“Natalie has treated our wee dog like he was her own. He is so terribly anxious, and Natalie totally understood this and based on the photos he clearly calmed and felt very comfortable and happy with her. Would absolutely definitely book Natalie again and would have no hesitation in recommending her to others. Thank you so much Natalie”
“Nune did a great job looking after my two. She sent regular updates and lots of photos, and the dogs seem to be smiling in all the pictures! I would be very comfortable with her looking after them again. Highly recommended”
“First time using rover so was a little anxious but James was fantastic with Cody. Cody is an anxious dog so James' calm and friendly manner was perfect. James was also great at communicating both before and during the daycare and took lots of great photo updates. Would definitely recommend ?”
“Isabelle was great with Luna! She did some day sitting for us and including three walks each day. Luna had a lovely time and I received lots of update photos. Thanks Isabelle!”
“What a great experience Archie had. He absolutely loved his time with Gianna. She took great care of him with great walks and playtime, so much so he slept the rest of the day 😆. Can’t wait to use Gianna again for his care. Highly recommended.”
“Ann is great with Willow. She really shows she cares and gets to know your pet. We really appreciate her flexibility and the regular updates through the day are very reassuring. We received lots of pics and could see Willow was having fun. We will definitely book with Ann again.”
“Amy is so lovely, I couldn’t recommend her enough to look after your dog. Flossie is always a very happy (and tired) boy after his visits. Lots of photos/ videos/ communication from Amy too. 10/10!”
“Gemma was an absolute lifesaver! She took care of our mini dachshund, Figgy, at very short notice, and we couldn’t have been happier with how everything went. From the moment we spoke, I could tell she genuinely cared about animals, and Figgy instantly felt comfortable around her. Throughout his stay, she kept us updated with regular photos and messages, which gave us such peace of mind. When he was picked up, he was happy, relaxed, and clearly well looked after. I highly recommend Gemma to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and attentive dog sitter!”
“Millie and Stephen looked after Augustus recently. They made us both feel very welcome. Augustus took to both straight away. It was obvious in his behaviour how much he enjoyed visiting. I would definitely recommend and book again.”
“Soojin was brilliant! She made Oslo's days exciting and fun packed. She kept us updated with photos of the long walks and how he was doing. Oslo came back very happy and content. On the next visit he pulled me all the way to her door! Thank you for giving Oslo a great experience.”
About: I grew up with dogs and cats, and we always had three dogs at home, so caring for animals has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’m a true dog lover and have always felt a special bond with dogs. Over the years, I’ve looked after dogs for friends, family and neighbours, and I take the time to understand each dog’s personality. I like to learn what makes them happy, comfortable or anxious, and tailor my care around that, whether that means longer walks, shorter gentle walks, extra attention, playtime, or simply giving them space to settle. What sets me apart is that I don’t treat every dog the same. I take the time to understand their individual needs and routine, so they feel safe, relaxed and properly cared for. I care for every dog as if they were my own, and my goal is for both you and your dog to feel completely comfortable and confident while you're apart. My routine is very flexible and will fit around your dog’s needs. I am at home throughout the day, so I can adapt to their usual schedule for walks, feeding, playtime, rest and toilet breaks, helping them feel settled and comfortable. In my home, your dog will be treated like part of the family. I have a secure fenced garden, so they will have plenty of opportunity to run around, play and get fresh air throughout the day. I will be at home all day, every day, so your dog will not be left alone while in my care. I’m also close to some fantastic parks and walking areas, including Mugdock and Garscube, so I can provide proper daily walks, hikes and outdoor time depending on your dog’s needs and energy levels. My living room is tiled and right beside the back door, which makes it easy to care for younger dogs or dogs that are still toilet training. I always aim to keep dogs comfortable, safe and relaxed, while sticking as closely as possible to their usual routine.
“Louise was great with Plin and took excellent care of him. She was caring, flexible, knowledgable and professional. We will trust her with our dog anytime again. Warmest recommendations.”
“Hollys first time looking after Arthur was great. She was very relaxing and did not seem phased at welcoming a new dog into her home at all. She updated me during the day and offered to give him a wee evening week as I was running late which was awesome. Arthur will be visiting Holly again”
About: Hello! My name is Joey, I am a first year veterinary student at the university of Glasgow. I moved here from California where I worked as a veterinary nurse in the emergency room for 7 years. I value each and every one of your pets as if they were my own! Safety is a high priority for me, but also fun and exercise is incredibly important for your pets wellbeing. I am eager to meet your fur family member! I am currently a student and my schedule is flexible, send a message and we can chat about what times will work best for you and your pet. I will treat every pet as if they were my own, I understand how important this is. I will use low stress techniques, and offer a fear free environment. Some pets are stressed when a stranger is in the home or taking them for walks, I’m sure I can manage to reduce that stress as much as possible. I am well trained in CPR, medication administration, and general husbandry of small animals.
“Had a great experience with Lisa from start to finish. She replied to messages promptly and was very happy to accomodate our needs and those of our dog. We left our dog for Doggy Day Care and had a warm welcome at the door. Lisa kept us updated throughout the day with pictures and messages and gave our dog a nice walk. I'd thoroughly recommend Lisa - we would definitely book her again in the future. Thanks, Lisa!”

Deryn and her partner were fantastic with Tess. They looked after her for the day and made her feel completely at home. We picked up a happy, relaxed dog, which says everything. They were friendly, caring and clearly love dogs. We’d have no hesitation in leaving Tess with them again and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy and reliable dog sitters. Thanks guys!
Andrea is our new best doggie carer ... Alf and Daisy really do not like being away from Chris and I. And are normally really stressed about it But Andrea kept them calm and gave them time to settle, and they were really well cared for. Loads of photos to keep us posted on them, and extremely flexible when we had some last minute change of plans.... We are very happy to have found someone who cared for Alf and Daisy the same way we care for them.....
Amy and her partner were fantastic with Tess and took such great care of her. Tess was really happy and settled with her, and it was clear she’d been well looked after and had a great time. Amy was friendly, reliable and kept us updated throughout. We’d have no hesitation in booking her again and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone caring and trustworthy to look after their dog. Thanks again 😊
Soojin was brilliant! She made Oslo's days exciting and fun packed. She kept us updated with photos of the long walks and how he was doing. Oslo came back very happy and content. On the next visit he pulled me all the way to her door! Thank you for giving Oslo a great experience.
Cailtin took excellent care of our dog Jake. Caitlin was super accommodating at short notice with doggy day care and very responsive when organising pick up and drop offs. She’s got a great way with dogs and you can see she genuinely loves taking care of them. Jake was well taken care of and we received a photo update during his stay.

The average cost for Doggy Day Care in East Dunbartonshire on Rover is £26.45 per day (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 928 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in East Dunbartonshire. About 88% of East Dunbartonshire sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes.

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 East Dunbartonshire 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.
