Colette was a perfect sitter for our puppy while we were out for an evening! It was his first time being away from us so we were a bit nervous to leave him but Colette reassured us he would be fine. She was very kind and understanding of him being a little fussy while we left, and kept us updated while we were away which help us to not worry so much!

Zoe looked after our dog and 2 cats in our home while we were away from Tuesday to Thursday. We would highly recommend Zoe, she was happy to conduct meet and greet before we left to make sure it was going to be a good fit for all. She turned up when agreed and took great care of them all and stayed in touch and sent frequent photos. On our return all three pets were settled, happy and were clearly taken well care of. Even our little female cat who is timid and usually hides up stairs had been down sitting on her knee and sleeping on top of her. Would definitely book again and would recommend. Our house was neat and tidy when we returned you'd never know there had been someone here, was exactly as we has left it.

Bridget really helped us out at short notice when we were visiting Glasgow. Our dogs took to her immediately and we felt after meeting her that we were leaving them in good hands. Her communication was excellent and it was lovely to get some pics of updates during her stay. Bridget was very flexible to meet our needs and would highly recommend.

About: I have always been around dogs my whole life, including at home, growing up with big dogs such as German shepards, New Foundlands, and currently a Cane Corso. I have also looked after many of my family members dogs, walking and playing with them! I had the pleasure of walking dogs last summer through rover which gave me amazing experience which I am grateful for! Im currently a student who has finished for the summer and working part time, therefore I have some free time to walk dogs throughout the week. From my experience last year walking and drop in visits through rover I can’t wait to be with dogs again now I have much more free time! I love being active and since I now live away from home and my dog, I would love to be able to have experience and be with other dogs! I’m aware many people don’t have a lot of free time to be able to provide the exercise for the dog they need due to work and commitments which is why I have decided to start getting involved. I am always very safe when with a dog, being aware of there needs, recognising body language and thorough in making sure I know about the dog I will be walking, such as their tendencies and likes and dislikes. It’s important for me that dogs get to have fun and be active.

Rick was fantastic with our dog. She can be unsure of people at first, but he was calm, patient, and really tuned into her, which made all the difference. He stuck to her routine exactly as we had asked and kept us updated throughout, giving us real peace of mind. Would highly recommend and will definitely book again.

About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs on and off for a little over ten years. This includes seniors, kittens, some puppies, and even a cat with no eyes. I cannot drive at the moment as I don’t have a UK license but am working on that! I’m looking to work part-time, preferably no weekends (unless of course I’m watching a pet in their own home) Just looking to bring in extra income I cannot care for pets in my own home as my border collie does not get along with other dogs or cats :( But I’m great!

About: I have experience with many different types of dogs and been an owner to a dog for 11 years. I love spending time with animals and Dog walking is a passion of mine. Moreover , as a precious dog owner I know how to take good care of dogs, feeding and bathing them. I am a student, so dog walking will have to work around my time table. During the week evenings should work, and the weekend at anytime. However, this will be confirmed shortly. As a previous dog owner , I know what it takes to keep a dog entertained during dog sitting. I have looked after many family friends dogs and have enjoyed it thoroughly

Austin was a great person to look after my two dogs. They took great care to come and meet me and them before they came to stay in my house. They were careful in making sure they understood all about their foibles and needs and were super friendly. They also sent regular photos and videos which was really great - both dogs looked really happy and relaxed. Will definately use again and would recommend 🐾🐾🙂

Leah is a fantastic dog sitter! Dougie our Westie, loved her and trusted her instantly! We were anxious about leaving our dog with someone who wasn’t family but Leah put all our worries to ease. Leah has great experience working with animals, you can tell she has a passion for taking care of them. She showed up on time and treated our home with the upmost respect. Leah done a meet and greet a few days beforehand and took the time to learn about Dougie. We look forward to using Leah’s services again. Would recommend. Thanks Leah, for treating Dougie like your own. Hopefully we see you soon.

Came home to four very chill animals, house was spotless and she had even stripped the bed (above and beyond haha)! Communication was regular, lots of photos and updates, which I really appreciate. Thanks Diane, very much a trusted sitter ⭐

About: Hi, my name is Katie and I'm currently a full time, freelance musician based in Dennistoun, Glasgow. I am also an avid outdoors enthusiast and love being outside in nature. Most importantly, I am hugely passionate about animals and their care and welfare. Ever since I was young, my family had pets-mostly cats, but we also had a dog at one point and some goldfish. From a very young age, I've had experience of caring for and taking care of animals. Over the years, I have also looked after and cared for pets within my family and my partner's family, when they have been on holiday; this has included cats, chihuahuas, a hamster and a Border Collie. I often take my Mum's dog out for walks and will also care for him when she is needing help. I have extensive experience in dog walking, as well as in general animal care and welfare, but I've also had some experience in administering medication, grooming and cleaning etc. Mostly, I just love looking after pets, it brings me a lot of joy, happiness and contenment. I''m currently a full time, freelance musician based in Dennistoun, Glasgow. I sing and play keys in my wedding band, as well as a soloist, playing weddings, events, functions, bars, pubs, restaurants and care homes all over Scotland. This mainly takes place during the weekends, mostly the evenings. However, I can also have daytime and weekday gigs, although not as regularly. I mostly have availability during the week/weekdays. However, I do also have weekend availability from the morning to the afternoon. I wouldn't be able to look after any pets in my home as my landlord is allergic. However, in the pet owner's home, I will always ensure safety, care and the wellbeing of the pets are maintained. I will always adhere to the owner's instructions and ensure the utmost care is taken. I always show respect towards the owner's requests and will only do what I am asked to do. The wellbeing of the animals are hugely important to me and I always strive to maintain this.

About: Hi! 👋🏼 I'm Dionne! - Your dogs new best friend! Dogs have been at the centre of my world for years, and now caring for them is what I do full-time.🐶💖 I'm a very friendly, loving and caring person. I love to uplift people who are around me, as it makes me happy seeing others happy and seeing the passion that comes out of people when you support them in doing what they love. - I love animals too, Especially dogs! Dogs hold a special place in my heart, they are such wonderfully social creatures, and I adore getting to know all their unique personalities. I pride myself on creating a safe, loving experience where your pup feels supported, comfortable, and truly cared for. Whether it’s walks, play, or just being a calm, reassuring presence, I’m dedicated to making your dog’s time with me as happy as possible. I don't have a dog of my own, but I'd absolutely be honoured to take your dog out on one of my walking adventures or have them stay over, for as long as you'd like. Just let me know which service you'd like, and I'll most likely be available to help you. -------------------------------------- 💖 A personal note: On my profile, you’ll see photos of two very special boys — Star (The whippet) and McCoy (The Lhasa apso) — Who both hold a permanent place in my heart. 🌟 Star was a very happy whippet and my very first Rover booking. We became best friends instantly, and I was lucky enough to see him regularly. Always asking for sausages (even after I’d already given him two!), he brought so much joy to our walks, occasional playful moments, and cuddle sessions. Star didn’t play much, being an older boy, but every moment with him was special — from him running up the stairs to greet me, to his sweet little whippet face. He passed away on 03/08/23 at 5:00 pm, and although my heart broke hearing the news, I’m forever grateful for the bond we shared. Star will always be a cherished part of my Rover journey. 🐾 McCoy was one of my first regular bookings and quickly became my wee best pal. A quiet soul, he’d come for affection on his own terms, sometimes joining me on the couch before toddling off to curl up in his bed like the cosiest wee boy. He had his playful moments too, especially after a good walk, and I’ll always remember his gentle, comforting presence. Both Star and McCoy left paw prints on my heart that will never fade. Though they’re no longer here, the love and memories we shared will live on forever. 🌈❤️ -------------------------------------- Caring for dogs isn’t just something I do — it’s my daily routine and my full-time passion. 🐾 I'll try to go out of my way as much as possible to help you with whichever dates you'd prefer ✌🏻❤️ Your pup will be treated like family here: ✨ A safe, loving home where they can feel comfortable ✨ Plenty of walks, play, and cuddles tailored to their personality ✨ Regular photo & video updates so you always feel connected I enjoy making you happy, allowing you to comfortably leave your best friend in my hands, where you'll receive regular video and photo updates as much as you'd like and being able to show you that your best friend is being loved and cared for as if they were my own. I appreciate each and every one of my clients, and I especially appreciate my regular clients who allow me to regularly have fun with their but now, also my best friend, due to their regular bookings. I'm happy to now be your full time Fairy Dogmother, Haha! 🌸 Why pet parents choose me: Because I go beyond basic care. I take the time to get to know your dog — their quirks, comforts, and even anxieties. If your pup has special needs, I’ll work with you to make sure they’re supported every step of the way. Every booking is personal to me, and many of my clients have become like extended family — their dogs are just as excited to see me as I am to see them. That bond means everything. 💖 📸 A little extra: I studied photography in college, so capturing your dog’s personality is one of my favourite parts of the job. Clients often tell me how much they love the photos I take — some have even framed them for their walls! Knowing those memories mean so much to you makes my heart so happy. I love sharing the joy these pups bring into my life, and I’d love for you to be part of it too. 💖 Search "Dionne’s Dogs" on Facebook and follow along for updates, sweet photos, and plenty of wagging tails. 🐾📸 🏡 Safety, Trust & Environment Your dog’s safety and happiness always come first. I provide a secure, fenced home where I live with my mum that has plenty of space for play and rest. And because I don’t have a dog of my own, your pup gets my undivided love and attention. There are a few grassy areas near me where I like to take dogs and let them have a good run around. I also make sure to learn about each dog’s individual needs — whether it’s special care, anxieties, or just their favourite daily routine — so they feel at home and fully supported.

About: With 15 years of my own dog (sadly passed 2 years ago) I now petsit a little adorable white dog and it just brings me so much joy and company in my house that I want to get more pet friends. Their is a dog park right across the road from my house where I usually throw a ball round with dogs twice a day, I also try to get out to Strathclyde park or around eurocentral for a long walk to tire us all out. I currently work part time so I have a flexible schedule that I can work around to suit the dogs needs and ensure they are getting exercised first thing in the morning, lunch time, afternoon and evening. I love to talk to dogs, sounds crazy but I live alone so company would be nice when im home. I keep treats in the house but treats and food are discussed with you to ensure I dont overstep.

Maia was absolutely wonderful, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. From the very first message, she was warm, responsive, and incredibly communicative, which immediately put me at ease. She arrived right on time and took such thoughtful, attentive care of Sunny. She made sure he had a lovely walk, plenty of affection, and lots of cuddles, all the things that matter so much to me when trusting someone with him. When we returned home, Sunny was completely relaxed and content, which spoke volumes. It was clear he had a genuinely lovely time and had been cared for with kindness and attention throughout. I am extremely selective about who looks after Sunny, he is not just my dog, he is my lifeline and deeply precious to me and Maia exceeded every expectation. If you are in the Glasgow area and looking for someone truly trustworthy, kind, and reliable, I would wholeheartedly recommend Maia. If she is available, don’t even think twice, just book her. She is absolutely fantastic.

Róisín and Edward were lovely with my two dogs from our first meeting until the end of the week-long dogsitting arrangement. This was the first time I left Axel and Hawk for longer than a few days with someone new, while leaving the country. However, I felt relaxed as Róisín and Edward made sure to send me photos of happy dogs on walks and at home, and asked me questions if they were unsure of something (which I always appreciate!).

First time using this service and of course meeting Pauline. Was so impressed! Pauline came to meet us and Snickers prior to the stay and we were more than happy and comfortable to go off on our holiday weekend and leave Snickers in Pauline’s very capable hands. During the time Pauline kept us updated on how Snickers was doing and sent lots of lovely pics of his gorgeous walks. He even met a new friend and seemed to have a lovely break himself while we were away. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Pauline and will certainly be booking her again in the future. Thank you so much! It was a relief and allowed us to enjoy our time away without worrying about how wee Snickers was doing without us.

Mollie watched our 2 dogs and did a great job. Our youngest dog can be very anxious and Mollie gave him his space and time to get used to things. It was a fairly short notice booking and Mollie was super responsive to messages in the lead up and during the house sitting. Thank you again

FAQs for House Sitting - South Lanarkshire

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in South Lanarkshire on Rover is £34.5 per night (as of June 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 June 2026, there are 1,022 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across South Lanarkshire. 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 Lanarkshire 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 Lanarkshire 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.
