“Jemma was a delight and looked after Ru very well. Was happy for a meet and greet in advance of the big day. And on the day went for lots of lovely walks with Ru, despite the mixed weather! They even went for a wee puppaccino in a local cafe. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend Jemma for the most excellent care 🐶☕”
“Evelyn helped me out on short notice and changed a plan to better suit what I needed, she provided update throughout the day and I got a happy dog back! Would recommend 🙂”
About: I have hands-on experience helping to care for my relatives’ dogs, Annie, Bruno and Terra. This has made me comfortable with dogs of different sizes, ages and personalities, including puppies and medium breeds. I am calm, patient, responsible and attentive, and I understand that every dog has their own routine and individual needs. I will carefully follow all feeding, walking and care instructions and give every dog plenty of attention in my calm, pet-free home. I also live very close to Duthie Park, which is ideal for enjoyable walks and exercise. Owners will receive regular photographs and updates for reassurance. I am currently taking a planned career break, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide dogs with individual attention, companionship and care throughout the day. I am available for weekday and weekend doggy day care and overnight boarding, subject to availability and advance notice. I offer a calm, comfortable and pet-free home where your dog will receive plenty of individual attention. I will carefully follow all feeding, walking and care instructions and maintain their usual routine. I live close to Duthie Park and have access to a large communal garden; dogs will always be supervised and kept safely on a lead in communal areas. I will also provide regular photographs and updates for your reassurance.
About: I've grown up in a family that has always loved dogs, so caring for them has been a natural part of my life from a young age. I truly enjoy being around dogs and understand the love, attention, and patience they need to thrive. As a dog owner myself, I have hands-on experience with daily care, exercise, enrichment, and understanding that every dog has their own unique personality and needs. I'm currently completing additional training to further develop my knowledge and skills, allowing me to provide the highest standard of care. My goal is to ensure that both you and your dog feel comfortable, supported, and confident while in my care. I will always take the time to understand your dog's routine, preferences, and needs so that both you and your furry friend have the best possible experience. As a student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to the dogs in my care. From September 2026, I will be attending campus three days a week during term time, with my timetable to be confirmed. I will always ensure your dog receives the attention, exercise, companionship, and routine they need to feel happy and settled. Your dog's safety and wellbeing are my top priorities. I live in a quiet, dog-friendly neighbourhood and provide a calm, child-free and cat-free environment. My home is kept clean and secure to minimise hazards, and I have a large crate available if required. I take the time to understand each dog's individual needs, ensuring they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for throughout their stay.
“Euri was lovely and caring with our Dash. She had all the patience in the world for him, and dedicated her time to him. We got photos and regular updates. I definitely recommend Euri, and I look forward to seeing her again.”

“Murphy came back from his visits with Stephanie really chirpy. The photos shared by Stephanie show that he was made to feel at home and well looked after. He came back after each visit tired so obviously had lots of walks and exercise and he was always happy to go back. Will definitely use Stephanie again!”
“Moose had the best time with Zhi and Dream. He was well looked after and we had no worries. We would definitely recommend him and hope to stay here again in the future. Thanks!”
“So very happy to have found Shaimaa to take care of Baloo during our trip to Aberdeen! She accepted an incredibly short notice request when another arrangement fell through, and was such a fabulous sitter for him. Shaimaa sent reassuring video clips, photos and messages, so we knew that Baloo was in great hands and having a super time. Baloo responded incredibly positively to her calm, caring and positive approach. He had lots of fun, great walks and plenty cuddles. We highly recommend Shaimaa if you're based in, or travelling to, Aberdeen. What an excellent experience she provided, which meant that we could relax and make the most of the events that brought us to Aberdeen, without worrying about the wellbeing of our lovely dog. Thank you so much!”
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.
“Lots of status updates, photos and videos of my dog playing with lily in gardens. They got on great! Ewa has lots of toys also for my dog to play with and wee mini games like treat trays, sniffs etc. 10/10 would recommend! :)”
“This was Ruby's first time away from us at Doggy Day Care. Margaret, Zoe, Skye & family are very friendly caring animal lovers who we trust implicitly with our precious girl. She had a fabulous day full of fun, love, walks and happiness with Skye. We were regularly updated with joyful photos that were much appreciated and reassuring. A truly great experience for Ruby and us. We highly recommend Margaret,Zoe and Skye for you dogs daycare and will be booking them again. Thank you so much.”

About: Hello, my name is Camilo and I'll be taking care of your pup :) I currently have a well trained beagle who has been part of my life for the past three years. He is obedient, cheerful and enjoys his daily walks with me, come rain or shine. I have also grown up with a family poodle for seven years, so I'm very familiar with different breeds and their individual personalities. I understand that every dog has unique needs and routines. I always ensure feeding times, walks and play are consistent and suited to each dog’s temperament and energy levels. I believe in positive reinforcement, plenty of attention and creating a calm, safe environment where your dog can feel happy and secure while you are away. You can expect regular updates and photos, so you know exactly how your dog is doing during their time here. I am reliable, attentive and genuinely love spending time with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. If you are looking for someone trustworthy, responsible and committed to your dog’s wellbeing, I would be delighted to help. Please feel free to get in touch with any questions. Looking for forward to meeting you and your dog 🐕🐕🐕 I'm a WFH PhD student, and I'm currently able of taking care of your dog 24 hours at home if needed, so there wouldn't be any issues with timing or scheduling. I have a well behaved neutered Beagle who's used to share his toys and his humans. I have a fenced garden as well to ensure the dogs can go out whenever is needed. However, I also live very close to parks, ensuring that your dog will always have contact with green areas to socialise with other dogs
“Virgil had a great time with Sarah, Glen and family. They were really great at following our guidance for Virgil given that he's young and still needs things like planned naps. The photos they sent through were so lovely, we knew what he was up and that he was happy. He seemed really happy and chilled there!”

Yuliia was absolutely brilliant with Lily. Caring and clearly made Lily feel very comfortable and settled. Communication was great and Lily came home happy and tired after a lovely day. I’d definitely recommend Yuliia and wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Thank you so much for taking such good care of Lily! 🐶❤️
Evelyn, was brilliant with Skye. I was quite nervous about leaving her with someone new as she can be anxious and is very much my baby, but I was made to feel completely at ease. Skye settled really well and came home happy and relaxed, which meant so much to me. I also really appreciated the updates and knowing she was being well looked after throughout her stay. I wouldn’t hesitate to book again and would definitely recommend. 🐾💗

This was Reggie’s first time at any sort of day care, and Euridices was amazing with him! He had a great time and was well cared for - Euridices and her family are so accommodating, and she obviously has a love for all animals. Would highly recommend and book again!

FAQs for Doggy Day Care - Aberdeen
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Doggy Day Care in Aberdeen on Rover is £25.3 per day (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Doggy Day Care easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Doggy Day Care. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 118 sitters on Rover for Doggy Day Care in Aberdeen. About 85% of Aberdeen sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you are planning ahead for public holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day cover for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
Sitters on Rover can offer flexible scheduling, so you can coordinate times that work best for you and your pet—whether that’s early drop-off or later collection to match your Aberdeen commute.
If your schedule changes, it’s best to let your sitter know through the app as early as possible. Many sitters can adjust collection and drop-off times when needed.
Your dog’s first day care experience is a big milestone! To help your pup settle in comfortably, we recommend:
- Food and treats portioned for the day, with feeding instructions
- Your dog's lead and collar (ensure tags are up-to-date)
- Any seasonal gear, such as paw-safe wax for winter or a cooling vest for the summer
- Medication, if applicable, with clear dosage notes
- Any special care instructions or training tips to help your sitter provide the most personalised care possible
Tip: Upload this information directly through the Rover app before drop-off. The more context you provide, the better your sitter can tailor the day to your dog.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog's vaccines is the best way to be 'boarding ready'. Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Sitters in Scotland may request that your dog be up-to-date on core vaccines, such as Canine Distemper, Canine Parvovirus, Canine Adenovirus (also known as DHP or DHPPi), Leptospirosis and Kennel Cough. Cats may be required to have Feline Panleucopenia Virus, Feline Herpesvirus, Feline Calicivirus, and Feline Leukaemia Virus up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poo breaks occured. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available for dedicated customer support by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalised, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Every sitter on Rover must pass an identity verification before they can list their services. An identity verification confirms that the sitter is who they say they are based on their documents.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to £25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit our Trust & Safety page .
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English, French, German, and Spanish from Mon-Sat 9am to 6pm. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a qualified vet or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s booking protection means Rover Support will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
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 .
