“Thank you, Rhona, for taking such good care of Tess. You are so thoughtful in finding interesting things to do with her. I know she appreciates the love, attention and fun times you arrange for her. You left the house just as you found it.”

“I had a fantastic experience with our pet sitter, Sarah, who looked after our dog Bandit and cat Skip while we were away. Communication was excellent throughout, I received regular updates, which gave me real peace of mind. It was clear that both animals were well cared for and comfortable, and I came home to two very happy pets. I’d highly recommend Sarah to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.”
About: I am a dedicated dog owner and currently have a 7-month-old high-energy puppy, giving me hands-on experience with training, exercise, socialisation and routine care. I have also cared for older dogs and rescue dogs with varying needs and temperaments. In addition, I volunteered with Guide Dogs, providing care and support for dogs in training. I am confident handling energetic young dogs as well as those requiring extra patience and attention, and I always strive to provide a safe, loving and enriching environment. I currently work from home Monday to Friday and already have time scheduled to walk my own dog which can easily be flexed to make room for your needs. I have a fenced garden and a friendly dog of my own to keep your fur baby company and make sure they get the stimulation and exercise they need. With access to lots of safe walking routes near my own home and a car to collect and return your dog is needed.
About: Hello! My name is Kathryn and I live in Dunfermline with my husband, senior cat and dog. I grew up always having animals in the home whether that was dogs or cats or fish! From an early age I started walking neighbours dogs with my own and watching them on weekends. As I got older I began doing long house sits for family friends and neighbours pets. 5 years ago we rescued our senior cat Louie. He has been such a joy to have in the home and being able to give him a cozy new life has been so rewarding. Due to him being FIV positive he is susceptible to illness so I have experience delivering medications and providing extra care. Last May we brought home our Boxer Fionn. He is a crazy boy who keeps us active and it has been such a joy to train him and watch him grow. I work from home a couple a days a week and am very flexible on evenings and weekends. I would be able to help out as much as I could. If your dog is needing some walking or some company I would love to help and if okay could bring my dog along for a run around. I would love for him to meet some other dogs and get used to walking with dogs around (if you’re comfortable with it). If it’s cats you’re needing looked after I would be more than happy to spend quality time with them, playing with toys, cuddling on the sofa or reading my book with them! I have a fenced in back garden that the dogs can play in. If watching in your home I would be sure to keep an eye on them and follow all instructions provided. I would make sure they are safe, fed, happy and well looked after.
About: I was raised in a house full of different animals and for the last 20 years I have had dogs, cats, rabbits, gecko & horse. I have experience in looking after small to extra large dogs. I was a fosterer with Thistle Boxer Rescue for 3 years and became a trustee (lead rehomer) matching rescues with their forever family. This was the most rewarding experience ever! I have experience in challenging behaviours and believe in reward based training. My only ask is that any behavioural issues are disclosed before pick up/drop off such as wanting to eat my cat (1 eyed feline who thinks she runs the house) this decreases any risks and helps me to understand the dog better and provide better care. I also like to borrow my friends and family’s dogs just because I like the furry hugs. I like to make sure that all dogs feel loved. I have a variety of walking areas local to me and will work around the needs of the dogs. I am currently not working so will be able to fully focus on any dog that is in my care. Going for walks, playing with toys and snuggling on the couch if that’s what they want. I look after all animals in my care as my own, with love and with lots of fun. I treat others home and property with care and respect.
About: I've always had pets and have always loved animals. I have had two dogs, two cats, hamsters and rabbits and have also looked after a pigeon at one point. You will never catch me walking past a snail on the path. I have been looking after 2 gorgeous cats for some neighbours for the past couple of years and they have always been happy with the result. That being two happy and healthy kitties. I have completed doggy First aid training and am insured and police checked for piece of mind. I am currently doing this as my full time job. I am fortunate enough that I am currently in the position to do this full time so I will be available most days. I am very reliable and trustworthy and will keep your pet happy and safe when I am staying with them. I will make sure to follow any instructions thay are provided for them by the owner.
“Absolutely brilliant experience! Luna was looked after for 3 days and I couldn’t have been happier with the care she received. I got regular updates and photos, which gave me great peace of mind knowing she was happy and well looked after. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Eva again and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their dog. Thank you so much! 🐾❤️”
“Naomi looked after our dogs and house so well. She came before the sit to do a meet and greet, and the dogs were very comfortable around her. Naomi followed their routine and provided enrichment for them, she sent daily updates and photos. The dogs were calm and relaxed when we arrived home, always a good sign! And the house was spotless - we can highly recommend Naomi and will be booking her again before long!”
About: Hi! I’m Anastasiia, and animals have always been a very special part of my life. I grew up with my beloved dog, Timmy, who was part of our family for 14 wonderful years. Caring for him taught me patience, responsibility and how important it is for every pet to feel safe, loved and understood. I truly love animals and enjoy spending time with them. Since losing Timmy two years ago, I’ve really missed having a furry companion around, which inspired me to join Rover and care for other people’s wonderful pets. I’m currently completing my MSc dissertation, so I spend most of my time at home. This means your pet will receive plenty of attention, companionship, regular walks and lots of care throughout the day. I only host one family’s pet at a time to provide a calm, safe and loving environment. I’ll follow your pet’s usual routine and keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind.

About: Detached 4 bedroom new build house, in a quiet housing estate. No children. The garden is spacious and fenced. Outside the front of the house is a large open green space. At the rear of the house is a wildlife corridor (great for sniffs). The housing estate is surrounded by Dunnikier Woods and close to Dunnikier Park. I adore dogs. They are my passion in life and I feel it is a privilege to look after them and spend time with them. I work 9:30 - 4:30 Monday - Friday as a primary school teacher in Kirkcaldy. I am flexible to work with and suit the needs of clients. I have a large four bedroom house with lots of space for pets. There are no children in the house, apart from the fur variety. I have two cats and a dog, who are all very friendly.
“Hannah was absolutely wonderful with my Goldendoodle puppy, Bunny. She immediately put me at ease, which made what could have been a stressful experience feel very relaxed and reassuring. Hannah clearly understands dogs and was incredibly patient, gentle, and attentive. Bunny was very happy, well cared for, and I could tell she received plenty of affection and attention throughout the day. I really appreciated the updates and photos, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. Hannah also took the time to work with Bunny’s training and routine, which meant a lot to me. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Hannah again and would very happily recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, reliable, and genuinely caring sitter. Thank you again, Hannah 😊”
“Megan was brilliant while we were away. She stayed at our house for the week and took such lovely care of Frances—it was really clear how comfortable and happy she’d been when we got back. It made such a difference knowing everything was in good hands while we were gone. We’d happily have Megan back anytime and would definitely recommend her.”
“Sarah was great and so accommodating when she looked after my 2 husky's Demon and Keiko and my daughters spaniel Bella in our house whilst we were on holiday for 2 weeks. My 2 have never been left and I was a bit apprehensive leaving them as they are a bit demanding but I had nothing at all to worry about, the puppies loved her and everything was great on our return. She kept in touch with us sending pics and texts on a daily basis, really put my mind at ease. Can't say enough good things about Sarah. Would definitely recommend and will be having her back very soon. Thanks Sarah for everything xx”

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 Kinross walking routes, the location of your favourite pet shop, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
House sitting is priced per night and generally includes an overnight stay. In the city of Kinross, the price of house sitting can vary between £24 and £58 per night.
Just make sure you and your sitter agree on the actual hours they'll stay in your home before you accept the booking. Each sitter has their own routine, and some might suit your schedule better than others. Keep your messages on the Rover app for future reference.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a 'home base' service. Most sitters in Kinross maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for 'WFH' sitters: Many sitters mention 'Work from Home' on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical 'away' windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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.
