About: I have experience dog walking and pet sitting for a neighbour, including weekly 45-minute walks and in-home care for a puppy Westie. I also volunteer at a doggy daycare where I assist with around eight dogs at a time, supporting play, supervision, and enrichment activities in both indoor and outdoor secure environments. I have hands-on experience with reactive, anxious, and medically sensitive dogs through caring for my own 23kg rescue dog, including managing leash reactivity, arthritis, and dietary needs. This has given me confidence handling strong, excitable dogs and adapting care to each animal’s individual needs. I am calm, reliable, and very attentive to safety and wellbeing, and I have a strong long-term passion for animal care and rehabilitation. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine. I have a regular commitment every Thursday morning from 9:45am–12:00pm where I walk and care for a neighbour’s dog, so I’m unavailable during this time each week. Outside of that, I’m flexible with bookings depending on the day and notice given. I also live with my mum and we share care of our dog, who has three walks a day. I usually take on one of these walks per day and this is already built into my routine so it doesn’t affect my availability for other pet care bookings. Although I live at home I will be doing this myself and have years of experience walking dogs alone. I also volunteer at a doggy daycare on a weekly basis, which is flexible and arranged around my availability, so I can adjust this when needed. Overall, I’m organised and reliable, and I make sure each pet gets the time and care they need. When caring for pets in an owner’s home, I always prioritise safety, routine, and making the pet feel as comfortable as possible. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding, walking, and any specific care needs, and I make sure doors, gates, and leads are always secure. I’m confident handling dogs of different sizes and temperaments, including reactive or anxious dogs, due to my experience with my own rescue dog and working with dogs in daycare settings. I aim to keep pets calm and happy by sticking to their normal routine as much as possible, giving them attention when they want it and space when they need it. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always make sure the environment is safe, clean, and stress-free while their owner is away.
“Claire was absolutely wonderful with our boy Stanley! She looked after him for a few days while we were away getting married and she instantly put our minds at ease. She came over to grab the keys and meet Stan beforehand and you can just tell she truly cares about all her wee cat clients! Thank you so much, Claire! :)”
“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!”
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!
“Sana was super helpful and attentive whilst we were away. She went above and beyond what was expected of her, and we felt very safe leaving Jada in her care. She sent photos and videos of Jada every day. Would highly recommend her to everyone!”
“Rachel did an amazing job with Bella and Luna. She was such a lovely girl and was very helpful and kind. She sent video and photo updates and they were happy being stroked and fussed over by Rachel. Would definitely recommend and will be using Rachel in the future. ”
“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've taken care of dogs and cats since a young age. I am an energetic, animal lover who just wants to make sure your pets are well looked after when you're away or in need of some extra help. Im currently working 2 part time jobs so I always have gaps in my availability especially in the evenings. I am very flexible when needed. I have trained my dog to recall upon command and am very comfortable walking her off leash in public places. Although you may not be comfortable with that I will always conform to the needs of every owner.
“Charlotte was great, totally reliable and loving towards our cat. She went above and beyond to care for Daisy. We loved the photos too. We came home to a contented cat. Would highly recommend Charlotte to any pet owner.”
“Keli looked after our cat Tigger for 8 days whilst we were on holiday. Tigger is 14 and very set in his ways - Keli was brilliant with him and her daily feedback allowed us to enjoy our break without worrying too much. Highly recommend her and will definitely use her again.”
“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'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.
About: I’ve grown up having dogs my whole life and began pet-sitting and dog walking when I was around 16. I have looked after a range of dogs for friends, family and neighbours. I absolutely adore dogs and love going on long (or short) walks with them. I work part time, with a fairly flexible work schedule. I can easily schedule walks, play time, and cuddles with your pet throughout my day. I have a spacious home with a large grass area at the front. I have 2 cats at home but they are very chilled and friendly with other pets
About: While my main experience is with cats, I’ve had the joy of caring for a friend’s dog for three months and currently help look after another dog once a week. I’m calm, patient, and happy to follow your dog’s specific routine and needs. Whether it’s a relaxed walk or quiet companionship, I’ll make sure your dog feels safe, respected, and cared for. Pet care fits easily into my routine as I currently don’t have a full-time job. I volunteer one day a week at a local pantry, but aside from that, I’m available every day. This gives me the flexibility to focus fully on each pet I care for and to adapt to different schedules and needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always take time to build trust at their own pace and make sure they feel calm and secure in their own home or during walks. I treat every animal with kindness, patience, and respect—just like a member of the family.
About: I’ve 10+ years experience pet- sitting horses, dogs, cats, rabbits, & other animals. I’m a veteran pet owner, with the capacity to manage multiple animals at once & give them all my love & more!! I’m a frequent overnight petsitter & can give a pet as much space or attention as he or she needs. I’m also versed in administering medication to animals of any age. I am not fearful of aggressive or hyperactive or high energy animals. I’m virtually fearless when engaging with animals, and can utilize a gentle touch when appropriate as well. I’m happy to exercise with pets, snuggle with them, or manage their anxiety in the absence of their best friends :) I am versed in the maintenance of feeding & sleeping schedules as well.

Kirsteen was absolutely brilliant! Booked for 2 visits a day for 5 days and after each visit I got an update on Stella and lots of pics. Stella really took to Kirsteen and this was obviously from the pics that were sent. I would highly recommend Kirsteen and will have no hesitation in using her again.
Shirley was absolutely amazing ! She looked after our little Snowy perfectly ! Kept us updated every single day and sent us regular pictures and videos ! I can tell Snowy was very happy in her company and I cannot recommend her enough for her kindness and attention to details ! I wish I could have her come everyday even when we are around 😄 ! You’ll definitely have peace of mind with Shirley around !
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
Keli looked after our cat Tigger for 8 days whilst we were on holiday. Tigger is 14 and very set in his ways - Keli was brilliant with him and her daily feedback allowed us to enjoy our break without worrying too much. Highly recommend her and will definitely use her again.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in East Renfrewshire on Rover is £13.8 per Visit (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
Many sitters respond to requests in under an hour. Whether you are planning ahead for public holidays, need last-minute care, or same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
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.
