“Pam was amazing with our cat Ivy. She is an indoor cat only and was kept company with Pam popping in and making sure she was fed, watered, cleared her tray and gave her attention. Highly reliable and would recommend her. Very likely to use again.”
“Michèle was great with my dog, Ronnie. She dropped in while we were on a night out and gave us the comfort he was well looked after by keeping us updated with pictures. Would definitely re-book in the future, thanks again!”
About: I’ve been a dog owner for the past ten years. I have a 10 year old Beagle and a 9 year old Cavachon. Any dogs who come to stay must get on well with my dogs and my two primary school aged children. I’m off work Friday to Monday so I’m in an ideal position to dog sit for weekend breaks but I am more than willing to look after your dog during the week too as long as they can be left for a few hours. I will do my best to follow your pets normal routine and provide a fun, safe space for them to stay. I work part time so I have plenty of time for dog walking and company. I live in an area surrounded by fields and fun places to walk. I have a fully enclosed garden. My dogs are allowed on the furniture so the more the merrier, however, I will always follow your rules. I want to create an environment that you can enjoy a break away knowing your dog is also enjoying a holiday. Both my dogs are on tablets daily so I have experience in administering those. I’ve had my dogs since puppies so I have experience from puppy to seniors.
“Zoe looked after our Alvie for a week while we were on holiday. Zoe provided her drop in service where she visited once a day to feed and accompany Alvie. Every day Zoe arrived at the time she said and provided detailed updates on how Alvie was doing and sent plenty of pictures and videos. The service provided by Zoe was fantastic and set our minds at ease allowing my partner and I to enjoy our holiday to the fullest. I would absolutely recommend Zoe to anyone looking for peace of mind and hope to use her services again in the future! Thanks so much!”
“Jenny was so lovely with Kai, and she was so helpful in supporting with a last minute booking. He's a big boisterous boy with a teddy bear face and Jenny stole his heart straight away!”
“Susan was really friendly to me and checked on my cats every day. She hung out with them for a while each day, and sent me pictures and notes every day about how they were doing. I greatly appreciate her, and I will ask her to drop in on my kitties the next time I travel! I 100% recommend her. :)”
About: I’m originally from Ireland but moved to Scotland last year to live with my Scottish partner Derek. Back in my family home in Ireland we have two gorgeous Westies, Allie and Belle. Sadly we lost Allie in September after an amazing 15 years together, but her sister Belle (now 10) is still keeping my mum and dad busy!. I travel home often to see them but I really miss having dogs around the house every day! I’m very active and love being outdoors, so your dog will get plenty of walks and attention. I’m quite lucky that my work schedule is fairly flexible. I usually work in the office on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, then work from home for the rest of the week, and I’m off at the weekends. However, if you needed your dog to stay on Tuesday or Wednesday, I could swap my office days around. Just message me with the days you need and I’m sure we can sort something out🥰 We have a small fenced garden where they can safely play and enjoy some fresh air. Our house is small & cosy, so smaller dogs are the best fit, they’ll be treated like part of the family here. They’re more than welcome to curl up on the couch and get comfortable - cuddles are guaranteed! I know how important it is to trust someone with your dog, and I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home while they’re with us.
“Excellent care of my boys (Hugo and Winston). Can be stressed cats so was a bit anxious about how they may be. Faye reassured me they were fine with pictures, giving me daily updates. I would not hesitate to ask Faye and Ian to look after my cats again. Cannot thank them enough was excellent.”
“Jessica looked after our 2 cats for us while we were away on holiday. She sent us pics and updates every day and the cats always looked very happy! Would definitely recommend!”
About: Experienced dog owner with a passion for all types of animal care. Always making sure you pet is cares for as if it was my own I run a dog day adventure business and also a drop in service for all types of animals as well as emergency cover/care and transportation I always look ahead when walking dogs and make sure they are in a safe environment at all times. I also make sure the care is as enjoyable as possible for your pet
About: I’ve been walking dogs professionally for over a year and a half now and I absolutely love it 🥰 all dogs get treated as if they were my own. Safety comes first but fun is a close second I do dog walking/pet sitting for a living (full time). So just pop me a message with your preferred days and times and I can see what I can do 😊 I am DBS checked and have my own insurance in place and treat every dog as my own. Safety comes first! Fun is a close second!
About: I've helped walk people's dogs since I was teenager from neighbours to family friends. I have expernce walking smaller dogs like Bichon Frisé and French bulldogs as well as bigger more high energy dogs like labradors and collies. I am patient and understand dog body language well, I know that every dog is diffrent and will always listen to the owner about what they need. I have experence pet sitting gerbils and currently have two guinea pigs. I am confident handeling small animals and can pet sit smaller animals as well. I am a student in Glasgow I commute in. This means I'm happy to house sit for people outside my area so long as I can get a bus or train into Glasgow from your house. I am in uni Tuesday afternoon, Thursday and Friday morning so cant do drop ins or walks at those times. When looking after animals in the owners home I will make sure to follow all instructions given and do whatever I can to make the animal feel comfortable. I appreciate all animals are diffrent and some may like sticking to a routine and may be nervous when their owner is away while others enjoy the change of routine. I am able to look after animals in my home however I have a pet guinea pig therfore I can't look after your dog if they have a high prey drive. I am happy to do meet ups before hand if youre unsure about this. I know that it is impossible to know everything about animals so I will always take the lead from you and follow any instructions given. It is always best to do things the dog is familiar with so I will use any equitment and/ or traning methods you prefer. I would always prefer to meet you and the animal before booking to discuss things more in person and ensure me and the animal get along.
About: Having worked with animals for most of my career, and always had my own pets I have decided to step away from the office and spend time caring for animals again. I have worked with rescue dogs, difficult dogs and also very excitable young dogs. I have a soft but fair approach to training and handling and will always put your pets welfare first. I know how a dog becomes part of the family and I strive to treat all dogs like they are my own. I use positive reinforcement and encouragement to ensure the best training results and engagement from the dogs. Having competed in both Agility and Flyball with my own dogs, and being passionate about dog welfare, training and nutrition I would be keen to help in any way I can. I look forward to hearing from you and being able to meet your lovely pets. I work full time as a letting agent at the moment, so I am only available for walks in the evenings and weekends. However I hope this will change and availability will increase in the near future. I make sure all pets are cared for like my own, I will ensure they have had the appropriate amount of exercise and stimulation they need, as well as of course access to water, toileting and food when required.
About: I have taken care of my friends dogs before and used other websites to provide walking and company for other dogs, I am comfortable around many different breeds and always try my best to take care of them I’m currently studying nursing at university so my availability depends on the week most times, I also have a job with the NHS but it is bank shifts I have a fenced garden at my house, all of the supplies for your dogs will need to be provided as I do not have a dog, I do however have a caged hamster in my kitchen
About: Hi I'm Clare and I'm cat crazy!!! I have had cats since I was a child- they have almost always been there with me. I love all animals in general. Growing up I had a dog, gorgeous black gerbils, budgies and of course, cats!! I have my little adopted cat, Agnes, who is an indoor cat and she is my world. I know it can be daunting leaving the kitties but I assure everyone that they are left in capable and loving hands. I, myself, used cat in a flat serviced for Agnes and now I work for them too. This is an amazing service!!!! I know how important cats are and the best care is always taken by me for these wonderful animals.💜
About: Hey! I’m Connie, a caring and experienced dog lover moving back to Denny from June onwards 🐾 Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I had my Bichon Frise, Ollie, for 13 years, and since losing him I’ve continued caring for dogs regularly — especially my brother’s Cockapoo, Lottie (my little fur niece!), who I look after once or twice a week 🐶 I work full time during the week, but I work from home on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so I can be more flexible on those days. At the moment, I’m mainly offering: ✅ House sitting ✅ Dog walking ✅ Drop-in visits House sitting works best for me right now, and I also find most pets are far more comfortable staying in their own home and routine 🏡🐾 I’m very respectful of people’s homes and always make sure everything is kept tidy, secure, and well looked after. For dog walking, I’m available: ✅ Early mornings (Mon–Fri, 6–8am) ✅ Lunch breaks (Tues & Thurs) ✅ Evenings after 5pm (weekdays) ✅ Anytime Saturdays & Sundays I’m happy to do anything from quick toilet breaks to longer walks depending on your dog’s age, energy level, and routine 🌿🐕 I can also offer drop-in visits for feeding, letting pets out, company, and making sure they’re settled and cared for while you’re away 🐾 I’m a calm, patient, and affectionate person, and I always adapt to each pet’s personality — whether they want lots of interaction and play, or just a gentle, reassuring presence 💛 I also always keep owners updated with photos and messages so you know your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away 🤍 I work full time Mon-Fri (9-4.30pm). I work from home on Tuesdays & Thursdays, which gives me more flexibility for walks and drop in visits during the day. On office days (Mon, Wed, Fri), I am available for morning walks before work and evening visits after 4.30pm. I am also fully available at weekends which allows for more flexibility, longer walks and regular care as needed. I enjoy being active and outdoors - I love going for drives and long walks and I am happy to include dogs where appropriate. I also enjoy quieter time at home, so I'm comfortable caring for pets who just need calm company and a steady presence. I am organised and reliable, ensuring pet care is something I can consistently fit around my work while still giving pets plenty of time, care and attention 💗 I provide care in the pet owner's home, where pets feel safest and most comfortable in their own familiar environment. I follow each pet's usual routine as closely as possible including feeding times and durations, fresh water, toilet breaks and playtime! I include walks tailored to their energy levels and needs along with playtime, attention and companionship so they feel happy and stimulated. I will always ensure your home is left secure and tidy after each visit and will always provide updates and photos so you feel reassured while you're away 📸 I always focus on creating a caring, calm presence so your pet feels comfortable and well looked after.

Lee Ann is soo great with my boy Salem! I can relax when away knowing he is in good hands and getting absolutely spoilt and loved by her, and will get a good play session in each visit too! Thanks for always taking such great care of my baby, and the fish, and the daily updates!
I hadn't left my cat with a sitter previously and was pretty nervous about it, but Zoe put my mind at rest right away. She came to meet my cat before I left, and while I was away she sent regular photo and video updates. My cat can sometimes be a little shy around strangers but he clearly liked Zoe and quickly felt comfortable with her. I'd definitely recommend Zoe and will be booking her again in the future if she's available.
Jenny has been so lovely and in communication as it was the first time I left my wee man alone overnight. She's so nice and understanding of his needs and kept in touch with updates that reassured me. Would definitely recommend her to anyone and I will definitely get in touch with her again for future drop ins. She's fantastic!

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 Falkirk 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!

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 use the 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.
