“Katie and ready brek got on great with buddy on the meet and greet and then she watched him 2 nights and all was great he seemed to settle in well and i would defo leave him with the 2 of them anytime couldn't be more accommodating thanks Katie”
“Alison was fantastic! I would recommend her to anyone looking for a safe and comfortable environment for their dog. This was the first time we've left our 7-year-old Springer Spaniel with someone who wasn't family. Alison made the whole process really straightforward, kicking off with a FaceTime call the day before just to ensure we all understood what he plan was. We received regular updates which gave us peace of mind throughout the stay. When I picked Kiera up she was happy and chilled. I think we'll definitely be calling upon Alison for her services again!”
“Sophie was amazing looking after our Cavapoo Elmo during our family holiday. Regular updates, photos and peace of mind throughout. Elmo suffers from anxiety and struggles being alone for periods of time, which Sophie was able to accommodate no problem. Highly recommended!”
“Andrew is brilliant! Hana wasn’t terribly well and had an upset tummy, and Andrew looked after her so well. I received regular updates, and he was very understanding. Couldn’t be happier! Will definitely book again!”
“This is the second time our fur baby Dora has stayed with Cristina. She is totally well looked after and love by Cristina, I will definitely be rebooking again. Thank you”
“Bonnie had an overnight with Kirsten while we attended a family gathering. Bonnie settled well and seemed to have enjoyed her stay. Kirsten kept in contact and sent photos to let us know she was happy and settled. Would recommend Kirsten and will consider using her again in the future. *****”
“Alfie had a great time staying with Angela and her family, including their 2 border collies. He was a bit over excited initially and took a wee bit of time to settle. But once he did, he enjoyed going out for walks and running about in the garden with the other dogs. He also like playing with their 2 kids. Angela kept us up to date with how Alfie was doing and sent pics of him out and about enjoying himself.”
“This was our first time using Rover and leaving our little dog with anyone. Isobel was fabulous, she put our mind at rest, sent lots of thoughtful updates and photos. We will definitely use Isobel again.”
“This was Izzy's second stay with Josephine, and again she was very well looked after. Josephine was really flexible too when we had to change the timings of Izzys stay, and her communication was great.”
“Maisie had a great stay and walks with Michelle . I was really confident leaving Maisie with her . I got photos and videos of their activities and her knowledge of dogs and training techniques and care was a bonus . I will continue to use Michelle for boarding and weekly walks . Made my time away from Maisie easier .”
About: I’ve grown up at home with dogs my whole life including rescue and reactive dogs, so I understand the importance of patience and making dogs feel safe and comfortable. Over the past 2 years, I’ve also helped my friend with Rover by assisting with walks, feeding, check-ins and caring for dogs with different personalities and needs. I’m confident handling all types of dogs and will always take time to build trust at their own pace. Whether your pet needs a calm companion, regular exercise or extra patience and attention, I’ll make sure they feel cared, safe and happy while you’re away. I am a high performance athlete at the university and have a flexible schedule so I can make time throughout the week and weekends for walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime and keeping your pets company. I’m reliable, communicative and happy to stick to your dog’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable and relaxed while you’re away. I’ve grown up caring for rescue and reactive dogs, so I understand how important patience, safety and trust are. I always take the time to learn each dog’s personality, and routine so they feel secure and comfortable in my care. Whether in your home or out on walks, I stay attentive and calm while making sure your pet has fun, gets plenty of attention and stays safe at all times
“Jodie was amazing with my two Frenchies. I was a little nervous leaving them but they loved her! She kept me updated with pics and messages to let me know how they were doing. She was lovely and my babies loved her 🫶🏽”
“Chris was amazing with my energetic lab Ollie and was really understanding of his temperament and needs. Chris helped us out with a last minute booking after we were let down by kennels right before our holiday. I received lots of pictures whilst we were away so was reassured that my dog was doing well and could see he was very well exercised. Would not hesitate to use Chris again in the future!”
“Steven has been excellent in dealing with Bronagh and has been extremely helpful. Bronagh enjoys her stays with him and is always very happy when she is dropped off and picked up.”
About: I have loved dogs all of my life but unfortunately the time was never right to have one of my own. My love for dogs only grew when my parents decided to get a puppy, Angus, in my early 20s whilst I was still living at home due to being a full time student. Angus’ mum is a working springer spaniel and his dad a miniature poodle which makes him a sproodle! Think high energy, super friendly and fluffy! I trained Angus as a puppy and took him to puppy classes, socialising and walking groups. I continue to support my parents to develop Angus’ training, particularly when out walking as Angus loves to chase leaves! My friends have relied on me in the past to look after and walk their dogs which I have always been grateful to help with! I have also supported a family member to re-home a rescue dog. I have experience administering weekly ear drops as prescribed by vets. I work a hybrid working pattern which means that I am able to work from home part of the week. This means I will be able to look after, play with, and get some extra steps in with furry friends. I am available, particularly at the weekends, for boarding services. I have a fenced back garden and there are lots of pathways and grassy areas nearby for your furry friends to sniff and do their business! I have sufficient space to accommodate your pets crate, if this is their safe place, and best for them to bring with them.

The average cost for Dog Boarding in Stirling on Rover is £31.72 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 .
