“Danielle looked after my puppy who had the best time with her! I loved receiving the many pictures and videos from Danielle playing with my Lola and felt such relief knowing she was in such great hands! Danielle had great communication with me throughout her time caring for my puppy and I was so glad to feel as calm as I did when she was with my pup! Would definitely recommend Danielle to others and will be booking again. Thank you!”
“Shauna was incredibly patient with my cat and managed to gain his trust in just a few days. I am very grateful to have had her caring for my boy while I was gone. Great sitter 🤍”
“Paige is AMAZING! She bonded with my cat Zaya instantly and took care of her as if she were her own. She followed every instruction, understood exactly what Zaya needed, and even managed to brush her — a miracle in itself. She looked after my flat beautifully too, spotting a problem with the electric toilet and fixing it right away. I loved the constant updates and photos; it made being away so much easier. Paige’s passion for animals is obvious, and her care goes above and beyond. I trust her completely and have already rebooked her. Truly an outstanding cat sitter and a wonderful person. Thank you, Paige, for taking such amazing care of my precious Zaya. You’re an absolute star.”
About: Hi, I’m Martina, a caring and reliable pet sitter with six years of experience looking after both dogs and cats. I know how hard it can be to leave your pet with someone new, so I do everything I can to help them feel safe, relaxed and well cared for. I always take the time to get to know their routine, personality and little quirks, and I’ll carefully follow any instructions you leave. I’m particularly comfortable with rescue dogs and dogs who need a bit of extra patience. My own dog, Bob, is a Romanian rescue with reactivity issues, so I understand how important it is to recognise triggers, keep walks calm, respect boundaries and adapt to each dog’s needs. I also share my home with Ray, my beautiful long-haired cat and, of course, tiny prince of my world! I know cats often need a gentler approach: patience, respect for their space and attention to the small signs that tell you how they’re feeling. Whether your pet needs a calm walk, a drop-in visit, some company while you’re away or care in their own home, I’ll look after them with the same kindness and attention I give my own pets. I’m also happy to send updates, messages and photos, so you can relax knowing how your pet is doing. My aim is simple: for your pet to feel happy and comfortable, and for you to feel completely at ease. I’m a freelance translator, so I have a flexible schedule and can fit pet care around my working hours. I’m able to arrange walks, drop-in visits and house sitting with plenty of flexibility, and I can often accommodate different routines and schedules. I’m happy to discuss your pet’s needs and find a schedule that works well for everyone. I have six years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats, including pet sitting for friends and family. I’m also a cat owner and have experience caring for a rescue dog with reactivity issues, so I’m comfortable adapting to different personalities, routines and needs. I’m confident with walks, feeding, playtime, litter care and keeping pets comfortable and safe.
“I cannot recommend Linah highly enough!! She truly went over and above for our cat Jaffa while we were on holiday. Linah built such a trusting relationship with Jaffa that Jaffa was able to show her affection, which is the first time she has done so with another human. Linah is so professional and clearly very good at what she does. Her communication was excellent. We received around 20 photos of Jaffa and videos every day so we felt very reassured she was being well cared for. We will not hesitate to book with Linah again.”
“Christiana is incredibly friendly, easy to communicate with and extra helpful. I trust that my cat Leeloo is safe in Christiana’s hands, and Leeloo likes her, so that’s the seal of approval!”
About: I’ve had dogs ever since I was a kid . I’ve also owned several throughout my life. I’m good with training and I’m quite strong so can easily handle dogs. Also got experience with my aunts senior dog and know they may need medicine and a bit extra help. Currently working from home so plenty of time on my hands. I enjoy the outdoors so figured this would be the best way to spend my extra free time. I’ve got a big back garden, lots of space, I’m happy having pets up on my bed or on the sofa but also know how important it is to keep routine so I’ll go with your instructions and keep that going.
About: As a current university student my whippet Charlie is sadly back at home without me so all my love, care and time for dogs has no where to go! I trained my whippet from puppy age so have experience with training and caring for puppies. I have also previously lived with and cared for rescue dogs such as a lurcher so have experience with dogs which may have additional needs including separation anxiety and social anxiety. I have experience looking after multiple different breeds such as dachshunds, jack russels and sighthound breeds. As a university student with the majority of my lectures online I am very flexible and have lots of free time to spend with pups. My only days on campus are Wednesday and Friday but i would still be available on the evenings of these days. I especially love going on walks so daily walks with a dog would fit seamlessly into my weekly routine. As i live in a flat with no garden i am best suited to care for dogs in my home that are of smaller breeds. However, i do live 5minutes away from Kelvingrove park so providing your dog with plenty of outside exercise time will be no obstacle. My close proximity to the park makes me the ideal dog walker and i am confident and experienced in walking larger and stronger dogs.
About: I have looked after numerous pets (barring my own two GSDs) such as a little Maltese dog, a frenchie and three cats. I am understanding and very caring towards animals, so I understand if you have a pet who is quite particular or older and has different needs to others. Happy to help with whatever your pets need 😊 I have plenty of time to stay over and walk your pets as I am currently job seeking and will be going off to university soon 🤍 I understand that peoples pets are very much their babies, and so, much like I treat my own dogs I treat others pets as babies 😊 I love all animals and I am very understanding that some may need more tending to whether they suffer with separation anxiety or simply being older and needing to go out more 🤍
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!
“Carolina was exceptional with my elderly dog who can be super sweet but super stubborn if she won’t go out with bad weather! Carolina kept me well Informed, made sure Cassy was well looked after and her needs taken care of. Highly recommend her!”
About: Southside based. We both grew up around family dogs. We have looked after cockapoos and Weimaraners. Dog sitter for extended family. We’d love to have our own dog but thought this would be the perfect alternative. We love nothing more than a cosy night in or a nice long walk, we have plenty parks available to visit. We both work full time however there is always someone working from home. We work full time however there is always someone working from home. We are also flexible with work so able to let dogs out to the toilet We have an unfenced communal garden with friendly dogs and plenty of parks within walking distance. We’re very laid back around dogs on the sofa and in bed.
About: With 10 years of experience caring for dogs and cats, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to pet care. What sets me apart from other caregivers is my lifelong exposure to animals. Since I can remember, I've been raised with pets, allowing me to develop a deep understanding of their needs and behavior. This experience ensures that I can provide attentive and compassionate care to all pets, ensuring their well-being and happiness while under my supervision. My schedule is flexible, allowing me to accommodate pet care seamlessly into my daily or weekly routine. Whether it's feeding, walking, or spending quality time with pets, I can adjust my schedule to meet their needs effectively. In my home or at the pet owner's house, safety and trust are my top priorities. Depending on the service offered, I ensure pets are in a secure environment where they feel comfortable and loved. With my boyfriend and me both being raised with animals, our home is a safe space where pets receive the care and attention they deserve.
“Benjamin was very attentive and took great care of my cat, Micia, when I was away on holiday. Regular updates and photos were provided ensuring me that Micia was in good hands and her usual self!”
“Cameron is a gem! Always super responsive and leaves detailed sit summaries showing he really cares about the providing quality care and takes a huge amount of anxiety away when leaving your pet. Highly recommend.”
About: I’ve taken care of medium and larger dogs since a young age. I have experience with dog sitting and walking! I am open to walking and house sitting for pets. I currently work full time but have availability to walk/pet sit in the evenings and at weekends. Flexible around your needs and timings. My partner also has lots of experience with pets and will support your pets. I have a big open flat which is next to many parks and green spaces. There are many rooms for your dog to play in.
About: Hi, we're Kathryn and John. We are a couple living in Glasgow with our 2 pets, a cat and a dog. Kathryn has grown up around dogs and has had a few in my life so far. John has had cats for years and we are both big animal lovers. We currently have a 2 year old Goldendoodle named Luna who will be friends with literally anyone who looks at her lol. If your dog is friendly and would like to have a companion on their walk, Luna will happily tag along. If your dog is not so keen on other dogs, Luna is perfectly happy sitting at home on her own for an hour or two so she won't be offended lol. We have trained our own dog to be very well behaved on walks and are more than happy to follow any rules or specific training you have with your dogs to keep them safe and happy throughout their walks. Kathryn is in a wheelchair with a sturdy leash attached for our own dog, so John will be the one who will collect your dog for their walk if there are any stairs involved. Neither of us work so we are free pretty much 24/7. Our daily routine includes taking our own dog for 2-3 walks a day and standard daily household chores. On Wednesday evenings, John is playing away from 5:30pm-8pm. On Thursday evenings, Kathryn is away from 5pm-9pm. On Friday evenings, John is away from 4-7pm. These are the only times where it would be one of us walking your dog is required. Any other time, there will be 2 of us (3 if Luna is allowed to join lol) We do not offer boarding in our home due to us having a cat as well who will not be friendly with strange dogs in the house.
“Amrita was able to fulfil an extended booking on fairly short notice. She was able to bond well with a cat that is not particularly fond of strangers, and I returned home to a happy pet. She was also able to complete a couple of minor tasks while I was away and left the place clean and as hair free as possible.”
“Lucas always does such a fantastic job of looking after our cat and we would highly recommend him! He sends regular updates and is always so kind, professional and our cat is clearly comfortable with him. Thank you Lucas ☺️😲”
“Rhea was fantastic! She showed up right on time, handled our big, energetic dog like a pro, and was super kind and caring. We’ll definitely be asking her to help again, highly recommend!”

Danielle was an excellent sitter for Charley and Monkey She handled Charley really well, who can be reactive to other dogs and Monkey who needs medication. Danielle was excellent at communicating with me about how her visits went. I would definitely recommend her and will use her again
It’s was amazing having Chelsea check in on our kittens while we were away for a few days. She went over and above - moving our plants out of harms way from the little nibblers - and keeping us up to date with everything that was going on at home. Would highly recommend and will definitely use Chelsea again (if she’ll have us!!) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thank you so much Tamika, what a lifesaver <3 You're the best! I had an unplanned journey and had less than 24 hours to find a dogsitter for my collies and luckily Tamika answered the request. Her communication was excellent and she is clearly very experienced with dogs. Davey and Rosy absolutely loved her from from the get go. Her calm energy relaxed them instantly (something which is doesn't always happen when they meet new people). She was there to let me know everything was all good when I checked in. Thanks so much Tamika so grateful for you!!
Valeriia and Yuliia were brilliant pet sitters for Flo! They were so punctual & communicated with us both during and after their visit so we knew Flo was looked after well. She’s got allergies and they made sure they asked lots of questions about this during the meet & greet too - our minds were truly at rest! We’d absolutely use Valieriia & Yuliia again and 100% recommend! ⭐️
Lucas is the best sitter you and your cat(s) could wish for: kind, reliable and very good at communicating when you’re away, Lucas does not only look after your cat(s) brilliantly. He also offers to do things of his own initiative, which is very helpful and puts your mind at ease when you’re not at home. We will definitely see him again! Thank you Lucas!
Kirsteen looked after my cats, Pearl and Parker, for two days and was absolutely fantastic. She kept me updated with photos and little check‑ins on how they were doing, They were very well cared for and content. I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Glasgow is £15 per Visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between £10 and £22 per Visit.
On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 1,819 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across the city of Glasgow. About 85% typically respond to requests within 60 minutes.
Enter your address and booking dates to see which sitters are available near you. You can also message multiple sitters to improve your chances of finding the right care.
Yes. There are up to 1,819 pet sitters offering care in and around Glasgow. To find a sitter who is available during your working hours, enter your address, select the days and time slots when you need care, and review matching local profiles.
Depending on the sitter’s schedule, you may be able to arrange a one-off visit or recurring care on selected days of the week. Confirm the visit timing and frequency before booking, as availability and service areas vary by sitter.
You can book overnight boarding with a local sitter on Rover, where your pet stays in the sitter’s home while you're away. If your pet is more comfortable staying at home, house sitting or scheduled drop-in visits might be a better fit.
Consider how much company and supervision your pet needs, how they respond to unfamiliar homes, and how long you'll be away. Review each sitter’s profile and arrange a Meet & Greet before booking.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a key safe. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalised codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in a flat, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or lift etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter must complete an identity verification process before listing their services on Rover. This process checks that the sitter’s identity matches their provided documents.
Identity verification doesn't assess a sitter’s experience or suitability for your pet. To see if a sitter is the right fit, you can review each sitter's profile for ratings, verified reviews, repeat pet owner information and care style. We also recommend arranging a Meet & Greet to discuss your pet’s needs and make sure the sitter is the right fit before booking.
For more details, visit our Trust & Safety page.
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who've never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover, but you're welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you've previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you're booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you'll have a chance to go 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. A Meet & Greet is a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three- or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-in visits, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12.00 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our booking protection will kick in. This means you'll get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
