“Great service once again from David. David looked after our dog Luna for just over 2 weeks. We always felt she was in safe hands and he kept in regular contact with us to let us know she was doing well complete with photos and videos. I would recommend David to others looking for a pet sitter.”
About: My partner and I bought our new home back in March and we are so excited to open it up to lots of dog friends! We’ve been the go to dog sitters for our friends and family for years, regularly looking after dogs for anything from quick weekend trips to fortnight long stays. Everyone recommends us as we couldn’t be bigger dog lovers! We’re used to keeping routines consistent, managing different temperaments, and making sure dogs feel completely at home (in the bed and on the furniture!!) We have our own 9 year old boy, Marley, but he actually has joint custody with my parents because they aren't quite ready to let him leave home full time yet! This setup works brilliantly for hosting: if your dog is great with other pets, Marley is happy to be there, but if your dog isn't good with other animals or just needs to be on their own, Marley will happily stay at his "grandparents'" house for the duration of the booking. Your dog will have full access to our house and although we have a flat with no garden it is by the water and full open plan. Plenty of walks, endless affection, and you'll get regular photo updates while you’re away. Both my partner and I work from home with extreme flexibility. We manage our own calendars which means your dog will rarely be left alone and gets company all day long. We have complete flexibility to stick to your dog’s usual daily routine, including regular toilet breaks, play sessions, and walks around our working hours. We live in a new flat open plan flat with a safe, quiet home environment and great local walking routes right on our doorstep. Our 9 year old dog, Marley, shares joint custody with my parents, meaning we can easily host dogs who need to be the only pet in the flat by arranging for Marley to stay with them. Your dog will have full run of our home and constant care while staying with us.
“Emma & Sandy looked after Willow for 2 nights whilst we were visiting the area for a wedding. We couldn’t have asked for better care, Willow was treated like their own dog, it was like home from home. We received regular updates and photos and it was obvious Willow was very happy. We would definitely recommend.”
About: Work until 2:30pm locally, available outwith these hours. ❤️ Have grown up surrounded by animals, hamsters, rabbits, cats & dogs. Recently welcomed a springer spaniel to our household who we have been working hard to train. Please note any dog that comes to stay with us must be dog friendly due to already having a dog in the house. Love the outdoors and wandering round the parks/beaches and woodland areas that Inverclyde has to offer. Dote on animals and enjoy spending time in their company. Treat all pets as though they are my own. I will care for your pet in their own home by ensuring they feel safe, comfortable and loved whilst sticking to their normal routine. I follow all instructions carefully, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks or playtime to ensure that your pet remains happy and stress free. I also provide plenty of affection, attention and updates so that you know your pet is in safe hands.
“Our Eddie is a return visitor with Jennifer as we know he’s well cared for and happy there. It gives us peace of mind and reassurance when we’re enjoying our holiday, because we know that Eddie is enjoying his holiday too.”
“Bethany provided a lovely home for Dexter. He settled quickly and enjoyed his short stay. Bethany took him out for regular walks and kept me updated with how Dexter was and sent plenty of photos. I would definitely use her again in the future.”
About: I have a level 2 Diploma in Veterinary Nursing as an auxillary nurse, I also had experience caring for animals in vets for pets as a placement.

“Honestly can’t commend Harry highly enough. He looked after our Bailey for 1 week while we were on holiday and Bailey had the best time and was so well looked after. We got photos and updates every day and it felt like Bailey was on holiday too. First time we’ve ever used boarding and I wouldn’t hesitate to use Harry again. If you are boarding for the first time, just book Harry, you’ll have no regrets! Thanks again Harry! :)”
“Found Emma at really short notice before we went on holiday and I am so happy we did. Our boy was treated like one of the family and made friends with Mikey pretty easily. We got plenty of updates while we were away and Waffles looked like he was having his own holiday. Would definitely rebook with Emma!”
“Bronwyn made our dog Walter so welcome on his first stay away from home. When I went to collect him he was relaxing on an easy chair perfectly at home. Could not have asked for more. Bronwyn and family were so kind to Walter and even sent us a photo of him. Thank you.”
About: I have been a dedicated pet owner my entire life, which he sadly recently passed away, and have a deep love and understanding of animals. My personal experience includes caring for my own beloved dog for 15 years, during which I was responsible for all aspects of his well-being, including daily walks, feeding schedules, medication administration, and regular veterinary visits. This long-term commitment has provided me with practical, hands-on experience in managing a dog's routine and adapting care as they age.

I am in a smoke free home, one level flat, ground floor with a large back garden that is fenced and many lovely nature walks surrounding me. It's a warm cosy home, and plenty room for cuddles.

“We recently went on holiday for a week and entrusted our two dogs to Rebecca and family for the second time. From start to finish, the dogs’ experience was fantastic. Rebecca went above and beyond to ensure our dogs were well taken care of. Regular updates with photos and videos reassured us that they were happy and comfortable. Both dogs were well-exercised and clearly loved. We couldn't have asked for better care. Highly recommended and we hope Rebecca and family will have us back next time! Thank you so much ☺️”
“Jessica was great! It was the first time we booked a stay for our dog Zuzu on Rover and he loved his holiday. Jess gave us updates with pictures all the time. We could see how well he was taken care of, going out for walks, getting all the cuddles and attention from the whole family. He had no sign of his usual separtion anxiety and just looked like he had a very good time during his ten days stay! Thanks Jessica :)”

Ivan was great with our 11 year old border collie. He has only ever been with family before while we went on holiday. we were really nervous about leaving him with anyone else but Ivan kept in touch with regular pictures and updates, which really made us feel at ease while being away and our boy looked happy and content in all of them. Will definitely use Ivan again.
Kirsty watched my girl Frankie while we were away for 3 nights. This was the first time leaving her with someone that wasn’t friends or family and we were both nervous. Kirsty put our minds at ease straight away as we were getting updates as soon as we had left the house and she kept us updated throughout trip. I would definitely recommend Kirsty and would love to use her services again in the future. Thank you!

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Inverclyde on Rover is £34.5 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 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.
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 .
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 calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works 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 .
