“Skye had another marvellous day with Ching. What I truly appreciate is that Ching gives the doggies that she cares for her full attention, she's with them constantly interacting with them. Skye's confidence with other dogs has sky rocketed in Ching's care, without a doubt she is amazing.”
“David was great with my dog. Has a great set up for dogs to roam in garden and explore. My dog is a bit timid but didn’t take long for her to warm up to David and his wee dog and came home happy and relaxed. Will be back!”

About: Animal LOVER. Had all kinds of animals growing up. From rabbits, horses, dogs. Currently have a cat (Marley) loves animals also. Taught my own cat to gives paws for treats🤠 I currently own my own business and have my cat Marley. Taught him how to give paws like a dog. Iconic I know. Marley likes other animals :) I have my own business so work from home a lot of the time. Fenced in back garden and close to the beach for walks.
About: I have taken care of a wide range of breeds from pomeranians (my own) to collies, to vislas, to crossbreeds. My home has a gated garden therefore freedom to roam outside securely! I own my own dog Winston and he gets three walks a day. One in the morning, one in the afternoon and one in the evening. I work from home some days during the week and these days I have the back door open for the dog to roam in and out the house as he pleases. I have eyes on him at all times as my dining table is located at the back door which is beneficial. I have one friendly dog who will keep your dog company and a fenced garden. My neighbours are an elderly couple who give my dog one treat every day through the fence and they love it when I take my other neighbours dogs for the day, the more the merrier. My area has lots of nice woodland walks near by and I have a car to travel to spots in the area - dogs will ALWAYS be kept safely on the lead. Open to altering my day to fit around the specific needs of your dog.

About: With over 30 years of hands-on pet care experience, I provide a safe, loving, and attentive environment for animals of all kinds. My background includes caring for a wide range of pets—from dogs and cats to parrots and geckos—as well as experience rooted in a family farming environment, which has deepened my understanding of animal behavior and welfare. I am confident handling large dog breeds such as Great Danes, Rottweilers, and Bullmastiffs, and I ensure every pet in my care receives not only proper supervision but also plenty of affection, attention, and comfort. I also have extensive experience with cats of all breeds and temperaments, including Sphynx, Ragdolls, and Maine Coons. Each cat is treated with patience, kindness, and respect for their unique personality. Your pet’s wellbeing is my top priority, and you can trust they will be cared for as if they were my own. I’m part time working mum and fit my visits / walks in around the school run, I’m happy to be flexible with dates and times with notice. My home has a large fenced garden, and live close to parks and countryside walks, I will treat your home with respect and your pets like my own, I can offer solo walks or group walks and I’m happy to care for multiple pets.
About: Bespoke 1 to 1 dog boarding by the Sea. A calm, loving home-from-home by the coast, offering individual attention, relaxed routines and lovely seaside walks. No busy kennels or lots of unfamiliar dogs. I get to know the owner and dog before boarding so all your dogs needs are catered for. Dogs are part of the family while staying and allowed to wander, relax on the sofa and sleep in the bedroom. So if your dog is nervous, thrives in a quieter environment away from stress and triggers, requires medication or a special diet they will get all of that in my home. I’ve had my own dogs for 35 yrs and recently lost my boy. I struggled to find anywhere for him that I was happy with as he had his own special needs even since a puppy. I don’t want another dog full time now as I’m 60 and both my kids live abroad so I want the freedom now to travel but while In Scotland can give a lot of love to your dog. I decided there was a gap in the market that maybe I should fill. Kennels or home boarding alongside multiple dogs seems to be all that’s on offer. If your pooch is pampered then let me pamper them for you. I live a 2 min walk to the beach so they will love their holiday as much as you will knowing you can relax and they are happy here. If you’d like to chat more to see if we are the right fit pls message me. I currently work from Home so am available all day. I have several days off per week also so plenty time to spend cuddling your fur baby. I offer 2 walks per day and lots of cuddles and play time. I offer a 121 bespoke service to each owner so that I can tailor my service to your dogs needs. I have no other pets and only take 1 dog at a time so you can relax knowing your pet is getting all of my attention. I do not let dogs off lead under my supervision unless their recall is excellent and I’m confident in their surroundings.
About: I've had both cats and dogs all throughout my life and I have plenty of experience looking after animals. I regularly look after my family and friends pets and I love having a furry companion by my side. I live in a house with a large garden with lots of room to play and all animals are welcome on our sofas and bed if that's where they are most comfortable. Also, if you'd rather we kept them off furniture to keep consistent with training at home then I'm more than happy to follow your rules. I work from home full time so I have plenty of availability and I'll be around to keep your dog company, with lots of stimulation and walks. I'm comfortable with large dogs and will do my very best to accommodate any special requests or concerns you might have. Excited to meet your furry best friend! 🐈🐶 I work from home full-time self employed so I'd love a furry companion or two to keep me company! I'm available for day sits, nights & holidays and I'm able to accommodate for as many walks needed. I'd love to keep you updated regularly about how your pet is doing with pictures and texts ☺️ happy to listen to any requests or concerns you have.
“Maddy provided an excellent service, she was extremely helpful arranging pickup and drop off of our dog Hamish and my sister's dog allowing us all to enjoy a full day at a family wedding. I would highly recommend Maddy to anyone looking for someone to care for their dog.”
“Louise took such good care of our Vizsla Whisky, who really loved hanging out with Arlo! He was happy and relaxed to stay with Louise for the day, in fact after two minutes he looked like he’d moved in. Louise obviously loves dogs and is ann experienced owner and dog sitter and this showed in her care of Whisky! Thankyou Louise, we hope to see you again.”
“Abi is so lovely! Scout is blind in one eye, so takes a little more care and patience to look after, Abi was amazing start to finish.. fantastic communication, really welcoming and caring of Scout’s needs. He had a fantastic day with her and I’d highly recommend her to anyone.”
About: I work for myself so am based at home during the week. I definitely need the walk/company as much as the animals! I have worked in multiple animal/dog/cat sanctuaries taking care of dogs ranging from puppies to old souls. I’ve always had dogs in the house and dog sitting for friends whenever they need me. I work for myself from home Mon - Fri so I need the company/walks just as mischievous as the animals! I set my own work hours so can be flexible to suit what ever needs to happen. I live alone in a spacious flat, we do have stairs to access the house so let me know if your dog is a little achey and needs assistance with stairs. How I look after pet in your home would be a discussion we would have prior so you felt comfortable
About: I have had my own dogs in the past. Have experience with both small and large dogs. Also have experience raw feeding. I work from home so your pet would have me around all the time while in my care I work full time 9-5 but work from home with regular breaks to let pets out regularly if needed. Weekends are normally rather chilled. I have a very large enclosed back garden. Also have two doors (one always closed all times) so no risk of your pet escaping. I have no pets so your pet will have my full attention when in my care. I do have 12 year old child so all pets must be Oka with children
“Both dogs had a lovely time with Koko, Yoyo and the kids. One almost didn’t want to come home and both were sleeping on the drive back home. Kept us up to date with all comings and goings and took great care of them Will definitely be coming back!”

Thank you Ching for looking after Bobby! This was our first time leaving Bobby with a new person, so was a bit anxious. Ching was very reassuring and sent photos and updates throughout the stay. Picked up a happy and chilled dog 🐶 Great service from Ching from start to end of visit 😊
Ching and her husband took wonderful care of my dog Milo today. They are both incredibly friendly, kind, and clearly love dogs. Milo was well looked after and very happy, which gave me real peace of mind. I wouldn’t hesitate to book them again and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter

There are 712 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in North Ayrshire. About 89% of North Ayrshire sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you are planning ahead for public holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day cover for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later collection to match your North Ayrshire commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust collection and drop-off times when needed.
Your dog’s first day care experience is a big milestone! To help your pup settle in comfortably, we recommend:
- Food and treats portioned for the day, with feeding instructions
- Your dog's lead and collar (ensure tags are up-to-date)
- Any seasonal gear, such as paw-safe wax for winter or a cooling vest for the summer
- Medication, if applicable, with clear dosage notes
- Any special care instructions or training tips to help your sitter provide the most personalised care possible
Tip: Upload this information directly through the Rover app before drop-off. The more context you provide, the better your sitter can tailor the day to your dog.
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.
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.
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 .
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.
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.
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 .
