“Alfie had a great couple of days with Kim. At first he was a little nervous and had a little toilet accident (he gets like that when nervous) but Kim called me straight away to let me know she had to bath him etc and to make sure he was ok, he settled in nicely after. Was giving plenty cuddles and kisses. I would 1000000% recommend Kim to anyone. She is so nice and gives you little updates throughout the day. Alfie had a great time. She took them to the dog park the next morning, he loves it there. Also kept him an extra night as something popped up, was at such short notice too. Thanks again, appreciate it so much ❤️”
“Absolutely delighted with Hector's care, Helena was fabulous and bonded straight away with Hector. I would happily leave my dog anytime with Helena, she is friendly, professional and went above and beyond with looking after my boy. Top rating x”

“Poppy stayed with Moya for 8 nights while we had a family holiday. I felt at ease leaving her with Moya as she is kind and treats the dogs like family. We came home to a very content little dog. Thank you to Moya for taking care of our girl and will definitely be in touch for any future travels!!”
“Koko and his family were absolutely wonderful! They kept us updated regularly, and it was clear our dog was having the best time. They respected his routine, adapted to his individual needs, and cared for him with so much love and attention. Seeing how happy and relaxed he was gave us complete peace of mind. This was our dog’s very first stay away from us since we rescued him, and it couldn’t have gone better. It was obvious that he enjoyed every single moment with them. We can only recommend Koko and his family!”
“A superb, reliable and really friendly person to look after your dog. We've used Kaelan a few times now and trust him completely to look after our dog. He communicates excellently which is also incredibly reassuring”
About: I’m a proud dog mum to Rosie, my friendly 3-year-old Cavapoo, who loves the company of other dogs and gets along well with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I regularly care for dogs in my home and understand how important it is to provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment while owners are away. I have a spacious three-bedroom home with a secure, fully fenced garden, as well as plenty of beautiful local walks nearby to keep your dog happy, active, and well cared for. Your dog will be treated as part of the family and receive lots of attention, affection, and exercise during their stay. Dogs are allowed on all furniture and we have no children in our home. It tends to just be myself at home as my partner works offshore. Dog care fits naturally into my daily routine as I work from home full-time and manage my own diary, which gives me plenty of flexibility to provide attention, companionship, walks, and toilet breaks throughout the day. My partner works away regularly, so it’s usually just me and my friendly Cavapoo, Rosie, at home. Rosie loves having canine company and enjoys playing in our secure garden as well as exploring the many lovely local walks nearby. This means your dog will never be left alone and will be treated as part of our family during their stay I have a secure, fully fenced garden and a very dog-friendly home where dogs can relax, play, and feel comfortable. I have experience caring for puppies as young as 14 weeks old, as well as adult dogs of different breeds and personalities. My home is calm, safe, and welcoming, with no children or other pets apart from my Cavapoo Rosie. I always aim to provide a loving environment where dogs feel settled, secure, and part of the family.
“I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter. From the very start, communication was clear, friendly, and reassuring, which immediately put me at ease. It was obvious how much genuine care and affection was given, and my dog was happy, relaxed, and clearly well looked after when i returned. I especially appreciated the updates, photos, and little messages, which meant so much while I was away. It’s great knowing you can leave your pet with someone who treats them like their own. Reliable, kind, and completely trustworthy — I would recommend to anyone looking for a wonderful dog sitter and will definitely be booking again.”
“Ralph had a great time with Kwai and his family. We got regular updates and photos, great communication. He came back tired which is always a sign of a happy dog, thank you again Kwai 😃”
“Mark & sandra are great our dog had such a good time with them for 16 days! Our first time ever leaving him for more than a few days and we got loads of pictures and updates the entire time. Our dog looked so happy and we were at ease knowing he was having fun!”
“Definitely recommend Yun. She is very friendly and give us regular updates. Vito is always happy. She lives nearby and she always replies quickly. I will definitely use her again.”
“Fester had a lovely stay with Adele, she took exceptional care of him and accepted all of his special quirks and needs. As an older dog he is quite particular and she accommodated everything perfectly. Fester came home happy, bouncy and rested - we will definitely be using Adele again for Fester sitting!”
“Riley was so well looked after over Christmas. Anna took great care to meet up twice beforehand to get to know Riley and welcomed him into her home like he was one of her own. We received daily photos and updates of different walking places. Riley really took to Anna. Thanks Anna for taking such great care of Riley. I would definitely recommend Anna to anyone wanting a home from home experience for their dog.”
“Paula was very accommodating, accepting my booking quite last minute (few days before) and was flexible about pick up and drop off times. She came to pick up Beau with her dog so they got to meet and continued to send me picture updates while I was away. Beau was crying after he got dropped off which is always a good sign he had a good time/ became attached. Will definitely use Paula again for short term dog sitting!”
“Lesley was absolutely fantastic. My two dogs are a bit of a handful and she welcomed them with opened arms nothing was an issue. We got regular updates with pictures which we loved and really put our minds at ease. Would definitely recommend Lesley to anyone looking for a doggy sitter”
“Tommy absolutely loved his time with Megan, infact he didn't want to leave, Megan provided updates and pic's of his overnight stay and I felt totally relaxed leaving Tommy for the night, will deffinetly be using Megan again and Tommy cant wait for the next time. Would 100% recommend Megan to anyone looking for a dog sitter.”
“I cannot recommend Dionne highly enough!! It’s a huge deal for me to leave my dog with anyone but I feel totally comfortable leaving him with Dionne. She is the most thoughtful and considerate dog sitter you could wish for and I feel totally secure in the knowledge that she looks after our dog the way that we do. Her photos, videos and little updates are funny, thoughtful and reassuring. I would honestly have no qualms in recommending this wonderful person to look after your precious fur baby!!! McCoy is looking forward to his next visit already!! 🐶🥰🐶”

Francesca was able to take our dog for a last minute booking for a long weekend after we had been let down with another sitter. Communication was great, she asked lots of questions about our dogs' likes and dislikes before his stay. She sent lots of pictures throughout his stay and plenty of updates. He's a reactive dog and can be nervous on walks but Francesca got on great with him. Wouldn't hesitate to book our dog in again with her 🧡
Katie looked after Miso for a second time this past weekend and everything was great again. He apparently dragged my partner up the stairs to see Katie when he realised where he was! Katie sent us photos and updates, it’s great to know we have such a reliable sitter for Miso.
Wow! Could not be more grateful impressed or recommend more highly! Kim and her husband Ali took the very best care of my nervous pup and treated her to so much love attention and adventures. They took her to a specialist dog park and were playing and chasing with her going above and beyond! I made the booking with a few hours notice for an overnight stay and Kim was so kind and gracious about every step, very understanding and sent loads of updates. Roxy was spoilt with cuddles affection and attention and had the best sleepover party ever - thank you both I feel so lucky to have found you!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in South Lanarkshire on Rover is £34.5 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Finding the right boarding environment is all about peace of mind. Boarding with a sitter on Rover helps you find a cosy experience in a real home for your dog.
When searching for a host, look for a sitter who:
- Offers a secure, home-like environment that is clean and welcoming
- Adheres to your dog’s established routine for meals, activity, and rest
- Possesses relevant experience with your pet’s specific breed, size, and personality
- Maintains clear communication regarding the frequency of photo and message updates
Don’t skip the Meet & Greet! The free Meet & Greet is the best way to see where your dog will sleep and who they might play with.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog's vaccines is the best way to be 'boarding ready'. Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Sitters in Scotland may request that your dog be up-to-date on core vaccines, such as Canine Distemper, Canine Parvovirus, Canine Adenovirus (also known as DHP or DHPPi), Leptospirosis and Kennel Cough. Cats may be required to have Feline Panleucopenia Virus, Feline Herpesvirus, Feline Calicivirus, and Feline Leukaemia Virus up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog, 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.
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 .
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 dog to the closest vet. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
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.
We require sitters to operate in compliance with applicable local licensing requirements. In England, pet sitters who board dogs or provide doggy day care as a business may need a valid licence under the Animal Welfare (Licensing of Activities Involving Animals) Regulations 2018. When vetting your sitter, ask if they meet local licensing requirements for dog boarding. This confirmation is important for coverage under the Rover Guarantee. Read more about our requirement for following local licensing requirements .
