About: Hi! My name is Koko. I have lived with dogs since I was born and have kept pets throughout my life, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of who I am. Over the years, I have cared for many types of pets, including dogs, cats, birds, fish, rodents, amphibians, and reptiles. This experience has helped me understand different animal personalities and how to make them feel comfortable, safe, and happy. I have experience with many dog breeds and sizes, from small dogs such as Chihuahuas and Pomeranians to larger breeds including Mastiffs and Pit Bulls. I also have experience caring for puppies and anxious pets. Every dog is unique, and I always respect their routines, personalities, and individual needs. Taking care of dogs brings me happiness and peace, which is one of the main reasons I enjoy being a dog sitter. I provide care with love, patience, and responsibility, and I truly enjoy spending time with animals. My whole family loves animals, and we provide a calm and welcoming environment for every pet. When your pet is with me, they will be treated like part of the family. I will care for your fur baby as if they were my own, ensuring they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you are away. As a new sitter, I am offering slightly lower prices while building my reviews. I mostly work from home, which allows me to spend most of my time at home and provide consistent attention and supervision for pets in my care. This flexible schedule means I can easily incorporate walks, feeding times, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I am also generally flexible with check-in and check-out times, helping to accommodate owners’ travel plans while ensuring pets remain comfortable and well cared for. 🐾 Your dog will stay in a safe, calm, and welcoming home environment. We have a secure fenced garden, allowing dogs to enjoy fresh air, supervised outdoor time, and safe play. The home is clean, comfortable, and pet-friendly, providing a relaxing space where dogs can feel at ease. Animals have always been part of our household, and my whole family loves animals, so every pet is welcomed with kindness and care. I make sure each dog receives attention, affection, and a comfortable place to rest. I also understand that every dog has different habits and routines, so I do my best to maintain their normal schedule, including feeding times, walks, and rest periods. My goal is to help your dog feel secure, relaxed, and at home while you are away. 🐾

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.

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. Would recommend

About: Hi i’m Cara and i have been around animals all my life. I have worked with a range of animals including dogs, cats, hamsters, rabbits, reptiles and much more! I have a HNC Animal care qualification and just finished my first year in the veterinary nursing degree course. I love working with all animals and have 3 dogs of my own ranging from 3-11 years old. I have previously worked in a kennels and done lots of dog walking and dog and cat sitting during the holiday months! I am a Veterinary Nursing student who has now stopped for the summer break. I have a lot of free time now that i am not studying at the moment and my schedule is very flexible. I am able to drive so i can pick up and drop off your dogs when suitable and take them various places for walks. I am able to keep the dogs on the lead or let them off if they have good recall aswell as doing single walks or group walks!(whatever your dog prefers). I have qualifications in animal behaviour and welfare so i have learnt loads on how to read dogs body language and adapting to their needs. I have experience with young dogs and senior dogs. I have also worked with nervous and anxious dogs in the past and know how to act accordingly. I also have experience working in a kennels and with rescue dogs which taught me a lot about each individuals dog needs and their personality’s!

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: Animals have always been a big part of my life. I've grown up around family and friends' cats and dogs, and now I have my own show cocker spaniel who definitely keeps me on my toes! I genuinely love and enjoy spending time with animals, and I'm looking forward to helping others by caring for their furry family members as if they were my own! I'm work full-time during the week, and so would only be able to do dog walking, dog sitting and dog boarding at the weekends. I currently live in a flat with my fiancé and show cocker spaniel, who is just over one year old and very friendly! Our dog Penny is in daycare most days of the week and so she is extremely socialised with other dogs (including younger dogs). We live near lots of green space and parks, and have a car to take them further afield on safe adventures.

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: Myself and my partner, Dale, have had dogs ourselves growing up and can’t wait for the day we can add one to our family. Until then, we are using Rover to spend more time with fluffy friends. We live in a non-smokers house with a garden, and only a short walk to the Dams-to-Darnley country park which also has a secure, lead-free dog play park nearby, if the owners wish for us to visit! I’m currently completing my PhD, where I have the flexibility to work at home during the week when I wish. I tend to be at home on a Monday, but can make myself available other days. At the weekends, I try to maximise time outdoors with walks or going for a row at Strathclyde Country Park. We have a fenced garden with grass and decking. Other than a garden table and chairs, the garden is spacious to run around in! Inside our two floor house, your doggo is welcome to explore any room, though we ask that they are trained not to ‘use the toilet’ on our carpets! They are welcome on and around our furniture.

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.

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.

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.

Yes, absolutely! Many sitters on Rover are experienced in caring for multiple pets simultaneously, whether you have a pack of dogs, a clowder of cats, or a mix of both.

Look for sitters who highlight multi-pet expertise or check for verified reviews from other East Renfrewshire pet parents with similar pet households.

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.

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.
