Jennifer was fantastic. Met up for a meet and greet before the house sitting, and on the day she was great with Ollie giving me update and pictures out on his walks with her! 10/10 highly recommend Jennifer.

We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter than Robyn Our Golden Retriever can be a little needy at times, and because she’s truly like our daughter, it was so important for us to find someone who would care for her as much as we do—especially while we were away getting married. I found Robyn on Rover after reading a few of her reviews and decided to reach out. Straight away, she gave off such a warm and welcoming vibe. When we met in person, Bailey took to her instantly, which meant everything to us. Robyn asked lots of questions about Bailey, which really reassured us that she genuinely cared about getting to know her. We also arranged a shorter sitting session beforehand so both Bailey and Robyn could get comfortable with each other, which was such a great idea. On our wedding weekend, Robyn arrived right on time and even brought us a little gift, which was such a kind and thoughtful touch. Throughout the day, she kept us updated with photos and messages, so we always knew Bailey was happy and well looked after. When we got home, Bailey was so excited to see us—but it was clear she’d had a lovely time too. Thank you so much, Robyn—we’re so grateful

About: I have grown up around dogs my entire life. From a young child, I would lie in my dogs beds and play with them over any human. I have been asked by various family members and friends to look after their furry friends over anyone else. I understand all types of dogs and their needs and I guarantee that I will become their new best friend 🤍 I currently work in a dog friendly bar, zero hours with a very flexible schedule. If possible, plenty of notice prior to booking would be fab. Give me a message and we can work out dates that accommodate both of us. I would prefer coming to you when possible. I am willing to travel to you. Your dog will be my only focus and priority and I am more than happy to schedule prior visits for your furry friend to get familiar with me. Depending on your dogs needs I can provide walks, or if not we can stay in the garden or even snuggle up on the couch together.

About: Over the years I have had 6 cats, 2 dogs, hamsters, parrots and fish so I have always had a love for animals! I have plenty of experience in caring for them and know what they need. I have had pets who have had ongoing medical needs including regular medicine. I’m the go-to contact for friends and family when they need someone to pet-sit! My partner, Huzaifah, will be helping take care of your pet. He’s an animal lover and has looked after cats, dogs, ferrets, fish, and iguana and a tortoise. I work part time and my partner, who also adores animals, works full time from home so your pet will always have company! We don’t work weekends or bank holidays. We currently have 2 gerbils in a cage in our spacious upper cottage flat with an unfenced garden. The gerbils are elevated so there shouldn’t be any issues, they love the company of other animals!

An absolute superstar, thanks again Sidney! She stayed in our home for 1 week taking care of our dog Charlie, sent regular updates and photos and left our house is such a nice and clean state. Everything went so smoothly and we left on our first holiday together with our children knowing Charlie was left in safe hands with lots of attention, cuddles and calmness ☺️ would without hesitation book you again and recommend you to whoever was looking for a reliable and kind soul to look after your four legged best friend 💞

About: Hi I am Frances, anyone that spends five minutes in my company will tell you that I love all animals but especially Dogs, I feel as though they are just beautiful, caring, compassionate, clever and all round awesome beings that we don't deserve. Can't help but smile when in their company, Living their best life every day in the moment. No coincidence that their name is God backwards. I have had 2 dogs of my own in the past who I consider to be my family and am at a loss without my Son at the moment. I babysit for my friends Dogs if they have commitments elsewhere and consider it a privilege to do so. You don't have to own a dog to be my friend, but it helps :). Rest assured your fur babies are spoiled with me and we have fun playing, and chilling in between the adventure walks with lot's of Pink Panther sniffing / investigating to be done as well as special treat sausages from the Local Butchers with your permission of course. I have recently returned from Rwanda and Uganda where I had an amazing experience trekking in the National Forest Park to see the mighty Silverback Gorilla and his family. I have also travelled to Borneo where I volunteered at an Orangutan Sanctuary ( Jungle School - on Netflix ) and have also volunteered with the SSPCA in the past too. It would be an absolute pleasure to look after your furry family member and would be awesome to be their honorary Auntie and included in their pack. I currently work from home Monday and Friday from 8.30 to 3.30 and in the office on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 8.30 to 4.30. I am therefore able to look after your Fur babies for long weekends Fri to Mon easily fitting in with their own specific schedules. I am hoping to be able to make this a full time job in the future, as it would be a dream come true to be able to care for your pets and be paid to do so?! In an ideal world I would have won the lottery and I would pay you for the privilege of your babies company. I have a private fenced garden that allows security and safety for your pet to be able to go out for fresh air throughout the day in between the bigger walks - minimum of an hour of sniffing if allowed. Your pet will be allowed up on the couch and bed with fluffy blankets for comfort if allowed only, as I would not allow if not the norm for pet. All their requirements will be adhered and catered for, so as not to disrupt their usual routine.

About: Growing up on a farm started my lifelong love of animals! I’ve had dogs in the house since I can remember, and all sorts of animals ranging from cows to peacocks in the garden. As an adult, I’ve house-sat, and dog walked for the last 15 years, and I now live with my partner, daughter and dog in Helensburgh before hopefully returning to the countryside one day. My partner and I are available to dog walk, house-sit and (if your furry friend gets on with our own dog and animal loving 3 year old) board your pet in our home. We have a beautiful garden for playing in, and know some great walks both locally and further afield, to give your pup the very best experience while you’re away. I’m looking forward to meeting you and your lovely pets! Please get in touch if you have any questions or think my partner and I might be able to help! X My partner and I are self employed, so we are able to be flexible with your pet’s needs! Please get in touch if you have any specific questions or scheduling needs. We have a fenced garden, a friendly dog, and an animal loving 3 year old to give your pet all the love and attention they could possibly need. If they need a slightly slower pace, my partner or I can also look after your pet in your own home and their own space.

About: I currently own two working breeds between the ages of 2 and 5 years old. I have grown up around a range of breeds throughout my life from Lhasa apsos to bullmastiffs so I am eager to care for any breed, in my opinion the bigger dog the better. I have previously owned a reactive collie so I have experience of caring for dogs with more complex needs and I am happy to accommodate to any of their needs. One of my current dogs is a long haired breed and I am happy to keep up with any grooming requirements as I understand the importance of this. With owning two working breeds I am familiar with several types of enrichment to help keep them entertained and get their brains working. Although I have no experience in pet sitting officially as described above I have 5 years experiencing owning dogs. I typically will only be available on weekends however some exceptions could be made for weekday care. I am currently working full time and I am available for house sitting mostly on the weekends., with some exceptions for weekdays dependant on the location. I am available for morning/evening walks during the week again dependant on the location. I am happy to take your dog to nearby open spaces or enclosed fields to meet their needs (at no extra cost), I have my own car and ensure to appropriate after methods such as a seatbelt or crate when travelling with my own dogs which would be extended to your animals to ensure their safety. I have experience with a reactive collie and I am happy to do anything required to meet your reactive dogs needs and safety to ensure their upmost comfort for them.

About: Darcy and I have been looking after dogs for years, and we love having new doggy friends come to stay. We are both quite flexible and our home is calm and happy. Our favourite time of day is dog walk time! Followed by feeding time🤣 and belly rub time. Darcy is very used to having different dogs around him and he’s very good as adapting and making friends even with fiesty ones. We look forwards to you coming to say hello, stay or go for walks with us. Cats- I have looked after many cats and also have lived with many different ones over the years. Equally happy to pop in, play with and feed cats when required. Darcy and I like to go on walks daily, and find new interesting places, especially by the loch or lakes. We love swimming and woods. I work from home a lot which makes it easier. Communal and small garden available. Small flat with lots of doggy space. Generally though the dogs think they own the place, which is fine by me.

So pleased to have Kerris look after our German Shepherd whilst we were away on holiday. Kerris & Rex got on very well, we had an introduction a few weeks before our holiday. Kerris took Rex to the beach, up through the hills to swim in the water pools and looked after his general health and well being. Kerris gave Rex his measured amount of food, healthy snacks and very importantly his daily medication. Would highly recommend.

FAQs for House Sitting - West Dunbartonshire

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for House Sitting in West Dunbartonshire on Rover is £27.6 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 House Sitting 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of August 2026, there are 957 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across West Dunbartonshire. Enter your postcode to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:

  • Post & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
  • Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
  • Rubbish & recycling: Taking bins out on scheduled rubbish collection days.
  • Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.

The best time to agree on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a 'home cheat sheet' that includes your preferred West Dunbartonshire walking routes, the location of your favourite pet shop, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.

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.

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 .

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 West Dunbartonshire 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!

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

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.

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 pet to the closest vet. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
