“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: Been around dogs since I was a kid. From walking and feeding my neighbours Jack Russell to full on dog sitting when I became more experienced. Genuine lover of dogs with experience in walking, feeding, administering oral medication, washing + drying & providing puppy love. I’m currently working full time as an engineer, who works from home multiple days of the week. I can plan around yourself if needed based on dates and regularly pause work to walk the dog and give the needed attention, toilet breaks etc. I have a large living room with a multitude of dog toys, beds and even a crate. I will walk the dog multiple times throughout the day (as required) and take them for a play in the evening at a bigger park

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: 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.

About: Regularly looking after 3 dogs for a family from when they were puppies to old dogs. Experience sitting in for multiple days, getting to know the dogs and their specific needs and preferences. Having a pet cat, and looking after a neighbour's cat regularly. I currently have minimal commitments, giving me lots of time and opportunity for pet care. It is likely your preferred times will fit into my routine. I cater for all your pets needs, and learn their preferences to make sure they feel happy and comfortable. I like to give them lots of fuss and attention.

About: Dogs are a non-negotiable part of my life, I take every opportunity I can to say hello to every dog I meet. Since moving to Aberdeen to study dentistry, I have been renting and as such am unable to have a pet of my own. I spend time with my friends’ pets when I can and sometimes pet sit when she’s out of town. I like to run on the beach because people always have their dogs out and it makes my day when they come up and say hi to me. At home in Ireland, I have 2 Jack Russells, Sasha and Banjo, and have lived with a golden retriever in Australia for a year (Thelma). All of my friends have dogs including a three-legged rescue named Colin. Since moving here, I’ve really missed having dogs around and think that helping to walk or pet-sit would fill that void for me. I am a dental student who works part-time so I have a lot of free time through the week. I’m fully available early mornings, lunch times, and evenings. Depending on my clinical schedule, I will also have full afternoons available. I will tailor walks to your preference. I can walk roads, parks, estates, or even just play with them in your garden. I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my whole life and as a student who is renting, taking care of your pets would be a great opportunity for me to be around dogs. I will gladly take photos and videos to keep you updated with how your pet is doing also, and I’m more than happy to fit my visits around their preferences.
About: Since I was 5 I have always had pets, mostly dogs but more recently cats and rabbits. I have my own dog who is 2 and I have toilet and crate trained her. I have trained Lola a lot of skills and now she is in a constant routine I am a staff nurse in ARI so I work on a shift work so this changes weekly, I can’t always guarantee the same days but always have available days My flat is set up for my pup who is friendly and loves when my friends pups are around to have a play. I have Lola’s travel crate so I can easily help with crate training when I have your pup to stay
About: I previously worked as a kennel assistant at Lumphanan Pet Hotel, where I was left in charge of the kennels and took care of up to 20 dogs per day, this included walking, feeding, grooming, cuddling and playing with the dogs as well as administering medications. I am a true dog lover who would love to be able to help you out! I work offshore on a 2/2/2/4 rotation (so 2 weeks offshore, 2 weeks onshore, 2 weeks offshore, 4 weeks onshore). When I’m onshore I am completely free for dog care. If my calendar is booked out don’t hesitate to get in touch as my partner also loves dogs and is at home most weekends. I have a fenced, private garden with grass and live round the corner from Duthie Park, the River Dee, and the Deeside Way where I take myself for daily walks!
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.
“I had a last minute cancellation and on very short notice Zhi was able to support us providing the service we were looking for. And I am so happy that he did as I felt that, not only Sky was taken care of, but I could trust him with the house. Zhi understood I was under pressure and I felt reassured when we weren't at home sending us pics, videos and updating us on how things were going. Sky loved him and the walks she went with him. I'm certain Sky will remember him when we book him again and again!! Thank you , Zhi!”

“I was really pleased with Evelyn the cat-sitter. She fed and watered the cat every day and sent photos. She also dealt with the litter tray. The cat seemed to enjoy her visits as shown by the photos. I would be happy to use Evelyn again.”

“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 have been dog walking and house/pet sitting for the last 5 years in the USA. My love for this started as a weekend of looking after my friend's dogs to becoming a dog walker and house sitter for repeat clients and their precious pups and cats. I grew up on a farm, so am very used to being around animals. Growing up my family had Dalmatians, pointers and cats. Being a student, I have not been able to have my own pet and miss it terribly, so by you letting me look after and love your pet I get to fulfill the missing part in my life. I have worked with different kinds of dogs, from Bernese mountain dogs to short haired pointing griffons. Each dog owner has chosen which method they would prefer their dog to be trained in. I also worked in a gourmet pet shop in Rye New York, where I learned a lot about allergies and different breeds of dogs and cats. For a short period of time I did some volunteering in an animal hospital in Armonk, New York. Usually, I like to have a conversation with the pet owner to find out their personal wants and needs for the furry family member. I am good at communication and love to up date owners with photos and videos. Choosing me gives you the assurance that your pet will be loved and well taken care of. Before moving to Aberdeen I had a steady set of clients who would text me on a need to need basis. I would often spend weeks at a time with the pet and looking after the owners homes. I became known from word of mouth. This is my second month in Aberdeen and I am excited to get into a new routine with your pets. I am a full time student, studying a Doctorate in Physiotherapy so I would be able to walk and stay with pets during the times I am not attending school. When a client is interested in my services I usually have a phone call or meet in person to learn about their pet and their pet's needs/wants. I am very good at communicating and being direct about my capabilities and non capabilities. I respect that the owner has trusted me with their property and pet and I take this trust very seriously. When looking after the pet and home, I make sure to clean up after the pet and follow any routine that the owner wants for their pet. Safety is also very important for me when looking after a home.
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: Moved back home home from uni full time during the holiday period and working an internship until 5pm. I’m absolutely dog-crazy and have owned dogs my whole life and had lots of experience with senior and young dogs of all sizes. Flo, my springer spaniel, is super friendly and very active so I’m very used to lots of walkies and crazy dogs!! I am looking to keep busy and active in the evenings so have full availability most days from 5pm onwards I work until 5pm and will have full availability in the late afternoons/evenings. I am living at home for the summer with my dog-mad family so I will be available whenever to take care of your fluffy friends ! Depending on your dogs needs I will follow any instructions carefully and give them all the love and care they need. If house sitting/visiting I will be sure to lock any doors, ensure you’re dog is watered and fed and given lots of hugs! I’m very conscious to keep things tidy and pride myself on being very trustworthy. Regarding walks I’m happy to keep dogs on leads or not depending on how comfortable you are and your preferences. I know lots of dog safe routes in the woods, local parks and along various beaches around Aberdeen/Aberdeenshire. My garden is also fully fenced and I’m always contactable should you need to reach out to me at all

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 😊
