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 comfortable with dogs, for I had a Staffie and can provide compassionate, reliable, and attentive care tailored to your pet’s specific needs with lovely walks surrounded my place. Your pet will be well looked after and loved. I am a stay at home person and do things from home apart from on a Thursday I am out 10am-2pm, and on a Friday night I work 6pm-10pm. 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.
About: I have been caring for dogs and other pets for many years. From energetic puppies to more laid back golden oldies, I have experience with a wide range of breeds and personalities. In addition to looking after dogs, cats and other animals, I’ve also had the pleasure of caring for people's homes while they’re away, ensuring everything is kept secure. I have a 1 year-old Schnoodle puppy who loves playing and socialising. If you have a puppy of a similar age and are looking for some fun puppy playdates, feel free to get in touch! If you’re looking for a reliable pet sitter who will treat your pets like family, I’d love to hear from you! I work remotely and flexibly from home so I am able to provide plenty of attention, toilet breaks and play time. I like to set up activities for dogs in my care so that they get as much stimulation as they need, eg treat mats, frozen bowls. Ernie and I go out walking in the morning, lunchtime and evening, incorporating a mixture of exercise - including woodland walks, fetch and recall on the longline and visits to secure off-lead dog fields. Your dog is welcome to join us! We usually go out for a short walk before bed so the dogs can perform their night time ablutions. Pets are welcome to sit on the furniture or rest in their beds and blankets. I am able to care for small to medium dogs in my home. I will often have my puppy with me, so we have plenty of scheduled breaks for playing, napping and walkies throughout the day. When caring for pets at home, I am close to the beach for walks and sniff walks around the park. I am also able to offer home visits, if that is more appropriate for your needs.
About: Although I don’t have little formal experience, I truly love dogs and am excited to start caring for them! I’m responsible, reliable, and love learning what makes each dog happy. Whether it’s long walks, playtime, or quiet company, I’ll follow your instructions closely and make sure your pup feels safe and loved every step of the way. I work full-time but have a flexible schedule and can work from home, which allows me to give plenty of attention to your pup throughout the day. I can easily adjust my breaks for walks, playtime, or check-ins. Whether it’s weekdays or weekends, I’ll make sure your dog gets the care, love, and activity they need while you’re away. I prioritize the safety and comfort of every pet in my care. I ensure their environment is secure, follow all medical and routine instructions from the owner, and provide regular updates. I maintain a clean, engaging space for pets to feel happy and safe, and I treat each animal with respect and gentleness to build trust and a positive experience.

About: I grew up around dogs all my life. I have lived with and cared for all different breeds, sizes and ages and have loved every minute. I currently have a 5 year old boxer named Jaffar, who is the perfect measure of a gentle giant and a friendly playmate. Jaffar is great around all dogs, he has shared his home with many and we have never had an issue. Jaffar will welcome any canine companions in to share his toys, sofa and bed (he hasn’t figured out the bed is to sleep in but he does use it as a pillow). While your pet is having its sleep over it will have full access to all rooms and furniture in the house as well as the back garden. If you have certain requirements for your pup during their or stay then I will actively seek to meet these to make this a home away from home. I can fit pet care in to my routine with as little or as much notice as possible. I have a flexible schedule at work and tend to put my dog first and fit my work around that. I can be flexible on taking care of someone’s pet either at my home or theirs. I would just like their pet to feel as at home as possible. I have a back garden with astroturf so this can be accessed in all weathers and various walking routes on my doorstep.

About: Over the years I have had 6 cats, 2 dogs, hamsters, parrots and fish so I have always had a love for animals! I have plenty of experience in caring for them and know what they need. I have had pets who have had ongoing medical needs including regular medicine. I’m the go-to contact for friends and family when they need someone to pet-sit! My partner, Huzaifah, will be helping take care of your pet. He’s an animal lover and has looked after cats, dogs, ferrets, fish, and iguana and a tortoise.

We currently have 2 gerbils in a cage in our spacious upper cottage flat with an unfenced garden. The gerbils are elevated so there shouldn’t be any issues, they love the company of other animals!
About: My whole life, I've always owned animals of all sorts—big and small. My family has a farm, so I'm accustomed to that lifestyle, not afraid to get dirty, caring for chickens, cows, and sheep. I’m active and love to go for long walks. I’ve boarded animals, done rescue work and rehabilitated kittens and a little experience with lambs. Don’t hesitate to ask if you have any questions or concerns. I am currently unemployed with an open schedule. I have a vehicle large enough to transport extra large or multiple dogs. Open to long extended walks or travel for pick up. I have no animals on my property. I live in a remote area away from traffic and other houses. I’m very flexible and accommodating to a human’s needs, rules, schedules for their fur baby.
“Dylan took great care of my very high energy Cocker Spaniel puppy. It was my first time using the app so I was a little anxious about the whole thing but he was super patient, friendly and accommodating of meeting us beforehand! It's clear that he loves dogs 🐶 Will definitely be booking him again - I'm sure my pup will be delighted! Thanks Dylan ☺️”
About: (Sept 2025 Update** I now study Counselling in Paisley each Monday 9-4pm, Wed+Thu 9-12**) Please keep this in mind when booking, as I'll need to leave your babies at home for those hours whilst I go to class. I have my own dog Levi and an older cat called MaMa and this means I can't board any pets as my pets get jealous and act out. I have no problem watching your pet at your home though and staying at your home if it's needed. I've got experience with both cats and dogs and seem to always get on with them. I have a special connection with animals. I have a recent Disclosure from Feb 2024 available. ✨✨ I would prefer cash in hand. This way will be cheaper. My prices are upped on here due to the percent Rover take off my payments✨✨✨ I'm available on request. However I do not board animals in my home due to my dog being jealous of both cats and dogs that get my attention. I currently have a dog that's 8 years old and a cat that's over 10 years old. I am a trust worthy individual that just loves being around animals. I always have, since I was a kid.
About: I’ve always looked after dog and enjoyed it. As I work shifts I can’t get my own so I want to look after other people’s. I work shifts with the Nhs and will only look after dogs when I am off on a/l or have a good run of days off will never watch a dog if I’m working. Just myself and son in house he’s 16. I have a back garden with a fence and gate. Will always supervise pets when outside. Will care for dog to the standard of owner and will treat them well.
“Michael visited our dogs twice as we would be out all day. He fed walked and played with them during his visits. He kept us up yo date with text and photos. We would not hesitate to recommend Michael to anyone looking for the services he provides.”
About: I have experience caring for pets of all sizes – from dogs and cats to guinea pigs! I’ve looked after both energetic puppies and senior dogs, tailoring their care to their individual needs. I'm confident with feeding routines, walks, playtime, and administering basic medications. Your pet will be in safe, loving hands. I currently don't work full-time with flexibility to work from home, and I’m mostly available on weekdays and weekends for daytime care or overnight stays. I live in a secure, pet-friendly flat with a large, fenced garden – perfect for safe outdoor time. I'm also just a 3-minute walk from a lovely big park for walks and play. I'm happy to crate your dog if needed and always make sure they feel comfortable and cared for.
“Janine was lovely and would highly recommend. You can tell she has years of caring for dogs in lots of different capacity from walking, training and home stays. We're going to book her again very soon. Thanks so much Janine.”
About: Have had a number of dogs over the years between us. All of which have had happy and fulfilling lives. Our wee dog Alfie was diabetic, blind, and had a number of other health issues which we became very skilled at dealing with. He was still the happiest dog you'd ever meet (and the greediest). I am registered disabled so I will be home all day every day so your pets will have round the clock care and playtime. My daughter and son in law are also able to help me with walking if I am sore on a particular day, so they will be walked as much as they want. I have a fenced garden and live on a very quiet, safe street with lots of other dogs in the area. I have no other pets so there will be no risk of any clashing.

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.

Look for sitters who highlight multi-pet expertise or check for verified reviews from other Inverclyde pet parents with similar pet households.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
