About: I’ve taken care of pets for what feels like all my life. I’ve always had pets of my own, watched for my families and friends and love to do it! I’m currently working from Monday to Friday 10am-6pm but am free before and after that. i am completely open on weekends to fit your needs! I care for pets by sticking closely to their usual routine and the owner’s instructions. This includes feeding, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and making sure they’re safe, comfortable, and getting lots of attention. I keep their space clean and always check in with updates so owners know their pet is happy and well cared for.

Her visits were always right on time, and she sent detailed reports. She was super when one of my cats was sick, and definitely went above and beyond to make sure they were looked after. Highly recommend!”

About: I have had a lifelong experience with many animals. Having owned my own pup since she was a baby, I understand the unique challenges and joys of raising a dog. Additionally, growing up with two family owned dogs, guinea pigs, rats, ferrets, chickens, and cats I have been given me a wealth of hands-on knowledge in different breeds and personalities. This background not only enhances my ability to connect with animals of all ages but also ensures that I can provide attentive, compassionate care tailored to each pet’s needs. Your animals will feel right at home with me! Pet care is an essential part of my daily and weekly routine. With two dogs, I start each day with food, walks and playtime, ensuring they get the exercise and attention they need. My schedule also includes dedicated time for feeding and caring for our guinea pigs, cats, and ferrets, making sure each animal receives the love and care they deserve. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I maintain their routine as closely as possible, following their feeding and exercise schedules. I make sure to provide plenty of attention, playtime, and daily walks. I also keep the home clean and secure, monitoring for any safety hazards. Regular updates and communication with pet owners are key, ensuring they feel connected and reassured while they’re away. I make sure to treat every pet as if they were my own.

About: Dog lover through and through. Life hasn’t been the same since we lost our beloved 18-year-old Bichon a few months ago. Caring for her from puppyhood all the way through her senior years, including providing the extra patience and attention older dogs need, gave me hands-on experience with every stage of a dog’s life. My love for animals started long before that. When I was younger, I volunteered at local pet shelters where I helped walk dogs and clean the cats’ room. Being around animals has always come naturally to me, and I’ve always gravitated toward them. Over the years, I’ve also cared for many friends’ and family members’ pets, giving them the same love, attention, and reliability I gave my own dog. I truly understand that pets are family members, and when they’re in my care, their safety, comfort, and happiness always come first. Honestly, if you can’t find me at a house party, chances are I’m wherever the pet is. Spending time with animals is simply where I’m happiest, and I’ll treat your pet with the same kindness, patience, and affection as my own. I work full-time remotely from home, which allows me to have a flexible schedule and be present throughout the day. Because I’m home most of the time, your pet will receive plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship. Whether you need care during the workweek while you’re at the office, regular walks, drop-in visits, or someone to look after your furry friend while you’re away for a weekend, I’m happy to work with your schedule and accommodate your pet’s routine as much as possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are very important to me. My home is quiet and calm, with no kids or other pets, which can be a great environment for animals who enjoy a peaceful space and lots of attention. Since I work remotely from home, I’m around throughout the day to keep your pet company and make sure they’re well cared for. They won’t be left alone for long and will always have someone nearby. While I don’t currently have a fenced backyard, I live in a quiet residential neighborhood that’s great for safe walks. I’m always careful when outdoors and make sure pets are secure and comfortable at all times.

About: Hi Everyone! I can’t wait to hangout with your dog and/or cats; and give them the love, respect and attention they deserve. I know we’d all love to do that ourselves but it’s just not always possible unfortunately. I have 6 of my own cats at home with my husband. Our dogs passed on a few years ago and sitting through rover has allowed me to connect with amazing humans and their super cool pups! I’m comfortable and able to walk multiple dogs at once if needed, Whether we’re walking or hanging out at your place, I will ensure your dog is treated with the love that I treat my own pets with, which is a lot. I will make sure they are fed the proper foods, and medications if necessary and make sure they stay happy and healthy while they await your return. I hope we can chat soon, and arrange a time to meet you and your lovely fur-iend(s)! I’d also like to thank all my clients for their wonderful reviews! It is very much appreciated! ❤️ I currently work full time Monday-Friday 8am-430pm. I am able to do weekend, as well as extended stays. My husband and I can book up our schedules quickly at times with visiting friends and family, as well as other travel, so the more notice the better to fit you and your fur fam into my schedule! I have a fenced yard but boarding is decided on a case by case basis as I need to discuss it with my family and ensure my cats would be okay and not stressed out excessively during a boarding. Everyone’s happiness and comfortability is important.

About: I’ve been around pets for most of my life, and caring for animals has always been something I truly enjoy. I grew up with my Miniature Schnauzer, who was part of my family for 10 years, and that experience taught me patience, responsibility, and the importance of giving pets love and attention. Today, I have my own cat and have also helped care for my partner’s cat for several years. Through these experiences, I’ve learned that every pet has their own personality, routines, and needs. What sets me apart is the genuine care and dedication I provide. I enjoy keeping pets active through walks, playtime, and exercise, while also making sure they feel comfortable and secure. I am comfortable following specific feeding routines, providing companionship, maintaining cleanliness, and respecting each owner’s instructions. Whether your pet is energetic, playful, shy, or simply needs some extra attention while you’re away, I will treat them with the same patience, respect, and care I would want for my own pets. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy and I am excited to dedicate more time to providing reliable, high-quality care for pets and their families. My schedule allows me to be flexible and plan my time around pet visits, walks, feeding routines, and companionship. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I make it a priority to follow their normal routines and provide dependable care. Whether your pet needs exercise, playtime, attention, or simply someone to keep them company, I enjoy making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away. Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for any pet. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every animal with patience, respect, and attention. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow their instructions carefully, maintain their normal routines, keep their environment clean, and provide updates so owners can feel confident while they are away. For walks and visits, I focus on safety by paying attention to each pet’s personality, comfort level, and energy needs. I make sure they receive proper exercise, supervision, and positive interaction. If caring for pets in my own home, I provide a calm, clean, and comfortable environment where pets can feel secure. I always respect each pet’s individual needs and make sure they receive the same care and attention I would want for my own.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Aboyne

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Many sitters respond to requests in under an hour. Whether you are planning ahead for public holidays, need last-minute care, or same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once.

Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.

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.

You can coordinate how much supervision you want directly with your sitter. While every sitter’s schedule varies, here are some examples of supervision by pet care service:

  • Boarding or doggy day care: Many sitters can provide frequent companionship because they design their day specifically around the pets in their care or work from home.
  • House sitting: Your sitter generally stays in your home for the requested duration, which may include overnight care. They may step out briefly to visit other pet clients, but your home remains their primary base.
  • Drop-in visits or dog walking: These can be scheduled in 30- or 60-minute windows (and can be shorter or longer at your request) to help your pet receive dedicated attention and care during those specific times.

Interested in constant or 24/7 care? This service often incurs an additional fee but many sitters are happy to discuss this option with you.

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 Aboyne 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 do not have any disqualifying offences.

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.

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.

Payment is handled securely through Rover. For a one-time booking, your payment method is charged at the time of checkout when you submit your booking request. This charge will include fees payable to Rover. Your booking is confirmed once the sitter accepts it.

If the request is not accepted, the pending charge is released in 1-7 days. How long it takes to disappear from your account depends on your payment provider.

For eligible recurring weekly services, you are charged for the first week when you book and then each Monday for the upcoming week. You’ll see the full price before you confirm. Always pay through Rover so your booking remains eligible for the Rover Guarantee and support.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
