“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!”
About: I have taken care of pets from an early age for friends, colleagues family. I work in kennels currently and have a love affair for all animals especially dogs! I would love the opportunity to look after all your animals and I always go above and beyond and treat them all like my extended family. Having had dogs in my family for as long as I can remember as a child, I knew as an adult it was natural to have a dog of my own. For almost all my life we have animals, dogs including boxer, staffy and small animals. Having had dogs in my family for as long as I can remember as a child, I knew as an adult it was natural to have a dog of my own. This is where my moose comes in! I work from home half the week and in kennels so I have plenty of time for doggy cuddles and attention. While this journey on Rover will fill the void I have for my spare time to be filled with some four legged company! I’m currently working part time in kennels and have plenty time to fill for all your home boarder pet needs. I’m free most weekends and evening and some days work wound you. I have a fenced garden, all enclosed and crates available for fur baby’s if needed. Im adaptable and always put care love and the needs of the pet first. Cuddles are for free and always on tap :)

“Sarah made us feel very comfortable instantly leaving our dogs for a day with her. One can be quite barky with people coming into her home but she did one bark and instantly loved Sarah so we knew we were on for a win! Got lovely updates throughout day and dogs were very settled when we got home. Thanks again!!”
“Big thanks to Freya for stepping in to look after my dog at short notice. She kept in regular contact, and I could tell Kaya was well looked after during my trip away. Thank You!”

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 was amazing taking care of Frankie, she was flexible and understanding when we needed to change our booking due to weather conditions. Frankie was excited to see her everyday and she would cover her with kisses as soon as she saw her. We would recommend Tyra to anyone looking for a reliable person.”
“Charlotte was excellent and delighted we went with Charlotte to look after Dillon. Given the needs for Dillon, and his mum to reassure her, then we couldn't have asked more from Charlotte. Excellent communicator, attentive, and went above and beyond. Couldn't recommend more.”
About: I am a Registered Veterinary Nurse and I am now studying in Aberdeen to be a vet. I am available to meet and look after your pets during my free time. I am well trained in pet health, first aid and administering medications. I am studying at university, however generally have a lot of free time during the day. I am not always in Aberdeen at weekends but if you need me, I will try my best to help out! I am happy to stay in your home to ensure your pets have their home comforts around them. They will be treated like one of my own.
About: My family had a number of small pets (rabbits, guinea pigs and budgies) that I helped look after as I was growing up. As a teenager I also contributed to the care of our male boxer. For many years thereafter it wasn't possible to have any animals - I had moved abroad for university, spent time away on placement, started full-time work thereafter with life in rented accommodation which didn't allow pets. This change in 2020 when I lodged with a new landlady and her 2 adorable cocker spaniels. We became friends and when I visit I continue to take care of them when their owner is away; daytime and overnight. That includes walks on the beach or on a forest trail, where their favourite activity is to chase a tennis ball, followed by a swim. Once home, the boys make it clear that they would like food and ongoing attention in the form of belly rubs I'm very happy to oblige with. Following their owners suggestion I registered on borrowmydoggy in 2021 and met through this service a number of lovely dogs, mostly larger breeds (German Shepherd, Huskies, Malamute) but I've also started looking after a very confident and fast Chihuahua/Jack Russell lady who enjoys meeting new dogs on her park walks. My availability varies weekly. I prefer late morning and early afternoon sessions which give me a nice break from working at home on days that I can. I live in a top floor rented flat and have access to a small enclosed communal garden to the rear of the property. There is no lift so your pet needs to be able to climb stairs. Cats visit the garden frequently. I can take your pet to the beach or forest in my car.
About: Me and my mother do this together both love animals I’ve worked in a kennel which includes working with new dogs on a daily basis and walking more that 2 dogs at a time. I’ve also trained multiple dogs from pulling on the lead and other training I have most the day free to walk dogs if they need multiple walks in a day. I can also drive to your location if needed. I can crate your dog if needed. I would make sure all dogs are closed if need be. Also have transport if anything happened can get the dog to the vet
“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 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: I have had dogs my entire life and cats for the majority of my childhood. I have experience with big dogs, small dogs, puppies cats and kittens too! I would love to look after their pet and provide peace of mind for you when you are not there. I live in Aberdeen and do shift work full time so my work days can vary. I currently work full time but have shift patterns that mean I am off sometimes 5 or 6 days in a row. Some days I only work until 1 pm and other days I don’t start until 2. So I have plenty of time to fit pet care in around my work :) I cannot take pets into my home overnight. I am very happy to do pop ins to feed and play with dogs and cats or dog walks. I can pet sit in your home if that is required. I like walking and can offer long walks for more energetic dogs or short walks for slower or smaller dogs :) I do not want to take any reactive or aggressive dogs unfortunately.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Aberdeenshire is £30

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 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!
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.

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.
