Dog Walking in Aberdeenshire

About: I have 10 acres of private woodland for dog walking. I've taken care of all shapes/sizes and ages of dogs from puppies to old dogs that struggle to walk. My favourite dog is a labrador. On the cat front, my family have always had bengals who you need to be a bit of a mind reader to handle correctly/affectionately. My mum has ran a vet practice down in england for >25 years so I've spent a lot of time with animals growing up. I work from home full time as a software engineer and have my own car (Honda CRV so plenty of space), and have a fairly flexible schedule so can accommodate short notice requests. I will always make sure that all windows and doors are secured so no little escape artists on my watch! And that Collars/harnesses are secured to minimise the risk of slipping collars.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs around since I was born. My family have fostered many dogs; from chihuahua to bulldog’s. I have a special place in my heart for old dogs, who my family have sought out to give them better lives. However, I now currently have two CRAZY dogs from Cyprus, one of which is nervous and I am used to comforting. I’ve taken care of couch potatoes to absolute balls of energy. Although I don’t own one, I absolutely love cats and really want to get one one day, so I would love the opportunity to take care of one. NOTICE: Please read about my availability before booking me. I currently work part time with about three shifts a week, usually 6am-2pm (though times can vary), so I'm typically free from late afternoon onwards on those days, and all day on the rest. I don't have set days and only find out my shifts 2-3 weeks in advance, so my availability will reflect that. I keep my Rover calendar updated, so you can check my availability there. Feel free to message me as well. I take the responsibility of walking my dog and other people’s dogs very seriously. Personally I like using a harness as it doesn’t harm a dogs neck, and is much harder for them to slip, however I will always follow your personal preference. I usually carry doggy treats on me, whether that’s for other dogs or to reward your dog for good behaviour. Generally I won’t allow the dog I’m walking to have interactions with other dogs if it can be helped, or let the dog off leash to prevent any accidents, but this can be discussed. I always feed my dogs at least an hour after exercise to prevent bloat, I’m happy to cuddle and play games and even teach them new tricks.

About: I have grown up with both dogs, cats and small animals and have been a dog walker/pet sister since 2024. I also have my own dog. I have looked after various ages or pets and given medications and catered for various dietary requirements. I am currently a dog walker/pet sitter and have various spaces throughout my dog to fit it pets sit or dog walks when requirement for your pets. I would care for your pets in your home just like I would care for my own dog and have clients who could give references if required too

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my whole life, starting with my Jack Russell I’ve cared for since I was 5 years old. Being responsible for him from such a young age taught me how to properly care for, understand, and build a strong bond with dogs. Over the years, I’ve also pet sat for friends, looking after dogs particularly, and I genuinely treat every pet as if they were my own. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone, and how important it is to feel they’re safe, happy, and well cared for. I’m reliable, flexible with my time, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs—whether that’s playtime, walks, or just plenty of affection. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind and make sure your pet feels comfortable, loved, and stress-free while you’re away. I’m currently at university, but over the summer I’ll be home for around five months and available for pet sitting. I also work a part-time job from Thursday to Sunday, with shifts that can vary between day and night, which means my schedule is flexible and can often be adjusted. Weekdays are when I’ll usually have the most free time, making them ideal for longer visits, walks, and quality time with your pet. I’m great at planning my routine to make sure any pet I’m caring for gets the time, attention, and consistency they need. I’m really looking forward to pet sitting over the summer—not just as work, but as something genuinely fun and fulfilling, where I can spend time with animals and make sure they feel happy, safe, and well cared for. I always adapt my care to suit each pet’s usual routine, as I know consistency is key to keeping them happy and stress-free. In a pet owner’s home, I make sure to follow their normal schedule as closely as possible—whether that’s feeding times, walks, playtime, or just keeping them company—so they feel comfortable in their familiar environment. I also keep the home tidy and respect it as if it were my own. For walks, I make sure dogs get the right level of exercise for their age, breed, energy levels, and what their owner has asked for while always keeping safety a priority. I’m attentive on walks, avoid unsafe situations, and make sure they’re secure and happy at all times. If caring for pets in my own home, I provide a calm, safe, and welcoming environment. I have a fenced garden for secure outdoor time, and my home is very relaxed—pets are welcome upstairs or downstairs, wherever they feel most comfortable. They’ll get plenty of attention, affection, and supervision, while still sticking to their usual routines as much as possible.

About: I have a deep and genuine passion for caring for all animals. Their wellbeing has always been incredibly important to me, I naturally connect with animals of all kinds. Over the years, I have had the privilege of looking after the pets of friends and family, including feeding, walking, grooming, administering basic care, and ensuring they feel safe, comfortable and loved while their owners are away. My current schedule allows me to provide care for your pets on the weekends. I currently have open availability for short notice and pre-scheduled bookings. I provide attentive care in my home and the owner’s home. Creating safe, comfortable spaces, maintaining routines, and ensuring companionship, exercise, and personalised attention to each pet.

About: i’ve helped take care of family members dogs since i was able to stay on my own since 12 friends and family have relied on me to walk feed and bathe their pets and was very happy with my work dog sitting or anything would fit well during the day as i’m a new mum and looking for ways to channel my extra energy and fresh air always helps :) you can trust me with your dog my house is very secure the environment is very clean and safe heaps of friendly dogs around and being a new mum my house is always clean and sterile

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.

About: I've had multiple pets all my life and love all types of animals. I am familiar with many different breeds of dogs and cats and their individual quirks and special requirements. In my adult years I've had several dogs and cats, rabbits, birds and a horse. I worked at a Veterinary Clinic for 8 years and they specialised in small animals and also exotic pets. I have hand reared kittens and puppies that have only been a few days old. I assisted with the care of the animals at the vet and nursed several in need of special care. My work experience gives me invaluable knowledge into animal care. I have an online business and work from home most of the time. So I will be able to spend lots of quality time with your pet/s. I rarely go out for long periods of time so at most, I would be out for a few hours (max 4 hours). I like to make sure dogs have regular walks and toilet breaks. I think it's important that they get a lot of attention, especially on the first few days, so they can settle in and feel comfortable. I would try to stick to their regular routines as much as possible, take them out for regular walks and give lots of cuddles and comfort to them.

About: Hello! I have been around animals my whole life and grew up with many dogs on the family farm. I have a dog of my own now and I have absolutely loved training her as a pup and enjoying the beauty of the countryside with her now. My work schedule is pretty structured with every other weekend off and every other Monday and Friday off but I have availability most early mornings and later evenings! I have a secured back garden for any visitors to enjoy along with my very friendly, playful dog. Lots of comfy and quiet spots around the house for any loafers to kick back and chillax!

“Thank you Emma for the short notice booking! Paddy had a wonderful time and was a very tired boy. Thanks Emma for being super communicative and accommodating. Will be booking again!”

About: I have a Level 3 VTQ certification in Pet First Aid for Pet Professionals from ProTrainings, as well as Dog Care/Cat care Level 2 (VTQ) qualified, which equips me with the skills to handle emergencies and provide essential medical care to pets, and now ensure to carry an animal first aid kit with me to all sits. I've also spent some time as a volunteer at 'Oasi Felice degli Animali' an animal sanctuary in Sardinia Italy, and cared for a wide variety of animals, including horses, ponies, dogs, cats, sheep, and goats. My responsibilities included feeding, grooming, and providing companionship, as well as cleaning their living spaces to ensure a safe and hygienic environment. I also assisted with basic medical care and rehabilitation, embracing the sanctuary’s holistic approach to animal care, which treats animals as autonomous beings and caters to their individual needs rather than trying to control them. Additionally, my experience at the National Animal Welfare Trust involved caring for and cleaning after rabbits, further broadening my animal care skills. I am currently an adult and paediatric student nurse, and have found many skills and therapeutic techniques have been very transferable to my work as a pet sitter ensuring that the animals I care for receive the best possible attention and care. I'm currently, a nursing student, however there tend to be stretches of time where our learning is primarily online so I'm able to work around that. I can provide any type of security measures you deem appropriate for the care of your pet, as keeping them safe is my top priority.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and spend lots of time with my parents’ two border terriers, Bobby and Bertie. I enjoy getting outdoors for regular walks and I’m calm, reliable, and happy to follow each dog’s routine. I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which means I can fit dog walks and visits easily into my day. I’m available for regular walks, check-ins, and occasional weekend help. When caring for dogs in an owner’s home, I always follow their routine and instructions carefully. I’m respectful of homes, keep dogs secure on walks, and prioritise safety, calm handling, and clear communication.

About: I previously worked as a kennel assistant at Lumphanan Pet Hotel, where I was left in charge of the kennels and took care of up to 20 dogs per day, this included walking, feeding, grooming, cuddling and playing with the dogs as well as administering medications. I am a true dog lover who would love to be able to help you out! I work offshore on a 2/2/2/4 rotation (so 2 weeks offshore, 2 weeks onshore, 2 weeks offshore, 4 weeks onshore). When I’m onshore I am completely free for dog care. If my calendar is booked out don’t hesitate to get in touch as my partner also loves dogs and is at home most weekends. I have a fenced, private garden with grass and live round the corner from Duthie Park, the River Dee, and the Deeside Way where I take myself for daily walks!

“I needed someone to look after my lovable but very excitable spaniel with quiet short notice. Hannah was flexible, responsive and was able to step in when I needed it. I was kept up to date and my little one Ginny seemed to have a great walk. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Hannah and already thinking about a potential board.”
