We were absolutely delighted with the care our cats received. Claire is reliable, thorough, and clearly has a lovely way with animals. All the jobs we asked for were done exactly as needed, and it was such a relief knowing the cats were in good hands. The cats took to Claire quickly and were very content when we returned home.

About: Hi, I’m Gillian. I’m a lifelong dog lover and have had dogs as part of my family since I was a young child. As a mum of two children and two much-loved dogs, I understand that every dog deserves to be treated with the same love, patience and care as our own. I work as a property investor, which means I have a flexible schedule and spend much of my time at home. This allows me to provide plenty of attention, companionship and exercise, whether your dog is staying with us, coming for daycare or joining me for a walk. I’ve taken the time to educate myself on positive, reward-based dog training methods and believe that calm, consistent handling helps dogs feel safe and secure. My aim is to provide a happy, relaxed environment where your dog can settle in, have fun and receive lots of love while you’re at work or away on holiday. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I promise to care for your dog as if they were one of my own. I have recently left a 9 to 5 job to focus on property investing and working for myself. This allows me to be at home more often although I do go out but only for a few hours at a time. We take our own dogs for a walk first thing in the morning, around lunchtime and before bedtime. If your dog was boarding with us they would follow the same routine. I can be available for pet visits and dog walking throughout the day either for short, local walks or can take them to the nearest park or open area for a long walk/run to suit. My dogs love the ball thrower so can keep them entertained for as long as needed! I have a fenced garden with lots of space to run around! I have 2 dogs of my own - cocker spaniel and a border collie and they love having friends to play with. For boarding I will take 1 dog at a time or 2 if from the same household. For day care I can take up to 3 dogs at a time. If needed I can keep dogs separate as I have a converted garage in the garden. I can administer medication if needed and provide any specific treats. I’m happy to send pictures and updates to you and can tailor walks and routines to suit your dog’s needs as appropriate.

Hollie did a wonderful job looking after my puppy. All of my instructions were followed, and I even received lots of photos and updates letting me know everything was okay. I was nervous about leaving my puppy with someone but Hollie helped me feel at ease and put all my worries to rest.

About: I've had dogs since I was a child. Our very first dog was a poodle called Noodle that we got when I was 10, but I'd been pretending to have dogs long before that so I felt well prepared! I'm a huge dog lover and understand how important your dog is to you as an integral member of your family. Similarly, I treat the dogs in my care like my very own family members - you can be rest assured that they will get all the love and affection they deserve! I understand exactly the care, attention and effort it takes to look after a pet. I have my own dog, a 3-year old cockapoo called Bebop, who we've had since she was a puppy. From training to grooming to vet visits, I really understand first hand what is needed to take care of your dog. Our dog has allergies and stomach issues, and so I'm very comfortable working to your dog's own special requirements. I have experience with senior dogs too, as I frequently look after my mum's 11-year old min pin. I have plenty of time during the week and at the weekends, and I'm very happy to take last minute bookings. I'm based in the Southside of Glasgow and I have a car, so I usually walk around Queens Park, Pollok Park or Maxwell Park. However, if you have any kind of preference, I'm happy to accommodate! I have my own dog who is very friendly and sociable, but I understand that not all dogs are suited to walking with others. I'm very happy to take your lead on what you feel is best for your dog, and I'm pleased to provide a 1 on 1 service. Expect lots of love, attention and playfulness (if that's what your dog enjoys!).

About: I’m a dog lover based in Glasgow Southside, living with my husband and my 7 year old Cockapoo, Grace. I’ve been caring for dogs my whole life, both my own and those of friends and family, and that experience has shaped my calm, reliable and attentive approach to pet care. I first signed up as a Rover sitter while living in Copenhagen where I built up a lovely group of regular clients and provided weekly afternoon walks, drop-in visits and boarding, caring for dogs of all ages, breeds and personalities. I loved getting to know each dog individually and becoming a trusted part of their routine and am looking forward to doing the same here now that I’m back home in Glasgow. I’ve cared for dogs ranging from playful puppies to sleepy seniors and have experience with a wide variety of temperaments and needs. I’m also qualified in canine first aid, giving me the knowledge and confidence to respond appropriately in the unlikely event of an emergency. As a dog owner myself, I understand the trust involved in leaving your beloved pet with someone else. I take pride in offering professional, compassionate and personalised care. I currently work part-time from home which gives me the flexibility to provide dog walking, drop-in visits and boarding, with plenty of attention, exercise, cuddles and company throughout the day. I work part-time (weekday mornings) from home meaning I can offer lots of attention, playtime and cuddles through the day. My afternoons, evenings and weekends are flexible. I live in a ground floor flat with access to a shared garden, perfect for quick outdoor breaks. I’m also just a short walk away from Linn Park, Queens Park and Kings Park, and also often take trips to the beach (Grace’s favourite!!!) Your dog is welcome to make themself at home on the sofa or by my side, but there’s also a quiet separate room if they prefer their own space. We also have a puppy gate if needed, ensuring a calm and secure environment for everyone.

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.

About: Hi, I’m Linda. Lovely to meet you. I absolutely love spending time with dogs. They are the best animals in the world and in my opinion simply make life better. I’ve had dogs all my life and my first toy was a Snoopy (which I still have!). To say I’m obsessed with dogs is probably an understatement. I would love to have the opportunity to walk and care for your dog. Entrusting your pet to a stranger can be a very daunting experience. I’m happy to meet for a chat, interact with your dog and ensure you are happy before undertaking any walks alone with them. Last year I lost my precious beagle Pete after 14 wonderful years together. He was so unbelievably special and I miss him every single day. Growing up I had a golden retriever and also a cocker spaniel. My first happy memories involved dogs and that has continued throughout my life I work part-time every Tuesday and Thursday. Outwith this for the past four years I’ve helped care for my mum who has Alzheimer’s. Sadly she has recently gone into permanent care which means I have a little more time to dedicate to doggies. I have a very large, fully enclosed garden. My own dog Pete loved the garden to run around in and I often look after friends or relatives dogs. It’s an absolute dream for them to explore and enjoy. Fresh water is always available in garden bowls and if the weather is good it’s al fresco doggy dining. It’s so important to make a dog feel safe. They cannot trust you unless they feel that safety.

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.

About: I’ve had dogs since I was 4 years old, so caring for them has always been a big part of my life. I’m confident with feeding, walking, playing, giving lots of attention, and understanding each dog’s individual personality and needs. I know how important it is to treat every pet like a member of the family, and I’ll make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m reliable, patient, and genuinely love spending time with animals. My own dog has separation anxiety, so I understand how important patience, consistency, and reassurance are. I know every dog is different, and I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routine to help them feel safe and comfortable while you’re awa As a nursing student, I have a flexible schedule outside of my lectures and will keep my availability updated. I’m happy to provide dog walks and drop-in visits, and I’ll always communicate clearly and send regular updates with photos after every visit. Your pet’s safety and wellbeing are my top priorities. I’ll carefully follow your instructions, including feeding routines, medication, walking routes, and any special requirements. I understand that every pet is different, and because one of my own dogs has separation anxiety, I know the importance of patience, consistency, and making pets feel safe and comfortable. I’ll treat your home with respect and care for your pet as if they were my own.

About: I’m very passionate about animals and grew up around cats and dogs. When I was 14 years old I started walking family friends' dogs as a summer job. I am reliable, trustworthy, friendly and a genuine animal lover. I can assure that your pets will be in good hands with me, and I’ll treat them with love and care as if they were my own. I've been working part-time in a dog daycare for 4+ years, where I can attend up to 10 dogs at a time by myself, in a safe and fun environment. I have achieved multiple certifications from the IMDT (Institute of Modern Dog Trainers) by taking their courses in canine body language, separation anxiety, enrichment and canine first aid. I am a freelancer & part time employee, therefore my calendar is pretty flexible during the week. I am happy to house sit / dog walk on weekends, too. I will care about your pets and your homes as if they were mine. I’m clean, tidy and most importantly very attentive that the pets are safe at all times.

We had a fantastic experience with Shirley, who has taken great care of our cat Bonnie. What makes Shirley stand out is how dedicated she is to her work - taking lots of time to get to know her human and feline clients and understanding what we most need. Shirley has been excellent at communicating and informing us of Bonnie's progress while we were away. We got home to a cat who was happy and settled, having received lots of care from attention from Shirley. Highly recommended.

Chelsea was absolutely brilliant! She took care of our two cats for five days over our wedding. Knowing they were well looked after at home was a massive help - especially since we had so much else to plan! And checking in on Chelsea's pictures and messages ended up being a great opportunity for us to have some cosy relaxed time together in amongst all the chaos! Our cats are bengals so they're quite active, so it was really great that Chelsea gave them a good play and run around - definitely wasn't just a case of dropping in and leaving some food out 😁 Thanks again Chelsea, appreciate it!!!

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Emergency support is available by phone or email in English, French, German, and Spanish from Mon-Sat 9am to 6pm. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a qualified vet or offer other resources to help.

If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s booking protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
