About: Hey! I’m Rachel. Having grown up surrounded by animals, I’ve always loved caring for pets and have plenty of experience looking after cats and young puppies. I’ve owned cats all my life, so I’m very comfortable with their different personalities, needs and routines, whether they’re playful, cuddly, shy or a little more independent. I live at home in Newton Mearns, and my own cat, Akila, is the one in my profile picture, as you can see, she absolutely loves a cuddle! 🐱❤️ My mum has been looking after cats through this site for years, and I always loved going with her from a young age to help out, so I wanted to follow in her footsteps and start pet sitting myself. I’m reliable, caring and would treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m also happy to spend time playing with pets, giving them plenty of attention and making sure they feel comfortable and happy while their owners are away. I’m currently working part-time as I have just graduated from Edinburgh uni, I have plenty of spare time and would love to look after more animals! I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable and settled in their own environment. When visiting a pet owner’s home, I’m happy to follow their usual routine, including feeding times, playtime, walks and any other care they need.
About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life, studied animal management, and run my own trusted local service. I’m experienced with all dogs – seniors, nervous pups, and giving medication safely. Reliable, gentle, and always treat every pet like my own. This is my full‑time focus, so I plan my days around your pets! 🐾 I’m fully flexible — available every day, evenings, and weekends for walks or home visits. I always keep my schedule organised, show up on time, and make sure every single dog or cat gets all the time, care, and attention they deserve. I always visit pets in their own home to keep them calm and settled. I’m fully insured, super careful, and follow all your routine, feeding, and care instructions exactly – I treat every pet with kindness and respect.
About: I’ve had dogs all my life. Most recently my parents have 2 wire fox terriers which I frequently look after. I take them at least 3 long walks a week and I have trained them both since they were puppies! I have experience with anxious/reactive dogs. Neighbours/ friends also often ask me to check in on their dogs to play or go a walk. I currently work Monday- Thursday so would be available for boarding Thursday night- Saturday unless your dogs used to being home alone during the day in which case could do midweek too. I have a fenced garden and no dogs in the house. I’m happy to crate your dog if they are crate trained. I have experience with anxious dogs.
“Camilla is a complete delight. She took time out of her day to do a little meet and greet with our dogs a few days before she looked after them and they fell in love with her instantly. The care she took of them for the day we booked was perfect, we left them knowing they were in the best of care. She played with them and snuggled with them and they were so happy with her. We will definitely use Camilla again and I highly recommend her. The easiest ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ever. Thank you Camilla. We 💜 you xx”
About: I grew up with both cats and dogs as part of my family. Caring for them is second nature and a joy. Have cared for pets from little pups to wee old lads, kittens and cats included. Experience with outdoor and indoor cats. Currently I do not have my own pet, so would love spend some time with yours! I have experience in puppy training, have access to a secure back garden and a larger enclosed garden at the front too. I live close to multiple parks and great outdoor spaces for walking. I have a very flexible schedule which allows me to be at home. Currently I am available to suit most time schedules and needs.

I am close to a variety of large outdoor parks and walking spaces. It also has easy transport links for drop in/drop off etc. My flat is on the ground floor which helps with any training or quick outdoor access. I have space for pet beds, litter trays and all the accessories. If your pet comes stay my space is their space and I aim to make it a great place for them.
“Ian has a really lovely natural way with dogs. Loki took to him instantly. I felt reassured that Loki was being well looked after whilst I attended my mum's funeral. He followed instructions. I will certainly book him again. Thank you”

I currently have enclosed dog park spaces most days and also have a secure car and a lot of dog training kit to ensure your pup is always under control and comfortable in their environment.
“This is the 2nd Time Chloe has looked after Sandy and I’m so thankful for her as it was very last minute! Sandy even enjoyed her wee groom in the back garden by the looks of the photos I saw from Chloe!”
“Angela did a fabulous job looking after our energetic pup Archie whilst we were both away for a week. She gave him all of his favourite things - plenty of walks, treats and attention. We got regular updates which helped us feel reassured. We would definitely book Angela again”
“Can’t recommend Orla highly enough, great communication before and during her stay with regular updates throughout. Instantly our dog took to her and we left the house confident poppy was in good hands. We will definitely be back in contact to have her home board poppy again 🥰”
“We were incredibly lucky to find Erin at the very last minute after our original sitter cancelled just before our holiday. It was a really stressful situation and we were genuinely close to cancelling the trip altogether, but Erin completely saved us. She stepped in on short notice, was reliable, kind, and immediately put our minds at ease. Throughout the stay, she was communicative and caring, and it was clear our dog was in great hands. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog sitter.”
“Bridget was fantastic! Her communication was great and she managed to put my very anxious mini dachshund at ease while we were gone. I will definitely be in touch in future & would highly recommend :)”
About: I am patient and experienced with dogs, having spent over a year helping to care for a former flatmate’s rescue dog, including daily walks, feeding, and sitting. I also have a dog of my own, so I understand how much trust you are placing in a walker. I’m calm, reliable, and genuinely love looking after dogs! I work part-time and do rotational shift work so I am pretty flexible with dates/times to look after your dog. I have my work schedule provided months in advance so can accommodate bookings easily. I live in a flat which provides space for your dog to roam around and feel comfortable in. There is no garden but I’m very close to large amounts of green space (> 5 min walk).
“Natasha was the perfect dog sitter! Wallace was clearly very happy with her, she sent regular updates, great communication, and left our place spotless. The photos she took of Wally were beautiful! We will definitely use Natasha again without hesitation in the future, it was so reassuring to know that Wally and our flat were in a really great pair of hands while we were away.”
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!
“Phoebe was so happy to see Sydney she was bouncing around and ran down stairs to meet her making happy noises . She was well looked after again and was well exercised with her ball which she loves . We got plenty pictures to ease our minds which showed us Phoebe was having such a good time without us . This is our third time using Sydney and are already looking to rebook for our nxt holiday . Would recommend Sydney to anyone needing a sitter and are happy to have her stay in our home to look after Phoebe in her own space makes it so much easier when we go away she’s not to upset about us leaving as she has her friend to come look after her”

About: Hi there, Cathal here (one of those Irish names) a television freelancer in Glasgow. I grew up with two very different dogs, one a lively Springer Spaniel and the other a gentle Maltese, so I’m used to both high-energy walks and smaller dogs that deserve just as much attention. Over the years, I’ve regularly looked after friends’ and family members’ dogs, whether that’s daily walks, overnight stays, or just keeping them company while their owners are away. It never feels like a chore and it’s always feels rewarding when they are comfortable while being away. I’ve recently moved to the Southside of Glasgow and I’m just a five-minute walk from Queen’s Park, with a big walled garden at the flat too, so I’d love the opportunity to look after more dogs and make the most of being so close to the park. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, I’m reliable, attentive, and will always treat your dog like they’re my own. You can expect regular updates, plenty of care, and lots of waggy tails . If you’re looking for someone friendly, responsible, and genuinely excited to spend time with your dog, I’d love to hear from you! I am currently working fully remotely from home so will have plenty of time for your dogs attention! For dog walking, I love an early stroll before work or getting my steps in, during the evenings. I have a spacious open plan flat with a large walled garden. I’m also a five minute walk from Queens Park, so plenty of room for long walks (and maybe a puppuccinoon the way home)

Pet owners share their Rover experiences - East Renfrewshire
I couldn't have asked for more friendly, reliable sitters. The boys were very well looked after and I was updated daily on how they were getting on. I had to make this booking every last minute and really appreciate how straightforward that was. Would definitely recommend!
I Would like to thank Cara so much for taking care of Buddy. Along with other health issues Buddy was diagnosed with heart failure a week before I was due to go on holiday, so I was in two minds whether to go. In the end I did go and Cara made my time away so much easier. Buddy was well looked after by Cara and had the best time with Cara, her family and her dogs. Cara kept me updated each day with messages in the morning and bedtime as to how Buddy was, with plenty of photos, videos of their day. This put my mind at rest seeing him having fun with Cara. I would highly recommend Cara to anyone looking for their pet to be well cared for while they are on holiday 💙

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Post & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Rubbish & recycling: Taking bins out on scheduled rubbish collection days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best time to agree on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a 'home cheat sheet' that includes your preferred East Renfrewshire walking routes, the location of your favourite pet shop, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
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.
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 .
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in East Renfrewshire choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a key safe or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest vet. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorisation form for your regular vet. An authorisation form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
