Pet care experience
Loving, Responsive, Knowledgeable.
*Please note, I do not provide constant care unless paid hourly and the appropriate amount of animals are accounted for. I am receiving a lot of requests for this. Hi! My name is Ceridwen (nicknamed Sam in the US) and I absolutely love this job. I relocated to Wales a year ago after living in France, New Zealand, and multiple cities in the States. I really love building ongoing relationships with pups. My favorite part of Rover is not only gaining a new companion, but I thoroughly enjoy the process of meeting people through the love of their animals (I've met two best friends on here!). Additionally, being a part of Rover has complimented my lifestyle as a student and nomad. I've been on the Rover platform for 11 years, but outside of this, I'm a certified trainer with five years of hands-on experience working in behavior modification. I've worked with fear-aggression, anxiety, dog-aggression, and basic obedience under behaviorists at The Dog Psychology Center in Los Angeles. My 200 hour mentorship was under The Mutt Mentor in Sonoma, CA. The majority of dogs I work with can be described as "selective." I'm comfortable with dogs (and animals in general) that are particular with people as I can offer a very unassuming, gentle approach that quickly earns trust.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
When I housesit, I do stay overnight at the home with the dog. Housesitting is definitely my preference. Over the years, I have found this eliminates the first few days of stress that I see in most boarding situations. I do not currently have any dogs of my own. I always let people know that when I'm not taking care of the dog's walks or feeding, I can typically be found hanging out with them watching movies or reading a book. I'm happy to take garbage and recycling out, grab mail, and attend to anything else you need! I will never snoop through people's things or take anything unless given permission. Your home will always be left better than you left it. :)
Ratings and reviews
I never thought we would feel as comfortable as we do leaving our dogs with someone. Sam continues to impress and I could not recommend her enough. She is fantastic!
This was our first time working with Sam and i'm always nervous to leave my fur babies with new people. Sam was fantastic! She was timely, communicative, kind and respective of our home as well as the schedule for our kiddos. In addition, Sam went above and beyond in finalizing her care and time with at our home. Very grateful for this connection and would highly recommend her care to another! Thanks Sam!
Sam was absolutely phenomenal! She recently house sat for us and watched our three French Bulldogs for 2 weeks. She kept us updated daily with pictures and took care of the house as if it were her own. Highly recommend!
Sam did a wonderful job taking care of our pup. Somehow she got him to eat no be so depressed which made our vacation a bit more enjoyable not worrying about our pooch.
Sam is a treasure. We have a lot of pets - cats, rabbits, a Guinea pig with a quirky dog included - and she took it all in stride. Sam is easy-going and extremely intuitive to pet needs, very communicative, takes the best pet pics, and left the house in excellent condition. She stayed in our home while we were away for five days since our dog has separation anxiety. Upon our return, our critters were very happy to see us but clearly well cared for and relaxed. We had a better vacation because we knew our beloved animals were well cared for. Thank you, Sam!
Our dogs and the house seemed really well cared for. Sam provided regular updates and did a great job. I definitely recommend her!

Schedule
I always ask people to leave as much detail as possible in regard to their pup's daily routine so I can follow it to the best of my ability. Please note that I am best suited for those that have jobs in which they leave periodically throughout the day and I do not provide what is referred to as "constant care," as I sometimes have a lecture or short shift to get to. My prices reflect this and I am more than happy to chat to make sure it's a good fit!
