“Claire was great. Met Rudy beforehand, maintained good contact and kept me updated about Rudy's walk. They went to the beach which is his favourite place. Would highly recommend Claire and would be delighted for her to care for Rudy again.”
“Couldn’t be happier with Grant! Before his first walk with our dog, Rex, he took the time to meet with us in his own time to make sure we and Rex were comfortable, which we really appreciated. Rex can be a little reactive at times but Grant handled him perfectly. It was clear from the start he was confident, experienced and understood how to manage him in a calm positive way. After the walk we were updated with photos and how it went which gives us a piece of mind. We would highly recommend Grant to anyone looking for a caring, professional dog walker!”
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’m new to Rover as a sitter, but I’m really excited to start taking care of people’s pets. I’ve looked after animals since I was young and began pet sitting for family and friends when I was around 12. Over the years I’ve gained experience with walking, feeding, bathing, and keeping pets’ spaces clean. I’m confident with animals of all sizes and temperaments. I’ve cared for everything from gentle Great Danes to tiny snakes, so I’m not easily intimidated. I genuinely love working with animals and I’m looking forward to meeting new pets and their people. I’m currently in my off-season from work, so I’m completely free and flexible until February. Pet care fits easily into my routine because I spend my time playing rugby, seeing family and friends, and working on personal skills, so I have plenty of availability throughout the week. Since my schedule is wide open, I can offer reliable care, regular check-ins, and lots of attention for your pets whenever you need it. When I’m caring for pets in someone’s home, I focus on keeping their routine consistent and their environment safe. I always follow any instructions you leave, including feeding times, walk schedules, and any house rules your pet is used to. I make sure doors and gates are secure, keep an eye on anything they might get into, and give them plenty of attention so they feel relaxed while you’re away. I’m clean, respectful of your space, and make sure everything is left as I found it. I also send regular updates and photos so you know your pet is happy and in good hands.
About: Hi I’m new to Rover but have over 20 years experience of looking after my own and clients’ dogs. I will treat your dogs just like my own, ensuring they receive unique and appropriate care whilst they are with me. I appreciate all dogs are so different and will go the extra mile to make them feel safe in my home. Having had many dogs into old age, senior dogs are perhaps a speciality of mine. I am unphased by larger breeds as I currently have a Romanian shepherd dog aged 1. She is very friendly and loves the company of other dogs. I live 5 minutes walk from the beach at Greenan Shore and just a 5 minute drive to the two beautiful local parks. The safety of your pets is paramount, I will only walk off lead with your written permission. As I have a 10 year old son, I can only take pets who are completely safe with children. My son also knows not to over pet a dog and respect space having had a very tricky rescue dog of our own in the past for many years. I am fully insured by Cliverton Pet Insurance. I work mainly from home so your pets will not be left unattended for more than 3 hours. If you have specific requests I will discuss these fully with you. I have an enclosed, private fenced garden. There is also plenty of room in the house for your pet to roam around freely. I live in a quiet, safe neighbourhood.

“Tayler is an absolute dream! She looked after my wee Yorkie on my wedding day coming to get him from the venue and walking him and checking in on him every couple of hours. She was perfect all day and did not try to contact us at all unless we contacted her for pictures, so as not to “annoy” us on our big day. I must have messaged her a million times before the day and she got back to be everytime. Nothing was ever a bother. I would never use anyone else”
About: 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.

“It was total peace of mind having Natalie walking Skye whilst I was away for a short break. Natalie took time to meet Skye beforehand and get to know her likes and dislikes. I was kept updated each day including pictures. Skye thoroughly enjoyed herself with Natalie. I would definitely book Natalie again in the future.”

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.
About: I love all dogs - big and small! I grew up with dogs - a German short haired pointer and an Italian Spinone, as well as lots of other lovely dogs in my extended family too. I now have a three year old cocker spaniel called Juno. She is well trained and very sociable with all dogs and she loves to have other dogs to stay! I’m happy to work on any training needs your dog has while staying with me. I work from home 2 or 3 days a week. I tend to take Juno for one longer (1+ hours) walk per day as well as a couple of short trips to the park. I can adjust this depending on your dog - longer/more adventurous for energetic dogs and shorter/more gentle walks for older or slower dogs. We love to go down to Portobello, round Arthur’s Seat and up to Blackford Hill. I live on my own and have a 2 year old cocker spaniel. She is very friendly and gets on with all dogs - but also knows when to leave dogs that don’t want to play with her! I will only ever take one dog at a time so it will only ever be the two dogs together. I have a secure shared garden with grass lawn and surrounding stone wall. In the house, your dog can make itself at home. I have dog beds in both rooms and they are also welcome to be on the sofa/armchairs. I’ve got lots of dog toys and chews. My flat is on the third floor so may not be suitable for older dogs with mobility/joint issues.
