Serge had a great time with Robert. Lots of long walks in the fresh air left him snoring at night! 3 days in a row was a big ask but Robert made it easy and Serge was wagging his tail and didn’t even look back by the 2nd day. Whether he was relaxing or out having fun Robert kept us up to date with some lovely photos of Serge. He took great care of Serge and we would highly recommend his services. Happy to use him again.

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.

About: I've been surrounded by dogs and cats for as long as I can remember, and caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. Growing up, we always had dogs at home, and I helped raise them from puppies—looking after them, training them, taking them on walks, and making sure they were happy, healthy, and loved. We also spent a lot of time in the countryside, where being around dogs became a natural part of everyday life. Since moving to Scotland, I've continued caring for the dogs and pets of my friends and family whenever they've needed help. I genuinely love spending time with animals and treat every dog as if they were my own. Unfortunately, because of previous travel commitments, I wasn't able to have a dog of my own. I live in a fantastic area surrounded by parks, green spaces, and the Clyde Canal, so there are plenty of beautiful places for walks and adventures. I also have a secure garden where dogs can safely play and relax. I understand that trusting someone with your beloved dog is a big decision. I will always care for your dog with patience, kindness, and genuine love, making sure they feel safe, happy, and well looked after while they're with me. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply relaxing by someone's side, I'll make sure they have the best possible experience. I currently work remotely from home, which means I have a flexible schedule and can provide your dog with plenty of attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. I'm available during weekdays, weekends, and evenings, so your dog will rarely be left alone and will always have someone nearby to look after them. I live in a peaceful cottage flat in a wonderful area surrounded by parks, green spaces, and the Clyde Canal, providing the perfect setting for daily walks, exercise, and new adventures. I also have a secure, enclosed garden where dogs can safely play, explore, or simply relax. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your beloved pet. I will always care for your dog with patience, kindness, and genuine affection, following their usual routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable, safe, and at home. My goal is to give every dog a happy, stress-free experience while providing you with complete peace of mind. Your dog's safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my highest priorities. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, so I will care for them with the same patience, kindness, and attention that I would give my own. I take the time to understand each dog's routine, personality, and individual needs, including feeding schedules, exercise, medications, and any special instructions, so they can feel as settled and comfortable as possible. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply relaxing in a quiet space, I'll make sure they receive the care and attention that's right for them. My home is a calm, safe, and dog-friendly environment with a secure enclosed garden for supervised play, and I'm surrounded by parks, green spaces, and the Clyde Canal for enjoyable daily walks. Dogs are never left unattended in the garden, and I'll always ensure they are secure and comfortable both indoors and outdoors. I'll also keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your dog is happy, safe, and being well looked after while you're away.

About: I’m currently working in Glasgow and have a flexible schedule I lived with a dog for two years during university, where I trained and cared for them from a young puppy. As an athlete, I love staying active and enjoy bringing dogs along with me to keep them healthy and happy. Regular exercise is essential for their wellbeing, and I understand the importance of letting dogs free-roam in safe areas to explore, sniff, and connect with nature. I’m always eager to help care for dogs and take every opportunity to walk my friends’ pets big or small, from Chihuahuas to Great Danes. I also have experience administering medication to senior dogs, ensuring their specific needs are met. I’m currently doing a 9–5 internship during the week, but I always make time to stay active with dog walks and playtime! It’s the perfect way to unwind, stay fit, and spend quality time with animals. I live near Partick, which is a perfect area for walks and playtime. I’ve got everything ready to make your dog comfortable, including toys, blankets, and treats suitable for all sizes and needs. I’m very mindful of keeping anything hazardous or unsafe out of reach, especially for dogs with allergies. I understand the importance of ensuring they only eat food that’s safe for them, even when they’re feeling hungry or curious.

About: My partner and I have owned dogs all our lives dogs of all sizes. Different breeds from German shepherd, Great Dane and Pomeranian so have dealt with different dog behaviors I have all the time to care for your dog I’m at home every day so can be there 24/7 the longest they would maybe be left alone would be max 1 hour. Which would be unlikely if I knew they could travel in a car I would always take them with me I stay in a flat but have a green just outside and plenty of lovely walk ways very near by. Your dog would be well cared for and given lots of love and cuddles

About: I love being around animals. Had a cat growing up but always wanted a dog. Now that I am working remotely I was able to fulfil my dream and have a small poodle myself. I know how much time and care is needed to look after an animal. Dogs and cats alike. I am currently working remotely so I have plenty of opportunities to set my schedule around the needs of your best friend. I enjoy taking my lunch break outside and am happy to go for a walk. I live in an apartment. As I have a dog myself it is tidy and dog proof. I have a fenced in garden and Kelvingrove park is about two minutes away. There are plenty of walks close by to discover. During Drop in visits I am respecting the pet owners home. I will keep it clean and organised.

About: Hi there! I’m an active, lifelong dog owner and remote worker, meaning your pup will have dedicated companionship, plenty of attention, and a fun, structured routine throughout the day. Having grown up with dogs my entire life, I understand that every pet has a unique personality, routine, and set of needs. I offer dog walking and dog sitting services tailored to keep your pet happy, safe, and well-exercised. Because I work remotely, I’m home for the vast majority of the day and can easily accommodate drop-in potty breaks, feeding schedules, mid-day playtime, and regular outdoor walks. Aside from my remote work, my main hobbies are playing football and practicing martial arts. My active lifestyle means I have plenty of energy for longer walks, games of fetch, or energetic outdoor sessions if your dog loves to move. If your dog prefers cuddling on the couch while I work, they’ll have a quiet, comfortable space to relax right by my side. You can rest easy knowing your dog is receiving attentive, experienced, and trustworthy care while you’re away. I treat every dog in my care with the same patience, love, and effort as my own! I work full time remotely from home. I can have the dogs out for walks every couple of hours with or without my own dog present. I live beside a large park so have plenty of space for exercise. I have a fenced garden which your dog will have open access to all day as I work from my conservatory. I’m fine with the dogs being on couch and bed or have have them held in crate if needed. Completely flexible.

About: I have experience working at a local dog shelter, where I cared for dogs of different sizes, breeds, and temperaments. I also have my own dog back home, so I’m very used to daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, and making sure dogs feel safe and happy. I’m currently studying at university, but I really miss being around dogs, so I’d love the chance to spend time caring for and looking after yours. Hey, im a student, so i have loads of free times on my hands, and would love to babysit your furry babies x I have a good balance of staying home and going out therefore the dogs will not be stuck in the house and of course, up to your instructions i will take them out! Hey, i have a garden and a park next to me so walks will be a daily thing, i will of course care to your pets needs and make sure i know everything before feeding them!

Holly is a fantastic sitter and our little dog felt immediately comfortable with her and Emmet during the meet and greet in the park, and in their home. Holly was very understanding and accommodating to our dog’s toilet and mobility needs as an older gentleman. He was visibly happy and comfortable each day when we came to collect him. The fact that he ate twice each day while there says everything about how happy he was to be with them! Their home was very clean, tidy and comfortable and Madog settled in straight away. Holly maintained communication with us, sending us updates and replying quickly. Holly was very understanding and flexible towards our changing drop off and collection times as we were visiting Glasgow. There was always parking available on the street which made things very easy. Holly and Emmet are two of the loveliest people you will meet. We miss them already! I have no hesitation in giving them a five star review.

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.....

FAQs for Doggy Day Care – East Dunbartonshire

Frequently asked questions about Rover

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

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care 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 Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .

There are 948 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in East Dunbartonshire. About 88% of East Dunbartonshire sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you are planning ahead for public holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day cover for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

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. Read more about our requirement for following local licensing requirements .
