About: We always had dogs growing up, but most importantly, I had my own little boy, Bob. Very sadly, I lost him a couple of years ago. I had Bob from a tiny puppy and he lived up until 16, so I have the experience of having looked after him at all stages of his life. I am very sensitive to the needs and signs dogs give off and want to always make sure they’re relaxed and as comfortable as possible in their environment. I’ll stick to any instructions given. No problem with administering meds either. (Top tip: liver paste for pills!!) I work from home during the week (10-6pm), although my times are flexible and I can work around the needs of a dog. I don’t work weekends. I have a two bedroom flat, where I lived with my Jack Russell x Toy Poodle. We often had doggy visitors, occasionally for sleepovers and they all seemed to like it! Nice chair by the window for dogs who like a view. Dogs who are allowed on the furniture in their own homes are completely fine to be on the furniture here and make themselves at home. The kitchen floors is vinyl, but I have rugs for older dogs with slippy paws. I’m on the second floor, but fine to carry a dog up/down the stairs if required. Garden out back, beach out front and woodland walks either side!
“Maddy provided an excellent service, she was extremely helpful arranging pickup and drop off of our dog Hamish and my sister's dog allowing us all to enjoy a full day at a family wedding. I would highly recommend Maddy to anyone looking for someone to care for their dog.”
“Another amazing day for Skye, Ching is simply wonderful, she is so wonderful and makes Skye so welcome and loved. Zima and Muffin are just the best and have welcomed my little girl as part of their pack, when I pick her up it's so clear she's had the best time. I cannot recommend any higher.”
About: I have my own dog who is 5 years old, neutered male who is very friendly. I have had dogs in my childhood life and often watch friends dogs & family dogs. I work from home Wed-Fri so will be with the dogs 24/7. I trained my own dog who I have had since he was a puppy of 8 weeks so have experience with pups also. I will be home with the dogs 24/7 as I work from home 3 days a week We have a local park where we can walk the dogs I have a fenced off garden and my own home. My dog who is 5 years old is very friendly and would love a friend to play with Dogs welcome for cuddles on the sofa if they wish
“Minnie had a great day, thank you! She can br timid but she seems to have settled quickly and enjoyed her day. Thank you for taking such good care of her! Would definitely recommend!”
“Jennifer kindly took Gus for a few ours of daycare before his overnight. He had a great time and loves Jennifer’s garden! I received updates and pictures of Gus exploring on his walk in the country which was great. I would definitely recommend.”
“David was great with my dog. Has a great set up for dogs to roam in garden and explore. My dog is a bit timid but didn’t take long for her to warm up to David and his wee dog and came home happy and relaxed. Will be back!”
About: I’ve had both cats and dogs my entire life. I have my 9 year old male husky and my brother has two cocker spaniels & my dad has a collie and two kittens.

About: Growing up on a farm started my lifelong love of animals! I’ve had dogs in the house since I can remember, and all sorts of animals ranging from cows to peacocks in the garden. As an adult, I’ve house-sat, and dog walked for the last 15 years, and I now live with my partner, daughter and dog in Helensburgh before hopefully returning to the countryside one day. My partner and I are available to dog walk, house-sit and (if your furry friend gets on with our own dog and animal loving 3 year old) board your pet in our home. We have a beautiful garden for playing in, and know some great walks both locally and further afield, to give your pup the very best experience while you’re away. I’m looking forward to meeting you and your lovely pets! Please get in touch if you have any questions or think my partner and I might be able to help! X My partner and I are self employed, so we are able to be flexible with your pet’s needs! Please get in touch if you have any specific questions or scheduling needs. We have a fenced garden, a friendly dog, and an animal loving 3 year old to give your pet all the love and attention they could possibly need. If they need a slightly slower pace, my partner or I can also look after your pet in your own home and their own space.
About: I have been a dedicated pet owner my entire life, which he sadly recently passed away, and have a deep love and understanding of animals. My personal experience includes caring for my own beloved dog for 15 years, during which I was responsible for all aspects of his well-being, including daily walks, feeding schedules, medication administration, and regular veterinary visits. This long-term commitment has provided me with practical, hands-on experience in managing a dog's routine and adapting care as they age. I am comfortable with dogs, for I had a Staffie and can provide compassionate, reliable, and attentive care tailored to your pet’s specific needs with lovely walks surrounded my place. Your pet will be well looked after and loved. I am a stay at home person and do things from home apart from on a Thursday I am out 10am-2pm, and on a Friday night I work 6pm-10pm. I am in a smoke free home, one level flat, ground floor with a large back garden that is fenced and many lovely nature walks surrounding me. It's a warm cosy home, and plenty room for cuddles.
“Absolutely incredible, Harlee loves staying over and beth herself is such a kind person! this is the second time harlee has stayed with beth and she is definitely in trust worthy hands, definitely won’t be the last time our dog will see her:)”
“We were up from Bedfordshire for a funeral and didn't want to leave our dog behind. Rebecca met us the day before where we introduced Willow to her and Ossie. She is a lovely person and left us in no doubt that Willow would be well cared for. We had to extend the visit with her and she accommodated this without any extra charge. We don't like being apart from our Willow but should we have to book doggy day care again, it will be with Rebecca. Thanks very much!”
“It was so lovely to know LIndy was being well looked after by Vicki on Easter Day which enabled me to see my family as she is not comfortable in the close up company of my small grandchildren or my son's large and lively young dog. She is a quirky little dog and Vicki gave her 5 star attention to keep her calm!”
“Absolutely fantastic! My new go-to :) my dog completely adores Carly and gets on super well with her dog too. She's very attentive and kind. Can't ask for anything more. My dog whines with excitement to go see her. One very happy client!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Bute on Rover is £23 per day (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 626 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Bute. About 89% of Bute sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you are planning ahead for public holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day cover for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later collection to match your Bute commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust collection and drop-off times when needed.
Your dog’s first day care experience is a big milestone! To help your pup settle in comfortably, we recommend:
- Food and treats portioned for the day, with feeding instructions
- Your dog's lead and collar (ensure tags are up-to-date)
- Any seasonal gear, such as paw-safe wax for winter or a cooling vest for the summer
- Medication, if applicable, with clear dosage notes
- Any special care instructions or training tips to help your sitter provide the most personalised care possible
Tip: Upload this information directly through the Rover app before drop-off. The more context you provide, the better your sitter can tailor the day to your dog.
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.
Sitters in Scotland may request that your dog be up-to-date on core vaccines, such as Canine Distemper, Canine Parvovirus, Canine Adenovirus (also known as DHP or DHPPi), Leptospirosis and Kennel Cough. Cats may be required to have Feline Panleucopenia Virus, Feline Herpesvirus, Feline Calicivirus, and Feline Leukaemia Virus up to date.
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 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 poo breaks occured. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available for dedicated customer support by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalised, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter on Rover must pass an identity verification before they can list their services. An identity verification confirms that the sitter is who they say they are based on their documents.
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 our Trust & Safety page .
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English, French, German, and Spanish from Mon-Sat 9am to 6pm. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a qualified vet or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s booking protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes dedicated customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement programme 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
We require sitters to operate in compliance with applicable local licensing requirements. In England, pet sitters who board dogs or provide doggy day care as a business may need a valid licence under the Animal Welfare (Licensing of Activities Involving Animals) Regulations 2018. When vetting your sitter, ask if they meet local licensing requirements for dog boarding. This confirmation is important for coverage under the Rover Guarantee. Read more about our requirement for following local licensing requirements .
