“Zach was lovely to communicate with and meet. Dexter took to him immediately. He was knowledgeable, asked questions about Dex and I instantly had a good feeling about him. The sit went great. Zach followed all instructions and sent me some lovely photos. Hoping that Dex has made a new friend to share company with again.”

About: I’ve had dogs now for almost 12 years! I have two gorgeous cockapoos called Finn and Max who are 11 and 7. I have been to training classes with both and spend most of my free time walking them and hanging out with them even though they live back at my mums! I work as a teacher so have set days and hours and can use my evenings as I wish. I also have 13 weeks holidays during the year that I want to put to better use! I would fully respect my client and their cats home, ensuring a safe and comfortable space at all times. Rooms and doors would be carefully monitored to ensure the cat remained where he/she should be. I use positive reinforcement and lots of play time to keep them busy and happy!

About: I am available at short notice and can do weekends, Mon-Thurs after 4:30 and fridays after 3. 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 8:30-4:30pm and Friday 8:30-3pm. I can do early mornings, evenings & potentially lunch visits on these days. 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”
“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: Bespoke 1 to 1 dog boarding by the Sea. A calm, loving home-from-home by the coast, offering individual attention, relaxed routines and lovely seaside walks. No busy kennels or lots of unfamiliar dogs. I get to know the owner and dog before boarding so all your dogs needs are catered for. Dogs are part of the family while staying and allowed to wander, relax on the sofa and sleep in the bedroom. So if your dog is nervous, thrives in a quieter environment away from stress and triggers, requires medication or a special diet they will get all of that in my home. I’ve had my own dogs for 35 yrs and recently lost my boy. I struggled to find anywhere for him that I was happy with as he had his own special needs even since a puppy. I don’t want another dog full time now as I’m 60 and both my kids live abroad so I want the freedom now to travel but while In Scotland can give a lot of love to your dog. I decided there was a gap in the market that maybe I should fill. Kennels or home boarding alongside multiple dogs seems to be all that’s on offer. If your pooch is pampered then let me pamper them for you. I live a 2 min walk to the beach so they will love their holiday as much as you will knowing you can relax and they are happy here. If you’d like to chat more to see if we are the right fit pls message me. I currently work from Home so am available all day. I have several days off per week also so plenty time to spend cuddling your fur baby. I offer 2 walks per day and lots of cuddles and play time. I offer a 121 bespoke service to each owner so that I can tailor my service to your dogs needs. I have no other pets and only take 1 dog at a time so you can relax knowing your pet is getting all of my attention. I do not let dogs off lead under my supervision unless their recall is excellent and I’m confident in their surroundings.
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 🥰
About: Growing up I have always been surrounded with dogs and other animals and have absolutely loved taking care of them . Unfortunately now due to my job as Cabin crew I’m unable to have a dog of my own full time as it’s not fair to a dog to be out the country as much as I am. That is why I would really love to help take care your pets in my free time from work which is very flexible month to month ! Whether that be dog walking or house sitting I can’t fit in with the best needs of you and your fluffy loved ones. With my schedule at work I have a lot of free days through the month . And I will update my calendar on here regularly so that you are always aware of my availability. I’m more than happy to fit around your dogs needs and wants with regards to outside walks and house sits which we can discuss when booking.
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 had both cats and dogs all throughout my life and I have plenty of experience looking after animals. I regularly look after my family and friends pets and I love having a furry companion by my side. I live in a house with a large garden with lots of room to play and all animals are welcome on our sofas and bed if that's where they are most comfortable. Also, if you'd rather we kept them off furniture to keep consistent with training at home then I'm more than happy to follow your rules. I work from home full time so I have plenty of availability and I'll be around to keep your dog company, with lots of stimulation and walks. I'm comfortable with large dogs and will do my very best to accommodate any special requests or concerns you might have. Excited to meet your furry best friend! 🐈🐶 I work from home full-time self employed so I'd love a furry companion or two to keep me company! I'm available for day sits, nights & holidays and I'm able to accommodate for as many walks needed. I'd love to keep you updated regularly about how your pet is doing with pictures and texts ☺️ happy to listen to any requests or concerns you have.
About: I have moved into a new house in April 2026 there is 7acres we are working on to make it into a dog run and fun place for dogs to stay.

You will receive updates with videos and messages everyday to show how much fun they’re having. Finally moved into my new property I have full time availability. This will provide the dogs with a fun place to run free and interact. All booking are individual to the dog please enquire. Our service is tailored to your puppy ensuring they have the best time with us. Check out our Facebook Dugzonthego
“Aileen is a very thoughtful, mindful and motivated pet sitter, with a genuine heart and compassion around animals She is a natural with my dog, and has brilliant communication skills. I received updates and photos throughout, and I felt comfortable and confident that my dog was well looked after, was shown lots of love and cuddles and looked very happy. I came back from a work trip and my boy was happy, content and relaxed I would highly recommend Aileen, and would absolutely use her again”

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!

“From the minute we met Amy we felt reassured she took the time to ask questions, get to know our pets and gave us the opportunity to ask questions. My dogs instantly fell in love with her. She communicated with us throughout her stay, sent photos. Our house was kept clean and tidy and she even went the extra mile and washed the bedding. We really hope Amy will come back next time we are away and highly recommend her. Thank you Amy 🫶”

“Megan looked after our Yorkie and Pekingese dogs over a few days, she was so lovely and very reliable. The dogs were walked each day and seemed so relaxed when we returned. We would definitely use her again and recommend her to anyone. Thank you Megan.”


“Jennifer is just THE BEST. We booked her to stay in our home with our dog, a staffie named Ringo, for two weeks and we could not have asked for a better experience. She visited us not once but twice (at our request) prior to the booking to ensure we were confident and comfortable. Ringo had the time of his life with Jennifer. She took him on so many walking adventures – and she provided photos and videos of them every single day. Ringo says she was a magnificent cuddler, too. In the past, we kennelled him at a “luxury” kennel but we worried about how much time he was spending alone. It always put a damper on our trips away as we worried about him and this time, we had no worries at all. Jennifer communicated with us multiple times each day. There were a couple of unexpected events (power outage for one) and Jennifer handled them with grace. We were relaxed and happy because we knew Ringo was, too.”

“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%.”
“We were very happy with Denise. When we came home the house was spotless and everything was in order. More importantly, our 4 month old puppy had obviously had a lovely time with Denise and seemed calm and relaxed. We would be happy to use Denise again.”

The median cost per night for house sitting in South Ayrshire is £30

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!!

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.

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 September 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 September 2026, there are 576 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.
