“Leony did a great job looking after my rescue dog over the weekend. She gave me reglar, detailed updates as to how she was doing. I felt confident in leaving my dog with her would definitely recommend.”


“Madeline was amazing caring for my chihuahua Nala. She treated her like a princess and always updated me with pictures and took her on picnics and gave her so much attention and love . Would highly recommend her five star service.”

“Kasie looked after little Arlo today. Since I’ve got back he has slept for a few hours thanks to her taking the time to play with him all day. Any instructions were followed, albeit there was only a few, and the house was as clean as when I left. She also arrived earlier than asked, which is ideal when time is of the essence. You want someone who clearly loves animals, and Kasie is clearly that kind of person. 10/10 recommend to anyone.”


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.
“It was good that Kiarra had an overnight stay with Benji just a few weeks before so they knew each other ahead of Kiarra being here for the week. Kiarra was diligent in sending us a video each day showing what they had been up to. It was obvious they were going long walks each day going to different places including travelling to locations in the car which is great. It was clear Benji enjoyed his walks with Kiarra. Kiarra kept us advised on Benji’s eating habits as he can be a bit fussy. After a day or too he settled into a good pattern. Kiarra kept the house very tidy and even stripped the beds before she left which was helpful. In summary we were extremely happy with Kiarra’s week with Benji and it was clear Benji enjoyed it too. She has a great personality and obviously enjoys spending time with dogs and the job she does. It was very kind of her to stay a few extra hours on the last day as our flight was delayed. We would definitely use Kiarra again and would have no hesitation to recommend her to friends and family, thanks again Kiarra.”

“Evelyn looked after our pets and house sat while we were on holiday. Both our dog - who is quite fussy! - and our cat seemed very happy when we got home. Evelyn gave us regular updates during our trip away and the house was super tidy when we returned.”

“We really enjoyed meeting Caitlin, she looked after our blind old pooch Robbie beautifully and also helped facilitate some furniture getting delivered. She's very friendly and personable, all of her communications were prompt and very helpful, and I just couldn't recommend her more. Will definitely be calling on Caitlin's help again.”

“This was the first time abroad from our pets; two Romanian rescues and an elderly cat - we were a little anxious as you'd expect, but we'd built up a little trust between ourselves, our animals and Vilte before we went, including a few hours simply house-sitting a week before our holiday. One of our rescues can take a while to build trust, but was relaxed with Vilte as we saw on the many photos and updates she sent while we were away. We're already planning another house-sit with her, and dog-walking meanwhile.”

About: i’ve been cat sitting for other families since I was 16 and I have had many cats in my own family all throughout my life. I have always been the crazy cat lady in my family and I absolutely adore my little cuddly kitties. I have always been asked by neighbours and family friends to look after their cats while they have been on vacation and I love doing it! I am very experienced with all types of cats whether they are social or a little more reserved. I have also done a three week internship in a cattery when I was 16 so am confident when giving medicine and cleaning cats. I am able to see cats every day in my weekly routine. If you require me to spend more than one 1-hour visit a day with you cat then just reach out and I will see what my schedule is like! I am always very careful to open doors when first entering your home, just in case your little one is waiting to come out. I will always go slowly and gently with your cat at first and let them know that they are in charge of how the pet care is going to be. I always want your cats to trust me, however I understand that some cats are too timid and do not want to speak and that is perfectly fine.
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: Hi! I recently moved from New Zealand and one of the things I miss most is being around my pets back home, so I’m using Rover as a way to fill that void while giving your pets the same love, care, and attention I’d give my own. I’m reliable, patient, and experienced caring for dogs with different personalities and routines. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or just relaxing company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind! Since I work part time, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate time to pet care throughout the week. I can fit walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins into my daily routine, and I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. When caring for pets in an owner’s home I always aim to follow their routine and instructions closely. I can adapt to each pet’s needs, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and any specific care requests. I also make sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while their owner is away.

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 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 currently study at Aberdeen university and I would like to devote my spare time to animals and pet owners that need a little help, I love animals, and helping around in general, and it would be great to interact with pets as currently I can't have my own. I only have 8 h lectures per week, so I available most of the times till December probably, when I leave for work to England. I live in HMO with a garden, so I may be able to house a pet, but with my landlady's agreement. Otherwise I work as a live-in carer too, for 10 years already and living and respecting someone's property is a norm form me, if you need a proof of that, please ask personally. I am self-employed carer.
About: I have just graduated with a Masters and will be at home in Aberdeen for the time being in a house with another dog. I have grown up with rescue dogs my whole life so am used to taking my time and getting to know them (Greyhound, Dalmatian and lurcher). I have also taken care of dogs of every kind throughout my life helping my family and friends. They would stay over so I would walk and feed them. I have just finished my masters and moving back to Aberdeen. I will be applying for jobs throughout the summer so will be available to give your dog the attention and care they need. I would stick to whatever rules you give me to keep your dog healthy, safe and happy. I would build a relationship with your dog as you can see from my reviews I go above and beyond for clients dogs.
Aberdeen pet owners share their Rover experiences
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! ❤️

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 !!

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! :)

This was the first time abroad from our pets; two Romanian rescues and an elderly cat - we were a little anxious as you'd expect, but we'd built up a little trust between ourselves, our animals and Vilte before we went, including a few hours simply house-sitting a week before our holiday. One of our rescues can take a while to build trust, but was relaxed with Vilte as we saw on the many photos and updates she sent while we were away. We're already planning another house-sit with her, and dog-walking meanwhile.

Despite Sprout feeling unwell and being anxious, Leony did a great job at looking after Sprout. She kept sending us updates of our wee man the whole time, which allowed us to relax! Sprout is quite a loud and nervous dog, which didn't phase her. Definitely will be booking with Leony again!

Kiarra is like a pet sitting angel sent to us, Malachi and Lexi had such wonderful time, we had so many updates whilst we Were away and before we left Kairra came to familiarise herself with the house and meet us all which was super reassuring. When we came home the house felt tidier than it was when we left it. Will definitely be using again and would absolutely recommend! Thank you so much x
Craige was perfect while watching my boys while I was away. He's friendly and personable, followed every instruction and the boys liked him immediately. Communication and updates were regular and positive. I'd recommend Craige 100% to anyone in need of a sitter. Will definitely book again.

We couldn’t recommend Emma more! She came and house sat for us from first thing in the morning into early hours of the following morning when we attended our friends wedding. She took such amazing care of our senior Romanian rescue who had only been with us for a few days prior. We had lots of lovely updates which completely put our minds at ease. We were in no way rushed to come back, allowing us to enjoy our day knowing Millie was in the best hands 😃. Emma has so much experience with dogs and from the get go you can just tell she’s a doggie person. We would not hesitate to use her again and to recommend her to friends too.
