“Harris & Maria took our 8 year old GSD for a night and simply took the best care of her. Freya got on well with their dog Molly and will hopefully continue to bond with her on future bookings. Both Harris & Maria love dogs and it’s clear to see. They welcomed Freya with open hearts and genuinely inspired us with confidence that she had found a home away from home. We’ve already booked her in for some future retreats! Thank you both for taking such diligent care of our Freya. See you soon. Tina & Al.”
“Barry and Hilary are fab dog sitters and Alfie is so settled with them. They keep us updated on how he’s getting on and it’s clear to see they love having him and ensure he has a great time with them.”
About: Ran a home care for dogs successfully for a few years before moving to Scotland. Both dogs and pet parents loved me and they called me the dog whisperer .I grew up with dogs and chickens since I was a child. I teach singing and phonics online.. I live with my husband who works from home. Our days are relaxed and our Labrador retriever is our baby. I have a large garden for play and the dogs are like family members .They will not be in crates , unless requested. Lots of cuddles and playtime guaranteed
“We were delighted that Debbie looked after Brodie so well. He was obviously very settled on our return and had certainly made himself at home! Debbie’s family were also very involved in looking after him. She was happy to send messages and photos while we were away. Should we need home boarding again we would love Debbie to take such good care of him again”
About: I grew up with dogs since I was born, as did my partner Alex. We have had Chula (a sprightly and loving cockador) for almost 5 years now. Chula is the friendliest girl you’ll ever meet, she gets on with all dogs and loves having friends around to play and keep her company. I work from home most days, my partner Alex works from home some days also. I go out with Chula in the morning, at lunch and in the evening and during the day she chills wherever she wants during the day. We have a big enclosed garden that she enjoys also. I have a fenced garden and a loving female doggy who can keep your fur baby company. I have a flexible job and can attend to the dogs needs at any time of day. We also enjoy regular walks. I can crate your dog if needed
“Ali took incredible care of our dog while we were away for a couple of nights. Ember loved playing with Ali’s three dogs and she came home very happy and very tired from all the fun she’d had. Ali kept us up to date with photos throughout. We will definitely book again!”
“Hope and her husband took amazing care of our Dexter! From the very first meet and greet till the day we picked him up they have been extremely kind, welcoming and have clearly treated Dexter like one of their own whilst we were away So many photos and videos throughout which helped give me peace of mind knowing he was happy and content Will definitely be using Hope everytime in future”
“I could not recommend Magdalena and her partner any more, they have look after my cockapoo Lulu very well and understand her personality and needs amazingly. We received photos and updates through every day. Thank you very much for being so amazing 🤩”
“Hamish was very excited when we drove up to Sarah’s, jumped out of the car and ran in. Sarah sent me photographs a wee while later. He was settled nicely. He’d been unsettled during the night, unfortunately for Sarah. But he was fine when I collected him. He sat on my knee and slept when we got home. 24 hrs later and he’s definitely back to normal. He’s 7 and in all that time he’s only had 1 night away from family, but Sarah looked after him really well. He’s looking forward to another visit in the future, hopefully. Thank you, Sarah”
“Fantastic doggy sitter with lots of photos and videos to put your mind at ease that your pup is happy. They took Teddy on several walks a day too. Great communication and the whole family clearly love dogs! Thank you Lenka.”
“Zara absolutely loves Daniela! She came back so happy and didn’t want to say goodbye to Daniela. Daniela sends frequent updates, cares wonderfully for Zara and is a true animal lover. We are so glad to have found her. Thank you again ❤️❤️❤️”
About: I’ve had pets of my own in the past, from hamsters to Scottish Deerhounds. I have a level 2 in animal care I completed online when I was going down route of vetinary nurse but choose lift engineering instead, so I am a strong & can handle large breeds. I Frequently dog sit at family and friends homes for their animals! Walk my neighbours dogs and I’m just that girl that has to stop and clap your pet! Missing having the love and able to care for one of my own so here I am. I work full time mon - fri. Finish 2pm Fridays and off weekends. I can do drop ins / or walks on most evenings during week and house / pet sitting on weekends I’m free / board options also. I have a comfy and secure home. Secured garden and fields / woodland surrounding for great walks with any dogs or pets I have staying. I love dog cuddles and theyd be welcome to share sofa with me on evenings and relaxation time
“I can’t recommend Rhona highly enough! She took exceptional care of Mindy, and it was brilliant that Mindy got to spend time with another Border Collie, Lottie. Receiving so many lovely pictures while we were away was fantastic. Rhona is a wonderful, trustworthy sitter who we will definitely use again. A+”
“Shubham and his lovely family welcomed Dash into their home. They sent regular updates of him relaxing and playing with their dog and young son. Shubham was very communicative throughout the process. Would definitely recommend!”
“Lizzie was amazing with brandy, unfortunately we had lost one of our dogs and brandy was not coping well without her. Lizzie made sure she had all the human contact she needed and went above and beyond during brandys stay. I will definitely use Lizzie again in the future.”
“We met Kassandra and her very well behaved German Shepherd a few days before Buster was due to stay with Kassandra, to make sure he got along well with her dog. She asked a lot of questions to make sure she could look after Buster as well as possible, and answered all our questions very satisfactorily. I was also very impressed by how well Buster took to her when we met, as he is often quite wary of new people. So I was very comfortable to leave Buster with her for a few nights. She kept us updated about all his walks and how he was eating (he can sometimes go off his food a bit in new places), and even sent us some very nice pictures of him enjoying himself with his new friends Keira and Mr Poe (his first cat!). When I went to pick Buster up, he was clearly very happy. Overall I was very pleased with how Kassandra looked after my dog, and she will definitely be my first call if I need Buster looked after again in future.”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and genuinely love caring for them. Growing up, I had a Border Collie who was part of our family until I was 16. Later, I raised a Springer Spaniel from a puppy, teaching everything from basic commands like “sit” to loose-lead walking. Today, my partner and I have our own Cockapoo, Rhubarb, who is a fun-loving, friendly boy with lots of energy. We’re continuing his training ourselves, and he absolutely loves meeting and playing with other dogs, making him a great companion. Every dog is unique, and I’m happy to tailor my care to their individual needs. Whether that’s sticking to a specific feeding routine, administering medication, accommodating dietary requirements, enjoying long walks or simply understanding the little quirks that make your dog special, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy and loved while they’re with us. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I’ll care for your dog as if they were one of my own, giving them plenty of affection, attention and a home-from-home experience. Having recently been made redundant, I now have plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your dog, ensuring they receive lots of attention, exercise and companionship. Even when I return to work, both my partner and I work from home, so your dog will rarely be left alone and will always have company and care throughout the day. Although we live in a flat, we have our own private, secure, fully fenced garden that’s exclusively for our use. It’s a safe space where your dog can play, explore and burn off some energy with Rhubarb if they enjoy canine company.
About: As a loving dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. I have experience caring for my Golden Retriever, Whisky, and understand dogs’ needs, routines and personalities. I’m patient, reliable and attentive, whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding or simply providing cuddles and company. I’m happy to follow your pet’s routine and make sure they feel safe, comfortable and loved while you’re away. I work from home, so I have plenty of flexibility to fit pet care into my daily routine. I can provide regular walks, playtime, feeding and plenty of companionship throughout the day. I’m happy to accommodate your dog’s usual schedule, including toilet breaks, meals and rest time, to help them feel comfortable and settled. I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, love and care while you’re away. As a responsible dog owner, I understand how important safety, trust and a comfortable environment are. I have a friendly Golden Retriever, Whisky, and will always prioritise your pet’s wellbeing. I’ll follow your instructions carefully, maintain their usual feeding and walking routines, and ensure they have a safe, clean and comfortable space. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos for your peace of mind. I’ll also respect your home and treat your pet like a member of my own family.
About: I grew up with dogs from the age of 2, I don’t have any official training but I do have a love and passion for dogs, I am patient, friendly and I enjoy walking all good qualities to be a dog sitter/walker. I have watched and walked friends and families dogs for the past 3/4 years. I work nightshifts 3 per week and the rest of the days I have spare time to do whatever I choose. I would like to fill my time with walking dogs which is a passion of mine. I have a fenced and safe back garden for any dog, I also have space to use a crate if preferred. I have two older children who also share my passion for dogs. We regularly watch family and friends dogs overnight or simply walk them regularly.

Were able to take Max at short notice, due to my former plans with family falling through. Communication was excellent - throughout Max’s stay we received photos and videos showing how Max was getting on together with updates. This gave us total peace of mind when away. Max enjoyed his stay and was well looked after. Would definitely be my first choice to use gain.
Hamish was very excited when we drove up to Sarah’s, jumped out of the car and ran in. Sarah sent me photographs a wee while later. He was settled nicely. He’d been unsettled during the night, unfortunately for Sarah. But he was fine when I collected him. He sat on my knee and slept when we got home. 24 hrs later and he’s definitely back to normal. He’s 7 and in all that time he’s only had 1 night away from family, but Sarah looked after him really well. He’s looking forward to another visit in the future, hopefully. Thank you, Sarah
Simba had a wonderful time with Hope and their 2 lovely dogs. He was clearly very well looked after and Hope kept us informed throughout Simba’s stay, with lots of photos. They have a lovely environment for dogs and are clearly dog loving people .Simba is already looking forward to going back 😊. Thank you!
I can not recommend Ali enough. She is absolutely brilliant and such a lovely person. She looked after Loki as if he was her own. I got daily updates which I loved so I could see how settled he was. I would highly recommend Ali and I am sure Loki cannot wait to come back and stay with her again 😁
Our cockapoo Tina 3 yrs old first time ever been away from home so happy she had an amazing stay with Arleta. Don't think she wanted to leave her when Arleta brought Tina home .You just knew how much of a bond she had with Arleta. Tina's diet was also taken care off (she's got specific meats for her meals ) regular updates & pics .Definitely booking again especially now the bond they have created after all my worries & concerns I can't thank Arleta enough she's really good a what she does. 100%
Sarah took in my pup on very short notice, I was welcomed in to meet her and her own dog and made to feel very comfortable before leaving. I got several pictures and videos throughout the days and Bruce seemed to come back very happy. Would recommend and use again.
Charlie was looked after for the 1st time by Kathryn . I was given regular updates and also sent regular photos which gave us reassurance . We had met up with Kathryn on 2 occasions with charlie prior to her looking after him which also made us feel reassured that he would be well cared for . I highly recommend Kathryn and would not hesitate to rebook

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in West Lothian on Rover is £35 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between £29 and £43 per night.

Enter your address and booking dates to see which sitters are available near you. You can also message multiple sitters to improve your chances of finding the right care.
When you book dog boarding on Rover, your dog has an overnight booking in a sitter’s home. A traditional kennel or boarding facility typically cares for dogs in a commercial setting, often with multiple staff members and a set daily schedule.
The environment and care arrangements in a sitter’s home vary by sitter. Some sitters may accept only one pet owner's pets at a time, while others may care for several dogs. Review each sitter’s profile and arrange a Meet & Greet to ask about resident pets, other dogs, supervision, sleeping arrangements, exercise, medication, and the sitter’s home environment.
Consider your dog’s normal routine, comfort around other animals, supervision needs and preferred environment. Whether you choose home boarding or a kennel, confirm what care is included and how your dog’s needs would be handled before booking.
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 .
Yes, Rover is well-suited for last-minute bookings for Dog Boarding. With 1,616 sitters in West Lothian, 68% respond to messages in under 5 minutes.
Many sitters keep their calendars updated in real time and you can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care in the next 24 hours, you can look for sitters with a 'calendar last updated' notice on their profiles.
Every sitter must complete an identity verification process before listing their services on Rover. This process checks that the sitter’s identity matches their provided documents.
Identity verification doesn't assess a sitter’s experience or suitability for your pet. To see if a sitter is the right fit, you can review each sitter's profile for ratings, verified reviews, repeat pet owner information and care style. We also recommend arranging a Meet & Greet to discuss your pet’s needs and make sure the sitter is the right fit before booking.

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.
