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.

Rosanne was amazing with my two dogs. She was prompt in getting back to me, asked lots of questions to get to know them at our meet and greet and sent lots of photos and messages whilst they were in her care. Will have Rosanne look after my dogs in the future.

About: Hi, I'm João, based here in Glasgow. Dog walking is the main thing I do, and honestly it's my favourite part of the week.
 I like getting to know a dog first, how they are on the lead, how far they actually want to go, what they're funny about. Some dogs want a proper long walk, others are happy pottering about sniffing everything, and either is fine by me. I'm happy to walk wherever suits you best, whatever park or spot your dog already knows, and the lead stays on unless you tell me otherwise.

I also do drop-in visits and pet sitting. With drop-ins I don't just nip in and out food and fresh water, toilet break or litter, a bit of play and some company, and I'm happy to water plants or bring the post in while I'm there. For sitting, I stick as close as I can to their normal feeding times, walks and sleeping spots so the days feel like usual for them.

Cats as well, I've got one myself, Preto, so I know they decide how much attention they want, not me.

Either way you'll get a message and photos after every visit, and if anything seems a bit off I'll let you know there and then rather than leave you wondering.

If you'd like to meet first before booking anything, I'm very happy to do that. If you'd like to meet first before booking anything, I'm very happy to do that. If you're not sure yet, no pressure a quick message costs you nothing and I'm happy to answer anything before you decide. 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: 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.

Amy was incredibly caring and we felt really safe leaving Arwen with her. She made sure to understand Arwen's habits thoroughly. She updated us with multiples pictures during the day. She truly went above and beyond for our pup. Moreover, she's very friendly and nice! We would definitely book her again 😀

About: I love being around animals. Had a cat growing up but always wanted a dog. Now that I am working remotely I was able to fulfil my dream and have a small poodle myself. I know how much time and care is needed to look after an animal. Dogs and cats alike. I am currently working remotely so I have plenty of opportunities to set my schedule around the needs of your best friend. I enjoy taking my lunch break outside and am happy to go for a walk. I live in an apartment. As I have a dog myself it is tidy and dog proof. I have a fenced in garden and Kelvingrove park is about two minutes away. There are plenty of walks close by to discover. During Drop in visits I am respecting the pet owners home. I will keep it clean and organised.

About: Hi, I'm Lauren, I'm 23, a recent Master's graduate who loves running, hill-walking and a cosy movie-night. So, no matter your pet's temperament, I can meet them where they're at! I have had two cats and two dogs growing up, and have spent the last 16 years pet-sitting for neighbours and friends. Having moved away from home, I am absolutely missing having some pets around and so am more than happy to spoil yours! Having had both of my dogs since they were puppies, I have taken part in several puppy-training classes and even managed to get our spaniel to have some decent recall! As I am working from home, I can take pets out for bathroom breaks frequently throughout the day, and am available for ad-hoc calls. I live in a large ground-floor flat, a short walk to Victoria Park and so am happy to spend time throwing a ball around. I have a fenced garden, a smoke-free home and plenty of space for your pet to roam around. We also have a spare bedroom and so if your pet prefers a bit of space, they can chill out on their own terms.

About: I've been a dog parent for 8 years. I raised my Labrador from just 30 days old, walks, feeding, grooming, and nursing him through illness. When he became paralysed in his back legs, I cared for him through that too, learning patience and the kind of attentive, hands-on support dogs with mobility challenges need. He's with my parents now, and while I miss having a dog at home, that experience shaped how seriously I take care. I've also looked after other people's pets, including a Golden Retriever, along with walking and playtime for friends' and family's dogs over the years. I'm in the UK now without a dog of my own, and I'd love to bring that same care to yours. Whether it's a long walk, playtime, or just company on the couch, I'll treat your dog like family. I work from home 9–5 as a data scientist, and it's not a high-pressure role. I would love to have plenty of natural breaks throughout the day for walks, playtime, and check-ins. Your dog won't be left alone for long stretches; I'm right there, just a room away, and always happy for the company while I work. Evenings and weekends are fully open for longer walks, extra playtime, or just cuddles on the couch. Since I work from home, your dog gets consistent company throughout the day rather than being left alone for hours. I build in regular breaks for walks, feeding on schedule, and playtime, and I always keep a close eye on behaviour, appetite, and energy levels so I can flag anything unusual early. Having cared for my own Labrador through both routine care and a period of paralysis in his back legs, I'm comfortable with dogs who need extra patience or mobility support, as well as active, high-energy breeds. Whether I'm in my own home or a pet owner's, I stick closely to the dog's normal routine. I ensure same feeding times, same walk schedule, so they feel settled and secure rather than disrupted by a new environment.

Holly was fantastic with Marvel! She took him on a lovely walk, provided photos, and made sure he was well looked after throughout his stay. When I arrived to pick him up, he was happily snoozing on the sofa so a clear sign he’d had a great time and felt right at home.

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.

About: I grew up with two lively springer spaniels, so have experience with dogs that demand a lot of attention. Working from home full-time gives me plenty of time and flexibility, and I would love to share that with some new four-legged friends and offer overnight boarding and walks. I’m committed to giving your dog the same care and attention I would my own, whether that’s long walks, playtime, cuddles, or a cosy spot to rest. I live with my partner, who is a fellow dog-lover, so your pet will always be welcomed into a loving, dog-friendly home. I work from home so I can be flexible for their toilet breaks. Lunchtime walks in the park and can chill out with me while I work during the week. I live in a spacious flat with room for a crate if needed. Whilst I don't have a garden I live just a stone's throw away from Kelvingrove Park.

About: We are Lauren and Martin, a couple living in the Woodlands area of Glasgow. We have experience in dog sitting of all ages and mix of breeds. We have both been dog owners but current life doesn't allow us to have a doggo of our own full time, so we thrive on sitting and caring for others when we can. We believe that caring for a dog is good for the mind, body and soul. Dogs are the best! We would love to meet your pooch before agreeing any future care. Martin works from home Monday to Friday, both of us are home at the weekend. Early mornings and late nights are all workable for us. Do contact for short time hourly rate/half day/evening. No transport available. Dogs are welcome in our home, pups included. We have an easy going and calm atmosphere. The flat is 3rd floor however we have secure garden access and green park space directly in front of the flat.

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.

FAQs for Doggy Day Care – Glasgow

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Glasgow on Rover is £27.6 per day (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care 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 Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .

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 .
