“Thank you very much. Absolutely no problems, very communicative and mind at ease as we knew the cats were with someone who genuinely cares. See you next time!”


“Zoe deserves the label Star Sitter. If I could give her move stars I would! The level of care and attention she gave my cats for the two weeks she cared for them was next level. She treated my girls like they were her own fur babies. Her communication is clear and detailed and she got so many stunning photos of my girls. Would 1000% recommend Zoe and I personally will be using her again”


“First time using Rover and Anna was great. The cats warmed to her quickly and she kept us updated on a daily basis. Would book again!”


“Sarah was absolutely phenomenal! We booked her to take care of our cat while we were getting married and she put all of our worries at ease so we knew our boy was in excellent hands. I would definitely recommend booking Sarah to any and all!’”


“Louisa was amazing in looking after our cats when we were on holiday. Daily updates and photos, also took in our post for us which was much appreciated!”

We are the family who always volunteer to dog sit while family and friends are on holiday and would love to help other families as well! I work part time and am home afternoons Monday- Wednesday and Thursday mornings. As a family we spend our weekends exploring with our own dog who loves big walks and discovering new places both locally and driving around Scotland. I have a large fenced garden with plenty great walking areas locally, your dog would be free to roam the house and make themself at home.

About: I Have taken care of animals my whole life since I was a little boy. Looking after family pets such as Cats’s - Lizards - Hamsters and Dog’s - I have looked after kittens as my family cat has had 3 litters and have experience with small dogs. My Job allows me to be flexible with working from anywhere so this would be perfect to fit in with my other job. I am available most days. I make sure to feed them when needed - Make sure to give them lots of love and attention - Play with them - Also let them out for the toilet / take on walks and change litter trays when needed.

About: I’ve had continuous interaction and experience with dogs for 18 years. We had a family dog for 15 years who was my best friend, and now my sister has two beautiful Cavapoo’s that I look after fairly regularly. I always offer to friends and family to dog sit and have been taken up on the offer a few times which has been lovely having a dog in our flat. I would love a dog of my own but sadly it is not suitable due to my current working hours. Nothing brings me joy as much as seeing or spending time with dogs. I promise to treat them with the same love and attention you would yourself. I work Monday-Friday but I am available Thursdays after 1.30pm for drop in visits and dog walks. I am available Fridays after 5.30pm and overnight boarding. I am free all day and overnight boarding for a Saturday. Sunday I am free all day. I also have a car so I am available for pickup and drop off services too. I have a private garden and am walking distance from great walks. I am fairly fit and like to go walks/runs daily so would be great to get out with a dog. I have no issue with pets on furniture or beds, in fact I encourage it as I love cuddles. I have no other pets at home and have plenty space to play. If puppy sitting - I have flooring throughout so any accidents or spills are not a problem. Plenty room for a crate if you would prefer crate training. I chose Rover as with the Rover Guarantee I feel it gives you and I both peace of mind for secure, trustworthy bookings and reassurance for any issues if they were to occur.

Whatever age your loved one is, I have a wealth of experience, patience and love and would be delighted to take care of your furry family. I am currenty unemployed while I work towards my rescue sanctuary, so I can be pretty flexible.
