“I'd only ever had my dog stay at boarding kennels before, because he can be a bit of a challenge sometimes, and I was nervous leaving him in a private home. But Alison took great care of him and sent daily messages that made me comfortable that he had settled in and everything was going fine. (Thanks to host dog Luna, too, I think.) It took a load off my mind, so I could enjoy my trip, and Hank came home healthy and happy. I'm glad Alison said she's willing to host him again.”

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 work Monday - Fridays but am available for pet care throughout the day on many weekends. 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. I live with my fiancé who adores dogs as much as I do and is excited to meet and welcome dogs into our home. 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. ❤️🐶

“We booked Rupert in with Isobel for 8 days as we had a family holiday planned. It was our first time leaving him not with a family member and I was really nervous about it. Isobel welcomed him into her home, she sent me plenty photos, videos and updates I wouldn’t hesitate to use Isobel in the future as Rupert was very well looked after.”

About: I have taken care of dogs since a young age as a pet sitter for my neighbours. Walks, overnight stays and pet sitting has been amazing with their two sweet dogs. Millie and Monkey are now seniors and require special care which I have learned along the way. I am a part-time university student here in Stirling, out of the house for a few hours 2 days a week. Plenty of time for pets! As well as lots of experience with both dogs and cats, my flat here in Stirling is perfectly equipped with a fenced-off garden and plenty of room to play! My flat is ground floor, pet proof and welcoming.

“Moira and Rhuraidh have taken amazing care of our little, sometimes anxious dachshund. He took some time to get used to the new environment, but they did everything in their power for him to relax and feel at home: playlng with specialized toys to relaxing dog music, everything was offered to our little one. And he did feel at home as we could see and feel from their daily update videos and photos! Also Nestor is very particular with his walks and how much exercise he can have and what he can eat and so on. Moira and Rhuraidh respected all these wishes and boundaries around his needs to the letter and he didn’t have any problems. They gave him his supplements diligently and took time to help him eat in the beginning when he was stressed due to the change in environment. Anxious dogs like having everything the same, all the time, so they need time to adapt. As said we really appreciated receiving regular updates about Nestor, pictures, videos and being asked for advice at every step. What can one want more than such a forthcoming dogsitter - they catered all his needs! We will definitely contact them again next time we go on a break. They are fantastic.”

She kept us updated daily with pictures and messages of what Cooper had been up too. I would thoroughly recommend using Sophie for any future boarding!”

About: I have had dogs since I was a child however living in a flat with one wouldn't be easy so I have decided to wait until I purchase a house with a garden so will pet sit until then! I now work from home so I can house sit as long as there is a solid internet connection to allow your dog to be in its own space whilst I am there to reduce stress. I have my own vehicle to get to and from in the Stirling area also. I work full time from home or anywhere remote - 08.00- 16.00 Mon- Fri so happy to house sit any hours during this time. It's also easy for me to pick up new hours and alter schedules to what is needed. I have cats currently and probably way over protective of them, so I know how important any pet parent is about leaving their beloved animal with someone. I would always be extra attentive.

“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!”

He had lots of walks in the woods and even a trip to his favourite cafe! Thanks so much Niamh for taking care of him so well. It gave us great reassurance that he was happy while we were away on holidays. Thanks, Eimear x”

“I recently had my dog with Michéle, and her service was outstanding. Despite my dog's challenging energy levels, Michéle provided exceptional care, ensuring he was well-exercised and content throughout the stay. Her attention to detail and genuine affection for dogs was evident, making the experience stress-free for both me and my pet. I highly recommend Michéle for anyone who is looking for a friendly and absolutely reliable help with their dog. As a bonus, she also took amazing photos of our pup :)”

FAQs for Dog Boarding – Stirling

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Boarding in Stirling is £34 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between £28 and £46 per night.

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 1,016 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across the city of Stirling. About 92% typically respond to requests within 60 minutes.

Enter your address and booking dates to see which sitters are available near you. You can also message multiple sitters to improve your chances of finding the right care.

When you book dog boarding on Rover, your dog has an overnight booking in a sitter’s home. A traditional kennel or boarding facility typically cares for dogs in a commercial setting, often with multiple staff members and a set daily schedule.

The environment and care arrangements in a sitter’s home vary by sitter. Some sitters may accept only one pet owner's pets at a time, while others may care for several dogs. Review each sitter’s profile and arrange a Meet & Greet to ask about resident pets, other dogs, supervision, sleeping arrangements, exercise, medication, and the sitter’s home environment.

Consider your dog’s normal routine, comfort around other animals, supervision needs and preferred environment. Whether you choose home boarding or a kennel, confirm what care is included and how your dog’s needs would be handled before booking.

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.

Yes, Rover is well-suited for last-minute bookings for Dog Boarding. With 1,016 sitters in Stirling, 70% respond to messages in under 5 minutes.

Many sitters keep their calendars updated in real time and you can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care in the next 24 hours, you can look for sitters with a 'calendar last updated' notice on their profiles.

Every sitter must complete an identity verification process before listing their services on Rover. This process checks that the sitter’s identity matches their provided documents.

Identity verification doesn't assess a sitter’s experience or suitability for your pet. To see if a sitter is the right fit, you can review each sitter's profile for ratings, verified reviews, repeat pet owner information and care style. We also recommend arranging a Meet & Greet to discuss your pet’s needs and make sure the sitter is the right fit before booking.

For more details, visit our Trust & Safety page.

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.
