“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 :)”


About: Hi, I’m Kieran! I’ve spent the last five years caring for my own two dogs, a Caucasian Shepherd and an energetic Pembroke Welsh Corgi. Looking after two completely different breeds has given me hands on experience with dogs of all sizes, personalities and exercise needs. From managing the strength and protective instincts of a giant guardian breed to keeping an intelligent, active small dog mentally and physically stimulated, I’ve learned that every dog is unique and deserves patient, consistent care. I offer reliable dog walking, drop-in visits and pet sitting, always tailoring my care to suit each dog’s individual routine. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, enrichment activities or simply a calm companion while you’re away, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise and affection. I work in education, so during school holidays I have excellent availability throughout the day. During term time I’m available before work, in the evenings, weekends and throughout school holidays, allowing me to provide flexible care around your pet’s routine. Friends, family and colleagues know me as dependable, organised and calm under pressure qualities that are especially important when caring for someone else’s beloved pet. I understand how much trust owners place in their sitter, and I take that responsibility seriously. When your dog is with me, I’ll treat them exactly as I do my own with kindness, patience and genuine care. My goal is for both you and your dog to feel completely comfortable and confident from our very first meeting. I’ll keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you always know your pet is happy, safe and enjoying their time with m I’m currently on annual leave for the next 6 weeks so have availability every day as I work in education. I can work to meet the needs of you and your pet. I understand that leaving your dog with someone else’s is a big decision, so I treat every dog as if they were my own providing plenty of exercise enrichment and a safe secure environment. My goal is to ensure both you and your dog feel comfortable confident and happy from the moment we meet.

Recently I have been taking care of my neighbours dog that has been having seizures few times a day I also know how to perform CPR on a dog. Please message me to find out more I don’t work at the moment as I have a full time working partner. My typical day is waking up nice and early, getting ready for the day, going for a gym session and then a 2-3 hour walks with my four legged bundle of joy named Chapo🥰 I have a very friendly dog myself an American Bulldog he is a big softie. He is allowed on the furniture as he is a huge part of the family. We have a spare room just incase your dog will need some alone time to relax or he can happily be with us all.

About: Ive grown up constantly being around animals and pets of my own as well as of friends and family. Ive been a reliable dog walker since childhood and feel confident and comfortable around all animals with all personalities!! Currently a student, very minimal hours out of house during the week, part time working on weekends but always trying to get out for a dog walk! My flat is pet friendly and with no other animals around there is no worry of conflicts. I don't currently have an outdoor space but am a short walk from the beach and local parks! When out on walks I always keep a close eye and maintain confident leash control.

About: Hello! my names mhairi, and i graduated from an animal behaviour degree two years ago. I currently work as a microbiologist, and go hiking in my spare time. Growing up i had 5 cats, and have always loved looking after them and getting to know their personalities,as they are always so unique. I did some cat sitting on here during uni, but took some time out to focus on work. Im excited to get back into cat sitting,because i love it so much. ;) I study a masters and have a very flexible schedule. I am available most hours of the day and can work your pet care around what works best for you and your pet! I have a nice and quiet flat on a quiet street. When caring for a pet at your home, I will gather as much information from yourself to give the pet the most comfortable and familiar environment possible, as well as adapting to any particular needs!
About: I have had dogs my entire life and cats for the majority of my childhood. I have experience with big dogs, small dogs, puppies cats and kittens too! I would love to look after their pet and provide peace of mind for you when you are not there. I live in Aberdeen and do shift work full time so my work days can vary. I currently work full time but have shift patterns that mean I am off sometimes 5 or 6 days in a row. Some days I only work until 1 pm and other days I don’t start until 2. So I have plenty of time to fit pet care in around my work :) I cannot take pets into my home overnight. I am very happy to do pop ins to feed and play with dogs and cats or dog walks. I can pet sit in your home if that is required. I like walking and can offer long walks for more energetic dogs or short walks for slower or smaller dogs :) I do not want to take any reactive or aggressive dogs unfortunately.
“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!”


About: I grew up in a home with 5 dogs, helping raise puppies from birth and caring for senior dogs, so I understand pets at every stage of life. I also have experience in dog shows, giving me extra knowledge in handling, grooming, and training. Whether it's playtime, walks, or extra care for older pets, I ensure every pet feels like they’re right at home! Me and my Partner recently got a dog of our own and she is the centre of our world and fab with other dogs and humans alike 😊 I'm currently at university, but my schedule is very flexible with classes only one day a week. This gives me plenty of time to fit in walks, playtime, and check-ins, making sure each pup gets the attention they need. I love caring for pets both at my place and yours! At my home, they get lots of playtime and I create a cozy space for them to relax. At your place, I make sure they feel comfortable with walks, cuddles, and keeping their routine just as usual.
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.
“Zhi looked after our cat Luna for 2 weeks while we were away visiting family (drop in visit). My cat is not really friendly with new people so we were a bit nervous, but Zhi managed to earn her trust very fast. We have come home to a very happy Luna. He always provided updates, photos and videos for us. I highly recommend him, he went above and beyond to give the best care for Luna. We look forward booking with him again. Thank you Zhi once again.”

About: I’ve owned and cared for two dogs over the past 10 years, so I’m very familiar with daily routines, feeding, walking, and giving lots of attention and care. I’ve also house sat and dog sat for friends and family, caring for pets in their own homes and making sure they stay comfortable in their usual routine. In addition, I’ve volunteered and helped host fundraisers for my local animal shelter, which has given me even more experience around different dogs and personalities. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes and energy levels, and I understand how to read their behaviour to make sure they feel safe and comfortable. Being away from my own dogs while studying abroad has made me miss that companionship, which is why I genuinely love spending time with animals and treating them like my own. I’m currently an international student from Canada completing my bachelor’s degree, which gives me a flexible schedule throughout the week. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and check-ins during both weekdays and weekends, and I’m able to adjust my routine to fit your pet’s needs. I’m currently unable to host pets in my own home as I’m living in student accommodation, but I’m very comfortable caring for pets in their own home where they feel most relaxed and secure. I always follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walk preferences, and any specific instructions you provide. I take safety seriously on walks, ensuring dogs are always securely leashed (unless instructed otherwise) and in safe environments. I treat every home with respect and always aim to create a calm, positive experience for your pet.
About: I've lived with raised ,trained and cared for dogs my entire life .I have a lot of experience with large dogs and i look after my elderly relatives German sheperds often. I am currently studying mechanical engineering at the University of Aberdeen so I have to work around that but as most classes r online I have a lot of free time. By keeping the dog company taking it outside regularly for poo breaks , ensuring it always has water and is fed according to its routine.
“We’re really grateful to have found Kate I feel comfortable leaving our dog in her care. She is a reliable, flexible and patient dog sitter with fast and regular communication. We’ve booked her in for a regular day each week but she has been willing and flexible to come and support us on other ad hoc days too. We have a nervous dog and I know that week by week she is giving him the time he needs to get closer and build trust with her.”

About: I’m a pet lover with a big cat called Lubo! In my free time i love to walk and love to take dogs along with me! I’ve always taken care of family dogs and been the dog walker for the family from french bulldogs and shitzu’s to labradors and beagles. I’ve also raised 3 amazingly behaved cats since I was young with pure love. On a usual day I work mostly morning shifts 3 days a week so am available from early afternoon onwards to care for any type of pets! I will adapt to the needs of the pet advised by the owner and will care for them as needed and required to the best of my ability
“Fernanda was incredible with our cat Gordo. She really looked after him so well while we were away for a week and he clearly enjoyed her company too... Don't think he noticed we were 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: I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember and have around four years of experience caring for them. Friends, neighbours and family often trust me to look after their dogs when they need help. I truly enjoy spending time with dogs going on walks, playing, and making sure they feel comfortable and happy while their owners are away. Every dog has a different personality, and I always try to understand what makes them feel relaxed and safe. My favourite breeds are Labradors and Staffies I absolutely adore them but I genuinely love dogs of all breeds and sizes. Being around dogs always makes my day better, and I treat every dog I care for like they’re my own. As I’m new on Rover, my prices are currently a bit lower while I build up my profile and reviews. I really appreciate every booking and always make sure your pet gets the best care. 🐾 I currently work part-time, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of free time to care for pets. I’m usually available during the week for walks. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first for me. I follow your instructions carefully and make sure your pet feels safe, calm and well cared for while you’re away.

Grace was so lovely when we met her for the meet and greet. She took the time to listen to all of my dogs needs and quirks. My dog can be quite anxious but she took to Grace straight away and it was clear in the photos shared with us on each visit that she was always happy and well looked after. Thanks so much Grace!

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.

Emma was fab with Pippa. She can be a little timid with new people to begin with but Emma gave lots of cuddles and reassurance which was great. Emma took her out for a walk at the local park to let Pippa stretch her legs as well. We have Emma booked in for a weekend stay in December and have no doubts Pippa will be well looked after with lots of cuddles and playtime 😊
