Tari was an outstanding sitter for my cat and dog. Doris (dog) is a rescue who can be unsure when meeting new people. Tari gave Doris the time and love that she needs. Tari sent pictures and messages on updates on how the two of them are doing. We were able to relax and enjoy our trip knowing our beloved pets were in safe hands. Both got lots of love and attention. Can’t recommend highly enough.

I couldn’t have been happier with Luka’s overnight stay. Alfie is a reactive dog who doesn’t usually cope well with change, but he settled in beautifully. Luka kept us updated throughout, which gave us real peace of mind. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Luka and we’re already looking forward to having him look after Alfie again!

Rhiannon was great when she came to dog-sit for us one evening. She was very punctual, a good communicator and clearly loves dogs. Would definitely ask her to help out again.

About: I have previous experience dog walking and pet sitting through BorrowMyDoggy app, as well as volunteering for Paws of Kalymnos in Greece, where I helped care for rescue dogs by feeding, cleaning and playing with them. Although I would love to have pets of my own, my partner and I travel regularly, so pet sitting has become a wonderful way for me to spend time with animals, while helping owners feels confident that their pets are receiving excellent care. I work remotely full-time, which means I’m at home throughout the day and can provide plenty of companionship, supervision and attention. All I need to work is an internet connection and a space for my laptop, and I rarely have more than 1 meeting a day. I also have a car for getting around and emergencies. Pets in my care are never left alone for extended periods, and I can easily adapt to their usual routines, whether that means regular walks, play sessions, medical needs, or simply having a calm and reassuring presence nearby. My partner and I live in a 2 story semi- detached house in a quiet cul-de-sac in Dundee. We have a secure fully fenced garden with a lawn behind the house. We are fortunate to have football fields and beautiful walking routes nearby- such as the Dighty Burn, providing plenty of opportunities for exercise and enrichment. We also own a camper van and love to travel further afield with it at the weekends, and get out on bigger walks, rides and hikes further north.

About: I've grown up with dogs and have a real love for them. I currently live in a flat, so any dog staying with me would need to be fully toilet trained. I can offer plenty of long and frequent walks, and your dog would also need to be dog-friendly, as I have two rescue dogs at home. As a university student, I have a consistent routine that allows me to give dogs plenty of time and attention throughout the day. I live alone with my own rescue dog in a flat, and we’re lucky to have a bit of green across the road for outdoor time. My dog is well-socialised, any visiting dog would need to be dog-friendly. I also take regular, long walks throughout the week to keep dogs active and happy. Your dog will be safe, cared for, and treated like my own. I live in a second-floor flat with a secure garden, just a short walk from Baxter Park — perfect for regular walks and outdoor play. I make sure dogs feel safe and settled in my home, giving them space to relax as well as plenty of attention. I’m happy to take them out for toilet breaks every couple of hours or as needed, and I always follow their usual routines to help them feel comfortable and at ease.

About: I have been taking care of dogs of my own or for neighbours and friends since a young age, which developed into a small clientele of dogs whom I would regularly care for throughout my university studies. I have experience caring for puppies (and can confidently assist or continue puppy training) all the way to elderly dogs and am happy administering medication (non-injection). I like to chat with the owners before taking on a pet sitting job to ensure I know exactly what kind of care you expect from me and, more importantly, how I can make the experience as enjoyable as possible for your furry friend. I am currently a PhD student at the University of Dundee so have full autonomy over my schedule and can be at home or take time off during weekday day times. I have availability over the weekends and evenings and can arrange my work to fit around longer sits if need be. I have an enclosed garden which will be useable by your pet only. I live very close to big open spaces so can take them for any length or duration of exercise they might require. I tend to ask owners the specifics of how they prefer me to care for their pet. For example, any feeding/toilet/sleeping schedules, sleeping arrangements and whether or not they should be allowed on furniture/on beds etc. In my opinion the environment I can provide for your pet is largely up to you.

Mariah was a great dog-sitter for our dog Mabel: she was punctual, reliable, left our home in immaculate conditions, and kept us constantly updated on what Mabel was doing. A dog-owner herself, she bonded with Mabel instantly. We had the clear impression of being in safe hands all the time.

About: Hi there! I’m someone who absolutely loves spending time with dogs, and I know first-hand how wonderful every dog can be – including rescues. Two years ago we welcomed our own rescue girl Jessie into our home; she’s grown into such a confident, friendly and loving companion, and she’s always happy to make new four-legged friends! I’ve cared for lots of dogs belonging to friends and family over the years, so I’m comfortable with all sorts of personalities, ages and needs. I also hold a canine first aid certificate, so you can relax knowing your dog is in safe, capable hands. We are so lucky to live right next to a large park with beautiful woodlands – perfect long walks, sniffing trails and plenty of safe space to explore and play. Whether your dog loves gentle strolls, energetic adventures, or just quiet company, I’ll tailor every moment to suit them perfectly. I treat every dog in my care like my own – with patience, kindness and all the love they deserve. I’m fully available and dedicated to making dog care my main job, so I have plenty of flexible time for walks, visits, or sitting any day of the week. I can accommodate early mornings, late afternoons, weekends, and longer stays to suit your plans perfectly. I offer house sitting in your dog’s own home, so they stay comfortable and calm in familiar surroundings. I hold a canine first aid certificate, I’m experienced with my own rescue dog Jessie, and I always follow your exact routine, feeding, and care instructions closely. I’ll keep your home secure and send regular updates so you can relax completely.

About: I've interacted with dogs all my life. I have always had a special connection with dogs. I have experience with dogs from weeks old all the way to the ripe old age of 16 years old. I have trained rescue dogs with aggression issues, including older dogs like Charlie, my departed Collie who I rescued when he was 10 years old. He went from aggressive on the lead to walking safely off the lead within 6 months. My primary occupation is as a live at home carer and I am.also a freelance journalist. I am incredibly flexible and have plenty free time. I live in the perfect place for dogs. I have a fenced garden and live 500 feet from Broughty Ferry's stunning waterfront which offers a variety of stunning walks to take pooch's on.

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs for years and genuinely love caring for them. I cared for my Golden Labrador Bonnie for 10 wonderful years, giving me plenty of hands on experience with daily walks, feeding, playing , and lots of love and attention. I also regularly dog sit for family members, so I am confident in caring for dogs with different personalities and routines. I understand how important it is for owners to know their pets are safe, happy, and well cared for, and I’ll always treat your dog as if they were my own. Monday - anytime that suits you! Tuesday- anytime that suits you! Wednesday- anytime that suits you! Thursday- anytime that suits you! Friday- 08:00-14:00 Saturday- 16:00-19:00 Sunday - 08:00-12:00 Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priority. I take the time to get to know each pet’s routine, personality, and any specific needs so they feel as relaxed and as comfortable as possible. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or taking them out for walks, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, care and most importantly exercise. I always follow owners’ instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medication (if required), and any training or house rules. I will keep you updated with regular messages and photos, so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe and well looked after from the start. I unfortunately do not allow other dogs to stay with me but please feel free to book one of my other services!

About: I have taken care of my friend's Labrador cross rescue here and there for two years now. my responsibilities included dog walking, feeding, toilet runs, giving her medication, doing runs in the car, and showering her with love and attention. I am currently a full-time nursing student at UoD and have classes throughout the week but I am usually free Thursday to Monday. If I do have to go to a lecture it is usually no more than two hours. In my home with the cats we feed the cats 3 times a day and get let in for attention usually after breakfast and stay in the house (they are outside cats) until their next meal and then go out to eat in the garage while we eat in the house and when everyone is done they are let back in. When petsitting for my friend, we would usually go for 1-2 walks a day and spend most of our time playing in the back garden or driving around with her head out the window. At night we would sit and cuddle together while watching TV and then she would sleep in her bed overnight.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for cats, dogs, and small pets. I currently have a cat of my own and grew up with both Greyhounds and a Labrador, giving me experience with dogs of different sizes, energy levels, and personalities. I’ve also previously owned cats, dogs, and rodents, so I’m comfortable caring for a variety of pets. Growing up, I often accompanied my mum on her dog walks and had the opportunity to meet and interact with many different breeds and temperaments. This helped me become confident around dogs with a wide range of personalities, from energetic and playful to shy and relaxed. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I’ll always treat them as if they were my own. I’m reliable, caring, and committed to making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well looked after while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! As I work full-time during the week, my usual availability for pet care is from 6pm onwards on weekdays, with full availability on weekends. I’m also generally available for drop-in visits between 12–2pm on Mondays and Fridays. I can sometimes be flexible with earlier morning visits depending on location and my work schedule, so feel free to message if you’re looking for something slightly outside these times — I’ll always do my best to accommodate where I can. This makes me a great option for evening visits, feeding, walks, companionship, and weekend pet care. I’m also available for overnight stays on Friday and Saturday nights, helping your pets stay comfortable in their familiar environment while you’re away. I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone you trust, and I’ll always care for them as if they were my own. I’ll follow their usual routine, whether that’s feeding times, walks, playtime, medication, or just giving them the attention and company they’re used to. I have a cat of my own and live in a small one-bedroom flat, so I’m currently unable to offer boarding in my home. Because of this, I provide care in your pet’s home instead, where they can stay in a familiar environment and stick to their normal routine. I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away, and I’ll be happy to send updates and photos for extra peace of mind. I understand that every pet is different, so I’ll take the time to get to know their personality and needs to make the experience as stress-free as possible for both of you.

About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was a little girl. We have always had dogs in my family so I understand that they are members of the family. I know what it means to leave your pet in the care of someone else so I will always do it with all the care and love that they need, keeping you up to date with everything that happens. I have an 8-year-old dog named Bono with whom we have lived in Chile, France, and now Scotland (and we have also traveled to many countries together). I recently moved to Dundee and I have a lot of availability to take care of pets and walk dogs. I’m passionate about animals and have a dog of my own, so I understand how important it is to make sure they get plenty of love, attention, and exercise. I’m available throughout the week to walk dogs, pet-sit, and offer any other care your pet needs. Whether it's a long walk or just some quality time at home, I’m here to help! I also offer weekend availability for more flexible scheduling. I can take your dog on walks multiple times a day. I believe that regular exercise is important for every dog, and I’ll make sure your pet gets plenty of outdoor time and attention. Inside my home, I make sure your dog feels safe, calm, and in a friendly environment. If your pet has any special needs, such as taking medication, I’m more than happy to follow any specific instructions to ensure their well-being.

He looked after Abby like she was his own and understood exactly what she need. We have come home to a very happy tired girl. Would 100% book again.

Mainly weekends, but feel free to contact me during the week too :) Pets sitting will only be on weekends unless my uni has holidays. I am very careful when caring for pets and will be respectful of any rules you have in regards to their care or your home.

About: I've have been the carer for one of my previous flatmates two kittens for up to two weeks at a time, and cared for my grandparents dogs on and off growing up. I have family who have pets and often ask for their advice. I'm currently studying full-time, I can be available for your pet in the morning (early morning before 8.30am) & evenings after 5.30pm. I rely on public transport I like to create a calm, comfortable environment, with regular updates & communication on how your pets are doing. As I am not a pet owner myself, I make the effort to research the best way to care for your animal depending on breed and type of pet to ensure they have the best experience whilst you are away, and that you have peace of mind knowing your pet is in safe hands.

About: I've been enjoying using another app for house sitting pets in the owners home, have looked after 35 pets so far mostly dogs and really enjoy getting to know each beautiful soul! I'm physically and mentally strong, able to manage more demanding behaviors and with gentle patience, charm the most nervous pets. I'm a freelance community project lead so I am flexible and enjoy getting outdoors as much as possible. I love a walk to the park that backs on to my home or a bigger jaunt round to Victoria and Lochee park. I have a fenced in garden for zoomies and the park adjacent for longer stretches. We use the back door as our main door which offers additional safety as we can implement an 'airlock' system between the two internal doors 😅. Our neighborhood is a 20 zone and we live on a cul-de-sac. We have space for your crate if you would like to provide one for your dog's comfort.

5-Star Review: An Absolute Joy and Peace of Mind! We cannot recommend Iona highly enough! From start to finish, her service was absolutely excellent. Her communication was flawless throughout our time away, keeping us entirely at ease. Before we even left, Iona took the time to ask detailed questions about our dog's specific likes, dislikes, and routines. This preparation made a massive difference, helping our dog feel secure and settled in our absence. It is completely obvious that Iona genuinely loves spending time with dogs. She went above and beyond with fun activities to keep our pup happy and engaged. We returned home to a thoroughly content dog and a house left in the condition we left it.Thank you so much, Iona, for your incredible care! We will absolutely be booking you for all of our future dog sitting needs and confidently recommend you to anyone looking for excellent pet care in their home.

Joanne and Callum were amazing with Sabine from their first meeting. We knew our dog would be in safe hand from the moment they walked into our home. Joanne is such an animal lover and the way she welcomed her into her arms was super cute! From the first meeting we knew we had made the right choice. We booked Joanne for 3 nights and Sabine fell in love with her, sniffing around for her after they were gone and we were back. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again. Happy dog and a clean tidy house when we returned. Thank you Joanne (and Callum) for being amazing!

This our first time using a dog sitting service and we were very happy with Amaris. No issues at all. Even though she was sick at the start of the dog sitting she still looked after them and kept us updated (usually on how naughty the puppy had been) but they were fed and cuddled and seemed to be happy around Amaris which was our biggest worry as this was bew to both us and the dogs. They are big boisterous dogs (60kg adult and 35kg 8 month old) so it was pleasing to have someone who was able to manage them.

FAQs for House Sitting - Dundee

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in Dundee on Rover is £28.75 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 391 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Dundee. Enter your postcode 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:

  • Post & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
  • Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
  • Rubbish & recycling: Taking bins out on scheduled rubbish collection days.
  • Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.

The best time to agree on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a 'home cheat sheet' that includes your preferred Dundee walking routes, the location of your favourite pet shop, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.

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.

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 .

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 Dundee choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a key safe or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.

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 vet. 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 authorisation form for your regular vet. An authorisation 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.
