About: I started dog walking and pet sitting 5 years ago. Desiring a dog of my own, my private yoga and Pilates clients started saying "watch mine!" and quickly I became booked for dog sitting most weekends and almost all summer. I grew up with horses and three dogs so I am very comfortable around animals of all kinds. A former Division I volleyball player, I'm active and love taking a daily walk or two listening to a podcast, so I might as well bring a dog along! I'm single and do not have children so my schedule is flexible. I do work in person in an office in Cardiff but am able to care for dogs before work, at lunch, and after work. My weekends are free. I do not care for pets in my own home but am happy to care for them in their own homes whether it is coming over for a visit or walk or dogsitting/catsitting and staying the night.
“Kimberly is amazing! This is my third time having her take care of my dog and I know that he is in great hands with Kimberly. She is attentive, communicative, extremely trustworthy, and truly cares for animals. She’s also so easygoing and sweet! Highly recommend.”
“This is our first time working with Dominque. So, we used yesterday's walk to help my fur babies warm up to her in preparation for an upcoming house sitting job next month. My dogs are near 100 each and get real excited when they see other dogs. She did GREAT handling each dog...adopting to their personality, pace, and curiosity. My boys took to her instantly. This brought peace to my heart watching her interact with them so masterfully yet lovingly. I am sure glad we have Dominque to depend on to help with our pet needs!!! She is an answer to prayer!”
About: Pets have been a part of my life ever since I remember and I’ve loved every tail-wagging moment! Friends, neighbors, and family trust me to walk, feed, and care for their furry companions like they’re my own. I love being outside and staying active, so long walks, playtime at the park, and fun outdoor adventures are always part of the routine. Whether it’s belly rubs, puppy playtime, or senior snuggles, I make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved. Need someone who speaks fluent bark and purr? I’m your person! My schedule is super flexible! I work part-time and am also in grad school, so I have plenty of time for long walks, play sessions, and extra belly rubs. Let me know what works best for you and your pet! Your pet’s safety is my top priority! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all instructions carefully, ensuring they stay in their familiar routine and environment. I always secure doors, gates, and leashes to prevent any unexpected escapes, and I’m mindful of any household rules regarding furniture, feeding, and outdoor time. Cleanliness is also key—I make sure food bowls are washed, water is fresh, and any messes are tidied up. Whether it’s a cozy night in or an active day outside, I’ll keep your furry friend safe, happy, and well-cared for!
“I’m so thankful to have found Analisa! My dog is super shy with new people and takes a lot to warm up. She sits with him for a full visit if he refuses to walk, and eventually got him to walk to our neighborhood park after several visits. Knowing he is cared for takes my stress away while I’m at work, thank you Analisa!”
“Lauren was amazing! She was able to accommodate my last minute booking. She was very thorough in preparing for my dog’s walk and was very communicative throughout the whole process. I would definitely book with her in the future!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have experience dog sitting for my neighbors, and more recently, watching my parents’ new puppy. I love being around animals and will give your pet the same love and care I would give my own. I have a full-time job during the week and am fully remote. My apartment doesn’t allow pets, but I’m happy to stay at your home and/or make frequent visits for feeding, bathroom breaks, playtime, walks, etc. :) I’m happy to stay at your home and follow any rules and/or instructions you have! You can trust me to keep your pet safe and provide a loving environment while you’re gone.

About: I want to provide a fun and safe environment for dogs to be in, and I believe that is best accomplished if they are at home, where they are completely comfortable. I have had dogs while growing up starting on my 12th birthday. We also had cats in our household and they always seemed to get along with the dogs. I would love to have a dog now, but I can't have pets where I live, so I would love to care for your furry friend. :) I can drop in to check on the dog or go for a 30 minutes walk 3 times a day, if needed. I also believe it is best to keep them in an environment they are familiar and comfortable with, especially when parents are going away and an unknown person (sitter) is going to care for them. I also care for cats, all ages, all breeds, any special needs. I love my kitties too! :) I am able to do morning, noon and evening walk, or drop in throughout the day, if needed. I am available most weekends and holidays with a few days notice. At your house, I will follow your directions for feeding times, amount of food, or any special instructions. Usually I take the dog for a quick walk / potty break before the meal. After the meal is all about belly rubs, play time and cuddles. I am not able to care for pets in my home at this time.
About: I've had dogs in my life since I was 5. I grew up with Goldens, German Shephards and Labs mostly. I had a pug of my own as well as a black lab. I have 4 siblings and they all have 1-2 dogs and we all laugh that we treat them like humans ie: sometimes they eat better than us! (wink wink). More recently, I lived in a place that wouldn't allow dogs so I would get my dog fix going on my daily walks especially in Encinitas where they are everywhere. But I thought getting into dog sitting/walking would allow me to be around them even more. They are good for the soul. I work remotely and have a very flexible schedule. So I can be available for last minute things that may come up and I'm am able to be at the house/do walks often if needed. I walk about 2 hours a day as it is so it would be in even better addition to my routine to have a dog with me! I am unable to have pets in my home at the moment although that is going to change in the next few months. As far as coming to your home, I am very respectful, reliable and will treat your dog like it's my own.
About: Hi! I'm Ashleigh, and I love spending time with dogs of every age, size, and personality through walks and drop-in visits. Whether your pup is a bouncy puppy still learning the ropes, a senior who needs a gentler pace, or somewhere in between, I'm happy to adjust to what they need. I have hands-on experience with extra-large breeds — my own dog is a 120 lb Alaskan Malamute, so I'm very comfortable with big, strong, and sometimes stubborn breeds that need a confident, calm handler. I know what it takes to safely walk and manage a large dog, from leash handling to reading body language. I'm also cat-savvy, so if you have a cat at home, no problem — I'm comfortable and respectful around feline housemates during drop-in visits. I have a flexible schedule with consulting and I'm available Monday through Friday, mornings until mid-afternoon. If you're heading to work and need someone to swing by for a walk or a check-in on your pup, I've got you covered during those daytime hours when they need it most. Since I offer walks and drop-in visits rather than in-home boarding, your pet stays in their own familiar environment the whole time. I focus on safety during the visit itself - secure leash handling for dogs of all sizes (including XL breeds), checking food/water, and following any specific instructions you leave for feeding, medication, or routine. I always double-check doors and gates are secure when arriving and leaving, and I send photo updates so you know your pet is safe and happy.

At the end of the day, I hope you are completely satisfied with your selected service and refer me to your friends (or keep me a secret). --------------------------------------------------------- *Experience & Qualifications: - Defensive Dog Walking - Special care for puppies and elderly doggos - Mindfulness of the unpredictably of both familiar dogs and unfamiliar dogs - Feed timing, portion sizing, and respect for dietary restrictions - Playtime and exercise creativity I work remotely and can give your pup plenty of love and attention throughout day.

“My wife and I met Christoph at our place last weekend to see how he and our beloved Bakabon got along. Needless to say they hit it off fantastically. He sent us great pictures and thoroughly let us know how each day was. We really hope to hire and see Christoph again in the near future.”
“Communicative and on time. Also understanding. BB had a great time and felt safe. I am working on her separation anxiety and it's good that my progress wont be reset because there are trustworthy people like Kelly. Thank you!”
About: Hi pet parents! ♥️ Thank you for considering me to watch your sweet animals. I’m Amanda Joy, an international pet sitter, Animal Reiki Master 🐶, public health professional, and dog yoga teacher 🌞 I absolutely adore animals and am here to love your beloved pets while you are away🐕 🐱 ✨ I’m 33 and am experienced pet sitting locally and around the world. I spent the majority of 2021 pet sitting around the world while working remotely in public health🌴🌺✨ During my time pet sitting around the world, I spent two months living in coastal town in Panama watching three sweet and hilarious dogs - I absolutely fell in love with these dogs and miss them everyday. I’m still in touch with the family (I visited them recently). Prior to Panama, I was spoiling two adorable, high energy labs in Puerto Rico for three weeks. Before that, I lived in NYC where I completed my masters & then Washington DC where I spent seven years working at the AMA. Throughout my lifetime I’ve always been surrounded by very special animals. I grew up with a golden retriever who beat cancer and lived until she was 15. My lifelong friend has a border collie/Aussie mix that I’m a second mom to - she travels extensively for work so I’ve spent months at a time living at her house watching him and I love him like my own. My “niece,” Zoey, is a very active (and happy!) golden retriever, who I shower with love when I watch her. Recently, I spent three weeks watching a friend’s adorable golden doodle, Winnie, in Hawaii. We spent every morning and evening on long beach walks and lots of ball throws! And of course, cuddles all evening. I also regularly watch another playful golden doodle puppy Juniper—I love being Aunty Mandy to these dogs! I’m constantly surrounding myself with wonderful animals and watching my friend’s pets when they travel - I am so grateful for all of the animals in my life. I cannot wait to meet yours! ✨I also offer energy healing for animals to help them with their emotions & past traumas if that’s something you are interested in. I have a flexible schedule and lead an active lifestyle - I do lots of outdoor walks throughout the day (in all weather!) and dog park trips :) I am currently available for home stays only - I’m very clean, responsible, and attentive - happy to provide additional reviews from clients from my long term dog sit clients in NYC, Wash DC, Panama, and Puerto Rico.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Cardiff
Jacob was great with our dogs! He was communicative, reliable, and very sweet with both of them. They can definitely be a handful around other dogs, and I really appreciated his patience and honesty about how the walk went. He took great care of them and kept me updated throughout. I would definitely recommend Jacob to other pet parents!
Grace has been walking my two hyper and (sometimes) reactive dogs on hour long walks 1x per week. She’s been great with them, and they both warmed up to her so quickly! Grace is always prompt with communicating and her schedule timing. We will definitely be continuing to work with Grace and I’d recommend her to others, too. Thank you, Grace!
