Pet care experience

Professional Walker & Pet Sitter

Hi! I’m 29, originally from Pembrokeshire. I’ve grown up around dogs and have always had a natural love for them. From a really young age, I’ve felt a strong connection and empathy with animals and have always been drawn to caring for them. What started as helping out family with their dogs gradually grew to neighbours and friends, and now I’m lucky enough to do this full time in Cardiff with The Happy Tails Club. You can find my business on Facebook, Instagram and also at happytailsclub.co.uk where you can view prices, availability & book online. I offer small group walks of up to 4 dogs, solo walks, dog sitting (full day or overnight) I’m certified in canine first aid and emergency CPR, so I’m prepared if anything unexpected happens. I’ve also taken courses in dog behaviour, which helps me understand each dog’s personality, body language, and needs so I can make sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable in my care.

Frodo has a great walk with Sophia and she was communicative and shared lots of pictures and videos. Would definitely recommend.

Sophia was just great. Personable, excellent communication and very reliable dog walker, with result being a well exercised & happy spaniel on the days he went out on a walk with Sophia. Lovely photos of his outings too. Many thanks!

Sophia took such good care of our dog Frodo whilst we were on holiday for 5 nights. She sent us regular updates and photos of what he was up to and let us know how he was doing. We felt he was in very safe hands and felt reassured that he was being cared for to a very high standard. Sophia also left us a lovely note upon leaving and gifted him a Christmas present of a teddy which was very sweet and he loves it. We wouldn’t hesitate to book Sophia again and will definitely be in touch in the future. She also took great care of our home and it was kept very clean and tidy. Thank you Sophia! ☺️ x

Please let me know anything important about your pet so I can give them the best possible care. This includes their daily routine, feeding schedule, toilet needs, favourite activities, walking style (slow, energetic, reactive, nervous, etc.), any behavioural quirks or triggers, how they get along with other dogs/people, recall level, and any health issues or medications. **Please note that I’m unable to accommodate dogs that are nervous/reactive, or strong lead pullers at this time** For drop-in visits, it’s also really helpful to know your home routines, where your pet sleeps, any house rules, how they like to relax, and anything else you think I should know. The more I know, the happier and more comfortable your pet will be with me.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.

These prices are for 1 dog, including a booking fee of 11%.
