Caring & Experienced Pet-Sitter

Pet care experience

Hi! I'm Amy, my family have had cats for as long as I remember but I am secretly a dog person too! Big or small, I love to look after animals; While living in Sydney I was a member of MadPaws and would regularly house-sit, pet-sit and take cute fluffy dogs for walks around the city and parks, and since returning home to Wales and joining Rover in the summer of 2021, I have completed over 100 bookings. I am currently WFH so am able to balance my full-time job with Rover bookings, and will go above and beyond to care for your pets and make sure they are the happiest and healthiest they can be. My garden is fully fenced and secure, and I live really close to Barry Sidings where there's plenty of green space for walks, and more private tracks for pets that are dog sensitive. I'm also not far from Ynysangharad Park for more walks and meet & greets. Although I'm sure there will be no hiccups during your pet's stay, I am fully insured through Protectivity Insurance for peace of mind (on top of the Rover Guarantee), as well as being licensed under the Animal Boarding Establishments Act 1963, by the Rhondda Cynon Taf County Borough Council. Feel free to drop me a message and I will get back to you as soon as I can. (PLEASE NOTE: Due to having recently adopted our lovely cat, I will only be offering pet sitting, walking and drop-in services while little Tigger gets settled into our home. I am also only able to provide 5-day visits at a time due to the new CS hybrid working policy, so will unfortunately need to decline any requests for longer periods than this). I can work wherever there is reliable private WiFi, which allows me to plan well in advance, have a reliable schedule that can fit in easily with your plans, and of course I'm around 24/7 to take care and give fusses to your dog during their/my stay. I am happy to provide regular updates with photos of your furry friend(s) for your peace of mind, and only look after dogs & cats from one family at a time.

Another great Job from Amy. Our boys love when she stays, we feel very secure and stress free when we leave. Amy always provides great updates throughout her stay. Thank you again! The boys cant wait for your next visit.

Amy was fantastic with our two dogs. We booked her to dog sit for the afternoon and night - from the moment she arrived I knew we had nothing to worry about. She was so friendly and so good with the boys. Clearly very knowledgable and experienced with dogs and easy to get along with too. We were able to go out and enjoy our evening without worrying about a thing. She fed the dogs at the time we’d asked for, gave the one dog is medication and let them out to the garden regularly and gave the boys plenty of cwtches and attention. She sent updates and pics throughout the evening which was so nice and we could tell how settled and happy the dogs were when we got one - one of them cried for her after she left! She was absolutely brilliant, I am so glad we found her and will definitely use again - highly highly recommend.

We are so happy with our dog sitting experience with Amy. Our dog is old and can be grumpy and difficult, but she took it all in her stride and didn't let anything become an issue. We really appreciated the daily updates and prompt responses to any queries. She clearly cares for animals and knows what owners need to hear too. Highly recommended!

Information Amy D. would like to know about your pet

It's helpful to know if the dog has any medication they need to take, what kind of diet they are on, any training that needs to be followed, and if they have any unusual behaviours and/or instructions.

A typical day

In a typical day, I'd feed the dogs first thing, then take them for a medium walk around the park later in the morning where they can run around and explore, then a longer walk (depending on each dogs needs and routine) around Barry Sidings in the afternoon, with plenty of fuss and time in the garden (weather permitting) in between. Then dinner and an evening of relaxing time on the sofa (also given your pets usual rules re: furniture) and lastly bed, whether that's in their crate or bed or elsewhere.
