“Leony was absolutely fantastic while looking after my cat Faye while I was away. From the moment we first spoke, I felt completely at ease knowing Faye would be in safe hands. Leony was warm, professional, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. She kept me updated with lovely photos and messages, which really helped ease my mind while I was gone. Faye can be a little shy with new people, but she warmed up to Leony almost instantly, a true sign of how calm and caring she is. When I got home, Faye was happy, healthy, and clearly very well looked after. The flat was spotless, her food and litter were exactly as they should be, and it was clear she’d been given plenty of love and attention.”
“Emily did a fantastic job looking after my very shy boy. She sent lots of pictures/updates which was very much appreciated 😸 can’t recommend her enough, will definitely be booking again when needed, thanks 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.”
“Kaitlin was amazing with our shy girl when we were away for 8 days. She came to meet her beforehand, and was very great with keeping in touch while we were away and sending lots of photographs each day. She even managed to get our girl to eat some treats from her hand as she is usually very shy and a bit antisocial with new people! Will definitely use Kaitlin again and would recommend her to anyone.”
“Kasie has been absolutely amazing, diligent with checking in and letting me know how Suki is doing, and really going above and beyond to make sure she was looked after while I was away”
“Jiao did a fantastic job with my cat, she visited her twice a day, although it was heavily snowing and the roads were mostly closed with snow, she continued visiting and feeding my cat, I cannot thanks her enough for what she did and recommend her for every one. Many thanks”
About: Hi, I’m Marissa! I’m a Canadian who recently moved to Aberdeen, and I’m missing my dog, Elsa, more than I’d like to admit! I’ve always loved animals and regularly pet sat back home in Canada, so I want to continue doing what I love here in Aberdeen. Whether your pet needs a long walk, some playtime, a little company while you’re away, or simply lots of cuddles, I’ll be happy to give them all the love and attention they deserve. ⭐️ Many previous pet-sitting experiences ⭐️ Lots of love, cuddles & attention to give ⭐️ Happy to follow your pet’s routine and preferences ⭐️ Regular updates & lots of photos so you never feel too far away ⭐️ Excited to meet your furry friend! I’m free weekday evenings from 4pm onwards and weekends! I’m currently working full-time, Monday to Friday and I’d love to fit your needs into my schedule. I don’t currently offer boarding services at my home, however I would be more than happy to care for your pet in your home! I’m organized, tidy, and respectful of other peoples spaces.
“Holly is fantastic and I have user her services twice now. She is always great with Sparkles and gives me great detailed updates. I can highly recommend Holly and will definitely be back!”
“This was my first time using Rover and I can't reccomend Elizabeth enough! She took great care of my two cats while I was away - spending time with them, playing with them and bringing them toys and treats :) She sent me lots of pictures and updates of how they were getting on which were lovely to recieve.”
“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.”
“Sophie was fab with Sparkles, and learned her behaviour well. She kept me updated every day and I could tell Sparkles really loved having her around. Sophie is super easy to communicate with and I will definitely be booking again!”
“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⭐”
About: As a vet student, my course requires me to gain work experience with the animals I wish to work with in the future. Some of my placements so far have at me doing volunteer work at kennels and catteries where I would clean out the boarding spaces, feed the pets and walk the dogs. I also did some volunteer work at a doggie daycare where I would watch over, feed and play with the dogs there. While at the kennels and catteries I also learned the basics in senior care as well as puppy/kitten care. I have a Level 4 Certificate in Small Mammal First Aid and I have animal handling certificates for dogs and cats from my university. These courses mean I understand body language e.g. if they want space, as well as how to care for them in a situation where something may happen. I have also had my own dog since the age of 12, so growing up with one makes me aware of all the quirks they have and what makes dogs and cats great companions. My own dog recently, unfortunately broke her leg. Through caring for her post op as she’s been healing has helped me expand my knowledge on how best to care for animals that may have special needs. Whether it be due to injury or a chronic condition. (Total experience through my placements add up to around 3 years) I am a university student but I don’t have a busy timetable during the week. I sometimes can’t weekends due to coursework but you can still request weekends, there’s just a chance I say no. If I do a class on a week day it tends to be in the morning for just a few hours. I live in student accommodation so I am unable to board animals. I have a car though so I can house sit no problem, I don’t mind sleeping on sofas. If I am house sitting during the day I may have to leave for a few hours at a time to attend class. However I will make sure your pet gets a toilet break every few hours and isn’t left alone for long stretches of time (4+ hours).
“Kiarra has been absolutely wonderful with our cat, Mochi. Her visit cards are extremely detailed and her photo/video updates always show a very content (loudly purring!) cat. Mochi is always his happy self after Kiarra has been looking after him, which gives us great peace of mind when we’re away.”
“Sam was amazing looking after our two cats! She was very tentative and contacted me if there were any queries, the cats had a great time and were well looked after whilst we were away! I would definitely recommend Sam and will book again ☺️”
About: I have owned cats since I was a very small child, I have grown up with more than 4 cats, and they bring me so much joy, I am happy to care for more than just cats, and dogs, I have experience in taking care of a dog as well. I am currently a university student and I am able to use all my free time when i’m not studying taking care of all sorts of pets, my schedule is very flexible I make sure that the dogs have plenty of water as well as food, and usually take them on a minimum 30 minute walk once a day. I make sure cats food and water are always replenished especially on a hot day and i make sure both cats and dogs get their exercise and play time
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.

Sam did a great job pet sitting our two boys! We were nervous about leaving them for five days, but the regular pictures and updates reassured us that they were happy and well cared for. When we returned, they showed no signs of stress at all. We’re very happy with the service and would definitely recommend Sam! :)
This was our first experience using a cat-sitting service, and we could not have been happier with Holly. She took exceptional care of our cat and paid close attention to her needs. Our cat is very shy and usually does not feel comfortable around anyone outside our family. Holly was incredibly thoughtful and respectful of this. For example, when our cat was resting near the litter tray, Holly chose not to disturb her and instead returned later to clean it. We really appreciated this level of care and understanding. Holly kept us updated every day with detailed messages and lovely photos of our cat, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. She was reliable, professional, and clearly genuinely cared about our cat's wellbeing. We are extremely pleased with the service Holly provided and would not hesitate to ask her to look after our cat again in the future. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring cat sitter.
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.
From the start, Anna was very quick with communication when I booked her to look after my cat, Rue. Throughout her visits, she took lovely pictures of Rue eating and getting pets, which I really appreciated as Rue isn't the most fond of strangers. Anna let me know that Rue had been fed, checked the litter tray and kept me updated through the report on the website, which was easy to understand and follow. The whole process was simple and straightforward, and Anna made it much easier to feel confident leaving Rue for the night. I came home to a happy, settled cat, which is exactly what you want from a cat sitter! I would definitely use Anna again if I ever needed someone to look in on Rue, and would happily recommend her.
Madeline took excellent care of our cat Hamish while we were away on holiday. She took the time to get to know him and understand his personality (sassy!). Madeline gave us brilliant daily updates and made sure we knew how each visit had gone. We would not hesitate to book Madeline again for cat sitting.
Kiara was amazing, I needed a last minute visit for my cat. She stayed over an hr each day with my cat and played with him. I got daily report cards with pictures that I looked forward to each day. He was belly up in almost all of them so I know he enjoyed her company. I will definitely be booking her again in the future!
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 :)

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Cat Sitting in Aberdeen on Rover is £14 per Visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between £10 and £20 per Visit.
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 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 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.

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. 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.
