House Sitting in South Wales

About: I’ve grown up caring for dogs, cats, lizards, and hamsters! Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I truly adore pets of all kinds. Whether they’re energetic, shy, scaly, fluffy, or somewhere in between, I treat every animal like my own best friend. I work remotely, which gives me a very flexible morning schedule and the ability to create my own hours. I love spending as much time as possible with the animals, making sure they feel loved, stay active and engaged through play, and are always safe and well cared for. I live in an apartment complex, so I generally take my dog out every few hours so he can get his exercise, use the bathroom, and enjoy the outdoors. I do the same with those I’m sitting for!

“Ryan was absolutely AMAZING, and I am so happy we found him! He kept us updated the entire time we were away, and allowed us to fully enjoy our vacation knowing our boy was in good hands. Every video he sent us was our dog crying because he was so happy to be around him. We will absolutely be using him for future get aways and cannot rave about him enough. I am so happy we found out go to person for get aways and I know our dog is obsessed with him and would love for him to stay again. I cannot thank you enough for taking great care of Denver while we were away! We will speak to you soon when we get another trip planned and I am sure Denver will be overjoyed to see you again! 🙂”

“Mary did a wonderful job sitting for Chance & Brownie. She communicated well, took them on daily walks & sent photos throughout the day. I will definitely use her in the future. Highly recommend. 🐾”

“Rachel was wonderful with our Maggie! She was very responsive to our text messages and also so flexible with our schedules and everything involving our dog. She stayed in our home with Maggie, and we returned to our house the way we left it. We highly recommend Rachel for your next pet sitter!”

“Mickey took excellent care of my older pup. She kept me well informed and sent lots of pictures. I came home to a happy and healthy pet. I would highly recommend Mickey and will definitely use her again in the future.”

“Jessie was a wonderful sitter. We made sure to meet up before and get a feel for my dogs. I felt comfortable leaving my dogs with her for a few days. Jessie sends tons of pictures so there's never any worry. I'll be sure to use Jessie again.”

“Bri was communicative and took such good care of our pets (a senior dog, a cat and a fish) while we were away for the weekend. She also took great care of the house and was kind enough to bring in the mail and packages that arrived while we were away. We arrived home to happy pets who were obviously well cared for. I would definitely ask Bri to help us out again. Thank you Bri!”

“Absolutely amazing dog sitter. We were in a difficult situation with a last minute cancellation and she took amazing care of Jaeger while we were away. She did the basic care and went above and beyond with walking him too. We could tell he was well cared for. Highly recommend.”

About: I've grown up around dogs my entire life! From puppies to senior dogs. I will always do my best to provide your dogs with the best service possible! I am my own boss as an esthetician so I have a very flexible schedule. A typical day for me is working 10-5 which gives me plenty of time with your animals in the morning and afternoon! I am always up for a walk! I love to walk my puppy in town or in my neighborhood and would love to do the same with yours!

“Rebecca was wonderful! She was communicative and provided pics of the dogs and asked questions as needed. We will absolutely check her availability next time chewy and Iggy need a sitter!”

About: I’m a construction business owner who likes to stay active during my slow winter months. This usually means traveling abroad but if I’m staying local I like to get out and play with dogs. I’ve always felt a connection with them, speaking their language and body language from a sassy female husky who has perfecting the side-eye and eye roll made me adept and more self conscious dog owner. I am a very responsible person, I don’t take my duties lightly as I know what a pet means to someone. That is your baby your family and I am mature enough to handle things well. I’ve had dogs/ owned/ fostered dogs my entire life. I find dogs much more enjoyable than most people. If I do rarely attend a party, I’m the one outside playing with the dog I’m new on here so my prices are low. This does not reflect the quality of service or care I provide. If reviews would be helpful from the business I run, you can find my company “Gaia Gutters” in buffalo and see what my gutter customer think of me. In my free time I like to do yoga, snowboard, read, cook, and overthink my life. I’m chasing equanimity in all aspects of life and closing to live a well intentioned life. I’m going to India next year for a celebration of dogs for a whole week. I can’t wait. If you want to reach out, feel free. Thanks for reading this far I’m free anytime. Things are slow at my other job so I can help around the clock. I think I covered this in my bio but I have to write something here I can walk them, take them to a park, let them out In your yard, however you want me to take care of them I’m pretty flexible

About: Hello, I’m Deanna! I have lived in the Buffalo area all my life & previously have had 2 dogs. I currently have a 3 year old dog at home. I have done 100+ services on another platform with a 4.98/5 rating. I am looking for some doggy’s to socialize with, provide them with activity & get some energy out! *Please note I am available for sitting but unable to sleep at the house due to childcare* I work remotely and am available during day for pets that need often check-ins. If your dog cannot be left alone for 4+ hours, I am your girl! I will follow instructions left by owner and check in with the owner if questions arise; everyone has their own routine and I want pet & parent as comfortable as possible.

About: I have been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember and have been pet-sitting since age 10 for family, friends, and neighbors. I have almost always lived with at least one cat or dog (or both!) throughout my life. I also have experience caring for rabbits, ferrets, gerbils, fish, parakeets, bearded dragons, and cockatiels. I currently live with two indoor tortoiseshell cats who are comfortable with dogs, and one of my cats is leash-trained. I have raised and trained at least 11 dogs from puppies to adulthood (3 as my own and the others for my parents). Most of my cats I adopted as teenagers, but I have raised a few kittens from a young age. I have done extensive dog training with the 3 dogs I raised as my own in the past, and I am familiar with both dog and cat training techniques. I live in a cabin the woods in Boston, NY, on a power line gravel road. Although I do not have a fenced in back yard, your dog will enjoy going on leashed walks down the power line road multiple times per day! I earn a living through a mix of substitute teaching (summer starts June 25th!), remote research and writing gigs, tutoring, child care, and pet care. I have a flexible schedule and incorporate pet care into the mix as much as possible because I love animals. If I am boarding a dog at my home, I will not be house sitting at that time (and vice versa). While boarding or house sitting, I will consider dog walking and drop-ins depending on the needs of the client and driving distance. If you board your dog at my home, my cats and I wake up early (about 6am) and I like to go outside for a walk down the power line road right away, and then eat breakfast. Your dog will be able to spend time with me all day (on a leash when we are outside), and if I need to leave my house, they will be in their crate for no more than 4 hours (2 is my strong preference). We will go for at least one more walk before dinner, too. I will be sure to give them plenty of play time and exercise throughout the day (depending on their level of activity and how hot it is outside). No matter what, they will get a lot of love and attention! I live in a cabin in the woods in the Town of Boston, NY, so although I do not have a fenced-in yard, there is very little traffic or people around. I will be able to go on long leashed walks with your dog down the power line for exercise, and there are a few friendly neighbor dogs that would love to say hello if your dog is up for that. I do live with two cats: one of them will hide a lot while your dog is here, but the other is very dog-friendly and will want to interact with your dog. I will monitor and separate them as needed (I have a spare room). I have always crate-trained my dogs and so long as your dog is comfortable in their crate, I will use it as a safe place for them to be while they are staying with me.

“We hired Haley to dog sit our two dogs during our wedding day, and she was absolutely amazing! Our dogs are usually slow to warm up to new people, but they were snuggling with her in no time — which says everything about how calm, kind, and trustworthy she is. Knowing they were safe and happy with her gave us so much peace of mind on such an important day. I would highly recommend Haley to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter. She went above and beyond, and we’re so grateful!”

“Caitlin took care of our cat for roughly 9 days when we went on vacation. She provided peace of mind having someone here with our young kitty who has separation anxiety. The house looked great when we got back and he was well cared for.”

Dea P.

“Tatyjana was fantastic. She gave us daily updates and was quick to respond. It was obvious she pampered the dogs while she was here; she even got them to tolerate nail trimmings! When we got home, the dogs were happy, the house was clean, the chickens were taken care of. We will absolutely hire her again.”

Jeffrey T.

“Joslyn took great care of my dog & cat for several days while I was on vacation. She was responsive, caring & responsible. She even won over my reserved dog who has separation anxiety! I highly recommend her!”

About: For the past 4 years, I’ve been the trusted human servant of many adorable dogs and cats! I have experience caring for both small and large dogs, including overnight stays where I make sure pets feel safe, loved, entertained, and spoiled with attention while their humans are away. Whether it’s long walks, couch cuddles, playtime, belly rubs, or keeping up with their normal routines, I’m happy to give pets all the love and companionship they deserve. I work a full time hybrid job that allows me to spend half days at home daily, so I have the flexibility to check in on fur friends and your home at any time! I currently work full time but hybrid so I have the flexibility to stay home with furry friends and provide the care they need most! I always prioritize pet safety by maintaining a clean, calm environments, following routines carefully, securing doors and leashes, and giving every pet attentive, loving supervision.

“Shawna was a life saver! After learning of my MIL’s passing a week before Spring Break, let’s just say, we were having a hard time finding a pet/house sitter. We met Shawna on Tuesday and she was staying at our house with our 2 anxious boys Thursday night. Shawna did everything right making sure the boys were taken well care of and even wanted to vacuum & change sheets in order for our home to be ready for our return. She went above and beyond and we will definitely plan any future trips with Shawna!”

“Ann was fantastic. Lots of communication, pics, and it was clear she was fully engaged with our dogs. The dogs seemed happy and calm when we got home. We look forward to working with her again.”
