“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”

“Very happy with Lorna coming to feed our cat Sherbet when I was away. It was lovely to meet her prior to her first cat sitting visits and Sherbet was very happy too. Thank you”

“Our cat Bella immediately took to Justine when we first met. This was a great start which continued throughout the 6 days. Justine regularly kept in touch with updates of Bella's wellbeing along with nice photos, informing us of her purring, playing and eating as normal. Justine is a very pleasant young lady.”


About: Having grown up with dogs, I have personally raised and cared for four family pets over the past 20+ years. This lifelong experience includes dedicated senior dog care, where I focus on the gentle pace, patience, and attentive routine needed to keep older dogs comfortable and safe. I am also skilled in basic dog training, using consistent positive reinforcement to encourage good habits during walks and home visits. Beyond caring for my own pets, I managed the daily well-being of an on-site rehomed rescue dog during my time at Bay Tree Flowers. What sets me apart as a sitter is my commitment to reliability, clear communication, and safety. As a certified workplace First Aider, I bring a calm, level-headed approach to special care requirements or unexpected situations. I am also a confident driver with my own vehicle, ensuring prompt and reliable home visits or outings. Whether your pet needs gentle senior support, active exercise, or structured routine reinforcement, I treat every animal with the highest level of affection and attentive care. I have a flexible schedule that makes integrating pet care seamless. I am available all week for walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting. I am happy to accommodate morning visits, afternoon walks, evening check-ins, or overnight care depending on what works best for you and your pet's regular routine. As a certified First Aider with extensive experience caring for dogs—including senior pets—I prioritize safety, comfort, and peace of mind above all else. I approach every home visit and walk with strict attention to secure doors, gates, and leashes. I follow owner routines precisely, ensuring feeding, medication, training reinforcement, and quiet time are handled with care. As a confident driver with my own vehicle, I can easily transport pets if an emergency ever arises, keeping your pet safe and comfortable in their home environment.
“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!”

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. I'm more than happy to meet for a coffee or walk, so you can feel confident about booking me to care for your dog. I work from home which means I’m very flexible and I have plenty of time to provide your pup with lots of care and attention! Although I live in a flat, I really enjoy getting out into the countryside for walks. I want to meet all the personal care requirements and needs that your pet has and I love getting to know different pets’ personalities whether they’re hyper and bubbly or a cool cucumber! I’ll ensure you have peace of mind while I’m looking after your dog by sending you updates and photos so you don’t have to worry!

About: I've been lucky enough to have animals around me for most of my life including growing up with a German Shepherd, so I've always had a special place in my heart for dogs. Over the years, l've also cared for a variety of other pets, from rabbits and hamsters to other small animals. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, and I always aim to make them feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while they're with me. I'm currently a university student, which gives me a flexible schedule around my studies. I have time throughout the week to care for and spend quality time with pets, and I'll always make sure their needs and routines are a priority. My availability may vary slightly depending on my class schedule, but i'll communicate clearly and reliably with every pet owner. I provide pet care exclusively in the pet owner’s home, where I can follow their usual routines and instructions. I prioritise your pet’s safety, comfort and wellbeing, and will treat your home and belongings with the same care and respect I would my own.

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: 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!

About: I’ve had many many dogs, cats, chickens and sheep of my own, but also over many years looked after friend’s dogs, cats and small furries. Looked after pets of all ages and peculiarities. Every one is different and special. I have two dogs and two cats of my own with family help if I need to stay away. I am available at any time, with notice and can easily fit my dogs walks around visiting your pets. Pet care is my full time occupation so your pet is my priority. 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: I’ve had my own cat, Michael, for over eight years, so I understand the responsibility and commitment that comes with caring for a pet. I also have experience caring for pets of different ages, personalities and needs, from energetic young pets to older animals who may need a little more patience and attention. I’m confident caring for young pets and reinforcing routines and basic training, while also providing calm, gentle care for senior pets. As an active and reliable person, I love making sure pets get plenty of exercise, play and mental stimulation, always adapting to their individual needs. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine closely and make sure they feel comfortable, safe and well cared for while you’re away. I’m currently at university, working part-time and am also a competitive athlete, so I’m used to managing a busy but flexible schedule. My training and university commitments vary throughout the week, which allows me to be adaptable and work around the needs of each pet. I’m happy to arrange walks, drop-ins, feeding visits or pet sitting around your schedule wherever possible. I understand that every pet has a different routine, so I’m flexible and will always do my best to accommodate what works best for you and your pet. Your pet’s safety and wellbeing will always be my priority. I’ll take the time to understand your pet’s routine, personality and any specific needs before caring for them, and I’ll follow your instructions carefully. I’m responsible, reliable and respectful of your home and belongings. I’ll keep you updated while you’re away and won’t hesitate to get in touch if I’m unsure about anything. I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pet is in safe and caring hands.
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.
“Shona went above and beyond looking after our 2 cats while we were on holiday and kept us updated with plenty of pictures. We are really pleased that we chose her and our kitties were very happy with her as well! We'll definitely book you again next time we go away! 😊”

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.
