Dog sitting jobs in Aberdeen, where offshore rotations keep home boarding booked
Aberdeen runs on offshore rotation, with owners away for two or three weeks at a stretch and no one at home to mind the dog. That is the gap Petme dog sitters fill, hosting one guest dog overnight in your own home while its owner is out on the rigs. Dog boarding in Aberdeen runs £28 to £45 per night, and you keep up to 90% of every booking with sitter cashback.

Where overnight boarding demand clusters across the Granite City
Boarding demand in Aberdeen sits with the family homes and gardens of Cults and Mannofield, where offshore workers and university staff need a real host for long, predictable stays rather than a quick visit. The West End and Bridge of Don follow close behind, with student owners from Old Aberdeen filling the shorter gaps. Working one or two neighbouring areas beats chasing bookings across the whole city, and a settled garden routine keeps rotation clients rebooking trip after trip.

Dog Sitting Jobs in Aberdeen
What new sitters ask before signing up on Petme in Aberdeen.
How much can I earn dog sitting in Aberdeen?
Dog boarding on Petme in Aberdeen runs £28 to £45 per night, with daycare and walks adding daytime income. You set your own rate per service, and with sitter cashback you keep up to 90% of every booking.
Can I board dogs in an apartment in Aberdeen?
Yes. You set your own house rules: the dog sizes you accept, how many dogs at once, and whether your home suits high-energy breeds. Many Aberdeen sitters board small and medium dogs from a flat near a park.
What is the difference between dog boarding and doggy daycare?
Boarding is overnight, billed per night, while the owner travels. Daycare is daytime only, billed per day, for owners at work. You can offer either or both and set a separate rate for each.
Do I choose which dogs and bookings I accept in Aberdeen?
Yes. You review each request, arrange a meet first if you want, and accept or decline. No assigned bookings and no minimum hours. You set your rates and availability per service.
What protection do I get on dog sitting bookings?
Every confirmed Petme booking, including boarding and daycare, includes £20,000 in vet protection for the dog in your care, at no cost to you or the owner.
Do I need a licence to board dogs at home in Aberdeen?
Boarding dogs in your home at scale in Aberdeen needs a licence from Aberdeen City Council under the Animal Welfare (Licensing of Activities Involving Animals) (Scotland) Regulations 2021. Hosting the odd dog is usually fine, but if you take regular paid boarding it is worth checking with the council early so you can plan your garden and space around what they inspect.
When is boarding demand highest for dog sitters in Aberdeen?
Christmas, New Year and the summer holidays are the busiest boarding weeks in Aberdeen, and offshore rotation adds a steady year-round layer on top. Rota workers book long overnight stays that line up with their weeks away, so a Cults or Mannofield host with a reliable garden can fill the calendar well beyond the usual holiday peaks.
