“I've booked with Ryan twice now and he's an absolute star with my boy, Rory. He listens to care instructions meticulously and provides great feedback. I had no worries at all about leaving Rory in his care.”
“Victor was so very friendly and attentive, Ruso was very settled with him, loved his long walks and was very content on picking him up.. Updates from Victor of how he was doing was great and set our minds to rest. Wouldn’t think twice about booking again. Thank you Victor”
“Kathryn accepted my last minute request to look after my puppy Ziggy. I’m so grateful she was free as I was nervous to leave Zig for the first time but Kathryn was lovely and sent me plenty of updates.”
About: I've had a small dog growing up and have been dogsitting for friends and neighbours for years, including stepping in at the last minute to help out. I have a special soft spot for the sensitive souls; I’ve found that even the most anxious dogs tend to warm up to me. Being Austrian, long walks are in my DNA! When we aren't out exploring, my flat is a place of total relaxation. I’m more than happy to share my space (and my sofa!) for snuggles. I partly work from home, and when I do, I’m there the entire day. This means your pup won't be lonely; they’ll have my company while I work, with plenty of breaks for play time, walkies, and snuggles. On my days off, I love taking even longer walks, so your dog will get all the exercise and fresh air they need. My flat is a safe, cozy space where dogs are welcome to snuggle on the sofa and truly relax. I have a doggy play pen outside my door and lots of nice routes for walks. Whether they want to be my 'paw-ffice assistant' by my feet while I work or join me for a long trek, I adapt my day to their energy level.
“we booked paula last minute and she was so accommodating with us! Barra was very well looked after and came home tired which is a great thing for us! We received lots of pictures and updates of barra through the day. Would recommend!”
About: I’ve cared for both pets and stray animals since childhood, especially the neighbourhood stray cats back in India who taught me patience, trust-building, and gentle handling. I easily connect with shy or anxious pets and pay close attention to their routines, comfort, and behaviour. Whether it’s feeding, basic training, grooming, or keeping their space spotless, I focus on creating a calm, loving environment. What sets me apart is the genuine bond I form with every animal — I treat them with the same warmth and respect I grew up giving to the strays who became part of my everyday life. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine — I’m an early riser, so I’m available for morning feeds, walks, and check-ins, and I keep my afternoons and evenings flexible for drop-ins or longer visits. I enjoy spending unhurried time with pets, so I make sure to plan my day around their needs rather than squeezing them into a tight schedule. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, so fitting them into my week feels more like joy than work. If I’m caring for pets in my home, their safety and comfort always come first. I keep a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment, making sure there’s nothing around that could cause stress or harm. I follow each pet’s routine closely — from feeding schedules to playtime and any special instructions — so they feel secure and understood.
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
“Robin had Wallace for the day and he has come back happy and tired. Robin put my mind at ease after dropping Wallace off and took him for a nice long walk. Would definitely recommend.”
“Thank you, Alena, for giving Ash such a wonderful day! He truly felt at home (he doesn’t burrow under blankets with just anyone). Such a lovely person and clearly cares very deeply about the dogs she looks after. We will definitely be back 🫶🏼”
“Danielle is affectionate and confident. My lively Beddlington Whippet Sam had a fab day with her. Her communication is responsive . Highly recommend her care. Thank you Danielle”
“Nune did a great job looking after my two. She sent regular updates and lots of photos, and the dogs seem to be smiling in all the pictures! I would be very comfortable with her looking after them again. Highly 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.
About: Hi, I’m João, a reliable and caring pet sitter based in Glasgow. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats, providing walks, home visits, feeding, playtime and companionship. I always take the time to understand each pet’s personality and routine so they feel safe and comfortable. I keep owners updated with photos and messages after every visit, and I treat every pet with the same care and attention I would give my own. have a flexible schedule and I’m available mornings, afternoons, and evenings, including weekends. I can provide dog walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, and I’m happy to adapt to your pet’s usual routine whenever possible. My goal is to make every visit calm, enjoyable, and stress-free for both pets and their owners. Your pet’s safety and wellbeing are always my priority. I carefully follow your instructions, keep dogs on a lead unless you request otherwise, and respect your pet’s routine. During home visits, I make sure pets have fresh water, food, playtime, and companionship. I’m also happy to water plants, bring in mail, and keep you updated with photos and messages after every visit.
About: I run my own business outside of Rover but dogs have always been a huge part of my life — I grew up with spaniels and have been around all kinds of breeds. I’ve even helped deliver two litters, so I’m completely comfortable with animals in every situation. I’m a qualified midwife too, so caring for people (and pets) is just who I am. I don’t have my own dog full time anymore which is honestly why I love doing this — I get to spend time with yours. Your dog will be well loved, well looked after, and in very safe hands. I’m currently running my own business so my schedule is genuinely flexible - most days I’m free and I work around your routine, not mine. I do travel occasionally for work and take the odd holiday, but I keep my calendar updated so you’ll always know when I’m available. Dogs aren’t an inconvenience to my day, they’re the highlight of it. I spent years as a community midwife working in people’s homes - so being trusted in someone’s private space is something I take seriously. I’m calm, professional and respectful. Your home will be treated with complete care and your dog will be handled with confidence. I’m used to high-pressure, high-responsibility situations so nothing phases me.

Lucy is an incredible dog sitter, I've been using this app for maybe 5 years now and she's definitely one of the best. She's so good with my dog, incredibly patient and really understands how important consistency is with training. She really takes to time to listen and understand all of the information I give her about him and sends loads of updates throughout the day. I can't recommend her highly enough.
Zeph had a wonderful day with Phuri. When I picked him up, he was happy and exhausted 😂 He is a high energy dachshund, Phuri took him on a couple of walks and sent videos/pictures. Phuri is great at communicating, I felt very at ease leaving Zeph with her. We will definitely be in touch to book her again.
Holly is a fantastic sitter and our little dog felt immediately comfortable with her and Emmet during the meet and greet in the park, and in their home. Holly was very understanding and accommodating to our dog’s toilet and mobility needs as an older gentleman. He was visibly happy and comfortable each day when we came to collect him. The fact that he ate twice each day while there says everything about how happy he was to be with them! Their home was very clean, tidy and comfortable and Madog settled in straight away. Holly maintained communication with us, sending us updates and replying quickly. Holly was very understanding and flexible towards our changing drop off and collection times as we were visiting Glasgow. There was always parking available on the street which made things very easy. Holly and Emmet are two of the loveliest people you will meet. We miss them already! I have no hesitation in giving them a five star review.
Joni was absolutely wonderful. She looked after our Shetland Sheepdog, Willow for three days. Willow can be very nervous when going to someone new without us, and gets a little bit of separation anxiety but when we collected her we could see how happy she had been and she excitedly went into her home the two following days. Joni was amazing at being accommodating with changing pick up times, and she went above and beyond with making Willow feel happy. She took her for walks in the park and kept me updated throughout the day with pictures, plans and news. I would 100% recommend Joni and I would definitely book her services again if we are ever in Glasgow again.
Caragh and Callum were the best sitters for my rescue greyhound! They're both so lovely and take the best care of Dappy. They're trustworthy and it's clear how much effort and care they put into dogsitting. I have no reservations about re-booking with them and it's clear that they prioritise safety and comfort for my dog.
Orla and Aine have looked after Tess a few times now, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them. Tess is always excited to go round and clearly has a brilliant time with them. They take her on lots of lovely walks, and she always comes home happy, relaxed and well looked after. We’d happily book with them again. Thank you both!

There are 911 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Glasgow. About 88% 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.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later collection to match your Glasgow commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust collection and drop-off times when needed.
Your dog’s first day care experience is a big milestone! To help your pup settle in comfortably, we recommend:
- Food and treats portioned for the day, with feeding instructions
- Your dog's lead and collar (ensure tags are up-to-date)
- Any seasonal gear, such as paw-safe wax for winter or a cooling vest for the summer
- Medication, if applicable, with clear dosage notes
- Any special care instructions or training tips to help your sitter provide the most personalised care possible
Tip: Upload this information directly through the Rover app before drop-off. The more context you provide, the better your sitter can tailor the day to your dog.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 .
