“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: I have taken care of dogs and cats for most of my life. I’ve had big dogs, and puppy sat small dogs. I love animals, and always pay close attention to their boundaries. I’ve cared for foster dogs as well. My experience starts from 9 years old when I adopted my puppy. Ever since then I fed, bathed, and walked the dogs in my house. I am a university student, and currently I live in Aberdeen. My schedule, until the first week of December, will have classes on Monday afternoons and Tuesday mornings. Other than that I am free any day of the week. My form of transportation is mostly walking and using trains or buses. I do not own a car personally, however, my mom does and she may be able drive me to more remote locations. How I take care of your pet will be dependent on the needs and desires that you specify. If you want me to follow a strict schedule then I will. Guidance is preferred since I do not know your pet as well as you do I would like to know what is important for their care.

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: 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!
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 was very nervous about leaving our big goofy boy to go on holiday but Zhi listened to exactly what Murphy needed and provided the best care and attention to him. He provided us with daily updates and photos of Murphy which put our mind at ease. 10/10 We will definitely be using Zhi's services 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: 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: 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!
“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.”

“Kate looked after our cats for nearly a week, coming in twice daily to feed etc, both cats were well cared for and happy when we came home, even the one who doesn’t like new people or being left! Would highly recommend & will use 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: Hi, I’m Zoe! I’m a BSc Zoology graduate with a lifelong love of animals, particularly dogs. As part of my degree, I studied animal behaviour, and I’ve also completed additional training in animal welfare. I’m Pet First Aid & CPR certified and Disclosure checked. I’m also the owner of The Ollie Pack, my dog walking service inspired by my energetic 2-year-old Labrador, Ollie. Having a young, strong and adventure-loving Labrador has given me plenty of hands-on experience with larger, energetic dogs and an understanding of just how important it is to tailor walks to each individual dog. I know how difficult it can be to trust someone else with your pet. Dogs aren’t simply pets — they’re part of the family — and that’s exactly how I treat every dog in my care. Their safety, happiness and wellbeing will always be my priority. I love being outdoors and exploring, so I aim to make walks more than simply exercise. I give dogs plenty of opportunities to sniff, explore and enjoy their surroundings, while adapting the pace and activity to their personality, age, confidence and energy levels. I currently work from home, so I am fully flexible to work around you and your beloved pet. I have just finished my zoology degree - trust me I have a passion for animals! We have a lovely fenced area behind our flat which provides a great space for dogs to exercise and enjoy themselves! I am always keen to explore places on new walks. If your dog is required to be in a crate we have ample space inside to allow for this.
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.
The median cost per Visit for dog sitting in Aberdeen is £12

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! 🍦🐕

I booked Kasie very last minute, she came to do a meet and greet within a couple hours of my messages, she was calm and really lovely. my dog joe doesn’t like human touch or strangers but in her presence he was so calm and she listened to everything I had told her. Joe and arlo had a wonderful time on walkies and during the drop in visits. I would highly recommend kasie and will be using her services again. 🤩🤩

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 😊
