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’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.
“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.”
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.
“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!”
“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. :)”
“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!”
“Kai is really really liking his new friend Zoe. She is so lovely with him and it's adorable to see this big, 'scary' dog jump around like crazy when he recognises the sound of Zoes car. She's calm with him and out first 3 visits have gone excellently. She's very sweet and positive and it's great to see that there's someone out there I can trust to keep an eye on my pupper and enter my home. Would definitely recommend Zoe! 😊”
About: Dogs have always been a central part of my life - I grew up with a German shepherd and all of my family (and most of my friends) have dogs. Our home is perfect for four-legged guests (gated back garden). At home, it is just me and my two children (aged 13 and 8). I will be the sole dog sitter. We regularly welcome the dogs of friends and family for stays. Together with my two children, we absolutely adore dog sitting and bring plenty of energy to every stay. We love being out on long walks just as much as the dogs do! Your furry family member will be treated like one of our own, surrounded by affection, routine, and adventures. I work part-time as a teacher and currently do not work Fridays. I am also available during school holidays. At the weekend, me and my children regularly head out long walks in woods, to a beach, etc. I have a gated garden with fake grass, so easily cleaned. I am happy to have dogs with crates as have plenty of space in my living room. Both my children (12 and 8) love dogs and are always around family pets. Any dog that stays with us gets plenty of attention and affection.
About: I have grown up with dogs, we were never without one. My husband and I now have two mini dachshunds and I couldn’t imagine life without them. I’m currently working part time but I’m moving to my own business part time so I will have lots of time to look after dogs I am more than happy to keep your dog in their routine and their own environment so that they are happy, comfortable and content in their home.
About: I have been caring for all animals since the age of 12, have my own dog, and have experience with puppies and senior dogs. I know basic dog first aid and have my own transport and super flexible timings. I'm currently looking for extra things to keep me busy! I work in hospitality so have super flexible availability and absolutely love animals of all kinds. I will visit or stay with your pets in their own home, which gives them more comfort and means I am able to follow their own routine. I will follow all instructions and ensure all pets are happy, comfortable, and especially safe under my care.
“I feel my cats are very very well looked after. I have a lot of confidence in leaving them with Fay and Ian. Wouldn’t want anyone else looking after my boys. And my boys seem to love it too which is very reassuring. 100% would recommend leaving your animals with Fay &Ian. Thank you so much for your excellent care xx”
“Yasmina kept in touch and took care of Kai and was very understanding of his needs. Kept in communication as she fully understood me being nervous leaving my wee boy alone overnight for the first time.”
About: I'm both a flexible and reliable, caring pet lover with a lifetime of experience looking after dogs. I've had dogs throughout my entire life, and my family has adopted and fostered many over the years. This has given me hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, breeds, personalities, and behavioural needs, from energetic puppies to nervous rescue dogs who need extra patience and reassurance. I understand that every pet is unique and deserves individual care tailored to their routine and personality. I also have a fully fenced, secure garden where dogs can safely play, explore, and enjoy time outdoors under my supervision. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with plenty of cuddles, I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away. I'll care for your pet as if they were my own and provide regular updates so you can have complete peace of mind. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! I work full time but have the majority of evenings free and am more than happy to spend my days off any free time I have to look after peoples furry friends I have a well sized secure fenced garden and an extremely friendly dog of my own to keep your dog entertained. Plenty good walks nearby.
“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: 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!
“Jen did a great job looking after Ripley, feeding and spending some time with her. Great communication and understanding how important good care of pets is for families. Jen is really friendly and knowledgeable about cats.”
About: I have around a year of experience providing dog walking and pet sitting, caring for dogs with different personalities, routines and needs. 🐾 I previously worked as a self-employed dog walker and built up my own regular clients, so I'm confident caring for dogs independently and making sure they feel safe, comfortable and happy while their owners are away. I'm experienced with walks, feeding, playtime, toilet breaks and following each dog's individual routine and care instructions. I understand that every dog is different, so I'm always happy to adapt to their usual schedule, personality and preferences. I know how important it is to trust the person looking after your pet, so I'll treat every dog as if they were my own and keep owners updated with plenty of photos and messages while they're in my care. ❤️🐶 I'm available for dog walking, drop-in visits, house sitting, daycare and boarding, and I'd love to get to know you and your pets! I currently work a hospitality job where the hours swap and change weekly but I can keep in touch and communicate my days off with my clients. My doggy day care I only do on my days off so I can be at home the full time with the animal to ensure its needs are being met. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. I’ll follow any routines and instructions you provide, including feeding times, walks, toilet breaks and any house rules. I’ll make sure pets receive plenty of attention while also giving them space when they need it. When caring for pets in an owner’s home, I’ll treat both their pet and their home with care and respect. I’m also happy to send regular photo and message updates so you can relax knowing your pet is safe and happy. I have a cat that can keep your furry pet company he’s been around dogs and cats his whole life. 🐾
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.

I couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter! She was amazing with Buster, and it was clear he absolutely loved spending time with her. It gave me such peace of mind knowing he was in such caring hands while I was away. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving cat sitter! 🐾❤️
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!

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book.

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.

Look for sitters who highlight multi-pet expertise or check for verified reviews from other Falkirk 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.

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!
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements.

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.
