About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life. I work part time and I'm hoping to get to walk or look after some pups on my days off. At the minute I offer dog walks and drop in visits. I have had and cared for a variety of different dog breeds and temperaments over the years and have loved every minute. No pup is too big, small, nervous or bouncy. Walks with your dog can be tailored to fit, whether that’s at the beach, park, on or off the leash. I’ve had dogs my whole life and have my own two dogs, one being a nervous dachshund. So I’m experienced with nervous/anxious dogs that just need a bit more time and patience. Above all, I’ll make sure that we always have fun together. I’m more than happy to send lots of photo updates so you know your dogs in good hands. I’m currently working part time so I’ll have plenty of days available to be able to care for your pets. My schedule will be updated weekly with my availability. I currently have two dogs of my own and completely understand how hard it can be to trust other people with your pets. I have experience with a variety of different breeds and temperaments.

About: I have many years experience with pet care, including working in a Veterinary Practice, dog walking, check in’s and even overnight stays! Everyone who had met me, have said they fully trust me with their pet and couldn’t picture anyone else more suited to take care of them and to rely on. I currently own an almost 2 year old Collie named Clover who is my whole world :) I currently work at a small business Animal shop a couple of days a week. I am open for bookings on Tuesday, Wednesday Thursday, Saturday and Sunday's, offering single and group walks. In the near future I am planning on making dog walking my full time job. I have always had a family dog growing up, and I currently own a Broderick Collie with my fiancé. So I have tons of experience caring for dogs and love being around them! By working in a Veterinary Practice, I have been trained in handling, health and safety and taking care of the pets we had in care. Over the years I have had friends and family reach out to myself to look after their pets including dogs, cats, fish and chickens. At home I also own guinea pigs and rabbits, so I have had a wide variety of animal care and experience.

About: Although I’m only 20 I’ve had dogs/cats my whole life and have had the responsibility to care for them, and also have had the responsibility to look after family and neighbours pets. I have experience with senior dogs, hyperactive dogs and with puppies. I also have an up to date Disclosure Scotland Certificate. I am currently in a part time job (minimum 3 days a week) so will have plenty of time to look after your pups! My part time job hasn’t got set days, so there’s a chance I won’t have the same days off every week. I have my own pup so he could come along my walks and dog drop ins (if that’s acceptable with you). I’ll make sure you furry loved one has fresh water and everything else they require after their walk/drop in as I leave.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and have always been comfortable caring for them, walking them, and understanding their different personalities and needs. I’m patient, reliable, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I understand how important it is for owners to feel their pets are safe, happy, and well looked after, and I always aim to provide calm, caring, and trustworthy support. I’m happy to follow feeding routines, provide regular walks, playtime, and give pets plenty of attention and care. I’m especially good with friendly family dogs and making pets feel comfortable and relaxed around me. I work Monday to Thursday, so I am available for pet care on Fridays, weekends, and some evenings depending on the time. I can also be flexible with advance notice. I’m happy to help with dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet care during these times, and I will always make sure I plan my schedule properly so I can give pets full attention and reliable care. When caring for pets in an owner’s home, I make sure to follow their usual routine as closely as possible so the pet feels comfortable and secure. I pay attention to feeding times, fresh water, walks, and any specific instructions given. I take a calm and patient approach with animals and always treat them with care and respect. I understand that every pet has their own personality, so I take time to make sure they feel safe and relaxed around me. I am based in North Ayrshire and am reliable, tidy, and respectful when visiting someone’s home. I always aim to provide trustworthy and consistent care so owners feel confident their pets are in good hands.

About: Ever since I was young I’ve loved looking after animals. I’ve had many over the years from dogs, cats, hamsters, fish and rabbits! I currently have a 2 year old working cocker spaniel. I love caring for my cocker spaniel and making sure all her needs are met. She’s a very active dog and is currently in agility training. I am very passionate about providing the correct care for each individual animal. I have had experience over the years of looking after many dog breeds including spaniels, labradors, German shepherds and many more! I have also had experience looking after cats and spending lots of time visiting them in their homes. I currently work part time through the week and would be available week days after 3pm ! This gives me lots of time in the afternoons to make sure your pets get the care they deserve! I have a secure fenced garden where it is safe for the dogs to run free. When on walks dogs will always be on leads and I have a tracker I can use for your dog to ensure safety at all times.

About: Since I was 12, dogs have been my constant companions. Currently, Winston, an adorable French Bulldog, keeps me busy and provides plenty of laughs daily. He is my best friend. I'm all about giving pups the love and care they deserve—after all, it's the best way to spend the day! I work from home and only leave the house for an hour and a half to go to the gym - otherwise I am always available to look after the dogs and take them for a walk whenever is required. I have a fenced garden but also pay close attention if the dogs are playing safely, keeping an eye on whether they are ok. I do work from home so have flexibility to always take breaks when needed and check up on them.

Rebecca was amazing with my wee kitten Ozzy! Her communication was great with me before, during and after the visit and really put me at ease. She was fantastic with Ozzy, gave me updates and sent pictures and videos. She made sure he was fed, played with him and made sure he was safe before I left following any instructions I had left. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Rebecca again if I need someone to check on Ozzy and I would highly recommend her services 💖

About: As a 4th-year veterinary medicine student at the University of Glasgow, caring for animals isn’t just what I do—it’s who I am. I’ve managed a cattery, looked after my own beloved dogs and cats, and regularly cared for pets belonging to friends and family. Over the past four years, I’ve gained hands-on experience in various veterinary practices, deepening both my clinical skills and my understanding of what pets truly need to feel safe, loved, and comfortable. Whether it's cuddles, playtime, or medication support, I treat every pet like my own—with patience, compassion, and genuine care. I am currently awaiting my fourth-year exam results, which I expect to receive by the end of June. Please feel free to get in touch regarding availability from September onwards. At present, I am unable to confirm dates definitively, but I will be happy to provide an update once my results are released. 🐾💜 I am currently transitioning into my final year at vet school which is claiming to be very full on leaving little free time however I update my calendar regularly so it’s usually accurate. With this being said I always try my best to fit in walks and drop ins so please do reach out and we can try sort something! I provide attentive, loving care tailored to each pet's needs. This includes feeding, walks, playtime, and keeping to their routine to ensure they feel safe and comfortable.

About: I am a 30 year old woman with a 4 year old Siberian husky and a 2 year old tabby cat. I am an animal lover and like being outside come rain or shine so be assured your pets will have the best walks or cuddles asked for. I have been brought up around animals my entire life with both sisters having 2 dogs each and my parents having a family dog whilst growing up. I do work full time as a teacher but I have various holidays throughout the year where I am able to walk or have your animal overnight if you are away. Walking your dog or cuddling your cat is at the highest priority. I am very trust worthy when entering your home. I will send details of my visit and pictures of your pet being looked after and attended to.

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.

We absolutely love Chloe! Our cats have adapted so well to her care, especially Shadow, who normally hides from everyone but happily comes out for Chloe. She truly goes above and beyond, often helping with things around the house that we never even ask her to do. We trust her completely with our home and our babies, and it’s such a relief knowing they’re in such caring hands. We couldn’t recommend Chloe more highly!

Emma was amazing with our cat Bob! She was super reliable, kind, and always kept us updated with messages and photos, which really put our minds at ease. Bob can be a bit cheeky at times, but Emma was so patient and understanding with him, it really meant a lot. We came home to a happy, well-looked-after cat. Would definitely book with her again. Thanks so much, Emma!

The search results will populate sitters whose calendars match your needs. You can also search for sitters by location, whether that’s a sitter near your office for day care drop-off or a sitter close to your home.

Tip: Doggy day care is another option for pet supervision while you're at work. Visit our doggy day care page for more information.

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.

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.

Yes, absolutely! Many sitters on Rover are experienced in caring for multiple pets simultaneously, whether you have a pack of dogs, a clowder of cats, or a mix of both.

Look for sitters who highlight multi-pet expertise or check for verified reviews from other North Ayrshire 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. 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 North Ayrshire 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.
