“Our dog, Storm was treated really well, getting lots of treats and toys, taken out for walks and given plenty attention. He was well taken care of, and we got plenty photos and videos, which kept us updated and we enjoyed seeing them. When our Storm was slightly sick, Ellie was really worried and contacted us immediately, and once we got photos of it, we could quickly reassure her that it was nothing to be worried about. And we were really grateful for Ellie’s care and attention for Storm. We would happily book her again.”
“Cindy was fantastic! Mud settled in really quickly, and she made him feel right at home from the moment he arrived. She kept us regularly updated with photos and messages, which was really reassuring. I had no worries at all leaving him with her and would happily recommend Cindy!”
“Roz provided exceptional care for our golden retriever. Her home was warm and inviting, and our pup was in great company with her two adorable dachshunds. We appreciated the regular updates throughout the stay, it gave us real peace of mind. Highly recommend Roz!”
“Kayleigh and her lovely family were absolutely amazing with our little guy, Cosmo! From the moment we dropped him off, we knew he was in safe and loving hands. We received regular updates and the most adorable photos all weekend. It was clear Cosmo was being completely spoiled and loved just like one of their own. Kayleigh’s care, kindness and attention to detail were incredible, we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Thank you so much for looking after him so beautifully!”
“This is our second time leaving Ellie with Jemma, and as always Ellie has the most wonderful time with her. Ellie stayed over for 4 nights and I always had updates and photos from Jemma on what Ellie was up to which I appreciate so much. And Ellie always gets to go on little adventures when she is with Jemma which Ellie absolutely loves. We have already booked in Ellie with Jemma for an upcoming holiday too. So it goes unsaid that Jemma is highly recommended by us :)”
“Emma and Rivers were amazing with Broxi. They helped us out last minute and I felt good knowing he was going to be looked after well. They were really appreciative of the fact that he can’t really be left alone and were able to facilitate that with their schedules. He had a lovely time and we got updates as needed. Thank you both again.”
“Aisling was fantastic.Great communication throughout and very helpful through the entire booking process.My Hugo loved his stay and had lots of fun,will book again most definately.”
“Daisy and her boyfriend took great care of our dog. She really went above and beyond for him and us. She worked hard to make him feel comfortable as he is a very anxious dog. She was also really accommodating for all his complex needs. He seemed really happy and well looked after when we got him home. Id highly recommend her as a dog sitter.”
“Rebecca and her family were absolutely lovely with my 18 week old Trixie. Honestly she had the best time at their home. I got sent lots of photos and updates. They took her on a lovely walk in the woods which is nearby them and she also had plenty of cuddles from her lovely daughters. I honestly wouldn’t hesitate to put my Trixie to Rebecca again. It was the first time I had left her overnight but the family put me at ease straight away. I’m sure Trixie can’t wait for more sleep overs.”
“I cannot recommend Celeste highly enough. From the moment we first met, she was warm, friendly and an absolute pleasure to deal with. It was clear straight away how much she genuinely loves and cares for the dogs she looks after. Daisy had a wonderful stay and was treated like one of the family, with plenty of walks, attention and affection. It was so reassuring to receive regular updates, along with photos and videos, which showed just how happy and settled Daisy was. Knowing that Daisy was in such caring and capable hands gave me complete peace of mind. I would not hesitate to leave Daisy with Celeste again and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, trustworthy and dedicated dog sitter.”
“Pip loves her time with Rachael and looks forward to playing in the garden with her dog too! Always a wagtail when we arrive on her doorstep. Excellent carer for Pip and loves the cuddles too and regular updates we receive”
About: For almost 11 years my wife and I had our energetic Frenchie, Wilsie; she filled my heart to the brim with love! In Oct 2022 my wife, Kayleigh, and I welcomed our son, and he and Wilsie were besties. Unfortunately we lost Wilsie in June 2025 after a short illness, and despite having a toddler running around the house now feels remarkably quiet without the pitter-patter of tiny paws. Between working from home on differing days of the week and having our little one in nursery, I have plenty of time for doggy cuddles and attention. While my journey on Rover used to be about dog sitting to give Wilsie some four-legged company, it is now to help fill a void in my heart! My wife and I offer flexibility with our work schedules to get out the house for breaks and walks as often as the dogs want. We have an open plan downstairs, double doors leading into a good sized fenced garden and we are happy to sofa share for the furry cuddles!
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life, always having two at home and regularly helping care for other families’ dogs. I’m comfortable with all types—from energetic puppies to older dogs who need a bit more patience. I have experience with walking, feeding, and basic training reinforcement, and I always aim to keep dogs calm, safe, and well looked after. I’m active and enjoy being outdoors, so I’m happy to match your dog’s energy level. I treat every dog like my own and will always follow your routines and care instructions closely. As a PhD student, I have a flexible schedule and spend a lot of time working from home, which allows me to be available throughout the day for walks, check-ins, and care. I’m already out walking multiple times a day, so I’m happy to include your dog in those walks and tailor activity to their needs. I can be flexible with timing and routines, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I always aim to provide a calm, safe, and consistent environment for every dog. I take time to understand each dog’s routine, preferences, and any specific instructions, and I stick to those closely. On walks, I stay attentive and avoid unnecessary risks, keeping dogs on lead unless otherwise agreed. At home, I make sure they’re comfortable, supervised, and settled, with plenty of attention and care. I’m respectful of owners’ homes, keep things clean and secure, and provide updates so you know your dog is in good hands.

“Bob had a great time with Portia! She looked after him so well. Lots of walks and even let him pick his own dinner!! World highly recommend her for any of your dog sitting needs. I’m sure Bob will be back (if she’ll have him!!). Caroline”
“Glen and his family were fab! Daisy had the honor of being their first official Rover guest which she was happy about. We were struggling to find someone to look after Daisy and Glen was happy to help at short notice. He made us feel very comfortable about leaving Daisy with his family. We got daily pupdates and plenty of photos. Daisy went on lots of adventures with the family and she looked like she had the best time. She was one tired pup when we took her home, which is good for us :) we would highly recommend to other and will definitely be in touch in the future :) x”

Charlotte was amazing, very friendly pet sitter who easily and quickly engaged well with Agnes and helped to settle her more anxious behaviours. She has a lovely home and spent quality time with Agnes taking her long walks and generally going above and beyond the role. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Charlotte again and wanted to thank her for taking care of Agnes so well.

FAQs for Dog Boarding – Aberdeenshire
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Aberdeenshire on Rover is £34.5 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 136 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Aberdeenshire. Enter your postcode to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Finding the right boarding environment is all about peace of mind. Boarding with a sitter on Rover helps you find a cosy experience in a real home for your dog.
When searching for a host, look for a sitter who:
- Offers a secure, home-like environment that is clean and welcoming
- Adheres to your dog’s established routine for meals, activity, and rest
- Possesses relevant experience with your pet’s specific breed, size, and personality
- Maintains clear communication regarding the frequency of photo and message updates
Don’t skip the Meet & Greet! The free Meet & Greet is the best way to see where your dog will sleep and who they might play with.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog's vaccines is the best way to be 'boarding ready'. Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Sitters in Scotland may request that your dog be up-to-date on core vaccines, such as Canine Distemper, Canine Parvovirus, Canine Adenovirus (also known as DHP or DHPPi), Leptospirosis and Kennel Cough. Cats may be required to have Feline Panleucopenia Virus, Feline Herpesvirus, Feline Calicivirus, and Feline Leukaemia Virus up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog, 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.
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 .
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 dog to the closest vet. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
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.
We require sitters to operate in compliance with applicable local licensing requirements. In England, pet sitters who board dogs or provide doggy day care as a business may need a valid licence under the Animal Welfare (Licensing of Activities Involving Animals) Regulations 2018. When vetting your sitter, ask if they meet local licensing requirements for dog boarding. This confirmation is important for coverage under the Rover Guarantee.
