“Steven provided excellent care for Bronagh during her recent stay with him. My wife and I were extremely happy with the care and attention that was provide for her and we look forward to engaging with Steven soon to look after Bronagh again.”
“Julie and her family took wonderful care of our 1 year old lab. It was the first time leaving her with anybody and she can be a wee bit timid. However, it was clear from the outset that Julie and her family were warm and welcoming to her and made her feel very loved and cared for. Lots of pupdates meant we were very reassured whilst away. Would not hesitate to recommend. Thanks Julie”
“Kirsty was great with Yogi, I was a little nervous as Yogi hasn’t stayed with anyone other than family before. Kirsty kept me updated with photos regularly which was great as I could see what he was up to. If you’re looking for anyone to mind your dog, I would definitely recommend Kirsty 🥰”
About: I’ve always been a big dog person and have spent lots of time looking after my friends’ Cocker Spaniels, Ralph and Rue. I’d have them stay with me for days or sometimes weeks, so I’m very used to the walks, feeding, keeping them entertained and generally having a dog follow me around everywhere! I absolutely loved having them around and still miss them, so I’d be very happy to get my dog fix by looking after some new four-legged friends. I work from home most of the time, except from a Wednesday when I go into the office. I live alone and my job involves a lot of writing so would welcome the company from a cute doggo I have a nice garden space for dogs to enjoy, and I love getting out for little walks and adventures, so there’ll be plenty of fresh air and things to sniff! your pup will have my full attention and won’t have to worry about children or a busy household. I’m happy to work around their usual routine, whether that’s lots of walks and playtime or plenty of sofa time and cuddles.
“Harry looked after our boy Duke for 2 weeks over the New Year period, and he sent us regular photos and updates to show how happy and relaxed he was. Harry took him out on some beautiful walks and did a brilliant job of looking after him. I would highly recommend him.”
About: As a child, I never had a dog or cat of my own, despite begging my parents. So, I made up for it by walking my friends’ dogs as I loved animals. My mum then got a greyhound six years ago, and he was the best thing to happen to our family, so I spent my days looking after him. I wish to continue to do so in any way I can, whether it be dog walking or sleepovers. I am more than happy to help. I look forward to seeing the adventures your furry friend and I will go on, whether that be a local walk or taking your dog to the national park local to me. I am really looking forward to hearing from you! - Marina I currently working hybrid/remote from home so I’ll have plenty of time to look after your lovely pets! I have every weekend off too (: I can take your dog for local walks or i can take your dog to Loch Lomond or Balloch castle which is perfect for dog walking, your dog can wander around, play and swim too (: I will always create a route tailored to your dogs needs and abilities. At home, your pet will be allowed to wander the house freely. We have a good back and front garden where they can play and go out whenever they’d like.
About: I’ve grown up with animals all my life, particularly dogs. I love spending time with them whether it’s on the beach exploring or curled up on the sofa! We have a cockapoo called Cookie. She is fantastic for her age - almost 13. We love nothing more than going for a walk in the park and meeting other doggy pals. As a retired nurse, I am home most days. I include my own dog in most of my activities. As I am no longer working, I can plan my day accordingly with no distractions from work. We have a very secure dog proof fenced garden. The garden gate is padlocked too. We have a large lawn area where the dog can run around freely and also cobbled stones each side. We have a pod in the garden which is used as an office. This is a dog friendly area too.
“From start to finish, Claire was brilliant. So warm and caring with our wee old man French Bulldog, Frank, and he had an absolute ball. Her home is lovely and welcoming, and she and her wee daughter were great with him, he settled in straight away. Claire kept in touch while we were away, sending photos and videos, which really put our minds at ease. Frank barely wanted to come home. If you’re looking for someone genuinely caring to look after your pup, Claire’s your girl. Couldn’t recommend her enough.”
“Anne Marie took great care of my small dog Buzz. She ensured he is taken care of and provided a safe clean and enjoyable environment. I would highly recommend Anne Marie to anyone looking for a trusted dog boarding service.”
“Excellent service! We booked our dog Penny to be looked after and she was greatly loved and cared for by Kwai Wa N and his family. She was walked, brushed, fed, cuddled etc and sent lots of photo updates each day to see how she was getting on. We will definitely be booking Penny again and as the service was perfect 👌 A*”
About: I am a dog loving, animal obsessed and puppy mum! We have brought home a new puppy this year, Haggis and happy to share our home with other friendly pups who need some short stays! Hi! I’m an experienced dog owner and absolutely love having dogs around. Your dog will be treated like part of the family in a safe, loving home alongside our friendly Australian Labradoodle puppy, Haggis, and our 8-year-old son, who has grown up around dogs and is calm and respectful with them. To make sure everyone has a happy and stress-free stay, we do have a few requirements. Dogs staying with us must be friendly and comfortable around other dogs and children. We also ask that they’re happy sleeping in either a crate or their own bed overnight, as we don’t allow dogs to sleep in our beds. Our aim is to provide a fun, safe, and relaxed home-from-home where your dog gets plenty of attention, play, and care while you’re away. We look forward to meeting you and your furry friend! We have an enclosed garden and lots of walks in our area to take your dog on.
“They took wonderful care of my dog, it was his first time staying overnight outside of my house and away from me. He loved it, their children got on amazingly with him and I received tons of photos of him with the other dogs. Definitely recommend, and have recommended to my friends too.”
“We booked our golden doodle Freddie for a three night stay with Elizabeth and I can only say how delighted we are with the care and affection our wee doodle received. From the initial meet n greet, a few days before his stay, Freddie was warmly welcomed into the family and very quickly settled with Elizabeth. He was spoiled all weekend with woodland walks, sniffing safaris at the local park and even a trip to Loch Lomond for a dip! With lovely photos and regular updates on his stay we felt so reassured that he was in safe hands and having a great time with an experienced dog lover! We’re so pleased to have found Elizabeth and Freddie is looking forward to his next stay already!”
“Katarzyna is a great dog sitter, she took care of my senior Maltese for the the week I was away, and send me lots of photos and replies fast when you check in. She is amazing and my precious Zizzel is well and happy 😊”
“A massive thank you to Olha & Huzi. For looking after Kai. For Kai's age and condition they showed him the love from the minute we introduced them. Was updated regularly with photos included, of which Kai didnt look out of place. Nothing was a hassle to them. Would recommend highly and use again.”
“Bethany provided a lovely home for Dexter. He settled quickly and enjoyed his short stay. Bethany took him out for regular walks and kept me updated with how Dexter was and sent plenty of photos. I would definitely use her again in the future.”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in West Dunbartonshire on Rover is £32.2 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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. Read more about our requirement for following local licensing requirements .
