“Bella had a great time with Kenny and his wife Norah and Alfie and Molly their dogs. They have a huge enclosed garden and also live near a park with a shallow burn. Bella loves walks and burns. Bella loves the company of other dogs. She was happy to see us back , but didn’t want to leave. That’s a great indication of her having had a great time. We would definitely would use Kenny again, if they were free!!”

“Dieter had a wonderful time at Kevin and Darias! We couldn’t have asked for better sitters. We got lots of lovely pictures and updates and it was lovely to see him interacting with other dogs, playing and relaxing in the sofa. Kevin and Daria had great communication and where flexiable and accommodating. Can’t reccomend them enough !”


“What a fantastic lovely couple. We couldn’t be happier with our dog’s care. He was treated as one of the family, pampered and loved for all his time with them. Would definitely recommend and will be booking him in again should we be in the area visiting again.”


About: I have always had animals growing up. From a young age I was always helping in the responsibility of putting our family chickens to bed, we have over 100 and were counted each night. I worked 3 winter seasons in Austria babysitting/dog sitting so have plenty of experience looking after different breeds of dogs. I also work as a receptionist at a Veterinary Practice so have a good knowledge about cats and dogs. I work full time at a Veterinary Practice that allows us to bring our own dogs into the practice but I also only live a 8 minute walk away and have an hours lunch break for visiting them if they need to stay at my house. Although I don’t have a garden as such there is a field right beside me and a fenced park which is only a 5 minute walk away.
About: I have grown up with dogs of all kinds from a very young age. As a family we have so much love for dogs and understand that they are a part of the family and deserve so much love and the best care. I’m currently working part time and my shifts are very flexible. I also don’t work weekends so I’ll be free evening, weekends and some weekdays to either do home visits or over night boarding at our house. I have a large house with an enclosed back garden. I also live next to a woodland which is great for walks. I have 3 daughters, 5, 9 and 16. All have grown up with dogs, are very gentle and absolutely adore any animals, especially dogs.

Happy to stay in the pet owners home and actually prefer to keep the pet in an environment they are comfortable and familiar with.

“Sharon looked after our dog Gus for a long weekend, we couldn’t recommend Sharon higher! We do a meet and greet the night before to meet them all. She instantly put us at ease and we felt so comfortable leaving Gus. She kept us updated throughout his stay, sent us lots of pictures and generally just delivered 5star care. We would absolutely use her again, she was utterly fantastic and Gus throughly enjoyed his trip”


About: I have had animals since I was a small child and started riding when I was 5. I have had cats most of my life and dogs since I was in my 20s. As well as having my own animal companions, I have been a keen horse riders most of my life and worked with horses/ponies over various times of my life. I have two lovely horses who I ride daily. My dream is to have a small croft where I can have a horse and lots of other animals: goats, sheep and hens. I have 4 collies (2 bitches/2 dogs) who I am bringing on and are well trained and excellent with other dogs. Two of my collies are sheepdogs and I train them regularly. They need a lot of mental and physical stimulation so I am out three times a day, either in the park playing football or further afield at the farm, beach, lochs woods or more rural areas to get plenty of uninterrupted doggo time. I am also experienced in breeding and have raised 3 litters of pups. I work from home Mon- Thùr and take my dogs out three times a day. Fridays and weekends are adventure/play time for longer walks, swimming or exploring new areas. I have a 6ft fenced garden with access to fields, walking tracks, woods. I transport my dogs in a Mitsubishi L200 that is kitted out with transport crates. We love beach time, outdoor swimming and collie-ball (football with collies). My dogs are my best friends and closest companions. I have a teenage son who assists with park and beach walks and shorter walks locally if they require 1:1 time. I work 4 days per week from home and have plenty of flexibility in my schedule. Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays are dedicated to family time and dog time with plenty of adventures 😀 we go on adventures daily and the dogs gets plenty of exercise at the farm where I keep my horse. I have an enclosed back garden and access to fenced fields for exercising the dogs. I am responsible and attuned to the needs of my animals. Health and safety comes first.

About: Student veterinary nurse - soon to be qualified with 4 years experience working in the veterinary industry. I have a lot of experience caring for animals of all shapes and sizes including different personalities, anxious, energetic, elderly and medically complex pets. I am happy to administer oral, topical and injectable medications, qualified in first aid and confident at recognising clinical signs suggesting a pet may unwell. Most importantly I will tailor my care to best suit you and your pet’s needs. I currently work part time due to my studies which means I have multiple weeks of online college throughout the year so I can be available and with your pet all day. During my working weeks I am able to let pets out for a toilet break every 4 hours minimum and can be with them from 430pm until 730am the following day. I have a large fenced garden which is fully secure and pet friendly. I also have my Jack Russel Dori who loves making friends and playing but is also happy to chill out and be calm around other dogs.

“Where do I begin, I honestly can't recommend Chris and Laura enough! Leaving Willow (my 10 month old sprocker) was a big thing for me, but they made me feel completely at ease from the very beginning. She had the best time and came home so happy. Before her stay, we'd already agreed to add one of Chris's training packages alongside the boarding for an additional cost. I can honestly say it was one of the best decisions I've made. The difference in Willow has been incredible. Before, she never really settled outside of her crate, she jumped all over everyone and would run off at every opportunity if something caught her attention. Since coming home she's so much calmer, settles around the house on her own, happily lies at my feet while I'm doing things, and is so much better with the kids and other distractions around her. She's learnt so many new skills and commands, but more importantly she's learnt how to relax. I'm genuinely so grateful. Willow is such a big part of our little family and Chris has made such a positive difference to our day-to-day life. The training has given us the confidence to carry on what he's started, and I honestly can't thank him enough. Thank you both so much for looking after our girl. She'll definitely be back! ❤️”

About: With a PhD in chemistry, I bring a high level of discipline, care, and attention to detail when looking after pets. Since moving to the Highlands and stepping away from full-time scientific research, I am dedicating my time to being in the outdoors and continuing to care for animals. I have extensive personal experience looking after dogs of all temperaments, ensuring they get the structure, safety, and affection they need. I regularly looked after a friend's dog for weekend stays when living in London; I currently walk a friend's dog and enjoy taking them on the beach. You can count on me for clear communication, reliable routine management, and attentive care for your dog. Pet care is a central part of my daily life, and because I work for myself, my schedule is completely open and flexible. Whether your dog needs an early morning stretch, a midday walk, or someone around for the whole afternoon, I can easily fit into their routine. I love taking the time to make sure every pet gets plenty of exercise, affection, and attention without ever feeling rushed. For me, treating your pet like family comes first, and that means keeping them safe, happy, and comfortable. I'm always mindful of your pets' specific needs and keep a close eye on how your dog is feeling throughout the day. I respect your home as if it were my own, strictly follow your care guidelines, and love sending regular photos and updates so you never have to worry while you're away.

About: I have years of experience looking after all kinds of dogs. I have owned rescue dogs and ran a doggy day care centre as a previous job. I will treat your fur ball as if they are my own and enjoy long walks with my 2 own furry friends. I can adapt to your dogs needs and have experience looking after puppies and senior dogs. I work from home Tuesday to Friday so am here all day and will be with your dog all the time. I can walk them daily in the woods and they can run about the garden or have a nap in the house whenever they want. I have a large fenced garden and 2 dogs to keep your dog company. I live beside the woods which is easily accessible for walks. Your dog can sleep where ever they feel most comfortable and I will treat them like they are my own

“Absolutely fantastic Trevor had been at vets so wasn't in the best way but Naomi put our minds and Trevors at total ease so much so Trevor refused to come home would definitely use again if she can put up with Trevors snoring again , 5 stars at least x”

“Sandra did a lovely job caring for Morgan for 3 nights. She sent an update on the first day with photos which was very reassuring. Morgan looked happy and healthy when picked up. I would highly recommend Sandra.”

“We had not used a dog boarding service before and were quite apprehensive about leaving our Cocker Spaniel, Keira, with a stranger for two weeks. However, after our initial visit to meet Kerry and her own pets we felt more at ease and happy that Keira would be able to settle down with her new friends and family. During our holiday Kerry responded to our messages promptly and kept us informed about Keira’s integration into her new surroundings. I would say that Keira was made very welcome and possibly even spoiled by Kerry and her family so, she would have felt very comfortable in her new “home”. I can highly recommend Kerry as a dog boarder and would have no hesitation in using her services again. Thank you so much for looking after our precious pup. William”

Riemu had an amazing time at Katrina’s, she would have happily stayed there longer, snoozing on the sofa!! She warmed to Katrina straight away and was very contented when I picked her up. Katrina was great at providing updates and pictures. Riemu also had a sore leg and Katrina adapted Riemu’s care to accommodate this, which I really appreciated. Thank you from me and Riemu!!!

Finding the right boarding environment is all about peace of mind. Boarding with a sitter on Rover helps you find a cosy experience in a real home for your dog.
When searching for a host, look for a sitter who:
- Offers a secure, home-like environment that is clean and welcoming
- Adheres to your dog’s established routine for meals, activity, and rest
- Possesses relevant experience with your pet’s specific breed, size, and personality
- Maintains clear communication regarding the frequency of photo and message updates
Don’t skip the Meet & Greet! The free Meet & Greet is the best way to see where your dog will sleep and who they might play with.
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.
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.
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.
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest vet. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorisation form for your regular vet. An authorisation form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
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 .
