“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter than Robyn Our Golden Retriever can be a little needy at times, and because she’s truly like our daughter, it was so important for us to find someone who would care for her as much as we do—especially while we were away getting married. I found Robyn on Rover after reading a few of her reviews and decided to reach out. Straight away, she gave off such a warm and welcoming vibe. When we met in person, Bailey took to her instantly, which meant everything to us. Robyn asked lots of questions about Bailey, which really reassured us that she genuinely cared about getting to know her. We also arranged a shorter sitting session beforehand so both Bailey and Robyn could get comfortable with each other, which was such a great idea. On our wedding weekend, Robyn arrived right on time and even brought us a little gift, which was such a kind and thoughtful touch. Throughout the day, she kept us updated with photos and messages, so we always knew Bailey was happy and well looked after. When we got home, Bailey was so excited to see us—but it was clear she’d had a lovely time too. Thank you so much, Robyn—we’re so grateful”

“Chloe was great with Axel, she has experience with large breed dogs and his size and cheeky behaviour did not put her off. Chloe came for a meet beforehand and is a confident, happy young lady. Chloe arrived on time as arranged and could not fault her. Axel had a great time in her company.”

“Christina came to pet sit for my 10 month old Great Dane Cassie and 8 1/2 year old English bulldog Claudia, both dogs were spoiled - absolutely loved Christina as we had a meet and greet earlier in the week .. I loved all the updates- photos and texts that Christina sent throughout her stay , so thoughtful and mannerous. I had left a washing hanging out and Christina had kindly brought it in and folded all away , great house guest - lovely caring kind young lady I came home the next evening to happy dogs which means a happy me would definitely recommend”

“Jessica was brilliant and so keen to get all essential info about my dog Winston before watching him. She kept me updated all the time and even sent a few pictures of Winston having a great time. Couldn't recommend Jessica more!”

“Christy was amazing. We got lots of updates throughout the day with pictures both our dogs had a great time and were very well taken care of. We would definitely ask Christy to watch our dogs again.”

“An absolute superstar, thanks again Sidney! She stayed in our home for 1 week taking care of our dog Charlie, sent regular updates and photos and left our house is such a nice and clean state. Everything went so smoothly and we left on our first holiday together with our children knowing Charlie was left in safe hands with lots of attention, cuddles and calmness ☺️ would without hesitation book you again and recommend you to whoever was looking for a reliable and kind soul to look after your four legged best friend 💞”


About: I have taken care of dogs my entire life as my mother and I are an avid pet lovers who help animals in need find a new home. I have previous experience sitting and caring for puppies and disabled dogs who need that little extra bit more care. I only am able to care for small dogs however I have the experience with disabled, senior dogs and puppies. I am currently in full time university and my days would fluctuate between mid September and early April. I will update my schedule when my university gives me my timetable however I am off university until mid September and am free every day until then. I am only able to care for your dogs/cats in your own home and in their own environment. I have no requirements and no allergies. I am only able to pet/ house sit for up to 2 weeks at a time. I am able to send as many updates whether that is phone calls, messages, photos or videos. I can follow strict routines that your fur baby may have so that there is not much disturbance to their daily life.
“Ashlynn's knack for dogs is pretty evident. My Aussie pup and I were instantly at ease with her laid-back approach. Ash has this comfortable, easy-going vibe; she definitely she speaks dog and human equally well and is an absolute pleasure to chat to. Looking forward to more of those relaxed and enjoyable encounters (:”

“We were lucky enough to have Jo look after our two cats when we were away. She moved into our home, kept everything in perfect order and was brilliant with them. Jo sent us regular updates which was such a relief. Her messages and photos gave us peace of mind and made us laugh. Jo is reliable, trustworthy, kind, and clearly a natural with animals.”

About: Fully insured experienced pet sitter🩷 I offer one to one care, in Glasgow. I have been working with dogs my whole life, and have experience with all breeds, sizes and natures. I work full time from home, so I am literally always at home! I have lots of breaks throughout a working day and I also get rotational days off. I live in a flat, but have a garden and lots of parks and suitable walking routes near by me! My home has plenty of space for pets.

About: As a long term owner & lover of hounds, I have a deep understanding of their unique needs & sensitivities. I’m home-based & with mine most of the time, so I decided to open my doors to more. I’ve found it can often be challenging to find sitters who truly understand how these beings tick. I’m definitely a hounds over humans kind of person & never tire of spending time around them & getting to learn about their quirks. I specialise in the care of Greyhounds, Whippets, Saluki’s, Italian Greyhound's, Galgos, Deerhounds, lurchers & at the opposite end of the spectrum- little Dachshunds. I have owned a Deerhound in my time, & currently own two Saluki’s & a little sausage. I also have years of experience under my belt with my sister’s rescue Greyhounds, who each came with their own stories & considerations to navigate. My Saluki’s enjoy being around other hounds, though they are well versed in understanding that the final word belongs to the Sausage! (this also applies to the humans in the house…) I work from home & am around for the hounds 24/7. I am incredibly fortunate to have access to a secure dog field each morning, so a typical day involves giving them a free run in the morning & back for chill time. I’m located opposite a park so extra mooches if required are readily available. I’m guilty of going a little overboard to create a calm space for hounds to relax. We have beds everywhere & they are free to roam in & out of the fully fenced garden as & when they please (when dry of course). On good days they’re free to lounge in the sun. For indoor snooze time, snuggle blankets are non-negotiable & relaxing dog music is often played. Ridiculous I know, but they love it! If you require sitting in your own home, I would be keen to learn all about your hounds routine & needs, & will happily follow their rule book.
About: I’ve got experience with both puppies and senior dogs. I know how to keep pups busy and how to give older dogs the calm, gentle care they need. I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfy while you’re away. I also have experience with dogs who require medication due to medical conditions, after caring for my own boy Oscar who’s sadly not with us anymore due to old age. Canine First Aid and CPR trained. I’m currently awaiting a start date for my new job so I’ve got all the time in the world to give them the love and attention they need. I only offer care in the pet owner’s home, as I have a German Shephard of my own who’s a bit anxious around other pets. This means your dog will get my full attention in their own familiar space, which helps reduce stress and keeps their routine consistent. I’m big on safety, keeping doors secure, following feeding and walk schedules, and making sure your pet feels happy, relaxed, and loved while you’re away.
“Agnes was amazing. My wee dog Ginger is a very nervous rescue. Agnes met her before she looked after her.This was the first time I had left her & I was so worried. I needn’t have been. Agnes kept regular contact & sent me regular pics & I could tell that Ginger was happy & settled. I can’t thank Agnes enough & I would recommend to anyone.”

“Denise and her partner were great sitters and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. Our dog and cat were very happy with them, and Denise sent us daily updates. The house was spotless when we returned - the bedding was even laundered and fresh towels put in the bathroom. They even thought to leave us bread, milk and butter. So thoughtful, communication was excellent and it felt good to know our home and pets were so well looked after.”

“Paulina was excellent with my dogs I have 4 very individual characters and she meet everyone of their needs and kept in constant contact with contact. They clearly settled with her and were very happy and content when we arrived home from our holiday Would defo recommend her but also would love to keep her as my secret as she is that good 🩷”

“Aileen was a star from start to finish, regular updates and photos. Alfie loved her and we came home to a clean, tidy house and a happy, well looked after Labrador. Great service from a lovely lady.”


About: I have grown up around dogs my entire life. From a young child, I would lie in my dogs beds and play with them over any human. I have been asked by various family members and friends to look after their furry friends over anyone else. I understand all types of dogs and their needs and I guarantee that I will become their new best friend 🤍 I currently work in a dog friendly bar, zero hours with a very flexible schedule. If possible, plenty of notice prior to booking would be fab. Give me a message and we can work out dates that accommodate both of us. I would prefer coming to you when possible. I am willing to travel to you. Your dog will be my only focus and priority and I am more than happy to schedule prior visits for your furry friend to get familiar with me. Depending on your dogs needs I can provide walks, or if not we can stay in the garden or even snuggle up on the couch together.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Inverclyde on Rover is £33.35 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Post & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Rubbish & recycling: Taking bins out on scheduled rubbish collection days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best time to agree on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a 'home cheat sheet' that includes your preferred Inverclyde walking routes, the location of your favourite pet shop, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
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.
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 .
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Inverclyde choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a key safe or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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 pet to the closest vet. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
