Heather has been fantastic with our wee Idris. She is diligent, caring, consistent, very calm, and loving. It’s such a relief knowing we can trust her with our boy, and know he’s in great hands, each and every time. Thank you Heather!

About: I work well with animals of all ages and always try hard to meet their specific needs, whether that involves high-energy playtime for pets or patient, gentle support for senior pets who need extra comfort. Having looked after the pets of friends and family, I come highly recommended as a reliable sitter who treats every animal like my own. I am comfortable following strict feeding schedules, administering basic medication, and providing the consistent attention your pets deserve while you are away. I work full-time, but I am fully available on Monday and Wednesday mornings, as well as throughout the weekends for longer sits and adventures. With a little advance notice, I am also happy to provide lunchtime visits for quick walks or check-ins. I genuinely love being outdoors in the fresh air, so walking your pets fits perfectly into my lifestyle. Whether it’s an energetic morning hike or a midday stretch, I’ll ensure your animals get the exercise and attention they need to stay happy and healthy. When caring for pets in your home, their safety and the security of your property are my top priorities. I start every stay with a Meet & Greet to walk through your specific routines, home security (like alarm codes or key placement), and any 'off-limits' areas. During my visits, I ensure all gates and doors are double-checked and locked. I follow your household rules strictly to maintain a consistent environment for your pets, reducing their stress while you’re gone. You can expect regular photo updates and messages after our walks or feedings so you have total peace of mind that your home is secure and your pets are happy, healthy, and well-cared for.

We are very happy with Charlotte’s services and will definitely continue working with her, as she regularly looks after our puppy, Millie. She is a very respectful, reliable young lady who is extremely gentle, caring, and patient with Millie. She is also always very punctual, which we really appreciate. It gives us real peace of mind knowing Millie is in such good hands. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, dependable, and genuinely caring to look after their pet.

I booked with Jennifer as a last minute request as I couldn’t find anyone to check my gerbils during the Christmas period. Jennifer was not only able to accommodate to this, but was super professional and made sure I could leave at easy, being super nervous about leaving my girls alone for the first time. I would definitely recommend her and Susan and Roberta will be happy to be looked after by her again.

About: ** New to this app, Happy to do a meet a greet before hand to make sure I am a good fit for you, or alternatively please reach out message or phone call** I’ve had dogs since the age of 6. I’ve always been an avid animal lover. From school I worked in a veterinary practice as an assistant for a few years before going off to study at university. I’ve had 4 dogs and 2 cats. All of them I have treated like my children. Currently I work longer days on Monday-Thurs which doesn’t allow me to have a pet of my own. However I do have availability on Friday - Sunday and if given notice I would happy take requests that are outwith these days as I love the aspect of caring for an animal. Please reach out to me if you have any questions and il be so happy to board your furry babies! I have availability at weekends and every second Friday. I don’t have many plans at the weekend as I like to potter around go for walks visit cafes and new places. I would adore a pet of my own but because of my longer days it isn’t feasible at this time, which is why I want to do Rover. I would love to spend time with animals and give them the attention and trust they deserve! As an avid animal lover I have worked in a veterinary practice and have also volunteered at the dog and cat shelter. I own my home in a lovely quiet neighbourhood with no traffic. I have my own back garden which is high fenced and gets the sunshine all day as it’s south facing. I live in a town where there are lots of fields and lots of trails to take your doggies out for long walks, I also enjoy taking my brothers dogs out to surrounding beaches as they love the ocean and running on the sand. I enjoy meeting up with friends who have dogs and we go to cafes to get coffee and of course the dogs come too. I live along and keep my warm cosy quiet and a perfect environment for those little ones that are extra timid.

About: I have been surrounded by dogs from an early age, and caring for them has been a consistent part of my life. My family entrusted me with their care, which gave me extensive experience in handling a variety of breeds. Over the years, I have taken responsibility for feeding, walking, bathing, and providing overall care, ensuring each dog’s well-being to the best of my ability. I currently work part-time, and studying Law at Strathclyde University. My part-time hours mean that I work every Friday, in office which means this is the only day I am unable to look after any dogs. My University timetable is extremely flexible, where I may only be in 1 or 2 hours per day. Every morning I wake up and walk my own dog, making sure he gets big runs and all of his energy out for that morning. After this, I love to take him to the coffee shop where he will always get a pup cup! I will then make sure he is walked at night, and showered if need be before I make sure he’s super cosy for the rest of the night! He has his food and water out all day long, meaning he is able to nudge the door open and get to his food whenever he wishes to do so. He also gets let out for the toilet every 2 hours maximum. I live in a flat, however it is ground floor, with a fenced back garden where it is not possible for any dogs to escape! I love to make sure our pets are nice and cosy, with a place on the sofa with a little blanket for them to lie on, and lots of cosy cuddles! I love to bathe dogs and get them all nice and clean, with a special towel for them to dry on!

Pauline took care of my cat, Bleu, for several months and was absolutely wonderful. She was always reliable, flexible, and incredibly helpful, which gave me real peace of mind. Bleu is very selective with people, so the fact that he adored her speaks volumes. I’m truly grateful for the care and attention she gave him and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.

I was very happy with the Rover drop-in Service that Pauline provided and felt that my cats , TC (Topcat), Nora and Pudding were very well looked after during my holiday. TC found her knee for cuddles and Nora happy to be petted. Pudding is a little shy, however still posed for the group dinning photos. Really enjoyed receiving the daily postcards and photos. Would definitely recommend Pauline and will have her look after my cats again should the need arise. Many thanks Pauline ☺️ Donna
