“We used Kirsten to look after our spaniel a couple of months ago for the night. She was lovely, friendly and clearly experienced with dogs. Rudi is young and quite bouncy but this didn’t phase her and it was clear Rudi had a great time with her. Thank you!”
“Would highly recommend Craig who looked after our German shepherd for 5 days. He was well walked and played with too. He was thoroughly spoiled by Craig and his wife. Craig also kept us updated with photos on their walks etc which reassured us. Would definitely ask Craig to look after our dog again !!”
“Michele was just wonderful with our two boys. From the start to the finish I had full confidence in her professionalism and dedication to the well-being of dogs and that her care would be excellent. She puts real thought into every aspect of boarding pets. Also, her warmth and the regular pictures and status updates confirmed that our pups were not only in good care, but also loved! Highly recommend.”
“Would highly recommend Pam to others. Marely enjoyed his stay, the update photos were great - it was so good to see Marley having so much fun and looking like a very happy boy. We will definitely be using Pam again.”
“So glad we found Lyndsay, she is so friendly and looked after our dog with real care, he had lots of nice walks and we were kept updated with photos. Will definitely use again 😊”
“Nutmeg has stayed with Lenka a few times now and always has a lovely time (I can tell from the photos Lenka sends!). She gets lots of walks and is always happy to go to Lenkas house for the day or overnight stay. I’m very confident that she is very well looked after!”
“Laura looked after our boy today and he was extremely well looked after. Laura met our dog before to ensure he would settle which was a good step. It was extremely warm so Laura provided fun water based activities to keep him cool. Communication before, during and after was first class. He came back happy and tired. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend Laura to anyone.”
“Bodhi loves staying with Zena and enjoys running about after Wallace and Snape like he’s known them forever! Zena and her husband are fantastic sitters and we wouldn’t have Bodhi anywhere else”
“Leigha and her family made our first time leaving Molly so easy. Leigha kept me well up-dated on how Molly was getting on with lots if photos and videos and it was clear that Molly had the best time. I would highly recommend.”
About: I have had dogs of different breeds all my life - all the way from puppy to senior! Currently have a 5 year old Labradoodle that's full of fun and energy and would be a happy companion for walks and play! I also have a 3 year old goldendoodle. Of course happy to walk separately if your dog is more of a human lover! I am available for dog walking, drop-in visits and daycare at various times. Available at weekends. I currently work as a nurse and have 2 dogs of my own so have time to look after your pup too! My energetic pups will be happy to have a friend at home if they are around! There are plenty of parks nearby for long walks.
“Chris was amazing with my energetic lab Ollie and was really understanding of his temperament and needs. Chris helped us out with a last minute booking after we were let down by kennels right before our holiday. I received lots of pictures whilst we were away so was reassured that my dog was doing well and could see he was very well exercised. Would not hesitate to use Chris again in the future!”
“We have left our cocker spaniel with Jessika for a week and we cant recommend Jessika enough.shr took amazing care of our dog. From the start communication was excellent. It was relief knowing our boy was happy well feed and getting plenty of attention and plays in the garden .When we came home Hugo was calm content and happy .We will definitely be booking with her in the future. Thank you Jessika for treating Hugo like your own .”
“At 11, it's the first time I have used a homeboarder for my wee girl Tilly, she had a ball plenty of walks and cuddles constant updates to reassure me of her wellbeing would use Lisa 100% again”
About: I’ve always been surrounded by animals and caring for them is a genuine part of my everyday life. I have many years of hands-on experience with both dogs and cats, including senior pets, and I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine and needs. I’m patient, caring and reliable, and I’ll always treat your pet as if they were one of my own. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, cuddles or simply keeping them company while you’re away, my priority is making sure they feel happy, safe and comfortable. I’m also confident caring for older pets and following specific routines or instructions provided by their owners. I have a flexible routine, which allows me to fit pet care around my day and give each pet the time and attention they need. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits and pet sitting during the week, with additional availability at weekends. I’m happy to discuss individual routines and timings to find what works best for you and your pet. We’re a very animal-loving family! I live with my husband, our two children, our dog Zoe, three cats and two chickens, who have their own secure coop. We have a large, fully fenced garden with plenty of safe space to explore and play. Having children and several pets at home means I understand how important introductions, supervision and individual routines are. I’ll always follow your instructions carefully and make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable and loved. I’m also happy to discuss your pet’s personality and needs beforehand to make sure our home is the right fit for them.
About: I have had dogs in my household from a young age. Since the passing of Foster, my beloved old collie in August 25 I have missed being a doggy parent and have a lot of love to give to the much loved furry member of your family. I have experience in dogs large and small, young and old. Initially I will be offering weekend boarding. Once you, your pet and I are happy and trust each other then longer bookings may be possible. I have a medium sized, fenced garden, so plenty of space to stretch legs and get fresh air. No shortage of walking areas on my door step
“Great host! My dog Skye was well looked after. Pictures and updates sent of her out and about and relaxing at the home. I would definitely recommend and seek to send my dog on her holiday here.”
About: I gained a deep love for dogs by growing up with them and learning the responsibility of pet ownership. I've loved taking care of them, learning how to train them and observing their behaviours. I'm an advocate on positive re-enforcement as a form of training, giving dogs lots of attention but also being aware when dogs need space/rest. I also love the affection and play that can come from dogs. The two dogs in my profile are Pepper (Black Spaniel) and Milo (The handsome springer) they belong to close friends and family. I help look after these two regularly overnight or for a number of days with Daily walks and regular toilet breaks. I tend to be working from home around 8am - 4pm. When looking after dogs this means I can easily pop out for bathroom breaks and I tend to spare 30mins in the day for a short walk in the park nearby. I like the company and like giving them attention between times of focus. I'm not meeting heavy so get up from my desk often. I make sure they have a comfortable save space to be in. Not too close to windows or disturbances so they can rest. Nothing is left out that they might try and chew or play with. Between periods of work I'll play and check in on them, making sure they have fresh water.
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Falkirk is £30

Jennifer was a great host for little Uzi. She made it easy to feel relaxed while away knowing he was in good hands. A lovely family who have spoilt my dog during my time away. I would highly recommend Jennifer to anyone who is worried about leaving there dog behind. From first meet up I knew he would be well looked after, she is highly knowledgeable and great with dogs.
Jessica was the perfect host for my two dogs that she has recently looked after for me. I was apprehensive about leaving them and she made me feel at ease straight away. We took the dogs for a walk before leaving them and once away, Jessica kept me updated throughout the day with how they have been and sent photo updates. Thank you Jessica, I will definitely book again.
Natalie took amazing care of Cosmo for a few days while we were away on holiday. Cosmo was excited to see her and was happy to be left there. She kept us updated with pics and videos and made us feel confident that Cosmo was being well looked after ❤️ will definitely book again and would 100% recommend 🌟
Michele was just wonderful with our two boys. From the start to the finish I had full confidence in her professionalism and dedication to the well-being of dogs and that her care would be excellent. She puts real thought into every aspect of boarding pets. Also, her warmth and the regular pictures and status updates confirmed that our pups were not only in good care, but also loved! Highly recommend.
Niamh and her family were fantastic while looking after Feile. I had received regular updates and photos throughout Feiles stay. Niamh was very accommodating and extremely friendly. I knew Feile was in great hands. Will definitely book with Niamh again if in the area. Thank you!
Can’t thank them enough. Dogs were so happy and looked after so well. One dog on tablets which was no problem being administered. They were walked every day. Lovely couple made our holiday even more enjoyable knowing dogs were safe happy and very well cared for. Thank you so much x

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Falkirk on Rover is £34.5 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 1,594 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Falkirk. Enter your postcode to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Finding the right boarding environment is all about peace of mind. Boarding with a sitter on Rover helps you find a cosy experience in a real home for your dog.
When searching for a host, look for a sitter who:
- Offers a secure, home-like environment that is clean and welcoming
- Adheres to your dog’s established routine for meals, activity, and rest
- Possesses relevant experience with your pet’s specific breed, size, and personality
- Maintains clear communication regarding the frequency of photo and message updates
Don’t skip the Meet & Greet! The free Meet & Greet is the best way to see where your dog will sleep and who they might play with.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog's vaccines is the best way to be 'boarding ready'. Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Sitters in Scotland may request that your dog be up-to-date on core vaccines, such as Canine Distemper, Canine Parvovirus, Canine Adenovirus (also known as DHP or DHPPi), Leptospirosis and Kennel Cough. Cats may be required to have Feline Panleucopenia Virus, Feline Herpesvirus, Feline Calicivirus, and Feline Leukaemia Virus up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog, 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.
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 .
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 dog to the closest vet. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
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.
We require sitters to operate in compliance with applicable local licensing requirements. In England, pet sitters who board dogs or provide doggy day care as a business may need a valid licence under the Animal Welfare (Licensing of Activities Involving Animals) Regulations 2018. When vetting your sitter, ask if they meet local licensing requirements for dog boarding. This confirmation is important for coverage under the Rover Guarantee. Read more about our requirement for following local licensing requirements .
