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.

“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.

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.
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
“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”

About: AWAY UNTIL AUGUST DUE TO RELOCATION TO SCOTLAND Hello! I’m Satine! I’m a cat lover through and through - no matter what kind or breed. I’ve had pets in my home my entire life - both dogs and cats! Even in my childhood I loved to care and look after any animal I laid eyes on. I currently have two cats, Kaito (ragdoll) and Eevee (half bengal), both with very different personalities and quirks that I love to see. I plan to own even more cats when I’m able, as they’re truly one of life’s greatest joys to me. They brighten up a home and I adore to watch them grow and enjoy life. I also have experience in taking care of kittens and puppies, so if your baby is very young, I’m willing to taken them on and make sure they’re carefully looked after! I am starting college to study childcare and have worked with children as a Nursery Apprentice previously - which is a role I’m very passionate in as I also love taking care of children. My experience often overlaps with these two practices as animals and children both require a lot of careful care and nurturing. I’d love to take care of your babies for however long need be, and rest assured they will be in safe, capable hands.
About: I’m a semi retired, experienced dog owner of 42 years, with an abundance of time and energy to spend with your beloved pet. Having raised and loved many pets from young to old, I am confident that I can take the very best care of all your pets needs, at any time of the day or night, and at short notice. Walking, boarding, checking or sitting, I’m available so that you can relax in knowing your pet is well taken care of. I’ve recently bought a home that I will be renovating myself, and so I’m very available and my time is totally flexible. I will work my projects around your needs. I am happy to have pets stay with me, and at any point my renovation work can’t be isolated safely, away from your pet, I will advise. I’m also very happy to stay in your home.
“Emma looked after my cat, Gus, and I couldn’t be happier with the care she provided. She kept me updated throughout with regular messages and photos, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that Gus was very well looked after and received lots of attention and care. I came home to a happy, relaxed cat, which says it all! I would highly recommend Emma to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”
“Tayler looked after our cat while we were away and was completely brilliant, it wasn't a straightforward feed and go situation but nothing was too much trouble and the daily updates put my mind at ease. I can't recommend her enough.”
“Zachary was really good in communicating and finding out all about what my two dogs needed. They seemed very comfortable and happy with Zach and i would be happy to recommend them and book with them again.”
About: I have two cats of my own, both who were rescues from cat protection. Phoebe, my oldest girl, came to me very shy and timid, having experienced a lot of trauma. Shes now thriving in our home and is the boss of the house. Louie, my youngest, was rescued from a house of 11 cats and I was able to give him a quieter, calmer way of life. They are both spoiled rotten and are living the high life.

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: 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. 🐾💜
“Taya was absolutely fantastic and really helped me out with poppy. At extremely last minute when I was let down by a friend going away, I was in panic mode as poppy was suffering with a really bad painful ear infection and really needed medication over the period I was away. Taya got back to me really quickly and nothing at all was a problem for her. I was really happy that she was able to meet poppy before I went away and Taya definately went above and beyond doing extra when she didn't need to. I felt so happy and comfortable knowing that I could go away and Taya was confident giving poppy her oral medication and ear drops. The update and photos of poppy looking extremely happy was excellent. Such a great experience and I would highly recommend Taya for anyone's pet going away and would definately use Taya in the future, thank you so much for everything poppy had a great time!”

About: Hi I’m new to Rover but have over 20 years experience of looking after my own and clients’ dogs. I will treat your dogs just like my own, ensuring they receive unique and appropriate care whilst they are with me. I appreciate all dogs are so different and will go the extra mile to make them feel safe in my home. Having had many dogs into old age, senior dogs are perhaps a speciality of mine. I am unphased by larger breeds as I currently have a Romanian shepherd dog aged 1. She is very friendly and loves the company of other dogs. I live 5 minutes walk from the beach at Greenan Shore and just a 5 minute drive to the two beautiful local parks. The safety of your pets is paramount, I will only walk off lead with your written permission. As I have a 10 year old son, I can only take pets who are completely safe with children. My son also knows not to over pet a dog and respect space having had a very tricky rescue dog of our own in the past for many years. I am fully insured by Cliverton Pet Insurance. I work mainly from home so your pets will not be left unattended for more than 3 hours. If you have specific requests I will discuss these fully with you. I have an enclosed, private fenced garden. There is also plenty of room in the house for your pet to roam around freely. I live in a quiet, safe neighbourhood.

About: I started as a child rescuing strays and have rescued many since, I am a stay at home mother to an eleven year old daughter. We have 2 labs at present our old girl (whisper 14yrs)and her grandaughter(princess 1yr old) I literally dedicate my life to my family and pets, I pet sit regularly for friends and family so thought this would be perfect for me. Especially as we live in a small village and have a large fenced in garden. I walk my dogs every day long walks up the woods or sometimes down the local beach, as my daughters at school all day. Its a non smoking household, and i love pampering my pooches both of which are well socialised and love other dogs. I dont work outwith the home, so most of my time is dedicated to looking after my home, family and my dogs. I have always took rescue dogs. Until recently that is. As whisper was an ex breeding bitch that we took in, in order to give her the later yrs she deserved. But when we realised what an amazing dog she was, aswel as her outstanding pedigree, i decided to buy 1 of her daughters "autumn" pups ( as i know these breeders very well. I bought her in order to start breeding since i am at home all the time now. And since i have a few friends that already breed, i have plenty of people to rely on for advice. But "princess is only a yr old so i dont intend to breed her for another yr anyway. Hence why i decided to try this out. It just feels like the ideal job for me. I have a large fenced in garden. My dog "princess " is a very high energy and sometimes overly friendly especially when she first meets anyone and even more so when meeting other dogs. However she is very clever and well behaved and absolutely loves the company of other dogs. As we always had more than 1 dog aswell as regular dogs who boarded with us. But our 2 older dogs passed away and due to an unfortunate incident with 1 of our regular dogs who was older and had an undiagnosed underlying issue took a turn for the worst while in my care, traumatised me to a point that I actually stopped and am only just getting back to it now. Dont get me wrong we managed to get him to the vet in time and he survived infact the vet said we actually saved his life by not hesitating and rushing him there at 4am but it was extremely hard so that's why I am only just getting back into it. As we really miss having all the dogs around but we're not ready to get ourselves another one yet. Princess is very well socialised andlovesthecompany of other dog's butis unnuetered as we intend on having a litter from her. So can'ttakeun unnueteredmales forobviousreasons, i also have all the necessary crates,leads etc etc in order to care for dogs of all shapes and sizes. I am also learning how to groom dogs and have most of the equipment so love to practice on my clients dogs if they don't mind. I am a stay at home mother to my 13yr yr old daughter who is also an avid dog lover and one day hopes to become a vet. My life is devoted to my family and my dogs and any dogs that board with us are treated and classed as family. I walk my dogs every day,usually at least twice a day and having patio doors that lead straight out into my garden is ideal, as i tend to leave it open for the dogs to come in n out as they please. And no matter what i am doing, i am able to keep an eye on them at all timesandwe also have a 6foot fence all roundthe garden so it's very secure., The village i live in is surrounded by fields and wooded areas so i can allow my dogs to safely run and play off lead too,aswell as being very close to the beach where I often walk my dogs however i never take risks lettimg other people's dogs off lead unless its in a safe and secure place and I have cleared it with the dogs owner, and i do have long extending leads too. So no matter how well your dog is or isnt off lead they will still be able to join in the long leisurely walks and all the fun that entails.
“Skye had another marvellous day with Ching. What I truly appreciate is that Ching gives the doggies that she cares for her full attention, she's with them constantly interacting with them. Skye's confidence with other dogs has sky rocketed in Ching's care, without a doubt she is amazing.”

About: Having grown up on a farm, I'm lucky enough to have looked after animals of all shapes and sizes. In addition to my own lovely old Jack Russell I have a small holding which has approx 20 acres of deer fenced land where dogs can scamper about with out worry of getting out. I am dog first aid qualified, fully licenced and insured and here waiting for your dog to join us for their holiday while you enjoy yours! I work part time so only board dogs when I am off and free to give them plenty of walks and attention! When I'm home , I'm always out and about either walking my own dog or up at the fields tending to my other animals. I'm very flexible and easy going when it comes to caring for your dog. Furniture, beds, or crates...whatever they are used to they will get. All I ask in return is a house trained, fully vaccinated friendly dog who will be happy to share our space and get along with my very friendly old Jack Russell. Prior to overnight visits we do require a trial session, either a day or overnight stay to ensure your dog is going to be happy and settled with us.

About: I grew up with cats and dogs, and have had cats and dogs as an adult, including elderly and those with health issues. I am happy to tailor my care to your pet's routines. I am on unpaid leave from the Civil Service, writing and studying. I am home-based. I don't have any pets living with me at the moment, therefore I can adjust my routines to suit your pet's needs. I live in a bungalow in a quiet street, with countryside out the back. I have a fenced garden. I can walk dogs up to 3 times per day. I can let outdoor cats come and go as they wish.

“Couldn’t be happier with Grant! Before his first walk with our dog, Rex, he took the time to meet with us in his own time to make sure we and Rex were comfortable, which we really appreciated. Rex can be a little reactive at times but Grant handled him perfectly. It was clear from the start he was confident, experienced and understood how to manage him in a calm positive way. After the walk we were updated with photos and how it went which gives us a piece of mind. We would highly recommend Grant to anyone looking for a caring, professional dog walker!”
“Claire was great. Met Rudy beforehand, maintained good contact and kept me updated about Rudy's walk. They went to the beach which is his favourite place. Would highly recommend Claire and would be delighted for her to care for Rudy again.”
“Tayler is an absolute dream! She looked after my wee Yorkie on my wedding day coming to get him from the venue and walking him and checking in on him every couple of hours. She was perfect all day and did not try to contact us at all unless we contacted her for pictures, so as not to “annoy” us on our big day. I must have messaged her a million times before the day and she got back to be everytime. Nothing was ever a bother. I would never use anyone else”
About: Hi, I’m Zach! I’ve been working professionally in animal care for over 10 years, and I’m lucky enough to say my career and my passions are one and the same. I have a Master’s Degree in Animal Behavior and have spent a decade in the field—from teaching animal care to my recent work in Vet Education with Pets at Home. I’m currently "pet parent" to a Poochon named Titan, a cat named Sage, and a snake—very imaginatively named Snakey. Over the years, I’ve cared for everything from birds and reptiles to dogs and small mammals, so I’m comfortable with pets of all shapes and sizes. My expertise: Behavioral Insight: Because of my background in behavior, I’m experienced in monitoring body language. I can usually spot if a pet is feeling "off" or stressed well before it becomes a problem. Qualified Care: I’m a Pet First Aid trainer, so if an emergency ever does crop up, I have the professional training to handle it calmly and effectively. All-Day Company: Since I work from home, I’m around throughout the day to keep your pets happy, entertained, and well-supervised. I’d love to provide your pets with expert care and plenty of attention while you’re away. Looking forward to meeting you and your team! Working remotely gives me total flexibility. I can be at your door at the drop of a hat, providing professional care whenever your pet needs it. As a former teacher and current professional educator, I bring a high level of professional integrity, safety, and genuine care to every pet and home.
About: Growing up I have always been surrounded with dogs and other animals and have absolutely loved taking care of them . Unfortunately now due to my job as Cabin crew I’m unable to have a dog of my own full time as it’s not fair to a dog to be out the country as much as I am. That is why I would really love to help take care your pets in my free time from work which is very flexible month to month ! Whether that be dog walking or house sitting I can’t fit in with the best needs of you and your fluffy loved ones. With my schedule at work I have a lot of free days through the month . And I will update my calendar on here regularly so that you are always aware of my availability. I’m more than happy to fit around your dogs needs and wants with regards to outside walks and house sits which we can discuss when booking.
About: Hi I’m new to Rover but have over 20 years experience of looking after my own and clients’ dogs. I will treat your dogs just like my own, ensuring they receive unique and appropriate care whilst they are with me. I appreciate all dogs are so different and will go the extra mile to make them feel safe in my home. Having had many dogs into old age, senior dogs are perhaps a speciality of mine. I am unphased by larger breeds as I currently have a Romanian shepherd dog aged 1. She is very friendly and loves the company of other dogs. I live 5 minutes walk from the beach at Greenan Shore and just a 5 minute drive to the two beautiful local parks. The safety of your pets is paramount, I will only walk off lead with your written permission. As I have a 10 year old son, I can only take pets who are completely safe with children. My son also knows not to over pet a dog and respect space having had a very tricky rescue dog of our own in the past for many years. I am fully insured by Cliverton Pet Insurance. I work mainly from home so your pets will not be left unattended for more than 3 hours. If you have specific requests I will discuss these fully with you. I have an enclosed, private fenced garden. There is also plenty of room in the house for your pet to roam around freely. I live in a quiet, safe neighbourhood.

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’m new to Rover as a sitter, but I’m really excited to start taking care of people’s pets. I’ve looked after animals since I was young and began pet sitting for family and friends when I was around 12. Over the years I’ve gained experience with walking, feeding, bathing, and keeping pets’ spaces clean. I’m confident with animals of all sizes and temperaments. I’ve cared for everything from gentle Great Danes to tiny snakes, so I’m not easily intimidated. I genuinely love working with animals and I’m looking forward to meeting new pets and their people. I’m currently in my off-season from work, so I’m completely free and flexible until February. Pet care fits easily into my routine because I spend my time playing rugby, seeing family and friends, and working on personal skills, so I have plenty of availability throughout the week. Since my schedule is wide open, I can offer reliable care, regular check-ins, and lots of attention for your pets whenever you need it. When I’m caring for pets in someone’s home, I focus on keeping their routine consistent and their environment safe. I always follow any instructions you leave, including feeding times, walk schedules, and any house rules your pet is used to. I make sure doors and gates are secure, keep an eye on anything they might get into, and give them plenty of attention so they feel relaxed while you’re away. I’m clean, respectful of your space, and make sure everything is left as I found it. I also send regular updates and photos so you know your pet is happy and in good hands.

I’ve managed a cattery, looked after my own beloved dogs and cats, and regularly cared for pets belonging to friends and family.

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 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.

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.
“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”
“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
“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!”
