“Charlene was an absolute star! 🌟 Could not of asked for anyone better to look after my fur baby. From start to finish she made me feel completely at ease with leaving Meg for the night. Already booked her next overnight, and Meg can’t wait to see her again! 🥰”

“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.”

“Rhona was an absolute superstar ! She saved us at the last minute and was calm and experienced throughout all communications. Frida had an amazing time with her and we can’t thank her enough. The house is spotless and we have a very happy dog! 🐶 Thank you so much Rhona - we would not hesitate in recommending you 😍 x”

“Cameron was fantastic with Lieben and when I returned after my wee break Lieben appeared totally relaxed as if I had never been away Cameron will be looking after Lieben again shortly. I would highly recommend Cameron”

“We met Sean a few days before the sit and Angus took to him immediately as did we. What a thoroughly nice gentleman. So accommodating, friendly and approachable. He will be my go to sitter that’s for sure. Can’t thank him or recommend him enough.”

“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.”

“Excellent service from Justine, warm & friendly and just loved the dogs They both seemed to be very happy & content with her, lots of photos sent and regular updates so I was happy too ☺️ Will definitely be requesting Justine again!”


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: Hello, my name is Margaret. I live 10 minutes away from the centre of Perth, so I'm in a great location to travel and help out with your pets at short notice. I'm also happy to do small household tasks like taking the bins in/out and closing/opening curtains if required while you are away. As a cat owner and previous user of cat sitter services, I know how important it is to have a proactive and caring person available to look after your pet. My own cat is an 11 year old boy called Louie who had a period of ill health several years ago, so I am experienced at looking after cats with medical issues. I am happy to pop in to say hello and establish your cat's needs before you leave. I will also provide daily updates (including photos/videos of your pets) so you don't miss them too much until you return 🐱

“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😊”
“Another fantastic sitter session with Luna, Chloe came to the house to look after Luna for a few hours, we got photos and updates throughout, Luna looked like she had fun. Doggy tv left on until we returned was a special touch. Thanks again!”

“This our first time using a dog sitting service and we were very happy with Amaris. No issues at all. Even though she was sick at the start of the dog sitting she still looked after them and kept us updated (usually on how naughty the puppy had been) but they were fed and cuddled and seemed to be happy around Amaris which was our biggest worry as this was bew to both us and the dogs. They are big boisterous dogs (60kg adult and 35kg 8 month old) so it was pleasing to have someone who was able to manage them.”

About: I've interacted with dogs all my life. I have always had a special connection with dogs. I have experience with dogs from weeks old all the way to the ripe old age of 16 years old. I have trained rescue dogs with aggression issues, including older dogs like Charlie, my departed Collie who I rescued when he was 10 years old. He went from aggressive on the lead to walking safely off the lead within 6 months. My primary occupation is as a live at home carer and I am.also a freelance journalist. I am incredibly flexible and have plenty free time. I live in the perfect place for dogs. I have a fenced garden and live 500 feet from Broughty Ferry's stunning waterfront which offers a variety of stunning walks to take pooch's on.
“Nicole went above and beyond for Echo! She took her on great adventures and sent lots of pictures and videos. Nicole was incredibly flexible and accommodating when I had to extend the stay one extra day. So grateful and highly recommend Nicole to everyone!”

About: I’m not just a regular pet sitter, I’m a cool pet sitter! Based in Perth, I treat every pet like my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and happy while you’re away. From walkies and playtime to cuddles and care, I tailor every visit to suit their needs. You’ll always have peace of mind with regular updates, knowing your pets are in reliable, loving hands and maybe even having a little extra fun along the way! Pet care is part of my everyday routine. I work a hybrid role which allows me to be at home often, giving me flexibility and plenty of time to dedicate to pets in my care. I also have two horses and my own dog, so looking after animals is a normal and fulfilling part of my life. I understand the love, attention, and responsibility they need, and I enjoy making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for every single day. The safety and wellbeing of every pet I care for will always be my top priority. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and any specific needs, ensuring they feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. I treat every animal as if they were my own, providing gentle handling, safe environments, and lots of love and attention. To build trust with owners, I keep open communication with regular updates, photos, and messages so they always know how their pet is doing. By being reliable, caring, and consistent, both pets and their owners can feel confident and at ease.

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. My first pet was a Dalmatian called Tessa when I was four years old, and she quickly became my best friend. Growing up, I also spent lots of time helping to care for my gran’s dogs, taking them on walks and learning how to look after them. My dream job was always to be a vet, and I even used to watch Cesar Millan religiously because I was fascinated by dog behaviour. I have a family dog who is a 16-year-old Border Collie called Blu (you’ll spot him in my profile picture!). I trained him myself, and he’s the sweetest, best-behaved boy. When I was around 12, I walked a neighbour’s dog every day after school, and ever since then I’ve loved caring for other people’s pets. These days I regularly look after my mother-in-law’s Cockapoo as well as dogs and cats for family friends. I’ve been pet sitting for the same family for the past couple of years, and it’s what inspired me to join Rover. Although I don’t currently have a dog living with me, that’s only because I want to wait until I’m in a house before getting one of my own. I genuinely miss having a dog around and love spending time outdoors on long walks. My grandad always used to say I had “animals on the brain”—and he wasn’t wrong! At work, everyone knows how much I love dogs. If they can’t find me, they joke that they just need to look for the nearest dog! While I didn’t grow up with cats, pet sitting has made me very confident caring for them too, and I’ve really grown to love their unique personalities. I work full-time as a Housing Officer, but I have a very flexible job and often work from home, so I can fit my schedule around your pet’s needs. If required, I’m also happy to take annual leave to provide the best possible care. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I promise to treat them with the same love, patience and care that I would my own. My long-term dream is to work with animals full-time, so every pet I care for means the world to me. Caring for animals fits naturally into my daily life because it’s something I genuinely enjoy. I love being outdoors, going on long walks and exploring nature, so having a dog to share those adventures with is something I really look forward to. I work full-time as a Housing Officer, but I often work from home and have a flexible schedule, which means I can plan my working days around bookings whenever possible. I also drive, making it easy for me to travel for walks, drop-in visits and house sitting. Most weekends I’m free, and as I’m currently saving for my wedding next year, I tend to spend my weekends going to the gym and spending time with family and friends. That means I have plenty of time to dedicate to caring for pets and making sure they get the attention, exercise and companionship they deserve. For me, spending time with animals never feels like work—it’s something I genuinely love and one of the highlights of my week. Your pet’s safety, happiness and routine are my top priorities. I live in a clean, second-floor, one-bedroom flat with access to a shared garden. As there are no other pets living in my block,it’s a calm environment where your pet can feel safe and relaxed. I understand that every pet is different, so I’m happy to follow your usual routine as closely as possible, whether that’s feeding schedules, medication, exercise, playtime or simply lots of cuddles. If your dog is crate trained, I’m happy to use a crate if that’s part of their normal routine. When caring for pets in your home, I’ll respect both your home and your pet’s routine, making sure they feel comfortable, secure and well looked after while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you have complete peace of mind.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for most of my life. I’ve had big dogs, and puppy sat small dogs. I love animals, and always pay close attention to their boundaries. I’ve cared for foster dogs as well. My experience starts from 9 years old when I adopted my puppy. Ever since then I fed, bathed, and walked the dogs in my house. At the moment I am away on vacation. It may take me a few hours to reply since there is a time difference. I am a university student so I don’t have classes until September. Except for planned vacations I am available because I don’t currently have a weekly routine. How I take care of your pet will be dependent on the needs and desires that you specify. If you want me to follow a strict schedule then I will. Guidance is preferred since I do not know your pet as well as you do I would like to know what is important for their care.

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.
“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 have taken care of my friend's Labrador cross rescue here and there for two years now. my responsibilities included dog walking, feeding, toilet runs, giving her medication, doing runs in the car, and showering her with love and attention. I am currently a full-time nursing student at UoD and have classes throughout the week but I am usually free Thursday to Monday. If I do have to go to a lecture it is usually no more than two hours. In my home with the cats we feed the cats 3 times a day and get let in for attention usually after breakfast and stay in the house (they are outside cats) until their next meal and then go out to eat in the garage while we eat in the house and when everyone is done they are let back in. When petsitting for my friend, we would usually go for 1-2 walks a day and spend most of our time playing in the back garden or driving around with her head out the window. At night we would sit and cuddle together while watching TV and then she would sleep in her bed overnight.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Perth is £30

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.
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 Perth 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.
