Tímea has been so reliable and efficient, I felt very relaxed leaving my cats in her care. She sent timely messages with lots of photos and was able to connect with my often very shy cats. Would definitely recommend!

Sarah has been fantastic with Coupar right from the start. She kindly came out for a meet-and-greet beforehand (at no extra charge), which was really helpful and gave me peace of mind. On the day of the walk, she arrived exactly on time, followed my instructions perfectly and made everything feel seamless and stress-free. Coupar was clearly happy and relaxed afterwards, and it was lovely to receive photos from their walk. Sarah followed everything to the letter, including feeding him after the walk, and it was clear she genuinely cares. I’d absolutely book her again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to others!

About: I have been caring for animals most of my life and am currently a 2nd year student studying Animal Care and Veterinary Science. I have worked with a variety of animals; big, small, farm, and aquatic. I have a great passion for all animas and would love nothing more than bringing joy to your pet. I am experienced in health checks and giving medication such are eyedrops, orals tablets and spot on topical treatments. I am currently a student at Oatridge college. I live and breath care as during summer break I also work part time in a nursery. I have my own pets at home also. I can follow a schedule and feeding plan for your animals. Accommodate to their needs and your wants. More than happy to go the extra mile for animals and love their company.

This is the first time we have used a drop-in service to look after our cat, Bella, and we would absolutely contact Leah again if we ever needed a cat sitter in the future. Leah was friendly, responsive and attentive whenever we messaged, and we really appreciated the updates and photos after each visit. Bella can be quite wary of people she doesn't know, so we were delighted to see that she did venture down the stairs on one occasion and allowed Leah to pet her, which speaks volumes about how safe Bella must have felt with Leah.

About: I love all animals. I’ve known dogs and cats since I was very young. Started professionally 7 yrs ago with voluntary dog training classes then started my business called Livingston Village Pet Buddy. I walk dogs and do pet sitting and have availability at the moment. Walking times range from 20 mins to 1 hr. Puppy sessions from 20 to 45 mins. If home visits are required, I will make sure everyone is safe, clean, fed, and have fun and cuddles (if possible) and is treated with fairness.

About: I’m thrilled to offer help with your furry babies whenever you need it🫶🏻 I’m happy owner of sweet English bullterrier girl, so I understand how important it is to find safe and reliable place for your pet while you’re away. I’ve been raising cats and dogs since I was a little. All the strays found temporary or permanent homes with me. I’ve grown up in the countryside so helping with animals is my second nature. I’m currently studying so my schedule is pretty flexible. I’m available mostly between 9-12 , 12:30-2:30pm and 3:30-8pm during the week. I spend every available time with my own furry baby, so there is a lot of walks and playtime in the garden during the day. I have fenced garden and the dog of my own which is really friendly with other animals. I can easily create peaceful and quiet environment for your pet.

About: I’ve grown up most of my life having handled dogs and cats, mostly big dogs like German Shepherds and labradors which I used to train and take on walks. I now have a cat and a Jack Russell of my own. I currently work full time local to home during the weekdays although I am able to care for and walk dogs before and after work and/or any times on the weekends I have a larger home with plenty of space and my dog is well versed in going out on a lead. My cat is relaxed and unbothered old boy who just likes his peace in the windowsill.

About: I have many years experience as a dog owner from childhood and, more recently, having done over 50 petsits since 2020 caring for a wide variety of dogs, cats, small animals, chickens and the occasional pony/horse. I adore animals and pride myself on ensuring that pets are safe and secure in their own home while their pet parents are absent. I am spotlessly clean and organised and work around the routine of the animals I care for, while ensuring that the home I am staying in is kept immaculately clean and secure. I currently work online as an English language tutor, approximately 3 mornings a week for a total of around 10 hours. This has always worked out well and complimented my pet-caring work as the teaching fits well around caring for animals in their homes. However, I emphasise that I work around the individual needs and routine of the animals I care for as they are the utmost priority. Before accepting a petsit, I make absolutely sure that the 'fit' is right for both me, the home owner and, most importantly, for the animal. If I feel that I can't provide exactly the care that an animal requires, then I will not accept the work. I do this first and foremost because I love animals. I like to make sure that the home/animal owner fills me in completely on what is required to both care for their pets and their home and that everything is in place to ensure confidence from everyone concerned. Once I am certain that I can confidently provide what is required I am prepared to accept a new client.

About: I may not own a dog, but I’ve happily walked friends’ dogs, know how to feed and water them, and always give care and attention. I study fine art full time and work part time but that doesn’t stop me from checking on all pets. That can be some days a week or on the weekends. I will always ask you the owner what you are comfortable with me doing as it is your pet and your home. I can easily adapt to whatever you need me to do.

Lewis was great. He came for a meet and greet and was happy to help out with my older dog/rescue puppy dynamic. The dogs like him instantly and he was super at dealing with a pup break free attempt, sorry about that Lewis! I highly recommend Lewis as a pet carer.

About: Experienced with large, high-energy dogs and senior pets. Owner of a young Doberman-Lab cross; previously cared for Rottweiler, German Shepherd, and cats living into their mid-20s. I have a flexible schedule with plenty of spare time. I actively train and care for my own large dog, so I’m available for regular walks and in-home sitting. I prioritise safety, routine, and clear communication at all times. When caring for pets in an owner’s home, I follow their instructions closely, maintain normal routines, and ensure the environment is secure and calm. For walks, I use appropriate leads and harnesses, assess surroundings carefully, and adjust walks to each dog’s temperament, whether solo or group. I monitor behaviour, energy levels, and wellbeing throughout. I keep homes tidy and respected, provide regular updates, and always aim to create a stress-free, trustworthy experience for both pets and owners.

About: I have over 15 years of experience caring for dogs and cats, having adopted pets at various life stages, from infants to seniors. I've provided loving care for them until they passed away, which has given me a deep understanding of their needs. Currently, I have three medium-sized mixed-breed dogs, allowing me to manage multiple dogs effectively. What sets me apart is my compassionate approach and my ability to cater to each pet’s individual routine and personality. I treat every animal as part of my family, ensuring they feel safe and loved while in my care. Additionally, I am more than willing to clean up after pets, including clearing any waste, as I understand it’s essential for their health and the cleanliness of the environment. Your pets will receive the highest standard of care and attention. I am available for pet care on weekdays from 11 AM to 3 PM, as well as on Saturdays. This schedule allows me to provide consistent and loving care for your pets during those times. When caring for pets in their own homes, I prioritize their safety and comfort. I ensure the environment is secure by checking for any potential hazards and maintaining a calm atmosphere. I follow the pet owner's routines, including feeding schedules and playtime, to help minimize stress. I provide companionship, engage in play, and ensure that each pet feels loved and cared for during my visits. By visiting them in their familiar surroundings, I aim to keep their routine consistent and help them feel at ease while their owners are away.

About: Hi, I'm Emma, a genuine animal lover who has grown up around cats my entire life and has previous experience owning and caring for dogs. Animals have always been a big part of my life, and I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy to care for your pets. I have experience with feeding, grooming, cleaning litter trays, administering medication, and understanding the individual personalities and needs of cats and dogs. I previously owned a dog who suffered from seizures and required daily medication throughout her life, so I am comfortable and experienced when it comes to administering tablets and caring for pets with additional health needs. I understand the importance of sticking to routines and ensuring pets receive the care and attention they need. I am patient, reliable, and attentive, and I will always treat your pets as if they were my own. Whether your dog needs a fun walk, your cat needs company while you're away, or your pet simply needs someone to provide care and reassurance, I am happy to help. I know every pet is different, so I take the time to get to know their routines, preferences, and any special requirements they may have. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable, safe, and happy. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I currently work part-time at a private school during the early mornings, which means I am available for pet care throughout the day. At present, I am available from 9:00am to 12:00pm on weekdays for dog walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. From August, when my son starts school, my availability will increase to 9:00am–2:30pm on weekdays, allowing me to offer longer visits and greater flexibility. I always aim to be reliable, punctual, and accommodating, and I will do my best to work around your pet's routine and needs. Your pet's safety, comfort and wellbeing will always be my priority. I understand that every pet has their own routine, personality and needs, so I take the time to get to know them and ensure they feel comfortable while you're away. I have lifelong experience caring for cats and experience caring for dogs, including administering medication when required. During visits I will provide fresh food and water, clean litter trays, give plenty of attention and playtime, and ensure your pet is happy and secure. For dog walks, I will always keep your dog's safety in mind and follow any instructions you provide regarding their routine, training and exercise needs. I am reliable, trustworthy and will treat your pets and home with the same care and respect as I would my own.

About: Both me and my partner Zac have grown up and looked after Dogs and Cats for years. We have trained my own puppy and have looked after numerous friends, family and client's pets for long periods of times. We absolutely adore looking after all your little ones & Sky adores having friends stay at her home. I work from home everyday as I run my own Online Coaching Business so I have no problem looking after little ones running around me! I choose my own hours and am very flexible. I normally work around the pup’s schedule so they feel just at home and happy to cater in any way. My partner Zac also is home who has grown up with dogs and cats throughout his entire life and absolutely loves taking care of all our friendly visitors! He will cuddle them all night 💤 I have a fenced open garden with a locked gate. My puppy stays in the kitchen when I am out with white noise to avoid any distractions. We tend to split the dogs in the day if we do go out, so they have their well earned rest before they go back into play mode. I live right on the doorstep of the Murieston Trails which we regularly walk our pup down as there is lots to explore! I do have a crate but Sky is happy lounging on the sofa or in her bed and same goes for your own pups. She also sleeps upstairs at night and happy for your pups to sleep where they feel most comfortable at night. Your pups will have fill access to the house and garden throughout the day and night.

About: Hello! I’m Madeleine, I live semi rural, lots of great walks, enclosed garden and plenty sofas to snooze on. I have 3 children who are very used to dogs, boundary aware and know how to behave around animals. However, if your guy is not keen on kids I am not for you, sadly. Your dog will have a separate room if needed/ when required. Otherwise I have a very open household and they will be treated like a member of the family. I have experience with most breeds including not limited too: brachycephalic Breeds(I owned a bulldog) , doodles, labs, Xoloitzcuintli & bullmastiff. I have completed dog first aid and own a dog first aid kit. I mention this as I know with certain breeds and the hotter summer months approaching overheating is a real concern. Im equipped and knowledgeable! Training experience : My dog was a rescue from Japan. He had no socialisation and wasn't toilet trained when we got him. After a lot of work, he is a well rounded guy who is fully toilet trained. I like to think I'm pretty versed in basic and behavioural correction training. I had a professional trainer advise with my dog, It is an area I’m really interested in, working with positive reinforcement and trust building. I can help with toilet training, socialisation, recall, desired behaviour positive reinforcement etc I can’t work with, understandably, large breeds that don't like children. If you are planning on a longer holiday, we will need to meet before. This will give both parties peace of mind. Potentially even an over night that I will do at a discounted rate. Even if it’s just one night I'm still always happy to meet up first! I will send you daily photos/ updates and happy to face time etc! I am a stay at home mum of 3 school aged children. After school drop off, my favourite thing to do is grab a coffee and go on a lovely (childfree) walk! I know tones of great walks and love finding new spots so no two walks are the same. Weekends and holidays my kids will be off school. We tend to go more child friendly places like lauriston Castle, Cammo and Cramond. I have my doggy first aid and kit! I am scripted and ready for things like: overheating (used to own a bulldog) anaphylactic reactions (I can administer injections) , kennel cough etc. We have a large fenced garden. Dog will sleep in our kitchen area/ utility if boarding. If its just a day visitor they will have the run of the downstairs.

Kimberly looked after my cat Charlie while I was away and I honestly couldn’t have asked for better care. She kept me updated, clearly spent quality time with him, and went above and beyond by leaving me the most thoughtful little photo keepsakes of Charlie from each day. 🥹 It was such a lovely surprise to come home to and showed how much care and attention she puts into what she does. Charlie was happy, relaxed and clearly very well looked after. I would trust Kimberly with him again in a heartbeat and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and genuinely caring pet sitter. Thank you so much! ❤️

Lucy is super gentle and helpful! I don't usually get a pet sitter, especially for such a short trip away, but my fur baby had an ear infection that needed a tablet and ear drops daily to cure. Lucy helped out with that and my babies liked her so much!

FAQs for Drop-In Visits - West Lothian

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Cat Sitting in West Lothian on Rover is £15.53 per Visit (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

Many sitters respond to requests in under an hour. Whether you are planning ahead for public holidays, need last-minute care, or same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter trays. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.

House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialisation or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.

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.

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.

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 .

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 cat, 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.

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.
