“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.”
“Iona was patient learning our pet's various needs, was very communicative while we were away, and everyone seemed to be in great shape upon our return; not to mention our home was just as we left it. Would definitely recommend and already have her booked for a future need.”
About: I have grown up with many dogs and cats throughout my life, many of which I have had to look after for weeks at a time. I have looked after a range of sizes, from Jack Russells, Bearded Dragons and Tabby Cats to German Shephards and Huskies. I tend to go on evening walks so bringing a pet along will be no trouble. I also work from home so you will receive round the clock care for your pet. I have a decent sized garden for the pet to roam in, plenty of space within the house for storing crates, tanks, etc. I also have a bath that can be used for cleaning if needed.
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 have looked after many dogs and cats since I was a child and I have always had my own pets around the house. I got used to walking large dogs growing up and would love to have one myself. I have been trusted to walk and sit pets for family and many loving pet owners like yourself. 🥰 I love the joy a pet can bring into a home and I enjoy the long walks we have I started pet sitting as way to fill my days with something that makes me happy and can hopefully help you out. It quickly became my top priority and I will always put you and your pet first !!☺️ Please let me know if there is any specific schedule you and your fur baby have and i will definitely stick to their routine 👍🏼 I will always be there to keep your adorable pets company. I am confident in lead walking if that suits the needs of your beloved pets and I am happy to work on lead training and recall if that is also something you do with them ☺️
“Erin was amazing with my rescue pup, Pickle. It was a very last minute booking but Erin made it work. She was so patient and understanding with Pickle. Her knowledge for animal care is very impressive. Erin kept me updated throughout the day, sent pictures and kept my flat immaculate for me coming home! I would recommend Erin to anyone who wants that peace of mind for their fur babies. Thank you, Erin for helping Pickle trust humans again. 🥹”
About: Hi, I’m Lawry, I’m 24 and from Dundee! I’ve been around dogs for almost all of my life and currently have a 7-year-old Fox Red Labrador called Amber🧡. I’m very comfortable with dogs of different sizes and personalities, and looking after Amber has taught me the importance of exercise, consistency, patience and providing a safe, loving environment. Growing up, I regularly walked and cared for my Beagle, Leila, and Black Lab, Bella, who had very different personalities and energy levels. I’ve also looked after dogs for friends and family, including regularly staying with my in-laws’ Border Collie. All of these experiences have given me a genuine love for dogs of all kinds! Being a student gives me plenty of flexibility, and as I often work from my laptop at home, house sitting fits easily around my routine. I usually like to use my study breaks to get outside for a walk, so having a dog to join me would be an added bonus! I’m able to give plenty of company, attention and care while still fitting my studies around their needs😊. I am currently studying at university, so I have great flexibility for your pet! My coursework is heavily computer based, and so I am able to do this from any location. My usual week has 1-2 full days in university, 1 half day for lectures, and the rest of the working week I complete work from my home. Weekends are always flexible for me! I am more than happy to tailor my day or week to you and your dogs needs. When I’m caring for your dog, my main priority is making sure your dog feels comfortable and settled while you’re away. I’ll follow whatever routine works best for your dog, including their usual meal times, walks, toilet breaks and bedtime. I’m also very happy to spend time with them throughout the day, whether that’s going out for a good walk, playing in the garden, having some enrichment time, or simply keeping them company at home. I know that not every dog needs the same amount of exercise or attention. Some will be ready for a long walk and a game of fetch, while others are much happier having a potter around the park before curling up for a nap. I’m happy to adapt to their personality and what they’re used to. I’ll treat your home and your dog with the same care and respect I would my own, and I’ll keep you updated while you’re away with photos and little updates throughout the stay. My aim is for you to be able to enjoy your time away knowing your dog is safe, happy and being well looked after.
“Amaris was fantastic! Was kept up to date on how my two fur-babies were doing, and always asked if she was unsure about something. House was immaculate when I got home and both pups super happy :) I'd be delighted to reccomend Amaris, and wouldn't think twice about rebooking again in the future”
“If we could give Christine 6 stars, we totally would! She was amazing with our dogs and her love for dogs is palpable. She is very thoughtful and respectful and though one of our boys is a bit shy and a bit unsure around new people, Christine was super patient and took her time to make him feel at ease. We came back to two very happy and well looked after boys and our house in pristine state. We cannot recommend Christine enough! Thank you xx”
About: I've had dogs in the family all my life, I lost my eldest Scotty dog of 14 years last year and am looking to keep dogs in my life though boarding and walking services. I'm quite lucky that I'm flexible when I work and can change days to suit so I'm at home with your pets. I can work from home to depending on the needs of you furries. I have a walled shared garden but would take your pet's on beach and Forest walks 😊 I live in a spacious flat with lots of parks and nature reserves nearby. I'm happy to pet sit at your home too.
“Short notice after a last minute cancellation and Kayli showed up big for our pups. They loved her immediately, and we enjoyed the pictures and updates. Everything was great when we came back from being gone nearly a week, will re-book!”
“From start to finish a wonderful experience. Kelly was so friendly and helpful. She was totally accommodating of my requests and I came back to a happy healthy dog who had obviuosly been very well cared for and an immaculate house and kind touches. I highly recommend Kelly. Thank you.”
“Rhona dog-sat for my Labrador, Tess recently. Rhona was very friendly, polite and efficient at all times. She sent photos and video of Tess playing happily and sent regular text updates. She also left the house just as she found it. I will definitely be asking Rhona to sit for Tess again in the future.”
“Megan was brilliant while we were away. She stayed at our house for the week and took such lovely care of Frances—it was really clear how comfortable and happy she’d been when we got back. It made such a difference knowing everything was in good hands while we were gone. We’d happily have Megan back anytime and would definitely recommend her.”
About: We have always had a family pet growing up. Family and friends come to me when they need someone to look after their dog whether it be for walks, or if they have other arrangements and they need a hand. Anytime, any day, give me a message. I will most likely be free and more than happy to assist when I can. I am pretty flexible and reliable. I will make sure to create a safe, comfortable, and welcoming environment for your dog. I am sure they will enjoy my company and soon want reunited for more fun!

Iona looked after our 2 energetic dogs for the day. Both dogs took to her at the first meeting which is always a good sign 😊 She sent us video and picture updates over the day and both of the dogs looked like they had a great day with her. Would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable dog sitter, and would definitely rebook in the future! Thank you! 😊
Highly recommend Whitney for pet sitting 🙂. She is so friendly, responsive and I can tell my cats really loved her 🩷. She took such good care of my home and sent me lots of pictures and updates on how Cleo & Rory were getting on throughout the week. We look forward to using Whitney again!
Tari and Alfie stayed at our home to look after our boy Tui. Just a lovely couple, gave us daily updates pictures and videos. Regular walks and lots of love. Tui has definitely gained 2 new friends. Tari and Alfie kept our home very clean and tidy, We would highly recommend Tari and Alfie to anyone who is looking for a sitter for their fur babies.
Christine was so good with my 6 month old Collie cross puppy! She was happy to take the time to meet both in my flat and go out for a walk with me to run through all the commands needed to keep a crazy collie pup calm and under control! She always showed up on time with a beaming smile and was really flexible to my uncertain schedule and coordinating dates involving another sitter. Will certainly be using her again and would recommend to anyone needing a great sitter especially for a puppy!
Katie looked after our two precious dogs while we were at a family event. Communication prior to the day was excellent and Katie was punctual and is such a lovely young lady. The pups took to her instantly & her warmth towards them was so endearing. We wouldn’t hesitate to use Katie again.
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!

FAQs for House Sitting – Dundee
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Dundee is £29 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between £24 and £40 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 October 2026, there are 410 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across the city of Dundee. About 83% typically respond to requests within 60 minutes.
Enter your address and booking dates to see which sitters are available near you. You can also message multiple sitters to improve your chances of finding the right care.
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.
House sitting is priced per night and generally includes an overnight stay. In the city of Dundee, the price of house sitting can vary between £24 and £40 per night.
Just make sure you and your sitter agree on the actual hours they'll stay in your home before you accept the booking. Each sitter has their own routine, and some might suit your schedule better than others. Keep your messages on the Rover app for future reference.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a 'home base' service. Most sitters in Dundee maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for 'WFH' sitters: Many sitters mention 'Work from Home' on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical 'away' windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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.
For more details, visit our Trust & Safety page.
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 , which provides up to £25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
