Millie had a fantastic stay with Heather and her lovely family and I will definitely use this very dedicated pet sitter again”
“Cookie didn’t just have a boarder. She has an entire family who was dedicated, kind and went above and beyond to help her settle. Like a lot of German Shepherds cookie is very bonded to me her main owner, and it is difficult to leave her on first visit, but this wonderful family could not have made her more welcome. Incredible communication, pictures, updates. Could not have been more wonderful. How they recommended, wonderful people, and amazing service.”
“Danielle was amazing with our lovely old boy. We had an initial meet and greet, Danielle made us all welcome and put us at ease about leaving Teddy. While we were away she sent daily pup dates, videos and photos. There was a minor health issue which she contacted me about and offered a simple solution. 100% satisfied and he is booked in for another stay in October. Thank you”

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.

“Jennifer was kind, helpful and efficient at getting back to me, and making quick arrangements for a stay as well as squeezing in a Meet and Greet beforehand. I was impressed with the Meet & Greet, as well as showing us around her home and garden, Jennifer wanted to go for a walk with Digory and ourselves so that she could see firsthand how to handle him. Very reassuring. From the start, it was clear to us that Digory was settled and happy. Regular messages, questions and pictures assured us that he was being carefully and thoughtfully looked after.”

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: 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.
“Eleanor was friendly, on time and gave a great impression at the introductory visit. I had plenty of cute photos and videos of my furbabies having some fun and when I got home I had 3 content kitties! This was my first time using cat in a flat and I’m so glad it went well and that I’ve found a trustworthy sitter for my cats! ”
“Rebecca was so understanding and accommodating for me and my Ruby, and I felt like nothing was too much trouble. My cat is super cautious and shy but warmed to Rebecca immediately, making me look like a liar - which in this case I’m thrilled about! Rebecca sent me updates from every drop in and I was able to enjoy my trip away knowing Ruby was as happy as she could be. I would recommend her highly, thank you Rebecca, your kindness and respect to Ruby’s boundaries was so appreciated.”

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.

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 was a cattery house manager for 2+ years before attending vet school and have looked after my own beloved cats alongside 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. 🐾💜

About: I retired from full time work a few years ago, so I now have loads of time on a daily basis to allocate to dog walking/sitting/drop-in visits/boarding. I have been a dog owner/carer since 2010. In that time, I have cared for my dog, Cody. Cody had epilepsy and also a heart condition. Therefore I also have experiance in administering oral medication to a rather reluctant dog. I was lucky enough to be Cody's owner for almost 12 of the best years ever. When Cody and I went for a walk, it was very much Cody taking me for a walk rather than the other way round. I believe that's the way it should be. It's the dogs time to do what a dog needs to do, it's the Owner's responsibility to ensure the walk is done in a relaxed and safe manner. I'm now the owner of a very lovable Maltese Terrier. Toby had been my Sister-In-Laws dog since birth and is now 7 years old. I have been Toby's owner since August 2024. So, if you're looking for a reliable dog carer with loads of time for your dog, then let me know. I retired from full time work a few years ago, so I now have loads of time on a daily basis to allocate to dog walking/sitting/drop-in visits/boarding. I have a very friendly 7 year old male Maltese Terrier to keep your dog company. As with my own dog, your dog is free to roam anywhere within my house and within my fenced in back garden. My house is a bungalow, so no stairs to worry about. I can and do spend a lot of time ensuring my dog is as safe and comfortable as possible. I will do the same for your dog.
“Kirsty was great with our rather large, single-minded German Shepherd, Bodhi! Punctual, flexible and a true dog-lover! Kirsty walked Bodhi while he stayed at my mum’s when we were on holiday. We got great updates after each walk, and Kirsty amended timings to make sure he wasn’t walked in the extreme heat. I’d recommend Kirsty to anyone.”

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 have always had pets in my home (mostly cats and dogs). I dog walk for a variety of my friends and family and have experience dog walking different breeds. I also cat sit and many have been cats that are rescued. I am excited to become and dog walker and pet sitter when required! I have recently went self employed and have so much time to dog walk and cat/dog sit when required. I prefer being self employed meaning i can do this when I want to and which best suits the owner. I am such an animal lover and want to spend time caring/ looking after animals as I see this as more of a hobby compared to a job because I love it so much. I’ve walked dogs small and large and have gained experience feeding, walking and bathing dogs.
About: I’ve owned dogs since a very young age. I’m obsessed with any animals big or small and love to care for them. I own my own horses aswell so know what hard work is like. I currently work in a doggie day care for the past 3years now and love my job I currently work 4 days a week. The rest of my days are available for me to spend loads of time with your pets and give them the best care possible The safety of your pet will always be my priority! I’ll always make sure there is a secured area for your pet to play and have fun
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.
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: So happy to be back on rover after taking a break with life getting in the way (for those recognising my reviews are from two years ago). I currently work in mental health within the NHS while also studying part time but have years of experience looking after family dogs growing up, dog walking, sitting and boarding for friends, neighbours, family and to local owners. I'm back to Rover to begin walking more regularly as nothing fulfills me more than getting outdoors in all weathers and without being able to have a dog of my own for the moment, I'm taking this opportunity to combine my love of looking after and being around dogs and pets and the outdoors. I enjoy hikes and being outside in all weathers so much, and find so much joy in it having canine companions as I explore. I'm used to working with medium to large dogs and on occasion small dogs and am comfortable with all. I can lone work with your dog/dogs if they only work well with each other and ensure they're still getting outside and looked after. • I like to send an update and check-in with you at the start and end of the walk so you know what they've been up to and where they've been to for the day. • I'm more than happy to work with your training style if you've got a puppy to ensure consistency in development and progression • I have worked with reactive dogs, including rescues and do my best to ensure they're not overstimulated or triggered and have an enjoyable experience to build trust, feel cared for and safe properly I am looking to build a regular base of dogs I walk and look after to fit around current part time work and studying. I update my calendar regularly to reflect this. I have a fenced back garden and plenty of room in the house and comfortable areas for your pets to make themselves at home. There are also vast areas of green space and a country park nearby to walk your dogs.
About: I have taken care of many family friends pets, comfortable with any temperament, can do daily check ins and walks or overnight stays when needed, student veterinary nurse so have gained extra handling experience. I am also currently working on a farm so spend most days looking after lots of animals including overnight care when the farmer is away. Currently working part time on farm from 8am-1pm Monday- Thursday and Sundays, able to do drop in visits/ walks before work. Come September I am back at uni 2 days a week and then do online classes other days which means I am able to do multiple drop ins/ walks a day and overnights when needed. Comfortable staying in people’s homes when needed, can cater to any and all needs of pets. If dogs have routines of going to enclosed dog parks I am able to stick to routine as I can drive and have had no incidents or claims.

“Cookie didn’t just have a boarder. She has an entire family who was dedicated, kind and went above and beyond to help her settle. Like a lot of German Shepherds cookie is very bonded to me her main owner, and it is difficult to leave her on first visit, but this wonderful family could not have made her more welcome. Incredible communication, pictures, updates. Could not have been more wonderful. How they recommended, wonderful people, and amazing service.”

Very reassuring. From the start, it was clear to us that Digory was settled and happy. Regular messages, questions and pictures assured us that he was being carefully and thoughtfully looked after.”

“Margaret was fantastic with our nervous greyhound, Doddie. We had regular updates and photographs of his walks, which looked amazing in beautiful countryside. Before we left, after meeting Margaret ( with Doddie) at her home , I was confident that he was going to be well looked after. Obviously a caring, genuine dog lover and keen to make our boy relaxed.”
