“Our dog, Storm was treated really well, getting lots of treats and toys, taken out for walks and given plenty attention. He was well taken care of, and we got plenty photos and videos, which kept us updated and we enjoyed seeing them. When our Storm was slightly sick, Ellie was really worried and contacted us immediately, and once we got photos of it, we could quickly reassure her that it was nothing to be worried about. And we were really grateful for Ellie’s care and attention for Storm. We would happily book her again.”
“Cindy was fantastic! Mud settled in really quickly, and she made him feel right at home from the moment he arrived. She kept us regularly updated with photos and messages, which was really reassuring. I had no worries at all leaving him with her and would happily recommend Cindy!”
“Kayleigh and family looked after Rufus for 3 weeks in July. They took exceptionally good care of Rufus so we were very happy and will definitely use Kayleigh again. - Plenty of walks and excercise - Nice house and garden in a nice area, so we knew Rufus would be safe and secure - They have a small dog who was a good companion for Rufus - Socialising with other dogs, which was good for Rufus - Daily updates with lots of photos gave peace of mind”
“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.”
“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”
“This is our second time leaving Ellie with Jemma, and as always Ellie has the most wonderful time with her. Ellie stayed over for 4 nights and I always had updates and photos from Jemma on what Ellie was up to which I appreciate so much. And Ellie always gets to go on little adventures when she is with Jemma which Ellie absolutely loves. We have already booked in Ellie with Jemma for an upcoming holiday too. So it goes unsaid that Jemma is highly recommended by us :)”
“Emma and Rover were fantastic with our little terroir dog. From our first meeting, it was clear they genuinely cared, and I felt confident he was in good hands. We maintained excellent communication throughout, and he returned home a happy little dude.”
“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.”
“I cannot recommend Celeste highly enough. From the moment we first met, she was warm, friendly and an absolute pleasure to deal with. It was clear straight away how much she genuinely loves and cares for the dogs she looks after. Daisy had a wonderful stay and was treated like one of the family, with plenty of walks, attention and affection. It was so reassuring to receive regular updates, along with photos and videos, which showed just how happy and settled Daisy was. Knowing that Daisy was in such caring and capable hands gave me complete peace of mind. I would not hesitate to leave Daisy with Celeste again and would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, trustworthy and dedicated dog sitter.”
“Pip loves her time with Rachael and looks forward to playing in the garden with her dog too! Always a wagtail when we arrive on her doorstep. Excellent carer for Pip and loves the cuddles too and regular updates we receive”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life, always having two at home and regularly helping care for other families’ dogs. I’m comfortable with all types—from energetic puppies to older dogs who need a bit more patience. I have experience with walking, feeding, and basic training reinforcement, and I always aim to keep dogs calm, safe, and well looked after. I’m active and enjoy being outdoors, so I’m happy to match your dog’s energy level. I treat every dog like my own and will always follow your routines and care instructions closely. As a PhD student, I have a flexible schedule and spend a lot of time working from home, which allows me to be available throughout the day for walks, check-ins, and care. I’m already out walking multiple times a day, so I’m happy to include your dog in those walks and tailor activity to their needs. I can be flexible with timing and routines, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I always aim to provide a calm, safe, and consistent environment for every dog. I take time to understand each dog’s routine, preferences, and any specific instructions, and I stick to those closely. On walks, I stay attentive and avoid unnecessary risks, keeping dogs on lead unless otherwise agreed. At home, I make sure they’re comfortable, supervised, and settled, with plenty of attention and care. I’m respectful of owners’ homes, keep things clean and secure, and provide updates so you know your dog is in good hands.
About: For almost 11 years my wife and I had our energetic Frenchie, Wilsie; she filled my heart to the brim with love! In Oct 2022 my wife, Kayleigh, and I welcomed our son, and he and Wilsie were besties. Unfortunately we lost Wilsie in June 2025 after a short illness, and despite having a toddler running around the house now feels remarkably quiet without the pitter-patter of tiny paws. Between working from home on differing days of the week and having our little one in nursery, I have plenty of time for doggy cuddles and attention. While my journey on Rover used to be about dog sitting to give Wilsie some four-legged company, it is now to help fill a void in my heart! My wife and I offer flexibility with our work schedules to get out the house for breaks and walks as often as the dogs want. We have an open plan downstairs, double doors leading into a good sized fenced garden and we are happy to sofa share for the furry cuddles!
“Bob had a great time with Portia! She looked after him so well. Lots of walks and even let him pick his own dinner!! World highly recommend her for any of your dog sitting needs. I’m sure Bob will be back (if she’ll have him!!). Caroline”
“Jenna was a life saver when we needed a last minute overnight book. She was very patient with Lola and her needs, Lola was very welcomed and felt safe with her. Good communication throughout the stay with me and we would highly recommend her!”
“Zhi looked after my elderly lab Milo for a few hours. Milo has recently been diagnosed with diabetes and needs insulin injections. I was very happy to leave Milo in Zhi’s care and for him to do the evening injection. Zhi is caring but also very professional in his approach. His home is perfect for Milo who could roam securely in the garden and sit in the sun. A very positive experience for both Milo and myself.”

“Aoife was excellent. Visited every day, communicated regularly, and took care of plant watering and package deliveries as a bonus! We returned to a happy and relaxed cat. Highly recommended.”
“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.”
“Sam was amazing looking after our two cats! She was very tentative and contacted me if there were any queries, the cats had a great time and were well looked after whilst we were away! I would definitely recommend Sam and will book again ☺️”

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.
“We couldn’t be happier with the care Kristy and Tom provided for our cats! Before booking, we visited their home with our cats to meet them and let the cats get familiar with the environment, and from the very beginning everything felt great and reassuring. We left our cats with them for a full week over the holidays, and they truly did an amazing job. Kristy and Tom sent us daily updates and photos, keeping us informed about how the cats were doing. It was clear from the pictures and messages that our cats felt comfortable, safe, and well cared for. We could relax and enjoy our trip knowing our cats were in such loving and responsible hands. We are extremely grateful and would absolutely recommend Kristy and Tom to anyone looking for trustworthy and caring pet sitters. We will definitely book with them again!”
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’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
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 had pet cats for many years during childhood and a few years ago our cat gad kittens and then abandoned them. I had to rear them by hand until they could be taken by foster cats! I often pop in to feed friends cats when they go away and love giving them cuddles and someone to play with. I would love to look after your 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.

About: We have been offering pet boarding for over a year, and I’ve had dogs my entire life. I truly believe they are one of the best companions a person can have. I have completed pet first aid training and focus training, and I care for every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. My husband and children are all involved with the pet boarding and this ensures the pets have plenty of cuddles and attention. I look after your dogs as if they are my own and I follow the routines they are used to. Our dogs enjoy at least two good walks a day off the lead in a safe area and lots of fun and attention. We have a large enclosed garden for them to enjoy as well. My dogs are friendly and used to meeting new dogs and people. We as a family love dogs and all respect and treat them with kindness.
“Roz and her family were very welcoming . Daisy went off with them really easy and seemed very happy. We received lots of photos and was kept upto date. We would highly recommend Roz and would definitely use her again when we return to the area. Thank you for looking after Daisy we will see you again”
About: About Me 🐾 I have been surrounded by pets from a young age and have always been a huge animal lover. I now have my own Westie, who is incredibly friendly, sociable and mixes with lots of other dogs on a daily basis. He absolutely loves having doggie friends come to visit and is equally happy to have them stay for a sleepover! I understand how important it is to know your dog is somewhere safe, comfortable and genuinely cared for while you are away. I will treat every dog as if they were my own, with plenty of attention, affection, walks and, of course, cuddles. I am also Pet First Aid trained, giving you that extra reassurance that your four-legged family member is in safe and caring hands. 🐶❤️ I work from home two days a week, which means I have plenty of time to give your dog lots of company, attention and cuddles throughout the day. I’m also off at weekends, so there is lots of time for lovely walks and adventures. I’m very fortunate to live in an area with plenty of great places for dog walking, and with my own friendly Westie already part of the household, your dog will have a little companion to enjoy them with too. 🐾❤️ For this section, I’d make it reassuring and personal, while mentioning your Westie and your Pet First Aid training: My home is a safe, relaxed and dog-friendly environment where visiting dogs will be treated as part of the family. I have my own very friendly and sociable Westie who loves having doggie friends to visit and stay over. I will always follow an owner’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, medication and sleeping arrangements, so their dog feels comfortable and settled. Dogs will receive plenty of attention, lovely walks and cuddles, and as I am Pet First Aid trained, their safety and wellbeing will always be my priority. 🐾❤️
“This was Ruby's first time away from us at Doggy Day Care. Margaret, Zoe, Skye & family are very friendly caring animal lovers who we trust implicitly with our precious girl. She had a fabulous day full of fun, love, walks and happiness with Skye. We were regularly updated with joyful photos that were much appreciated and reassuring. A truly great experience for Ruby and us. We highly recommend Margaret,Zoe and Skye for you dogs daycare and will be booking them again. Thank you so much.”

“Virgil had a great time with Sarah, Glen and family. They were really great at following our guidance for Virgil given that he's young and still needs things like planned naps. The photos they sent through were so lovely, we knew what he was up and that he was happy. He seemed really happy and chilled there!”
“We had an amazing experience with Zhi. He took incredible care of our dog Moose and his own dog, Dream, was a lovely companion. Communication was excellent throughout the entire stay, and we received lots of photos and updates, which gave us total peace of mind. Our dog came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well-loved. We couldn’t have asked for better care. Highly recommend!”

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.
About: I've grown up in a family that has always loved dogs, so caring for them has been a natural part of my life from a young age. I truly enjoy being around dogs and understand the love, attention, and patience they need to thrive. As a dog owner myself, I have hands-on experience with daily care, exercise, enrichment, and understanding that every dog has their own unique personality and needs. I'm currently completing additional training to further develop my knowledge and skills, allowing me to provide the highest standard of care. My goal is to ensure that both you and your dog feel comfortable, supported, and confident while in my care. I will always take the time to understand your dog's routine, preferences, and needs so that both you and your furry friend have the best possible experience. As a student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to the dogs in my care. From September 2026, I will be attending campus three days a week during term time, with my timetable to be confirmed. I will always ensure your dog receives the attention, exercise, companionship, and routine they need to feel happy and settled. Your dog's safety and wellbeing are my top priorities. I live in a quiet, dog-friendly neighbourhood and provide a calm, child-free and cat-free environment.

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 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 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 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.

I understand that younger and anxious dogs need a little more time sometimes and I am always happy to accommodate them to help build their confidence. I’m a very active and outdoorsy person, so can take your pup on a 30 min walk or a half day hike, whatever suits their needs best. I have handled many working breeds as well as more standard breeds. I am happy to tailor the walk to each unique dog’s needs - whether they are super active or more laid back! I take care of animals full time, so I can typically accommodate most bookings. I love to provide a range of mentally stimulating activities for your pup. That can involve some light trick training if that’s something you and your pup want to do or maybe a walk to somewhere they haven’t been before with lots of sniff stops! I am completing my first aid training currently. If I am in your home, I will make sure that I familiarise myself with the area the dogs are allowed to be in. I will always keep the dog on a lead unless you specifically want me to have an off lead walk/run around in a specified secure area. If you dog is nervous or reactive around other dogs, I would ensure that I plan routes accordingly and at less busy times

“Our dog, Storm was treated really well, getting lots of treats and toys, taken out for walks and given plenty attention. He was well taken care of, and we got plenty photos and videos, which kept us updated and we enjoyed seeing them. When our Storm was slightly sick, Ellie was really worried and contacted us immediately, and once we got photos of it, we could quickly reassure her that it was nothing to be worried about. And we were really grateful for Ellie’s care and attention for Storm. We would happily book her again.”

“Zhi looked after my elderly lab Milo for a few hours. Milo has recently been diagnosed with diabetes and needs insulin injections. I was very happy to leave Milo in Zhi’s care and for him to do the evening injection. Zhi is caring but also very professional in his approach. His home is perfect for Milo who could roam securely in the garden and sit in the sun. A very positive experience for both Milo and myself.”

“We were so glad to have Sean looking after our dog for 11 days. With his rich knowledge and experience, our dog had become calm and relaxed once he arrived at Sean’s home. We were rest assured that our dog would be doing well. Our dog is a timid one, Sean let him socialize with other dogs and people, teaching him to be gentle and calm. From the videos taken by Sean every day, we could see how cheerful and playful our dog was. Definitely we will come back on the next occasion.”

“I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter. She was so kind, caring, understanding, and genuinely lovely throughout the entire booking. She sent me updates every day with great photos and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She paid such close attention to my cat and noticed even small changes, like a bit of swelling around her bum. She monitored it carefully, kept me informed, and was also really mindful of her recent tummy issues. It was clear she genuinely cared about her wellbeing and wasn’t just doing the basics. Her communication was excellent from start to finish, and I always felt completely reassured that my cat was in the best possible hands.
