“Another great stay with Alison. Millie can be a bit anxious when first separated from us and Alison knew how to manage that with time in the garden, walks and keeping an eye on how she is eating. We will definitely be back. Thanks Alison, safe hands.”
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.
“Isobel is a true mummy dog carer who take real pride in looking after your dog. Hugo had an amazing time, he really bonded with Isobel during his stay. Highly recommend Isobel. 10/10 rating”
“Cristina and her daughter took amazing care of Yuki while I was away over Christmas. The photos and videos I got everyday really showed that he was treated as part of the family which really brought me peace of mind (they even bought him a Christmas present). Yuki seemed so happy with them and I would 100% take him back to stay with Cristina.”
“Kirsten was excellent , I visited her home with my puppy first , which made dropping him off for his actual stay very easy and reassuring that it would be a success. Kirsten sent photos during his stay and plenty of updates. Thanks to Kirsten and her family for looking after our pup!”
“Sophie was amazing at keeping me updated with photos & messages during George's stay which put my mind at ease. He looked like he was having a great time & slept like a baby when I brought him home so he obviously had a lot of dun dueing his stay. I will definitely use Sophie in the future. 😀”
“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!”
“Andrew is absolutely 5 star and more and gave nothing but the very best in care and attention for Dora. From the outset with communication and whilst Dora was with him he gave regular updates and I could just tell how passionate he is about providing only the very best for the dogs he looks after. Dora had a ball and has come back very chilled and relaxed. I can't thank Andrew enough for looking after her so well and I most certainly will use Andrew again and would recommend him to anyone. Thanks again Andrew, you have been absolutely first class.”
“Michèle was wonderful and provided a calm, loving and warm home from home for my wee dog. She sent regular updates including videos and photos which I really appreciated too. You can tell that Michèle loves and cares a lot for animals and is a lovely people person too. I would highly recommend her”
About: I am a dog mum and being with a dog is the best thing I can imagine to do. I use to care for while I was younger, walks, baths, vet visits even injections when needed. I am working on the bank as a support worker, I don't have the same schedule every week. I will update my availability regularly 😊 I have a fanced garden and very chill medium size dog. On the walks I will follow your advice to make sure that your pup is safe and happy 😌
“Shauni went above and beyond to look after Egil and Calma, I could not be happier with her boarding! Truly recommended and looking forward to my next booking with her, my dogs loved it 😊”
“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.”
About: I’ve always been surrounded by animals and caring for them is a genuine part of my everyday life. I have many years of hands-on experience with both dogs and cats, including senior pets, and I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine and needs. I’m patient, caring and reliable, and I’ll always treat your pet as if they were one of my own. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, cuddles or simply keeping them company while you’re away, my priority is making sure they feel happy, safe and comfortable. I’m also confident caring for older pets and following specific routines or instructions provided by their owners. I have a flexible routine, which allows me to fit pet care around my day and give each pet the time and attention they need. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits and pet sitting during the week, with additional availability at weekends. I’m happy to discuss individual routines and timings to find what works best for you and your pet. We’re a very animal-loving family! I live with my husband, our two children, our dog Zoe, three cats and two chickens, who have their own secure coop. We have a large, fully fenced garden with plenty of safe space to explore and play. Having children and several pets at home means I understand how important introductions, supervision and individual routines are. I’ll always follow your instructions carefully and make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable and loved. I’m also happy to discuss your pet’s personality and needs beforehand to make sure our home is the right fit for them.
About: Hi! I’m Erin, I’m 29 years old and work from home as a radiologist service delivery manager! I grew up on a farm in South Africa and have rescued over 20 dogs during my 10 years over there. In south Africa we currently have two rescues, Luna and Honey, who are staffy x Pitties and they are the best ever! I have always been around dogs and I love giving them all the attention and cuddles they desire! I had my own little frenchie who was my world, Cruz, who unfortunately isn’t with us anymore. I would love to be around dogs and help out with them before I’m ready to make that commitment on my own again ❤️🩹 I miss having a fur baby around! I work 4 x 10 hour shifts per week from the comfort of my own home! My work is extremely flexible so I would be able to cuddle up on the couch with your pooch whilst working, and also have the time to take them on a lovely big walk and entertain them! I have a one bedroom flat with lots of couch space and floor space for your loved doggie! They are allowed on furniture and will be spoiled with cuddles. There are lots of walkways near me and lovely forested areas

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Stirling on Rover is £33.35 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 .
As of September 2026, there are 1,018 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Stirling. Enter your postcode to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 .
