About: I've grown up with both cats and dogs and have a lot of experience taking care of them. I have two cats myself and love spending time with any animal! I work part time so have plenty of time to look after peta. I absolutely love walking so would be very happy to take dogs along with me. Very happy to follow the routine in which you look after your pets at home as I know how important this is for animals, especially when they're away from their humans.
About: I have hands-on experience caring for pets, particularly cats, as I have my own and understand their daily needs, including feeding, grooming, cleaning litter trays, playtime, and providing plenty of affection and attention. I am comfortable recognising changes in their behaviour and making sure they feel safe and cared for. I also have experience walking and looking after dogs, ensuring they get the exercise, attention, and care they need. I am patient, reliable, and confident handling pets of different personalities. I understand how important it is to follow owners’ routines and instructions, and I will always treat every pet as if they were my own, making their wellbeing and happiness my top priority. I’m currently off university and work part-time, which means I have a flexible schedule and can often accommodate pet care at short notice. I always know my shifts in advance, allowing me to plan visits and provide reliable, consistent care. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine to ensure they feel comfortable and well looked after. I understand how important it is for cats to feel safe and comfortable in their own home. I’ll follow your cat’s usual routine, including feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter trays, administering medication if instructed, and providing playtime or quiet company depending on their personality. I’ll treat your home with respect, keep it secure, and send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your cat is happy and well cared for
About: Hi! I'm Morgan, a medical student who absolutely loves dogs and understands how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. I have grown up with dogs my whole life, having 4 dogs ranging from border collies to Anatolian shepherds and working in my parents doggy daycare in Glasgow before moving for uni, means I’m prepared to handle all sizes of four legged friends! I'm responsible, patient, and organised, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, or simply relaxing with company, I'll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. As a medical student, I'm used to paying close attention to detail, following routines, and staying calm in different situations. I'll happily stick to your dog's usual schedule, including feeding times, medication (if required), walks, and bedtime routines. I know every dog has their own personality, so I'll take the time to get to know what makes your dog happiest. My goal is for them to feel as relaxed with me as they do at home. I'll also send regular photo and video updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing your dog is happy and well cared for. I can't wait to meet you and your four-legged best friend! I’m currently at university of Aberdeen most days from 9-5 but am willing to dog sit or do let outs Monday-Friday anytime outside these hours as well as dog sitting on weekends. I live in a ground floor flat with a back garden and I live around a 10 minute walk away from 2 different parks. I currently have no pets in the flat and live alone meaning my full attention will be on your pet! I cannot drive but have no issue with longer walks if that’s what your pet requires. I also have no issue with pets being on the furniture if that’s what they are used to in your home
“We couldn’t recommend Holly enough! She looked after our dogs while we were away for the weekend and she was absolutely amazing. She took them on walks, sent regular updates, and shared so many pictures which really put our minds at ease while we were away. It was so reassuring knowing they were being so well looked after and loved. We’ll definitely be using Holly again in the future , thank you so much! ❤️”
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.
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've taken care of dogs of every size and personality since I was 14, my own dogs, my family dogs, neighbours, they relied them to me, and I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable and loved.🐾<3 ▪️Flexible schedule. ▪️most of the time at home. ▪️active person. 🔹They won’t feel alone, and they will always feel safe. I am currently studying at home, so It won’t be a problem with looking after your best friend, you can feel at ease knowing they will be in a loving enviroment, with someone who is always attentive to all their needs🐾🐾🤍 I have a big park behind my house and it is a safety area, there's a near veterinary if something's wrong, I can walk them easily and play with them!
“Tyra stayed and house sat my two furry friends and they had a great time! Meg has daily ear drops and a supplement which we're no bother at all. Both dogs can be nervous with new people but fell in love with her so quickly and I got plenty of updates through the sit. Tyra is really responsive and attentive to the dog's needs also which was such a relief. I came back to a spotless house, 2 happy dogs and 2 sit reports to let me know exactly how each pup had been habit/feed/behaviour wise whilst away which was fantastic. Would recommend to anyone and will definitely book Tyra again in future! :)”
“Angelica is an absolute angel well named, she stayed in our house when we went on holiday to look after our dog Lincoln who can take a minute to get to know new people, he loved her on first site, she respected the property & gave us daily updates & pictures, I would highly recommend Angelica to look after any pet & your home. I will certainly have her look after & walk Lincoln again 5 stars all round. Thank you Angelica ♥️”
About: I’m a passionate animal lover with three dogs and two birds of my own. I’ve also helped care for puppies and kittens, giving me experience with animals at different stages of life. While I haven’t worked as a professional pet sitter before, I have experience helping family members care for their pets and understand the responsibility involved in looking after animals. During college, I studied Animal Care and veterinary terminology, which helped me develop knowledge of animal welfare, behaviour, handling, and basic animal health. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy to care for your pets. I’ll make sure your pets receive plenty of attention, care, and companionship while you’re away, treating them as if they were my own. I currently have a flexible schedule and am available throughout the week and on weekends. I enjoy spending time with animals and have experience caring for my own pets as well as pets belonging to family members. I am happy to provide walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship while following your pet's regular routine. While I am new to professional pet sitting, I have regularly cared for my own pets and helped look after family members' pets. I understand the importance of following feeding schedules, exercise routines, and any special instructions. I am reliable, patient, and committed to making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for in their own home while you are away

Cannot recommend Leony enough she is brilliant - if I could give her 10 stars 🌟 I would. Such a lovely person and our cat was so well cared for and good updates during our stay away and came back to a very happy cat and lovely clean home. Booked again already for another getaway knowing our cat and home are in good hands. Thanks Leony you are amazing 🥰
We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! Darien took such amazing care of our dog, giving her plenty of cuddles, taking her on walks, and making sure she was well fed and happy. It was clear she genuinely cared for her, and knowing she was in such kind and loving hands gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We came home to a very happy, relaxed dog. Thank you so much for everything, we’d happily book with you again and highly recommend you!
Madeline looked after Oz so well for us while we were away. When we came back he was happy and calm and had obviously enjoyed having her stay. She’s very contentious and I was confident she would deal with any issues that came up while we were away, Oz has had problems with his legs so this level of care was very important to us. Thank you very much 😊
Grace was absolutely tremendous while watching my boys. Apollo took to her straight away and was very happy all day. She was extremely attentive, followed every instruction and provided regular updates throughout the day. Could not have asked for a better sitter and I would highly recommend her to anyone.
Angelica is an absolute angel well named, she stayed in our house when we went on holiday to look after our dog Lincoln who can take a minute to get to know new people, he loved her on first site, she respected the property & gave us daily updates & pictures, I would highly recommend Angelica to look after any pet & your home. I will certainly have her look after & walk Lincoln again 5 stars all round. Thank you Angelica ♥️
Kasie house sat for our 9 month working retriever who went into season just before the booked dates. Kasie was not phased at all and took everything in her stride. Kasie is a great communicator, she is confident, calm, caring and extremely competent. We would not hesitate to have Kasie look after Harley again.
Evelyn was an absolute delight from start to finish. She was very organised from the get go and was communicative throughout. We initially did a meet and greet with Evelyn as Sprout can be a little additional with his requirements, but she was not phased and focused on how she could best support him whilst he was under her care. When we returned home Sprout was relaxed and happy - we will definitely be using Evelyn again in the near future.
This is the first time we had used this service for our labrador Lola and we were a little bit nervous as to how she would respond. However, Kiarra seemed to have the magic touch putting her at ease almost immediately. Kiarra's communication was excellent, sending us photos of Lola doing all her favourite things. This allowed us to relax and enjoy our holiday. Lola seemd very settled when we got back - already missing Kiarra i think. We would have no hesitation in using Kiarra again and are already looking at dates.
Mia was amazing, gave great daily updates, spent a lot of time with my cats, and ensured they were greatly looked after. She absolutely cares a lot for animals, which shows in her work. I will absolutely rebook with her in the future, and cannot recommend her enough.
Gen was great! She came out to meet the dogs before the sitting and this was very useful. The dogs were happy to see her and settled well. I was kept updated with photos and messages on a regular basis. The house was also well cared for and all plants still alive !! Perfect service … thank you again Gen !!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Aberdeen on Rover is £39.1 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Post & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Rubbish & recycling: Taking bins out on scheduled rubbish collection days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best time to agree on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a 'home cheat sheet' that includes your preferred Aberdeen walking routes, the location of your favourite pet shop, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
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.
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 .
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Aberdeen choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a key safe or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest vet. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorisation form for your regular vet. An authorisation form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
