“First class, first time Phoebe was left overnight with someone not in her own house. I was updated often with images and how she was doing. I was anxious at first but I soon realised she was happy and showered with attention, just as I had hoped for. Phoebe has come home and slept all day. That’s a great sign!! Looking forward to many more visits x”
“Donald looked after Chorizo for us for one day and night whilst he was recovering from being neutered. This was highly appreciated as Chorizo had a cone on and needed extra supervision during toilet breaks and when eating and drinking. Thank you again.”

It was great having Heathers dog, little Daisy there too for a little companion for Gigi, I am sure she is missing her lots. Thanks again to Heather for looking after her so well and putting our minds at ease whilst we were on our family holiday.”
“Scott was fantastic with Tyson, handled his behaviour fantastically and Tyson was clearly loved and spoilt during his stay. Would highly recommend and will definitely rebook for future trips.”
“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.”
“Our wee boy went to stay with Kirsty for a night while we attended a wedding. She offered a meet and greet before hand which went really well and we knew he would be well looked after. She sent us regular pictures and he was clearly having a fantastic time with his new friends! He chewed through his lead and she replaced it which was very kind but absolutely not needed! He had another one with him and he is a chewy pup so we would have happily replaced it. We will definitely use Kirsty again.”
“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: 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.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life and caring for animals has always come very naturally to me. I previously had my own beloved cat, Pablo, who taught me so much about companionship, patience and the unique personalities animals have. Alongside my experience with dogs and cats, I’ve also worked as an equine therapy co-facilitator, supporting therapeutic work involving horses and people. This gave me a strong understanding of animal behaviour, nervous systems, emotional attunement and creating calm, safe environments, something I bring into the way I care for dogs too. I know how important it is to feel your dog is genuinely cared for whilst you’re away, so I aim to create a relaxed, loving home away from home experience where dogs feel secure, comfortable and included in daily life. I’m naturally calm, patient, attentive and playful and I take time to get to know each dog’s individual needs, routines and personality. I also regularly care for friends’ dogs, so I’m very used to different personalities, routines and needs and I genuinely love having dogs around the home and out on walks. I have a secure garden for dogs to relax and play in, and I’m also very close to both the beach and forest walks, so there are plenty of opportunities for calm nature walks, exploration and outdoor time during their stay. Whether your dog loves adventures, companionship, playtime or cuddles on the sofa, I’ll make sure they feel safe, settled and cared for. I’m also happy to send regular photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your dog is happy and in good hands. I work Monday-Wednesday in an office but will do walks before and after work. I work in an office Monday-Wednesday so will do walks before & after work. I work from home on Thursdays and Fridays with lots of flexibility throughout the day for walks, playtime and cuddles. I’m also available over the weekends for boarding. I have a secure fenced garden where dogs can safely relax, play and enjoy outdoor time. I only take a small number of dogs at once so I can give each dog plenty of attention, care and supervision throughout their stay. I understand that every dog has different needs, routines and comfort levels, so I take time to help them settle in gently and feel safe in my home. I’m calm, patient and attentive, and I always prioritise your dog’s wellbeing and emotional comfort. I live close to the beach and forest walks, providing plenty of opportunities for safe, enriching walks in nature. I’m also happy to follow your dog’s usual routines, feeding schedules and any special care instructions to help them feel as settled as possible whilst you’re away

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. So I’m experienced with nervous/anxious dogs that just need a bit more time and patience. Above all, I’ll make sure that we always have fun together. I’m more than happy to send lots of photo updates so you know your dogs in good hands. I’m currently working part time so I’ll have plenty of days available to be able to care for your pets. My schedule will be updated weekly with my availability. I currently have two dogs of my own and completely understand how hard it can be to trust other people with your pets. I have experience with a variety of different breeds and temperaments.
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.
“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.
“Michael visited our dogs twice as we would be out all day. He fed walked and played with them during his visits. He kept us up yo date with text and photos. We would not hesitate to recommend Michael to anyone looking for the services he provides.”
About: I have experience caring for pets. I grew up around animals and I’ve always enjoyed looking after and spending time with them. I currently have my own cat Mia. She has been with me for the past 10 years after I adopted her when she was 3 years old. Looking after her has given me valuable experience with daily pet care, feeding routines, administering basic care, understanding feline behaviour and providing companionship and attention. I understand the importance of caring for animals and I will treat all pets with the same care, patience and attention that I give my own. Whether your pet needs feeding, playtime, company or simply someone to check in, I’m happy to help. I look forward to meeting you and your pets!
“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.”

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: 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.
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’ve managed a cattery, looked after my own beloved dogs and cats, and 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 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: 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.

“Again Ching works her magic, she is just perfect. When picking up my fur baby is just so obvious that she's had a wonderful time and is reluctant to leave her best friends Zima and Muffin. The affection that Skye shows towards Ching tells me everything I need to know, and that is that Ching is one in a million 🤩”

About: Dog walking is my happy place. With an enclosed garden, detached house and a safe car- I’m very excited to be on Rover to further my dog & cat sitting experience. I’ve grown up being a dog owner, from puppies to senior rescues with additional needs. I’ve also had a few cats so I’m very comfortable when I’m around animals. In addition to providing extensive care, I enjoy taking the time to continue and maintain training. From puppies & kittens to more senior pets, I am delighted to care for them all. I understand some animals can feel anxious in an unfamiliar environment- for that reason I sleep downstairs in the living room with the animals to provide a bit of additional comfort and support during the night. Happy to provide as many photos & videos as the owner would like for their own peace of mind. I work part time and I often am off weekends, so when I’m marked available for pet sitting you can be assured that I will be home 90% of the time if not 100% of the time. I do not pet sit if I am working that day or the following day; so the animals have my full attention. In my home, animals are allowed to be in a crate if it is what the owner wishes for their own comfort but I prefer that they are allowed to follow me from room to room to explore. I sleep downstairs with animals so that they feel safe. Happy to provide specific nutrition and medication (not injections). I am happy to have 2 dogs or 2 cats from the same household, but I do not mix animals from different households. Cats would be kept indoors at all times. Dogs are encouraged to play in my enclosed garden under my supervision, in addition to going on lovely walks. Happy to take dogs in my car to local beaches and parks for walking.
“We can’t thank Rebecca enough for taking care of our boy Reuben for us on our wedding day, she made the service so effortless and kept us up to date with how he was doing, Reuben had the best time & we will definitely use her again in the future Xxx”

Whether its a relaxed stroll or an energetic run or some extra cuddle time, I tailor every walk and visit to suit each pets unique needs. I am currently not working after relocating recently.

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.
“Michael took the time to come and meet Bailey before the walk so that they could get to know each other first. Bailey was then very happy to see him and walk with him a few days later. Michael sent a very detailed report of how they got on and some pictures - Bailey obviously thoroughly enjoyed himself! Very happy with the care Michael took and hope Bailey can walk with him again soon!”
About: I have many years experience with pet care, including working in a Veterinary Practice, dog walking, check in’s and even overnight stays!

I currently own an almost 2 year old Collie named Clover who is my whole world :) I currently work at a small business Animal shop a couple of days a week. I am open for bookings on Tuesday, Wednesday Thursday, Saturday and Sunday's, offering single and group walks. In the near future I am planning on making dog walking my full time job.

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.
About: I’m a Bioscience & Zoology student at UWS. I’ve grown up with dogs, rabbits, guinea pigs and fish since I was around 8, I have cared for a critically ill dogs, an extremely anxious rescue, I have also trained and hand reared pups. I also have experience with horses and cats although I have never personally owned them. I work part-time at a vet clinic so I have experience with multiple dog and cat breeds. As a zoology student I am happy to care for other species (reptiles, birds, fish etc) if needed!!🐾 ‼️AVAILABILITY‼️ Mondays & Fridays - 6:30pm-10pm Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday/Saturday/Sunday - All Day Facebook: Kirsty’s Waggy Walks I am looking to build relationships with clients and their pets through repeat bookings and weekly scheduling!🐾 I require a few days notice for your pet to ensure I can meet their needs, if you are looking for weekly care this can be discussed and schedule times can be altered weekly to fit yours and my schedule!🐾 I offer evenings and weekends as well so if you are off to dinner or a concert your pet doesn’t have to be alone🐾 ❗️I am open to pets with behavioural problems as long as we meet beforehand and your pet is comfortable with me❗️ I have studied animal behaviour at university, if your pet is feeling nervous, stressed or aggressive I will do my best to remove them from the situation or to reassure and comfort them🐾 If you are a repeat client I can adjust my care based on how well your pet responds, if they are happier at the beach than the park then beach walks will be more frequent🐾 I give constant updates when in charge of your pet as can be seen on my reviews, if you have any concerns or worries I’m just a text or phone call away!🐾
About: Since I was 12, dogs have been my constant companions. Currently, Winston, an adorable French Bulldog, keeps me busy and provides plenty of laughs daily. He is my best friend. I'm all about giving pups the love and care they deserve—after all, it's the best way to spend the day! I work from home and only leave the house for an hour and a half to go to the gym - otherwise I am always available to look after the dogs and take them for a walk whenever is required. I have a fenced garden but also pay close attention if the dogs are playing safely, keeping an eye on whether they are ok. I do work from home so have flexibility to always take breaks when needed and check up on them.
“We had a fantastic experience with Rebecca. For four days, she dropped by to check on our cat, Lila, and walk our dog, Mia. Rebecca was incredibly professional, always on time, and communicated well about her visits. We highly recommend Rebecca for anyone needing a reliable and caring pet sitter.”
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: 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’ve managed a cattery, looked after my own beloved dogs and cats, and 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 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’ve always looked after dog and enjoyed it. As I work shifts I can’t get my own so I want to look after other people’s. I work shifts with the Nhs and will only look after dogs when I am off on a/l or have a good run of days off will never watch a dog if I’m working. Just myself and son in house he’s 16. I have a back garden with a fence and gate. Will always supervise pets when outside. Will care for dog to the standard of owner and will treat them well.
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: 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 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 grown up with both dogs and cats, from playful pups to independent kitties, and have always loved caring for them. I bring experience, patience, and genuine affection to every pet I look after, treating them like family. I really love caring for dogs and cats and can work around my schedule to give them the attention they need. I’m gaining experience to eventually start my own dog-walking business, providing love, companionship, and reliable care along the way. I have a front and back door, main door flat. Both front and back garden are fenced off and safe for animals to roam freely and play.

“First class, first time Phoebe was left overnight with someone not in her own house. I was updated often with images and how she was doing. I was anxious at first but I soon realised she was happy and showered with attention, just as I had hoped for. Phoebe has come home and slept all day. That’s a great sign!! Looking forward to many more visits x”

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.”

“Sara was a wonderful host for my dog Frisa for a few days while I visited Glasgow for a hospital procedure. Sara had a strong intuitive grasp of Frisa's needs and wants. Sara's descriptions and photos sent to me during Frisa's time with Sara matched my own experiences of Frisa's behaviour when engaged and contented. Frisa is a medium sized, but strong, dog and Sara paid careful attention to the advice that we gave her about handling Frisa on walks. I thoroughly recommend Sara.”
