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!
“Absolutely outstanding! Look no further, Izzie is your cats new bestie. Our two cats are very different. One very shy and scared the other uber affectionate. By the end of the visits Izzie had both under her spell. All the usual good things were in place. Fed regularly ✅ box cleaned ✅ communication fantastic ✅ The extra were all there too. She ensured house was kept cool enough during warm weather and mopped up some sick from Sara’s regular dodgy tummy. Can’t thank Izzie and we will definitely use her again if she is available.”
About: I’m a passionate animal lover, whether it’s dogs, cats, small mammals, birds, reptiles, or more and I treat every pet like part of the family. I tailor each visit to fit their unique energy, routine, and personality, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and comfortable. I stay in close touch with frequent photo updates and honest notes, keeping you connected and calm while you’re away. As a pet owner, I care for own pets every day. Dog walks are a built in daily activity and I love providing the same quality of care for others pets. I begin with a meet‑and‑greet at your house to learn your pet’s routines and preferences. It's important for me to keep to their trusted routine.
About: I have grown up and taken care of dogs since I can remember, including living experience with a police German shepherd, fully trained working cocker spaniel, 2 border collies and an Australian shepherd. This has given me strong experience to give your dog its wanted needs. I’m confident managing different temperaments and ensuring all dogs feel secure, exercised, and well cared for, they will be loved and cared like my own. I’ve recently finished my university degree, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the week. I train at an international level with the university swim academy, but outside of training I’m free and able to dedicate consistent time to pet care. Including multiple walks (even up to 5-6 for high energy dogs), supervision, and care throughout the day. This allows me to give dogs consistent attention, exercise, and a structured routine during their stay long or short. I provide a safe, calm, and structured environment for dogs staying in my pet-friendly flat, which includes a secure, dog-friendly balcony and access to all rooms as all dog friendly. There is a garden area outside for toilet breaks, which is always used under close supervision. I also have access to multiple safe walking areas nearby, suitable for both shorter walks and longer, high-energy exercise depending on the breed. Having grown up with a police dog and a fully trained working cocker spaniel, I understand the importance of routine, boundaries, and attentive care. I follow all owner instructions closely and ensure dogs are not left alone for long periods, helping them feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for throughout their stay.
“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”

“Caitlin looked after our little guinea pig Eugene while we were away on holiday. He had recently lost his brother Russell and we were a bit worried he would still be quite upset. Caitlin reassured us, sent lots of photos and kept us updated with how Eugene was doing, let us know he was chatting away and eating/drinking plenty. He even took veggies straight from Caitlin’s hand which he doesn’t often do so just shows how kind and trustworthy Caitlin is! Really lovely, looked after Gene very well, would definitely book as a pigsitter again! ❤️”

“It was lovely to meet Tara. She came to meet our staffy prior to arranging a house sit in June. She made me feel confident about leaving our staffy in her care. She showed a great understanding of dog’s behaviours. She was friendly and polite. Listened to all Bailey’s instructions for care. Bailey really liked her. Thank you Tara.”

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.

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.

Emergency support is available by phone or email in English, French, German, and Spanish from Mon-Sat 9am to 6pm.
