensive. I'm taking a year off from school and working to earn money. I have no plans to travel and will be available 7 days a week. I regularly walk, feed and play with my Boston Terrier. And, of course, his safety is the upmost importance to me. He's my companion and greatest friend.
“Christopher was great at handling our dog-reactive GSD. She listened to Christopher and enjoyed her walks with him. We are very happy with Christopher’s punctuality and updates on expected arrival time. Thanks for your help with Parks!”
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Scotland is $20
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Scotland
So impressed! I highly recommend Evelyn and Rover. This was my first time using Rover and I was quite cautious. Evelyn allayed all concerns. She came to meet the cats a couple days before I left and they both loved her. She asked poignant questions and made sure she was clear on all my requests. Every day I got pictures of them playing and was able to see when she checked in and when she checked out. She was super responsive before leaving and during my trip. While I was gone there was a water outage in my building that she handled beautifully (including bringing bottled water for the cats.). A+ to Evelyn! I highly recommend her and will be asking for her on future trips. So pleased with the whole Rover experience.
We had a wonderful experience with Yuandi. She was communicative, attentive, and clearly very experienced with cats. From the photos and videos she shared, I could tell that my cat felt completely comfortable with her, which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away. I’ll definitely be booking with Yuandi again in the future and would highly recommend her to other cat owners.
Alice was so wonderful and gave me lots of updates and pictures of my cat and let me know how he was behaving, eating, etc. Her level of communication was exactly what I was hoping for since I had just moved & this was the 1st time I had been gone for a few days since the move. I really appreciated her reassurance that he was fine.
Judson is the best catsitter we’ve had. He’s attentive, caring, and consistent. He gets on the floor with the cats and interacts with them and plays with their toys. Our cats are a bit spastic and weird about strangers but they warmed up to Judson quickly which is always a great sign. He sent us multiple pictures every day of the cats along with a note about how they were doing. Choosing a random person on an app is nerve wracking and stressful because you’re putting all your trust in them to not only take care of your animals but also be in your home. Judson is trustworthy and respectful, but he also has a great sense of humor! I would recommend him again and again.
Alisyah is really great at communicating key pick up and giving detailed updates every day! I always received multiple photos of my cats and images to confirm feeding etc. My cats liked her almost immediately and were very well taken care of. I didn’t worry about them the whole trip!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Scotland on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 17,477 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Scotland. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Scotland stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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.
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
- 95% 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.
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.
