“Wow! Could not be more grateful impressed or recommend more highly! Kim and her husband Ali took the very best care of my nervous pup and treated her to so much love attention and adventures. They took her to a specialist dog park and were playing and chasing with her going above and beyond! I made the booking with a few hours notice for an overnight stay and Kim was so kind and gracious about every step, very understanding and sent loads of updates. Roxy was spoilt with cuddles affection and attention and had the best sleepover party ever - thank you both I feel so lucky to have found you!”
“A superb, reliable and really friendly person to look after your dog. We've used Kaelan a few times now and trust him completely to look after our dog. He communicates excellently which is also incredibly reassuring”
“We couldn’t have asked for better people to look after our dog. From the start, they were kind, reliable, and clearly cared deeply about making sure our dog felt comfortable and happy. We received regular updates, photos, and messages, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It was obvious our dog was treated like part of the family — well looked after, exercised, and given lots of attention and affection. We came home to a relaxed and happy dog, which says everything. We’re incredibly grateful for the care and love they showed and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy and caring dog sitters.”
“Orla and Aine were fantastic sitters for Luna, I can tell that she had such a good time. We met for a meet and greet before her stay so they could get a quick introduction and they made sure to follow Luna’s routine as closely as possible to make her stay comfortable for her. They asked plenty of questions to get things right for Luna and took her to her favourite places for her walks. I would definitely book with them again and recommend to anyone looking for reliable dog sitters!”
“Looked after our dog for 14 days and was great at communicating and flexible when our flights were delayed and keeping Patch for extra time. Recommend and would use again.”
“Keira had a wonderful stay with Kwai and family. She was very well looked after and enjoyed having a wee friend, Sally the Bijon Frisé, to play with. Communication was excellent from start to finish, and we received daily updates and photos that were very reassuring. On top of that, the whole family are lovely and really went out their way to make sure Keira's stay would be as good as possible. She's already booked in for a return visit!”
“Helena looked after my little Chihuahua Poppy for a second time and again I am really pleased with how well the boarding went. Poppy is elderly and Helena and her family take great care of her and give her lots of attention, love and cuddles meaning that I can relax on holiday knowing that Poppy is very happy. Helena is such a lovely kind person and Poppy was happy to see her when I dropped her off, that says it all! I would definitely recommend Helena as a sitter and would have no hesitation in leaving Poppy with her again.”
“I’m so happy with the service provided by Julie. Zico is a puppy so needed structure and his training reinforced every day, which she happily did. They have a beautiful home and large secure garden and I received daily pictures, videos and updates which put me at ease. Already looking up re-book for summer holidays!”
“It was a really wonderful stay for my wee dog, Benjy, with Mark. I was very reassured throughout as I received regular updates and photos. Initially, I was worried about leaving him for a week, but Mark and his lovely wife were extremely kind and reassuring. Benjy had a lovely time there. We are already looking forward to his next one-week stay in June again!”
“Declan took great care of Ralph along with his wife and daughters. Ralph settled in well and communication before Ralph’s stay and during was great. Thanks again 🐾”
“Fester had a lovely stay with Adele, she took exceptional care of him and accepted all of his special quirks and needs. As an older dog he is quite particular and she accommodated everything perfectly. Fester came home happy, bouncy and rested - we will definitely be using Adele again for Fester sitting!”
“Anna looked after our black lab pup for one night. We were a bit apprehensive leaving him being only 6 months but Anna was great. Updated us throughout the night and bear the following morning seemed very happy! Would definitely recommend Anna and we would absolutely use here again in the future. Thanks Anna”
“Audrey took care of my dog Marley for a week while I was on holiday , Marley was well looked after and Audrey kept me upto date with what marley had been up to and pictures highly recommend. Thanks again 🥰”
“Michelle looked after our Lhasa Apso, Benji for 3 weeks whilst we were on our honeymoon . We’ve never left him for that long before and we were nervous to say the least. From the moment we started speaking to Michelle, before drop off, Michelle was so lovely. Benji was very well looked after and this made us feel a lot better. we received lots of updates throughout his stay, which relaxed us more…We won’t hesitate to book Michelle again, highly recommend!”
“First time using Rover and couldn't be any more pleased with Alice. We did the meet and greet beforehand then dropped Jock off for his short stay. Alice sent photos and updates showing he'd settled in and was happy. Would definitely use Alice's services again. She has a secure garden, 2m fence all around which was important for us too. Thank you Alice and Miguel from Jock and us ❤️”
“Would highly recommend Zoe, she had our frankie boy for 3 nights and kept us updated on how he was with pictures and videos, this was ideal as it was the first he had stayed with someone outside the family.”
About: I studied animal care and received an HNC, I have experience looking after different breeds which have different needs from young puppies to senior dogs I love looking after them all equally, giving them any medication they may he on is no problem and having experience with nervous and dog aggressive dogs I'm more than comfortable with. I'm not currently working at the moment and I hope to be looking after animals full time so that means I will be there for the animals 24/7. I will be with your pets for the entirety of my time with them keeping them company and giving plenty love and attention, I don't have a garden but have a huge park right outside my flat they they will have plenty long walks around.
“Skye had a fantastic time with Milena and was very well looked after. She can be quite timid at times and Milena took her time to let Skye get to know her and the area without pushing her too soon. She was very patient with her and let her settle in. I wouldn't hesitate to leave Skye with Milena again - in fact, I'm about to go and check her availability for a weekend in a few weeks.”
“Dane was absolutely amazing with Harper! She’s quite clingy and needy especially right now with her injury, but Dane handled her needs perfectly. He was so attentive with her medicine and kept us updated which really put our minds at ease. Also, it was such a kind touch that Dane cleaned all of Harper’s bowls and containers! ☺️✨ We ended up needing to extend her stay to finish some errands and Dane was so flexible and understanding about it. He’s incredibly reliable and thoughtful, we can’t thank him enough! 👏🏼✨🙏🏼”

“Would highly recommend , Pauline went above and beyond to look after our cat. Provided good updates and ‘kind off’ won our stubborn cat around ! She was careful to listen to our instructions regarding our cats care and was friendly and professional. Would definitely use Pauline’s services again and recommend!”
“Cloe was great and I would highly recommend! Her communication with me was brilliant and helped both me and blaze feel better about our time apart, I definitely came home to a much happier kitty than when I’ve had her in catterys previously. I will be booking Cloe for future sitting.”
“There is no praise high enough to give Rachel. She visited first so our 2 girl Ragdolls could meet her and they took to her straight away. This surprised us as our 1 year old is very timed and is hard to bring round. Chiko was taking treats from her within minutes. Our 8 month old Tiana was lying like a baby in Rachel's arms in no time. Rachel sent photos and videos every day and gave us updates which we were desperate for as it was our first time leaving them. She made sure to put us at ease by keeping in touch and answering our messages quickly. We found Rachel to be organised, professional, reliable, friendly and easy to interact with. The most important thing is our cats loved her and were happy to be with her and play. Rachel has exceeded our expectations and we highly recommend her. We will definitely be asking Rachel to look after Chiko & Tiana whenever we're away.”
“Charlotte looked after Blue again while I was away for Christmas and as usual took great care of him and cleaned up the mess he made when he knocked a plant down the stairs so I didn't have to deal with that when I got home. It's nice to be able to go away for a few days and not worry about the cat or what mischief he's caused because I can trust Charlotte to take care of it.”
About: ** new here, happy to do a meet beforehand or alternatively please reach out message or phone call** I’ve had to take care of 2 cats in my lifetime (Robbie and Mac) both were lovely little boys. I had both of them for for years but Robbie passed away at age 18 and Mac was 20. I’ve also cat sitted for many of my friends when they have went out on holiday. I worked at a veterinary practice when I was at school as an assistant and also volunteered at the dog and cat home in Bothwell. I’m used to being around animals and although I can’t have one of my own as a I life alone and work mon-Thurs long days it isn’t feasible for me. That’s why I would love to do rover and look after your fur babies. I would also taking any requests that are longer if given notice.
About: Hi, I’m Jess, a warm and caring cat lover with lifelong experience. I have 3 cats of my own, Cole, Jones and Otis. I can give medications if your fur baby requires. I also have experience caring for senior cats, our very own Molly got to the fantastic age of 21. I love relaxing and playing with cats and making them feel safe and happy.
“Roisin and Edward have been fantastic! We organised a drop in with Fergus and we received great info/pictures and felt very confident in them. Would highly recommend and would use again!”
“Olivia followed instructions amazing and took care of our precious cat Willow. Olivia changed times to suit the cat and even thought to leave food out! when she wouldn’t return one day! (Totally normal for cats in summer) I would recommend Olivia in future and would definitely use her services again.”
“Mollie-Mae looked after our cat for about a month while we were away and we couldn't be happier with her care. She made sure to send me updates and photos during each visit and was very patient with all my questions and concerns. Planning vacations will be a lot easier knowing Mollie will be checking in :)”
“I booked with Jennifer as a last minute request as I couldn’t find anyone to check my gerbils during the Christmas period. Jennifer was not only able to accommodate to this, but was super professional and made sure I could leave at easy, being super nervous about leaving my girls alone for the first time. I would definitely recommend her and Susan and Roberta will be happy to be looked after by her again.”
About: When I'm not looking after animals, you'll usually find me outdoors — I'm currently 120 Munros into all 282, and I love hiking, travelling, and both indoor and outdoor bouldering whenever I get the chance. I grew up in the north of Scotland, mostly in Shetland and Scourie, and I've spent a lot of time travelling and house sitting in those areas too, so I'm very comfortable in remote or rural settings as well as busier towns and cities. Cats have been part of my life since I was a kid, and I've had a real soft spot for them ever since. I've been pet sitting for over 16 years now, both here in the UK and while travelling around Europe and Asia, and animals have been part of every adventure along the way. At home, I've got two dogs and three cats keeping me busy (and very loved). Over the years I've looked after cats with all sorts of personalities — some cuddly and affectionate, others independent and a bit more reserved, and I know every cat needs a slightly different approach. I've had a few cats of my own too, all rescues, including a black cat, a tabby, and a ginger cat, so I understand the extra patience rescue cats sometimes need to settle in and trust someone new. I've also worked with a wide range of breeds, including Siamese, Vietnamese, British Shorthair, Bengal, Siberian, Ragamuffin, Himalayan, and Birman cats, among others — so whatever breed your cat is, chances are I've spent time with one just like them. Combined with my 16+ years of pet sitting across the UK, Europe, and Asia, and experience looking after both single cats and multi-cat households, I bring a lot of hands-on knowledge to keeping your cat happy, comfortable, and stress-free while you're away. Honestly, what I love most is getting to know each animal's own personality — because just like people, no two are ever the same! I take the time to understand them, play with them, and learn something new every single day. If you're looking for someone who'll genuinely care for your cat like their own, I'd love to meet them!

“Harley had an amazing time. He is normally very nervous around strangers especially men but he was very comfortable with Allan. I got lots of updates throughout the day with great photos! Harley came home happy and tired from all his walks. Harley will definitely be visiting Allan again.”
“Alex is just fantastic, our rescue dog has so many issues we've really struggled to find someone to look after him. Alex is happy to work with us to ensure Luath is comfortable and happy.”
“Dionne was amazing! Thank you so much for looking after Norman and Klaus for the day, while we attended a funeral. They were both so settled and seem to have had a lovely time 🫶 Dionne kept us updated with messages and pictures all day, which was amazing peace of mind for us on a stressful day - thank you so much again xxx”
About: Hey, I’m Kayleigh 👋🏻 I’ve always had dogs, since I was a kid. We sadly lost our gorgeous 10yo collie, Rosie, last year and I really miss having a dog in my life. I especially love active breeds, but to be honest I adore all dogs. I work freelance from my home studio, so my days are flexible and I’d love the excuse to get outside and get my steps in with some four-legged company. Because I work from home, I’m available for walks most days (apart from Thursdays). During term time I can be quite flexible, while school holidays are a little busier for me. In general, I’m available for walks between 10am and 2pm, as well as early evenings, but feel free to get in touch if you’re looking for times out with that. I offer doggy day care on Wednesdays. I have a large, fully fenced garden. When we’re out, I’ll always follow your instructions and stick to your dog’s normal routine, including keeping them on a lead if that’s what you’d like. I also only walk one dog at a time, unless they’re from the same household, so your dog will always have my full attention.
About: I have had two dogs Stella and Shane i also had multiple fish that i called Stella because of how much i loved my dog i also had a cat called peaches i named after princess peach from mario ! i board up to 3 dogs at a time so please let me know when u book if you would like it to only be your dog so i know not to accept a request from someone else 😊 My house always has someone home to look after your dog and take them out for walks or pee breaks, i am pretty much always home tho I have a fenced back garden that is massive so lots of space to run around in and i love going on walks so your dog will be walked however much they are needed
About: Individual Attention: "I believe every dog is unique. I'll tailor my care to your dog's specific needs and preferences." I will let you know anytime how your dog is and send you videos and photos. I'm working 2 days a week. I have plenty of time to be with your dog and give him all the care he needs. Your pet will be well stimulated on those walks with games and treats. Our garden is safe. It is fenced of and locked. I prefere to take doggies for a walk before sending them to the garden. But the garden is safe.
“Yun and her family were amazing with the boys. Accommodating with our timings for the day, clear and speedy communication and kept us up to date during the stay. We would highly recommend and use again. The boys had a great time. Thanks Robert”
“Suzi loves staying with Alice - she has a great time and is very well looked after. Alice is brilliant with her and just loves dogs. Suzi and I couldn’t be happier - great service and peace of mind.”
About: I’m a proud dog mum to Rosie, my friendly 3-year-old Cavapoo, who loves the company of other dogs and gets along well with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I regularly care for dogs in my home and understand how important it is to provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment while owners are away. I have a spacious three-bedroom home with a secure, fully fenced garden, as well as plenty of beautiful local walks nearby to keep your dog happy, active, and well cared for. Your dog will be treated as part of the family and receive lots of attention, affection, and exercise during their stay. Dogs are allowed on all furniture and we have no children in our home. It tends to just be myself at home as my partner works offshore. Dog care fits naturally into my daily routine as I work from home full-time and manage my own diary, which gives me plenty of flexibility to provide attention, companionship, walks, and toilet breaks throughout the day. My partner works away regularly, so it’s usually just me and my friendly Cavapoo, Rosie, at home. Rosie loves having canine company and enjoys playing in our secure garden as well as exploring the many lovely local walks nearby. This means your dog will never be left alone and will be treated as part of our family during their stay I have a secure, fully fenced garden and a very dog-friendly home where dogs can relax, play, and feel comfortable. I have experience caring for puppies as young as 14 weeks old, as well as adult dogs of different breeds and personalities. My home is calm, safe, and welcoming, with no children or other pets apart from my Cavapoo Rosie. I always aim to provide a loving environment where dogs feel settled, secure, and part of the family.
“Orla and Aine were fantastic with our little border terrier, they really took the time to listen and learn about his needs and he absolutely loved his stay there... every time we walk past the flat he is pulling to go in!! Highly recommend”
“Very happy with the service provided by Kwai. Our dog Charlie was exhausted by the time we got him home, a clear sign of a fun filled day. Would recommend and will likely book again.”
“Nabila was friendly and helpful towards me, and kind and understanding towards my dog, Bran, a rescue who can struggle at times from being separated from me. Nabila's communication was good and she sent photos and updates on how Bran was doing. I'd definitely use her again!”
About: I’ve spent the last ten years caring for dogs of all ages, personalities and needs. I grew up with both dogs and cats, so looking after animals has always been a natural part of my life. I also have two dogs of my own, which means I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust completely with your pets. I offer boarding in a calm home environment and I only take one guest dog at a time (or multiple dogs from the same household). This allows me to give each dog plenty of attention and helps them settle in comfortably. I work from home, so dogs are rarely left alone and can enjoy a relaxed daily routine with walks, rest and company throughout the day. I have hands-on experience with rescue dogs and nervous pups, and I’m patient, calm and confident when helping them feel safe and comfortable. I’m happy working with puppies who need extra structure and consistency, as well as senior dogs who may need a gentler pace and more attentive care. My goal is always to make your pet feel loved, secure and understood while keeping you updated so you can relax knowing they are in good hands. If you are booking with Rover for the first time you can use my promo code ........ for £15 off your first booking! Pet care is a big part of my everyday life. I’m a full time dog walker and sitter, and I’m also a stay at home dad, so I spend most of my day at home and out on walks. This gives me plenty of time to focus on each dog’s needs, whether that’s exercise, company or a calm, steady presence. My schedule is flexible and centred around the pets I look after, which means I’m able to give them consistent attention and keep their routines as close as possible to what they’re used to. I offer dog walking and pet sitting or boarding in my home. When a dog stays with me, I focus on keeping their routine as familiar and comfortable as possible. I have a large fenced garden where dogs can play, explore and relax safely throughout the day. Crate trained dogs are welcome, but it’s not a requirement. I’m always happy to follow the owner’s instructions so their dog feels secure, relaxed and settled. Whether it’s sticking to feeding times, keeping up with training or providing a quiet space to unwind, I make sure each dog gets the care and attention they need while they’re with me.
About: I have lots of experience dog sitting many types of breeds of all shapes and sizes! I board and dog sit frequently for friends and family and have growing experience with lovely Rover clients. I also have vast hands-on experience caring for my own much-loved dachshund, Nelly, who has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and understanding each dog’s individual personality and needs! Raising her has given me practical experience with daily care, exercise, feeding routines, and providing a safe, loving environment for my girl! I have a genuine passion for dogs and enjoy spending time outdoors, nature walks and exploring new places together. I’m also happy taking dogs on safe car journeys when needed. My priority is ensuring every dog in my care feels happy, comfortable, and treated as if they were part of my own family. I understand that every dog deserves plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and companionship while their owners are away just as I like whilst I am away. My dachshund will be present unless specifically requested for during booking but she is friendly and loves to play. I have experience in issuing daily medication and monitoring dogs behaviour, diet and intake. I encourage owners to bring their dog beds for comfort during sitting in my home but dogs are all welcome on our sofas with lots of cuddles 🛋️🛌🐾 I am a current primary teacher in Glasgow. During my school holidays I love to dog-board, sit and walk! I love all things animals and walking. I treat dogs as my own, and a part of our family. I have a friendly and welcoming mini dachshund at home in our flat and a garden downstairs. All dogs welcome in our home - even on our sofa! If you are looking someone trustworthy and caring for your little one, please reach out!

“We were very happy with the service Jennifer provided. Archie was walked, fed and watered. Jennifer communicated very well with us, she was very reliable and reassured us with all the pics of Archie which she sent us. We would not hesitate to use Jennifer again. Mary Anne”
About: I have an Australian Shepherd who is almost 2 years but is reactive, due to being a supply teacher my flexible schedule has allowed me to do daily training with him to allow him to become the best dog possible! I have a lot of patience through the experience with my dog but also due to my career. I am flexible, friendly and happy to help you with all of your dog walking needs! With my own dog, we frequently walk around large lochs, lakes and hills, as well as carrying out training sessions in City Centres, Towns and Markets. I am NOT a professional dog walker or trainer but have a lot of experience due to my own dog’s needs. The school year is about to come to an end so I will be even more flexible. As a supply teacher, I can take shifts as and when I need them or when the council requires. At times I am given long-term and full-time contracts so my availability may be less during peak times of the school year (the beginning of the academic year, exam times etc), I am aware of shifts usually a week in advance and will notify you of this also! I hate being unorganised and will happily keep customers updated of my working situation to help accommodate them and their pets needs’. Our 2 year old Australian Shepherd is crate trained and is reactive to other dogs, he isn’t aggressive but overly playful. Due to this, I cannot accept other dogs into my home at the moment and I would not walk your pets with mine for safety reasons. However, I am willing to walk two dogs together, especially if they are related or live together. Depending on circumstances, I am happy to board in others’ houses depending on the relationships built! We have a camera set up for our dog and I wouldn’t mind if other owners do this too! I am easy to communicate with and contact, I understand what it is like to trust your pet with someone else and I’m more than happy to send you updates with pictures and videos of your pets on our walks!

“My little doggy absolutely loved Maia. She was such a great help as I needed to book last minute and it was no problem. She was so friendly, communicative, and kept me updated the whole time with photos and videos which I really appreciated. It was so nice seeing how happy my dog was while out on the walk. My dog also made a new friend with Maia’s dog which was adorable, and it’s clear he absolutely loved Maia. I felt completely comfortable knowing he was in such good hands. I’ll definitely be booking with Maia again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog walker!🩷🩷🩷”

Dogs have been at the centre of my world for years, and now caring for them is what I do full-time.🐶💖 I'm a very friendly, loving and caring person. I love to uplift people who are around me, as it makes me happy seeing others happy and seeing the passion that comes out of people when you support them in doing what they love. - I love animals too, Especially dogs! Dogs hold a special place in my heart, they are such wonderfully social creatures, and I adore getting to know all their unique personalities. I pride myself on creating a safe, loving experience where your pup feels supported, comfortable, and truly cared for. Whether it’s walks, play, or just being a calm, reassuring presence, I’m dedicated to making your dog’s time with me as happy as possible. I don't have a dog of my own, but I'd absolutely be honoured to take your dog out on one of my walking adventures or have them stay over, for as long as you'd like. Just let me know which service you'd like, and I'll most likely be available to help you. -------------------------------------- 💖 A personal note: On my profile, you’ll see photos of two very special boys — Star (The whippet) and McCoy (The Lhasa apso) — Who both hold a permanent place in my heart. 🌟 Star was a very happy whippet and my very first Rover booking. We became best friends instantly, and I was lucky enough to see him regularly. Always asking for sausages (even after I’d already given him two!), he brought so much joy to our walks, occasional playful moments, and cuddle sessions. Star didn’t play much, being an older boy, but every moment with him was special — from him running up the stairs to greet me, to his sweet little whippet face. He passed away on 03/08/23 at 5:00 pm, and although my heart broke hearing the news, I’m forever grateful for the bond we shared. Star will always be a cherished part of my Rover journey. 🐾 McCoy was one of my first regular bookings and quickly became my wee best pal. A quiet soul, he’d come for affection on his own terms, sometimes joining me on the couch before toddling off to curl up in his bed like the cosiest wee boy. He had his playful moments too, especially after a good walk, and I’ll always remember his gentle, comforting presence. Both Star and McCoy left paw prints on my heart that will never fade. Though they’re no longer here, the love and memories we shared will live on forever. 🌈❤️ -------------------------------------- Caring for dogs isn’t just something I do — it’s my daily routine and my full-time passion. 🐾 I'll try to go out of my way as much as possible to help you with whichever dates you'd prefer ✌🏻❤️ Your pup will be treated like family here: ✨ A safe, loving home where they can feel comfortable ✨ Plenty of walks, play, and cuddles tailored to their personality ✨ Regular photo & video updates so you always feel connected I enjoy making you happy, allowing you to comfortably leave your best friend in my hands, where you'll receive regular video and photo updates as much as you'd like and being able to show you that your best friend is being loved and cared for as if they were my own. I appreciate each and every one of my clients, and I especially appreciate my regular clients who allow me to regularly have fun with their but now, also my best friend, due to their regular bookings. I'm happy to now be your full time Fairy Dogmother, Haha! 🌸 Why pet parents choose me: Because I go beyond basic care. I take the time to get to know your dog — their quirks, comforts, and even anxieties. If your pup has special needs, I’ll work with you to make sure they’re supported every step of the way. Every booking is personal to me, and many of my clients have become like extended family — their dogs are just as excited to see me as I am to see them. That bond means everything. 💖 📸 A little extra: I studied photography in college, so capturing your dog’s personality is one of my favourite parts of the job. Clients often tell me how much they love the photos I take — some have even framed them for their walls! Knowing those memories mean so much to you makes my heart so happy. I love sharing the joy these pups bring into my life, and I’d love for you to be part of it too. 💖 Search "Dionne’s Dogs" on Facebook and follow along for updates, sweet photos, and plenty of wagging tails. 🐾📸 🏡 Safety, Trust & Environment Your dog’s safety and happiness always come first. I provide a secure, fenced home where I live with my mum that has plenty of space for play and rest. And because I don’t have a dog of my own, your pup gets my undivided love and attention. There are a few grassy areas near me where I like to take dogs and let them have a good run around. I also make sure to learn about each dog’s individual needs — whether it’s special care, anxieties, or just their favourite daily routine — so they feel at home and fully supported.
About: I’ve had animals all of my life. From puppies and kittens to senior animals and strays. I’ve always found animals take to me well, it’s like they can tell I prefer them to humans. Working part-time can be a great way to balance responsibilities while still having enough free time to pursue other interests, like pet sitting. With a flexible schedule, I can dedicate my afternoons or weekends to caring for pets, ensuring they get the attention and love they need when their owners are away. This not only provides a rewarding experience but also allows me to earn some extra income while enjoying the company of furry friends. Having had 2 dogs and 3 cats. I have smashed the safety aspect of an in closed garden. I tend to adore every animal I ever meet & typically prefer them to people.
About: ** New to this app, Happy to do a meet a greet before hand to make sure I am a good fit for you, or alternatively please reach out message or phone call** I’ve had dogs since the age of 6. I’ve always been an avid animal lover. From school I worked in a veterinary practice as an assistant for a few years before going off to study at university. I’ve had 4 dogs and 2 cats. All of them I have treated like my children. Currently I work longer days on Monday-Thurs which doesn’t allow me to have a pet of my own. However I do have availability on Friday - Sunday and if given notice I would happy take requests that are outwith these days as I love the aspect of caring for an animal. Please reach out to me if you have any questions and il be so happy to board your furry babies! I have availability at weekends and every second Friday. I don’t have many plans at the weekend as I like to potter around go for walks visit cafes and new places. I would adore a pet of my own but because of my longer days it isn’t feasible at this time, which is why I want to do Rover. I would love to spend time with animals and give them the attention and trust they deserve! As an avid animal lover I have worked in a veterinary practice and have also volunteered at the dog and cat shelter. I own my home in a lovely quiet neighbourhood with no traffic. I have my own back garden which is high fenced and gets the sunshine all day as it’s south facing. I live in a town where there are lots of fields and lots of trails to take your doggies out for long walks, I also enjoy taking my brothers dogs out to surrounding beaches as they love the ocean and running on the sand. I enjoy meeting up with friends who have dogs and we go to cafes to get coffee and of course the dogs come too. I live along and keep my warm cosy quiet and a perfect environment for those little ones that are extra timid.
About: Hi, I’m Cirila — I’d love to look after your pet while you’re away and make sure they feel happy, safe and relaxed. I’ve grown up with animals and have over 10 years of pet-sitting experience. I share my home with Fox, my gentle and friendly lurcher, who’s calm, well socialised, and used to having other dogs around. I’m self-employed, so I’m home most of the time and can give your pet plenty of attention, cuddles, and company. Dogs staying with me get at least one nice long walk a day, plus extra walks or playtime depending on what they enjoy. I’m also happy to pet-sit in your home if that’s what your pet prefers. I have experience looking after cats and budgies, as well as small animals. I really enjoy getting to know each pet and treating them like part of the family. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry (or feathered!) friend 🐶🐱🦜 Pet care is part of my everyday life. I’m self-employed, so I only take bookings when I’m working from home or on holiday, meaning your pet always has company. My own lurcher, Fox, keeps me on a routine of walks, playtime, and chill time — so looking after another dog just fits right in. I make sure every pet gets plenty of exercise, attention and a comfortable, calm day. In my home: Your dog becomes part of the family. They get daily walks, lots of company, playtime, and whatever routine you prefer. Fox is very friendly and enjoys having a buddy around. In your home: I follow your pet’s usual routine so they feel at home. I’m tidy, respectful, and send plenty of photo updates. With your permission, I may bring Fox along — he’s gentle and used to house-sitting with me.
About: I have my own dog and take care of friends and families dogs often, I enjoy a big walk and some play time for the dogs. I’m currently not working so I am able to spend as long with your dog as required. I enjoy going walks and playing with dogs. I have a fenced garden that’s secure and I have one daschund. She’s high energy ans enjoys playing and relaxing with other dogs.
About: I've always been an animal lover. Working in Pets at Home for 4 and a half years at the age of 18 enhanced this. I have vast experience with cats, dogs, small animals, fish and reptiles. I have also assisted some friends with dog training. I am a stay at home Mum to one baby born 1st January 2025 so have a pretty open schedule providing my assistant can accompany me. You're fur baby would have plenty of space to relax and play both inside and outside. I also have parks and areas nearby I can drive to for fun walks.
About: When I'm not looking after animals, you'll usually find me outdoors — I'm currently 120 Munros into all 282, and I love hiking, travelling, and both indoor and outdoor bouldering whenever I get the chance. I grew up in the north of Scotland, mostly in Shetland and Scourie, and I've spent a lot of time travelling and house sitting in those areas too, so I'm very comfortable in remote or rural settings as well as busier towns and cities. Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember — I grew up surrounded by dogs, cats, cows, and horses, so looking after them just feels natural to me! I've been pet sitting for over 16 years now, both here in the UK and while travelling around Europe and Asia, and I love that animals have been part of every adventure along the way. At home, I've got two dogs and three cats keeping me busy (and very loved). Some of my favourite memories come from a hobby I did with National Geographic, working with an NGO called Target that helps protect animals from poachers. I got to work alongside animal experts from all over the world in India's national parks — setting up cameras and spending time with tigers, tiger cubs, snakes, tortoises, and dogs. It was an incredible experience and taught me so much about how different animals think and behave. I've cared for pets from tiny month-old puppies and kittens all the way up to a wise old 14.5-year-old collie, across loads of different breeds. I've also helped rescue dogs settle in — from Romania, learning to trust humans and live alongside other pets, and from northern Scotland, helping them become calmer and more confident, learning to walk nicely on a lead, stay relaxed around other dogs, and not bark so much. Animals have always had a huge place in my heart, and I've looked after them both one-on-one and in multi-pet households, so whether it's a single pet needing full attention or a busy home with several animals at once, I'm comfortable managing it all. Honestly, what I love most is getting to know each animal's own personality — because just like people, no two are ever the same! I take the time to understand them, play with them, and learn something new every single day. If you're looking for someone who'll genuinely care for your pet like their own, I'd love to meet them! I'm very flexible when it comes to pet care, and I'm happy to fit my schedule around yours rather than the other way round — whether that means early mornings, late evenings, or something in between. I know how much it means to feel completely at ease while you're away, so I love sending photo updates of your pet enjoying their time with me, so you can see for yourself that they're happy, safe, and well looked after. Communication is a big part of how I work, so if you ever want an update or have a specific routine you'd like followed, I'm always just a message away. I try to respond to your queries within 30 minutes, unless I'm away hiking or somewhere with no network — but even then, I'll get back to you as soon as I'm reachable! 🙂 When I'm caring for pets in your home, I like to keep things as close to normal as possible, so your pet babies can stick to their own routine rather than having to adjust to mine. I spend time playing with them, talking to them, and giving them plenty of attention throughout the day — walkies for dogs, playtime for cats, and anything extra you'd like me to do to keep them happy and comfortable. Your home and your pet's usual habits always come first, so just let me know what works best for them and I'll follow your lead. :)

“Wow! Could not be more grateful impressed or recommend more highly! Kim and her husband Ali took the very best care of my nervous pup and treated her to so much love attention and adventures. They took her to a specialist dog park and were playing and chasing with her going above and beyond! I made the booking with a few hours notice for an overnight stay and Kim was so kind and gracious about every step, very understanding and sent loads of updates. Roxy was spoilt with cuddles affection and attention and had the best sleepover party ever - thank you both I feel so lucky to have found you!”
“A superb, reliable and really friendly person to look after your dog. We've used Kaelan a few times now and trust him completely to look after our dog. He communicates excellently which is also incredibly reassuring”
“We couldn’t have asked for better people to look after our dog. From the start, they were kind, reliable, and clearly cared deeply about making sure our dog felt comfortable and happy. We received regular updates, photos, and messages, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It was obvious our dog was treated like part of the family — well looked after, exercised, and given lots of attention and affection. We came home to a relaxed and happy dog, which says everything. We’re incredibly grateful for the care and love they showed and would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy and caring dog sitters.”
“Orla and Aine were fantastic sitters for Luna, I can tell that she had such a good time. We met for a meet and greet before her stay so they could get a quick introduction and they made sure to follow Luna’s routine as closely as possible to make her stay comfortable for her. They asked plenty of questions to get things right for Luna and took her to her favourite places for her walks. I would definitely book with them again and recommend to anyone looking for reliable dog sitters!”
“Keira had a wonderful stay with Kwai and family. She was very well looked after and enjoyed having a wee friend, Sally the Bijon Frisé, to play with. Communication was excellent from start to finish, and we received daily updates and photos that were very reassuring. On top of that, the whole family are lovely and really went out their way to make sure Keira's stay would be as good as possible. She's already booked in for a return visit!”
“Fester had a lovely stay with Adele, she took exceptional care of him and accepted all of his special quirks and needs. As an older dog he is quite particular and she accommodated everything perfectly. Fester came home happy, bouncy and rested - we will definitely be using Adele again for Fester sitting!”
“Anna looked after our black lab pup for one night. We were a bit apprehensive leaving him being only 6 months but Anna was great. Updated us throughout the night and bear the following morning seemed very happy! Would definitely recommend Anna and we would absolutely use here again in the future. Thanks Anna”
“Would highly recommend Zoe, she had our frankie boy for 3 nights and kept us updated on how he was with pictures and videos, this was ideal as it was the first he had stayed with someone outside the family.”
About: I studied animal care and received an HNC, I have experience looking after different breeds which have different needs from young puppies to senior dogs I love looking after them all equally, giving them any medication they may he on is no problem and having experience with nervous and dog aggressive dogs I'm more than comfortable with. I'm not currently working at the moment and I hope to be looking after animals full time so that means I will be there for the animals 24/7. I will be with your pets for the entirety of my time with them keeping them company and giving plenty love and attention, I don't have a garden but have a huge park right outside my flat they they will have plenty long walks around.
“We couldn't have asked for a better dog sitter for Rolo! From the moment we dropped him off, we knew he was in great hands. We received lots of lovely photos and regular updates throughout our holiday, which gave us complete peace of mind and let us see just how much fun he was having. It was clear that Rolo was so well looked after and genuinely cared for. The love, attention and time that Megan put into making him feel happy and settled really showed, and we came home to a relaxed, content dog. We would absolutely recommend Megan to anyone looking for a caring, reliable and trustworthy dog sitter, and we wouldn't hesitate to book with her again. Thank you so much for taking such amazing care of Rolo!”
“Stars first visit to stay with Dionne must say he was very contented and seemed to have been happy staying with her and her mum going back in a week and im definitely happy to do this ??xx”
“Kiera and her family took such good care of our dog blue when we were away on a family holiday. It’s so lovely to have a home from home to send your dog to. Highly recommend x”
“Elizabeth was amazing and Bonnie thought so too. Very accommodating, thoughtful and great communication. Would highly recommend and will definitely leave Bonnie in her care in the future ☺️”
“We left Maxwell with Sara and her partner Calum for 5 days and we would highly recommend them to anyone. Max is epileptic and requires a little extra care than most dogs, which they handled with ease. We were kept updated constantly with pictures and videos, so we were never worried. You could tell they were a perfect fit for max. He is now curled up at the end of the bed, which is a very good sign. Don’t know who had a better holiday, us or young Max. Thank you again to Sara and Calum”
“This was our first time leaving our dog with anyone out with our immediate family and we’re a little nervous but Cara was excellent and Cassie seemed sad to leave! We got loads of videos and pics of the fun being had and we have now already booked for our summer holidays! Top class and couldn’t ask for anything more”
“I was terrified about leaving my dog. In 4 years, he hadn't been with anyone other than myself and 2 trusted people from the family. Cathie and Daniel were understanding and kind from the get go, but they truly went above and beyond my expectations when it came to Frankie's care. They've now lifted a massive weight off my shoulders and, after nearly two years, I finally have someone that I trust to look after my boy and I can consider travelling again!”
