“Would highly recommend , Pauline went above and beyond to look after our cat. Provided good updates and ‘kind off’ won our stubborn cat around ! She was careful to listen to our instructions regarding our cats care and was friendly and professional. Would definitely use Pauline’s services again and recommend!”
“Lucille was absolutely amazing! Would reccomend her time and time again, we felt so content leaving our fur ball with her. Sabrina absolutely loved her and she couldn’t have done enough for us or been easier to work with. Thank you so much again, would definitely use again in the future 🩷🩷🩷🩷”
“Gabrielle looked after my Alfie for a few days whilst I visited family. She took the booking last minute which I appreciated. Communication was great nothing was a problem, daily updates and pictures from her visits. I have returned and my cat has been well looked after. Would recommend and would use her again!”
“Jenny looked after my cat peaches for a long weekend. She kept me well informed and sent plenty of lovely photos. I can always relax knowing she is being so well looked after 😊”
“Charlotte was great, totally reliable and loving towards our cat. She went above and beyond to care for Daisy. We loved the photos too. We came home to a contented cat. Would highly recommend Charlotte to any pet owner.”
About: · 🏡 Safe & Spacious Environment: I have a secure garden where dogs can run freely, play, and do their business comfortably. · 📸 Daily Updates: I will send you photos and videos every day so you know they are happy and healthy. · ❤️ Personalized Care: I follow your exact feeding and walking schedule to minimize their stress. Hi, I'm Lok Sze! I am a full-time pet sitter and a proud owner of 3 cats and 1 dog. Because I don't have a 9-to-5 job, I can provide 24/7 attentive care and will never leave your pets alone for long periods. Your pets are not just guests; they are family. I am happy to let them sleep with me, just like my own pets do. I have a fully fenced garden where dogs can safely run around and relieve themselves. To ensure everyone's safety and minimize stress, I can completely separate your pets from my own 3 cats and 1 dog. They will have their own dedicated, quiet space to eat, sleep, and relax. If your pet is comfortable, I can also arrange slow, supervised introductions. A clean crate is also available if they prefer their own den.
“Fantastic cat sitter. Lots of photos, videos and can tell she really cares about the cats. Left goodies for the cats too (Elsa is VERY happy about this haha) will use her services again. Thank you 🤩”
About: I am a zoology graduate and have completed multiple animal care placements (SPCA, sos animals). I currently have 2 cats and have grown up taking care of pets. I currently work a zero hour contract job and have plenty of free time to look after pets. I’m flexible and available to work weekends too. I can feed and provide water for pets and spend time petting them and playing with their favourite toys. I can also let them outside safely and supervised.
About: My routine is fairly flexible, so I can work around your cat’s usual feeding and care times. I’m available for drop in visits morning and evening, with being more flexible at weekends. I will always try to keep things as consistent as possible. I know cats like things done a certain way, so I’ll follow their routine and keep everything feeling familiar while you’re away. As a cat mum, I know how important it is to trust the person coming into your home. I’ll always treat your space with respect and make sure your cat feels safe, calm and cared for. I’ll follow everything you’ve asked, keep things clean and secure, and make sure your cat is happy, comfortable and settled while you’re away.
“I am extremely grateful to Zoe for looking after my dog and cat. I had a family weeding and Zoe visited them twice in the day. Zoe's communication before, during and after the visits was excellent and she was super reliable, visiting at the agreed times, feeding and taking my dog out. It was very obvious Zoe is a huge animal lover. Unfortunately my 13 year old dog developed an upset tummy the day before the visit and Zoe refreshed the pads left in case of an accident and kept me constantly updated on what they had eaten etc. Above and beyond and I would 100% recommend and use again. Thank you Zoe 👏👏”
About: If you're looking for someone who treats your furry family like their own (with endless belly rubs and the occasional bit of spoiling), you're barking up the right tree! 🐾 My name is Sam, I'm originally from Italy and I've been living in Glasgow since 2021. I share my home and my life with my partner and our two sweet furry daughters: Ollie, our 3-year-old Golden Retriever, and Zara, our 11-year-old tabby cat. I've grown up around animals and have always had a huge amount of love and respect for them. I'm vegan, because I genuinely love animals in all their shapes and sizes, and caring for them is something that comes naturally to me. I'm active, patient and calm, and I love spending time outdoors, whether that's walking, hiking or simply exploring somewhere new. When I'm looking after a dog, I don't believe in rushing through a walk just to tick a box. I like to take my time, let them sniff and explore, and make sure they get plenty of exercise and mental enrichment along the way. The same goes for cats, I love giving them attention, playtime and plenty of stimulation, while also respecting their space and personality. Having an older cat of my own, I'm also very comfortable with senior pets and understand that they may need a little extra patience, gentleness and care. And having a young, energetic Golden Retriever means I'm no stranger to muddy paws, big personalities and lots of energy! Most importantly, I know how difficult it can be to leave your pets with someone else. I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing that they're safe, happy and being looked after with the same care I'd give my own. Whether your pet wants a long adventure, a gentle stroll, some playtime, a cuddle on the sofa or simply a calm companion while you're away, I'll always do my best to make them feel at home :) I Work from Home all year around so I am quite flexible with my time. I live near Tollcross Park and I'd rather not travel over a 2-3 miles radius however, I'm happy to discuss on a case to case basis :) Safety is my top priority ALWAYS, I will not unleash your dogs unless it's a fenced area and under your permission. I don't let my dog greet STRANGER'S dogs, I always try to be alert and aware of what's around me and prefer to change direction 5 times if I see an unleashed/out of control dog approaching us. I will ALWAYS step ahead and take control of the situation, so that my pup will always feel safe.
About: I have been surrounded by cats, dogs and horses my whole life, looking after pets of all kinds since I was young. At the age of 14 I started working at the dog kennels where I kept my pony and gained invaluable experience working with all breeds and ages making sure they felt as loved and cared for as they do at home. I genuinely love animals and treat every pet like they’re one of my own. I have a flexible schedule so I am happy to adapt to your furry son or daughter’s needs. I am located near local parks, country walks and have a generous garden. I look forward to meeting you and your precious pets soon I’m currently working part time from home. I am at home most of the day and only out from 5-7pm to do my pony in the evening, but your pet will have company with my partner while I am away. I am able to visit your home multiple times a day if necessary. I have a spacious garden and a quiet area for walks with your dog. There is ample space in the house for your dog or cat to roam about and accessible window viewing . At your home I want to keep your pet in their routine as best as possible. Making sure they feel relaxed, safe and comfortable.
“There is no praise high enough to give Rachel. She visited first so our 2 girl Ragdolls could meet her and they took to her straight away. This surprised us as our 1 year old is very timed and is hard to bring round. Chiko was taking treats from her within minutes. Our 8 month old Tiana was lying like a baby in Rachel's arms in no time. Rachel sent photos and videos every day and gave us updates which we were desperate for as it was our first time leaving them. She made sure to put us at ease by keeping in touch and answering our messages quickly. We found Rachel to be organised, professional, reliable, friendly and easy to interact with. The most important thing is our cats loved her and were happy to be with her and play. Rachel has exceeded our expectations and we highly recommend her. We will definitely be asking Rachel to look after Chiko & Tiana whenever we're away.”
About: Not had my own dogs before but have looked after friends previously. Happy to do multiple big walks a day as required and even runs if they like that! I currently work doing workshops in schools which is mostly term time and during the day. Some days there isn’t any work in a school and just working from home one or two days a week I have a large grassy garden for a pet to run around in which is secure. My fiancé and I also regularly take walks in the week and larger walks on the weekend and do love to hike so if your pet enjoys big long walks we can happily get them bagging some munros!
“What an absolute star! Both our girls were looked after so well and the youngest (who is usually scared of everyone and everything) really took to Sanyam, which made it a little easier to be away, knowing she has a new best friend. 🥰 I will absolutely be rebooking Sanyam to watch our wee ones. So accommodating, quick with communication, and of course sent us all the photos and updates!”
“I used the pet sitter service for the first time during my short holiday. I highly recommend Shona. Great contact, daily information about the visit. I will definitely use it again!”

Helen was fantastic dealing with my two cats, one of whom can be a little reluctant to meet new people! Previous visits to catteries have not gone well with my cats, who have been left shaking and petrified, so to have the option of being looked after in their own home is a godsend. Through regular updates,report cards and photos it was obvious both of my cats were getting the up most care and attention leaving us to enjoy a few days away without stressing about our cats.I can't praise Helen highly enough and if you are in need of a pet loving, reliable cat sitter you won't go far wrong booking Helen. We will definitely be using Helen again for future trips, who knows maybe my socially awkward cats will be happy to welcome the cat whisperer back in their home - thanks again to Helen, very much appreciated

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in South Lanarkshire on Rover is £13 per Visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between £10 and £17 per Visit.
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.
There are 726 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in South Lanarkshire. About 92% of South Lanarkshire 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 occurred. 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 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.
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who've never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover, but you're welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you've previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you're booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you'll have a chance to go 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. A Meet & Greet is a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three- or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-in visits, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12.00 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our booking protection will kick in. This means you'll get a full refund and our support team will work 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.
