“I highly recommend Christopher! He was an immediate hit with our dog, and took great care of her, including taking her for a walk and playing and making sure she had a sleep. He's very respectful of how we work with our dog, and of our property, and we'll be booking him again!”

“Grace did a fantastic job looking after my three dogs and cat. I am such a worrier when it comes to my lot but Grace made me feel totally at ease, she kept me updated with pictures throughout her pet sit and now I’m home all of the animals are as happy as they would be if it had been me with them for the weekend. Grace has definitely been added to my list of very few people I trust with my pets 😂💕.”

About: Hi, I’m Kieran! I’ve spent the last five years caring for my own two dogs, a Caucasian Shepherd and an energetic Pembroke Welsh Corgi. Looking after two completely different breeds has given me hands on experience with dogs of all sizes, personalities and exercise needs. From managing the strength and protective instincts of a giant guardian breed to keeping an intelligent, active small dog mentally and physically stimulated, I’ve learned that every dog is unique and deserves patient, consistent care. I offer reliable dog walking, drop-in visits and pet sitting, always tailoring my care to suit each dog’s individual routine. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime, enrichment activities or simply a calm companion while you’re away, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise and affection. I work in education, so during school holidays I have excellent availability throughout the day. During term time I’m available before work, in the evenings, weekends and throughout school holidays, allowing me to provide flexible care around your pet’s routine. Friends, family and colleagues know me as dependable, organised and calm under pressure qualities that are especially important when caring for someone else’s beloved pet. I understand how much trust owners place in their sitter, and I take that responsibility seriously. When your dog is with me, I’ll treat them exactly as I do my own with kindness, patience and genuine care. My goal is for both you and your dog to feel completely comfortable and confident from our very first meeting. I’ll keep you updated with regular photos and messages so you always know your pet is happy, safe and enjoying their time with m I’m currently on annual leave for the next 6 weeks so have availability every day as I work in education. I can work to meet the needs of you and your pet. I understand that leaving your dog with someone else’s is a big decision, so I treat every dog as if they were my own providing plenty of exercise enrichment and a safe secure environment. My goal is to ensure both you and your dog feel comfortable confident and happy from the moment we meet.
“Lisa looked after our dog for a week in our home and she provided a fantastic level of care to both our dog and home. We were able to fully relax knowing he was in such good hands and we were provided daily updates and pictures of how he was getting on which was great 🥰 Thanks so much Lisa, we would highly recommend to anyone looking for top quality pet care and a genuinely lovely person to work with.”


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.
“Tyra stayed and house sat my two furry friends and they had a great time! Meg has daily ear drops and a supplement which we're no bother at all. Both dogs can be nervous with new people but fell in love with her so quickly and I got plenty of updates through the sit. Tyra is really responsive and attentive to the dog's needs also which was such a relief. I came back to a spotless house, 2 happy dogs and 2 sit reports to let me know exactly how each pup had been habit/feed/behaviour wise whilst away which was fantastic. Would recommend to anyone and will definitely book Tyra again in future! :)”

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.

“We feel so lucky to have found Hannah in our local area. Our Labrador took to her straight away, she has a friendly, outgoing personality who has a passion for animals and the outdoors. Tavish was treated to long walks and lots of cuddles, we received updates and photos during Hannah stay. Hannah takes a professional approach to her role caring for your animal. She is an excellent communicator and has experience with many breeds and their individual care needs. We would not hesitate to use/recommend Hannah in the future.”


About: I have dog sat as a teenager for family friends and now in my adult life I have previously lived with a very nervous rescue dog who needed lots of extra care and attention and have lived with 3 energetic border collies in my last relationship. They were crate trained, 2 F and 1 neutered M. I have had cats, hamsters, dogs, geckos, fish, a python and a bearded dragon! I LOVE all animals and now that I’m at a point of not living in a home with any pets I am really excited to help take care of your little furry family members :) I have experience with reactive dogs and am happy to help with any specific needs your dog has/take into consideration anything that needs to be avoided. I have gave plenty of medications to dogs young and old in different forms, no formal training however I have done it many times and feel confident doing it. I work partially in an office 8-4 and one day a week from home, I am off every weekend. I’d love to spend the spare alone time I have helping other peoples pets :) I have a fenced garden, have no pets currently. I am happy to care for pets in your home or mine. Check ins, overnights etc.
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!
About: Ever since I was little I have always had dogs and cats running around the house. I’m a big animal lover and love the outdoors I am currently qualified as a nursery practitioner, however I am taking a little break from this as I am going to college in September to study animal care and hopefully progress into veterinary nursing. As I am taking a break from working in a nursery, my schedule is fully flexible. I have a fully fenced and gated garden with lots of grass to play on and I can cater to anything your pet may need

Pet owners share their Rover experiences - Aberdeenshire
We booked Chris to look after our dog Goldie, whilst we were away on holiday for 10 days. This is the first time we have had someone stay in our house looking after our dog whilst away. We didn't really know what to expect and were quite hesitant about it. However, we should not have had any concerns whatsoever. Chris was fantastic. He kept us up to date with Goldie whilst we were away sending photos of Goldie having the time of her life whilst we were away, she too was having a holiday, with new exciting walks! Chris went above and beyond, and took really good care of Goldie, he even watered our tomato plants and hoovered up the dog hair before we came oome If anyone is thinking about putting their dog in a kennel, this is definitely a better option, your dog gets to stay at home in a familiar place. I would highly recommend Chris, knowing he takes great care of your pets whilst away. We will definitely be booking again on our next holiday.

I couldn’t have asked for a better person to look after my sausage dog while I was away. I was super nervous as Pumpkin has only ever been left with family members and she is a nervous dog but Charlotte put me at ease and took such great care of Pumpkin and our home. Pumpkin was clearly very happy, well looked after, and was sad to see Charlotte go, which gave me real peace of mind that she was well looked after. Communication was excellent throughout, with regular updates and photos, which I really appreciated. It was so reassuring to know Pumpkin was in such caring and responsible hands. I came home to a relaxed, happy dog and a tidy house. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and trustworthy dog sitter, and I will be booking with Charlotte again in the future.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Aberdeenshire on Rover is £36.8 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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 Aberdeenshire walking routes, the location of your favourite pet shop, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
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.
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 .
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Aberdeenshire choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a key safe or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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 pet to the closest vet. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
