“Today I picked up Bronagh after a stay with Steven and it was excellent to find her in such good condition and enjoying her stay. Steven has been tremendous at recording any issues she has and has been providing photographs of the time he has her. My thanks for all of the great care and attention he has taken with our dog”
“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”
“Our wee boy went to stay with Kirsty for a night while we attended a wedding. She offered a meet and greet before hand which went really well and we knew he would be well looked after. She sent us regular pictures and he was clearly having a fantastic time with his new friends! He chewed through his lead and she replaced it which was very kind but absolutely not needed! He had another one with him and he is a chewy pup so we would have happily replaced it. We will definitely use Kirsty again.”
“Couldn’t recommend Harry highly enough. A really nice lad & very easy to get on with. Hamish had the best time and was looked after with lots of care. He sent me lots of pictures and kept me updated the whole time. I would definitely use Harry again in future.”
“Claire was absolutely wonderful. This was the first time we left Winston with someone we didn’t know and Claire put us all at ease immediately. Winston had a great time with her and she kept us up to date on their adventures. Highly recommend!”
“Our Eddie is a return visitor with Jennifer as we know he’s well cared for and happy there. It gives us peace of mind and reassurance when we’re enjoying our holiday, because we know that Eddie is enjoying his holiday too.”
“I can’t thank Bethany enough for taking our fur baby. We were worried about how Minnie would be going somewhere she didn’t know. But Bethany was amazing and Minnie had the best time. We were updated regularly with photos and videos. Thank you so much.”
“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.”
“Koko and his family were absolutely amazing with my Lab, Benny! From the start, Koko was very communitive while setting up the booking. Dropping off I felt like Benny was in really safe hands. Koko kept me updated multiple times a day with messages and photos, which made such a difference and gave me total peace of mind. Benny loved playing with their daughter, and in pics its obvious he loved the entire family as he was smiling in almost every picture. They had a lovely garden Benny was able to run and play ball in. Benny was happy and relaxed when time for pickup and napped several times that day as he had enjoyed their company so much! If you're thinking about booking with Kwok, just do it! Highly recommended!”
“Keira is a very happy repeat customer with Kwai and family! She is loved and cared for as one of the family, and has a great doggy companion in Sally, their delightful Bijon Frisé 💕”
“I can’t recommend Alexandra enough. We don’t go away often and Rocky can be anxious when we leave him, but he was so well cared for while we were away that I won’t hesitate to use Alexandra again. She sent us regular updates and really cared about his well being and that we felt ok. She asked lots of questions about his care, feeding times, length of walks etc and kept his routine as much as possible. It was great coming back from holiday to a happy and well cared for boy. Thank you!”
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.
About: I am a dog lover and have had a furry friend for the past 25 years. I have a small cockapoo dog called Bessie who is 6 years old. I have looked after my family and friends dogs on many occasions. I welcome dogs into my home and they are allowed to roam and make my house their home during their stay. I work from home 2 days per week. I am comfortable caring for different breeds and personalities and I am confident with walks, feeding, routines, playtime and making sure your dog feels safe, comfortable and well cared for while in my company. I work from home 2 days per week and can provide dog sitting on those days. I work short hours the rest of the week. I have a small cockapoo dog who can provide company to your furry baby. I schedule my plans around the routine you provide me with so your fur baby feels comfortable and safe whilst in my care. I always ensure there is time for walking and playing. I have a fenced secure back garden which your fur baby will have full access to whilst in my care. Your dog will have access to most rooms in my house and is allowed on the sofas if this is ok with you.
“Sakshi has looked after Alfie twice now and we’ve got to say he’s a very happy dog when he’s round at her place! All of the communication and organising went like clockwork and we would always be happy for her to be looking after our - not the easiest dog in the world! - Patterdale Terrier. Super highly recommended 😊”
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.
“Julie is an amazing experienced sitter who truly looks after your dogs as if they were her own. We are always kept up to date with pictures, videos, and stories of their adventures. Our dog Biscuit adores Julie and her sleepovers, and would absolutely rate higher than 5 stars if she could!”

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in West Dunbartonshire on Rover is £32.2 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 887 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across West Dunbartonshire. Enter your postcode to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 .
