“This is our second time leaving Ellie with Jemma, and as always Ellie has the most wonderful time with her. Ellie stayed over for 4 nights and I always had updates and photos from Jemma on what Ellie was up to which I appreciate so much. And Ellie always gets to go on little adventures when she is with Jemma which Ellie absolutely loves. We have already booked in Ellie with Jemma for an upcoming holiday too. So it goes unsaid that Jemma is highly recommended by us :)”
“We are so happy we found Talib. From the first meeting it was obvious how much he loves dogs. He was so kind and gentle with our dog Stampy and made him feel completely comfortable. What really stood out was how attentive he was. He sent us lot of pictures and updates about Stampy when we were away, which gave us a peace of mind. He noticed all the little things about Stampy and made sure he was happy and relaxed the whole time. I don't think Stampy was happy to leave and he want to stay for a bit longer. We would recommend him to anyone who needs a caring and reliable dog sitter. We definitely would love to have Stampy stay with you again.”
About: I absolutely love animals, with the exception of cats (I'm allergic) but I don't have the money to support and take care of one my own so I hope you'll let me take care of yours I work part-time and am a full-time student with a free day on Sunday. So the best day will be Sunday so I can give them my full attention. I have no pets and I'm a very active person. You can expect me taking your dog on a run and hike, with the ability to keep up with any energetic breeds
“Emilie and Ruby were amazing looking after Bruno, for a week while I was on holiday. They took such great care of him, and I had complete peace of mind knowing he was in safe, loving hands. I couldn’t recommend them enough and would happily trust them with Bruno again. Thank you both so much! 🐾❤️”
“I cannot recommend Celeste highly enough. From the moment we first met, she was warm, friendly and an absolute pleasure to deal with. It was clear straight away how much she genuinely loves and cares for the dogs she looks after. Daisy had a wonderful stay and was treated like one of the family, with plenty of walks, attention and affection. It was so reassuring to receive regular updates, along with photos and videos, which showed just how happy and settled Daisy was. Knowing that Daisy was in such caring and capable hands gave me complete peace of mind. I would not hesitate to leave Daisy with Celeste again and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, trustworthy and dedicated dog sitter.”
“Met up with Graeme and Skyla before boarding. Milo and Skyla were happy playing so went ahead with booking. Graeme is very open and very friendly - Milo enjoyed his stay and I would book again with Graeme”
“Aisling was fantastic.Great communication throughout and very helpful through the entire booking process.My Hugo loved his stay and had lots of fun,will book again most definately.”
“Glen and his family were fab! Daisy had the honor of being their first official Rover guest which she was happy about. We were struggling to find someone to look after Daisy and Glen was happy to help at short notice. He made us feel very comfortable about leaving Daisy with his family. We got daily pupdates and plenty of photos. Daisy went on lots of adventures with the family and she looked like she had the best time. She was one tired pup when we took her home, which is good for us :) we would highly recommend to other and will definitely be in touch in the future :) x”

“Cindy was fantastic! Mud settled in really quickly, and she made him feel right at home from the moment he arrived. She kept us regularly updated with photos and messages, which was really reassuring. I had no worries at all leaving him with her and would happily recommend Cindy!”
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all kinds since I was 10 friends and family have trusted me to feed walk and play and look after their pets with patience and care. I’m gentle reliable and always make sure every pet feels safe happy and loved.🦮🐕🦺🐈🐈⬛ Taking care of Asher is part of my daily routine. I make sure he has fresh food and water, a clean litter box, playtime, attention, grooming, and plenty of love. I also make time each week to check his health and keep his environment clean and comfortable. I provide a safe, caring, and secure environment for pets. My home is a private property with a fully fenced backyard, allowing dogs to enjoy outdoor time safely while I supervise and care for them. I follow each pet’s routine, provide plenty of attention, and make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and secure.
“Very happy with Rodger's communication and attitude. He cared for Suki for a night so she would get more comfortable with him and his place before he takes her for a longer boarding over Christmas. Rodger is very accommodating, kind and you can tell he loves dogs as he's got a great approach. Lots of updates and photos, and Suki seemed happy and comfortable with him 😊 Will be booking again for sure!”
“I would highly recommend Nina. Leia had a great time and was well looked after. Nina was very patient with her as she is still young with ongoing training. Nina provided daily updates with photos and videos which put my mind at ease knowing Leia had settled in.”
“I can’t rate Lu & her family enough. I was nervous about leaving my boy for the first time but he was well looked after! Lu kept me updated with messages and photo’s and was great at reassuring me before and during his stay. I have already rebooked for future dates. Delighted to recommend! Lu has a BFF now for sure!”
“Chloe was excellent whilst watching Bobo in her place whilst I was away with my partner for her birthday. She was really communicative throughout and met Bobo beforehand to get a sense of him and his needs. Most importantly, she clearly enjoyed watching him and obviously loves dogs. It makes such a huge difference leaving our pet in the care of someone who has a genuine connection and care for dogs. Would recommend Chloe to anyone looking for someone to look after their pet!”
“We had to arrange a pet sitter for the first time. We did this at short notice due to some unforeseen circumstances. Zhi offered a meet and greet in the first instance, followed by a settle in session at their house to help our dog with her upcoming stay. We received many updates inc videos and photos of how our dog was being looked after. We were reassured going on holiday knowing she was in a caring home. Zhi’s dog is lovely and this also helped her have a great stay. We would definitely use Zhi again and would also recommend for looking after your pet. He was careful to consider our dogs normal habits and routine to accommodate her in the best way possible.”

Cooper absolutely loved his weekend at Jemma's, so much so that when I asked if he was ready to come home he turned round & hopped back in the door - as if to say he wasn't done with his holiday yet! We needed a sitter for 2 nights as we unfortunately couldn't bring him to our small, city wedding in Edinburgh & his usual sitters (either mine or my new spouses parents) were also going to be there. We were nervous to leave Cooper with someone new but Jemma's profile, photos with other pups & reviews won us over. Jemma was a fantastic choice for us as well as for Cooper, she is so lovely, kept in touch with lots of photos & was able to keep on top of Cooper's specific needs from medication to his bedtime biscuit! To have a sitter care for your pup as much much as you do is very heartwarming and did wonders for our nerves. I'm sure Cooper will be back to Jemma again in the future if we need a sitter again. Thank you!
Darwin was brilliant with Zak! He was kind, patient and calm when Zak was feeling and behaving anxiously when myself and my husband had left. Communication was great and gave plenty of pup dates with pictures. If I ever get to go back to Aberdeen, I will definitely use Darwin again. I highly recommend him. Thanks again Darwin. 👍🏼
Emilie and her housemates took such good care of my fur babies! Sent photos and updates throughout the week and seemed like they thoroughly enjoyed having the dogs to stay. Not fazed by having two different meals (and requirements) for a young and older dog or having an anxious dog mummy to contend with!
Morgan was excellent. Kai had a wonderful time staying with her. He got great walks, lots of love and affection. I got some lovely photos whilst I was away of my lovely boy having the best time. I would definitely recommend Morgan and will be looking for kai to stay with her again in the future.
Anglea was very responsive and genuinely interested in learning about how to care for my dog- he’s an older chap. Her dog is very friendly and the two got on really well- no issues. She sent photo updates and kept me in the loop as to how he was getting on. I would definitely recommend her.
We had a great experience leaving Ellie with Paige for the weekend. Communication was really easy from the initial booking right through to arranging the boarding and drop-off. Paige also checked with us first before taking Ellie out to meet and spend time with some other doggie friends, which we really appreciated and we also love when Ellie gets to meet new friends. Both Paige and her partner were very welcoming, took great care of Ellie, and it was lovely receiving photo updates during her stay and seeing that she was happy and having a good time. We felt very comfortable knowing Ellie was being well looked after. We would definitely recommend Paige and would happily book with her again in the future! 😊🐾
Can not thank Lauren enough for taking such great care of Archie and Seymour!! She was really friendly, had a lovely nature and had great communication. She looked after the two of them amazingly! Would highly recommend Lauren and would not hesitate to have the two of them stay again if we were back in Aberdeen!
Fantastic. Our dogs usually stay with relatives however due to illness we were left without care at very short notice. Bruna messaged and everything arranged hassle free. Regular photos and updates showed our dogs having the best time. Niw home our dogs are still resting after what must have been a fun packed weekend. Highly recommend.
My dog Meryl had a great time at Eury’s. Lots of walks by the river, in parks and at the beach and lots of pictures and updates. We arranged a meet up before the booking and Meryl loved it and was happy to see Eury at drop off. Eury and her family are so friendly and absolutely love animals. I’ll definitely be booking Eury again.
Carla has looked after our golden retriever Mabel multiple times and it has always been a great experience. Carla is very accommodating and sends adorable picture updates of Mabel and Billie together. Mabel absolutely loves staying with them and we will continue to use Carla for boarding and would highly recommend her to anyone.

FAQs for Dog Boarding – Aberdeen
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Aberdeen is £35 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between £25 and £56 per night.
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.
As of November 2026, there are 134 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across the city of Aberdeen. About 92% typically respond to requests within 60 minutes.
Enter your address and booking dates to see which sitters are available near you. You can also message multiple sitters to improve your chances of finding the right care.
When you book dog boarding on Rover, your dog has an overnight booking in a sitter’s home. A traditional kennel or boarding facility typically cares for dogs in a commercial setting, often with multiple staff members and a set daily schedule.
The environment and care arrangements in a sitter’s home vary by sitter. Some sitters may accept only one pet owner's pets at a time, while others may care for several dogs. Review each sitter’s profile and arrange a Meet & Greet to ask about resident pets, other dogs, supervision, sleeping arrangements, exercise, medication, and the sitter’s home environment.
Consider your dog’s normal routine, comfort around other animals, supervision needs and preferred environment. Whether you choose home boarding or a kennel, confirm what care is included and how your dog’s needs would be handled before booking.
We require sitters to operate in compliance with applicable local licensing requirements. In England, pet sitters who board dogs or provide doggy day care as a business may need a valid licence under the Animal Welfare (Licensing of Activities Involving Animals) Regulations 2018. When vetting your sitter, ask if they meet local licensing requirements for dog boarding. This confirmation is important for coverage under the Rover Guarantee. Read more about our requirement for following local licensing requirements.
Yes, Rover is well-suited for last-minute bookings for Dog Boarding. With 134 sitters in Aberdeen, 65% respond to messages in under 5 minutes.
Many sitters keep their calendars updated in real time and you can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care in the next 24 hours, you can look for sitters with a 'calendar last updated' notice on their profiles.
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.
