If you want to visit a dog-free attraction such as the Inverness Castle Experience or Urquhart Castle, or you simply need a walker while you are out for the day, the easiest route is one of the established UK booking platforms, which vet sitters, handle payment and insurance, and cover the Inverness area. Always meet the sitter and the dog beforehand, and share your vet details and emergency numbers.
Rover is the largest pet-care marketplace in the UK, listing local Inverness dog walkers, day carers and boarders with reviews, photos and insured, vetted profiles. You can filter by service, dog size and dates and book directly through the app.
๐ก Book a short trial walk on your first day so the dog and sitter meet before you rely on them for a full-day visit
Tailster is a UK-wide pet-care platform connecting owners with vetted, insured local carers for walking, sitting and boarding, including the Highlands. You post your requirement and receive quotes from nearby carers to compare.
๐ก Post your dates a week or two ahead in summer, when Inverness carers get booked up during the busy tourist season
TrustedHousesitters is a membership platform that matches travellers and pet owners for in-home, live-in sitting, so your dog can stay in familiar surroundings rather than being boarded. It works well for longer Highland trips and is used across Scotland.
๐ก This suits owners based in the UK who need cover at home, more than short-stay visitors; arrange and vet any sitter well in advance
