“We absolutely love Holly! She takes great care of our dog Chloe. She is a wonderful communicator. Very dependable. We know Chloe is well taken care of with Holly, and that allows us to relax on vacation without worrying about our dog being stressed because we are not there.”
About: Having grown up with many animals, I have a genuine love for providing pets with care, attention, and the compassion they deserve. I am dependable, responsible and empathetic to the needs of animals. I understand the importance of keeping pets in a routine to maintain their heath and happiness. My goal is to provide your pet with compassionate care and help the pet owner ease the anxiety that comes with having to leave their pet for any length of time. I am currently reducing my work hours which gives me more flexibility throughout the day. I am flexible and accessible to most suggested time frames. I am currently not offering care services from my home. I feel that most animals thrive when sticking to familiar surroundings and routines. I aim to leave the condition of your home as is or improved upon by my visit. Shoes off, Paws wiped clean, etc.
“Lauren is absolutely phenomenal! I don’t leave my dog with too many people - she’s my baby (and quite particular/quirky about things) She went above and beyond with Nova. Her communication was wonderful, she sent photos and reassuring messages letting me know how their day/evening was, and she was friendly!!! Good vibes immediately and felt completely at ease leaving my dog in her care. Can’t say enough good things!! 💛🐕”
About: Growing up, my dog Roxy was one of my best friends. That’s the root of my love of our four legged friends. I’ve also cherished opportunities I’ve had to take care of my neighbors, friends and families pets over the years as well. Whether it’s just been for walks around the block or dog sitting for weeks at a time, I’ve been a trusted source of canine companionship. In addition to these experiences, my work as an RN has given me confidence and a level headed mindset when dealing with stressful and difficult situations. Big dogs, small dogs, doesn’t matter I just want to be your dogs new best friend! I’m currently working a flexible schedule which allows me to take time for your pet! Depending on the day I’ll be avail as morning, noon or night and am free most weekends! I live in a pet friendly home with a fenced in backyard and plenty of space to run around! Whatever your pets needs are I’m happy to accommodate!
“We had such a wonderful experience! You can truly tell that he loves what he does and genuinely cares about the animals he looks after. He was incredibly kind, thorough, and thoughtful throughout the entire experience. He kept us updated with messages and plenty of pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away! He took the time to learn every little detail about Rylee and her routine to make sure she felt as comfortable as possible in our absence. He was also very respectful of our home, which we greatly appreciated. His attention to detail, communication, and genuine care really set him apart. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and dependable to look after their pets. We would happily book with him again! 🐶”
“I always feel that my dog is well taken care of when we have Mary in the house. I get the best pictures! Having Mary has opened my husband and I up for more travel. We are so happy we found her!”
About: Grew up having a dog (or 2 at times…as well as bunnies…and some other reptiles!). I currently live in an accommodation where I am not able to have a pet and I have become to miss animals more and more! There is no such thing as a bad animal, only a poorly trained one, and I treat them all with love and care. I’m available every Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday all day (and night)! My schedule can be as free as needed on those days and I am open to spending lots of time with your pets to make sure they get the best care possible! I am very careful and thoughtful around pets and other people’s property. I will treat your belongings and animals with the utmost respect and care.
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Finally, a sitter we trust with Aria! We have a hard time leaving Aria with anyone, so handing her over for the weekend was a big step. From the moment we met April, we could tell our sweet girl was in good hands. Aria was happy, relaxed, and well cared for the entire time. April kept us updated without overdoing it, which was the perfect balance. We got the reassurance we needed and were free to relax and actually enjoy our weekend. She went above and beyond, too. She even cleaned up after herself and left our home in better shape than she found it. That kind of thoughtfulness is rare. We'll absolutely be using April again and again, and we're already recommending her to friends and family. If you're nervous about leaving your pup, don't be. Highly, highly recommend!”

I am open majority of the day, the only time that I am not available is early morning 6 AM-8 AM. I am patient and willing to follow all requests asked.

“Allie was very attentive and communicated every time she stopped by the house to let the dogs out. She sent pictures every time as well as a couple videos. The dogs loved her company and they were well cared for!”
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was a kid. It was a side job for me to make money for extra activities. I would watch neighbors, families, and the communities fur babies I try to be pretty flexible with schedules, I do have a full time job to also keep in mind. So, just let me know what works for you and we can work something out! I care for your fur babies in your home like I would a child or my fur baby.

About: I've had dogs my whole life including senior dogs and large dogs. I have experience in drop-in sitting for several days at a time. I've taken care of three small elderly dogs at once, including one that was completely blind and hard of hearing. I'm comfortable walking and bathing larger dogs, as I myself have had a dog over 100 pounds. I do not have professional experience, meaning I've never been paid to dog-sit, but I have been sitting for neighbors and friends for several years. He tenido perros todo mi vida, incluyendo perros grandes y de edad avanzada. Tengo experiencia cuidando perros a domicilio durante varios días seguidos. He cuidado a tres perros pequeños y mayores al mismo tiempo, entre ellos uno que era totalmente ciego y tenía problemas de audición. Me siento cómoda paseando y bañando perros grandes, ya que yo misma e tenido un perro de más de 100 libras. No cuento con experiencia profesional, es decir, nunca he cobrado por cuidar perros, pero llevo varios años cuidando los perros de vecinos y amigos. I am a full time university student working part time on my campus! All my classes are scheduled in the morning Monday-Thursday so I’m available after 3 then. Friday-Sunday I can be there for your pets anytime! I do not currently sit in my home, but I do have harnesses and leashes available if you do not already have one. We could discuss whether the leashes and harnesses I own are a good fit for your furry friend! :)
About: I’ve been around dogs since I was a child and owned a few so nothing really intimidates me about any dog or cat. But personally, I do love cats more. They’re just much more my personality. At the moment, I honestly do not have that much time but if I do have an open day, it’ll be on the weekends and I can move things around pretty flexibly Building trust with any living thing takes time and willingness to meet bumps in the road. I’m committed to making sure your pet and your space are well respected and taken care of.
About: I’ve provided dedicated care for a diverse range of animals, including dogs, cats, bunnies, (Sun Conure, Leopard Gecko) and many more. I offer a highly flexible schedule that allows me to prioritize your pet’s needs throughout the week. My days are built around giving animals regular attention, exercise, and companionship. I understand that animals thrive best in familiar environments, surrounded by their usual sights and smells. I strictly stick to your schedule for feeding, medication, potty breaks, and walks.

I have a open schedule since i am able to start focusing on my love for animals and helping others they may need help caring for their animals The care my own animals get is they are feed once a day and get treats throughout the day and go on walks or play with there toys or unwind and watch tv and I would treat the animals in my care with the same love or however it is their own cares for them
About: I've grown up with a wide range of dogs, from Shih Tzus to Boxers, Terriers to Huskies. This has given me the ability to care for a wide range of dogs. During college I sat for neighbors and friends. I'm available to walk, sit, or check in from Thursday to Sunday! I work part-time during the week, so Monday through Wednesday won't work for me. I currently have three dogs back home. I have a Shih Tzu, a Terrier, and a Husky, so I'm used to all kinds of pups and how to handle them. I don't offer service at my house, but I'm more than happy to come to yours. I truly just miss my pups and would love to take care of yours to fill that dog-shaped hole in my heart.

I can provide a number of services including bathing, walking, feeding, cutting nails/grooming and any special requests from you.

I’ll follow your instructions of care for your dog. If there’s any special diet they follow, I’ll take care of that! My condo is very spacious and is located on the first floor. I have a hardwood floor and there are absolutely no dangers around!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Aberdeen
Our dogs think of Tim as a “fun uncle”, rules are still in place but walks are a little (or a lot) longer, and different routes than normal. Tim is great at giving updates on what is going on, asks questions if he is unsure of what the daily routine is, and really cares for Lloyd and Rosie. Leaving the dogs at home when we travel comes with a bit of guilt, but knowing they are in Tim’s capable hands makes it much easier. We highly recommend Tim as a dog sitter.
I recently used Rover for the first time and had Rebeccah C. watch my 2 small dogs. I was completely satisfied with her outstanding care of my "pups". She texted and sent extra photos as I requested. Rebeccah C. is very caring and considerate of the needs of the dogs and their owners. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for an excellent House Sitter and dog watcher. Thank you Rover for your easy to use service as well!
Riley was super great with my dog and cat . I think my dog wanted him to stay as he threw her ball so well . I was very scared to leave my pets but Riley was the best and my best friend now wants to use this service as well . Thank you Riley so much for loving my dog and cat and taking great care of them both .

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Aberdeen is $39 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $28 and $41 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 340 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Aberdeen. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Aberdeen walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Aberdeen maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Aberdeen choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
