“Ryan and his partner were absolutely fantastic with our 8 month old pup! Me and my boyfriend were nervous leaving her with someone for the first time but she had the best time and I was very regularly updated with photos and videos, I would be very happy bringing her again :)”
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: Hello! I have grown up with both dogs and cats and have lived with a Labrador for the last few years. I am now living in my own flat on my own and would love to have some company. I have a shared garden which can be used as well as my own balcony. I also live super close to the Clyde and to Kelvingrove park for walks😊 I am in the office every Tuesday and Thursday. However I am available on other days (including weekends if no plans) to look after your dog, take them on lunchtime/evening walks and to sit out with them on the balcony I have a flat and an enclosed balcony. I also have a dog bed and water bowl as I frequently dog sit my friends dogs!
“Obi had a great time with Paula. He has been crashed out all evening and normally doesn’t sit on his bum. You and pub sure tired him out. Would recommend Paula 100%. Thank you for taking such good care of Obi.”
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.
“Celia and her sister were really lovely and immediately put our dog at ease with cuddles and gentleness. We got lots of pictures during Paola's visit too which was so reassuring!”
“Nune did a wonderful job looking after our 7 month old puppy Goose. Nune send lots of photos, updates and provided a clear post-sitting report which was really helpful. Nune also had a wide selection of toys to keep Goose stimulated throughout the day and he came back a tired doggo. Would definitely recommend and will book again if Nune is available.”
“My Golden Retriever puppy always has a fantastic time with Vira! Skye is always so happy to see her and spend her day in her home. Great updates throughout the day and plenty of photos and videos. Thanks again!”
About: I have over 3 years of experience caring for animals and genuinely love spending time with pets. I and my friend(flatmate), Ash regularly dog sit and host her cousin’s Cavapoo who lives in Edinburgh, providing walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention. I also have a small dog rescue back home, which has given me hands-on experience caring for dogs with different personalities and needs. I am patient, reliable, and committed to making pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. Additionally, Ash works from home full time so she is always there while I work 5 mins away, which makes providing everything you need, more accessible. I currently work part-time at Cake Box GWR and also spend part of my week working from home. My best friend and flatmate works from home full-time, so there’s always someone at home to provide company, supervision, and care. We’ve also looked after a 4-year-old Cavapoo on several occasions, including stays lasting several weeks, and it fit seamlessly into our daily routine. Between both of us, we have flexible schedules and are happy to accommodate your pet’s individual needs, whether that’s sticking to a specific feeding routine, administering medication, or simply providing plenty of playtime, cuddles, and attention, basically whatever you need! I’m a big believer that pets are happiest when they feel comfortable, so my aim is to make them feel as at home with me as possible. Whether they love playing all day or would rather curl up in a sunny spot on the sofa and nap, I’m happy to oblige. I live in a bright, spacious two-bedroom flat with a big living room (great for cats) that gets loads of natural light, and there are plenty of great walking routes nearby. Kelvingrove Park is only about 10 minutes away, so dogs have lots of options for walks and new smells to explore. Because I work part-time and from home, and my flatmate works from home full-time, there’s always someone around to keep your pet company. We’ve looked after a Cavapoo for weeks at a time, so we’re used to having furry guests around and making them part of our everyday life. I’ll always stick to your pet’s routine as closely as I can, whether that’s meal times, walks, medication, or just their favourite way to relax. And of course, I’ll send plenty of photos and updates, because I know how much it helps when you’re missing them!
“Kiera was so great with Lola! Lola can be a little high maintenance due to her complex needs so it’s always a worry leaving her, but Kiera was so reassuring before by meeting up and then sending me updates. Lola was even relaxed enough to eat which she doesn’t always do when away from home. Lola was so chilled the rest of the night after I picked her up so knew she had a great day. Would absolutely recommend Kiera! Thanks so much again! 💕”
“We would be lost without Orla. Our little dog Rex absolutely adores her and gets so excited every Tuesday morning to stay with her for the day. I would not leave Rex with anyone else and highly recommend that others do the same!!”
“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”
“Negin was amazing with our dog! ❤️ she sent us so many updates and he looked so happy and content, got so many walks and she followed our instructions to a T. It was a last minute booking and we were so grateful to her, our mind was put at ease as soon as we left! He came home tired and chilled. will definitely use again thank you Negin ❤️”
“Amy is so lovely, I couldn’t recommend her enough to look after your dog. Flossie is always a very happy (and tired) boy after his visits. Lots of photos/ videos/ communication from Amy too. 10/10!”

Andrea is our new best doggie carer ... Alf and Daisy really do not like being away from Chris and I. And are normally really stressed about it But Andrea kept them calm and gave them time to settle, and they were really well cared for. Loads of photos to keep us posted on them, and extremely flexible when we had some last minute change of plans.... We are very happy to have found someone who cared for Alf and Daisy the same way we care for them.....
Jack is a very friendly and responsible person who was great with our dogs. While we were at a concert, Jack took the dogs out thrice on short walks, which they will have loved. As our dogs can be a bit anxious when left alone with a stranger suddenly, we asked if Jack would be fine to go for a short walk together with us and the dogs before leaving them. I highly recommend Jack for dog sitting and will reach out to him in the future whenever we need someone to watch our dogs.
Amy and her partner were fantastic with Tess and took such great care of her. Tess was really happy and settled with her, and it was clear she’d been well looked after and had a great time. Amy was friendly, reliable and kept us updated throughout. We’d have no hesitation in booking her again and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone caring and trustworthy to look after their dog. Thanks again 😊
Soojin was brilliant! She made Oslo's days exciting and fun packed. She kept us updated with photos of the long walks and how he was doing. Oslo came back very happy and content. On the next visit he pulled me all the way to her door! Thank you for giving Oslo a great experience.
Lucy was exceptional!! I have left my dog with so many people over the years and never have I been more sure than my dog was well loved and living his best life!! So many updates, that I loved, and just had total confidence in her. Will absolutely be using her again! Sunny has just had the best day!!
Rachel was brilliant with Ringo, provided nice updates and pictures throughout the day and kept in communication to make sure we could make his stay work. As a generally nervous dog he seemed completely relaxed thanks to Rachel’s calmness and willingness to put up with a silly boy for a day, couldn’t recommend her enough!
Annika was great with Luna, who can be quite energetic and needy as a younger dog and a spaniel! She took her for a walk and looked after her in her home for the whole day. Luna came back very content. Annika even came to our flat to pick up and drop off Luna. We organised to meet her before the day and Annika was happy to come and have a little walk to meet Luna.

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

There are 895 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 .
