“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!”

“Rebecca was absolutely amazing!! She made murphy so welcome in her house and sent a load of photos through the day to keep our minds at rest. He was well exercised and plenty of cuddles and when we came to pick him up he clearly wanted to stay. We will 100% use Rebecca again for looking after murphy and highly recommend her to others”
“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!”
“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.”
“Zhi and his family took fantastic care of our dog, Misha, whilst we were away on holiday. He kept us updated the entire time with regular photos and videos as well as updates on her behaviour and things they had been up to. During her time with Zhi, she bonded with their own beautiful dog, Dream, and the two have clearly formed a lovely relationship that we will try and maintain by meeting up for walks and play dates. Zhi's communication during the stay was brilliant and his attention to detail was second to none. This being the first time I had left my dog for a long period of time I was a little apprehensive but Zhi put that all to rest. I will definitely book again next time I have a holiday. Thank you Zhi and family and of course Dream!”
“Glen and Sarah couldn't have been better, my energy filled Red Setter settled in immediately and was made to feel completely at home. They communicated promptly and kept me updated over her stay. Absolutely brillant, and I have booked them again for my next break.”
“Niko stayed 2 nights with Jemma and he opened up to her in one afternoon ! Mind you he’s a really anxious dog and a Shiba but he was already sleeping soundly and even had a bath . Will definitely schedule again in the near future.”
“My 2 chihuahuas had a wonderful experience staying with Jane, I thoroughly recommend her. She has a lovely calm and kind personality which was great for my 2 nervous boys, they were very reassured in her presence. She was also very flexible when working with me on a change of dates which I really appreciated.”
“Haley was amazing! Her communication before and during Steely’s stay was excellent and she was keen to find out as many details about Steely as possible. She kept us updated with photos and videos and it was evident Steely had a wonderful time! Thanks so much Haley!”
“I was a little anxious about leaving my 2 dachshunds with a sitter for the first time however Daisy (and Scott) are a lovely, friendly couple and they have such an obvious love of dogs. They came to the house and met my dogs and they all took to each other immediately!! She even invited me to go to her home where I was able to advise them on stairs and going out in the garden etc. Daisy asked questions about Henry and Bean's routines and quirks and listened intently when I explained their love of blankies and their various idiosyncrasies, as she wanted to make sure that she was giving them a home from home experience. It certainly put my mind at ease! Also, while I was away, she sent me lots of photos, videos and updates and also arranged for the doggos to go on a walk with a fellow dachshund! She was kind enough to collect them from my home (with a vast amount of their 'necessities') and dropped them back home when I got back too. Doggies are home very happy (and tired) and obviously have enjoyed their new adventure. I feel fortunate to have found Daisy and Scott and I feel confident leaving Henry and Bean with them in the future knowing that they will get the love, care and attention they have at home. Thanks guys X”
“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.”
About: I’ve been walking dogs on and off for years, and I’m most experienced with medium-sized dogs, reading their energy, knowing when they need a slower pace or a proper run. I spent years working offshore, which meant I could never have a dog of my own. Looking after your dog gives me the chance to give that care and attention I’ve always wanted to give - so your dog gets someone who’s genuinely invested, not just clocking in. I work from home, so pet care fits naturally into my day rather than being squeezed around a commute. That means regular walks, company throughout the day, and no dog left alone for long stretches. I’m based in Rubislaw, which puts me close to some brilliant walking spots - Harlaw Playing Fields, Hazlehead Woods, and the best parts of the West End - so there’s plenty of variety for dogs who like a proper sniff around versus a good run. Spacious, secure Rubislaw apartment with space for a medium-size crate. I’m happy to tailor the home setup to your dog’s preference, whether crate or free roam.
“Jack did a great job looking after our crazy young Cocker Spaniel at short notice, though I think he was very glad to hand him back! Thanks for taking good care of him. He was also very accommodating of our last-minute change of times, and that was very much appreciated.”
About: I've been brought up surrounded by dogs and cats and also have a doggo of my own. I adore all animals having owned rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, cats and dogs. I am the proud mum of my fur baby Buddy and have a keen interest in fish keeping. I am home Monday through Sunday and would love to help look after your fur babies too!! I am home and available throughout the day and would ensure your fur baby gets plenty of time for walkies, play, snuggles and potty breaks. I have a secure fenced garden with plenty to sniff and explore. I also have Buddy the Cockapoo to keep your fury friends company. With regular walks, play, snuggles and potty breaks I'll make sure your fury friends are well cared for whilst away from home.
“William looked after our border collie Alfie who can be quite timid. After a first meet and greet it was clear that he's an experienced dog handler who can read the body language of a dog and understands what they need. They've been out and about a lot for walks and playing fetch. When picking up Alfie, I've found a super relaxed and happy dog. Would highly recommend William, especially if your dog needs a confident handler.”
“I recently boarded my Cocker Spaniel with Cami for a week, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. From the moment we dropped him off, Cami showed genuine care and kindness, which immediately put us at ease. Throughout the week, we received regular updates—photos, videos, and messages—which really helped us stay connected and reassured us that our pup was in safe hands. It was clear that Cami treated him with the same love and attention we would at home. My dog seemed so comfortable and happy, which says a lot about how gentle and attentive Cami was. I highly recommend Cami to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate caregiver for their pet. We’ll definitely be reaching out again in the future!”
“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.”

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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Aberdeenshire on Rover is £34.5 per night (as of July 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 July 2026, there are 134 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. Read more about our requirement for following local licensing requirements .
