“Can’t recommend Orla highly enough, great communication before and during her stay with regular updates throughout. Instantly our dog took to her and we left the house confident poppy was in good hands. We will definitely be back in contact to have her home board poppy again 🥰”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter than Robyn Our Golden Retriever can be a little needy at times, and because she’s truly like our daughter, it was so important for us to find someone who would care for her as much as we do—especially while we were away getting married. I found Robyn on Rover after reading a few of her reviews and decided to reach out. Straight away, she gave off such a warm and welcoming vibe. When we met in person, Bailey took to her instantly, which meant everything to us. Robyn asked lots of questions about Bailey, which really reassured us that she genuinely cared about getting to know her. We also arranged a shorter sitting session beforehand so both Bailey and Robyn could get comfortable with each other, which was such a great idea. On our wedding weekend, Robyn arrived right on time and even brought us a little gift, which was such a kind and thoughtful touch. Throughout the day, she kept us updated with photos and messages, so we always knew Bailey was happy and well looked after. When we got home, Bailey was so excited to see us—but it was clear she’d had a lovely time too. Thank you so much, Robyn—we’re so grateful”
“Aileen is a very thoughtful, mindful and motivated pet sitter, with a genuine heart and compassion around animals She is a natural with my dog, and has brilliant communication skills. I received updates and photos throughout, and I felt comfortable and confident that my dog was well looked after, was shown lots of love and cuddles and looked very happy. I came back from a work trip and my boy was happy, content and relaxed I would highly recommend Aileen, and would absolutely use her again”
About: I've had both cats and dogs all throughout my life and I have plenty of experience looking after animals. I regularly look after my family and friends pets and I love having a furry companion by my side. I live in a house with a large garden with lots of room to play and all animals are welcome on our sofas and bed if that's where they are most comfortable. Also, if you'd rather we kept them off furniture to keep consistent with training at home then I'm more than happy to follow your rules. I work from home full time so I have plenty of availability and I'll be around to keep your dog company, with lots of stimulation and walks. I'm comfortable with large dogs and will do my very best to accommodate any special requests or concerns you might have. Excited to meet your furry best friend! 🐈🐶 I work from home full-time self employed so I'd love a furry companion or two to keep me company! I'm available for day sits, nights & holidays and I'm able to accommodate for as many walks needed. I'd love to keep you updated regularly about how your pet is doing with pictures and texts ☺️ happy to listen to any requests or concerns you have.
“We were very happy with Denise. When we came home the house was spotless and everything was in order. More importantly, our 4 month old puppy had obviously had a lovely time with Denise and seemed calm and relaxed. We would be happy to use Denise again.”
About: I am available at short notice and can do weekends, Mon-Thurs after 4:30 and fridays after 3. I also drive, so can access various locations e.g beaches, parks etc if your pet is ok in the car. Passionate about animals and love nothing more than spending time with them 🐾 I work Monday - Thursday 8:30-4:30pm and Friday 8:30-3pm. I can do early mornings, evenings & potentially lunch visits on these days. Please be aware of this before requesting house sitting if your pet needs someone with them most of the day/all day. However, I am available at weekends. I am flexible to work around your preferences for walking / house sitting. Before accepting house sitting requests, I will ask pictures of facilities e.g where I would be sleeping etc.
“Jennifer is just THE BEST. We booked her to stay in our home with our dog, a staffie named Ringo, for two weeks and we could not have asked for a better experience. She visited us not once but twice (at our request) prior to the booking to ensure we were confident and comfortable. Ringo had the time of his life with Jennifer. She took him on so many walking adventures – and she provided photos and videos of them every single day. Ringo says she was a magnificent cuddler, too. In the past, we kennelled him at a “luxury” kennel but we worried about how much time he was spending alone. It always put a damper on our trips away as we worried about him and this time, we had no worries at all. Jennifer communicated with us multiple times each day. There were a couple of unexpected events (power outage for one) and Jennifer handled them with grace. We were relaxed and happy because we knew Ringo was, too.”
“Angela did a fabulous job looking after our energetic pup Archie whilst we were both away for a week. She gave him all of his favourite things - plenty of walks, treats and attention. We got regular updates which helped us feel reassured. We would definitely book Angela again”
About: With over 30 years of hands-on pet care experience, I provide a safe, loving, and attentive environment for animals of all kinds. My background includes caring for a wide range of pets—from dogs and cats to parrots and geckos—as well as experience rooted in a family farming environment, which has deepened my understanding of animal behavior and welfare. I am confident handling large dog breeds such as Great Danes, Rottweilers, and Bullmastiffs, and I ensure every pet in my care receives not only proper supervision but also plenty of affection, attention, and comfort. I also have extensive experience with cats of all breeds and temperaments, including Sphynx, Ragdolls, and Maine Coons. Each cat is treated with patience, kindness, and respect for their unique personality. Your pet’s wellbeing is my top priority, and you can trust they will be cared for as if they were my own. I’m part time working mum and fit my visits / walks in around the school run, I’m happy to be flexible with dates and times with notice. My home has a large fenced garden, and live close to parks and countryside walks, I will treat your home with respect and your pets like my own, I can offer solo walks or group walks and I’m happy to care for multiple pets.
“Taya was absolutely fantastic stepping in last minute before I went away on holiday. She went above and beyond and really appreciated everything she did while I was away. Poppy is a very fussy, stubborn dog and not sure of strangers but Taya had sat for poppy before so was pleased I could book her again. I felt happy and confident that poppy was getting on fab while away with all the updates and a surprise that she was eating her food as she is usually stubborn and can go days without eating so I knew that she was very relaxed and comfortable with Taya when she told me she was eating. Absolutely amazing experience with Taya, would recommend 100%.”
“From the minute we met Amy we felt reassured she took the time to ask questions, get to know our pets and gave us the opportunity to ask questions. My dogs instantly fell in love with her. She communicated with us throughout her stay, sent photos. Our house was kept clean and tidy and she even went the extra mile and washed the bedding. We really hope Amy will come back next time we are away and highly recommend her. Thank you Amy 🫶”
“Jessica took excellent care of our older Staffy during her 4-night/5-day stay in our home. He requires medication and had a slight limp (caused by a little too much running on the beach), so he needed a little extra attention and care. Jessica was gentle, attentive, and clearly mindful of his needs throughout. She managed his medications reliably, ensured he was comfortable, and was sensible about taking him for walks when he was up to them. We returned to a happy, relaxed dog. We would be happy to have Jessica care for him again and would confidently recommend her to others.”

About: Hi, I'm Alice! I'm a genuine dog lover who enjoys spending quality time with dogs of all ages and personalities. While living in Glasgow, I looked after a lovely Schnauzer once a week for three years, building a great bond through regular walks, playtime, and plenty of cuddles. I've recently moved to a peaceful home just outside Kilmarnock with a large, secure garden that's perfect for playing, exploring, and relaxing outdoors. Whether your dog loves long walks, games of fetch, or simply curling up for some company, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet, and I'll treat your dog with the same love, care, and attention as if they were my own. If you're looking for a friendly, reliable, and caring sitter, I'd love to meet you and your furry friend. Please feel free to get in touch—I look forward to hearing from you! Thanks, Alice 🐾 Pet care fits easily into my daily routine as I have a flexible schedule and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs. I make time each day for walks, playtime, feeding, and giving plenty of attention and affection. I also have a large garden where dogs can safely play and burn off energy. Whether your dog needs company during the day, regular walks, or overnight care, I'll make sure they receive the love, exercise, and attention they deserve while keeping to their usual routine as much as possible. Your dog's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. In my home, dogs will have a calm, clean, and welcoming environment with plenty of space to relax and a large garden for supervised play and exercise. I'll follow your dog's usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, medication (if needed), and any specific instructions you provide. When caring for dogs in an owner's home, I'll treat both your home and your dog with the utmost respect. I'll ensure your dog receives lots of attention, exercise, companionship, and affection while keeping them comfortable in their familiar surroundings. I'll also keep you updated with regular messages and photos, so you can relax knowing your dog is happy and well cared for.
“Ian has a really lovely natural way with dogs. Loki took to him instantly. I felt reassured that Loki was being well looked after whilst I attended my mum's funeral. He followed instructions. I will certainly book him again. Thank you”
About: I have taken care of many family friends pets, comfortable with any temperament, can do daily check ins and walks or overnight stays when needed, student veterinary nurse so have gained extra handling experience. I am also currently working on a farm so spend most days looking after lots of animals including overnight care when the farmer is away. Currently working part time on farm from 8am-1pm Monday- Thursday and Sundays, able to do drop in visits/ walks before work. Come September I am back at uni 2 days a week and then do online classes other days which means I am able to do multiple drop ins/ walks a day and overnights when needed. Comfortable staying in people’s homes when needed, can cater to any and all needs of pets. If dogs have routines of going to enclosed dog parks I am able to stick to routine as I can drive and have had no incidents or claims.
“Camilla is a complete delight. She took time out of her day to do a little meet and greet with our dogs a few days before she looked after them and they fell in love with her instantly. The care she took of them for the day we booked was perfect, we left them knowing they were in the best of care. She played with them and snuggled with them and they were so happy with her. We will definitely use Camilla again and I highly recommend her. The easiest ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ever. Thank you Camilla. We 💜 you xx”
“What an absolute star! Both our girls were looked after so well and the youngest (who is usually scared of everyone and everything) really took to Sanyam, which made it a little easier to be away, knowing she has a new best friend. 🥰 I will absolutely be rebooking Sanyam to watch our wee ones. So accommodating, quick with communication, and of course sent us all the photos and updates!”

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 East Ayrshire 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 East Ayrshire 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.
