“Elayna did an excellent job. We have a timid 6 month old lab and Elayna was very patient and gentle with him until he felt comfortable. They were best buds by the end of their time together! Would highly recommend Elayna for dog sitting or popping in to check on your pup 🐾”
“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!”
“Kasie is a respectful, responsible, attentive, kind and sweet cat sitter. During her first visit, she arrived on time and took excellent care of our cat, Angus. She approached him gently and tried to play, but today, Angus was not that playful, so she respected his space when he preferred to be on his own. Kasie gave him fresh food, checked his water, attempted to brush him, and ensured that his litter box was clean. We felt very comfortable knowing that Angus was in such good hands, and we would be happy and lucky to book Kasie again :)”
“Very grateful for Kiarra's help with our cats! We booked a last minute drop-in visit while we were away in town and she took amazing care of our sweet boys, sending us updates and pictures on how they were getting on. She has such a kind energy and professional outlook that we are sure to book with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Alfie & Ruby were excited to see Holly. As this is the first time Holly will be dog sitting we showed her round the house , garden & to go over daily routines behaviour sleep pattern walks & food etc. She has put us completely at ease for when we go off on our trip. Holly took time to listen to all Alfie & Rubys needs and that we will be very happy leaving them with her know that they will be well and truly looked after.”
About: I’ve spent my entire life around dogs and cats, and I am confident with all breeds and sizes. I spent my childhood walking neighbours dogs, before starting to pet sit in my teen years. I currently have a kitten, and spend lots of time with my partners family dogs. I’m currently studying online and not working, so I am incredibly flexible and can walk or check in on pets at any time of the day! I can easily adapt to any pets individual needs, including garden play time, long or short walks, or anything else your pet could possibly need.
About: I am a Registered Veterinary Nurse and I am now studying in Aberdeen to be a vet. I am available to meet and look after your pets during my free time. I am well trained in pet health, first aid and administering medications. I am studying at university, however generally have a lot of free time during the day. I am not always in Aberdeen at weekends but if you need me, I will try my best to help out! I am happy to stay in your home to ensure your pets have their home comforts around them. They will be treated like one of my own.
About: I've been around animals all my life including 2 dogs and their long list of K9 friends! I also had a tortoise 🐢 who in the end needed additional care in the form or tube feeding. I can manage walks with dogs up to XL size and any additional needs I am capable of managing. I work sociable hours as a chef in a nursery so my working hours are totally consistent and for local client I can easily manage midday walks or letting your pet out. In the morning say around 0730 your pet will go out for a walk and bathroom run about. In the evenings say around say 1730 your pet will go out again for an evening run about before dinner at 1800. Any pets requested a supper or late evening meal will get them at their routine time. I have been in positions of trust in every job I've ever had. Being a key holder, supervisor and role model to a large team. I have developed a quiet and calm maturity that makes me a fantastic person to rely on and out your precious put into the care of.
About: I have dog sat as a teenager for family friends and now in my adult life I have previously lived with a very nervous rescue dog who needed lots of extra care and attention and have lived with 3 energetic border collies in my last relationship. They were crate trained, 2 F and 1 neutered M. I have had cats, hamsters, dogs, geckos, fish, a python and a bearded dragon! I LOVE all animals and now that I’m at a point of not living in a home with any pets I am really excited to help take care of your little furry family members :) I have experience with reactive dogs and am happy to help with any specific needs your dog has/take into consideration anything that needs to be avoided. I have gave plenty of medications to dogs young and old in different forms, no formal training however I have done it many times and feel confident doing it. I work partially in an office 8-4 and one day a week from home, I am off every weekend. I’d love to spend the spare alone time I have helping other peoples pets :) I have a fenced garden, have no pets currently. I am happy to care for pets in your home or mine. Check ins, overnights etc.
About: I had a wide variety of pets growing up. I've always had positive experiences with pets, and i even look after my friends pets when they're away for trips. I am a student at the University of Aberdeen. I have a flexible schedule which allows me to look after your fur baby whenever is required. I have a shared, walled garden, i am also willing to travel to make sure your pet is comfortable and feels safe. I'm also a short walk away from a park and the beach :)
“She and her husband were so excited to watch Velaris for me and communicated with me everyday. It made my time away easier knowing he was being taken care of by someone who was so happy to watch him”
“Caitlin comes once a week to drop in on my puppy while I’m at uni. She has took the time to get him comfortable as he is a nervous puppy and is able to settle him while he is currently getting used to being alone. Definitely 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.

Cat owners share their Rover experiences - Aberdeen
I was very happy with the service that Kiera provided. My mind was put at ease, with photos and comments about how Rosie was getting on. My cat is very nervous of strangers, so by knowing that Rosie was well looking after, was a blessing. I can't thank Kiara enough. I would highly recommend Kiara to anyone who is looking for a cat sitter nearby. I will definitely be booking with Kiera again.
Elayna did a great job with our two girls while we were away for 10 days. She was super attentive and kept them active as well as keeping everything clean and tidy. Both our cats took to her quickly and clearly loved her visits. Our shy girl especially loved the extra treats! I would definitely recommend Elayna for her pet sitting services to anyone.
Madeline looked after my Cat Arlo, taking fantastic care of him whilst I was travelling, very attentive and provides regular updates which is super helpful to keep my mind at ease. I would highly recommend Madeline to anyone looking for a caring individual to look after their pet.
Reah has looked after our cat, Nika, a few times now, and it is always reassuring to know she is in good hands. We really appreciate the updates and attention she gives Nika while we’re away, and Nika clearly feels comfortable with her, which gives us real peace of mind! We had very limited phone signal on this trip and weren’t able to check in as much as usual, so it was especially comforting to know that everything was being taken care of. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Reah to anyone looking for a caring & reliable cat sitter 😻
Svitlana looked after my cat with drop in visits for 1 week while we went on holiday. I got daily check in reports and pictures. My cat is nervous but she looked happy in the photos, and seemed very comfortable with Svitlana after only a few days. My cat is really happy now we are home, but seems like she really liked Svitlana. My flat was tidy and all my cats chores have been done the whole week. Overall, very happy and my cat seems like she was very happy to be looked after by Svitlana. I will definitely rebook for future trips.

There are 103 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in Aberdeen. About 96% of Aberdeen sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you are planning ahead for public holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day cover for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
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.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter trays. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialisation or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poo breaks occured. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available for dedicated customer support by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalised, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a key safe. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalised codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in a flat, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or lift etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover must pass an identity verification before they can list their services. An identity verification confirms that the sitter is who they say they are based on their documents.
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 our Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes dedicated customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement programme 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 short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
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.
