“Rhiannon was great when she came to dog-sit for us one evening. She was very punctual, a good communicator and clearly loves dogs. Would definitely ask her to help out again.”

About: I’ve always had a dog, my whole life. But since saying goodnight to our Jessie in June 2025 I can’t bring myself to adopt another, so I’ve decided to offer my services and love as a sitter/carer. I work full time hybrid. I’m home 3-5 days out of 7. As an early riser I am happy to be out at dawn for walks. Where I live there is plenty of space for playing both outside and in. I’m also happy to just walk if your baby is a bit older. If you need me for longer than just a weekend please message and we can have a chat. Everywhere in my home is free for all to use. Couches, beds, bathrooms….lol Once the first few hours of exploring every corner and becoming used to all the new smells and noises we can settle down to some play time and start our trust building.

About: I have had pets of various sizes most of my life. I would describe myself as animal centric. Currently, I have a senior German Shepherd mix and Ragdoll cat. Making me experienced with senior pet care including administering medicine. I understand that having someone look after your pets is anxiety inducing. Therefore, I will make sure that I follow your exact care instructions. As well as providing regular updates. I work remotely and can offer a variety of care such as dog walking, pick-ups/drop-offs and in-home pet sitting. I am flexible and can accommodate all of Scotland. I work remotely so am completely flexible and can fit pet care around my work. Looking after your pets will be my top priority. Therefore, I can provide regular walks, attention and bathroom breaks. I am experienced with looking after anxious pets with complex needs and senior dogs. I can administer medication. I also will ensure that I follow your care instructions.

“Charlene was an absolute star! 🌟 Could not of asked for anyone better to look after my fur baby. From start to finish she made me feel completely at ease with leaving Meg for the night. Already booked her next overnight, and Meg can’t wait to see her again! 🥰”


About: I was raised in a house full of different animals and for the last 20 years I have had dogs, cats, rabbits, gecko & horse. I have experience in looking after small to extra large dogs. I was a fosterer with Thistle Boxer Rescue for 3 years and became a trustee (lead rehomer) matching rescues with their forever family. This was the most rewarding experience ever! I have experience in challenging behaviours and believe in reward based training. My only ask is that any behavioural issues are disclosed before pick up/drop off such as wanting to eat my cat (1 eyed feline who thinks she runs the house) this decreases any risks and helps me to understand the dog better and provide better care. I also like to borrow my friends and family’s dogs just because I like the furry hugs. I like to make sure that all dogs feel loved. I have a variety of walking areas local to me and will work around the needs of the dogs. I am currently not working so will be able to fully focus on any dog that is in my care. Going for walks, playing with toys and snuggling on the couch if that’s what they want. I look after all animals in my care as my own, with love and with lots of fun. I treat others home and property with care and respect.
About: Growing up on a farm in the Caribbean, I was surrounded by a menagerie of animals, but my heart always belonged to dogs. Taking care of them was my responsibility as a teenager, and those experiences shaped my love for pets. As an adult, I welcomed a charming cocker spaniel into my life—my queen, my princess, my little diva! Her playful nature led to the arrival of five adorable puppies after a flirtation with a local boy. I cherished each moment with them, but due to unforeseen circumstances, I had to find them new homes last year. Though they are no longer with me, I take comfort in knowing they are happy, and I still get to see them occasionally. I work from home and therefore can take care of any dog that need some love instead of being left at home alone. There is a lot of love and patience here for your pets while you’re away. I work from home. So lots of time spent with dogs and looking them after. My cocker spaniel, I usually take her for a walk early in the morning and a longer walk in the evenings. When it’s dry and the ground is not soft, I let her off the lead to run around the park! She becomes a maniac (I should sign her up for the olympics, lol)! Anyway, back to my daily routine, because I work from home, I have a lot of time to talk with my dog and get their feedback about something challenging, although she doesn’t say much words, but the wag of the tail sometimes help, lol! The fantastic thing of working from home means that I am seeing her all the time and when I am having lunch she can have lunch too. Also, it means I am available to give her numerous potty breaks as possible. The way In which I care for pets in my home is that I have security cameras all around my house. My cocker spaniel isn’t allowed to go into some rooms. I have a fenced yard and because I work in the kitchen the back door is open for her to run around (however, she prefer being curled up on her donut next to me, except I’m in the garden with her)! If we are going for walks, I always have my dog on lead until we meet a safe park.
About: Hi! I’m Anastasiia, and animals have always been a very special part of my life. I grew up with my beloved dog, Timmy, who was part of our family for 14 wonderful years. Caring for him taught me patience, responsibility and how important it is for every pet to feel safe, loved and understood. I truly love animals and enjoy spending time with them. Since losing Timmy two years ago, I’ve really missed having a furry companion around, which inspired me to join Rover and care for other people’s wonderful pets. I’m currently completing my MSc dissertation, so I spend most of my time at home. This means your pet will receive plenty of attention, companionship, regular walks and lots of care throughout the day. I only host one family’s pet at a time to provide a calm, safe and loving environment. I’ll follow your pet’s usual routine and keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind. I’m currently completing my MSc dissertation, which means I spend most of my time at home and have a flexible schedule.

“Rhona was an absolute superstar ! She saved us at the last minute and was calm and experienced throughout all communications. Frida had an amazing time with her and we can’t thank her enough. The house is spotless and we have a very happy dog! 🐶 Thank you so much Rhona - we would not hesitate in recommending you 😍 x”

About: I have been taking care of dogs of my own or for neighbours and friends since a young age, which developed into a small clientele of dogs whom I would regularly care for throughout my university studies. I have experience caring for puppies (and can confidently assist or continue puppy training) all the way to elderly dogs and am happy administering medication (non-injection). I like to chat with the owners before taking on a pet sitting job to ensure I know exactly what kind of care you expect from me and, more importantly, how I can make the experience as enjoyable as possible for your furry friend. I am currently a PhD student at the University of Dundee so have full autonomy over my schedule and can be at home or take time off during weekday day times. I have availability over the weekends and evenings and can arrange my work to fit around longer sits if need be. I have an enclosed garden which will be useable by your pet only. I live very close to big open spaces so can take them for any length or duration of exercise they might require. I tend to ask owners the specifics of how they prefer me to care for their pet. For example, any feeding/toilet/sleeping schedules, sleeping arrangements and whether or not they should be allowed on furniture/on beds etc. In my opinion the environment I can provide for your pet is largely up to you.
About: Detached 4 bedroom new build house, in a quiet housing estate. No children. The garden is spacious and fenced. Outside the front of the house is a large open green space. At the rear of the house is a wildlife corridor (great for sniffs). The housing estate is surrounded by Dunnikier Woods and close to Dunnikier Park. I adore dogs. They are my passion in life and I feel it is a privilege to look after them and spend time with them. I work 9:30 - 4:30 Monday - Friday as a primary school teacher in Kirkcaldy. I am flexible to work with and suit the needs of clients. I have a large four bedroom house with lots of space for pets. There are no children in the house, apart from the fur variety. I have two cats and a dog, who are all very friendly.
“Hazel and Daniel were amazing 🤩 house sitters when we left our miniature dachshund Daphne with them for a few days. We returned home after a family wedding to a very happy dog and they really took care of our home too. We strongly recommend them, especially if you have a nervous or lock down dog as they lavished the best care and attention on our little dashie! Thanks so much 😍”

“Amanda took such great care of my nervous dog and managed to make Petal feel super comfortable relaxed! Amanda has a lovely, warm personality which dogs love!! Petal only trusts a few people and usually needs a lot of time to trust unfamiliar people but was very happy with Amanda! I highly recommend Amanda to all dog owners!! Will definitely book Amanda again! Petal has a new best friend!”

About: I've interacted with dogs all my life. I have always had a special connection with dogs. I have experience with dogs from weeks old all the way to the ripe old age of 16 years old. I have trained rescue dogs with aggression issues, including older dogs like Charlie, my departed Collie who I rescued when he was 10 years old. He went from aggressive on the lead to walking safely off the lead within 6 months. My primary occupation is as a live at home carer and I am.also a freelance journalist. I am incredibly flexible and have plenty free time. I live in the perfect place for dogs. I have a fenced garden and live 500 feet from Broughty Ferry's stunning waterfront which offers a variety of stunning walks to take pooch's on.

About: Hello! My name is Kathryn and I live in Dunfermline with my husband, senior cat and dog. I grew up always having animals in the home whether that was dogs or cats or fish! From an early age I started walking neighbours dogs with my own and watching them on weekends. As I got older I began doing long house sits for family friends and neighbours pets. 5 years ago we rescued our senior cat Louie. He has been such a joy to have in the home and being able to give him a cozy new life has been so rewarding. Due to him being FIV positive he is susceptible to illness so I have experience delivering medications and providing extra care. Last May we brought home our Boxer Fionn. He is a crazy boy who keeps us active and it has been such a joy to train him and watch him grow. I work from home a couple a days a week and am very flexible on evenings and weekends. I would be able to help out as much as I could. If your dog is needing some walking or some company I would love to help and if okay could bring my dog along for a run around. I would love for him to meet some other dogs and get used to walking with dogs around (if you’re comfortable with it). If it’s cats you’re needing looked after I would be more than happy to spend quality time with them, playing with toys, cuddling on the sofa or reading my book with them! I have a fenced in back garden that the dogs can play in. If watching in your home I would be sure to keep an eye on them and follow all instructions provided. I would make sure they are safe, fed, happy and well looked after.
“Rachel and Josh were fabulous with Cleo, our German shepherd. We received regular updates and it was clear that Cleo was happy and well looked after. Came back to a very clean, tidy house and a happy, healthy dog, so we would not hesitate to recommend!”

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 Fife walking routes, the location of your favourite pet shop, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
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.
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 Fife 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.
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.
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 pet to the closest vet. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
