“Kirsten was fab with Daisy. We have only had her 8 weeks and so were worried how she would be with someone new. We had pictures of her time with Kirsten and she kept us up to date with how she was doing. Excellent sitter and a lovely person, and wouldn’t hesitate for Daisy to stay with her again.”
“Sophie and Dorian have been a perfect match for Fin! They took care of him so well, Fin is a high energy dog and he had a blast on the adventures. We got regular updates from Sophie as well.”
“Really nice guy who sent photos and videos of a delighted Murphy all the way through our trip. The best boarder I have used and will use Andrew again without hesitation. Thanks again”
“Very good and loads of pictures on a daily basis, we have already booked the next 2 holidays and planning on using again for next year's ones (we go away 3-4 times a year so want to make sure mr bean is happy when we away). Highly recommend”
“A huge thank you to Angela and the whole family for taking such amazing care of our wee Manchita! She came home exhausted (in the very best way) from a fun-filled two week stay. Based on the daily photo updates and her exhaustion after the initial hellos confirms that she has had a marvellous time with lots of physical activity, mental stimulation, play time and cuddles. I cannot recommend Angela and her family enough! If you have an active dog who needs lots of exercise and loves other dogs, I highly recommend booking a stay. The daily photo updates ensured that we had 0 worries during our whole holiday abroad. Thank you for all that you have done for our wee Manchita and ensuring she received the very best care while we were away. We’ll definitely be booking her in for another stay when we next go away :)”
“Thank you again. Steven for looking after Bronagh so well and taking very good care of her. She has settled back at home now and it is a pleasure to see her in such good condition. Hopefully we will be utilising your excellent service very soon.”
“Katie was amazing with Clyde, he was looked after the same way as he does at home. He was a very happy boy during his stay, we would definitely recommend Katie to look after anyone’s dog and feel good about it. Clyde is a very happy boy 💙”
“First time leaving Kobe with someone other than family and of course you worry that they will be ok. He is 9years old this year and always been with family. But, my goodness we certainly had nothing to worry about. Isobel and John have loved Kobe like he was their own and truly spoiled him! Lots of photos and updates and he has definitely now got a second family!! No hesitation in rebooking with Isobel as I know he has a second Mum in his life! 🩵”
“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.”
“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!”
“Just wanted to thank Luis for the great care he took of Ozzy. Its clear he is very fond of dogs and confidant with big dogs like Ozzy. Ozzy was very relaxed in his presence ( he can be anxious) which made us feel very happy leaving him with Louis. Would be happy to use Louis again.”
“Lemmy had a great time staying with Elisabetta and her family. Especially with Zoe, their beautiful Weimaraner. Lemmy was a bit wary of her to start with, but by a couple of days later they were sleeping in the same bed! Elisabetta sent me lots of pictures, so I knew that Lemmy was being well looked after. He'll definitely be going back to stay with Elisabetta, and Zoe”
“Michele was just wonderful with our two boys. From the start to the finish I had full confidence in her professionalism and dedication to the well-being of dogs and that her care would be excellent. She puts real thought into every aspect of boarding pets. Also, her warmth and the regular pictures and status updates confirmed that our pups were not only in good care, but also loved! Highly recommend.”
“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 🫶🏽”
About: I’ve been around and caring for dogs since I was 7 years old, so looking after dogs has always been a big part of my life. I genuinely love spending time with them and making sure they feel happy, safe and comfortable. I also have experience caring for dogs professionally in a work setting as I have been responsible for leading dog walking activities for children and families. I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels and needs, and I understand that every dog has their own routine and preferences. Whether your dog loves long walks and playing, or prefers plenty of cuddles and relaxing at home, I’m happy to give them the attention and care they need. I’m responsible, patient and caring, and I’ll always treat your dog as if they were my own. I know how important it is to feel confident that your pet is in safe hands, so I’ll keep you updated and make sure they’re well looked after while you’re away. 🐾❤️ I currently have some extra flexibility during the week and I’m available for pet care throughout the day on many weekdays. I’m also available for evening and weekend bookings, which I can continue to offer around my usual working hours. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine wherever possible and can discuss specific days and times to find something that works for both of us. 🐾 Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I have a secure, fenced garden at home and regularly look after friends’ and family members’ dogs, so I’m used to having dogs in my home and making sure they are comfortable and well cared for. I don’t currently have any pets living in my home, so your dog can have my full attention without having to share the space with another resident pet. I’ll always follow your instructions and your dog’s usual routine, including feeding, walks, medication if required, and any other individual needs. When caring for a pet in their own home, I’ll treat their space with the same respect as I would my own and make sure they feel safe, settled and comfortable. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you know they’re happy while you’re away. ❤️🐶
About: Hi! I'm Irayna, and I'd love to help care for your pets when you can't be there. I share my home with Pepper, my miniature Dachshund, and I grew up with cats, so animals have always been a big part of my life. I've also recently welcomed friends' dogs into my home for week-long stays while they were away. It was lovely seeing them settle in alongside Pepper, and it gave me plenty of experience caring for dogs with different personalities and routines. Whether you're looking for someone to walk your dog, pop in for feeding and company, care for your cat, or stay in your home while you're away, I'll make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, affection, and care. I'll always follow their normal routine, from feeding and walks to medication if needed, helping them feel as comfortable as possible. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else's care, so I'll keep you updated with regular photos and messages, giving you peace of mind while you're away. I'd love the opportunity to meet you and your furry family member! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, whether that's taking dogs out for walks, playing with them, or caring for cats in the comfort of their own home. I'm organised, reliable, and happy to work around your pet's usual routine, including feeding times, medication if needed, and plenty of attention and companionship. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for while you're away. Every pet is different, so I always take the time to understand their routine, personality, and any specific needs before I begin caring for them. Whether I'm looking after your pet in your home or visiting for walks and drop-ins, I'll follow their usual schedule as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and settled. I'll make sure they have fresh food and water, plenty of exercise or playtime, lots of attention, and, of course, plenty of fuss if they enjoy it! I'll also keep you updated with regular photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.

FAQs for Dog Boarding – Stirling
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.
