“Josephine accepted a last minute booking and I think my dog, Rufus, really liked her. He knows his usual dogsitters very well so I was a bit nervous about him never having met Josephine as he can be wary of strangers. Josephine sent photos of Rufus on his walk and he looked delighted! Will book again”

“Izzi was absolutely brilliant looking after our cat Simba while we were away. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Simba can be quite shy and wary of new people, but Izzi was incredibly patient with her and clearly took the time to understand her personality and let her come round at her own pace. It was lovely to see Simba gradually becoming more comfortable and affectionate with her — by the end, Izzi had definitely won her over! Izzi kept us updated throughout, was thoughtful and attentive, and went above and beyond, even helping us out with a parcel while we were away. We felt completely reassured knowing Simba was in such kind and capable hands. Izzi clearly genuinely cares about the animals she looks after, and that really came across in all our conversations. We would have absolutely no hesitation in asking her to look after Simba again and would recommend her very highly to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring and reliable pet sitter. Thank you, Izzi!”

“All went well with the visit, lots of lovely photos and Freya seemed well looked after. I really appreciated the good consistent communication even though I wasn’t always able to reply while I was on holiday. Will book again.”

About: Hi I'm Lorna! I'm a kindhearted animal lover who is eager to love and care for every animal, big or small. I have loved animals since I was little, having had pets from cats and dogs to reptiles and rodents. I currently have 2 cute cats who I adore. My pet sitting experience includes looking after an energetic bulldog puppy, and overnight care for cats with medicine requirements. I currently work part-time, so my schedule is quite flexible. I would love to expand my pet sitting experience and take great care of your furry friends! I'm currently working part time so I have lots of time to love, care for and play with your pet! Giving them the love and affection they deserve. I will take great care of your pet by keeping up their normal routines, giving them lots of attention and stimulation through play time and cuddles.

About: I’ve always had multiple dogs growing up, and since moving to Stirling for university (and now graduated) I have looked after many friends and families dogs! I would like to do rover until I can get a dog myself one day soon :) I currently work a rolling rota, where my shifts either finish at 2pm or start at 1:30pm, meaning I can do a mix of afternoon/evenings or morning/mid-day! I live in a quiet flat, with a direct door outside to a decent sized garden. I live next to lots of good walks as well!
“Very happy with Justine's care of my cat Sherbet while I was away. It was good to meet Justine before to show her the flat and Sherbet. I felt very confident with her coming to feed Sherbet and that as a cat owner herself, she would take good care of mine - which she did. She answered questions promptly and when I was away she sent a few messages with photos of Sherbet looking happy and content. I would definitely recommend Justine as a cat sitter and hope she's avaliable to do do the next time I'm away. Thank you”

“Lucy was super helpful with my drop in request! She was very efficient with communication when arranging to come visit and kept me up to date with pictures and feedback after the drop in. Will definitely be asking for future visits when needed. Thank you 🥰”

Whatever your pets normal routine, I can cater for them to keep life as close to your usual routine as possible. Either in your home or mine as preferred.
About: From my 6 years experience of caring for dogs of all ages, temperaments, and needs, I’ve learned how to create a calm, loving, and structured environment where your dog will feel safe and understood. I work from home so your dog will always have someone around! I love walking and know lots of lovely routes around the Stirlingshire area. I’m confident with both energetic puppies and senior dogs. I treat every animal as if they’re my own, taking the time to learn their unique quirks and routines so they feel relaxed and cared for from the moment we meet. Your dog's safety is my top priority. I ensure their environment is secure, follow all specific care instructions, and provide the comfort they need while you're away. My calm and loving approach helps your dog feel right at home.

“Perfect drop in to scoop the litter trays, change the water, play with and feed my cats. Arrived on time and good feedback about how they were doing. Followed instructions and stayed a little longer than planned as they were having fun. Will book Shauni again!”

About: I’m a lifelong animal owner with hands-on experience caring for a wide range of breeds and temperaments, including Irish Wolfhound crosses, Border Collies, Miniature Dachshunds, and cats. I’ve also cared for chickens and small animals, so I’m comfortable managing different routines and environments. Having recently relocated from Australia, I’m excited to share the care and attention I’ve always given my own pets with yours. I work partly online, which means I’m home for much of the day and able to provide consistent supervision, companionship, and structure. Whether your dog is a high-energy working breed needing long walks and mental stimulation, a puppy learning the ropes, or a senior who prefers a slower pace, I adapt to their individual needs. I’m confident with puppies and happy to reinforce basic training, boundaries, and positive routines. I’m also comfortable administering oral medications and following detailed care instructions. Routine is extremely important to me. I aim to keep feeding, walking, playtime, and sleep schedules as close to normal as possible to ensure your pet feels secure and settled while you’re away. As a homeowner myself, I understand how valuable trust and reliability are. Your home and pets will be treated with the same care and respect I give my own. Mornings and evenings are structured around feeding, walks, playtime, and any medication needs. I plan my work flexibly to ensure pets receive consistent attention if needed, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. I can be a home body or out and about for puppy chinos. Walking to the local Cafe after a run in the park is one of my favourite hobbies, closely followed by a good book and a glass of wine by the fire. I really do just adapt to the needs of your pet :) . I prioritise maintaining the pet’s established routine to minimise stress. Feeding times, walks, play sessions, and medication schedules are followed carefully. I respect the home as if it were my own, keeping it clean, secure, and tidy. I also provide regular photo and message updates so owners feel reassured while they’re away. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, reinforcing basic training and positive habits, as well as administering oral medications for both dogs and cats. My approach is calm, consistent, and attentive, with the goal of keeping pets happy, secure, and settled.

About: I grew up on a farm so I’ve always been surrounded by animals from a young age which started my love for dogs when we got our first border collie! I have experience with many dog breeds and ages having volunteered at the SSPCA, which involved handling large, energetic dogs, new born pups, as well as more timid dogs suffering from anxiety. I’ve also worked abroad with dogs who had been dumped/abandoned meaning many suffered from disease and/or malnourishment. I am also canine/pet first aid trained. I am currently running my own dog walking business called Kirstin’s K9 Care where I get to walk and play with the best dogs, join the club! I am currently focusing only on dog walking and building my animal care career so my schedule is open and I am available to book mon-fri I drive a van meaning I have plenty of room for dogs to be picked up safely and transported to walking routes that really suit their needs whether that be a big open field to just run about in and burn energy, or a woodland walk to provide lots of good smells for your dog.
About: As an adult I have owned several dogs, including a Dalmatian, a Beagle and currently own 2 Cockapoos (mum aged 8yrs & daughter aged 6yrs) whom I absolutely adore. I love all dogs and have raised 3 Cockapoo litters, teaching and training 22 gorgeous puppies from birth until they went on to start their new life’s with their new owners, giving them all the best start in life. I have a FB page which I kept updated from the pups birth date until to their “gotcha” day for all new owners to follow their pups progress. The last litter was born on August 2024, The page is open and available for all new owners to post pictures and updates of their puppies to adult's progress and their new and happy life. I also regularly post on the page to keep in touch and always wish all a big “Happy Barkday” from their mums 🐾 grandma 🐾 and their big and little brothers 🐾 & sisters 🐾. 4 generations of fluffy, gorgeous Cockapoos Im a Carer so I’m no longer in employed paid work. I’m available all week for your pets needs, whether that be dropping in, taking a walk, pet sitting for that special occasion or weekend/holiday away, even attending that special occasion you want your pet to be part of… a wedding etc I have a large secure fenced garden for my dogs (and yours) to run around and to keep them safe AND 2 friendly Cockapoos to keep them company.

About: Hey! I’m Connie, 34 and a dog lover moving back to Denny from June onwards 🐾 Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I had my Bichon Frise, Ollie, for 13 years, and since losing him I’ve continued caring for dogs regularly, especially my brother’s Cockapoo, Lottie (my little fur niece!), who I look after once or twice a week 🐶. I work full time during the week, but I work from home on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so I can be more flexible on those days. At the moment, I’m mainly offering: ✅ House sitting ✅ Dog walking ✅ Drop-in visits House sitting works best for me right now, and I also find most pets are far more comfortable staying in their own home and routine 🏡🐾 I’m very respectful of people’s homes and always make sure everything is kept tidy, secure, and well looked after. For dog walking, I’m available: ✅ Early mornings (Mon–Fri, 6–8am) ✅ Lunch breaks (Tues & Thurs) ✅ Evenings after 5pm (weekdays) ✅ Anytime Saturdays & Sundays I’m happy to do anything from quick toilet breaks to longer walks depending on your dog’s age, energy level, and routine 🌿🐕 I can also offer drop-in visits for feeding, letting pets out, company, and making sure they’re settled and cared for while you’re away 🐾 I’m a calm, patient, and affectionate person, and I always adapt to each pet’s personality — whether they want lots of interaction and play, or just a gentle, reassuring presence 💛 I also always keep owners updated with photos and messages so you know your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away 🤍 I work full time Mon-Fri (9-4.30pm). I work from home on Tuesdays & Thursdays, which gives me more flexibility for walks and drop in visits during the day. On office days (Mon, Wed, Fri), I am available for morning walks before work and evening visits after 4.30pm. I am also fully available at weekends which allows for more flexibility, longer walks and regular care as needed. I enjoy being active and outdoors - I love going for drives and long walks and I am happy to include dogs where appropriate. I also enjoy quieter time at home, so I'm comfortable caring for pets who just need calm company and a steady presence. I am organised and reliable, ensuring pet care is something I can consistently fit around my work while still giving pets plenty of time, care and attention 💗 I provide care in the pet owner's home, where pets feel safest and most comfortable in their own familiar environment. I follow each pet's usual routine as closely as possible including feeding times and durations, fresh water, toilet breaks and playtime! I include walks tailored to their energy levels and needs along with playtime, attention and companionship so they feel happy and stimulated. I will always ensure your home is left secure and tidy after each visit and will always provide updates and photos so you feel reassured while you're away 📸 I always focus on creating a caring, calm presence so your pet feels comfortable and well looked after.
About: For boarding and day care, pick up and drop off service may be available upon request. During a stay 2 walks a day can be expected, plus playtime in a fully fenced garden. Any other needs can be discussed. I have been a pet owner for 7 years but have grown up around dogs. I have worked and volunteered in animal shelters, and worked in a medical environment caring for animals. Working in shelters has given me some animal training experience, and experience in handling more difficult animals. Working in the medical environment has given me knowledge of special need animals and administering medications. I started professional pet care while living in the USA. This included home visits, walks and sitting. I look forward to hearing from you!

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Stirling choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a key safe or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a key safe. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalised codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in a flat, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or lift etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English, French, German, and Spanish from Mon-Sat 9am to 6pm. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a qualified vet or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s booking protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
