“Claire was absolutely fantastic! We needed someone to look after Freddie at very short notice and she was able to do that for us. I got daily pic and video updates and Freddie was his usual happy self being well looked after at home as he hates going to the cattery. We would definitely ask if she is free again for our next trips! ”
“Both cats took to Keli right away (one tends to hide from visitors) and were very content when I got home. All care instructions followed and I could see from the pictures provided that the cats were very happy during the visits. The updates provided were very much appreciated. Thank you for looking after them so well!!”
“Cloe was fantastic with Jinx and kept me updated throughout. She made sure he was well taken care of and cleaned up after him too. I’d definitely book with her again. Thanks again, Cloe!”
“Charlie gives Ian 5 stars for his care and attention that he received whilst we were away. Communication with Ian was easy and we had lots of great updates as to how Charlie was getting on. We would totally recommend Ian to anyone and everyone. Thank you for taking such good care of Charlie.”
“Roisin and Edward have been fantastic! We organised a drop in with Fergus and we received great info/pictures and felt very confident in them. Would highly recommend and would use again!”
“I’d highly recommend Rachel. Our usual cat sitter was unavailable and we felt anxious finding someone new. Rachel was so reassuring! She responded quickly, she was punctual, professional, with great communication and very knowledgeable about animals. It was lovely to get her updates about the cats when we were away and we’ll definitely book Rachel again!”
About: I’m a friendly, caring, and responsible person with a genuine love for animals. I’ve had dogs in my home country and have always cared deeply about animals, including helping stray dogs and volunteering to support and look after them whenever I could. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I have a flexible schedule, so I can make time for walks, feeding, playtime, and giving pets the attention and company they need. I always follow the owner’s instructions and the pet’s usual routine. I make sure they are fed on time, have fresh water, get regular walks and playtime, and receive plenty of attention and affection. I also keep their environment clean, comfortable, and safe, and I’m happy to provide regular updates to the owner.
“Charlotte is a lovely young lady who it looks like Mittens has really taken too, which I was so relieved and happy about! I got plenty of photos when I was away and when I've came back everything has been perfect! Would highly recommend Charlotte and when I go away again, she would definitely be my first choice! Thank you again!”
About: 🐾💕 I'm a friendly, caring and reliable 20yr old who has always loved animals. I've grown up having pets for as long as I can remember and have experience caring for a range of animals from fish to dogs. I regularly look after pets belonging to friends and family, including caring for my own pets when family are away. 🐶 I have experience with dogs with different personalities and behaviours, including dogs that can be nervous, bark or bite. I understand the importance of being patient, attentive and understanding the needs of each individual animal. 🐱 Services that I provide include dog walking, drop in visits, and pet sitting. The care I offer can include feedings, water changes, playtime, walks, basic grooming and plenty of company. The length of my services can range anything between a ten minute to drop in to overnight stays, I'm happy to adapt to the needs of the specific animal and the service booked. 🐹 I'll follow your pets usual routine and any specific instructions that you provide. I'm also happy to send regular updates and photos whilst caring for your pets. 🐠 I'm based in East Renfrewshire and I can travel around Glasgow depending on the distance and commute. I'm happy to discuss your pets routine, personality and needs beforehand so I can provide the best possible care. 💕🐾 I’m currently working a part time job on a small contract and so have lots of spare time to dedicate to other activities! I’ll have the ability to care for the animals for extensive times. I have a fenced garden and two pets of my own, 1 cat and 1 dog. They’re friendly and compatible ( a little awkward) but once they’re comfortable, they’re great!
About: Since primary school, I have often taken care of my brother's or friends' dogs or cats, and I am very patient and careful with them! I'm currently a student at the University of Glasgow and I don't have a lot of classes this semester so I'm available every week except Tuesdays and Thursdays, but I can't easily bring them home as I live in a student flat in the city centre As I live in a student flat in the city centre, it's not convenient to bring them home. But I can take them for walks in parks, such as to the one next to Glasgow University (I go for walks in these places quite often). I'm also considering looking after them during the day at the pet owner's house.
About: I’m a lawyer who now works from home full time. I absolutely adore dogs and would love to look after your gorgeous pet 😊 I’ve owned dogs and cats since the age of 11 and absolutely love all kinds of animals. I’ve got a goofy fluffy dog who is 1 year old now and love teaching him new skills. As I work from home, I will be around at home all day so your dog is not left alone for long periods of time. I’m available for boarding, pet-sitting, drop-ins and walks most days of the week in accordance with my calendar availability. I work from home so have quite a flexible schedule. I have a house with a secure garden in Newlands close to Linn Park, Pollok Park, Newlands Park and Queens Park. Your pets will get plenty of exercise and space to play!
About: I have taken care of dogs my entire life from puppy to senior with love and compassion. I have taken care of dogs with health issues and have no problem giving them baths or whatever they need. I’m currently looking to do this full time and am very flexible at this moment in time. So looking to really kick on from here and help however I can. I will discuss all your pets needs and make a plan of action. Whether they need medication or need extra walkies I can make it work.
“Second time having Karris drop in on my cats whilst I am away. They are more familiar with her now and the pictures definitely show they are more than happy. Thank you Karris, definitely using your service again.”
About: I’m a student in the southside of Glasgow with a lifelong love for dogs! I’ve worked at a Doggy Daycare and Boarding Kennels part-time for around a year now so feel at ease around a large number of dogs. I’ve taken care of my neighbours dogs - german shepherd and golden retrievers - for as long as i can remember, walking them almost everyday over summers and whenever i can other times. I’ve also in recent years cared for them whilst my neighbours are on holiday so have plenty of experience with general day to day care of others’ pets. I have my own little dachshund Joey who i adore but doesn’t much like walking unfortunately so looking for another wee walking buddy. I work part time and am free of uni work all summer so dog-walking would just be a fun way of filling this spare time i have! I’m used to caring for dogs in their own home - they’re most comfortable and it suits me best. I do bring the dogs to my own house from time to time just to meet Joey and play outside - i’m lucky to have quite a big back garden which comes in handy!
About: I've grown up around all sorts of small animals; dogs, cats, rodents and hamsters and have lovingly cared for them since I was a child. I am comfortable around dogs of all sizes after caring for small dogs and dogs requiring a great deal of a exercise like Huskys. I can feed, bathe and orally medicate most animals. I have my own dog, an excitable Golden Retriever who I've raised from a puppy which means I'm experienced dealing with that extreme puppy energy! I am a dedicated rabbit owner and know how important it is to find someone who fully understands how to care for exotic animals. I am experienced medicating and grooming rabbits and understand the benefits of a good quality diet and place to live. During the school term, I work full time. I am available for boarding during school holidays and weekends. I am able to look after small animals in my home during the week if they do not require someone home during the day. During the summer/Easter/October holidays I will be available full time during the week and weekends. I have a medium sized fully enclosed garden for dogs to roam around and small animals to visit under supervision. I can crate animals if required, however, I am happy to have uncrated animals in my home who would sleep in the kitchen or bedroom overnight. I can accommodate nervous pets who need someone by their side day and night, as long as you let me know in advance and I can make sure my schedule is completely clear 😊 During the day, dogs are welcome to access the entire downstairs area. I have plenty of cosy spaces and couches for dogs to lounge on. Small furrys should be provided with their own pen/cage/set up and can be set up in the living room or a quiet spare room depending on your preference.
About: I have always enjoyed spending time with dogs and caring for them. I naturally take care of pets, making sure they are safe, happy, and well looked after. I enjoy going on walks and giving dogs attention and companionship. I am now starting to offer dog walking services because I genuinely love animals and enjoy being active. I treat every dog as if they were my own and always make sure they are comfortable and cared for. Pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine. I am flexible and available most days, especially mornings and afternoons. I enjoy going on daily walks, so dog walking naturally fits into my lifestyle. I can adjust my schedule to meet the needs of pet owners when needed. I always prioritize the safety and well-being of every pet I care for. When walking dogs, I make sure they are securely leashed, supervised at all times, and kept away from unsafe situations. In a pet owner’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions carefully, including feeding routines and special care needs. I aim to create a calm, trustworthy, and caring environment so pets feel comfortable and safe.

Cat owners share their Rover experiences - East Renfrewshire
I've lost track of how many times Kristeen has looked after my cat now, but she had been an excellent cat sitter every time! We always come back to a well cared for cat and she sends an update and pictures at every visit. I would heartily recommend her to everyone. Our cat can be skittish but Kristeen always wins her over! We will book with her whenever we go away if at all possible.
Both cats took to Keli right away (one tends to hide from visitors) and were very content when I got home. All care instructions followed and I could see from the pictures provided that the cats were very happy during the visits. The updates provided were very much appreciated. Thank you for looking after them so well!!
We couldn’t have been happier with the care Rachel provided for our cats! Before we left, she took the time to meet them and get to know their personalities, which gave us great peace of mind. Our cat Sophie is usually quite shy around strangers, but she warmed up to Rachel right away and seemed completely comfortable with her. Throughout our time away, Rachel sent us regular updates and photos, which reassured us that our cats were happy and well cared for. I would highly recommend Rachel to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and attentive cat sitter. We’ll definitely be booking her again in the future!
I couldn't have asked for better cat sitters than Genevieve and Rory! They sent regular updates on my cat Ziggy and he was clearly very happy in their company from the first visit as well as respectful of my home. A joy to chat with and have made me look forward to booking them again - very happy to recommend to anyone
Amber was an absolute god send for us on our recent lengthy holiday, she took excellent care of our young cat and was reliable, flexible, professional and very resourceful in dealing with issues such as the heatwave and a dead rat!! She is clearly experienced and natural with animals and became good friends with our shy little miso, it was such a load off our minds, Amber is trustworthy and approachable and we felt very safe having her in our home, we look forward to having her again and also introducing her to our rescue dog, she was very knowledgeable and understanding about nervous dogs which is a rare find. So glad we picked Amber and wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter.
Alex always does a fantastic job, and I keep booking him because he treats my cats with such kindness and attention. His daily WhatsApp updates with photos feel incredibly reassuring and make me smile while I’m away. My two cats are always content, relaxed, and full of good spirits when I come home, which tells me everything I need to know about the care he gives them. I’m truly grateful for him and couldn’t recommend him more highly.
We cannot thank or recommend Giulia enough. She noticed our boy was not peeing but trying the litter tray frequently, got in touch with us and after speaking with the vets took him and got him sorted. She was reassuring and kept us updated all the way and I honestly am so grateful for everything. Thanks so much again x

There are 671 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in East Renfrewshire. About 92% of East Renfrewshire sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter trays. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialisation or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
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 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 .
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 cat, 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.
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.
