About: I’ve been taking care of dogs, cats and other pets 10+ years. I worked at a doggy day care centre in 2023 for just under a year. This centre was ran by two sisters who were trained in animal care and behavioural management. I gained valuable experience and knowledge about difference breeds of dogs, conditions and behaviour whilst I was there. I am also in my final year of my veterinary bioscience degree. Throughout the course we have had many modules around animal care and management. We have also had practical, hands on experience with the care of cats, dogs, farm animals and small animals. I’m currently working part-time as a support worker for vulnerable adults with disabilities. I am 9am-4pm, Monday-Wednesday week 1. 9am-4pm, Monday-Tuesday week 2. I have availability to pop in for visits whenever as I can visit before or after work. Same goes for walks. Please don’t hesitate to send me a big long list of needs/requirements for your pet. Also quirks and normal behaviour for your pet too. Would much rather have too much information than not enough. When someone is caring for my cat I print out and email them a word doc. I will not judge you for this, infact it is encouraged 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻 I have an SUV car which I can transport dogs in no bother. It’s leather seats so can just be wiped. I have dog seatbelts from looking after my friends dogs. I am happy to crate pets if instructed too. I am comfortable with most types of behaviour management
“Couldn’t be happier with Austin & Lenny, they were very respectful of our home and we came back to a very happy dog. I received many updates about Diego including photos and I could see he was very comfortable and happy with them. I would definitely recommend Austin & Lenny for anyone wanting peace of mind knowing their dog is in good hands and being well taken care of - Thanks again :)”
About: **DISCOUNT CODE - LUCYK10726** Currently I live with two mini dachshunds which belong to my flatmate, one is 4 years old and the other is 1 year old. I help feed, walk, and play with the dogs. I have also sat for my aunt's young dog Lottie, and my friend's two cats and their newborn kittens. I have also cared for a senior dog, Basil. At 15 years old he needed to be fed, walked, medicated, bathed, and was given plenty of cuddles and comfort. If you have smaller pets such as hamsters, fish, etc. I can drop in to feed them. I have a few years experience taking care of my own guinea pigs. I am available weekdays from 5pm onwards to walk dogs or pop in quickly to feed any pets. Friday nights may be more flexible, contact me to discuss pet sitting. On weekends, I'm available all day Saturday and Sunday for any pet sitting or dog walking needs! :) I am happy to learn about the safety rules put in place for each individual home and/or as is required for each and every pet.
“Colette was a perfect sitter for our puppy while we were out for an evening! It was his first time being away from us so we were a bit nervous to leave him but Colette reassured us he would be fine. She was very kind and understanding of him being a little fussy while we left, and kept us updated while we were away which help us to not worry so much!”
About: I am well experienced in dog sitting, boarding, drop ins, and walking, having done this type of work since a young age, but more consistently in the last four years. Ive travelled all over the world dog sitting in homes from London to South Carolina USA (which is the gorgeous sunny location you see in my header photo ☀️) I also have extensive experience with rescue dogs who suffer with behavioural issues like resource guarding, aggression and reactivity. I have been on the receiving end of that “I just need a break” feeling and would love to use my skills and knowledge to help other dog owners who perhaps are in a similar situation. Having so much experience with high prey drive dogs in the past I am also confident fitting muzzles, or continuing any ongoing muzzle training where required with a positive reinforcement approach. If your dog is pretty chill, lazy, placid or easy going- great! I’m open to help care for any dog regardless of their temperament, energy levels, medication requirements, etc. I am very big on dog training, so more than happy to incorporate what I know into my appointments, and/or continue with any training owners currently have, for example, loose leash walking, cooperative care, impulse control, obedience and recall. Dogs love predictability & structure and this is very important for their nervous systems. I’m happy to help integrate with your dog’s routine where possible. I’m also a professional digital content creator, so you can expect lots of gorgeous photos of your perfect pups while they’re in my care too! Boarding in my home: I have a fenced, fully secure back garden that any dog in my care will have access to. The kitchen looks out on to the garden, so I can keep a close eye on your fur baby at all times. If a dog is in my care they will never just be left alone to find their own fun- always in my line of sight and properly watched after. I also have a crate for anyone who would prefer their dogs to maintain their crate training routine. I do also often have it set up as a safe space with the door left open for any dogs that may feel overwhelmed by a big new space. For dogs who are already crate trained we know this tool can be especially helpful for ones who have a tendency to be destructive when left unattended, which can pose potential safety concerns, so it will always be used under your instruction only. I have a comprehensive understanding of dog body language, able to confidently tell if they are communicating signals of happiness, stress, excitement and warnings. I also have a strict rule of no on leash greetings when out on dog walks. Walks are for walking, not play dates. Nose to nose dog greetings can become confrontational for our pups and escalate very quickly, especially when you are not familiar with the other dog, so rest assured I’ll always advocate for your for furry friend!
“Amy came and stayed to look after our high energy Labrador. She came to meet us at our house before and Obi naturally loved her. Amy sent pics of Obi and he was definitely tired the next day - Amy was a pleasure to deal with and would 100% rebook when needed again 💖”
About: With 15 years of my own dog (sadly passed 2 years ago) I now petsit a little adorable white dog and it just brings me so much joy and company in my house that I want to get more pet friends. Their is a dog park right across the road from my house where I usually throw a ball round with dogs twice a day, I also try to get out to Strathclyde park or around eurocentral for a long walk to tire us all out. I currently work part time so I have a flexible schedule that I can work around to suit the dogs needs and ensure they are getting exercised first thing in the morning, lunch time, afternoon and evening. I love to talk to dogs, sounds crazy but I live alone so company would be nice when im home. I keep treats in the house but treats and food are discussed with you to ensure I dont overstep.
“Diane was an absolute diamond with my boy. He immediately fell in love with her and I felt so happy leaving him in her care. She went above and beyond and I can’t thank her enough. Junior was very sad to see her leave. Junior and I highly recommend Diane and we look forward to using her again in the future. Thank you so much!!!”
About: Since I was little I’ve had a deep love for all animals. No matter the species or breed their presence makes me calm and fills me with joy. I’m a very caring individual with a deep love of nature. I have a beautiful cat who is 13 and I rescued Bertie two years ago. He is a German spitz mix. I trained Bertie myself and he comes on walks regularly with me. If your dog prefers a solo walk, that’s absolutely fine! From the tiniest pup to old English sheepdogs I’ve looked after them all. I am very understanding and like to get to know each animal I care for. All animals are different and have a routine that really helps with their anxiety, behaviour and well being. I take the time to understand their needs and make sure they are happy and content. To me, there is no greater joy than seeing an animal or child happy. Thank you for taking the time to Look at my page. I work from home however, I am looking to start a pet sitting/dog walking business in September 2026. I am available for toilet breaks Monday to Sunday and am happy to take a dog that is anxious to be left on its own into our home. I appreciate some dogs can get distressed when left and that is something I can assist with. If your dog is a male and has not been neutered, I’m afraid this would not be possible due to my male dog. I am available in the evenings for walking your friend and at the weekends I am available for day care, walks and home stays. All questions welcome. I find out firstly the owners needs and make sure I follow their guidance. This is very important to me as you are trusting me to support you in caring for your family member. During toilet break visits I always spend time with the cat or dog as I don’t like to leave them unless the owner wishes. This is just to bond with them and give them some company before leaving. When dogs are in my home or staying I make sure that the dogs routine is similar to their home comforts. My children are around dogs daily and adore them. They are gentle, caring and understand boundaries. I provide updates, pictures and video calls for anyone who would like to check in with their beloved pooch. My garden has seven foot high fencing which is secure. No puppers have escaped which is reassuring and allows me to let them explore the garden if they like being outside. Lastly and most importantly I will love your dog or cat like they are my own. Cuddles, snuggles, attention, walks, reassurance and the occasional sing song!
About: I have over 12 years of hands-on experience caring for my family's dog, who was a cherished member of our household. Throughout those years, I was involved in every aspect of their care, including feeding, walking, grooming, administering medication when needed, attending veterinary appointments, and providing daily companionship and attention. This long-term experience taught me patience, responsibility, and how to recognize and respond to a dog's physical and emotional needs. Our beloved dog fudge recently passed away, and while it has been a difficult loss, the experience has deepened my appreciation for the bond between people and animals and strengthened my passion for caring for dogs. I currently work from home, however, I am available to travel and work from anywhere that has stable Internet if needed. I am free weekends and can be free from 6pm weekdays. I will ensure all windows remain closed, verify that all areas are free from potential hazards, and confirm that your cat receives adequate playtime, is content, and is properly fed.
About: Hi! I’m Leigha, I’m a Psychology student and I’m here to make sure your fur babies feel safe, happy and loved while your away! Cats have always been apart of my life since a young age, so I understand just how important it is to have someone you trust to look after your pet! I’ve also had work experience for a cat sitting company previously so I have first-hand experience on just how unique each cat can really be. Feel free to ask any questions!
About: My pet services with years of experience cover puppy training and senior care. With specialized care I believe every animal is unique and deserve tailored attention I am dog walker and stay at home mum. So I schedule my own time during the days and love spending my time with animals. Safety, trust and environment are my priorities. I have big house with large fenced garden plus extra accommodation in spacious shed that feels like home and big field right on our doorstep for pet adventures.
About: Not had my own dogs before but have looked after friends previously. Happy to do multiple big walks a day as required and even runs if they like that! I currently work doing workshops in schools which is mostly term time and during the day. Some days there isn’t any work in a school and just working from home one or two days a week I have a large grassy garden for a pet to run around in which is secure. My fiancé and I also regularly take walks in the week and larger walks on the weekend and do love to hike so if your pet enjoys big long walks we can happily get them bagging some munros!
“Maia was absolutely wonderful, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. From the very first message, she was warm, responsive, and incredibly communicative, which immediately put me at ease. She arrived right on time and took such thoughtful, attentive care of Sunny. She made sure he had a lovely walk, plenty of affection, and lots of cuddles, all the things that matter so much to me when trusting someone with him. When we returned home, Sunny was completely relaxed and content, which spoke volumes. It was clear he had a genuinely lovely time and had been cared for with kindness and attention throughout. I am extremely selective about who looks after Sunny, he is not just my dog, he is my lifeline and deeply precious to me and Maia exceeded every expectation. If you are in the Glasgow area and looking for someone truly trustworthy, kind, and reliable, I would wholeheartedly recommend Maia. If she is available, don’t even think twice, just book her. She is absolutely fantastic.”
“Lucy is absolutely fantastic! Couldn’t have asked for my tribe to be looked after any better 🥰 plenty comms & snaps to show how much fun & love my girlies were having! Already booked Lucy for our next summer trip! Lucy came and stayed at our house for the pet sit duration, which made it all the easier for our gang. Thank you thank you! Xx”
About: I have spent years looking after friends and family members dogs and cats of all breed and sizes 🐶🐱 I have taken care of them overnight and during the day, and for up to a week at a time. I have also taken family’s dogs away on holiday. The Golden lab Bonnie and I have been on many adventure across Scotland and even Yorkshire! I have been in charge of; walking dogs, feeding cats and dogs, giving dogs their medication, playing with them, washing them after particularly muddy walks and giving them lots of attention and cuddles (my favourite part). I pride myself on always keeping people’s loved ones safe, comforted and happy, and will ensure the same for your lovely little ones! The experience I have had so far and the trust I have been given from others will be brought and earned with every visit to your pet :) I am currently in full-time work as a journalist. I am based in the city Centre, so can attend to your little ones during the day when I am in the office. I can also drive, so I am free to travel to your pets at the weekend or days off and take them to their favourite places! I will always ensure safety first. When walking your pets I will always keep them close and on the leash (unless instructed otherwise) and when in your home I will make sure they're in my sights at all time, in order to monitor their safety and ensure their wellbeing.
About: Having had Weimaraners in my household growing up, I’m no stranger to big dogs! That being said, I love the little guys too! I love a long walk and grew up taking my own pups on 3x45 minute walks a day, so I know how to tire them out! Having just graduated my Masters degree at university, I’m now a full time swimmer and swimming coach. Outside of coaching/training hours (typically very early mornings and evenings) I’m usually at home working on my laptop! With 2 Weimeraners at home, I’m used to high maintenance dogs! Ordinarily, my two are walked 3 times a day for 1 hour a walk, as well as being fed twice and let out into the garden maybe once an hour.

Pet owners share their Rover experiences - North Lanarkshire
Rick and Emma were very responsive from day one. Our elder cat, who has a kidney condition, was taken care of incredibly well. They managed her needs perfectly alongside our younger cat, despite their different feeding schedules. We received regular updates and photos whenever we needed them. When we returned, the house was left exactly as it was, and the garden and greenhouse watering were fully taken care of, even as our greenhouse transformed into an Amazonian jungle! They also kept a full feeding chart for our older cat, which was very helpful since she needs to be monitored closely. Emma even ensured that we had safely landed before leaving, making sure our elder cat wouldn't be left alone for hours. We would highly recommend them!
Caitlin stayed with our 3 Italian greyhounds while we were away for 6 nights. Normally we leave them with family when we go away, and we were anxious about how they would do with a stranger. We shouldn't have worried, because within an hour or so of leaving our house, Caitlin sent us a photo of all the dogs cuddling up with her on the couch. She was really great about sending daily updates and photos, and the dogs were happy and healthy when we returned. Not only that, the house was as tidy as if she'd never been there, and she'd washed the towels she'd used, etc. (I wasn't expecting this and would've been happy to tidy up myself, so was a treat!) I would highly recommend Caitlin to anyone and would love to have her back with us in the future! 10/10!

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 North Lanarkshire walking routes, the location of your favourite pet shop, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
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.
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 Lanarkshire 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.
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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest vet. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorisation form for your regular vet. An authorisation form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
