“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 :)”
“Jiao provided amazing support and care for my cat while I was away abroad. She has an eye for detail and truly cared for my cat's wellbeing. She sent me pictures and updates, and really spent quality time with my cat during each visit. Her support has been very much appreciated and I will definitely reach out to her to look after my cat in the future! Thank you so much Jiao:)”
“Emily was absolutely fantastic and I honestly couldn't have asked for a better cat sitter. She took such amazing care of my cats while I was away and gave regular updates, which made me feel completely at ease. It was clear she genuinely cared about them and took the time to get to know their personalities and needs. One of my cats is a little overweight, and I loved that she even came up with creative ways to encourage more movement, like making little biscuit trails for them to follow! She brushed them, kept everything spotless, cleaned all the food bowls and litter trays, and generally went above and beyond. When I came home, the cats were happy, relaxed and clearly very well looked after, which is the best feeling as a pet owner. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Emily to anyone looking for a reliable, caring and thoughtful pet sitter. She's been amazing, and I'll definitely be booking her again in the future.”
“As always, I feel so comfortable knowing Kiarra is the one checking in with Indya. I love the rover cards and pictures/videos she leaves for me, I trust her so much and she is my first choice cat sitter 🙏❤️”
“Mia was absolutely wonderful - very friendly and professional, and kindly sent us regular photos of our cat during her visits whilst we were away, which was lovely and reassuring. Would highly recommend!”
“Marie looked after our two Maine Coons for a couple of days and was fantastic 😊 Great communication, regular updates and lovely photos. The cats were happy and relaxed when we got back, and the house was left clean and tidy. We’d happily recommend her and book again!”
“If you need someone who treats your dog like family, look no further. What started as a simple walk turned into a mini adventure for Koa complete with a trip to the beach and a special pup cup treat. She sent great updates and photos, and Koa came home one happy pup. Thank you so much! 🍦🐕”
About: I have grown up around animals including dogs, cats, horses and sheep and have cared for them throughout my life, giving me a natural understanding of their needs, personalities and routines. I am now a second-year veterinary medicine student, so I am developing professional knowledge of animal health, behaviour and wellbeing. I am responsible, attentive and passionate about making every dog feel safe, happy and loved. I am currently a student, so my timetable varies from week to week. However, I am flexible and will keep my availability up to date. I am generally available around my classes, as well as during evenings and weekends, and I will always communicate clearly to ensure I can give your pet the time and attention they need. I do not have access to a private garden. However, I live right next to the beach, providing plenty of space for regular walks, exercise and playtime. I will always keep dogs secure and supervised, follow their usual routines and avoid letting them off lead unless specifically agreed with their owner. My home provides a calm, safe and comfortable environment where pets will receive plenty of care and attention.
About: I am an experienced and caring cat lover 🐈⬛ who worked for 7 years in a cattery, where I looked after cats of all ages, from newborn kittens to senior cats with a wide range of personalities, temperaments, and care needs. As part of my role, I cared for unwell cats in quarantine and I have experience giving medication 💊, grooming 🪮, and making sure each cat received the individual care and attention they needed ❤️. I also looked after nervous and timid cats, so I understand that every cat has their own personality and routine. I have two cats of my own, aged 9 and 10, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to take care of your pets while you're away. Having grown up surrounded by animals (cats, dogs, guinea pigs and hamsters), caring for them has always been a big part of my life. I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well looked after while you're away whether that’s house sitting, dropping in or walking. Caring for dogs or cats fits perfectly into my current schedule as I work from home. I live near by a dog friendly park where I go everyday and can easily add your dog(s) to my routine. I have access to a large garden with high walls so be assured you can have piece of mind that your furbaby is secure when in my care. I also have a spacious flat where your furbaby will have room to relax and play and I have room for a crate if need be.
About: Hiya! Im 19 and currently in college and have always loved being around animals. I currently have a dog and have previously had a hamster and bunnies however I have spent time around cats and other pets too so I’m comfortable with all kinds of animals. I’m a patient and caring person who really enjoys spending time with animals and see them as part of the family! and believe when being around animals making sure they feel happy and comfortable is important. I currently have a lot more free time outside of college and especially during holidays i feel pet sitting would be a great way to spend time doing something I truly enjoy while helping others out by caring for their pets. I have a dog his name is Cody! so pet care is part of my daily routine a lot considering I’m around him nearly 24/7 when not at college (even then I still make time for him) I feed him, make sure he has fresh water and take him for walks or play with him with his favourite toy ( a ball) and don’t worry I don’t forget the treats! The way I care for pets is by making sure their needs are met and that they feel safe and comfortable which i personally feel is very important which is why I always go at their pace. I make sure they have fresh water and that I spend time playing with them so they don’t feel lonely. I also make sure to pay attention to their behaviour so I can notice if anything seems wrong. I study social sciences so I feel that my ability to read people can sometimes help me understand behaviour better and I think that it helps me out when being around animals as how you act around animals can affect how they respond and act towards you. If I were caring for someone else’s pet in their home I would follow their instructions and stick to whatever the animals normal routine has been so they feel secure in their own environment as I would not want to confuse them or disrupt what they are used to!
“Ashton was a pleasure to work with and I would absolutely recommend him! He responded quickly to correspondence and it was very easy to get details sorted out. My cat is naturally shy, but she was ok with him in my presence. He followed instructions well and was friendly, courteous and professional :)”
“Emma is a fantastic cat sitter! I got daily updates & pics & videos of the visits, my cat adjusted to her immediately & I could see they were actually having fun, I am very happy with Emma’s service & will absolutely be asking again the next time I’m away on holiday to look after my cat 😄”

Kiarra did a fantastic job of looking after Sabrina while we were away. We were really able to enjoy our holiday knowing Sabrina was having a nice time. Kiarra was really easy going about Sabrina's routine and even dealt with an unexpected pigeon carcass! 😂 Sabrina clearly loves Kiarra 💕 Defininitely will book again in future.
Thank you Kelise for popping in to see Tina while we were away. Going by the photos it looked like she had a great time playing when you were here! To anyone reading we can't recommend Kelise enough - she was so professional, followed all our instructions and was a perfect communicator. 5⭐
Emily was the perfect cat sitter. She's so professional, considerate and Tina loved her! We felt so comfortable leaving her in Emilys care. Kept us well updated. Can't actually put into words how happy we were with your service - thank you Emily. We'll be in touch for future Tina Time.
Courtney recently looked after my cat for a few day while I was on holiday and she was excellent.Courtney also looked after both my cat and dog for a day when we were attending my fathers funeral and again she was excellent in looking after them on what was a sad day for us and I did not have to worry about the pets at home so took that worry away.
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.
We booked Kaitlin to look after our cats while we were away and she did a stellar job. I didn’t think she would see the cats as they are wary of strangers, but Kaitlin was able to find them in the house and get some great photos for me, so I knew they were safe. Kaitlin stayed in constant touch with me and was really great. Will book her again ☺️
Honestly couldn’t recommend Jiao enough, she’s so good at explaining how my buns are which is so helpful for a worrisome owner like me, it’s so reassuring and calming to know they are being so well looked after and to have the daily updates of them with every visit. Jiao communicates any issues so well and also resolves them too. She’s so kind and I’m so pleased we’ve found her!
Kate has been absolutely excellent! Very lovely upon our initial meeting and it was clear Joanie took to her immediately. Kate has been very communicative and thorough with check-ins, always including a description of Joanie’s demeanour and plenty of pictures of the visits showing loads of cuddles and playtime which really put our mind to rest being away for so long. Thanks so much Kate we really appreciate it!

FAQs for Cat Sitting – Aberdeen
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Aberdeen is £14 per Visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between £10 and £20 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.
There are 119 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in Aberdeen. About 95% 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 occurred. 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 must complete an identity verification process before listing their services on Rover. This process checks that the sitter’s identity matches their provided documents.
Identity verification doesn't assess a sitter’s experience or suitability for your pet. To see if a sitter is the right fit, you can review each sitter's profile for ratings, verified reviews, repeat pet owner information and care style. We also recommend arranging a Meet & Greet to discuss your pet’s needs and make sure the sitter is the right fit before booking.
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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who've never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover, but you're welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you've 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're 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'll have a chance to go 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. A Meet & Greet is a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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-in visits, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12.00 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 booking protection will kick in. This means you'll get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 88% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% 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.
