“Rhona was lovely and did a great job with our 2 dogs while we were away for a few days! She was very kind and very helpful, giving us plenty of updates and making sure dogs were happy. Thanks Rhona!”
“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.”
About: I am 29 years old, I work for Perth & Kinross Council as a Private Sector Officer, and I live in Scone, Perth. 🏡 I had a beautiful shihtzu called Spock, who we sadly lost in January, aged just 10. I currently volunteer twice a week for the Greyhound Trust Perth, providing physical care for ex racing greyhounds. I also have dog sitting hotel experience, predominately at Gleneagles hotel for guests. I am a true animal lover and have been for as long as I can remember, so much so that I became a vegetarian nearly 4 years ago. I have experience with dog sitting, caring for family and friends pets and am confident that I could happily care for yours! ❤️ I work from home 2 days a week, and 3 days in the office. I don’t have any children so I don’t need loads of notice, and can be fairly flexible and sporadic! I’m based in Perth (work wise too) and happy to travel whether that be throughout the day or in the evenings. I own a detached house with a very secure garden. My house is at the end of a dead end street and we have a gate, so it’s very quiet with limited traffic. I do not have any pets as I lost my dog in January and don’t feel ready to get a new one yet.
About: I grew up with two labradors and a jack russell. My childhood cat lived until she was around 19 so plenty of experience ranging from kitten to senior. I have also had a few Rottweilers over the years so can handle a more robust dog. Although mostly family pets, I’ve been involved in training, day to day care, walks etc. I’m confident with most breeds and temperaments and have had further experience with extended family dogs as well which are a variety of breeds. Your pet will be loved, understood and well cared for. I do work full time but can offer evenings. I am off typically on Wednesdays and Sundays so can offer full days on these days. House sitting would need to be booked in advance so I can make arrangements to be more available. I can ensure your pets routine will remain unbroken. Plenty of experience with different personality types and requirements so I will be comfortable caring for your pet.
“I can’t recommend Katie highly enough, she is superb. She looked after our two Cavalier King Charles spaniels for a week in our home and not only did she take amazing care of them, but also our home. She sent frequent updates and it was easy to relax while we were away as it was clear from the photos and videos, that both of our pups were very happy and relaxed with her. It is clear from the first time we met, Katie has a genuine love of animals and our two instantly took to her. We would not hesitate to book with Katie again😊”
About: I have a range of experience looking after lots of different dogs, did most of the training for my own dog who is now 10 Have looked after family and friends dogs Also done some in house dog sitting for 2 months I am a seasonal outdoor activities instructor so will be available all from October-January, walking dogs regularly or staying over is perfect for me I am very attentive and have a knack for knowing when all animals need more loving or to have time alone, and am more than happy to play and walk for hours if necessary can also keep up with strict training
About: I’ve looked after SO MANY different pets over the years, my own and others, have studied animal care in college and have friends who often rely on me for pet sitting. I’m always free between Friday night and Sunday evening, so if you need to bounce for a fun weekend away, I can guarantee your pet and I will have a fab weekend together! When looking after your pet, I will ask several questions about your home and your rules regarding your pet so that we can both rest easy knowing every aspect of the care is covered
About: Im 26, animal / outdoor lover. I’ve always enjoyed looking after cats around my work, I’ve done this for about 7 years without actively looking for cats, just often seem to be asked to cat sit. Since loosing my own cat I thought I’d seek some cats needing looked after myself as I have a bit more time now that I don’t look after my own and definitely missing cat company.
About: I've been enjoying using another app for house sitting pets in the owners home, have looked after 35 pets so far mostly dogs and really enjoy getting to know each beautiful soul! I'm physically and mentally strong, able to manage more demanding behaviors and with gentle patience, charm the most nervous pets. I'm a freelance community project lead so I am flexible and enjoy getting outdoors as much as possible. I love a walk to the park that backs on to my home or a bigger jaunt round to Victoria and Lochee park. I have a fenced in garden for zoomies and the park adjacent for longer stretches. We use the back door as our main door which offers additional safety as we can implement an 'airlock' system between the two internal doors 😅. Our neighborhood is a 20 zone and we live on a cul-de-sac. We have space for your crate if you would like to provide one for your dog's comfort.
“If we could give Christine 6 stars, we totally would! She was amazing with our dogs and her love for dogs is palpable. She is very thoughtful and respectful and though one of our boys is a bit shy and a bit unsure around new people, Christine was super patient and took her time to make him feel at ease. We came back to two very happy and well looked after boys and our house in pristine state. We cannot recommend Christine enough! Thank you xx”
About: I've had dogs in the family all my life, I lost my eldest Scotty dog of 14 years last year and am looking to keep dogs in my life though boarding and walking services. I'm quite lucky that I'm flexible when I work and can change days to suit so I'm at home with your pets. I can work from home to depending on the needs of you furries. I have a walled shared garden but would take your pet's on beach and Forest walks 😊 I live in a spacious flat with lots of parks and nature reserves nearby. I'm happy to pet sit at your home too.
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 took care of my own two cats for a total of 12 years who were home pets. Unfortunately, I’m currently without pets now so I’d like to help take care of yours when you can’t. My aim is to provide you with a worry free service which allows you to relax knowing your pet is in safe hands. I assure your pets’ needs are at the forefront of my day. I am happy to care for any type of pet: dogs, cats, birds, rabbits, hamster, guinea pig and more. I am permanently working from home Mondays to Fridays which enables me to be flexible around your pet. I provide walking, day care & overnight stays. I will adjust my schedule according to the pet (eg. longer lunch breaks to go on a long walk) but most of the time the pet will just be allowed to follow me anywhere and take part in my normal routines. I have a big garden so that your pet has room to play and move. It is currently unfenced, so I will keep your pet in sight and on a lead. I can also provide a room in the house for your pet to rest and cosy up. I can accommodate for both privacy of your pet or being with me all the time, whichever it needs. I will always make sure your pet has extensive time out and about on a walk (eg. for dogs) or other types of exercise/ stimulation/love. I generally keep pets on a lead all the time when out on a walk.

From start to finish a wonderful experience. Kelly was so friendly and helpful. She was totally accommodating of my requests and I came back to a happy healthy dog who had obviuosly been very well cared for and an immaculate house and kind touches. I highly recommend Kelly. Thank you.
Megan looked after my boy for a total of 13 nights, and had absolutely no worries or concerns about her care for him. We had met previously so they could get to know each other. Megan would send me photos of Larry and he always looked happy and content. He was well cared for and most importantly the trust was there. Would have no qualms in recommending her and I will certainly use her again. So a big thank you Megan.
Katie is a wonderful sitter and our dogs both absolutely adore her😊. If you are looking for someone to care for your dogs as if they were their own, I cannot recommend Katie highly enough. She is so kind and you can tell how much she loves animals. Katie has cared for Pip and Elvis more than once. Each time it allows us to truly relax as we know how well Pip and Elvis will be cared for. If I could give her 6 stars I would and we will definitely book with Katie again.
I strongly recommend Hannah as a pet-sitter. She really bonded with my dog during the initial visit. She listened carefully to the information I provided. She took loving care of my dog during the stay, and sent regular updates to me while I was away. Hannah also left the house just as she found it.

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 Perth 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 Perth , the price of house sitting can vary between £29 and £52 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 Perth 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 , which provides up to £25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
