About: My name is Emilio, and I’m an MMA instructor who is responsible, active, patient, and comfortable caring for animals with different personalities and energy levels. My family and I have 1 dog , a German Shepherd and Pit Bull mix, along with a cat that we originally fostered and eventually adopted. We got the both of them around four years ago, so I have years of hands-on experience feeding, walking, playing with, supervising, and caring for both dogs and cats. Being an MMA instructor has also taught me patience, awareness, consistency, and how to stay calm and attentive, which I bring into caring for every pet. I’ll treat your pets with the same care and attention I give my own. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, and companionship throughout the week, including many afternoons and evenings. I’m also open to weekend care and can work with pet owners to keep their pets on their normal routine. I have years of experience caring for my own pets, so I’m comfortable around different personalities and energy levels. In a client’s home, I make sure doors, gates, leashes, and food are secure and I’ll keep owners updated so they know their pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

About: ⭐️ Meet and Greets with new clients ⭐️ DETAILED updates with photos/videos ⭐️ Extra Cuddles and Playtime ⭐️Seasoned in professional pet care Hi! I’m Savannah 🤍 your pet’s new favorite sitter (and probably their future bestie 🐾) I’m new to Rover, but I’ve always had a deep love for animals and truly enjoy being around them. At home, I have a sweet cat named Athena, and have always been raised around dogs so i definitely understand each one is different. I’m also a stay-at-home mama to my daughter—so I have a very flexible schedule and lots of time to give your pets the love and attention they deserve. I don’t just “check in” on pets—I take the time to learn their personality so they feel safe, comfortable, and truly cared for. Whether they’re playful, shy, or need extra patience, I meet them where they are, giving them love, attention, and playtime so they feel happy and at ease while you’re away 🤍

About: Ive spent most of my life caring for dogs of all sizes and ages, growing up with family pets, sitting for friends and family for years, and volunteering with BARCS. Today, I’m the proud parent of my two hound “dawghters,” Willeaux and Scarlett, so high-energy breeds, strong prey drives, and active routines are second nature to me. Because one of my girls is dog-reactive, I am highly experienced in reading canine body language, spotting potential triggers early, and calmly de-escalating high-stress situations during walks. ​I genuinely love working with dogs at every stage of life and of any size; whether providing high-energy exercise for active pups or offering the gentle, patient attention and mobility support that senior dogs need. Additionally, managing daily medication and food allergies for my own dogs has made me extremely diligent about administering medicine on time and strictly monitoring specialty diets. Whether your pet needs high-energy exercise, reactive dog handling, attentive senior care, or precise medical adherence, you can trust they will receive the exact same level of dedicated care I give my own! My schedule offers great flexibility for early morning and evening care! Monday through Friday, I’m available early in the morning before 7:00 AM and again in the afternoon and evening after 3:00 PM; making me a great fit for early morning walks, dinner feedings, or evening drop-in visits. On weekends (Saturday and Sunday), I have full, open availability all day for walks, drop-ins, and extended sitting. Safety, trust, and structured care are my top priorities for every pet I watch. As a hound parent, I am well-accustomed to boisterous personalities and dogs constantly inventing new, creative ways to test boundaries; so practically nothing surprises me, and I’m fully equipped to handle whatever energetic antics your pet brings! I maintain a secure, dog-proofed environment, double-check all gear before stepping outside, and stay fully attentive to our surroundings on walks. ​To ensure your pet receives the absolute best care possible, I always prefer written or texted instructions. Having everything in writing allows me to follow your exact home routine, dietary rules, and safety preferences down to the smallest detail while keeping you updated with frequent photos and check-ins throughout the stay.

About: Hello my names Addison and I’m 25 years old. For the last seven years I’ve been a senior caregiver until my client recently passed away. I’m looking to start pet sitting to fill my spare time. I’ve had dogs my whole life (small and large) and also have experience with cats. I even have experience working with reptiles and salt water aquariums. I currently reside in Northern Maryland on a corn farm with my two dogs. My husband works from home and can watch our dogs, so I can attend fully and give your animals full attention/if needed overnight. Thank you in advance for your consideration. I’m currently only pet sitting so your pet will have my full attention! Im also available for overnight stays if needed. I’m fully available on weekends as well. Pets under my watch will always get enough potty breaks and lots of love and attention. I know every pet is different and i try to mimic as close as I can to your pets routine you already have in place so you can be worry free on your vacation or trip!

“Rebecca was a lifesaver jumping in last minute after two other pet sitters fell through. She loved our three kitties while we were gone for a week and followed all the instructions. Our 16 year old Sasha was in the best mood I’ve ever seen her after we’ve been gone so long so that tells me she had plenty of attention. She sent us lots of photos and updates. We will definitely call her again!”

About: I have dog sat for the past ten years. During that time I have bottle fed puppies, administered medications and cared for a senior dog who had ALS. I currently work freelance remotely so I am available anytime during the week to look after your fur babies and I love to go on long walks so they will get plenty of exercise. I am a person who is big on personal space and would never want someone to feel uncomfortable in their own home. So, I would make sure that your home is the same way that you left it.

About: What sets me apart from other care takers is the level of care and attention I give every animal. I take the time to understand their personality and routine and I prioritize inclusion. I love to keep them active and mentally stimulated especially the ones that are ready to rock and roll! I am always available to give updates and even FaceTime so the owners have peace of mind. I would expect that from anyone taking care of my fur baby as well. I am naturally a very active person and being able to play, walk and care for animals is something I genuinely enjoy doing, so pet care fits perfectly into my routine. I provide attentive, compassionate, and reliable care for pets in my home.I respect each pet owner’s instruction's, including feeding schedules, fresh water, exercise, playtime, medication (if needed), and maintaining a clean environment. I make pets feel safe and comfortable by giving them attention, monitoring their behavior, and respecting their routines.

“I recently had the pleasure of working with Briana, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! From our first interaction, it was clear that she had a genuine love for animals and a deep understanding of dog care. Briana took the time to get to know my dogs' personalities, habits, and specific needs, which put me at ease right away. During the time I was away, she provided regular updates and adorable photos, which reassured me that my pups were in great hands. Thank you Briana”

About: I’ve spent years caring for and training dogs, including raising and training four Australian Cattle Dogs—a breed known for its intelligence and high energy. Through that experience, I’ve learned how to read canine body language, reinforce good behaviors, and confidently handle dogs with different personalities and energy levels. I’ve also walked dogs for several of my mom’s clients throughout the Hockessin and Wilmington area. My focus is on providing safe, reliable, and personalized care while treating every dog as if they were my own. I’m currently home full-time, allowing me to provide attentive, personalized care throughout the day. Dogs in my care receive plenty of potty breaks, exercise, playtime, enrichment, affection, and supervision rather than being left alone for long periods. Your dog will be welcomed into a safe, loving home and treated like one of my own. I have a fully fenced 0.5-acre yard with plenty of room to run, play, and explore under supervision, as well as three friendly, well-socialized dogs for those who enjoy canine companionship. I also do my best to maintain each dog’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special instructions you provide. My goal is simple: for you to have peace of mind while you’re away and for your dog to feel safe, happy, and loved while they’re with me. I’m a Registered Nurse with a background in cardiac care and high-stress open-heart surgery, where being dependable, attentive, calm under pressure, and detail-oriented was essential every single day. After years of caring for my patients’ hearts, I’ve now been able to channel that same compassion into one of my greatest passions—dogs. I like to think I’ve gone from caring for my patients’ hearts to caring for my clients’ whole hearts—their dogs. ❤️🐾 My nursing background has shaped the way I care for animals. I take safety seriously, pay close attention to changes in behavior or well-being, follow instructions carefully, and understand the importance of medications and routines. Most importantly, I want owners to know they are leaving their dog with someone who is responsible, reliable, professional, and genuinely invested in their care.

About: I take your pet’s routine seriously—and their little quirks personally. I’ve had dogs and cats throughout my life, and friends trust me to care for their pets while they’re away, including a British Shorthair cat and a dog. I know that feeling comfortable means more than a full food bowl: it means familiar routines, patience, attention, and company they actually enjoy. Whether your pet loves a long sniff-filled walk, endless playtime, or someone quietly sitting nearby, I’ll follow their lead. I’ll respect your instructions, keep you updated with photos, and pay attention to the little things you tell me matter. My goal is simple: a happy, comfortable pet—and you enjoying your time away without wondering how they’re doing. I can walk dog and feed cats anywhere from 7.30 am to 3 pm and 3.30 pm to 11 pm. Working from home so my schedule can be flexible I make a pet feels like home. I have a water fountain and can follow any diet restriction if needed. I have a three story town house and usually pets are on the first floor

FAQs for Dog Sitting - Aberdeen

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Aberdeen is $19 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $22 per visit. 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 November 2026, there are 3,057 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Aberdeen. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

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!

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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.

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 Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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 Meet & Greet.

While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

To find sitters in Aberdeen with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Aberdeen. On Rover:

  • 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 95% can help with daily exercise

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.

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
