“I’ had such a great experience with Michelle . From the very first meeting she was incredibly friendly, calm, and professional, which instantly put myself and Bonnie at ease. She doesn’t just look after — she genuinely engaged, playing structured games that kept Bonnie mentally stimulated as well as happy and relaxed. It was clear she really understands dogs and cares about doing things properly. I came home to a content, well-exercised pup and couldn’t be happier. Highly recommended.”

“Kirsteen is so good with Chase! He's high energy and very boisterous but Kirsteen had no issues matching him and giving him the best time. Normally Chase doesn't notice when sitters leave but he went to the window to watch. 10/10 - especially if your dog is high-drive!”

About: We’ve had dogs in our family since I can remember. Big Rottweilers, fluffy Alsatians, bouncy spaniels, snuggly Staffies and cheeky Jack Russell terriers. I live with my partner and I work at home full time. I’m a big walker so happy to be as active or relaxed as your doggy dictates. I work flexibly from home full time. I can offer toilet breaks as often as required. And as many or as few walks needed. Pets are welcome on the furniture here! I have an unfenced garden but I understand security is the most important element. I’ll ensure your pet is able to get outside for walks or the bathroom whenever they need. And if they don’t show signs I’ll be observant and ensure they can be outside as frequently as required.

About: I’ve had my own cats for the past 3 years, so truly understand how difficult it can be to leave your pet at home when you’re away. I know how important it is to have someone you trust to give them the same love, attention, playtime and cuddles they’re used to while you’re gone. I also have experience walking and caring for my friends’ dogs, and I’ve always loved spending time with animals. I’m responsible, caring and attentive, and I’ll always make sure your pet feels safe, happy and well looked after. Whether your pet needs a fun walk, some playtime, lots of cuddles, or simply some company while you’re away, I’d be more than happy to help! 🐾 I’m available for pet sitting in the evenings, as well as weekday mornings before 9am. I’m also flexible and available anytime on weekends. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and will do my best to accommodate your schedule :) I always aim to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care. I take the time to understand their usual routine, personality, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any special requirements.

About: I have over 15 years of experience caring for dogs and cats, having adopted pets at various life stages, from infants to seniors. I've provided loving care for them until they passed away, which has given me a deep understanding of their needs. Currently, I have three medium-sized mixed-breed dogs, allowing me to manage multiple dogs effectively. What sets me apart is my compassionate approach and my ability to cater to each pet’s individual routine and personality. I treat every animal as part of my family, ensuring they feel safe and loved while in my care. Additionally, I am more than willing to clean up after pets, including clearing any waste, as I understand it’s essential for their health and the cleanliness of the environment. Your pets will receive the highest standard of care and attention. I am available for pet care on weekdays from 11 AM to 3 PM, as well as on Saturdays. This schedule allows me to provide consistent and loving care for your pets during those times. When caring for pets in their own homes, I prioritize their safety and comfort. I ensure the environment is secure by checking for any potential hazards and maintaining a calm atmosphere. I follow the pet owner's routines, including feeding schedules and playtime, to help minimize stress. I provide companionship, engage in play, and ensure that each pet feels loved and cared for during my visits. By visiting them in their familiar surroundings, I aim to keep their routine consistent and help them feel at ease while their owners are away.

About: I’ve always been an animal lover and have cared for dogs and cats for many years. I grew up with my Labrador, who is now 14, and I helped train and care for her from a puppy through to her senior years. I regularly look after my uncle’s cat and friends’ cats, so I’m comfortable with different personalities and routines. I work in the finance industry and work from home regularly, which gives me plenty of flexibility and time to give pets company, attention and care throughout the day. I’m patient, responsible and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I live alone in a flat with no pets of my own, so your pet would have my full attention. I’m particularly suited to cats and smaller, house-trained dogs, and I’m happy to follow individual feeding, walking, medication or routine requirements. I live in an upstairs flat in a quiet residential area and have access to a small, secure garden behind the building. The garden isn’t directly accessible from my flat door, so dogs would need to be taken outside on a lead for regular toilet breaks. There is also a grassy area nearby, as well as plenty of options for regular walks. Because of this, I’m best suited to smaller, house-trained dogs who are comfortable being taken outside on a lead for toilet breaks and walks. I work from home regularly, so I’m able to provide lots of company and attention throughout the day. I work in the finance industry and work from home regularly, so I have plenty of flexibility and time to give your cat attention throughout the day. I’m available for regular visits, feeding, playtime and companionship, and can work around your cat or dogs usual routine. I live in a clean, comfortable and secure flat with a private, enclosed garden, giving dogs a safe space to get some fresh air and play. I’m happy to take dogs out for walks and toilet breaks and can provide plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day. For cats, I can provide a calm and secure environment with plenty of space, cuddles and playtime. I don’t currently have any other pets living with me, so your pet can have my full attention. I’ll always follow your instructions and keep their normal routine as much as possible.

“Austin was a great person to look after my two dogs. They took great care to come and meet me and them before they came to stay in my house. They were careful in making sure they understood all about their foibles and needs and were super friendly. They also sent regular photos and videos which was really great - both dogs looked really happy and relaxed. Will definately use again and would recommend 🐾🐾🙂”

About: I have had two Labradors throughout my life, Timber and Bear who I have been responsible for looking after. I have had experience looking after friends and family’s dogs when they are travelling or at work. This includes walking, feeding and playing. I have just recently finished university, so I have plenty of time to spend with your pets during the week and at the weekend for the next while! I have a fully fenced back and front garden which will keep your pets safe. I have a golden Labrador who is 4 years old and I am sure he would be glad to have someone to play with.

Kirsteen is Chase's favourite person! She's so good with him, and we get great photos of him having the best time. \(^_^)/ He's always in such a good mood when he gets to spend the day with her and a lot less stressed than he is with some sitters. Especially as he can be very boisterous and a bit chaotic, it's so reassuting to know he's with someone who can not only manage him but also match his energy. 10/10 would reccomens!

FAQs for House Sitting – Falkirk

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of House Sitting in Falkirk is £35 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between £29 and £55 per night.

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 1,902 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across the city of Falkirk. About 83% typically respond to requests within 60 minutes.

Enter your address and booking dates to see which sitters are available near you. You can also message multiple sitters to improve your chances of finding the right care.

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 Falkirk walking routes, the location of your favourite pet shop, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.

House sitting is priced per night and generally includes an overnight stay. In the city of Falkirk, the price of house sitting can vary between £29 and £55 per night.

Just make sure you and your sitter agree on the actual hours they'll stay in your home before you accept the booking. Each sitter has their own routine, and some might suit your schedule better than others. Keep your messages on the Rover app for future reference.

It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a 'home base' service. Most sitters in Falkirk maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:

  • Look for 'WFH' sitters: Many sitters mention 'Work from Home' on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
  • Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
  • Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.

<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical 'away' windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!

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.

Every sitter must complete an identity verification process before listing their services on Rover. This process checks that the sitter’s identity matches their provided documents.

Identity verification doesn't assess a sitter’s experience or suitability for your pet. To see if a sitter is the right fit, you can review each sitter's profile for ratings, verified reviews, repeat pet owner information and care style. We also recommend arranging a Meet & Greet to discuss your pet’s needs and make sure the sitter is the right fit before booking.

For more details, visit our Trust & Safety page.

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.
