About: AWAY UNTIL AUGUST DUE TO RELOCATION TO SCOTLAND Hello! I’m Satine! I’m an animal lover through and through - even to the smallest kinds. 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 energetic, active and affectionate cocker spaniels - brother and sister, as well as two cats, both with very different personalities. My Bodie and Bambi (dogs) and Kaito and Eevee (cats) are truly my world. I don’t think there’s ever been a point in my life where I didn’t have a pet! 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. I am currently only in college for 3 days of the week - and these days are highly flexible as they start and finish early, which means I will have plenty of time to drop in and pay your babies a visit! Before I take care of your cats/dogs, it is essential that I meet them and visit your home prior, as this will give me insight on their environment, tell me their preferences, and allow them to become comfortable with me in advance. I also will take note of any information you provide on their specific dietary needs, medication usage or other special requirements. I will always follow your specific care instructions for each cat or dog. I am also very experienced in dealing efficiently with cheeky or mischievous pets, as my Kaito who is an indoor cat frequently tries to work his way around windows and doors. I will always check to make sure your home is secure before leaving and when I first arrive to ensure the safety of your pets and prevent them from wandering off. I am also fine to take care of other basic tasks like taking bins out, taking in parcels or letters etc. Just let me know!

About: My name is Jessica, I’m 25 years old and currently work in a genomics laboratory😊 I am the biggest animal lover EVER & have always grown up around animals so am comfortable with furbabies and their different personalities! I have 3 cats and 2 dogs of my own, Tilly Nacho and Gizmo🐱 alongside Bella and Molly🐶 Looking to earn a little extra money by helping out in looking after any pets that may require my services😍 I am a patient care giver & would take the time to get to know your pets so we are both comfortable 😌 I have plenty of evening and early morning availability, can also pop in and out over weekends when I’m free if needed. Love spending as much of my free time with animals as possible so this works out great for me! I’ll always ensure windows/doors are secured if your cats are indoor only. I know some cats are a little adventurous at the best of times so as much info about your kitty’s would be great to better my understanding of how to care for them. I love long beach walks and throwing a ball for my dogs so if this is something that sounds like your pet would enjoy, I’d be more than happy to cater for this!

Zoe was a great cat sitter! She helped us out very last minute after another cat sitter cancelled a couple of days before we were due to leave. Zoe sent detailed updates during each visit, and we returned home to a happy, chilled cat 🥰

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.

About: After 10 years in retail and most recently working in the transport industry, I'm taking the plunge into the world of all things dog where wagging tails, muddy paws and happy adventures are the whole point of the day! Having left school with the mission of being the next female David Attenborough (clearly not achieved😅!) I've followed my heart and looking to build a future around something I truly love 🐾 Whether it's walks, company, a little extra care or just someone who understands their quirks, Dottie about Dogs will meet their every need. I am fully insured, canine first-aid trained and proudly covering Ayr and the surrounding areas. Even though I am still working in my current job, I'm building this little dream step by step, and I am so excited to meet the wonderful pups (and people!) who will be part of the journey 🥰 Thank you for all your support, Emily 🐶🐾🐕🦴 With pet care I will always work around your needs and busy lives! Where I can offer services I will always make sure this is the best for you and your pet. I look to offer and home from home environment, aiming to create a calm and caring environment for your pet! I will adapt this to each service be it walks, drop in or boarding - what you expect I will always provide and a little bit more 🥰

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: As a 4th-year veterinary medicine student at the University of Glasgow, caring for animals isn’t just what I do—it’s who I am. I’ve managed a cattery, looked after my own beloved dogs and cats, and regularly cared for pets belonging to friends and family. Over the past four years, I’ve gained hands-on experience in various veterinary practices, deepening both my clinical skills and my understanding of what pets truly need to feel safe, loved, and comfortable. Whether it's cuddles, playtime, or medication support, I treat every pet like my own—with patience, compassion, and genuine care. I am currently 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. With this being said I always try my best to fit in walks and drop ins so please do reach out and we can try sort something! I provide attentive, loving care tailored to each pet's needs. This includes feeding, walks, playtime, and keeping to their routine to ensure they feel safe and comfortable.

About: I have always had pets in my home (mostly cats and dogs). I dog walk for a variety of my friends and family and have experience dog walking different breeds. I also cat sit and many have been cats that are rescued. I am excited to become and dog walker and pet sitter when required! I have recently went self employed and have so much time to dog walk and cat/dog sit when required. I prefer being self employed meaning i can do this when I want to and which best suits the owner. I am such an animal lover and want to spend time caring/ looking after animals as I see this as more of a hobby compared to a job because I love it so much. I’ve walked dogs small and large and have gained experience feeding, walking and bathing dogs.

About: I look after cats as if they were my own, getting to know their routine and personality so they feel comfortable and settled at home. I keep things calm and familiar, with plenty of care, attention, and the kind of company your cat actually enjoys. I’ll also send regular updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your cat is happy and well looked after while you’re away. I have my own cat Oreo, he’s a cheeky well loved boy who loves to play and get up to nonsense. I work 2 shifts per week so have plenty of flexibility around your pet, I can come morning and night-time on work days and anytime during my days off. I care for pets in their own home, keeping to their usual routine so they feel safe and comfortable. Visits include feeding, fresh water, litter tray cleaning, playtime or calm company, and lots of care and attention. I always follow your instructions and send regular updates, so you know your cat is happy while you’re away.

About: I am a 30 year old woman with a 4 year old Siberian husky and a 2 year old tabby cat. I am an animal lover and like being outside come rain or shine so be assured your pets will have the best walks or cuddles asked for. I have been brought up around animals my entire life with both sisters having 2 dogs each and my parents having a family dog whilst growing up. I do work full time as a teacher but I have various holidays throughout the year where I am able to walk or have your animal overnight if you are away. Walking your dog or cuddling your cat is at the highest priority. I am very trust worthy when entering your home. I will send details of my visit and pictures of your pet being looked after and attended to.

Would highly recommend Carol. Our cat was so happy and engaged with her. The videos everyday were reassuring. Now I feel I have to step up and play with Cleo more as she will miss Carol’s interaction 😂😂

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - South Ayrshire

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in South Ayrshire on Rover is £13.8 per Visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

There are 334 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in South Ayrshire. About 91% of South Ayrshire sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you are planning ahead for public holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day cover for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter trays. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialisation or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poo breaks occured. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available for dedicated customer support by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalised, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a key safe. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalised codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in a flat, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or lift etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

Every sitter on Rover must pass an identity verification before they can list their services. An identity verification confirms that the sitter is who they say they are based on their documents.

Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to £25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit our Trust & Safety page .

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
