About: I’ve taken care of my border collie since I got her at 13 years old! But since moving away from my parents in a new town I’m looking to meet new dogs!!! I’m currently a uni student looking for a little extra cash outside of my studies. Due to missing my own little pet due to just moving to Glasgow I want to spend all my free time with your fur babies ! I care for my pets as if I would my own !! I mainly would prefer if I were to look after your fur baby at your own house however if this was not available my flat is also okay!

Emma took fantastic care of my Sasha while I was away. She sent regular updates and photos, and it was so reassuring to see how happy and comfortable my cat was with her. Emma is friendly, caring, and clearly loves animals. I would highly recommend Emma to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and attentive cat sitter. I'll definitely be booking Emma again in the future! Thank you so much 😊

Jade took wonderful care of Leo and Thomas while we were away. She was attentive, patient, and clearly understands cats and their personalities. We loved receiving updates and could see how relaxed and happy they were with her. It’s not easy to trust someone with your pets, but Jade made it effortless. Highly recommended.

About: I've had three dogs and two cats throughout my life, and have been a petsitter for a variety of pets for close to a decade. I have taken care of a variety of ages, from puppies to senior dogs, and am experienced in taking care of dogs with medical issues (my own family dog being a medically complex rescue dog). As I now live far from my family dogs, I love any opportunity to care for and hang out with other pets. I currently have a very flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to care for your pet whenever and wherever! I am also great at adjusting my sleep schedule, so should your pet require particularly early walks, late night toilet breaks, and more, I am very capable of accommodating that! While I do not have a designated garden area, I live very near a garden space, so outdoor access remains fairly accessible. I am also fully capable of crating your pet should they require it and can manage any medications they may require!

Couldn't thank Rhea enough for looking after my cat Layla last weekend! Rhea is extremely attentive and a lovely warm personality. She's incredibly calm and gentle which is any pets would to gravitate to. Layla can be quite shy but loved Rhea from the moment they met, think shes Laylas new fave person! I loved getting lots of beautiful pictures and videos after each visit and put me right at ease. Couldn't recommend Rhea enough and can't wait for her to visit Layla again 😊

About: Hiii I’m Gianna! I work in a Pet shop on Hyndland Street (The Partick Pet Food co) so I have experience in different pet needs and ways to help. I have also taken care of a variety of pets including dogs, cats, hamsters, turtles and fishes. My neighbours and family also trusts me with pet sitting duty all the time. Feeding, brushing, walking and playing are my best skills. I have also fostered two puppies for a few weeks 4 years ago, such a great experience. I am currently a Biomedical Science student at university so I will have loads of time that can be dedicated to your fur babies. Fun walks every time!! I currently work at a pet shop in Partick (The Partick Pet Food co) where I have hands-on experience in caring for animals and a strong understanding of pet health and nutrition. I’m confident in providing safe and attentive care! I live in a flat near big parks that I can easily access (e.g Botanics Garden, Kelvingrove Park etc) I also bake and cook so if allowed, homemade snacks! I also provide daily photo & video updates.

About: Hi, my name is Claudia, and I want to spoil your pet! I'm a lifelong pet owner and I petsit for friends and family. From growing up with dogs, cats, birds, and turtles I know each pet is different and unique and needs all the love, care and support one can provide. I am able to listen to what each pet need and care for it as needed. I live in a nice and quiet part of Hillsborough were there is plenty space to take long walks, and I'm a 10 min distance from Colonial Dog Park where my own pup has played and enjoy his time laying on the grass. I am currently offering walking services and dog/cat sitting in the owner's home. This can be overnight stays or commuting if within driving distance. I am comfortable administering medication as long as I am given strict instructions on how to do so. Currently, I am an online Communications & Media student so my schedule is very open. From the months of May to August my schedule will be as mentioned, but afterwards my schedule would be more restricted. Starting September I'm only available weekends, Monday, Tuesday & Thursday evenings. I have a fenced small backyard, one small dog and I'm able to crate small and middle size dogs if needed. I also have Pet Wee Pee Piddle Pads to prevent any pet related accidents.

About: I've grown up with dogs my whole life and have recently moved away from my old man and am looking to give love elsewhere! While being new to Rover I am not new to pet sitting and have looked after a range of dogs from hyper excited puppies to grumpy old ladies. I am happy to housesit over the weekend if necessary and my experience includes: - Petsitting and housesitting for a norfolk terrier with separation anxiety and adhered to her special dietary requirements. - Taking long walks with larger breeds such as golden retrievers and boxers to tire them out so they come home relaxed, sleepy and ready to cuddle ! - Petsitting, walking, and playing with an intelligent Japanese spitz keeping his (and my) brain stimulated. -Petsat for several nights for a bedlington whippet, early morning walks with lots of playing fetch to tire him out. I am starting a new full-time position soon which will affect my weekday availability however I am available weekday evenings, or weekends during the day or overnight. I am unable to care for dogs in my own home due to roommates, however I am happy and willing to look after your pets in your home. I offer drop-ins, and overnight stays. During visits I can update you frequently for your comfort, and will follow any requirements to keep your pup happy and healthy. I will always make sure your dog, and home is treated how I would treat my own.

About: Coming from a family with different breeds of dogs, I’m well versed with both young and mature dogs while being able to understand their needs and attend to each dog accordingly. From dogs that have severe anxiety to the biggest, most playful fluff ball I love them all. Having lived with dogs for years I have no issue with overnight dog care for periods of time and can accommodate appropriate walk and play durations well. Although I work full time I work from home 1/2 of the week and those days are flexible. I’m an early riser so dog walking around the working day is no trouble. I love the outdoors and spend as much time as possible out in the local parks walking or running, going for coffee at the weekend, so dog care fits perfectly here. Living in a flat I have no fenced garden but do have communal green space which I use. My flat is already pet friendly, with nothing around that would cause any danger to dogs likely. In the flat dogs are free to roam free, and are not restricted to crates. Out in public I keep dogs on leads at all times and would never leave a dog tied up alone outside a shop etc. in

About: I’ve grown up with animals and have always loved caring for them. For around five years, I’ve regularly cat and dog sat in my free time. I’ve looked after pets for friends, family and neighbours, and through recommendations for other owners. I have experience with check-ins, dog walking, feeding and spending time with pets, as well as house sitting for several days or weeks at a time. I’m comfortable caring for a variety of breeds, ages and personalities. I have experience caring for senior and older pets and understand the importance of adapting to their individual needs. I always take the time to understand their routine, mobility, exercise, feeding and any specific requirements from their owner. I’m a conscientious, reliable animal lover and take pride in giving every pet attentive, individual care. I work full-time as a mental health nurse, typically working three shifts per week. My working days vary each week, but I receive my rota around 4–6 weeks in advance, so I can plan bookings ahead of time. I’m available to care for pets on my days off and can discuss availability in advance. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, needs and any specific instructions from their owner before they leave. I keep to their usual feeding, walking and medication routines where required, and make sure they have plenty of attention and companionship. I’m mindful of safety within the home, particularly with indoor cats, and follow any rules around doors, windows, gardens and access to certain areas. I also make sure the home is kept secure and tidy while the owners are away. I’ll keep owners updated during their time away and am happy to send regular photos and updates if they’d like. I’ll also let them know if I notice any changes in their pet’s behaviour, eating, toileting or general wellbeing.

About: I got my first dog when I was in primary school and have been taking good care of it until now. It is already 12 years old, so I have experience in looking after elderly dogs. In junior high school, I adopted a sick kitten and had the experience of feeding it milk and giving it injections. I have been adopting it until now and it is already five and a half years old. I currently have plenty of time, so I can be with your pets at any time and take care of them. The time frame is from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. I have a large open-air balcony which is convenient for my pets to play on, and there is a park right downstairs from my house. Besides, my home has soft carpets to protect pets with joint problems.

I can't recommend Linah enough! My cat is very selective about who he trusts, but he always feels safe and comfortable with her. She has a natural way with animals, and it's clear she truly cares. Every experience has been fantastic, and I never have to worry when he's in her care. I will always choose her as my go-to cat sitter!

About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and currently have a dog of my own, so caring for them is something that comes very naturally to me. Since I was around 10 years old, neighbours, friends and family have trusted me to look after their pets, whether that’s feeding them, taking them on walks, or spending time playing and keeping them company. I’m reliable, attentive and genuinely love animals, so I always make sure every pet feels safe, happy and well cared for while their owner is away. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine as I already have a dog of my own and go on daily walks. I am at home all week so I’m available for dog walks, drop-ins, pet sitting and doggy day care. I’m flexible where possible and always make time to ensure dogs get plenty of attention, exercise and care. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always make sure dogs are supervised, walked safely and kept in a calm, caring environment. Having grown up with dogs and owning one myself, I’m very aware of their needs and behaviour. I will follow your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks and any specific instructions, so they feel secure and happy while you’re away. I have a miniature labradoodle named Rory who is very friendly and loves having a doggy companion!

Currently a student so I’m free later on in the day - from 3:30 onwards. Also available on weekends! Very handy for me as I can bring some work to do whilst looking after your dog. Always super aware when looking after someone else’s dog, ready to cater towards any specific needs your dog needs doing! Happy to pop round or have a phone call before hand ;)

About: Had pets my whole life back in Spain, which I miss terribly. I've trained dogs since they were puppies and raised them all the way until the bitter end. Now, here in Scotland, I miss my family's dog terribly so a friend referred me to this app. I absolutely love dogs and cats and I hope I can offer your dog(s) lots of love, treats, and long walks. I'm currently working part-time and I like to keep active, so I look forward to long walks and playtime. I'm fairly flexible so feel free to get in touch and let me know if a time is unavailable on the app but you'd be interested in the service regardless! If I'm visiting, please know that I'm a very respectful person when it comes to other people's homes. I'll keep clean and organised, as if none had even been there and I'm very happy to hear of any specific rules in place. Our home has plenty of blankets and a massive couch at your pet's disposal, and I live very close to the Kelvingrove Park so I can give them lots of walks! We live in a warm and cozy flat, and if we have any furry visitors, they won't be left alone under any circumstances, but instead they'll be cozied up wherever they fancy, while I'm always ready for playtime!

Susan has been an absolute life saver. Had a Pet Sitter cancel last minute when doing a show in the Edinburgh Fringe, smack bang in the middle of the day. She stepped in last minute and has been helping us out for more than 2 weeks now. She's wonderful with our 8 month old puppy and is so caring and tentative with the way we work with our little man. He loves seeing her & we will absolutely be using Susan long after the Fringe ends - because she's amazing!

Jack was an excellent dog sitter. He has a very calm and gentle nature, and it was obvious from the start that he naturally connects well with dogs. He made my dog feel comfortable and relaxed, and I could tell he genuinely cares about animals. I felt completely at ease leaving my dog in his care and would happily recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and capable dog sitter.

Andrea has been amazing, I genuinely can’t fault her. Before even dog sitting for me, she took the time to come and meet Kali, which I really appreciated. She’s been so understanding and helpful, and I honestly can’t describe how grateful I am to have met her ☺️ She’s also such a lovely person, kind, warm and really easy to trust which makes such a difference when leaving your dog in someone else’s care. Kali absolutely loves her and has taken to her so well, which says everything. She definitely goes the extra mile and always makes sure Kali is well looked after, which puts me completely at ease while I’m at work (as dog mums, we always worry 🥹). She checks in regularly, helps Kali learn new tricks, makes sure she’s fed and watered and even takes her out in a sling while she’s waiting for her vaccines. You can tell she genuinely cares about animals, and that means everything. I would definitely recommend her and will 100% be rebooking!!! Thankyou so much Andrea 🫶🥹

Jessica was absolutely amazing! She was great about making a flexible schedule work and was prompt with texts and updates. Our little (60kg) dog normally is shy of strangers but she instantly took to Jessica as if they had been lifelong friends, so we knew she was in good hands. Jessica was also great with taking care of a unique medical need for our dog which we are greatly appreciative of. Would highly recommend and we look forward to booking Jessica in the future!

Caroline was brilliant with my dog cooper and I would highly recommend her. Caroline was always responsive in communication and was accomodating when arranging a meet and greet. Caroline showed a real interest and curiosity about cooper and his needs, and was caring about his welfare. Cooper is newly being left at home while i go out to work, having previously been used to me working from home and is currently experiencing anxiety, which Caroline was patient and understanding of, and was willing to spend extra time to make sure cooper was comfortable. I believe that Caroline is a responsible dog sitter, who will prioritise the welfare and safety of any dog or pet in her care.

Hin Chi Jacobi fed, walked, and cared for my beloved Hans with exceptional professionalism and genuine kindness. My dog couldn’t have been in better hands, and Hin’s dedication was clear in every detail. Even though the visit was meant to be shorter, he spent extra time to move at my elderly dog’s pace. I highly recommend him and truly see a bright future ahead of him in veterinary and animal care.

FAQs for Dog Sitting – Glasgow

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Sitting in Glasgow on Rover is £14.95 per Visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Sitting 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 Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

There are 1,513 sitters on Rover for Dog Sitting in Glasgow. About 82% of Glasgow sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you are planning ahead for public holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day cover for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

Rover makes it easy to find sitters who are available whilst you work. To find sitters who fit your schedule, select which days of the week and the time slots you'd like a sitter to visit. The search results will populate sitters whose calendars match your needs. You can also search for sitters by location, whether that’s a sitter near your office for day care drop-off or a sitter close to your home. Once you've found a sitter who you like, message them directly to schedule a Meet & Greet.

Tip: Doggy day care is another option for pet supervision while you're at work. Visit our doggy day care page for more information.

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.

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 Glasgow 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!

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 .

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.

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.

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.
