“Marples has had a fabulous time! Ben sent photos and kept us updated as the day progressed and was also totally understanding in regards to our train running late and impacting our return time! Will recommend and will 100% be using Ben again 😊”


“Highly recommend Rachel - We recently booked her for house sitting and she did a great job with Murphy and sent us lots of photos with updates. Look forward to booking her again.”


About: I’ve always loved dogs and have plenty of experience with labradors and greyhounds, as well as cockapoos and Jack Russells. I have loads of patience for nervous pups and trained my gorgeous foster greyhound to walk upstairs and to learn to be in unfamiliar public spaces with other dogs, as well as aiding in his recovery from enduring injuries and stomach complications from before he was rescued. The comfort, safety, and health of your dog are my top priorities. I’ve looked after golden retrievers, cockapoos, and Jack Russells for days and weeks at a time. I also was inseparable from my golden Labrador Meggie from when I was 7 to when I was 20 and would love to look after your brilliant dog with the same warmth, dedication and care. I’m in the final stages of my PhD in English Literature and will be spending significant time working at home until teaching resumes in autumn. Having the company and energy of a dog to break up the day would be such a boost and I’d be ready and able to walk and play with your dog as much (or as little!) as they require. I work part-time on Tuesdays but I’m otherwise available and my partner Michael will also be on hand in the flat to take care of your furry friend when he can! I live with my partner, Michael (photo 6), who also loves dogs, in a spacious flat in the southside of Glasgow. I have a fenced backyard and close access to Queen’s Park and Linn Park, and can also drive to any parks your dog might feel more comfortable in. I’m very sensitive to the individual needs and spirit of all dogs and will do everything to ensure that they’re relaxed, happy, and cared for whenever they’re with me.

“Katie was able to help us out with an evening sit for Belle at short notice! She arrived well on time and was lovely to communicate with. Belle was happy to be with her and she was relaxed when we got back. Thanks!”


“Hannah was able to sit for our cat and dogs for 10 days while we were away om holiday. Great communication throughout. We got regular updates during our trip and the animals all looked very relaxed, happy, and well cared for. Thanks for taking such good care of them.”


“I honestly don’t think a written review can do Justina justice. I was really nervous about leaving my 4-year-old Jack Russell, Lenny, for four days—he’s never stayed with anyone outside of family. But from the moment we met Justina, he was absolutely smitten, and she was incredible with him. While I was away, Justina sent regular updates and photos, and I could tell Lenny was having the best time. She’s the perfect mix of professional and warm-hearted—her love for animals is so obvious in how she cares for them and how she communicates with you. She was also an amazing house guest. I came home to a spotless house—probably cleaner than when I left! I wouldn’t hesitate to have Justina and her partner look after Lenny again, and I’d recommend them to absolutely anyone looking for trustworthy, caring, and responsible sitters.”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs from a young age, starting with auntie and uncles dogs to most recently family dog after Covid. Although only a co-parent, always happy to house sit. I work full time from home! Able to take dogs out walks during breaks or can snooze on the couch while I type away! Can also play with and feed throughout the day as home office is in living room. I live in a top floor flat, so will dog always be indoors with no access out. Will only get out during walks or toilet breaks.

“Cloe looked after Lilo for a long weekend while I was away home! She was confident in taking on a reactive girl & made me feel really assured she was okay with this. Cloe keep in touch & provided updates & photos! My house was also pristine when I came home! I’d highly recommend Cloe & will absolutely be using her in future ☺️”


About: I’ve been a dog person since I was 11, when my first dog Lady came into my life unexpectedly and utterly changed it. She was re-homed with us when her family moved abroad and from the moment she arrived, she became my dog. That bond was instant, magical, and honestly addictive. Since then, I’ve owned, loved, boarded, walked, and cared for dogs of all shapes and sizes and my life is fuller for it. I believe dogs are basically permanently furry toddlers. They need love, routine, reassurance, stimulation, and above all someone who treats them with the same care you’d give your own child. That’s exactly the kind of care I provide. I offer a calm, safe, affectionate home environment with plenty of company, structured walks, and space to relax. I take time to get to know each dog’s personality and routine so they feel secure and at ease while you’re away. Whether they’re a nervous first timer or a seasoned house guest, I tailor care to suit them. I’m happy to stay overnight, keeping your dog comfy, safe, and spoiled in their own space. You can relax knowing your dog is safe, happy, and genuinely cared for like one of the family. My regular availability for boarding is Friday evening from 7pm to Monday evening at 7pm, ( I can collect) perfect for weekend getaways or short breaks. I also have extra time during the summer holidays and festive periods, so feel free to reach out, I’m always happy to help if I can! If boarding with me your pet will have access to a secure, fenced garden for outdoor time and play. While I don’t have crates myself, I’m more than happy for your dog to bring their own bed, crate, blankets, or comfort items, whatever helps them relax and feel at ease.

“Thank you so much for looking after Phoebe, Charlie & Floki. You really are amazing and I loved the messages and photo and video updates. I’ve never left my dogs with anyone other than family before but you’ve been amazing. I know they’ve had so much fun with you. Thank you 💕”


“Had the most relaxing, stress free holiday we've had in years all down to how well our 2 dogs took to Ashlynn. They loved her straight away and it was obvious from the start she is an animal lover. One of our dogs is not very good with strangers and even some friends of ours he has been around for years. Never goes near them for attention but he was all over Ashlynn. Worried he might even mope a bit now shes gone. She was in touch every day we were away with updates and photos which was great for us. Ashlynn was also very respectful of our home and ensured it was the way we left it. Not having to be worried while on holiday was great. We would definitely ask Ashlynn back with out hesitation. Highly, highly recommend her to look after your pets. Thank you Ashlynn for allowing us the best holiday we've had for years.”


About: Hiya! I'm a genuine, caring, and reliable animal lover with a strong commitment to providing thoughtful and attentive care to your pets. Pets have always held a special place in my heart and I understand just how important it is to feel confident and comfortable when leaving your pet in someone else's hands. The light of my life is my 2 and half year old Portuguese Water Dog, Moça. She's full of personality, friendly and gave me a crash course in everything involved in caring for a high energy dog. I have recently returned to Glasgow and now have the time and availability to dedicate myself to pet sitting and dog walking. Whether it’s a one-time walk or regular care, I’m here to give your pet the same level of love, respect, and attention that I give my own! I am currently fully available to dedicate myself to pet sitting and dog walking. Give me a message with any requests you may have and we can work together. At the moment I can only look after pets in their own homes and am fully committed to keeping open communication with each owner and follow any directions regarding the routine and care of each pet. I will provide you with regular updates and can guarantee that I will respect your home and your pets the same way I do mine.

About: Having always had dogs growing up from golden retriever, to border collies to German shepherds. I have a huge passion for dogs and creating a good healthy bond/trust with them to ensure they can feel safe and at ease around me. I have experience puppy sitting and am currently looking after a young German shepherd puppy for a family member. I can travel via cycle and live next to Kings Park which has lots of open spaces for dogs. Currently working as an activities/sports coach and am looking to fill spare time by keeping active and earning. Often, I pop into family nearby to check up on German Shepherds (Bella aged 5 + Freddy under 1 years old). I am flexible where possible with time and will always do what I can to facilitate your pets needs. Experienced with big dogs and big walks mostly and have looked after high energy pups too. Can work with crates and any specific requirements. Always have toys/treats on hand so you don't have to worry about losing their favourites!

“Róisín and Edward were lovely with my two dogs from our first meeting until the end of the week-long dogsitting arrangement. This was the first time I left Axel and Hawk for longer than a few days with someone new, while leaving the country. However, I felt relaxed as Róisín and Edward made sure to send me photos of happy dogs on walks and at home, and asked me questions if they were unsure of something (which I always appreciate!).”


“Thank you Hannah! Communication was excellent throughout, and we felt completely at ease knowing our cat was in such good hands. She clearly cared and looked after our cat really well and we came home to a happy and relaxed pet. Would definitely book with her again and highly recommend!”

I’ve looked after a range of animals, including cats, dogs, and smaller animals, and can cater to different needs, including anxious and elderly pets, that may need more patience and understanding. I love all animals, and I will go above and beyond to ensure that your pet has whatever they need, treating them like my own. I plan my schedule around the pets I’m caring for, with availability for morning and evening visits, walks, drop-ins, and overnight stays throughout the week. This work is my main focus, which allows me to be flexible and responsive. Your pets’ safety and comfort are my priority, regardless of what service I am providing. I’m fully insured, DBS checked, and trained in Pet First Aid for full safety and security and to ensure that I will be able to keep your pets fully safe.

“Isabella has a lot of experience caring for and getting on with a variety of dogs. Even when a dog can be a bit slow to trust or otherwise nervous around unfamiliar people Isabella's patience and caring demeanour always seems to win them over quickly, as was the case with a nervous Jack Russel. Isabella also has experience in longer term care for dogs especially from fostering a greyhound which received exceptional treatment from Isabella.

Heather T.
“My daughter, Heather, loves dogs. Our dog, Kohbi, who is 7, just loves it when she comes round. Before the end of the night, she has hlm out for a walk. Sometimes she takes him back to her flat for a sleepover. He loves it, she takes him to Queens Park for a good walk, stopping to meet other dog walkers. She has a very friendly nature, does a lot of steps, loves being outdoors. She is caring & efficient in everything she does. She would be a great person to have in The Rover.com family. Yours, Alister Thomson.”

Valter Felmo do Nascimento J.
“Valter has been helping with my dog Tisa for a while, taking her for walks and spending time with her when I’m too busy myself. Last month I had to go away for a week and he was the first person I asked to take care of Tisa. It could have not gone better. She looked super happy when I came back and my flat was nice and tidy as I left it. I appreciated daily updates and photos. Thank you Valter!”


Sean H.
“I can highly recommend Sean! Sean took care of my bulldog (Lilly) whilst I was abroad. He facetimed me everyday and Lilly was always happy and healthy. Normally when I go away she stops eating and sulks, but with Sean she was fine! He also walks Lilly whilst I'm at work, he works around my schedule and is trustworthy. He has a key to my house, picks up Lilly and drops her home so I don't have to worry about anything. Lilly is always super excited to see him, I think she loves him more than me!!”
