“We felt so at ease with Damien. They sent thoughtful updates throughout the day without us even needing to ask, which made traveling so much easier. Our pets were clearly well cared for and happy. We couldn't be more grateful. We definitely recommend and will book again.”
“I can’t say enough good things about Serena! She treated my pet like her own—so attentive, patient, and caring. I got regular updates that really put me at ease, and I could tell my dogs and cats were happy and comfortable the whole time. It’s such a relief to have someone so trustworthy. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
About: ⭐️ Meet and Greets with new clients ⭐️ DETAILED updates with photos/videos ⭐️ Extra Cuddles and Playtime ⭐️Seasoned in professional pet care Hi! I’m Savannah 🤍 your pet’s new favorite sitter (and probably their future bestie 🐾) I’m new to Rover, but I’ve always had a deep love for animals and truly enjoy being around them. At home, I have a sweet cat named Athena, and have always been raised around dogs so i definitely understand each one is different. I’m also a stay-at-home mama to my daughter—so I have a very flexible schedule and lots of time to give your pets the love and attention they deserve. I don’t just “check in” on pets—I take the time to learn their personality so they feel safe, comfortable, and truly cared for. Whether they’re playful, shy, or need extra patience, I meet them where they are, giving them love, attention, and playtime so they feel happy and at ease while you’re away 🤍
About: I have over 30 years in pet care industry. I Have raised , trained and shown dogs for over 15 years. I was a groomer for 10 + years. I have managed an animal shelter and took in many rescues. Pets are my life and love my job very much. I can administer medications including injections. I look forward to meeting new clients as well as caring for existing clients. I am a full time caregiver. My kids are all grown and on their own so I have plenty of time to spend with your furbaby. I have two separate fenced in yards for outdoor playtime activity. I live in a mobile home community. The entire property is privacy fenced backed with chain link for double security. There is plenty of space for all size dogs to exercise. I have the ability to spend one on one time with your pet or group play other dogs of similar temperament and size. I am experience in doggy daycare settings with 20 plus dogs at one time. I look forward to caring for your precious baby the way I would want my own pups cared for. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule that allows plenty of time to spend with your fur baby. All of our guests have a great time during their stay. Please note: If you are 30 minutes or more past your selected drop off time and you have not reached out to us we will consider this a no show. After an hour with no communication your spot will no longer be available. Communication is extremely important as is punctuatality. We plan our time based on your choices on drop off and pick up times. We do not sit around all day waiting for you to decide to show up or not. It's extremely frustrating for us when there is lack of communication. Thank you for understanding. I have a 6ft high privacy fenced in yard. I separate my personal dogs except for a couple that love to play with other dogs. We do not require meet greets. If you absolutely feel it is necessary we have a limited time slot of 15 minutes and will only accommodate if we have the availability. If you are 5 or more minutes late you will have to reschedule. We take time away from our guests and private time from our families to offer this service. Due to most dogs being temperamentally different when owners are present verses in their absence it really isn't a necessary action to determine your pups stay. I will introduce other dogs only when a new guests has become comfortable with me and my husband. Then we introduce one at a time. This can sometimes take an hour or a day depending on the individual. We require dogs to be crate trained as we crate all dogs even our own for feeding, sleeping and if we need to leave the house. We have a family member that lives in our home. He is there 24/7 so your pup is never left alone. I spend as much time out doors playing with our guests as possible,weather permitting. Indoors is more of quiet time. I do allow guest on the furniture so if that is not something permitted at please let me know. Please be aware this is MY home not a public facility. There may be crates set up in the Livingroom for current guests. I provide toys, bedding, crates and bowls. All crates have a water bucket. You will be required to provide food, treats and medications if needed No pick ups and drops off before 5:00 am and after 8:00 pm. Please schedule your dates accordingly. Please try to stick to your requested pick up and drop off times. While I am flexible I do make plans around the times you selected. If you need to change those times please try to give advance notice so I can plan accordingly. Communication is imperative to have a successful client relationship.
“Heidi was great with Kona! We asked her to stay at our house for 3 nights with our lab who has some anxiety issues when left alone. She sent us lots of pictures, was great at communicating throughout the visit, was extremely friendly and left our house just like we left it! Kona seemed super happy and relaxed when we got back which is always a great sign. ☺️ We would definitely recommend Heidi to any family and friends!”
“Erin was amazing! She did a great job with my cat and he really loved her, and she left my apartment totally spotless. Would definitely recommend her and plan on having her watch my cat again :)”

“This was our first experience with Rover.com, and honestly, we were a bit anxious about entrusting our dogs and home to a stranger. However, Alex turned out to be fantastic! Our male rottweiler can be quite a handful, but we felt at ease with Alex because she’s a vet tech. Her expertise made it clear she knew how to manage dogs with various temperaments. Everything went smoothly on her end. She kept us updated during our trip, which really put our minds at rest. When we returned, the house was spotless; she even washed the bed sheets and towels she used. Alex treated our dogs and home like they were her own. We highly recommend her services and will definitely book with her again!”

About: I’ve been taking care of and loving on the pets of my community since I was 17 years old. I’ve kept cats, dogs, and fish, with various health statuses. Every pet is different, so I make sure to learn their personalities and respect whether they are clingy or standoffish. I can’t wait to hear about your fur babies! I work primarily for myself, so my schedule is customizable and remote. There may be days of the week where I am required to be somewhere for a specific amount of time, but that will be communicated beforehand! Outside of that, I have open availability! Unfortunately, I am not currently able to bring pets into my home. However, I always make sure to respect the clients boundaries. If given the opportunity to take care of your pet, I follow instructions of how the owners prefer for me to watch their pets (which includes food schedule, outside/bathroom time, where animals are allowed in the house, and treats).
About: Hi! My name is MaKenzi and I have had pets as long as I can remember, I grew up with two pitbulls rescues, two smaller dogs, and an older cat that I assumed most of the care for as both parents worked full time jobs. Taking care of multiple animals at one time requires a lot of energy and the ability to organize the things they need well but I learned very quickly! Since I have lived on my own I have helped friends and coworkers with taking care of their beloved fur babies while they’re on vacation or just need an extra hand with their pets. In the last year I have rescued my own kitten and I have absolutely spoiled her with all of the patience, love, affection, and extra care that her heart could desire.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 1,293 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Cardiff. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Cardiff walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Cardiff maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Cardiff choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
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 .
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 veterinarian. 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 authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization 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.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
