“Elin is an amazing dog sitter Penny loves going and she always sends regular updates and changes her plans with dogs flexibly depending on the weather when it is too warm and goes forest walks when it is super rainy. This is the second time we have booked with Elin and would definitely book again!”
“First time leaving our dogs with Scott and I’m sure it won’t be the last! Scott was amazing, plenty of pics and updates. Our dogs settled well and loved their time being spoiled with cuddles, walks and plenty of attention. I will be recommending Scott to EVERYONE! Thank you 🐾♥️ x”
“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”
“Koko and Yoyo were absolutely fantastic with my two Shih Tzus. They settled in almost immediately, which really put my mind at ease. I received plenty of updates and lots of lovely photos throughout their stay, so I always knew they were happy and well cared for. The children were wonderful with the dogs too. They were so patient and respectful, giving them space to settle in and letting the dogs come to them in their own time. Once they were comfortable, they got lots of cuddles, attention, and playtime, and it was clear they were having a great time. I felt completely confident that my dogs were in safe, caring hands, and I wouldn’t hesitate to leave them with Koko’s family again. I highly recommend Koko to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter!”
“Ashleigh was our first sitter for our wee rescue, meaning I was a little anxious. I needn’t have been. Our wee pooch received so much more than being sat. He was loved, by her whole family. Ashleigh sent me regular messages and photos throughout the time and our boy was completely relaxed on pick up. Highly recommend Ashleigh’s services.”
“He was super friendly and organised a meet up for myself and Cody beforehand. Happy to accommodate any preferences and have it like a home from home. Would definitely use again!”
“Arlo’s first time staying with Megan and he loved it Megan is really lovely Communication was great and so accommodating in extending Arlo’s stay. Hopefully be back soon ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Maisie had a wonderful time! She had the run house and garden, a couple of pals to play with and 2 excellent surrogate parents!! Excellent communication and organisation couldn’t recommend highly enough.”

About: Hello! We are Lauren and Stephen. We've had dogs for a number of years and have trained them from puppies. We currently have 2 very friendly dogs - Sam (cocker spaniel, 10 years old) and Sid (border collie, 5 years old) so have experience with dogs of different ages and sizes. Lauren has received training on home grooming and has groomed Sam his whole life. There is nothing that we enjoy more than spending time with our pups and have taken them on a number of adventures climbing munroes. We also like to take them on forest and beach walks. Lauren currently works full time Mon-Fri 9-5 and will be available on evenings 6PM-9PM and all day on weekends. Stephen also works full time but could be available on a Friday, weekends and evenings. We have a fully fenced and secure garden, along with dog bathing facilities if required. We also have a van available, with secure crates and ventilation.
“I’m so happy with the care they give my dog. They treat him with so much love, kindness, and patience, and I can genuinely see how happy and comfortable he is when he goes there. Knowing that he is in such caring hands gives me great peace of mind. I really appreciate everything they do for him and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a daycare where their dog is truly cared for like family.”

“Chloe is a fantastic cat sitter! She is kind, professional and looked after our cat as if he were her own. Chloe kept us up to date with pictures and videos every day. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a cat sitter. Thank you! ”
“I went away for my Christmas holidays and Suzi was the best cat sitter ever, as usual. The house was nice and tidy (litter, kitchen), I found my Minnie happy and she had clean bowls and plenty of water in the sinks, as she likes it. It’s so nice to know you can count on a trusted cat sitter when you go away.”
About: I have owned cats since I can remember. My most recent cat passed away a year ago. Myself and my parents rescued her when she was 1 and we had her up until her last breath at the age of 17. Now living with my partner and not owning a cat (due to rental agreement not allowing pets) I am missing having a furry friend to cuddle into. I will treat your cat with upmost respect as we all know it’s their world - we just live in it.
“Casey was fab with drop ins for my cat Bob. She communicated well every single day and pictures after every drop in. Would highly recommend and i will definitely use her again!!!”
About: While I have more experience with dogs, I’m also comfortable caring for friendly cats and understand the importance of patience, gentle handling, and respecting each pet’s personality and space. I’m reliable, calm, and happy to follow feeding routines, provide companionship, playtime, and make sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I genuinely enjoy being around animals and always aim to provide caring and trustworthy support.
“It was my first time leaving Hurrair on his own and i was scared but Holly made it so easy. She looked after my cat for 4 days, ensuring he was comfortable and happy in her care. The photo updates were a fantastic touch, and coming back to a healthy, well fed, and cheerful cat was the best feeling. I will definitely be using her services again and highly recommend her!"”
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! ”
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. 🐾💜
“I couldn’t have asked for better from Ailsa when looking after my cat Ozzy! Even with relatively short notice she was happy to come meet him before and was able to put me at ease. When I was away her care was first class and she sent regular updates which included pictures and videos. She was handing over to another pet sitter (as arranged by myself) and organised this perfectly, making sure she talked them through the important points and staying behind to hand over keys. She changed the bedding and left the place in a great condition. More importantly, when I arrived home Ozzy was happy and healthy with clean litter trays, food and water bowls. I would highly recommend Ailsa as a pet sitter and wouldn’t hesitate to use her again in the future 🫶🏼”
About: Having had the pleasure of being a cat dad for 19 years, plus my level 2 and 3 in animal care and management, and a degree in animal behaviour and welfare, I have been able to work with cats in both a domestic setting and a veterinary hospital, at a pet rescue. While working towards my degree, I looked after my grandparents' and sisters' cats any chance I got. I also helped at a pet rescue as a socialiser for cats afraid of people.
About: Being obsessed with my own cat Oreo. I can provide genuine care and give attention to every cat in my care. I will take time to get to know their routine and personality, keep their space clean and comfortable with thorough litter tray cleaning, and make sure they feel relaxed in their own home. I’m confident giving medications if needed and always follow instructions carefully. With regular updates and photos, you can feel reassured knowing your cat is in safe, caring hands.
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’ve taken care of cats all the time and my neighbours cat always comes in to mine snd she texts me to look after her when she is on nightshift my neighbours cat sits in my drive and waits for me to come home

About: Bespoke 1 to 1 dog boarding by the Sea. A calm, loving home-from-home by the coast, offering individual attention, relaxed routines and lovely seaside walks. No busy kennels or lots of unfamiliar dogs. I get to know the owner and dog before boarding so all your dogs needs are catered for. Dogs are part of the family while staying and allowed to wander, relax on the sofa and sleep in the bedroom. So if your dog is nervous, thrives in a quieter environment away from stress and triggers, requires medication or a special diet they will get all of that in my home. I’ve had my own dogs for 35 yrs and recently lost my boy. I struggled to find anywhere for him that I was happy with as he had his own special needs even since a puppy. I don’t want another dog full time now as I’m 60 and both my kids live abroad so I want the freedom now to travel but while In Scotland can give a lot of love to your dog. I decided there was a gap in the market that maybe I should fill. Kennels or home boarding alongside multiple dogs seems to be all that’s on offer. If your pooch is pampered then let me pamper them for you. I live a 2 min walk to the beach so they will love their holiday as much as you will knowing you can relax and they are happy here. If you’d like to chat more to see if we are the right fit pls message me. I currently work from Home so am available all day. I have several days off per week also so plenty time to spend cuddling your fur baby. I offer 2 walks per day and lots of cuddles and play time. I offer a 121 bespoke service to each owner so that I can tailor my service to your dogs needs. I have no other pets and only take 1 dog at a time so you can relax knowing your pet is getting all of my attention. I do not let dogs off lead under my supervision unless their recall is excellent and I’m confident in their surroundings.
About: I've had both cats and dogs all throughout my life and I have plenty of experience looking after animals. I regularly look after my family and friends pets and I love having a furry companion by my side. I live in a house with a large garden with lots of room to play and all animals are welcome on our sofas and bed if that's where they are most comfortable. Also, if you'd rather we kept them off furniture to keep consistent with training at home then I'm more than happy to follow your rules. I work from home full time so I have plenty of availability and I'll be around to keep your dog company, with lots of stimulation and walks. I'm comfortable with large dogs and will do my very best to accommodate any special requests or concerns you might have. Excited to meet your furry best friend! 🐈🐶 I work from home full-time self employed so I'd love a furry companion or two to keep me company! I'm available for day sits, nights & holidays and I'm able to accommodate for as many walks needed. I'd love to keep you updated regularly about how your pet is doing with pictures and texts ☺️ happy to listen to any requests or concerns you have.

Prices are estimates per walk for 1 dog. Pricing may vary based on your search and includes a booking fee of 11%.
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.
About: From 5th October - 22nd November 2026 I will be on placement with possible 12hour shift. Please be away of this before enquiring. I have had animals my whole life. Both cats and dogs hold a very large space in my heart. After loosing my partners dog a couple months ago the hole in my heart is definitely needing filled. I love the beach and anything out in the country side. I have a horse so being outdoors is my norm. I’m currently a nursing student looking to gain a little extra money whilst doing something I love. I’d love to house sit within the comfort of your dogs home. Keeping them as comfortable and as settled as possible. I’m a student nurse so during placement I’m not as able to care for your furry friends but outwith that my time is very flexible. I work bank for the NHS Ayrshire and Arran so I chose shifts that fit into my schedule. I will be happy to not pick up shifts when caring for your fur baby. I will follow any care plan you have set. I will cater the needs of your part to how they are cared for by you.

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: Having gained a level 2 and 3 in animal care and management, and then a BSc (Hons) in Animal behaviour and welfare, I have worked with various species of animals from cats and dogs to horses, sheep, pigs, bearded dragons, geckos, and multiple aquatic animals of the like. I have been an animal management and care specialist for a HE college, then moved to a veterinary specialist hospital as a technician. I have now turned to human nursing post covid. I currently work as a nurse, from 0830 till 5 pm Monday to Friday, I am free nearly every weekend. I am more than happy to have your furry child over night or to look in on them after work or on weekends. Having an open-plan flat, the rooms are filled with natural light; CCTV will be an option, but daily updates will be included as standard. I will insist on password pickup (you and I agree on a secret password if someone other than the person who drops them off is picking them up). If visiting your home, I will be wearing body-worn CCTV and will text or video chat during my visit to ensure that you are aware that I have attended to your goodest boy/girl.
“This was out first experience of both using a dog walker and also of Chloe coming to walk Murphy. She tweaked times to suit our schedule, gave us updates of how both his walks went today. Will absolutely use Chloe again for future walks. Thank you x”
“It was total peace of mind having Natalie walking Skye whilst I was away for a short break. Natalie took time to meet Skye beforehand and get to know her likes and dislikes. I was kept updated each day including pictures. Skye thoroughly enjoyed herself with Natalie. I would definitely book Natalie again in the future.”
About: I have rich experience looking after dogs and cats for friends and neighbours. I am patient, responsible and will send regular photo updates to keep owners informed. I can provide timely toilet breaks and playful interactions to keep pets happy and relaxed. I have flexible time throughout the whole week. I can respond quickly to pet care requests and arrange walking or home visits anytime as needed I will carefully look after pets in the owner’s home. I keep a calm and quiet environment and pay close attention to pets’ safety and feeding routine all the time.
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: 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 dog walker currently walking 7 dogs a week permanently. I also carry out pet visits and house sit on and off for regular clients. I am fully insured with 2+ years experience. 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: I have experience caring for pets of all sizes – from dogs and cats to guinea pigs! I’ve looked after both energetic puppies and senior dogs, tailoring their care to their individual needs. I'm confident with feeding routines, walks, playtime, and administering basic medications. Your pet will be in safe, loving hands. I currently don't work full-time with flexibility to work from home, and I’m mostly available on weekdays and weekends for daytime care or overnight stays. I live in a secure, pet-friendly flat with a large, fenced garden – perfect for safe outdoor time. I'm also just a 3-minute walk from a lovely big park for walks and play. I'm happy to crate your dog if needed and always make sure they feel comfortable and cared for.

“Elin is an amazing dog sitter Penny loves going and she always sends regular updates and changes her plans with dogs flexibly depending on the weather when it is too warm and goes forest walks when it is super rainy. This is the second time we have booked with Elin and would definitely book again!”
“First time leaving our dogs with Scott and I’m sure it won’t be the last! Scott was amazing, plenty of pics and updates. Our dogs settled well and loved their time being spoiled with cuddles, walks and plenty of attention. I will be recommending Scott to EVERYONE! Thank you 🐾♥️ x”
“Koko and Yoyo were absolutely fantastic with my two Shih Tzus. They settled in almost immediately, which really put my mind at ease. I received plenty of updates and lots of lovely photos throughout their stay, so I always knew they were happy and well cared for. The children were wonderful with the dogs too. They were so patient and respectful, giving them space to settle in and letting the dogs come to them in their own time. Once they were comfortable, they got lots of cuddles, attention, and playtime, and it was clear they were having a great time. I felt completely confident that my dogs were in safe, caring hands, and I wouldn’t hesitate to leave them with Koko’s family again. I highly recommend Koko to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter!”
“Ashleigh was our first sitter for our wee rescue, meaning I was a little anxious. I needn’t have been. Our wee pooch received so much more than being sat. He was loved, by her whole family. Ashleigh sent me regular messages and photos throughout the time and our boy was completely relaxed on pick up. Highly recommend Ashleigh’s services.”
“He was super friendly and organised a meet up for myself and Cody beforehand. Happy to accommodate any preferences and have it like a home from home. Would definitely use again!”
“Arlo’s first time staying with Megan and he loved it Megan is really lovely Communication was great and so accommodating in extending Arlo’s stay. Hopefully be back soon ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
About: I have taken care of a wide range of breeds from pomeranians (my own) to collies, to vislas, to crossbreeds. My home has a gated garden therefore freedom to roam outside securely! I own my own dog Winston and he gets three walks a day. One in the morning, one in the afternoon and one in the evening. I work from home some days during the week and these days I have the back door open for the dog to roam in and out the house as he pleases. I have eyes on him at all times as my dining table is located at the back door which is beneficial. I have one friendly dog who will keep your dog company and a fenced garden. My neighbours are an elderly couple who give my dog one treat every day through the fence and they love it when I take my other neighbours dogs for the day, the more the merrier. My area has lots of nice woodland walks near by and I have a car to travel to spots in the area - dogs will ALWAYS be kept safely on the lead. Open to altering my day to fit around the specific needs of your dog.

“I’m so happy with the care they give my dog. They treat him with so much love, kindness, and patience, and I can genuinely see how happy and comfortable he is when he goes there. Knowing that he is in such caring hands gives me great peace of mind. I really appreciate everything they do for him and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a daycare where their dog is truly cared for like family.”
“Our dog George had a great time staying with Emily and Charlie. He came home very happy after being treated to doggy cartoons. Emily looked after George overnight and kept me informed with pictures and video. I would highly recommended Emily and we will definitely have George back there again soon. Thanks”
“Jennifer looked after our two cocker spaniels overnight. This was her 1st time looking after our girls and she came for a meet and greet a couple of weeks before and learned all about our dogs and their needs. They were treated as part of her family, and walked several times with lots of photos to update us along the way. The dogs seemed very happy and relaxed. I would not hesitate to use Jennifer again or recommend Jennifer to anyone needing dog sitting in the Ayrshire area.”

I will use her services again. She communicated by text very efficiently, and sent us regular updates of our wee dog. I would recommend you use her services!”
