About: I have 9 years of experience of having my own two cockapoo dogs,looking after friends and family 's dogs and loved every minute. I have a lot of spare time and have a lot of love and attention to give to dogs. I especially enjoy being outside going for lovely walks on the beaches here with my own 2 dogs and looking forward to sharing these with another furry friend. I have a lot of freedom every day for dog walks and go walking with my two dogs every day who would love extra company. I drive which means we can go to the lovely 5 sandy beaches on the Isle of Bute for walks. We live near woods too which is heaven to explore. I will also provide updates and photos for you.
About: I absolutely love the company of animals and genuinely enjoy having dogs as part of my home and daily life. Since starting dog sitting, I’ve had the pleasure of caring for dogs of all different ages, personalities, routines and needs including elderly dogs who need a little extra comfort and care. I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and caring for animals has always come very naturally to me. I previously had my own beloved cat, Pablo, who taught me so much about companionship, patience and the unique personalities animals have. I also have experience as an equine therapy co-facilitator, supporting therapeutic work involving horses and people. This gave me a strong understanding of animal behaviour, emotional attunement and the importance of creating calm, safe environments qualities I bring into caring for every dog who stays with me. Over time, I’ve become very comfortable adapting to different dogs and their individual routines. Whether your dog needs regular medication, extra rest, gentle walks, a particular feeding routine, lots of play and stimulation, or simply plenty of company and reassurance, I take the time to understand what helps them feel happiest and most settled. My aim is for your dog to feel like they’re having a little holiday of their own while you’re away with plenty of love, attention, companionship and time to relax. I’m naturally calm, patient and attentive, but I also love getting out for walks, playing and enjoying the outdoors with the dogs in my care. I have a back garden where dogs can relax and play, and I’m close to both the beach and forest walks, giving us lots of opportunities for outdoor time and exploration. Equally, if your dog is happier curled up on the sofa, having a quiet day or taking things at their own pace, that’s absolutely fine too. I understand how difficult it can be to leave your dog with someone else, so I’m happy to send regular photos and videos throughout their stay so you can see how they’re getting on. Meet & greet: Before confirming a booking, I ask to arrange a meet and greet at my home. This gives your dog a chance to explore the environment and for us all to meet properly, talk through their routine and make sure we’re a good fit. I think this is really important for helping dogs feel comfortable and settled from the moment they arrive. I work in an office on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, but I make sure dogs staying with me have walks and attention before and after work, as well as a secure, comfortable home to return to. I work in an office Tuesday-Wednesday so will do walks before & after work. I work from home on Mondays, Thursdays and Fridays with lots of flexibility throughout the day for walks, playtime and cuddles. I’m also available over the weekends for boarding. I understand that every dog has different needs, routines and comfort levels, so I take time to help them settle in gently and feel safe in my home. I’m calm, patient and attentive, and I always prioritise your dog’s wellbeing and emotional comfort. I live close to the beach and forest walks, providing plenty of opportunities for safe, enriching walks in nature. I’m also happy to follow your dog’s usual routines, feeding schedules and any special care instructions to help them feel as settled as possible whilst you’re away

Yes. There are up to 1,296 pet sitters offering care in and around Bute. To find a sitter who is available during your working hours, enter your address, select the days and time slots when you need care, and review matching local profiles.
Depending on the sitter’s schedule, you may be able to arrange a one-off visit or recurring care on selected days of the week. Confirm the visit timing and frequency before booking, as availability and service areas vary by sitter.
You can book overnight boarding with a local sitter on Rover, where your pet stays in the sitter’s home while you're away. If your pet is more comfortable staying at home, house sitting or scheduled drop-in visits might be a better fit.
Consider how much company and supervision your pet needs, how they respond to unfamiliar homes, and how long you'll be away. Review each sitter’s profile and arrange a Meet & Greet before booking.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a key safe. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalised codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in a flat, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or lift etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter must complete an identity verification process before listing their services on Rover. This process checks that the sitter’s identity matches their provided documents.
Identity verification doesn't assess a sitter’s experience or suitability for your pet. To see if a sitter is the right fit, you can review each sitter's profile for ratings, verified reviews, repeat pet owner information and care style. We also recommend arranging a Meet & Greet to discuss your pet’s needs and make sure the sitter is the right fit before booking.

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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who've never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover, but you're welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you've previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you're booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you'll have a chance to go 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. A Meet & Greet is a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three- or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-in visits, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12.00 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our booking protection will kick in. This means you'll get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
