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.
“Fallon obviously has tons of vetinary experience! It was just a meet and greet but she was happy to carry out a BG and insulin injection. She also was unfazed to help in the early mornings and also with some weekend evenings and occasional house sits. My overall impression was of someone totally competent with a complete passion for animals. I am nervous leaving my cats but I would totally trust Fallon and I will definitely arrange some house sits for the future.”
“Lisa was absolutely lovely and did a fantastic job of looking after our cat whilst we were away. He's normally very nervous around people and tends to hide but he took to Lisa straight away. We really appreciated the updates and photos, and will definitely book again in the future. Thank you Lisa 😊”
“Kathryn went above and beyond to ensure that all ran smoothly whilst we were away. It was apparent that she had spent time with and engaged with Daisy and everything was in perfect order for our return. Would highly recommend:)”
“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.”
“From our Meet and Greet , we hoped Dougal would be happy and settled. We came home from our first day , after Kathryn's first visit to a relaxed and happy puppy. He is a typical rescue puppy , but Kathryn was gentle and kind and very sensitive to his needs. If i could give her six stars , I would.”
“Robyn has been amazing from start to finish - she met my friend who was passing her the keys a day early to meet Frankie for a smooth handover. She sent me photos every day and gave him loads of cuddles, and spent a bit of extra time with him when she had spare time one day. Honestly, 10/10 recommend. My friend who passed her the keys also said how lovely Robyn is in person too ♥️ Thank you for everything 🥰”
“Leaving Kevin for the first time left us feeling anxious, but Dee provided an amazing service. Each day she sent us an update along with photos. We came home to a happy healthy boy. She even kindly watered our herbs. Absolutely five star!”
About: I have over 40years experience with dogs of all different breeds. I will respect your wishes with regards to feeding, walking, training etc and will treat your pet with the same love and affection as you do while trying to maintain the same routine while they are boarding with me. I live in Bearsden only a 10 minute drive to Mugdock which is a fantastic place to exercise your pet. I also visit various other parks and have a good number of local walks to keep your pet active 🐾🐕 I have successfully passed 2 training courses with the Institute of Modern Dog Training (IMDT).Dog ownership should be fun and enjoyable and I can help you achieve this. I am more than happy to help with any training for any dogs in my care. I have full security clearance (Enhanced Disclosure Scotland) and available for both walks and boarding, I am also happy to look after more than one dog if they are from the same family. If you are looking for someone who is trustworthy and reliable to walk or board your dog please don’t hesitate to get in touch to discuss your requirements. I work Monday to Friday gardening and I take the dogs with me in my van. I have found they enjoy traveling in the van and get exercise in different gardens as well as stops in different parks. All my gardening clients know I look after dogs and are happy to have them in their gardens. I live in a quiet modern estate with a fence back garden. There are numerous local walk for dogs the I frequent throughout their stay.
“Danielle looked after my puppy who had the best time with her! I loved receiving the many pictures and videos from Danielle playing with my Lola and felt such relief knowing she was in such great hands! Danielle had great communication with me throughout her time caring for my puppy and I was so glad to feel as calm as I did when she was with my pup! Would definitely recommend Danielle to others and will be booking again. Thank you!”
About: I have had dogs and cats my entire life. I am experienced with large dog breeds mostly and happy to assist with training if needed. I currently work from home full time and will be on maternity leave for 12 months from December so will have a flexible schedule to fit many needs I have a fenced garden with artificial grass, stones and paved area. I live near many nature walks and parks which are easily accessible for adventures with pups
About: I don’t have any professional experience however, my family has had dogs since I was born. We have had a collie and 2 golden retrievers, I do also have a dog of my own which is a collie/retriever/german shepherd mix. I have experience looking after a variety of dogs from a mastiff/rottweiler cross to a Dachshund. Please note we may board up to two dogs from separate owners at a time. I work Monday to Friday 9am - 5pm, my partner can also provide help caring for your fluffy friends if I am unavailable. I can drive and have a car so last minute help is no problem. We live very close to many different walks and we are always happy to drive to longer walking spots for more energetic dogs if they enjoy a bit more.
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: Hi, we're Kathryn and John. We are a couple living in Glasgow with our 2 pets, a cat and a dog. Kathryn has grown up around dogs and has had a few in my life so far. John has had cats for years and we are both big animal lovers. We currently have a 2 year old Goldendoodle named Luna who will be friends with literally anyone who looks at her lol. If your dog is friendly and would like to have a companion on their walk, Luna will happily tag along. If your dog is not so keen on other dogs, Luna is perfectly happy sitting at home on her own for an hour or two so she won't be offended lol. We have trained our own dog to be very well behaved on walks and are more than happy to follow any rules or specific training you have with your dogs to keep them safe and happy throughout their walks. Kathryn is in a wheelchair with a sturdy leash attached for our own dog, so John will be the one who will collect your dog for their walk if there are any stairs involved. Neither of us work so we are free pretty much 24/7. Our daily routine includes taking our own dog for 2-3 walks a day and standard daily household chores. On Wednesday evenings, John is playing away from 5:30pm-8pm. On Thursday evenings, Kathryn is away from 5pm-9pm. On Friday evenings, John is away from 4-7pm. These are the only times where it would be one of us walking your dog is required. Any other time, there will be 2 of us (3 if Luna is allowed to join lol) We do not offer boarding in our home due to us having a cat as well who will not be friendly with strange dogs in the house.
About: With my Dad who races pigeons and an Auntie who rescues dogs and used to volunteer with The Dog's Trust, I am one of the lucky ones who has grown up around animals their entire life. We kept budgies and rabbits, a dog and a cat. I had neighbours who asked me to look after their guinea pig, and another who asked me to look after their Yorkshire Terrier, I have wide experience with different animals and on different terms, including overnight stays and daily meal time visits, or just as a companion for a few hours. My boyfriend is always catching me talking to various dogs and our cats when we are out on walks. I'm currently working from home as a freelance photographer which gives me a pretty flexible weekly routine. I live close to a number of parks for walks, but also close to public transport for home visits.I As previously mentioned, I have been entrusted with things like staying overnight to look after a friend's cats, dropping by to check in with pet wellbeing and keeping them company for a few hours and dishing up meal time. Additionally, as someone very fond of nature, dog walks are something I really miss about moving to the city from the Scottish Highlands where I grew up with said cat, dog, rabbits, budgies and pigeons.
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: Along with taking care of my family dog for over 10 years, I have just completed my veterinarian degree. As I wait to find a job, I would love to spend my extra time with your furry friends, whether that is on a walk, playing inside, or cuddling up on the couch. Currently job hunting, so very flexible to do that anywhere. Whether after going on a walk with your dog, or while cuddling your cat, my hours are flexible. I think it is essential to make sure that your dog gets time outside (if you agree) whether it's a walk down the road, playing in your backyard or going somewhere in the woods. I make it a priority to make sure I give dogs and cats plently of fun stimulation while sitting. In addition, when I am with your pet they have my full attention. I love cuddles or playing with toys and I most definitely talk to them as if they are a human hanging out with me:)
About: I have grown up with pets all my life and currently have a dog of my own, so I understand how important it is to make sure your pets are happy, safe and well cared for. I absolutely love animals, especially dogs, and I would treat your pet with the same care and attention I would give my own. I am a friendly, caring and responsible person who enjoys spending time with animals. I am happy to provide lots of attention, playtime, cuddles and walks, depending on what your pet needs. I understand that every dog has a different personality and routine, so I would always take the time to get to know them and make sure they feel comfortable around me. I currently work 3 shifts a week 12hr shifts however my timetable for each week changes so I am free different days of the week I have an fenced garden and a cosy area for the dogs where my dog sleeps we have lots of dog toys and yummy treats as well
About: I’ve always had an affinity with animals, predominantly cats and dogs. Currently have a 3 year old patterdale terrier I’ve trained myself. She’s super sociable and great with anxious dogs. I’m currently working part time from home and have time to look after more animals. Already I am out and about often with my own pup who is quite the adventurer. Happy to spend some time looking after more pets. I will treat your pet as I would my own, they will have space if they want to chill on their own or are more than welcome to hang out together.

We have used Jack a few times now to look after our two cats, Pudding and Ziggy, and we honestly couldn't recommend him highly enough. Jack is already very familiar with their individual diets and routines, but we always meet up beforehand to exchange keys and go over their care instructions and anything that may have changed. He's friendly, reliable and incredibly easy to deal with. Pudding and Ziggy both get on really well with Jack. He's gentle and kind with them and always makes time to play with them during his visits, which we really appreciate. He followed all of their feeding routines and instructions perfectly, and we had complete peace of mind knowing they were being looked after properly. He also sends us daily photo and video updates, which is especially lovely when we're away. It was reassuring to see two happy cats enjoying themselves while we were busy with our wedding! 🥰🐾 When we came home, we had two very happy and well-cared-for cats, which is really all you can ask for. Thank you so much, Jack, for always taking such great care of Pudding and Ziggy. We will definitely continue to use you in the future and would wholeheartedly recommend you to anyone looking for a kind, trustworthy and reliable cat sitter. ❤️🐱🐱
Lucas is the best sitter you and your cat(s) could wish for: kind, reliable and very good at communicating when you’re away, Lucas does not only look after your cat(s) brilliantly. He also offers to do things of his own initiative, which is very helpful and puts your mind at ease when you’re not at home. We will definitely see him again! Thank you Lucas!
Miriam was amazing at looking after our cat. I was a bit apprehensive as I hadn't left him alone before but was so glad to have found Miriam, she made sure our car was fed and happy and actually was attentive with him. Miriams communication and updates were great too, always sending some pictures to see and letting us know what cats up to. Miriam has a great and kind enegry, Highly recommend.
Another great visiting service from Hannah, took care of our three cats with no issues. One cat has various medicine requirements so not an easy task. Flat was in great condition when when we came back too. Would defo use Hannah again very happy with how she is with our cats 🙂
If I could give 10 stars out of 5, I would. This was my first time leaving Charlie boy with a cat sitter, and Nina was a reassuring and experienced cat sitter. She went above and beyond with detailed updates, plus better pictures of Charlie in one day than I get in a month! Charlie is a wee old man who’s fussy with food, litter tray cleanliness, and his medication, but Nina handled everything like the pro she is. Nina was also very accommodating of my request to take care of Charlie for an extra day last minute. Overall, Nina comes highly Charlie and Renee approved!
Liz is a wonderful sitter. She is kind and considerate with the cats. She communicates very well with the owners and sends beautiful photographs, putting your mind at ease. We returned to find our cats relaxed and happy. We’re will definitely see Liz again! Thank you Liz 😊
Fallon is the most amazing person. She took care of my cat for days and kept him happy. And when my cat had an emergency, she came home an extra time, took him to the vet by herself while kept me informed the whole time, gave him meds and went out of her way last minute to stay overnight at my house to keep an eye on him. I’m the most grateful for Fallon and I couldn’t recommend her enough. My cat was extremely distressed screaming and I was away unable to do anything so been able to contact her and have her take him to the vet was simply amazing. Fallon, thank you for everything 🙏

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in East Dunbartonshire on Rover is £14 per Visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between £12 and £23 per Visit.
sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

Yes. There are up to 1,930 pet sitters offering care in and around East Dunbartonshire. To find a sitter who is available during your working hours, enter your address, select the days and time slots when you need care, and review matching local profiles.
Depending on the sitter’s schedule, you may be able to arrange a one-off visit or recurring care on selected days of the week. Confirm the visit timing and frequency before booking, as availability and service areas vary by sitter.
You can book overnight boarding with a local sitter on Rover, where your pet stays in the sitter’s home while you're away. If your pet is more comfortable staying at home, house sitting or scheduled drop-in visits might be a better fit.
Consider how much company and supervision your pet needs, how they respond to unfamiliar homes, and how long you'll be away. Review each sitter’s profile and arrange a Meet & Greet before booking.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a key safe. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalised codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
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.
Every sitter must complete an identity verification process before listing their services on Rover. This process checks that the sitter’s identity matches their provided documents.
Identity verification doesn't assess a sitter’s experience or suitability for your pet. To see if a sitter is the right fit, you can review each sitter's profile for ratings, verified reviews, repeat pet owner information and care style. We also recommend arranging a Meet & Greet to discuss your pet’s needs and make sure the sitter is the right fit before booking.
For more details, visit our Trust & Safety page.
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who've never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover, but you're welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you've previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you're booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you'll have a chance to go 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. A Meet & Greet is a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three- or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-in visits, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12.00 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our booking protection will kick in. This means you'll get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
