“Julia was amazing, she made a right fuss of little Jinx and looked after him while I was away for three nights. She made a big effort and kept in contact while I was away with photos! Thanks so much Julia 🐈⬛”


About: I’m a reliable and active dog walker based in Bearsden who has always been around dogs through family and friends. I enjoy getting outdoors and tailoring walks to suit different dogs’ energy levels and routines. I provide safe, attentive, and enjoyable walks while keeping owners updated and reassured. I have flexible availability throughout the week and always try to accommodate owners where possible. I enjoy staying active and spending time outdoors, so dog walking fits naturally into my routine. I’m a calm but attentive dog walker who always prioritises safety, trust, and making sure dogs feel comfortable and well looked after. I tailor walks to suit different dogs’ personalities, routines, and energy levels.
“We were incredibly lucky to find Erin at the very last minute after our original sitter cancelled just before our holiday. It was a really stressful situation and we were genuinely close to cancelling the trip altogether, but Erin completely saved us. She stepped in on short notice, was reliable, kind, and immediately put our minds at ease. Throughout the stay, she was communicative and caring, and it was clear our dog was in great hands. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog sitter.”


About: Hi, I’m Martina, a caring and reliable pet sitter with six years of experience looking after both dogs and cats. I know how hard it can be to leave your pet with someone new, so I do everything I can to help them feel safe, relaxed and well cared for. I always take the time to get to know their routine, personality and little quirks, and I’ll carefully follow any instructions you leave. I’m particularly comfortable with rescue dogs and dogs who need a bit of extra patience. My own dog, Bob, is a Romanian rescue with reactivity issues, so I understand how important it is to recognise triggers, keep walks calm, respect boundaries and adapt to each dog’s needs. I also share my home with Ray, my beautiful long-haired cat and, of course, tiny prince of my world! I know cats often need a gentler approach: patience, respect for their space and attention to the small signs that tell you how they’re feeling. Whether your pet needs a calm walk, a drop-in visit, some company while you’re away or care in their own home, I’ll look after them with the same kindness and attention I give my own pets. I’m also happy to send updates, messages and photos, so you can relax knowing how your pet is doing. My aim is simple: for your pet to feel happy and comfortable, and for you to feel completely at ease. I’m a freelance translator, so I have a flexible schedule and can fit pet care around my working hours. I’m able to arrange walks, drop-in visits and house sitting with plenty of flexibility, and I can often accommodate different routines and schedules. I’m happy to discuss your pet’s needs and find a schedule that works well for everyone. I have six years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats, including pet sitting for friends and family. I’m also a cat owner and have experience caring for a rescue dog with reactivity issues, so I’m comfortable adapting to different personalities, routines and needs. I’m confident with walks, feeding, playtime, litter care and keeping pets comfortable and safe.
“Fallon was great! She stayed at our place for six nights and looked after our pug Augie. Augie had a delightful time with her. She was responsive during our time away, sending regular updates, and took great care of the flat. Highly recommended.”

About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I lost my own dog of 12 years last April, so I know how much pets mean to people and how important it is knowing they’re in safe hands. Since meeting my partner, his dog took to me straight away and we’ve become really close — I spend most of my free time with him. I’m used to both big and small breeds, including Border Collies, Staffy/Akita mixes and Cocker Spaniels. I also help care for family members’ and neighbours’ dogs regularly, whether that’s walks, feeding, playtime or just keeping them company. Dogs usually warm to me very quickly and I genuinely just love being around them. I currently have a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to give your dog the attention, care and company they need. I’m available for walks, drop-ins and pet sitting throughout the week and weekends. Spending time with dogs is something I genuinely enjoy, so I’m always happy to fit my routine around their needs and keep them comfortable and settled. Your dog’s safety and comfort will always come first with me. I’m very attentive to routines, behaviour and making sure pets feel relaxed in their environment. I’m experienced with both large and small breeds and understand that every dog is different. Whether that’s sticking to feeding schedules, long walks, playtime or just giving them company and reassurance, I’ll care for them like they’re my own.
“Phoebe was so happy to see Sydney she was bouncing around and ran down stairs to meet her making happy noises . She was well looked after again and was well exercised with her ball which she loves . We got plenty pictures to ease our minds which showed us Phoebe was having such a good time without us . This is our third time using Sydney and are already looking to rebook for our nxt holiday . Would recommend Sydney to anyone needing a sitter and are happy to have her stay in our home to look after Phoebe in her own space makes it so much easier when we go away she’s not to upset about us leaving as she has her friend to come look after her”


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.
“Alaina gave my pups the love and care they needed while I was out of town. She took the three of them for walks, kept to their feeding schedule, and partook in cozy cuddle sessions, keeping them in routine and happy! She kept things neat and tidy in my home, leaving it as she had found it. She communicated well and the dogs all loved her!”

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!
“Thankyou Madison, you were absolutely amazing with my cat Finnie, I really appreciate your care and attention to him! I can tell he was loving having you with him and I've come back to a happy cat. And I so appreciated you sending me regular photos and updates. I 100% recommend Madison as a cat sitter - so reliable, friendly and caring. I'll definitely ask for you again Madison!”

“Jessica was very accommodating during a last minute request! Lyra immediately loved her during the initial meet and greet. Jessica kept me up to date during her stay and treated Lyra like her own. Thanks so much 🤍”

“Bruce housesat for us and took care of our little dachshund Sigmund for 6 days while we were travelling, and was just amazing. From start to end, he was just amazing - lovely, warm personality, very loving to animals and very knowledgeable as well. Our dog is a bit of a character and can be very reactive/aggressive with other dogs and strangers, but Bruce handled all of that in stride, trying various training techniques on walks and even got Sigi cuddling and playing with his own young dog. He has a great way with animals for sure and just hugely reliable and pleasant to deal with. Whilst we were gone he sent us loads of updates and videos/pics, and also took amazing care of our apartment. Hugely recommended!”


About: I am a 26 year old Solicitor from Glasgow. I absolutely love cats but unfortunately can’t have any in my current flat, so I would love to spend some time with them!! I have experience caring for my brother’s ginger cat, Caesar and love cuddling and playing with him. I have years of experience in caring for Poppy, a Bearded Collie who is unfortunately no longer with us. She was a medium, high-energy dog and we were best of friends!
About: Grown up owning a Labrador and being surrounded by a number of family dogs of various sizes including rescue dogs. Our household welcomes all kind of paws and pups. I work shifts and my partner works hybrid (home and office). Between us there is someone home, keen to cuddle or up for a walk. We occasionally look after family and friends dogs when required. I have a fenced, secure garden. A box full of toys and treats for all dogs to enjoy. A dedicated cuddle chair calling out for a dog snuggle.

About: Hi! I am Miri (she/her), I am 27 and work remotely in the Charity sector. I am caring, sensible and reliable and have a big love for cats - missing my bub Carlo who is at home with my parents very much! Growing up, we always had cats so looking after them feels second nature to me and brings me so much joy 💛 I work from home and my work are very flexible, so am available for drop-in services twice a day (before work/ lunch/after work). For dog boarding I can provide breaks for playing and going outside every 2-4 hours :) When I come to your home, I will be patient whilst your pet gets to know me and do everything I can to create a comfortable and trusting environment for them. For boarding, we have a fenced garden and front garden as well as direct access to both.
About: I have been blessed to help raise my puppy, Marag, for the last 7 years with my parents. Helping raise Marag, and growing up with him has taught me that you need a balance of patience and energy when it comes to looking after animals. I thoroughly enjoy meeting new pets and helping others, always looking to learn more about different breeds and animals too! I’m a uni student, but finishing up for the summer so I have a lot of free time where I am more than willing and excited to look after different animals. I’m available Monday-Sunday, and have flexible hours to accommodate the needs of the pet owners. I provide attentive, loving care in both my home and the owner’s home, ensuring pets feel safe, comfortable, and well-cared for. This includes feeding, walks, playtime, grooming, and following any specific routines or instructions to keep pets happy and healthy.
About: I've had dogs since childhood, a German Shepherd called Rebel and a Russell terrier called Spencer and I loved them both very dearly. I have great memories of them and hope to make more with your pets. I'm a part time football coach and with the season over for the summer, I have a lot more free time to look after your pets. I am currently at any time during the day for dog walking and pet sitting. Situated in the West End, I live close to the Botanic Gardens and Kelvingrove Park so there's no shortage of places to walk and play. I live in a flat with an enclosed communal garden which is ideal for over night pet sitting. The area is quiet meaning that more anxious dogs can properly relax.
The median cost per night for house sitting in East Dunbartonshire is £30

Julia looked after our two Greyhounds Sophie and Willow in our home while we were on holiday. The dogs were very content being kept in their normal routines and surroundings. Julia was a perfect house guest and kept in contact, sent photos and took Willow’s unusual behaviours in her stride. I would recommend Julia and would not hesitate to ask her to look after the girls again, thank you Julia.

Andra came and watched our 2 dogs for 3 nights and honestly cannot fault her at all! From the level of care given, to updates throughout our trip away and attention to detail everything was perfect! Our boys had a great time and were well cared for. Will definitely be rebooking in the future! Thank you again Andra, much appreciated :)

Mark is great with your pet. He is absolutely attentive and very loving and caring. I felt very at ease leaving Benny in his care and I know Benny was very happy and felt very welcome. Mark built a lovely bond with Benny and I would definitely recommend Mark , hes very in tune with your pet and had a lovely approach towards Benny and it all went really smoothly. Couldn't be happier with the overall experience .
Thankyou Madison, you were absolutely amazing with my cat Finnie, I really appreciate your care and attention to him! I can tell he was loving having you with him and I've come back to a happy cat. And I so appreciated you sending me regular photos and updates. I 100% recommend Madison as a cat sitter - so reliable, friendly and caring. I'll definitely ask for you again Madison!

Diana looked after my miniature poodle puppy Ebony for me this weekend. I was working quite unsociable hours and wanted Ebony cared for in her own home. Diana was very flexible and reliable. Communication was great. Sent updates and photos and Ebony clearly felt relaxed with her. Always worrying to leave your fur baby with a stranger but everything went very smoothly. I would highly recommend Diana and intend to book her again in the future

Sophia was absolutely fantastic with Arlo and Ghost. She kept me updated throughout the day with lovely messages and photos, and honestly her updates had me smiling all day seeing what they were getting up to 🥹❤️ She really took the time to understand both of their different personalities, was so patient with Ghost, and Arlo clearly thought she was wonderful. I came home to two very happy, very tired dogs! I felt completely at ease knowing they were with her and would absolutely recommend Sophia to anyone looking for someone kind, attentive and genuinely brilliant with dogs.

Lisa was everything whilst on my holiday, Came to meet the cats and everything clicked into place, i just knew i was leaving them with a fantastic individual. When it came time to leave, Lisa reassured me and when away? So many pictures and updates, she was fantastic. Even on the way back, coming in, everything was taken care of, the cats were so happy and well groomed. She is a dream for an anxious cat parent. If you don’t travel, or go away from your kitties much, she is the one i would book in a heartbeat once again. Once again Lisa, thank you so much for everything you’ve done this weekend, it has been an absolute wonder!!

Pipa the dog and Oreo and Biscuit the cats really loved Sidney. Oreo in particular isn't keen on strangers but Sidney he liked so she must have done something right haha! Pipa had a lovely day out during Sidney's stay too. House was left lovely and tidy and all animals well looked after! We would definitely be happy to have Sidney again :)

We had Andrea look after Finn for the first time, and he was really happy with her from the start. She kept us very well updated throughout, and it was so reassuring to see how content and comfortable he was. As a vet student, Andrea clearly has a great understanding of animals, and she took very good care of Finn with lots of cuddles and walks. We would highly recommend Andrea and happily book with her again. Thank you Andrea!

This was our first time having Clarrie look after Finn and she took wonderful care of him. We could see how happy he was with her from our first meeting and he had a fantastic time with lots of walks and fun. Clarrie kept us updated with great communication from start to finish, which meant we could relax and enjoy our time away knowing he was in safe hands. We would highly recommend Clarrie and will definitely be booking again. Thank you so much, Clarrie!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in East Dunbartonshire on Rover is £34.5 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 Dunbartonshire 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 Dunbartonshire 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.
