“Tricia was fantastic staying at our house for over a week to look after our dog and two cats. Tricia's dog, Bonnie, was a lovely guest as well, who got on well with the cats. Tricia is clearly a true animal-lover and responsible person. She sent loads of pictures and updates and left the house in immaculate condition. So glad to have found her (and also very last minute)!”
“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.”

“Madelyn, is incredible. She looks after my two crazy pugs and they absolutely love her, the excitement when she arrives rival my own welcome. She follows their normal routine, ensures they get everything they need and keeps me up to date along the way. She is always on time and I’ve never had any issues. Madelyn is now and will be (until she says no) Odin and Floki’s permanent dog sitter. So glad to have found her. I would recommend her to anyone with dogs wanting a caring and well experienced dog sitter.”


“Beth looked after our Merlin overnight and did a wonderful job. She briefly visited to get to know him beforehand, and Merlin felt relaxed around her as if he had known her for years from the moment she walked in the door, she just oozed positivity. We were very happy with Beth's work. she kindly updated us about how our dog was getting on, which also put my mind at ease. We can highly recommend Beth to other dog owners who value their dog being looked after professionally and with a lot of love!”

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: I’ve grown up around animals and have hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, and small animals. I previously owned two Labrador Retrievers, so I’m very comfortable with larger, energetic dogs and their exercise and care needs. I’ve also cared for rabbits, giving me confidence with small-animal routines and gentle handling. I currently have a dog and a cat, so I’m used to managing different personalities and tailoring care to each pet’s individual needs. I always aim to provide calm, loving, and reliable care while keeping to your pet’s usual routine. I am currently a university student with a flexible timetable and am free most afternoons I also own a car so would be able to travel for work At University I live in a flat so it would probly wouldn’t be suitable for pets to stay at the flat however there is a large park right next to the flat for dogs to run around in
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.
“Fantastic service once again from Justine, We’ve come home to the dogs happy and relaxed at being kept in their own surroundings! Justine kept us updated on how they were doing while we were away and we also received lots of photos :-) Will definitely book Justine again and would highly recommend her”


“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'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: Hi! Im Trish ! Thank you for considering my services. I’m a lifelong animal lover, professional dog spoiler, and firm believer that every dog deserves to be treated like family (possibly even royalty). I have my own little sidekick, Milo, a whippet/Italian greyhound mix with long legs, lots of personality, and absolutely no understanding of personal space. Having a dog of my own means I completely understand how nerve-wracking it can be leaving your pet with someone else, which is why I put huge importance on trust, communication, patience and making your pet feel genuinely loved and safe. I’ve grown up around dogs and cats my entire life and have experience looking after all sorts of dogs; tiny nervous pups, giant cuddle monsters, energetic chaos gremlins and sleepy seniors alike. Honestly, nothing is too small, too big, too fluffy or too weird for me to absolutely adore. Animals have always been a huge part of my life and I genuinely love getting to know all their little personalities and quirks, so whether than means I have to sing a song to get your dog to eat, I'm all for it ! I live in a quiet, dog-friendly village with a huge park right outside my living room window, which is basically every dog’s dream. I work only 2 and a half days in the office and spend the rest of the week working from home, so there’s plenty of time for walks, play, cuddles, snack negotiations and companionship throughout the day. I’d genuinely love nothing more than some extra furry company while my partner is working as I'm currently trying to persuade him to adopt another sidekick ! I also have a car and love being outdoors, so your dog can expect anything from peaceful village strolls to scenic adventures through parks, forests, beaches and munroes depending on their personality and energy levels. Whether your dog wants an action-packed adventure or simply someone to curl up beside and be obsessed with them for the day, I can tailor everything to suit their needs. You’ll also receive daily updates, photos and probably messages about the funny thing your dog did that day, because I know how reassuring it is hearing that your pet is happy, relaxed and being treated like one of the family while you’re away. Any questions, feel free to ask me ! Pet care fits very naturally into my weekly routine. I work in the office 2.5 days per week (Mondays 8.45am-12.00, Tuesdays, and Fridays from 8:45am–5:00pm). The rest of the week I work from home and am available on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and weekends. When working from home, I have the flexibility to adjust my schedule to accommodate dog boarding, walks, feeding times, playtime, and any other care needs such as giving medication. I am committed to ensuring pets receive plenty of attention, supervision, exercise, and companionship throughout their stay, and I can adapt my routine as needed to meet each dog’s individual requirements. I provide a safe, comfortable, and caring home environment where pets are treated like part of the family. I follow each pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise requirements, medication (if needed), and any specific care instructions provided by the owner. Dogs receive regular walks 3 times a day, playtime as needed, mental stimulation, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I ensure they have access to fresh water at all times and a clean, comfortable space to rest with multiple blankets and dog beds available. I also provide regular updates and photos to owners for peace of mind while they are away. My priority is making sure every pet feels happy, secure, and well cared for during their stay as I know how stressful it can leaving your loved companion with someone else.

About: I've been enjoying using another app for house sitting pets in the owners home, have looked after 35 pets so far mostly dogs and really enjoy getting to know each beautiful soul! I'm physically and mentally strong, able to manage more demanding behaviors and with gentle patience, charm the most nervous pets. I'm a freelance community project lead so I am flexible and enjoy getting outdoors as much as possible. I love a walk to the park that backs on to my home or a bigger jaunt round to Victoria and Lochee park. I have a fenced in garden for zoomies and the park adjacent for longer stretches. We use the back door as our main door which offers additional safety as we can implement an 'airlock' system between the two internal doors 😅. Our neighborhood is a 20 zone and we live on a cul-de-sac. We have space for your crate if you would like to provide one for your dog's comfort.
“Sarah looked after Roman, who suffered complications from his neutering operation. I was nervous about leaving him with someone while I went to work, but I shouldn't have been! Sarah was great; she promptly arrived on time, and the minute she met Roman, I knew she would take good care of him. She kept me up to date throughout the day, and there were no issues at all. I requested that Sarah prevent Roman from licking his incision (which is not an easy task as he has found a way to get to it even wearing two cones of shame!)However, I arrived home to a very happy, content kitty who had not licked his wound all day. I will definitely use Sarah for cat sitting duties again. Roman loved her so much he spent most of last night waiting at the door for her to come back!”


About: I take great pride in providing the highest standard of care for your pets. I have my own family Labrador back home who is the most important thing to me. I’ve looked after family and friends pets for overnight stays and have experience looking after dogs of all sizes. I work from home and can be fully flexible. A morning walk is part of my routine, along with a lunchtime and evening walk. Your pet will get all the attention, love and care needed whilst with me. I have a fenced garden and your dog can be the only pet in my home. I have a smoke and pet free home normally.

“Naomi looked after our dogs and house so well. She came before the sit to do a meet and greet, and the dogs were very comfortable around her. Naomi followed their routine and provided enrichment for them, she sent daily updates and photos. The dogs were calm and relaxed when we arrived home, always a good sign! And the house was spotless - we can highly recommend Naomi and will be booking her again before long!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, so caring for them has always been second nature to me. In 2021, I welcomed my own golden retriever into my life- she truly is the love of my life. I raised, trained, and cared for her myself, and I genuinely think of her as my child. Being separated from her while I’m in the UK (she’s currently living with my parents) has been incredibly hard. In the meantime, I’ve been filling that little dog-shaped gap through numerous dogs I have met in parks, house sitting and dog walking, caring for a wide range of personalities and breeds, from large, energetic Flat Coat Retrievers to anxious, clingy Dachshunds. I’m confident adapting my care to suit each dog’s individual needs, temperament, and routine. I work from home four days a week, so I have plenty of flexibility for walks, companionship, and attentive care. I genuinely love getting outside for fresh air, and there’s no better company than a happy dog. Your dog’s safety, wellbeing, and emotional comfort are my top priorities. I hold myself to the same standard of care that I expect for my own, loving, patient, attentive, and always putting their needs first. Because I work from home four days a week and have a 3 day weekend, pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. I’m able to offer regular walks, consistent companionship, and detailed check-ins throughout the day rather than just quick visits. I enjoy building my day around walk breaks, outdoor time, and play, and I genuinely look forward to having dogs as part of my normal routine. I always follow each dog’s usual routine as closely as possible, whether they’re staying in my home or I’m caring for them in theirs. This includes feeding schedules, walk times, play, rest, and any specific instructions provided. I believe consistency is key to helping dogs feel safe and settled. In a pet owner’s home, I’m respectful of their space and aim to keep everything just as they left it. I make sure dogs are exercised, fed on time, given plenty of affection, and never left feeling lonely. I’m also happy to water plants, collect mail, or keep the home generally tidy while you’re away. Safety and wellbeing always come first. I’m vigilant on walks, careful with doors and gates, and attentive to any signs of stress or discomfort. I also send regular photo updates so you can relax knowing your dog is happy and well cared for. Every dog is treated with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own.
“Rhona was lovely and did a great job with our 2 dogs while we were away for a few days! She was very kind and very helpful, giving us plenty of updates and making sure dogs were happy. Thanks Rhona!”

About: I have taken care of my friend's Labrador cross rescue here and there for two years now. my responsibilities included dog walking, feeding, toilet runs, giving her medication, doing runs in the car, and showering her with love and attention. I am currently a full-time nursing student at UoD and have classes throughout the week but I am usually free Thursday to Monday. If I do have to go to a lecture it is usually no more than two hours. In my home with the cats we feed the cats 3 times a day and get let in for attention usually after breakfast and stay in the house (they are outside cats) until their next meal and then go out to eat in the garage while we eat in the house and when everyone is done they are let back in. When petsitting for my friend, we would usually go for 1-2 walks a day and spend most of our time playing in the back garden or driving around with her head out the window. At night we would sit and cuddle together while watching TV and then she would sleep in her bed overnight.
“Both Daniel and Hazel were fantastic. They were kind enough to come and meet Ziggy a few days before and got to know him. They turned up on time, we’re both very relaxed and I knew Ziggy would be in good hands. They kept me up to date on how he was, took snaps and made things really easy. Ziggy had a great time with them, I can tell. Everything was excellent. Thank you.”

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.
