“This was the first time I had used Rover and leave my dog with someone he didn’t know. I left Steven with an essay of all my dogs “quirks”. Steven was reassuring that he had experience of “quirky collies”. Steven sent regular photos and updates over the four days he stayed with him. Will definitely book again if needed.”

About: I’ve always been a big dog person and have spent lots of time looking after my friends’ Cocker Spaniels, Ralph and Rue. I’d have them stay with me for days or sometimes weeks, so I’m very used to the walks, feeding, keeping them entertained and generally having a dog follow me around everywhere! I absolutely loved having them around and still miss them, so I’d be very happy to get my dog fix by looking after some new four-legged friends. I work from home most of the time, except from a Wednesday when I go into the office. I live alone and my job involves a lot of writing so would welcome the company from a cute doggo I have a nice garden space for dogs to enjoy, and I love getting out for little walks and adventures, so there’ll be plenty of fresh air and things to sniff! your pup will have my full attention and won’t have to worry about children or a busy household. I’m happy to work around their usual routine, whether that’s lots of walks and playtime or plenty of sofa time and cuddles.
“Kirsty knew how anxious I was about leaving my boy. She assured me that she would treat him like one of her own and believe me she certainly did. Sadly my boy was old with complex health issues and needed veterinary care. Kirsty was amazing and stayed with my boy throughout for which I will never forget her kindness towards my wee Teddy boy. Kirsty kept me updated daily on how my boy was, sending pictures and messages. I know my boy was well looked after and would like to thank her from the bottom of my heart for the exceptional care she gave to my boy. Sadly my boy passed and I am heartbroken but Kirsty stayed with him to the end and I will be forever thankful for that. Thanks again Kirsty for all your support xxx”

About: I am a dog loving, animal obsessed and puppy mum! We have brought home a new puppy this year, Haggis and happy to share our home with other friendly pups who need some short stays! Hi! I’m an experienced dog owner and absolutely love having dogs around. Your dog will be treated like part of the family in a safe, loving home alongside our friendly Australian Labradoodle puppy, Haggis, and our 8-year-old son, who has grown up around dogs and is calm and respectful with them. To make sure everyone has a happy and stress-free stay, we do have a few requirements. Dogs staying with us must be friendly and comfortable around other dogs and children. We also ask that they’re happy sleeping in either a crate or their own bed overnight, as we don’t allow dogs to sleep in our beds. Our aim is to provide a fun, safe, and relaxed home-from-home where your dog gets plenty of attention, play, and care while you’re away. We look forward to meeting you and your furry friend! We have an enclosed garden and lots of walks in our area to take your dog on.
About: I am accustomed to caring for dogs and cats and have often looked after pets for friends and family. I am passionate about animal welfare and would be pleased to offer dependable pet care services to others who need support while away from home ❤️ I am working, but happy to look after the pets who can stay at home when I am at work, also free at the weekends. Due to the size of my flat, I can only accommodate smaller dogs and cats. Larger dogs generally need more space than I can't provide comfortably. I will ensure that any pets in my care receive safe, loving, and attentive environment ❤️
“Koko and his family were absolutely wonderful! They kept us updated regularly, and it was clear our dog was having the best time. They respected his routine, adapted to his individual needs, and cared for him with so much love and attention. Seeing how happy and relaxed he was gave us complete peace of mind. This was our dog’s very first stay away from us since we rescued him, and it couldn’t have gone better. It was obvious that he enjoyed every single moment with them. We can only recommend Koko and his family!”
“Great service once again from David. David looked after our dog Luna for just over 2 weeks. We always felt she was in safe hands and he kept in regular contact with us to let us know she was doing well complete with photos and videos. I would recommend David to others looking for a pet sitter.”
“A massive thank you to Olha & Huzi. For looking after Kai. For Kai's age and condition they showed him the love from the minute we introduced them. Was updated regularly with photos included, of which Kai didnt look out of place. Nothing was a hassle to them. Would recommend highly and use again.”
“We booked our golden doodle Freddie for a three night stay with Elizabeth and I can only say how delighted we are with the care and affection our wee doodle received. From the initial meet n greet, a few days before his stay, Freddie was warmly welcomed into the family and very quickly settled with Elizabeth. He was spoiled all weekend with woodland walks, sniffing safaris at the local park and even a trip to Loch Lomond for a dip! With lovely photos and regular updates on his stay we felt so reassured that he was in safe hands and having a great time with an experienced dog lover! We’re so pleased to have found Elizabeth and Freddie is looking forward to his next stay already!”
“Johnson and his family took good care of our loveable and very excitable dog. He sent lots of photos during her stay and kept in touch when needed. I would definitely recommend him as a great dog sitter.”
“Janou did an amazing job looking after our dog. Rocco had a great time staying with Janou, who gave us updates on how Rocco was doing and we felt at ease knowing that our dog was well looked after. Would recommend and thank you Janou!”

“Reliable....friendly....warm and dedicated... Rachel has cared for kitty's as she would her own and I have felt relaxed knowing my little ones have been in safe hands.❤️”
“Dannii provided a reliable and professional service for our 7 month old kitten Rosie. She visited us to meet Rosie and we showed her where everything would be in terms of food/cat litter supplies. We booked Dannii for 8 visits in total, she is is quick to respond to messages and as first time users of "Cat in a Flat" we enjoyed the report cards of each visit where she wrote about Rosie and added new pictures from each visit. Dannii provided an excellent service to Rosie and cared and played with her at each visit. When we returned home Rosie was her usual happy, relaxed and playful self which we feel is a strong sign of the excellent care she received from Dannii. We would highly recommend Dannii and we would book her for cat sitting again in the future.”

About: I have been fortunate to grow up around many different animals and I couldn’t imagine not having animals in my life. I regularly look after cats and dogs for friends and family while they are on holiday. I have experience with many different animals, for example I worked abroad teaching horse riding. I currently own a rescue dog who was nervous of people and dogs which has given me extensive knowledge with reactive dogs and I have completed training on this. I have had and currently have animals that require medication so I ensure all pet care requirements are met. Animals are my passion and I follow this up with different courses such as canine massage therapy. I want to help people provide the best care to their dogs and any others pets. I currently work full-time but have quite a lot of holidays from work throughout the year. I would be available after 5pm on weekdays and anytime weekends. If you require a different time please message as we may be able to arrange a time. As I have experience with reactive dogs I understand body language well and will ensure the safety of your dog when out on walks. I am happy to follow any rules or guidance you have when visiting your home and looking after your dog.
“Jamie looked after our 5 babies to an exceptionally high standard and went above and beyond to make sure all their individual needs where met whilst away along with daily updates and brilliant communication. Our cats had taken a liking to Jamie quite quickly showing he has a very kind nature. Our home was looked after and respected also showing high levels of trust. Would highly recommend and use his services again if required.”

About: I have experience with high energy dogs with my 5 year old border collie, and my friends and family have dogs of various breeds. I have grown up around dogs of all ages, my aunt bred border collies and trained them for shows, and I enjoyed getting involved with their training. Currently on maternity leave and my partner is studying mostly from home, so always someone around for company. We love to get outdoors to walk our 5 year old border collie with our 6 month old daughter (always supervised with dogs and is very respectful), usually over the Kilpatrick Hills or Balloch Country Park. We have a large fenced garden and a 5 year old border collie for your pets to make friends with! We’re always up for a snuggle, dogs welcome on furniture but can hold boundaries if that is preferred. We have multiple crates and can separate dogs in different rooms if required.
“Absolutely fantastic! My new go-to :) my dog completely adores Carly and gets on super well with her dog too. She's very attentive and kind. Can't ask for anything more. My dog whines with excitement to go see her. One very happy client!”
“We were up from Bedfordshire for a funeral and didn't want to leave our dog behind. Rebecca met us the day before where we introduced Willow to her and Ossie. She is a lovely person and left us in no doubt that Willow would be well cared for. We had to extend the visit with her and she accommodated this without any extra charge. We don't like being apart from our Willow but should we have to book doggy day care again, it will be with Rebecca. Thanks very much!”
About: Golden Family Dog Sitting Hey, guys, my name is Julie, and my partner Chris and I currently have three stunning Golden retriever babies who are our absolute world. I have been fostering for Irish Retriever Rescue for the last 3 years as well as doggy sitting for close friends and family. I made the decision to officially do what I love and that's looking after fur babies of all kind 🥰 full time. I offer boarding and when looking after your fur baby they will not be left alone throughout there stay and will have the adventures that they will just keep yapping about after you come and collect them🤭. We are looking to offer that home away from home experience for your pups holiday with us. Our three love to meet new friends and have playtime all the time. We have experience with all types of dogs from fostering and puppy sitting and our three themselves. We make sure that all dogs daily are comfortable providing them with 2 walks a day and a visit to our local dog field to get all the zoomies out. We will take instructions from yourself on feeding and treats, all dogs have free roam of the house and Garden, but again we like to make sure everyone is safe so always make sure that at least one of us is present with the dogs at all times. We like to always do an introduction with our dogs first before the holiday just to make sure everyone is introduced and there's no issues while doing this we always love to get more information and stories about your pup to make sure we provide the best experience when they come. In case of any emergencies or injuries we always have a pet first aid box on hand and our vets is only 10 minutes away if necessary but thankfully have never had any issues to require the vet. Also have experience with excitable dogs, nervous dogs and have small experience with resource guarding that was corrected by ourselves. Normal daily routine for ourselves is garden toilet time while breakfast is being prepared, once we full belly's and a little time to digest its times for our morning walk which is usually around 45 minutes to an hour, after returning from our morning walk it's fun time play time during the week I myself am at home with all dogs and make sure to have playtime with toys and out in our spacious garden which is fully fenced and secure. Around 5pm we proceed to have dinner time in which I make sure to feed all dogs and usually once Chris returns home at 6 we take all dogs out to the Run free dog fields for an hour we tend to fetch or if we are feeling energetic we like to run round with the dogs with a little game of tag lol once our time is up we normally try and settle down for the evening all dogs have the freedom of the house so where ever they feel comfortable they can choose to relax for the evening but we do make sure to have regular garden breaks until it is time for our night time walk which is normally around 10pm again for around 45 minutes. Once that is complete it's time for our beds we have a number of dog beds throughout the house and also dogs have the option to sleep where they are most comfortable. Weekends tend to be slightly different as we tend to go on adventures whether to the beach a first walk or hike to give the dogs a great adventure to enjoy.

“It was so lovely to know LIndy was being well looked after by Vicki on Easter Day which enabled me to see my family as she is not comfortable in the close up company of my small grandchildren or my son's large and lively young dog. She is a quirky little dog and Vicki gave her 5 star attention to keep her calm!”

About: I grew up with dogs from my grandparents collies to our family labradors and now my own cockapoo. Dogs bring me a lot of happiness and I love chilling out with my furry friends. I have over 20 years of experience looking after dogs and I understand the importance of making sure your dog is safe with someone else when they can’t be with you. I use Rover myself when I need someone to watch me dog and so would like to help others out too. I work full time where I am required to be in the office twice a week. Those days are flexible so I can usually work around requests for dog sitting. I have a decent sized house and garden for your dog to relax in and they will have company with me and my cockapoo. I live in a very quiet residential area with a fenced garden. Your dog will be on lead at all times when out on a walk with me.

About: Over the years I have had 6 cats, 2 dogs, hamsters, parrots and fish so I have always had a love for animals! I have plenty of experience in caring for them and know what they need. I have had pets who have had ongoing medical needs including regular medicine. I’m the go-to contact for friends and family when they need someone to pet-sit! My partner, Huzaifah, will be helping take care of your pet. He’s an animal lover and has looked after cats, dogs, ferrets, fish, and iguana and a tortoise. I work part time and my partner, who also adores animals, works full time from home so your pet will always have company! We don’t work weekends or bank holidays. We currently have 2 gerbils in a cage in our spacious upper cottage flat with an unfenced garden. The gerbils are elevated so there shouldn’t be any issues, they love the company of other animals!

About: Grown up owning a Labrador and being surrounded by a number of family dogs of various sizes including rescue dogs. Our household welcomes all kind of paws and pups. I work shifts and my partner works hybrid (home and office). Between us there is someone home, keen to cuddle or up for a walk. We occasionally look after family and friends dogs when required. I have a fenced, secure garden. A box full of toys and treats for all dogs to enjoy. A dedicated cuddle chair calling out for a dog snuggle.
About: I started petsitting when I was 11 and i’m very passionate about taking care and giving the best care possible for your pets! I have 3 pets of my own and have had a dog since i was 5 so i’m very experienced with animals and my other dog has behavioural issues so i’m well trained with that too. I currently don’t drive but I will be starting lessons soon! i’m enthusiastic and will do exactly as instructed to keep you and your furry friends happy. I’m not working at the moment so i’m free from August 1st onwards as I have other bookings until the 31st, I get the bus so times can be a little funny but I always make it work! When I care for pets in the owner’s home, I focus on creating a safe and familiar environment for them. I follow the pet’s usual routine, feeding, walks, and play, so they stay comfortable. Trust is key, so I keep owners updated and ensure their home is respected and secure. My presence gives both the pets and the owners peace of mind.
About: Having gained a level 2 and 3 in animal care and management, and then a BSc (Hons) in Animal behaviour and welfare, I have worked with various species of animals from cats and dogs to horses, sheep, pigs, bearded dragons, geckos, and multiple aquatic animals of the like. I have been an animal management and care specialist for a HE college, then moved to a veterinary specialist hospital as a technician. I have now turned to human nursing post covid. I currently work as a nurse, from 0830 till 5 pm Monday to Friday, I am free nearly every weekend. I am more than happy to have your furry child over night or to look in on them after work or on weekends. Having an open-plan flat, the rooms are filled with natural light; CCTV will be an option, but daily updates will be included as standard. I will insist on password pickup (you and I agree on a secret password if someone other than the person who drops them off is picking them up). If visiting your home, I will be wearing body-worn CCTV and will text or video chat during my visit to ensure that you are aware that I have attended to your goodest boy/girl.
“Agnieszka has been walking our little French bulldog, Bruna, for the past week, and we couldn’t be happier with the care she provides. She’s attentive, communicates promptly about any updates or changes, and has been so reliable. Our Bruna adores her, which is a huge bonus for us. Highly recommend her services!”

About: With my Dad who races pigeons and an Auntie who rescues dogs and used to volunteer with The Dog's Trust, I am one of the lucky ones who has grown up around animals their entire life. We kept budgies and rabbits, a dog and a cat. I had neighbours who asked me to look after their guinea pig, and another who asked me to look after their Yorkshire Terrier, I have wide experience with different animals and on different terms, including overnight stays and daily meal time visits, or just as a companion for a few hours. My boyfriend is always catching me talking to various dogs and our cats when we are out on walks. I'm currently working from home as a freelance photographer which gives me a pretty flexible weekly routine. I live close to a number of parks for walks, but also close to public transport for home visits.I As previously mentioned, I have been entrusted with things like staying overnight to look after a friend's cats, dropping by to check in with pet wellbeing and keeping them company for a few hours and dishing up meal time. Additionally, as someone very fond of nature, dog walks are something I really miss about moving to the city from the Scottish Highlands where I grew up with said cat, dog, rabbits, budgies and pigeons.

“This was the first time I had used Rover and leave my dog with someone he didn’t know. I left Steven with an essay of all my dogs “quirks”. Steven was reassuring that he had experience of “quirky collies”. Steven sent regular photos and updates over the four days he stayed with him. Will definitely book again if needed.”

About: I am a dog loving, animal obsessed and puppy mum! We have brought home a new puppy this year, Haggis and happy to share our home with other friendly pups who need some short stays! Hi! I’m an experienced dog owner and absolutely love having dogs around. Your dog will be treated like part of the family in a safe, loving home alongside our friendly Australian Labradoodle puppy, Haggis, and our 8-year-old son, who has grown up around dogs and is calm and respectful with them. To make sure everyone has a happy and stress-free stay, we do have a few requirements. Dogs staying with us must be friendly and comfortable around other dogs and children. We also ask that they’re happy sleeping in either a crate or their own bed overnight, as we don’t allow dogs to sleep in our beds. Our aim is to provide a fun, safe, and relaxed home-from-home where your dog gets plenty of attention, play, and care while you’re away. We look forward to meeting you and your furry friend! We have an enclosed garden and lots of walks in our area to take your dog on.
“Koko and his family were absolutely wonderful! They kept us updated regularly, and it was clear our dog was having the best time. They respected his routine, adapted to his individual needs, and cared for him with so much love and attention. Seeing how happy and relaxed he was gave us complete peace of mind. This was our dog’s very first stay away from us since we rescued him, and it couldn’t have gone better. It was obvious that he enjoyed every single moment with them. We can only recommend Koko and his family!”
“Great service once again from David. David looked after our dog Luna for just over 2 weeks. We always felt she was in safe hands and he kept in regular contact with us to let us know she was doing well complete with photos and videos. I would recommend David to others looking for a pet sitter.”
“We booked our golden doodle Freddie for a three night stay with Elizabeth and I can only say how delighted we are with the care and affection our wee doodle received. From the initial meet n greet, a few days before his stay, Freddie was warmly welcomed into the family and very quickly settled with Elizabeth. He was spoiled all weekend with woodland walks, sniffing safaris at the local park and even a trip to Loch Lomond for a dip! With lovely photos and regular updates on his stay we felt so reassured that he was in safe hands and having a great time with an experienced dog lover! We’re so pleased to have found Elizabeth and Freddie is looking forward to his next stay already!”
“Johnson and his family took good care of our loveable and very excitable dog. He sent lots of photos during her stay and kept in touch when needed. I would definitely recommend him as a great dog sitter.”
“Janou did an amazing job looking after our dog. Rocco had a great time staying with Janou, who gave us updates on how Rocco was doing and we felt at ease knowing that our dog was well looked after. Would recommend and thank you Janou!”
“Would highly recommend Julie to everyone! She truly cares for your dog as her own and keeps us updated with their daily adventures. Biscuit loves her little holidays, and would never stay anywhere else!”
“Brilliant! This was the first time we left our girls Callie and Willow with anyone other than family. Michaela was amazing! She kept us updated with pictures and as soon as the girls walked in the door they were at ease with her. I’m not too sure if they wanted to leave to be honest 😂 Highly recommend!!”
About: As a child, I never had a dog or cat of my own, despite begging my parents. So, I made up for it by walking my friends’ dogs as I loved animals. My mum then got a greyhound six years ago, and he was the best thing to happen to our family, so I spent my days looking after him. I wish to continue to do so in any way I can, whether it be dog walking or sleepovers. I am more than happy to help. I look forward to seeing the adventures your furry friend and I will go on, whether that be a local walk or taking your dog to the national park local to me. I am really looking forward to hearing from you! - Marina I currently working hybrid/remote from home so I’ll have plenty of time to look after your lovely pets! I have every weekend off too (: I can take your dog for local walks or i can take your dog to Loch Lomond or Balloch castle which is perfect for dog walking, your dog can wander around, play and swim too (: I will always create a route tailored to your dogs needs and abilities. At home, your pet will be allowed to wander the house freely. We have a good back and front garden where they can play and go out whenever they’d like.
“Fiona was a great sitter for our Harry. She kept us up to date, bathed Harry due to skin issues and he loved his time there. So grateful to Fiona and her family for taking great care of him.”
About: I've been surrounded by dogs and cats for as long as I can remember, and caring for animals has always been a big part of my life. Growing up, we always had dogs at home, and I helped raise them from puppies—looking after them, training them, taking them on walks, and making sure they were happy, healthy, and loved. We also spent a lot of time in the countryside, where being around dogs became a natural part of everyday life. Since moving to Scotland, I've continued caring for the dogs and pets of my friends and family whenever they've needed help. I genuinely love spending time with animals and treat every dog as if they were my own. Unfortunately, because of previous travel commitments, I wasn't able to have a dog of my own. I live in a fantastic area surrounded by parks, green spaces, and the Clyde Canal, so there are plenty of beautiful places for walks and adventures. I also have a secure garden where dogs can safely play and relax. I understand that trusting someone with your beloved dog is a big decision. I will always care for your dog with patience, kindness, and genuine love, making sure they feel safe, happy, and well looked after while they're with me. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply relaxing by someone's side, I'll make sure they have the best possible experience. I currently work remotely from home, which means I have a flexible schedule and can provide your dog with plenty of attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. I'm available during weekdays, weekends, and evenings, so your dog will rarely be left alone and will always have someone nearby to look after them. I live in a peaceful cottage flat in a wonderful area surrounded by parks, green spaces, and the Clyde Canal, providing the perfect setting for daily walks, exercise, and new adventures. I also have a secure, enclosed garden where dogs can safely play, explore, or simply relax. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your beloved pet. I will always care for your dog with patience, kindness, and genuine affection, following their usual routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable, safe, and at home. My goal is to give every dog a happy, stress-free experience while providing you with complete peace of mind. Your dog's safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my highest priorities. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, so I will care for them with the same patience, kindness, and attention that I would give my own. I take the time to understand each dog's routine, personality, and individual needs, including feeding schedules, exercise, medications, and any special instructions, so they can feel as settled and comfortable as possible. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply relaxing in a quiet space, I'll make sure they receive the care and attention that's right for them. My home is a calm, safe, and dog-friendly environment with a secure enclosed garden for supervised play, and I'm surrounded by parks, green spaces, and the Clyde Canal for enjoyable daily walks. Dogs are never left unattended in the garden, and I'll always ensure they are secure and comfortable both indoors and outdoors. I'll also keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your dog is happy, safe, and being well looked after while you're away.
“Laura and Luke were absolutely brilliant with Clement. We contacted them relatively last minute as we had a last minute change of plans for the weekend and had to travel to Paisley from near Birmingham with our beloved doggo in tow. The communication was spot on throughout, quick, clear and everything was really easy to arrange. They were so welcoming with Clement and completely unfazed by the fact that, while he’s incredibly friendly, he also comes with a generous helping of fur, slobber and love! They took him out on adventures during the day and he came back very happy, content and clearly very well looked after. In fact, I’m not entirely convinced he missed us at all! We felt completely comfortable leaving him with Laura and Luke and would happily recommend them. Thank you both for taking such lovely care of him! 🐾”
