“Jade took wonderful care of Leo and Thomas while we were away. She was attentive, patient, and clearly understands cats and their personalities. We loved receiving updates and could see how relaxed and happy they were with her. It’s not easy to trust someone with your pets, but Jade made it effortless. Highly recommended.”

About: I have grown up with pets and my passion aside from working in healthcare is caring for animals. I have cared for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and temperaments, including feeding, administering medications, walks, playtime, and providing a calm, safe environment when owners are away. I have experience with high-energy dogs who need plenty of exercise and with shy pets who need extra patience and gentle care. I’ve also helped family and friends with pet sitting, giving me hands-on knowledge in managing multiple pets, maintaining feeding schedules, and ensuring their routines stay consistent to keep them happy and stress-free. ⸻ 🌟 What Sets Me Apart • Reliable & Communicative – I send regular updates and photos so you can relax while you’re away. • Calm, Patient Approach – I take time to understand each pet’s unique needs and personality. • Active Lifestyle – I love walking and playing, so your dog will get plenty of exercise and stimulation. • Clean & Respectful in Your Home – I leave your space tidy and your pets content. • Flexible Availability – I can adapt to your schedule, whether you need daily visits, overnight care, or last-minute bookings. I’m currently working remotely and flexible hours. Therefore, no request is too much. I am happy to discuss and accommodate to you and your pets needs. When caring for pets in clients’ homes, I prioritise creating a safe and trusting environment by respecting their space and following all instructions carefully, including feeding, litter box cleaning, medications, and maintaining their usual routines to reduce stress. I always check that doors, windows, and gates are secure to keep pets safely inside and use their own bowls, beds, and toys for comfort. I ensure they get the right balance of attention, playtime, and quiet time, especially for shy cats who need patience. I also send regular updates and photos so owners can relax knowing their pets and home are in caring, responsible hands.

I carefully follow owner instructions, maintain clean, pet-safe spaces, and ensure dogs feel comfortable, exercised, and stress-free.

Pet owners share their Rover experiences - East Dunbartonshire
I had a fairly chaotic 72 hours and Iain was fantastic! He took on the booking last minute, was incredibly thorough, making sure he knew all the ins and outs of my somewhat fussy cat. I got regular updates with pictures and when I had to cut my trip short due to a family emergency Iain was again very helpful and flexible. I would happily get Iain to look after my cats again in the future!
Grace and Kaiden were ideal cat-sitters. Came for an initial visit to introduce themselves to Alfie and get to know where he does what in the flat so they knew his routines. Communication throughout the booking was fantastic and I got lots of pictures of a very happy little cat alongside some useful caring info. Will definitely book again next time I'm away, thanks!
Danielle did a fabulous job of looking after my beloved blind cat Humbug. He can be timid with people he doesn’t know but he absolutely loved her and was very happy and confident when I arrived home. Her updates were brilliant and I knew he was in really capable hands. I’d give her 10 stars if I could and would definitely book her again 😊
Jade is an amazing cat sitter. She is hardworking and quick to reply to messages. She provided lots of photos and gave lots of pets to our cat. She can deal with emergencies very well. She noticed that our cat wasn't using his litter tray anymore and also stopped eating and she made sure to stay with him during feeding time to help him eat again and cleaned his mess on our floors. Our cat is happy and safe. We cannot thank Jade enough and will definitely book her again in the future. Thank you again for everything.
Hannah took amazing care of Winston again during a repeat booking. She goes above and beyond, making sure he is entertained and has activities to enjoy throughout the day. We received updates and photos after the visits, which we really appreciated. Thanks again!

If you live in a flat, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or lift etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
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.
