Cat Sitting in Aberdeen

“If I could leave 6 stars I would! Leony completely put my mind at ease when I was away for a week, the longest I’ve ever left my cat, but I had no reason to worry, not only did she ask questions to make sure she was completely comfortable with my cats habits and routine but she was also so communicative while I was away! I could not have asked for a better sitter! Will definitely be booking her again!”

Claire S.

“Elayna has been excellent with both of my dogs, Winston who is 3 and Diana who’s only 10 weeks. She’s been very flexible and communicative throughout and I can tell she’s taken great care of my dogs each time, thank you!”

About: Dogs are a non-negotiable part of my life, I take every opportunity I can to say hello to every dog I meet. Since moving to Aberdeen to study dentistry, I have been renting and as such am unable to have a pet of my own. I spend time with my friends’ pets when I can and sometimes pet sit when she’s out of town. I like to run on the beach because people always have their dogs out and it makes my day when they come up and say hi to me. At home in Ireland, I have 2 Jack Russells, Sasha and Banjo, and have lived with a golden retriever in Australia for a year (Thelma). All of my friends have dogs including a three-legged rescue named Colin. Since moving here, I’ve really missed having dogs around and think that helping to walk or pet-sit would fill that void for me. I am a dental student who works part-time so I have a lot of free time through the week. I’m fully available early mornings, lunch times, and evenings. Depending on my clinical schedule, I will also have full afternoons available. I will tailor walks to your preference. I can walk roads, parks, estates, or even just play with them in your garden. I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my whole life and as a student who is renting, taking care of your pets would be a great opportunity for me to be around dogs. I will gladly take photos and videos to keep you updated with how your pet is doing also, and I’m more than happy to fit my visits around their preferences.

“So grateful to Sarah who provided excellent care for Bridget at short notice for us. Great communication and lovely to deal with. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.”

About: I have loved and been around dogs my whole life, growing up with dogs of my own and caring for many different breeds, ages and personalities over the years. I understand that dogs thrive with structure, routine and trust. As every dog is different, I know that some may be food-oriented, some more toy-oriented, and others may need patience, compassion and reassurance. I house-sat for a family friend for 2 weeks, caring for their 10 dogs and making sure each one received attention, exercise, and care that they needed. I have also cared for another friend's 2 dogs (alongside their 3 cats) while house-sitting, following their usual routines, making sure they got their medications, and making sure they felt happy and secure while their owner was away. Additionally, my own dog suffered from a slipped disc and had to undergo surgery, during her period of rehabilitation I, alongside my mum, gave her medications to make sure she was comfortable. She was able to be walked in a full-body-weight support harness, with me supporting her entire body weight to avoid putting too much strain on her back when taking her out to do the toilet. In addition, I performed her physiotherapy exercises, instructed by the vet, multiple times a day to ensure her swift recovery. Now, 3 years later, she is fully healed and as happy and comfortable as ever. From these experiences, I understand the importance of noticing changes in your dog's behaviour and health. Having had dogs throughout my life, I will always treat every dog in my care with the same love, respect and attention I would give my own. Currently, I have just finished my university degree, so I have an abundance of free time. I will be looking for and applying to some part-time jobs, so my availability may change. When caring for pets in an owner's home, I make it a priority to keep them comfortable by maintaining their usual routines as closely as possible. I follow feeding schedules, provide fresh water, clean litter trays, and spend quality time playing and interacting with them, making sure they get plenty of attention and affection. Having cared for cats and dogs of different ages and personalities, from kittens and puppies to a senior cat with additional care needs, as well as my dog recovering from spinal surgery, I understand the importance of monitoring their well-being and recognising when something may be wrong. I am very comfortable following specific instructions for pets with unique routines or requirements. I believe pets are happiest when they feel safe and secure in their familiar environment, so I always treat both the pets and the owners' home with respect. I also provide regular updates and photos, giving owners peace of mind while they are away.

About: I’ve had pets my entire life, and caring for animals has always been a huge part of who I am. I’m now 22 and currently have two dogs and five cats of my own, so I understand the love, attention, and patience pets need every day. I’ve grown up caring for dogs of all sizes, from small breeds to large breeds, and I also have experience caring for litters of kittens, small animals, birds, and reptiles. Over the years, family and friends have trusted me to look after their pets while they’re away, giving me experience with a wide range of personalities and needs. I’m especially patient with shy or nervous pets and always take the time to help them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Animals truly are my passion, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. I have experience with reactive dogs, just let me know in advance so we can plan around it. I am constantly trying to better myself with online CPD courses on dog training, behaviour and canine communication. Fully insured and looking forward to meeting my new best friends❤️ I am currently working full time, however most of my shifts finish around 12:30/1:30pm, so I have the time for my new besties. All walks and drop in visits will be carefully planned and fitted into the schedule. Please let me know your preferences on dealing with your pets as I would like to honour them. I have a car with back seat cover, hopefully will be able to upgrade to a van soon. I will make sure to check all doors and windows are closed and locked upon leaving.

About: My family had a number of small pets (rabbits, guinea pigs and budgies) that I helped look after as I was growing up. As a teenager I also contributed to the care of our male boxer. For many years thereafter it wasn't possible to have any animals - I had moved abroad for university, spent time away on placement, started full-time work thereafter with life in rented accommodation which didn't allow pets. This change in 2020 when I lodged with a new landlady and her 2 adorable cocker spaniels. We became friends and when I visit I continue to take care of them when their owner is away; daytime and overnight. That includes walks on the beach or on a forest trail, where their favourite activity is to chase a tennis ball, followed by a swim. Once home, the boys make it clear that they would like food and ongoing attention in the form of belly rubs I'm very happy to oblige with. Following their owners suggestion I registered on borrowmydoggy in 2021 and met through this service a number of lovely dogs, mostly larger breeds (German Shepherd, Huskies, Malamute) but I've also started looking after a very confident and fast Chihuahua/Jack Russell lady who enjoys meeting new dogs on her park walks. My availability varies weekly. I prefer late morning and early afternoon sessions which give me a nice break from working at home on days that I can. I live in a top floor rented flat and have access to a small enclosed communal garden to the rear of the property. There is no lift so your pet needs to be able to climb stairs. Cats visit the garden frequently. I can take your pet to the beach or forest in my car.

“Very considerate and respectful. Made sure my pup is happy and they did become best friends.”

“Natalie was fantastic! Really communicative and well organised. Most importantly, had a great attitude towards Zita and you could tell she was experienced with cats and a real cat lover. While I was away for work, I never had to worry about Zita as I knew she was in safe and capable hands. Highly recommend!”

Eleanor B.

“Tyra was perfect as always. She came to drop in on Frankie and did everything asked. He was very happy when we got back from our trip. Would definitely recommend.”

About: I’ve loved dogs my whole life and had my own dog for 13 years since I was 4 years old. Looking after my dog taught me responsibility, patience and how to care for animals properly. I have also looked after someone else’s dog for a week while they were away, including feeding, walking, playing and making sure they were comfortable and happy. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and giving them lots of care and attention. As a student, I currently have a lot of free time over the summer, so pet care fits very well into my routine. I enjoy staying active and spending time outdoors, so I would genuinely enjoy walks, playtime and giving dogs plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I always make sure pets are safe, comfortable and well looked after. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions for feeding, walks and routines, and I give pets lots of attention and supervision. I understand how important trust is when caring for someone’s pet and home, and I will always treat both with respect and care.

About: Since I was 5 I have always had pets, mostly dogs but more recently cats and rabbits. I have my own dog who is 2 and I have toilet and crate trained her. I have trained Lola a lot of skills and now she is in a constant routine I am a staff nurse in ARI so I work on a shift work so this changes weekly, I can’t always guarantee the same days but always have available days My flat is set up for my pup who is friendly and loves when my friends pups are around to have a play. I have Lola’s travel crate so I can easily help with crate training when I have your pup to stay

About: I have over 15 years experience with all pets from hamsters and rabbits to cats and dogs, I am pet first aid trained, and have my own dog and kitten. Always had animals and walked dogs back home as a professional for over 4years. I can offer fun walks either with my own dog or on individual walks. I can accommodate any needs required for drop in visits ie feeding, playing, cat litter change etc. Get in touch To arrange a meet and greet first. I am a support worker as my main job so my availability will differ from week to week but I’m able to give a few weeks in advance of availability. Any questions please don’t hesitate to message me, thank you

About: Hi! I recently moved from New Zealand and one of the things I miss most is being around my pets back home, so I’m using Rover as a way to fill that void while giving your pets the same love, care, and attention I’d give my own. I’m reliable, patient, and experienced caring for dogs with different personalities and routines. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or just relaxing company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind! Since I work part time, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate time to pet care throughout the week. I can fit walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins into my daily routine, and I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. When caring for pets in an owner’s home I always aim to follow their routine and instructions closely. I can adapt to each pet’s needs, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and any specific care requests. I also make sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while their owner is away.
