Leah was brilliant from start to finish. The meet and greet was really straightforward and put us at ease straight away, and everything continued just as smoothly during the sit. Her communication was excellent, super responsive and consistent throughout. She kept us updated regularly, which made a huge difference and meant we could properly relax knowing everything was in safe hands. Lucie and Kevin were clearly very well looked after. It was obvious they were comfortable and happy, which is the most important thing for us. We also came home to a house that was absolutely spotless. Everything was clean, tidy, and exactly how we left it, which was such a lovely touch and really appreciated after being away. Overall, a really positive experience. I wouldn’t hesitate to ask Leah to house sit again in the future and would happily recommend her to others.

Ellie was reliable, knowledgeable and flexible, and when it came to caring for Blu’s complex needs - I knew he was in good hands. She took the time to meet us both prior to the sit and had good knowledge of his breed and conditions due to her studies. She sent pupdates and adapted to a last minute change in my schedule to ensure Blu was kept safe and comfortable. I will definitely rebook with Ellie and recommend you do too!

Claire was great while looking after Arnie, both Claire and her husband were very friendly, gave regular updates and made sure all of Arnie’s physical and emotional needs were met. The house was left sparkling when we returned. Highly recommend to anyone with a strong breed!

Would highly recommend Hannah to anyone wanting a friendly caring pet sitter who really does look after your dogs! Hannah watched my dogs over the weekend and spoiled them like her own. I was sent updates and pictures and dogs looked so happy out on their little adventures. Definitely would book Hannah again very trustworthy and comfortable around large dogs.

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: Thank you for coming along to my profile. I’m Lucy, I’m 25 and a dog lover of all ages, breeds and sizes! I recently lost my family dog who was a Bichon called Buddy and was 13 years old! I loved him so much and enjoyed every minute I had with him. We were lucky to always have a family or friend we trusted to look after Buddy, and I would love to be trusted with your pet when you are unable to be with them. I am happy to look after dogs pets of all ages with love and care ❤️ I work full-time during the week, however I do have flexible working and work from home 3 days a week. I’m free most weekends with some availability on weekdays however not regular due to my work pattern, but feel free to message me to check! I’m local to a lot of great parks and walks for dogs, as well as enclosed dog fields if your dog prefers this. Please provide as much detail as you can about everything I might need to know to care for your pet, if you would like me to meet your pet beforehand please just let me know!

About: I had dog, Toy poodle at home for 15 years andI had experience of hamsters, rabbits and turtle also. I love animals. And I recently also got my 4months old Kitten. We need to discuss for this. I am part-time. I normally free on Thursday and Friday. If it’s small pet, that I can keep just indoors, easy for discussion. Dogs as they need time and space also potty time, may need discuss. My home have a 4 months old kitten at the moment. If small animals is still not a matter. As we have a specific room for them. I also love it to be tidy and clean. Either my home or your home, I want them to enjoy a comfortable space.

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 can't wait to have a dog of my own one day, but until then I'm excited to spend my spare time looking after yours! I grew up with both cats and dogs and love looking after my parents' Vizsla, who's wonderfully high-energy and very demanding. I'm confident handling dogs of all sizes, on and off lead, and I'm always happy to tailor walks, playtime and mental stimulation to whatever your dog or cat enjoys most. Just tell me their favourite games and routines! I live alone in a first-floor flat in a semi-rural location near Linlithgow, with immediate access to communal grounds, countryside paths and a short drive to Beecraigs County Park and the coastal routes around Blackness. Doggy walking and exercise will not be a problem! I'm equally very content to look after snooze buddies, and your cat or dog is welcome to make themselves completely at home here - sofa snuggles very much encouraged. I work from home two days per week and can offer flexible overnight boarding, dog walking, pick-ups/drop-offs and in-home pet sitting around West Lothian and Edinburgh. I can't wait to meet your furry friends! I'm pretty flexible and can offer boarding & day time stays in my flat for both cats and dogs. Happy to pick-up/drop-off in the car depending on location and can offer dog walking too. I often have availability on weekends and evenings, and I'm between West Lothian (where I live) and Edinburgh (for work) and can accommodate sitting in both areas. I will follow your instruction so please let me know exactly what you'd like for your pet. I'm new to Rover so I don't have equipment (e.g. crate or bed) but can get hold of this if needed - or please bring with you. I have access to communal outdoor space where I would keep dogs on leads for safety, but can let them off lead not far from where I live if they need a run!

About: I currently live in a house with 3 boy cats aged 1,2 and 4. I have taken care of them alone whilst flatmates were away on trips. I have also helped care for a friends puppy when needed! I’m very flexible as I am not currently working, I am at Glasgow Clyde college Monday to Wednesday. So any homes in Glasgow are very convenient as I have to travel in and out of Glasgow a lot! Also keen to work in other areas like Edinburgh as on my free days I stay in Livingston. I’m happy to walk dogs in any weather, I’ve used harnesses and leads before. I’ll take care of dogs waste and cats litter box, I groom my cats frequently and vacuum any shedded hair. And happy to feed them at their routine eating times. If they prefer their own space or want frequent engagement I am happy to do either

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: I’ve been picking up waifs and strays since 2005. My dogs have always been unwanted mixed breed rescue pups. I’m so proud of how they all turned out. I love dogs in general and have dealt with dogs with trauma issues and reactiveness. Happy to adapt to individual dogs needs. I have experience with senior dogs too. As I have my own dogs, all sitting and boarding will be in my home. I have a secure garden. Your dog would become part of the pack whilst here. Walks and visits are also available. I am off work/in transition at the moment. Free most days, evenings and nights. My dogs are extremely well catered for and yours would be too if joining our pack. I have a secure garden and local park round the corner. Happy to offer longer adventure walks 1-2 hours if required. I can transport dogs as long as they are savvy enough in the front seat of my van. Again, happy to listen to owners and adapt to individual dogs needs.
