“Sarah was everything we could ask for and more! We love our dog and Sarah matched the love and care for him. Her attention to detail and communication really put us at ease! We are so thankful and will definitely have Sarah again!”


“Caitlin is amazing!! So professional, provided loads of updates and photos, having 2 big dogs can sometimes be intimidating but from the first meet our dogs loved Caitlin! We will definitely be using Caitlin again, she went above and beyond.”

“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.”


About: I’ve always had cats as pets in my life and as of the past 5 years I’ve been helping my cousins and some friends with their dogs by looking after them whenever they go on holidays or random walks with them during the day whenever they were unavailable to do so. I love all animals and have no problems with any of them. I love them all 😁 Im currently in University, so at least 1 day in advance of a notice would be nice. However, I could walk your dog one evening or during the day if it’s an emergency and I’m free at the time. On Wednesdays and weekends I should be completely free. If anything, do let me know. Back at home, my cat at the moment is an indoor cat. I always remember his feeding time and play with him in the evening to keep him active. During this summer, I looked after my cousins dog going on morning and evening walks, whenever we got back I always cleaned him where it’s needed and left his food before I went back to my place. Whilst we were outside we would play fetching games, or even him chasing me and it was honestly really fun.
“Courtney was very professional, friendly and kept me well informed throughout her stay! The animals loved her and Juni was kept well fed and well loved! She also left the house tidy! We really appreciate everything Courtney did for us!”

About: I have looked after and walked dogs for many different people including friends, family and neighbours. This includes walking, feeding, toilet breaks, and play time. I have also done petsitting for a few different cats. Most of my friends have a pet, I have my own dog, and had cats growing up, so I have experience with both, and with different ages and sizes. I have met pets with very different personalities, so I am good at adapting to them. I am happy to be flexible with requests, so if my calendar shows as unavailable for a date you require, you are still welcome to reach out as I may be able to make it work. I work full time so I am available most evenings and weekends - great for covering date nights or days out. Weekdays can be arranged on demand, around my working hours. I am happy to arrange a meet and greet before our first booking so I can meet you and your pet to ensure a good fit. When we meet, we can discuss any "house rules" and any requirements your pet may have. Ideally I would follow your regular routine to keep your pet happy.

“Cadence was absolutely wonderful, everything you could have asked for from a sitter. My boys took to her immediately (and they're very fussy), she followed every instruction to the word and provided regular photos and updates. I would not hesitate to recommend her and will be hiring her again in the future.”

“Wendy did a week of house sitting for us looking after our dog & cat. She is calm and confident in the care of animals and their needs . She is responsive to all communication and we would hesitate to request her again 😊”

About: Hi, I’m Marissa! I’m a Canadian who recently moved to Aberdeen, and I’m missing my dog, Elsa, more than I’d like to admit! I’ve always loved animals and regularly pet sat back home in Canada, so I want to continue doing what I love here in Aberdeen. Whether your pet needs a long walk, some playtime, a little company while you’re away, or simply lots of cuddles, I’ll be happy to give them all the love and attention they deserve. ⭐️ Many previous pet-sitting experiences ⭐️ Lots of love, cuddles & attention to give ⭐️ Happy to follow your pet’s routine and preferences ⭐️ Regular updates & lots of photos so you never feel too far away ⭐️ Excited to meet your furry friend! I’m free weekday evenings from 4pm onwards and weekends! I’m currently working full-time, Monday to Friday and I’d love to fit your needs into my schedule. I don’t currently offer boarding services at my home, however I would be more than happy to care for your pet in your home! I’m organized, tidy, and respectful of other peoples spaces.

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

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 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: 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 had my own dog in my life for years, love every minute and when my family and friends go away on holiday I’m the one they call to fill that gap so your dog gets lots of love and attention whilst you’re away. I’m currently not working so I have plenty of time to walk and play with your dog, I’m available for boarding 7 days a week. I will walk your dog in safe environments and follow any instructions you wish. I would like to meet your dog before so I can build a connection and so your dog gets to know me a little.

About: Originally from Moldova, I have been living in the UK since 2005. I'm an office worker who can work remotely and attend to your pets. I have been petsitting regularly through a different platform for 2 years now (THS, please check my IG for the links to my profile there with the 5* reviews), both in the UK and in the EU.
About: Glen & Sarah have had pets, dogs and cats, all of their lives. Jethro & Judi (mini schnauzers) love having other dogs to stay over & regularly get neighbours dog over to stay. Sarah is a stay at home mum who walks the dogs during the day. Dogs get regular access to the fenced back garden to play. Fenced back garden. Drinking water always available. Plenty of company for dogs who come to stay, be it playing with Jethro & Judi or sitting up on the sofa with the humans.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Aberdeen is £30
Pet owners share their Rover experiences - Aberdeen
Madeline was incredibly easy to work with from start to finish. She's great at communicating, was genuinely interested in Sprout and his needs, very professional and is obviously a natural animal lover. Madeline was on time and looked after Sprout very well, he was relaxed and happy when we got home. Sprout can be wary of new people but he warmed up to Madeline very quickly and we will absolutely book with her again - thank you for looking after Sprout so well!

Cadence was absolutely wonderful, everything you could have asked for from a sitter. My boys took to her immediately (and they're very fussy), she followed every instruction to the word and provided regular photos and updates. I would not hesitate to recommend her and will be hiring her again in the future.

This was our first time using a dog sitter in our own home and Courtney put my nerves to rest straight away. She worked around what we needed and we had brilliant communication. Unfortunately we were weather delayed on our return to the UK, Courtney was very flexible and ended up staying an extra night. She really did make a stressful time, less stressful.

Kasie was amazing watching our dog, Acorn! Acorn can be cautious of new people, but she clearly loved her time with Kasie and was very well cared for. Kasie even provided regular updates and pictures while we were gone for which we were really grateful. She really went above and beyond what we expected! We would definitely have Kasie back to watch her again.

Anna was a brilliant companion for my labradoodle who doesn’t like being left behind if I have something on that isn’t dog friendly. Great communication and information and kept me up to date during the visit. Would definitely recommend and hope she can dog sit in the future. 😊

We appreciated that Constance was able to sit for us at short notice, she bonded with our animals very well which was reassuring. Constance sent us updates throughout the sit and kept us up to date with everything. When we arrived home everyone was relaxed and happy. The house was clean and tidy. We would be happy to use Constance again.
This was the first time we left Sprout for a couple of days and as you might imagine that is quite scary. However, Evelyn did an amazing job looking after Sprout and keeping us in the loop with small little updates (and pictures)! We could tell that Sprout was happy and relaxed! Little side note because Evelyn was staying at ours for a couple of nights: She left the place as she found it! So not only did she look after Sprout but also our home. Couldn’t ask for a better service! Thanks so much Evelyn!!

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.

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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of House Sitting in Aberdeen is £39 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between £29 and £49 per night.

Enter your address and booking dates to see which sitters are available near you. You can also message multiple sitters to improve your chances of finding the right care.
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.
House sitting is priced per night and generally includes an overnight stay. In the city of Aberdeen, the price of house sitting can vary between £29 and £49 per night.
Just make sure you and your sitter agree on the actual hours they'll stay in your home before you accept the booking. Each sitter has their own routine, and some might suit your schedule better than others. Keep your messages on the Rover app for future reference.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a 'home base' service. Most sitters in Aberdeen maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for 'WFH' sitters: Many sitters mention 'Work from Home' on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical 'away' windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a key safe. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalised codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in a flat, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or lift etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter must complete an identity verification process before listing their services on Rover. This process checks that the sitter’s identity matches their provided documents.
Identity verification doesn't assess a sitter’s experience or suitability for your pet. To see if a sitter is the right fit, you can review each sitter's profile for ratings, verified reviews, repeat pet owner information and care style. We also recommend arranging a Meet & Greet to discuss your pet’s needs and make sure the sitter is the right fit before booking.

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.
