“Archie had a return visit with Mark. Everything went well. Mark's communication and reassurance is first class. I would wholeheartedly recommend Mark and will certainly be in contact for future bookings.”
“Excellent service! We booked our dog Penny to be looked after and she was greatly loved and cared for by Kwai Wa N and his family. She was walked, brushed, fed, cuddled etc and sent lots of photo updates each day to see how she was getting on. We will definitely be booking Penny again and as the service was perfect 👌 A*”
“Gill was excellent and put our minds at rest every step of the way. We had an initial meeting with Gill and her lovely, cuddly, and VERY friendly dog, Grace, before our holiday. It went very well and we felt confident we had chosen the right person to look after our girl. When we were on holiday, we had regular communication, updates and photos and we knew our girl was in safe hands. It looked like she was having a great time out on walks with Grace and getting lots of cuddles and attention. Would recommend Gill in a heartbeat.”
“Very communicative and great sitter. nimbus arrived a bit anxious going into a new flat. Spoke to me about it and managed to calm him down well, clear experience with dogs that showed. Would recommend to anyone wishing to use.”
“Anna looked after our black lab pup for one night. We were a bit apprehensive leaving him being only 6 months but Anna was great. Updated us throughout the night and bear the following morning seemed very happy! Would definitely recommend Anna and we would absolutely use here again in the future. Thanks Anna”
“I booked Milena to look after my cat for the day while some work was being done at home, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. My cat came home calm, happy, and clearly well cared for. He settled back into his routine straight away, which says a lot. Would definitely recommend and use again! Thank you Milena :)”
About: I have taken care of cats and various smaller animals as a child up till I was 18 my family always had dogs but we were never allowed one at home due to the cat so always enjoyed my families dogs by taking them walks and watching them whilst my family were on holiday and taking them walks when others family members couldn’t I’ve taken care of small and big dogs I’m a freelance musician so I can work at different times with long periods of time of no work so whatever suits for the owner and I have agreed on available at short notice I follow their care plan set out by the owner as they know best for their animals and I ensure the animals are cared for as and when they need set to their own routine I can walk dogs and watch cats with clear instructions
About: I’ve had dogs all my life, would love to have my own dog again one day but for now I enjoy looking after my close friends and family dogs when they need a sitter. I’m self employed so my schedule is very flexible with regards to being home, taking them out and spending lots of quality time with them. Pets have free rein of the flat, they can cuddle up on the couch with me if they wish and there is an enclosed shared garden also lots of lovely walking routes and parks nearby.
“Alfie has just stayed with Sakshi for the first time for two nights while we went away. I’m quite sure he didn’t want to come home when I went to pick him up! He was a very happy dog and had clearly had a lovely calm and relaxing time with Sakshi and Ash. It was all a bit last minute (our fault!) and Sakshi was brilliant with communicating and organising. We went for a meet and greet visit which made us feel very confident about leaving Alfie with her. Sakshi kept up updated throughout and we’d be very happy to leave Alfie with her again. Highy recommended 😊”
About: After sharing four wonderful years with my rescue Greyhound, Ryan, I sadly had to say goodbye to him in May 2026. He was a huge part of my life and is deeply missed. Like many dog owners, I truly believe dogs are family, and Ryan was always included in everything—from relaxing at home to trips to dog-friendly cafés, pubs, and adventures further afield. Living with a rescue Greyhound gave me first-hand experience of the unique personalities and needs of sighthounds. From understanding their gentle, sensitive nature to their love of a good sprint followed by hours of sofa time, I know how important it is to provide them with a calm, safe, and loving environment. I also spent a lot of time training Ryan and regularly attended neutrality classes with his walker and trainer at Tartan Pets, which helped me develop a strong understanding of dog behaviour and positive handling techniques. Alongside caring for Ryan, I’ve looked after the dogs of family, friends, and neighbours, providing walks, drop-in visits, and overnight stays for a variety of breeds and personalities. I understand that leaving your dog with someone else requires trust, and I take that responsibility seriously. Whether your dog is a Greyhound, Whippet, Lurcher, or any other breed, they’ll be treated as one of the family. I’ll give them the same love, patience, attention, and care that I gave Ryan, so you can enjoy your time away knowing they’re in safe and caring hands! My work schedule offers plenty of flexibility, with my week split between working from home and my local office. Before accepting any booking, I make sure my diary is arranged so your pet has the time, attention, and companionship they deserve. Their care and wellbeing will always be my priority while they’re with me. At weekends, I’m usually out enjoying local parks, relaxing at home, or visiting dog-friendly cafés, pubs, and restaurants, so if your dog enjoys getting out and about, they’ll have plenty of opportunities for walks, fresh air, and quality time together. Whether they prefer an active adventure or a quiet day relaxing, I’ll tailor their routine to suit their needs. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I live in a spacious two-bedroom flat on the third floor (please note there is no lift), providing a calm and relaxed environment where dogs can settle in and feel at home. Outside, there’s a large, fully fenced and gated back court for toilet breaks, and we’re just a short walk from several spacious parks and the River Clyde, offering plenty of opportunities for safe, enjoyable walks and enrichment.
“Idoia and her partner are amazing sitters! Jet came back super tired from all of the activity she had on her 2 night stay! We got loads of updates and plenty of pictures to keep us sane! Once she was home she jumped up on our bed and that was her asleep for hours. Thank you for taking such good care of our precious cargo. We will definitely use Idoia again, and I'm pretty sure if Jet could talk she'd agree.”
“Kiera and her family took such good care of our dog blue when we were away on a family holiday. It’s so lovely to have a home from home to send your dog to. Highly recommend x”
“Holly and Thanos were wonderful with Bond, so kind, friendly, and easygoing. They stepped in on short notice and made everything feel effortless. Bond was clearly comfortable and well looked after. Highly recommend!”
“Dylan looked after our nervous dog Biscuit overnight and was absolutely brilliant. From start to finish, he was calm, reassuring, and a total pleasure to deal with. He kept us updated throughout her stay, sent videos, and made sure we knew she was doing okay — which really helped put our minds at ease. We even forgot to bring Biscuit’s bed and food, but it wasn’t an issue at all — Dylan handled it without fuss and made sure she was comfortable. Knowing she was in such capable and understanding hands meant the world to us. Highly recommend Dylan, especially if you have a dog who needs a bit of extra patience and care. Thank you again!”
About: Hi there! I’m an active, lifelong dog owner and remote worker, meaning your pup will have dedicated companionship, plenty of attention, and a fun, structured routine throughout the day. Having grown up with dogs my entire life, I understand that every pet has a unique personality, routine, and set of needs. I offer dog walking and dog sitting services tailored to keep your pet happy, safe, and well-exercised. Because I work remotely, I’m home for the vast majority of the day and can easily accommodate drop-in potty breaks, feeding schedules, mid-day playtime, and regular outdoor walks. Aside from my remote work, my main hobbies are playing football and practicing martial arts. My active lifestyle means I have plenty of energy for longer walks, games of fetch, or energetic outdoor sessions if your dog loves to move. If your dog prefers cuddling on the couch while I work, they’ll have a quiet, comfortable space to relax right by my side. You can rest easy knowing your dog is receiving attentive, experienced, and trustworthy care while you’re away. I treat every dog in my care with the same patience, love, and effort as my own! I work full time remotely from home. I can have the dogs out for walks every couple of hours with or without my own dog present. I live beside a large park so have plenty of space for exercise. I have a fenced garden which your dog will have open access to all day as I work from my conservatory. I’m fine with the dogs being on couch and bed or have have them held in crate if needed. Completely flexible.
The median cost per night for dog boarding in Glasgow is £30

Yaz and Chris looked after Minnie for a week, the longest she's ever been away from us. I was nervous but the updates I received put me at ease straight away. Their house is a zen retreat for dogs, Minnie looked so calm and relaxed. Thanks so much guys, we appreciate all the love and care you gave to our precious fluffy baby. Couldn't recommend them more ❤️
This was Cody’s second time staying overnight with Mia and Molly and he had a great time! They were super accommodating with a last minute request and excited to have him again, which was lovely. They were mindful of his quirks and kept him occupied while out on walks, so he came home nice and sleepy. Thank you!
Erin and her partner very kindly took dougie at short notice and couldn’t have been more accommodating! Very grateful to them both! they have the most fab home& garden, and dougie was very obviously in his element. Huge thank you again ❤️ I would recommend to everyone:)
Gill was excellent and put our minds at rest every step of the way. We had an initial meeting with Gill and her lovely, cuddly, and VERY friendly dog, Grace, before our holiday. It went very well and we felt confident we had chosen the right person to look after our girl. When we were on holiday, we had regular communication, updates and photos and we knew our girl was in safe hands. It looked like she was having a great time out on walks with Grace and getting lots of cuddles and attention. Would recommend Gill in a heartbeat.
Colombo's stay with Sakshi was great. Communication was brilliant both pre-stay and during the stay. They cared for Colombo so well that he came back smoother and fluffier than when we dropped him! He even had a dog toy waiting for him! We would most definitely contact Sakshi again for future stays.
Shivani is lovely and very accommodating. I missed my flight and ended up cancelling after show only had them for a few hours but she was very friendly and the dogs both loved her. I would be very happy to book again with her in the future and have no hesitation in recommending her to look after your furry friend
Can't thank Lisa enough! Rebooked Lisa to look after Oscar and again he's been looked after so well. Came back to a happy wee dog and had no worries that he was in safe hands the entire time. Lisa was so accommodating when our travel plans unexpectedly changed. Thank you very much 🥰
Rían was well looked after and came home a very happy boy they were very accommodating and nothing was a hassle which let me go and enjoy my holiday with such peace of mind! Would definitely recommend booking them, thanks a million for looking after Rian so well! 😊
Johnny was brilliant with Juno for the week! It's clear that she had a great time, with plenty of walks, coffee shop trips, meeting new people and getting lots of treats! We felt really comfortable knowing she was being so well looked after, and it was lovely to see how happy she was throughout the week. We'd definitely book Johnny again and wouldn't hesitate to recommend him!

FAQs for Dog Boarding – Glasgow
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Glasgow on Rover is £33.22 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

Finding the right boarding environment is all about peace of mind. Boarding with a sitter on Rover helps you find a cosy experience in a real home for your dog.
When searching for a host, look for a sitter who:
- Offers a secure, home-like environment that is clean and welcoming
- Adheres to your dog’s established routine for meals, activity, and rest
- Possesses relevant experience with your pet’s specific breed, size, and personality
- Maintains clear communication regarding the frequency of photo and message updates
Don’t skip the Meet & Greet! The free Meet & Greet is the best way to see where your dog will sleep and who they might play with.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog's vaccines is the best way to be 'boarding ready'. Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Sitters in Scotland may request that your dog be up-to-date on core vaccines, such as Canine Distemper, Canine Parvovirus, Canine Adenovirus (also known as DHP or DHPPi), Leptospirosis and Kennel Cough. Cats may be required to have Feline Panleucopenia Virus, Feline Herpesvirus, Feline Calicivirus, and Feline Leukaemia Virus up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
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 .
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 dog to the closest vet. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
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.
We require sitters to operate in compliance with applicable local licensing requirements. In England, pet sitters who board dogs or provide doggy day care as a business may need a valid licence under the Animal Welfare (Licensing of Activities Involving Animals) Regulations 2018. When vetting your sitter, ask if they meet local licensing requirements for dog boarding. This confirmation is important for coverage under the Rover Guarantee. Read more about our requirement for following local licensing requirements .
