About: Your dogs will love the time to play outdoors. They will be treated like any dog would ever be treated with love and care. I love dogs and have spent many years with them and caring for them! I have spent time with many dogs doing training sessions with obedience, can always add some extra learning for them while they are with me for a walk or even staying the night with me. Will have multiple toys for your dog to keep them busy. I’m currently not working and have plenty of time to spend with your furry friends! To make them happy and not worry about you not being at home or around I treat every dog like it’s one of my own. If they need any help or extra love abs attention they will get it from me.
“We were a bit hesitant at first to have someone stay in our home with our brand-new puppy, but Jeremy and his wife quickly put us at ease. They sent us endless photos and updates throughout the day, kept us completely in the loop, and treated our little guy with so much love and care. They even cleaned up after his puppy accidents and left our home spotless when they left. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience, highly recommend Jeremy to anyone looking for trustworthy, caring sitters!”
“Christopher was absolutely amazing! We had Chris house sit for two weeks and he made sure not only visit multiple times a day for bathroom breaks and feeding but also stayed for extended periods at a time to ensure my dog wasn’t lonely and bored. Chris also ensured to leave the house in the exact same state that I had left it in which is great appreciated. He also provided updates throughout the time as well and I felt like I always knew exactly what was going on back home. I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs a sitter while they are away!”
“Stephen took excellent care of our pets and our home. He stayed at our home for just over 3 weeks while we were out of the country and we had complete piece of mind with him taking care of our 3 cats and our dog. Stephen was very responsive and clear with communication. He also ensured that he visited a couple of times before house sitting so that our anxious dog would be more comfortable with him. I completely recommend Stephen for your pet needs!”
“Dawn and her daughter watched our dogs over the weekend we got married. It was so lovely not having to worry about the dogs knowing they were in good care. They sent us updates every day and left the cutest gift for us. We will definitely book her again !!”
“Sara was kind enough to do a meet and greet with us before babysitting which was awesome. I loved seeing how my animals took to her right away. She kept our home tidy and our animals safe. Would recommend!”
“Megan was amazing. My dogs were happy and comfortable. They played and had cuddle puddles. Megan sent me pictures and updates. Not only did she take care of my babies she made sure she cleaned the floors, took out the garbage, even emptied my dishwasher. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”
About: I've been caring for dogs and cats since I was a child, and animals have always been a big part of my life. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience with feeding, grooming, walking, bathing, and both potty and crate training. I’ve also helped with basic obedience training and understand the patience and consistency pets need to feel safe and happy. Friends, family, and neighbors regularly trust me with their pets, knowing I treat every animal as my own. I’m dependable, gentle, and genuinely love spending time with animals. I currently work remote, so have a lot of flexibility to board at my home and attend to your pets needs throughout their stay or visit your home and take care of walks, potty breaks, play time, and grooming. I have a fully fenced yard in my townhouse so dogs can enjoy safe, supervised time outside. Inside, pets are welcome to enjoy furniture, yes, that includes the couch. I keep my space clean and pet-friendly and free of hazards. When I care for pets in a clients home, I do my best to maintain their usual routines and respect their habits and space. I'm mindful and tidy and make sure pets have access to fresh water and clean litter boxes, and lots of attention. My focus is to keep them happy, safe, and comfortable.
“Emily looked after our shy rescue Goldendoodle for a week, while we went on holidays. She did an amazing job!!! Emily truly loves dogs! She is currently taking a professional dog walking course! She was in contact with us the entire time! She sent us photos and videos throughout the day! She even slept over at our house, our rescue dog felt secure!!! Emily took our dog to the dog park for walks! I am happy that we found her! I will for sure book with her again in the future!”
“Lyra was excellent with our girl Bella. Bella did so well with her and the photos and videos that were sent for the entire week were great and appreciated! Thank you.....Lyra!!!! I was worried to leave Bella for the entire week, but Lyra put my mind at ease. (I think she misses Lyra with all the play time she got)”

“Where to begin!! I will definitely be calling on Alana for future dog sitting. She went above and beyond. Right from the meet and greet my 2x dogs were so happy to meet her. She provided ample updates and videos which made me feel like confident in her abilities to take good care of my dogs. The house was left nice and clean. Overall very happy with her services and will definitely be hiring her again in the future.”

FAQs for House Sitting - Bon Accord
Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of July 2026, there are 610 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Bon Accord. Enter your postal code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Bon Accord 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!
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.
- Garbage & recycling: Taking garbage bins 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 Bon Accord walking routes, the location of your favourite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
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 Bon Accord 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!
You can find what you need to review a sitter on their profile before booking with them. Each sitters’s profile on Rover shows verified reviews, identity check, and ratings to give a glimpse of how their previous visits went. You can also use the Meet & Greet to walk through your home, identifying which areas, like your bedroom, are off-limits or not. Requesting details of your home security through the app can also be a good way to have your sitter keep you updated about your home.
If you have security cameras or doorbells, Rover asks that you disclose them to sitters before you book.
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.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a veterinary professional or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 100% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 100% 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.
