I work from home, which means I’m around for most of the day and can give pets plenty of time and attention. My schedule is very flexible, so I can easily plan my day around walks, feeding times and playtime.

Safety, trust & environment
Pets staying with me are cared for in a calm, comfortable home environment. I live in a spacious four-bedroom house in a quiet, leafy area of Cardiff with several parks very close by for regular walks. I have small, fenced patio gardens at both the front and back. I always follow each pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise, and any special instructions from owners. I only take a small number of pets at a time so I can give them plenty of attention and make sure they feel safe and relaxed. I’m attentive to behaviour and wellbeing, and I keep a close eye on things like appetite, mood and energy levels. I’m also happy to send regular photo updates so owners can see how their pet is doing. Above all, I want pets to feel at home here and for owners to feel confident that their pet is being well looked after.

Information Susan J. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your dog needs any particular routines, has any specific habits or activities, and I would certainly be happy to accommodate these.
A typical day
For dogs staying with me, I usually start the day with a morning walk in one of the nearby parks (there are several just 20 seconds from my house), followed by plenty of company during the day while I work. I like to make sure dogs get regular breaks, exercise and enrichment throughout the day rather than being left alone for long periods. Evenings are usually relaxed, with another walk, dinner and time to unwind. I keep my routine calm and consistent so pets feel comfortable and settled while they’re staying with me.

Pet care experience
Hi, I’m Susan 👋 I’m a lifelong cat owner and a big animal lover, and I understand how important it is to leave your pets with someone who genuinely cares for them and respects their routine. I live with my husband, Gary, in a spacious four-bedroom home in a leafy part of Cardiff with multiple parks just 30 seconds from my front door, making it a lovely environment for dogs staying with me. At the moment, we don't have any pets of our own. Because I work from home, I’m around most of the day and can give pets plenty of time, attention and companionship during boarding or drop it visits. Whether it’s walks in the park, playtime, or simply relaxing in a calm home environment, I aim to make pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I am fully licenced for home boarding for up to two dogs by Cardiff Council (licence number: DABO125). I have a clean DBS check and my own private insurance for peace of mind. Boarding in My Home I offer home boarding for dogs in a calm, comfortable environment. Dogs staying with me will have: 🐾 Plenty of walks in the nearby parks 🐾 Lots of company as I work from home 🐾 A relaxed home environment rather than a busy kennel setting 🐾 Time for play, enrichment and cuddles (if they enjoy them!) Drop-in visits I offer pet care in the comfort of their own home, and can flexibly attend your house to feed, water and provide companionship to your pets. My Experience • Lifelong pet owner • Experienced caring for friends/family dogs and through Rover and BorrowMyDoggy • Comfortable with different personalities and routines • Used to shy or nervous pets who need patience • Happy to follow detailed care instructions I pay close attention to behaviour, eating habits and general wellbeing so I can quickly notice if anything seems unusual.

Reviews
Susan was incredible with my two cats! She was very reliable and communicative, and I came home to two very happy and chilled out boys - would 1000% recommend Susan :)
Susan was friendly and enthusiastic. Beans took to her very quickly which is quite unusual for my rather timid cat, so it’s been very relieving to know she has someone she likes visiting her. Susan was a great cat sitter, I’d strongly recommend and will be requesting her again!
Bella was made to feel right at home, which put our minds at ease that she was having a lovely time. Susan was great with he, sshe stayed in touch throughout and Bella was really well looked after. Thank you, we would definitely recommend and use again
Bucky had a lovely overnight stay with Susan and Gary. They asked plenty of questions to make sure he was comfortable and in his routine. They also kept me updated with how he was getting on and some pictures during his stay. Will definitely use them again, they are fab! Thank you from Bucky and I! X
