“Gavin took our dog, Troy for a walk and again for a short visit as it was a long day for him. Troy enjoyed his walk with Gavin and it was good to know that he was taken care of. Gavin took photos and a map of their walk as well as writing information which we found helpful.”
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.
About: I have looked after / owned dogs for almost 20 years. We lost our beloved dog Holly in 2023 after adopting her as a young dog and we really miss time with her and walking. However, due to having two small children, owning another dog at this time is not possible. I have helped friends over the last two years and have also been contacted through them by other people to look after their dogs for holidays. I can help out Monday and Fridays during the day and weekends/holidays also. I currently have two fairly regular dogs that I look after and this is working really well for us. Please get in touch and we can see if we're able to help out with walks/holidays/overnights. I work part time (Tues/wed/thurs) so am available the other 4 days to help with walks/sitting/boarding. If I have a dog in then I am home mostly. Dog wouldn’t be left for long periods just for school drop off etc. I have a large enclosed back garden and live near a large park which is great for dogs. Also happy to take dogs in the car for trips / walks further afield. Dogs are allowed on the sofa and upstairs. Generally not on the bed during the night.
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 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.
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: 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: I am a high energy animal lover. I love being outdoors with pets and giving them adventurous walks. A hike up a mountain or a stroll in a shaded wood area, I love to explore. I am also a gentle hand with older pets and great company in doors for all animals. I have many years of experience and treat animals like part of my family. I am a part time teacher so have some flexibility during the week and full availability during school holidays. I keep my availability updated and am available for regular pop ins morning and evening to suit. I have good overnight availability. I am a well trusted and responsible animal lover who can follow your instruction so that your pets routine is not disturbed while you are away. Happy to send videos and photos to update.
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.

Dog owners share their Rover experiences - West Lothian
This was our first time using the app and we had to find a dog walker at really short notice. Leah was a life saver and made everything very easy for us. She went out her way to come meet us/Macy the day before and made us feel very comfortable and relaxed knowing that Macy would be well looked after. Can't thank Leah enough and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for dog walking/sitting services :).
Gavin took our dog, Troy for a walk and again for a short visit as it was a long day for him. Troy enjoyed his walk with Gavin and it was good to know that he was taken care of. Gavin took photos and a map of their walk as well as writing information which we found helpful.
Lucy was fantastic with my dog, Max! She kindly agreed to walk him at short notice while I was away on a course, and she did an amazing job. Max was walked daily and absolutely loved his time with her. It was such a relief knowing he was in good hands. Highly recommend Lucy to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker!

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-to-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your West Lothian. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighbourhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
