“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”
“Another wonderful stay for Winnie! Winnie stayed with Koko, YoYo and their children for a week this time at 7 months old. Minute Winnie saw the family again she flew into the house and never looked back. And by the looks of it, the full week was full of love, fun and new experiences with people she just absolutely adores. Communication from Yoyo as always is wonderful and thorough. I was never left guessing about he she was and as I was nervous about her eating, my worries were put to ease daily and we had no problems. This family love my dog. And I can’t ask anymore than that. It’s so clear how much they involve her with their own activities and how they trust her to get involved with their children’s activities and even their own pets. Winnie has had some really wonderful experiences spending time with the family and that’s such invaluable experience for her as she grows. Winnie has another holiday booked here soon. And to be honest, I’ll probably have to book the odd couple of days here and there even when I don’t need it as Winnie just loves them too. She came home a happy dog who missed them for a good couple of days after. Wonderful boarder I am so happy I found them!”
“Penny had a brilliant time with Sam and his family. She did not want to leave! There were lots of photos and a video. She’s smiling in all of them. The communication was great and frequent and Sam answered any questions quickly. She’s already booked back in!”
“Audrey was brilliant with Cookie this week. She was very well cared for and she settled very well. Audrey kept us up to date while we were away. Highly recommended. Will use her again..”
“KAELAN is great with the dogs and knows what they need. He had my 2 daschunds for a week and they came back happy. He kept in regular contact and sent photos to keep us updated. Definitely recommend him.”
“We feel very privileged that we had chosen Moya, to look after Crumble for a weekend. From our first meeting in March she made us feel so at ease and confident about Crumble's welfare. Her home is lovely and we were happy to leave Crumble. Our dogs are not pets they are significant members of our family and it takes a lot of trust to leave them in someone elses care. No issues on that score with Moya, she came across s a real anilmal lover. On our return Crumble looked in great condition, he was very happy and we have nothing but praise for Moya.”
“Mark and his wife were brilliant with Winston. We met before hand to discuss his needs. They sent me updates with pictures when he was with them. Would definitely use them again.”
“Julie is lovely, she had roscoe for a week while I had surgery, sent me updates as well as asked how I was doing, roscoe was well looked after, but I’m glad to have my baby back thank you again x”
“Clare has been absolutely fantastic from the very beginning! She took the time to get to know all of Albert's quirks and habits, making her home feel like a true home away from home for him. Nothing was ever too much trouble for Clare. She kept me updated every step of the way with wonderful daily photos and detailed updates on Albert's exploits. It was so reassuring knowing he was getting his daily exercise at the lovely park nearby and receiving so much care and attention. On top of that, she was incredibly accommodating and flexible with pick-up and drop-off times, which made everything completely stress-free. I would highly recommend Clare to anyone looking for a top-tier dog sitter. We will definitely be using her services again. Thank you so much, Clare!”
“Dean was very welcoming and took care of our dog very well. We are very pleased with his support with Milo while we were away. We will definitely reach out to him in future dog care. Thanks a lot, Dean.”
“Michelle looked after our Lhasa Apso, Benji for 3 weeks whilst we were on our honeymoon . We’ve never left him for that long before and we were nervous to say the least. From the moment we started speaking to Michelle, before drop off, Michelle was so lovely. Benji was very well looked after and this made us feel a lot better. we received lots of updates throughout his stay, which relaxed us more…We won’t hesitate to book Michelle again, highly recommend!”
“Thanks Anna for taking great care of Joy while I was away. I highly recommend Anna, she is reliable, gives regular updates, is accommodating and I felt that I could relax knowing that Joy was been taken care of well.”
“Suzi was very well looked after by Alice. She was a very happy wee dog when she came back to us . Alice was great - communication was fast and we knew Suzi was safe and happy. Couldn’t ask for a better service - thank you so much .”
“I’d give Lesley 10 stars if I could She took care of my 3 months kitten and kept updating me with pictures on how she’s doing every day even without me having to ask :) she was very attentive to my kitten’s needs and made sure she’s a comfortable and a happy kitty I’m sure my Sushi is so keen to go back to Lesley’s”

Zoe is an outstanding dog sitter. We feel very lucky to have come across her profile. We got daily updates and photos and videos. She went the extra mile when a family emergency came up and it was purely out of kindness. We would highly recommend Zoe to ALL dog mums and dads. I can guarantee your four legged babies are in good hands. I will absolutely request for Zoe to look after our boy again. I’m sure he will miss her and be happy to return. Thanks again Zoe. 5 ⭐️
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 🧡

FAQs for Dog Boarding – South Lanarkshire
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in South Lanarkshire on Rover is £34.5 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 Dog Boarding 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .

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 .
