“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.
“After our first meeting with Fallon we were more than happy to leave Gracie for 10 days to visit family in the US. We received daily pics and feedback and we could see that she was well cared for, having lots of fun and not missing us at all. I would highly recommend Fallon to look after your pet(s) and would happily book with her again.”
“Jessica was brilliant and so keen to get all essential info about my dog Winston before watching him. She kept me updated all the time and even sent a few pictures of Winston having a great time. Couldn't recommend Jessica more!”
“Erin was absolutely amazing with Fergus, our rescue greyhound. He loved spending time with them and I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Erin's petsitting. They went above and beyond to help us. They stepped in at very short notice, they were on time and just genuinely warm and eager to help. Book Erin! You won't regret it.”
“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 have loved animals all my life and have grown up around both cats and dogs. I had a German Shepherd and have owned cats for most of my life, and regularly spend time with my boyfriend’s parents Cockapoo. As we sadly don’t currently have any pets I am really looking forward to having some animals around again! We are a couple in our late twenties living in Hyndland, both working hybrid and so there would always be someone in with your pet during the day ❤️🐾 We both work full time however both work hybrid and my partner is off every Friday. There will always be somebody around! We are available for walks, boarding, cat sitting or popping over to feed cats too if that is needed. We have a car so can get about easily! We stay in a flat in Hyndland so unfortunately don’t have a garden however we have lots of parks nearby, a shared garden outside and a car which we would use for bigger more exciting walks 🐾 otherwise we are really near to both Victoria park and kelvingrove park.
“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: 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: I grew up with dogs my whole life from Huskies to Chow/labs and currently have an 8 year old Boston Terrier that I trained myself from a puppy. Love dogs energy and affection. Just moved to Glasgow from Canada with my Boston Terrier always out for walks and adventures and would love for him to make some new friends. I have a fenced yard and live close to open fields with plenty of good walking trails. Live within walking distance to off leash dog park.
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.
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!
About: I have one years experience in emergency veterinary medicine, five years in general practice for small animals, and have cared for community members fur babies for all my life. I am accustomed to all variety of needs per client and focus on the best care for each pet. I'm off school currently so I have endless free time for your fur baby! Other than checking on my kitty during the day there is nothing else keeping my attention. I have a fenced garden, plenty of pedestrian access and park access for walks and playtime outdoors. I can easily crate any fur baby as needed and have plenty of room for all pets large and small.
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: 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'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
Pet owners share their Rover experiences - East Dunbartonshire
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.
I can highly recommend Nina. She was just lovely and so good at looking after our energetic puppy in our home for 3 days. Lots of walks and fun play with fab photos. She was so respectful of our home and left it tidy and clean. Wilma had a great time and we will certainly be booking her again!
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!
As this was our first time being away from Ollie for a weekend, we were so nervous leaving him. Fallon put our worries to ease and took such great care of our cheeky boy! We were so glad to see Ollie was having a great time from all the photo and video updates. We can’t thank Fallon enough! We will definitely book again :)

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.
