I cannot recommend Zoe enough, such a sweetheart. Can't even put into words how much I appreciate the amazing job she did looking after my two fur babies. Kept me updated the whole time, in fact I had more updates from Zoe than my own mother who was looking after my son while I was away 😂. I will 100% be rebooking if we are ever away without the pups again. Thanks again Zoe, Bear and Delta send you big snuggles.

About: I am available at short notice and can do weekends, Mon-Thurs after 5 and fridays after 12:30. I also drive so can access various locations e.g beaches, parks etc if your pet is ok in the car. Passionate about animals and love nothing more than spending time with them. I work Monday - Thursday 8:30-5pm and Friday 8:30-12:30pm. I can do early mornings, evenings or lunch visits on these days (or after lunchtime on a Friday). Please be aware of this before requesting house sitting if your pet needs someone with them most of the day/all day. However, I am available at weekends. I am flexible to work around your preferences for walking / house sitting. Before accepting house sitting requests, I will ask pictures of facilities e.g where I would be sleeping etc.

I am delighted I had chosen Karen to look after my very petted 17 year-old rescue cat, Clyde. I could tell when she came round to meet him that she had a good way with cats. By the time my ten days away were over, he had decided to share her bed and was quite relaxed and happy when we came home. She had sent photos and kept me informed of how things were going. And she left the house beautifully clean and tidy! I wouldn't hesitate to book her again. Catherine B

About: I grew up having cats and dogs. I’m very passionate about animals, and I've started walking and caring for family friends' dogs when I was 14 years old. I've been working part-time in a dog daycare for 4+ years, and can attend up to 10 dogs at a time by myself. I have achieved multiple certifications and taken courses in dog behaviour, separation anxiety, enrichment and canine first aid. I am reliable, trustworthy and a genuine animal lover. I work part-time and as a freelance, so my calendar is really flexible and have plenty of time to dedicate to pet sitting. I am free most days except Fridays. I live in a very quiet, ground-floor flat, with double glazing. I don't have a garden or balcony, nor direct exits to a main road.

Jessica took excellent care of our older Staffy during her 4-night/5-day stay in our home. He requires medication and had a slight limp (caused by a little too much running on the beach), so he needed a little extra attention and care. Jessica was gentle, attentive, and clearly mindful of his needs throughout. She managed his medications reliably, ensured he was comfortable, and was sensible about taking him for walks when he was up to them. We returned to a happy, relaxed dog. We would be happy to have Jessica care for him again and would confidently recommend her to others.

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: I’ve spent my whole life around dogs, from family pets to working farm dogs and caring for dogs in a dog day care. With a canine first aid certificate and hands-on experience, I provide safe, loving, and expert care that goes above and beyond. I work a 4 on 4 off rota and during my days off, your pups have all my attention! Whether it’s an adventure to the beach or a night in watching movies, I couldn’t think of a better way to spend my time. My house has a large enclosed front and back garden with a fox red crazy lab boy to keep your dog entertained. In your own home, I will respect all wishes and play where your pup is allowed to play!

About: From 5th October - 22nd November 2026 I will be on placement with possible 12hour shift. Please be away of this before enquiring. I have had animals my whole life. Both cats and dogs hold a very large space in my heart. After loosing my partners dog a couple months ago the hole in my heart is definitely needing filled. I love the beach and anything out in the country side. I have a horse so being outdoors is my norm. I’m currently a nursing student looking to gain a little extra money whilst doing something I love. I’d love to house sit within the comfort of your dogs home. Keeping them as comfortable and as settled as possible. I’m a student nurse so during placement I’m not as able to care for your furry friends but outwith that my time is very flexible. I work bank for the NHS Ayrshire and Arran so I chose shifts that fit into my schedule. I will be happy to not pick up shifts when caring for your fur baby. I will follow any care plan you have set. I will cater the needs of your part to how they are cared for by you.

Taya was absolutely fantastic stepping in last minute before I went away on holiday. She went above and beyond and really appreciated everything she did while I was away. Poppy is a very fussy, stubborn dog and not sure of strangers but Taya had sat for poppy before so was pleased I could book her again. I felt happy and confident that poppy was getting on fab while away with all the updates and a surprise that she was eating her food as she is usually stubborn and can go days without eating so I knew that she was very relaxed and comfortable with Taya when she told me she was eating. Absolutely amazing experience with Taya, would recommend 100%.

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. :)

Emilia was the perfect house/pet-sitter for us. Our two dogs Barkley & Elmo along with Rocky the cat can be a handful but she coped ably, provided regular updates and allowed us all to enjoy our holiday in the knowledge that they were well cared for at home. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

I cannot recommend Zoe enough, such a sweetheart. Can't even put into words how much I appreciate the amazing job she did looking after my two fur babies. Kept me updated the whole time, in fact I had more updates from Zoe than my own mother who was looking after my son while I was away 😂. I will 100% be rebooking if we are ever away without the pups again. Thanks again Zoe, Bear and Delta send you big snuggles.

We cannot thank Claire enough for looking after our boy Cooper for 5 nights in our home, she was just amazing !! Claire kept us updated with photos and messages of how he was doing while we were away and went above and beyond looking after him during the very hot weather. She also looked after him for a few hours longer than planned after our flight home was delayed, she completely took any worry or stress away from our trip home by doing this. We cannot recommend Claire highly enough and we will definately want her to look after Cooper again when we are next away. Claire is a lovely peron, very kind, calm and was amazing with our boy. Thank you again so much Claire!!

FAQs for House Sitting - South Ayrshire

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in South Ayrshire on Rover is £33.06 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 561 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across South Ayrshire. Enter your postcode to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:

  • Post & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
  • Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
  • Rubbish & recycling: Taking bins out on scheduled rubbish collection days.
  • Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.

The best time to agree on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a 'home cheat sheet' that includes your preferred South Ayrshire walking routes, the location of your favourite pet shop, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.

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.

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 .

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in South Ayrshire choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a key safe or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

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.

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.

If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest vet. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.

For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorisation form for your regular vet. An authorisation form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.

Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
