“Valentina proved to be a great dog sitter. We left our two dogs to her overnight to dogsit at our place and the dogs had so much fun and befriended her very quickly! Valentina followed all our instructions as to what worked best for our dogs and kept in touch very regularly with us sending pics and videos of the dogs and what they were up to. Valentina is also reliable, and very kind (she went over and beyond leaving us some sweets and a cute note with a bible verse).”


“Sarah made us feel very comfortable instantly leaving our dogs for a day with her. One can be quite barky with people coming into her home but she did one bark and instantly loved Sarah so we knew we were on for a win! Got lovely updates throughout day and dogs were very settled when we got home. Thanks again!!”


About: I have been working as a registered veterinary nurse for the last 6 years and have 3 animal care courses prior! I am familiar with a variety of animals, breeds, conditions and medications. I am in close contact with vets so your animal is I’m safe hands. I have my own fluffy cat Frankie and love animals. I am a positive and friendly person who is also responsible. I currently work 4 days a week at a vets, each shift varies from 8 to 10 hours but I have a lengthy lunch break to allow toilet breaks etc. Weekends are free! My care for your animals is to try stick to their usual schedule as much as possible to reduce their stress and wellbeing. I am flexible and used to a variation of animals and conditions.

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 currently work Monday-Friday but go offshore on an ad hoc basis. This means I am available on weekends are some weekdays when I am back from offshore and have rest days. I can walk on my lunch break if not far from work in Altens, and I can also walk before or after work (I start at 8am and finish at 4pm). My partner, Adam, who is as much of a dog lover as me, works from home on a Friday. 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: Over the past 3 years I have taken care of dogs for my family, friends and neighbours for a variation of needs. A short visit to keep an anxious dog company, a quick walk when they are at work or if they have been able to sneek away for a weekend alone. I have catered for all ages all the way from Puppy to your oldies! I also always try and make a genuine connection with all pets, because they really need to feel comfortable with me, and me with them! Some take time to come around and that's ok! I'm a patient one! I am currently a student and part time worker. So evenings and early mornings are perfect! However throughout the day can also be arranged just depends if it cant fit around shifts, lectures, etc. Personally I have a fully secured front and back garden, with high walls and bushes for the jumpy ones! But also no stairs or sudden terrain changes for those with dodgy joints. I also always have water bowls, treats and cuddles available!

“Thank you Vilte for taking care of Dougal! Even when unexpected circumstances arose, you communicated efficiently and took great care of him. The house was spotless when we got back. We will be booking with you again!”


About: I grew up with a childhood dog and had 2 more in my adult life. I love the personalities and companionship that they offer. My work circumstances mean I can’t have my own pet so I’m here to meet as many as possible :) I also drive so if your dog has a particular place they like to walk I can transport them :) I work a standard 8-4 job so I am available evenings on weekdays. Weekends are normally completely free apart from the odd Saturday here and there. I will cater to all the needs that your little companion needs as well as make sure they’re entertained and tired out for you coming back.

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! 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 have taken care of pets for long time to help my family and friends. I used to have hamsters, birds, cats, rabit. The life gave me an opportunity to use my skill more than before and doing this more time. I am currently work a part time so I have more time to deal with pets. ☺️ We can discuss the time in advance. Thank you. I can go and walk your dog,play with them. Feed your cat or other pets. If you need I can sleep there for few night. I understand some pet doesn't like changes. I have a flat so it is not suitable for dog but cats and other pets more than welcome in my flat. 👍

“This is the second year we have used Steph, and we saw how much our two dogs loved spending time with her. Our dogs were looked after really well, we got updates and photos showing them happy. Steph is a lovely person, and would definitely recommend and use her again.”


About: I've owned two Border Collies, so I'm pretty good at dealing with puppies.This is my dream job. I can play with my dog and make money at the same time. I am a postgraduate student at the University of Aberdeen. I can go shopping with my dog anytime I don’t have classes or holidays. I love puppies so much, tall, short, fat, thin, pretty, ugly, I like them all. What I like is the sincerity of dogs and their love for humans💕 I can accompany the dog at the owner's home, or take the dog out for a walk.Walk around the campus, walk around the grass, and don't worry, I will clean up the dog's feces.

“Our Max is not the easiest dog to deal with and takes some extra care, patience and attention to be able to deal with him. In a short time Genevieve had managed to build up a rapport with Max and has kept us worried parents up to date throughout!”


About: I had dogs growing up, variation in sizes. In the last 7 years I have dog sat for family and friends, including day and overnight stays. I recently dog sat a friends puppy for a week so was closely involved in puppy training. I work full time hours in elderly care. I would say I am a very kind and caring person. My shifts are varied and change weekly however I still remain flexible and willing to fit dog care into my schedule. I live in a flat, however there is a gated shared garden. Dog sitting at the pet owner’s home is preferable if possible. I would ensure high and clean standards are upheld in the pet owner’s home and remain respectful and considerate in their home.

“Kayla dog sat for us for 2 nights. She was fantastic at providing us with regular pupdates so that we were able to relax in the knowledge that our doggo was being well cared for. It makes such a difference when someone can look after your pet in your home as if it were their own!”


“This is second time we have used Susan to house sit in our house in west end of Aberdeen and look after our dog Sandy, and once again the service was absolutely brilliant. We were away for 2 weeks and we multiple daily updates from Susan with photos and messages, and it was easy to see that Susan spent so much time taking Sandy for nice walks and playing with her and chilling with her. Susan also left the house immaculate. At the start of the holiday we felt a bit guilty leaving our precious dog behind, but very quickly we realised she was having an absolute ball of a time with Susan, and then we totally relaxed. Susan is so kind and sweet and trustworthy - it is great to know we can leave our dog and house in such good hands. We would 100% recommend Susan to anyone, and we would not hesitate using Susan again in future.”


“Lorrynne was the sweetest girl, she took very good care of oreo. I can see by how oreo has been acting after being in her care, that she was given lots of care, love and attention. Fast at communication and went the extra mile to wait for me coming home. Definitely recommend! I will be using her again .”


“Kaya was excellent from start to finish with our two dogs Rye and Loki. We were away for 12 nights and she sent regular updates with photos of the dogs out and about in their absolute element. The house was also pristine when we returned after a long flight. We would highly recommend and would have no qualms in reaching out to Kaya to babysit our dogs again the next time we are away.”

Nikki R.
“Nikki is great with animals and truly cares about good pet care. Nikki has looked after my dog - a wild spaniel and is great with her. I have also witnessed Nikki caring for other’s dogs (family/friends) and all dogs have a soft spot for her. I have not seen Nikki care for cats, however I know she has experience with her grandmothers cat and that she cares for all animals well. Nikki ensures all animals receive the best care - from feeding, walking, and training. Whilst looking after a friend’s puppy I saw her training this puppy to walk to heel and stay before crossing the road. I would 100% trust Nikki to look after your pets.”
