About: Hi! I’m Kirsty, welcome to my adventures for dogs, offering reliable, safe and enriching care for dogs across Aberdeenshire. I provide small-group or solo countryside adventure walks where dogs enjoy exercise, socialisation and basic training in safe, scenic environments. Every outing is structured, supervised, and tailored to each dog’s needs, with photo updates sent to owners for peace of mind. I also offer: • Drop-in visits & home checks (feeding, toilet breaks, companionship) • Home boarding in your dog’s own home to keep them comfortable in their routine I am fully insured, canine first-aid trained, DBS checked and experienced with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. Safety, trust, and genuine care are at the heart of everything I do. Whether your dog needs adventure, daytime care, or overnight support, I treat every dog like my own. Feel free to message me to arrange a free meet & greet. Your dog’s day will be structured, safe, and full of enrichment. For adventure walks, dogs are collected in the morning between 8:00–8:30am. We then travel to carefully selected countryside locations where they enjoy a mix of walking, exploring, supervised play, and basic training exercises. Full adventure sessions last around 5 hours in total, including travel time, with return and drop-off typically between 12:30–1:00pm. Mini adventures take place in the afternoon, with shorter 1-hour outings designed for younger dogs, older dogs, or those who prefer a gentler pace. Dogs receive the full 60 minute walking time. Allow 30 mins each side for collection and travel to location. Throughout the day, dogs are closely supervised at all times, given water, rest breaks, and plenty of positive interaction. You’ll also receive photo updates so you can see what your dog is getting up to. For drop-in visits, I attend your home at agreed times to feed, provide toilet breaks, offer companionship, and check on your dog’s wellbeing. For home boarding (in your home), I maintain your dog’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, and comfort breaks, ensuring they feel secure in their familiar environment. My aim is always a calm, structured, and enjoyable experience that leaves dogs happy, stimulated, and settled when they return home. Your dog’s safety and wellbeing are my top priority at all times. I am fully insured and canine first aid trained, with experience handling dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. All adventure walks are carefully planned using safe, low-traffic countryside routes, with constant supervision and secure transport at all times. Dogs are always managed in small groups to ensure control, comfort, and positive socialisation. I take time to understand each dog’s personality, recall level, and needs so they are placed in suitable groups and environments. I use positive, calm handling methods and never place dogs in unsafe or overwhelming situations. Water, rest breaks, and comfort are provided throughout every outing. For drop-ins and home care, I respect your home fully and follow your instructions closely to maintain your dog’s normal routine and environment. I am also an insured and trusted key handler for peace of mind. Trust is essential — I provide regular updates and photos so you always know your dog is safe, happy, and well cared for.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Aberdeenshire on Rover is £16.1 per Visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

There are 108 sitters on Rover for Cat Sitting in Aberdeenshire. About 96% of Aberdeenshire 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.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter trays. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialisation or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
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 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 .
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 cat, 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.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
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.
