About: I'v had a variety of pets ever since I was young. I've helped look after my mum and my brother's dogs. I currently have a dog, 3 cats and 4 guinea pigs with my girlfriend. Currently working on a 0 hour contract so can take care of all pets on short notice and give them the care and attention they deserve. I have a 8ft fence we'll secure garden with unlimited access. I'm aware of animals body language and makes sure all pets feel safe and secure. Enjoying there time til there parents come back.
“The dogs absolutely love their holiday home! They have stayed with Tam and her family numerous times now and love it more each time. Brodie didn’t even want to leave this time!”
“Lady is an elderly dog, quite deaf and was made to feel at home with Zulma. We had lovely photos and videos of Lady, she was very happy and relaxed. Lady will definitely be staying with Zulma again. Thank you Zulma.”
“Raquel and her whole family are absolutely amazing! Oakley had the best 10 nights with them, and honestly, I’m not convinced he even wanted to come home! 😂 Raquel kept us updated with photos and messages twice a day, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. She kept us in the loop with everything they’d been getting up to, and it was clear from the updates just how happy and well cared for Oakley was. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter or a more loving home for him to stay in. We honestly cannot recommend Raquel and her family enough. We will definitely be booking with them again! 🐾❤️”
“Really happy to have left our dog Willow with Gauhar. She was cared for and loved while I took a weekend break. Lots of regular updates and photos were really appreciated. Thanks Gauhar”
“Caity looked after our Cavapoochon Bailey for a week and he had the best time! Lovely walks on the beach and snuggles on the couch - his favourite things to do 😊 Bailey can be a bit anxious and isn't great with other dogs, so having the beach on the doorstep was great for him as he was able to have lovely quiet walks there. Caity was very communicative throughout the week and sent lots of photos of Bailey enjoying himself. Would definitely recommend Caity and hope Bailey will be able to stay with her again”
“Kirsty was reliable, timely and checked in with me while Benji was with her. He was a happy boy on both leaving and returning. I’d happily recommend Kirsty and use her again for overnight boarding.”
“Nutmeg had such a fantastic stay with Naomi and Nick! She was made to feel completely at home and loved spending time with their lovely dogs, Lola and Sid. As Nutmeg is blind, it was especially reassuring to see how well she got along with them and how she made a sweet wee friend in Lola! We had regular updates and photos, and it was clear she was having the best time. She came home happy, relaxed and very well cared for. Highly recommend!”
“Jemma and Keira welcomed our dogs into their home and made it a home from home while we were away. They took them on doggy adventures above and beyond expectations. They were both well looked after.”
“Wrinkles had a great time, came back happy & tuckered out. Tsui Shan was very communicative, easy to coordinate with and sent us all sorts of adorable updates over Wrinkles time with her.”
“Daisy took very good care of Magic. She is very capable and confident and he got to do all his favourite things like playing on the beach, playing with his ball and making friends with the family. We hope to use Daisy again to look after Magic.”
“Laura and David had our dog, Murphy, for an overnight this weekend and we returned to a very happy, content pup who was obviously very looked after! Laura sent some updates and pictures throughout his stay which was lovely. Wouldn’t hesitate to book again (in fact he’s already booked in for a 5 night stay in July). Thanks so much❤️”
“Judit was absolutely wonderful with Beanie. She made a big effort to understand Beanie's likes, dislikes, schedule and went the extra mile for her. I got regular updates and it was very clear that despite Beanie being a shy and cautious dog she absolutely loved her time away. I could not recommend Judit enough!”
“Jessica was absolutely lovely and very reliable. I could relax with peace of mind and got plenty of updates. Roxy has a heart condition so it isn’t easy to leave her with anyone but it felt safe to leave her with Jessica and everything that was advised regards Roxy and her routine was taken on board. We hope to be able to use Jessica for dog boarding again. :)”
“Annie had a wonderful time staying with Ionna. She was very well looked after, had a lot of fun with the other hounds, got a lot of affection and I was kept well updated regarding how she’d settled in.”
“Absolutely amazing! Calum and their partner provided a really welcoming place for Floyd. They were able to get him calmed down for bedtime in a new place - which isn’t easy! He was well exercised and came back to us very happy and content :)”

Another fabulous stay for Odin. He adores his stays at Juliets and she genuinely is one of the best sitters we’ve found. Odin is anxious around dogs but otherwise the perfect dog. Juliet listened to all his quirks and really caters to all his needs and somehow even made a doggy friend whilst on his stay? We were shocked and amazed! We’d highly recommend Juliet and Odin cannot wait to come back for another stay!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Scottish Borders is £35 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between £29 and £47 per night.
On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 588 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across the city of Scottish Borders. About 90% typically respond to requests within 60 minutes.
Enter your address and booking dates to see which sitters are available near you. You can also message multiple sitters to improve your chances of finding the right care.
When you book dog boarding on Rover, your dog has an overnight booking in a sitter’s home. A traditional kennel or boarding facility typically cares for dogs in a commercial setting, often with multiple staff members and a set daily schedule.
The environment and care arrangements in a sitter’s home vary by sitter. Some sitters may accept only one pet owner's pets at a time, while others may care for several dogs. Review each sitter’s profile and arrange a Meet & Greet to ask about resident pets, other dogs, supervision, sleeping arrangements, exercise, medication, and the sitter’s home environment.
Consider your dog’s normal routine, comfort around other animals, supervision needs and preferred environment. Whether you choose home boarding or a kennel, confirm what care is included and how your dog’s needs would be handled before booking.
We require sitters to operate in compliance with applicable local licensing requirements. In England, pet sitters who board dogs or provide doggy day care as a business may need a valid licence under the Animal Welfare (Licensing of Activities Involving Animals) Regulations 2018. When vetting your sitter, ask if they meet local licensing requirements for dog boarding. This confirmation is important for coverage under the Rover Guarantee. Read more about our requirement for following local licensing requirements.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for last-minute bookings for Dog Boarding. With 588 sitters in Scottish Borders, 65% respond to messages in under 5 minutes.
Many sitters keep their calendars updated in real time and you can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care in the next 24 hours, you can look for sitters with a 'calendar last updated' notice on their profiles.
Every sitter must complete an identity verification process before listing their services on Rover. This process checks that the sitter’s identity matches their provided documents.
Identity verification doesn't assess a sitter’s experience or suitability for your pet. To see if a sitter is the right fit, you can review each sitter's profile for ratings, verified reviews, repeat pet owner information and care style. We also recommend arranging a Meet & Greet to discuss your pet’s needs and make sure the sitter is the right fit before booking.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes dedicated customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement programme for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to £25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
