“Elayna's dog walking service is perfect! She clearly loves animals, amd animals love her. My cocker Isla can be choosy of who she makes friends with, but she loves when Elayna comes to walk her. Elayna is prompt amd reliable, amd goes the extra mile to make sure she gives the best service. Even taking the time to dry isla after a walk in the pouring rain, absolutely fantastic, thank you so much, and we will absolutely be using your services again!”

“Holly is an excellent dog walker. She takes great care of my dog, Papi, and is always kind, reliable, and professional. I really appreciate that she sends regular photos and updates, which gives me peace of mind knowing Papi is happy and safe. She is genuinely caring and attentive, and it's clear that she truly loves what she does. I highly recommend Holly to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and dedicated to look after their pet.”


About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my entire life, so I’m very comfortable caring for animals of all sizes and temperaments—from small breeds to large, high-energy dogs. I’ve been dog and cat sitting for over 10 years for family, friends, and others, covering everything from walks and feeding to overnight care. I understand how important routine and trust are when looking after someone’s pet. I’m very active and can offer both short walks and longer, more energetic outings depending on your dog’s needs, as well as calm, reliable care for cats. I currently have a very open schedule. I am available 7 days a week at all reasonable hours. I can be booked in advance or on short notice :) I have lots of experience animal sitting in others homes, I am more than happy to do quick drop in visits or longer visits if preferred.

About: I’ve loved dogs my whole life and had my own dog for 13 years since I was 4 years old. Looking after my dog taught me responsibility, patience and how to care for animals properly. I have also looked after someone else’s dog for a week while they were away, including feeding, walking, playing and making sure they were comfortable and happy. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and giving them lots of care and attention. As a student, I currently have a lot of free time over the summer, so pet care fits very well into my routine. I enjoy staying active and spending time outdoors, so I would genuinely enjoy walks, playtime and giving dogs plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I always make sure pets are safe, comfortable and well looked after. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions for feeding, walks and routines, and I give pets lots of attention and supervision. I understand how important trust is when caring for someone’s pet and home, and I will always treat both with respect and care.

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life - from growing up on a farm to pet sitting for friends and family. I currently have cats of my own and have years of experience caring for pets with different personalities and routines. • I work remotely, so pets get lots of attention and companionship • Active lifestyle with regular 30–60 minute walks near Duthie Park • Happy to adapt to your pet’s routine and needs • Calm, caring environment with regular updates and photos included! 🤍 I work remotely, so pet care fits naturally into my routine and allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. With a flexible schedule, I can easily adapt to your pet’s usual routine, whether that’s walks, playtime, feeding, medication, or simply companionship. I love having animals around and making sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and never left alone for too long. When caring for pets in their own home, my goal is always to keep them happy, comfortable, and relaxed by sticking as closely as possible to their normal routine. I understand how important it is to trust someone not only with your pets, but also with your home, and I’ll always treat both with the same care and respect I would my own. Because I work remotely, I can spend lots of quality time with your pets throughout the day, giving them attention, companionship, walks, playtime, or quiet company depending on their needs. I’m also a big communicator and love sending regular updates, photos, and little check-ins so you can feel reassured and connected while you’re away.
About: I’ve spent my entire life around dogs and cats, and I am confident with all breeds and sizes. I spent my childhood walking neighbours dogs, before starting to pet sit in my teen years. I currently have a kitten, and spend lots of time with my partners family dogs. I’m currently studying online and not working, so I am incredibly flexible and can walk or check in on pets at any time of the day! I can easily adapt to any pets individual needs, including garden play time, long or short walks, or anything else your pet could possibly need.
“Thank you Emma for the short notice booking! Paddy had a wonderful time and was a very tired boy. Thanks Emma for being super communicative and accommodating. Will be booking again!”

About: My family had a number of small pets (rabbits, guinea pigs and budgies) that I helped look after as I was growing up. As a teenager I also contributed to the care of our male boxer. For many years thereafter it wasn't possible to have any animals - I had moved abroad for university, spent time away on placement, started full-time work thereafter with life in rented accommodation which didn't allow pets. This change in 2020 when I lodged with a new landlady and her 2 adorable cocker spaniels. We became friends and when I visit I continue to take care of them when their owner is away; daytime and overnight. That includes walks on the beach or on a forest trail, where their favourite activity is to chase a tennis ball, followed by a swim. Once home, the boys make it clear that they would like food and ongoing attention in the form of belly rubs I'm very happy to oblige with. Following their owners suggestion I registered on borrowmydoggy in 2021 and met through this service a number of lovely dogs, mostly larger breeds (German Shepherd, Huskies, Malamute) but I've also started looking after a very confident and fast Chihuahua/Jack Russell lady who enjoys meeting new dogs on her park walks. My availability varies weekly. I prefer late morning and early afternoon sessions which give me a nice break from working at home on days that I can. I live in a top floor rented flat and have access to a small enclosed communal garden to the rear of the property. There is no lift so your pet needs to be able to climb stairs. Cats visit the garden frequently. I can take your pet to the beach or forest in my car.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid, I always had a dog until 2019 when my sweet Rocky passed away of old age. As of 2025, I have taken care of: labradors, pomeranians, chihuahuas, chow chows, poodles, bulldogs, hounds (standard and saluki), daschunds, spaniels (cocker and english springer), cockapoos, labrapoos and terrier (yorkie, jack russell, scottish). I had cats (domestic longhair) when I was a teen and I know everything about them, also cared for stray kittens while I found them a forever home. I don’t have allergies. Right now, I don’t have a pet because I am fully committed to pet sitting but my husband and I consider our neighbor’s cat as ours lol! I work from home so your lovely pet will have all my attention! I don’t have children or other big responsibilities at the moment. I was a lawyer in my home country so I’m very organized and reliable. I will follow the pet’s routine as instructed by their owner and adapt my home to follow the routine as close as possible, keeping everything neat and danger free for the pet.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since childhood, and have over 10 years of experience walking, bathing, feeding, and sitting for neighbors’ pets. I have a rescue dog and cat of my own back in Canada, so I understand the importance of patience, routine, and love. Whether it’s energetic pups, senior dogs, or shy rescues, I ensure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. ❤️ As a full-time student, I’m available on weekends and some weekdays (mainly Wednesdays and Fridays). I’d love to go on walks and can pet sit in your home when needed! I provide care in your home to keep your pet comfortable in their familiar space. I respect your home, follow all care instructions, and ensure a clean, safe environment. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or companionship, I’ll give your pet the attention they deserve 😊
About: I have loved and been around dogs my whole life, growing up with dogs of my own and caring for many different breeds, ages and personalities over the years. I understand that dogs thrive with structure, routine and trust. As every dog is different, I know that some may be food-oriented, some more toy-oriented, and others may need patience, compassion and reassurance. I house-sat for a family friend for 2 weeks, caring for their 10 dogs and making sure each one received attention, exercise, and care that they needed. I have also cared for another friend's 2 dogs (alongside their 3 cats) while house-sitting, following their usual routines, making sure they got their medications, and making sure they felt happy and secure while their owner was away. Additionally, my own dog suffered from a slipped disc and had to undergo surgery, during her period of rehabilitation I, alongside my mum, gave her medications to make sure she was comfortable. She was able to be walked in a full-body-weight support harness, with me supporting her entire body weight to avoid putting too much strain on her back when taking her out to do the toilet. In addition, I performed her physiotherapy exercises, instructed by the vet, multiple times a day to ensure her swift recovery. Now, 3 years later, she is fully healed and as happy and comfortable as ever. From these experiences, I understand the importance of noticing changes in your dog's behaviour and health. Having had dogs throughout my life, I will always treat every dog in my care with the same love, respect and attention I would give my own. Currently, I have just finished my university degree, so I have an abundance of free time. I will be looking for and applying to some part-time jobs, so my availability may change. When caring for pets in an owner's home, I make it a priority to keep them comfortable by maintaining their usual routines as closely as possible. I follow feeding schedules, provide fresh water, clean litter trays, and spend quality time playing and interacting with them, making sure they get plenty of attention and affection. Having cared for cats and dogs of different ages and personalities, from kittens and puppies to a senior cat with additional care needs, as well as my dog recovering from spinal surgery, I understand the importance of monitoring their well-being and recognising when something may be wrong. I am very comfortable following specific instructions for pets with unique routines or requirements. I believe pets are happiest when they feel safe and secure in their familiar environment, so I always treat both the pets and the owners' home with respect. I also provide regular updates and photos, giving owners peace of mind while they are away.
About: I grow up with dogs and other small animals. My current pets are my dog Lily and my two guinea pigs Mini & Bella. We also have two more dogs in our family who we occasionally take care of. I work in healthcare 3 days a week. The other days Im happy to take care of your pet along with my dog Lily who will love to be yours and your dog best friend. I have fenced garden. I will follow your feeding and walking instructions. Pets are allowed on furniture in my house. I have safe space for dogs in my car. Occasionaly there may be a 10yo child in the house who loves animals.
About: I have a Level 3 VTQ certification in Pet First Aid for Pet Professionals from ProTrainings, as well as Dog Care/Cat care Level 2 (VTQ) qualified, which equips me with the skills to handle emergencies and provide essential medical care to pets, and now ensure to carry an animal first aid kit with me to all sits. I've also spent some time as a volunteer at 'Oasi Felice degli Animali' an animal sanctuary in Sardinia Italy, and cared for a wide variety of animals, including horses, ponies, dogs, cats, sheep, and goats. My responsibilities included feeding, grooming, and providing companionship, as well as cleaning their living spaces to ensure a safe and hygienic environment. I also assisted with basic medical care and rehabilitation, embracing the sanctuary’s holistic approach to animal care, which treats animals as autonomous beings and caters to their individual needs rather than trying to control them. Additionally, my experience at the National Animal Welfare Trust involved caring for and cleaning after rabbits, further broadening my animal care skills. I am currently an adult and paediatric student nurse, and have found many skills and therapeutic techniques have been very transferable to my work as a pet sitter ensuring that the animals I care for receive the best possible attention and care. I'm currently, a nursing student, however there tend to be stretches of time where our learning is primarily online so I'm able to work around that. I can provide any type of security measures you deem appropriate for the care of your pet, as keeping them safe is my top priority.
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life! Growing up, my family had two wonderful dogs, Jazz and Charly. My parents also regularly looked after friends’ and family members’ dogs, since they worked from home and could give them plenty of walks, playtime, and relaxation. Being raised in this environment taught me the importance of caring for animals with love, consistency, and presence. It also showed me just how much better life is with animals around! In addition to dogs, I also have a horse named Lincoln, and I absolutely love animals of all kinds. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments from energetic puppies to senior dogs as well as experience with horses and donkeys. Sadly, we lost our beloved dog Charly last August. Since then, I’ve moved from Canada to Scotland to pursue a Master’s degree in Physiotherapy. While it’s been an incredible adventure, I’ve deeply missed having animals in my daily life. That’s why I joined Rover to spend time with amazing pets and help give owners peace of mind knowing their furry family members are safe, happy, and well-cared-for while they’re away. Rover also helps me support my education and living expenses during school. But most importantly, it gives me the opportunity to do something I genuinely love: spending time with animals and meeting wonderful people along the way. Pet care fits perfectly into my current schedule. I have the most availability on Wednesdays and weekends, which gives me dedicated time to focus on caring for pets. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or check-ins, or anything they may need. When caring for pets in a pet owner's home, I always aim to follow their regular routine as closely as possible from feeding schedules and walk times to play and cuddle time! I take note of any specific instructions or preferences, and make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I also keep the home tidy and send regular updates so owners know everything is going smoothly. If I’m caring for pets in my own home, I make sure the space is safe, calm, and welcoming. I provide plenty of attention, exercise, and affection, and always ensure pets have a cozy place to relax. My goal is to make every pet feel like part of the family while they’re in my care
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.
Aberdeen dog owners share their Rover experiences
Holly is an excellent dog walker. She takes great care of my dog, Papi, and is always kind, reliable, and professional. I really appreciate that she sends regular photos and updates, which gives me peace of mind knowing Papi is happy and safe. She is genuinely caring and attentive, and it's clear that she truly loves what she does. I highly recommend Holly to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and dedicated to look after their pet.

I was always nervous potentially looking for someone to look after my boys as one of my dogs is nervous and not too great with humans but I took the plunge and decided to try with jemma, I met her and she was absolutely lovely. She clearly knows what she’s doing and all about dog behaviour. I decided to book in a walk before her stay at mine with my boys just to see how they got on and she got on amazing I highly recommend.🥰🥰

Katie is a really lovely person, you can tell she has a deep love of animals and she was very conscious of what was best for our dog chip. She communicated each time she walked him and sent photos. She was sensitive to our dogs age and "funny ways" I woykd highly recommend her to anyone.
Kiarra is genuinely amazing with Loki. She is kind and loving with her, but equally puts in place clear boundaries. She is so good at reinforcing our expectations for our (sometimes tricky) doggo. We feel very lucky to have found her on Rover and would recommend her 100%.
