“Our dog Tilly was with Emily for around two weeks whilst we were on holiday, we were able to meet Emily ahead of the stay and she made us feel very confident that Tilly would be in good hands. Organising the drop off and collections was easy and Emily was very flexible with us even when we had to change dates around last minute. Tilly had a great time with Emily and will be staying with her again very soon! Highly recommend Emily.”
“Roz’s family have been amazing. Bock has had THE BEST time with them they have taken such good care of him. She has informed us about everything relevant and sent photos everyday of Bock enjoying the walks and family cuddles. We are so happy to have found you guys!”
“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 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”
“Jemma was absolutely fantastic looking after Ellie over the weekend. This was our first time booking with her, and she made the whole experience so easy and reassuring from start to finish. She was able to take Ellie in on quite short notice, which we really appreciated, and she was quick to respond to all of my questions both before and after the booking. Throughout Ellie’s stay, Jemma went above and beyond with updates. She sent loads of photos without me even needing to ask, which gave me real peace of mind and made it clear Ellie was happy and well cared for. Jemma also took Ellie out to cafés and introduced her to some friendly doggy companions, always checking with me beforehand to make sure I was comfortable with it. I really appreciated that level of communication and consideration. Most importantly, Ellie came back happy and relaxed, which says everything. I will definitely be rebooking Jemma again without hesitation and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone.”
“So happy with Glen and family. Quick communication and easy to book. Booking went well and my dogs were well looked after and was given updates throughout the day. Will definitely use again. Thank you.”

About: I have hands-on experience helping to care for my relatives’ dogs, Annie, Bruno and Terra. This has made me comfortable with dogs of different sizes, ages and personalities, including puppies and medium breeds. I am calm, patient, responsible and attentive, and I understand that every dog has their own routine and individual needs. I will carefully follow all feeding, walking and care instructions and give every dog plenty of attention in my calm, pet-free home. I also live very close to Duthie Park, which is ideal for enjoyable walks and exercise. Owners will receive regular photographs and updates for reassurance. I am currently taking a planned career break, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide dogs with individual attention, companionship and care throughout the day.

I offer a calm, comfortable and pet-free home where your dog will receive plenty of individual attention.

“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!”
“Zhi is absolutely brilliant with our dogs. We had to go away for 10 days as soon as we moved to Aberdeen and were a little nervous about leaving them with someone new so quickly after arriving. Our worries were quickly put to rest! Zhi kept us posted daily on how they were doing. On top of that, his dog turned out to be the best playmate for my two. I couldn’t be happier, and my dogs seem to feel the same!”
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.
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.

“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.”
“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.”
“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.”

“Grace looked after our cat whilst we were on holiday. Grace was lovely and done an amazing job, keeping us updated and looking after Molly. Our cat is older now and hates going to the cattery so it was great to be able to keep her at home and know she was in reliable hands! Thank you so much Grace, we would definitely book you again. Thanks also for feeding the fish! Kirstin”
“We have started using Freya to visit our house and let our puppy out, feed and walk her during the day when we are at work. She is a really lovely girl, sends us daily updates, incredibly easy to get hold of and would absolutely trust her with any of my pets. We couldn’t recommend her enough.”

About: I've been around cats all my life, mostly ginger cats and their chaotic unpredictability, but have also interracted with other breeds and mixes including (but not limited to) persians, ragdolls, tabbies of all colours. My favourite breed is the traditional apple-head siamese cat. I especially love lap cats, but have dealt with highly independent cats (and earned a few scratches along the way). With a previous cat I owned, I had to give oral painkillers every so often due to a bad leg, so do have some experience in this area, but every cat is different. I will be looking to do a pet first aid course in the future.
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.
“We asked Kristy to do a drop in service to feed our cat while we were away for a few days. Kristy was brilliant on keeping us up to date with how Smoky was doing and sent us pictures each day. We came home to a content cat. Thank you Kristy!”
About: Grew up with cats my whole life and looked after cats for my friends and family while they were on holiday. Love to play games with them, but can also tell when they need to be alone. Comfortable with combing, claw trimming and administering medicine.
About: Hello, and thank you for considering me to care for your furry companions! My name is Toni, and I’m an experienced cat parent to three wonderful boys who are the absolute center of my world. As someone who fully understands how precious cats are to their families, I know how important it is to provide not just care but companionship and comfort while you're away.
“This is the second time Sam has looked after Clarence and we are so haooy. Clarence is relaxed and content when we come home, the flat is pristine and Sam is great at communicating/sending photos. I'd highly recommend her to anyone.”
About: I have looked a number of cats over the years and found have a natural affinity to them. I'm a calm presence and a reliable person. Drop me a line and we can arrange a visit to see if your cat finds a comforting energy with me and we can go from there.
About: Had dogs my whole life up until recently. In the past ive looked after dogs, cats, a snake, a gecko etc. So quite used to being around different animals. Ive been trusted to look after 4 collies a whippet and a cat for a few days which is maybe my greatest pet sitting accomplishment Routine is very open right now. Like walking or hiking or climbing, so adding any pets into the mix is very doable. Any work I do have I will know in advance and my calender will reflect that. Quiet period just now so very open :) Ground floor flat next to the playing field and park in Westhill so lots of spaces for walking and playing. Flat has doors that can be shut between kitchens and bathrooms etc so younger or more "inquisitive" pets won't be able to get to anything they shouldnt
About: I’ve had cats as part of my family for most of my life, including caring for my cat for 16 years. I also have experience raising kittens and understand the patience, attention, and care cats need at every stage of life. In addition to my personal experience, I studied Animal Care and veterinary terminology in college, where I learned about animal welfare, behaviour, and handling. While I’m new to professional pet sitting, I’ve spent many years caring for animals and understand how important it is for pet owners to know their pets are in safe and caring hands. I’ll make sure your cat receives the attention, affection, and care they need while you’re away, respecting their individual personality and routine

“Jemma was a delight and looked after Ru very well. Was happy for a meet and greet in advance of the big day. And on the day went for lots of lovely walks with Ru, despite the mixed weather! They even went for a wee puppaccino in a local cafe. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend Jemma for the most excellent care 🐶☕”

About: We had our own lovely Cassie (a beautiful labradoodle) for 12 years. She was much loved and is much missed. Also lots of family pets in younger years. We decided not to replace her as our children live abroad and we want to travel unhindered. Hence me offering to look after other people’s beloved pets - the best of both worlds - a dog in the house when we are available and freedom the rest of the time! Lots of experience looking after other people’s dogs and always treat them with love and respect! Happily retired and my happy place is out in the local county side walking a dog! I can usually accommodate most pet schedules and happy to discuss requirements. Happy to board your dog who will have the run of our large downstairs. Each pet visiting has found the place they like best to sit, some admiring the view of Bennachie out our front window while others love the garden. Prefer a cage for sleeping but, if pet well behaved, can be flexible.

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’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 hands-on experience caring for pets, particularly cats, as I have my own and understand their daily needs, including feeding, grooming, cleaning litter trays, playtime, and providing plenty of affection and attention. I am comfortable recognising changes in their behaviour and making sure they feel safe and cared for. I also have experience walking and looking after dogs, ensuring they get the exercise, attention, and care they need. I am patient, reliable, and confident handling pets of different personalities. I understand how important it is to follow owners’ routines and instructions, and I will always treat every pet as if they were my own, making their wellbeing and happiness my top priority. I’m currently off university and work part-time, which means I have a flexible schedule and can often accommodate pet care at short notice. I always know my shifts in advance, allowing me to plan visits and provide reliable, consistent care. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine to ensure they feel comfortable and well looked after. I understand how important it is for cats to feel safe and comfortable in their own home. I’ll follow your cat’s usual routine, including feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter trays, administering medication if instructed, and providing playtime or quiet company depending on their personality. I’ll treat your home with respect, keep it secure, and send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your cat is happy and well cared for

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: 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’m a passionate animal lover with three dogs and two birds of my own. I’ve also helped care for puppies and kittens, giving me experience with animals at different stages of life. While I haven’t worked as a professional pet sitter before, I have experience helping family members care for their pets and understand the responsibility involved in looking after animals. During college, I studied Animal Care and veterinary terminology, which helped me develop knowledge of animal welfare, behaviour, handling, and basic animal health. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy to care for your pets. I’ll make sure your pets receive plenty of attention, care, and companionship while you’re away, treating them as if they were my own. I currently have a flexible schedule and am available throughout the week and on weekends. I enjoy spending time with animals and have experience caring for my own pets as well as pets belonging to family members. I am happy to provide walks, playtime, feeding, and companionship while following your pet's regular routine. While I am new to professional pet sitting, I have regularly cared for my own pets and helped look after family members' pets. I understand the importance of following feeding schedules, exercise routines, and any special instructions. I am reliable, patient, and committed to making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for in their own home while you are away

“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.”

“Our dog Tilly was with Emily for around two weeks whilst we were on holiday, we were able to meet Emily ahead of the stay and she made us feel very confident that Tilly would be in good hands.

“Jemma was absolutely fantastic looking after Ellie over the weekend. This was our first time booking with her, and she made the whole experience so easy and reassuring from start to finish. She was able to take Ellie in on quite short notice, which we really appreciated, and she was quick to respond to all of my questions both before and after the booking. Throughout Ellie’s stay, Jemma went above and beyond with updates. She sent loads of photos without me even needing to ask, which gave me real peace of mind and made it clear Ellie was happy and well cared for. Jemma also took Ellie out to cafés and introduced her to some friendly doggy companions, always checking with me beforehand to make sure I was comfortable with it. I really appreciated that level of communication and consideration. Most importantly, Ellie came back happy and relaxed, which says everything. I will definitely be rebooking Jemma again without hesitation and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone.”

“Zhi is absolutely brilliant with our dogs. We had to go away for 10 days as soon as we moved to Aberdeen and were a little nervous about leaving them with someone new so quickly after arriving. Our worries were quickly put to rest! Zhi kept us posted daily on how they were doing. On top of that, his dog turned out to be the best playmate for my two. I couldn’t be happier, and my dogs seem to feel the same!”
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.

Thank you both again.”

“Zoe is so lovely and took such good care of our boy when we needed a dog-sitter unexpectedly. Not only that, but we have a terrier who takes time to get to know people before being friendly and he took an immediate like to Zoe. That, to me, is the best praise there could be”
