“Amanda was fantastic. She is very pleasant and very attentive to instructions. She provided excellent care to my dog and he responded very positively to her. I would recommend her to anyone who is looking for a dog sitter/walker.”
“Jocelyn took great care of our puppy during her drop in and did everything we asked of her. Our puppy can’t fully control her bladder yet and had an accident as soon as she was let out of her crate and Jocelyn cleaned it for us. I would consider booking with her again in the future”
About: I’ve cared for dogs my whole life and truly love having them around. I do tend to spoil them, but I always follow the instructions you, the parent, provide. I have had senior dogs and puppies and always give them the extra care they need. We are a retired couple and always enjoy having a dog around us. We have plenty of time to play with pups, and give them lots of love. We have a fenced in backyard to play in, comfortable beds to sleep in. We won’t be taken in other family's dogs while yours is here.
“Cassidy was great and my dogs were very comfortable around her! She is the first person we have had watch our dogs and we are so glad we did! Very professional and sends great updates. So happy we have someone we are so comfortable with for our babies!”
About: I've taken care of all kinds of dogs since I was 15. My neighbors, friends, and family have entrusted me to take care of, walk, and feed their dogs if they need to leave them at home. I've worked at a dog day care and boarding kennel for three years, where I'm in charge of taking care of multiple dogs of various sizes and breeds at a time. This involves cleaning their rooms, feeding them, walking, and playing with them so they receive enrichment while being away from home. I'm currently a full-time graduate student. Outside of school, I have plenty of free time to play with your pups! I'm available for drop-ins or walks on Wednesdays, Fridays, and the weekends. I prioritize your pet's safety, comfort, and routine like they're my own. For drop-in visits, I will follow your instructions closely, including feeding, potty breaks, playtimes, and any other specific needs. I'll make sure all doors and gates are safely closed, or put your pup back in their crate if requested. During dog walks, I will keep them securely leashed at all times and use safe handling practices. I will provide updates to keep you informed about how your dog is doing during each visit.
“Wonderful pet-sitting experience! Our dog was well cared for, and the sitter was prompt, reliable, and very responsive. We felt completely comfortable knowing our pup was in such good hands. Highly recommend!”
About: I have a passion for dogs and I enjoy spending time with dogs and taking the time to train them. I am dog walking various types of dogs and focused on leash pulling, reactivity, recall and basic commands. I'm currently working part-time, so I have a flexible schedule. I work every other weekend in the morning and afternoon and I work a few nights. I have a young dog at home I often take him on walks and play ball with him. I also have a 13 years old English Golden Retriever. I still take her on small walks. I regularly walk two Great Danes 2-3 times a week. I working on leash reactivity and pulling.
“Sam was incredible. What was supposed to be a simple booking turned into my cat getting sick three days before my trip and needing medicine twice a day the entire time I was gone. Sam helped me feel at ease like my cats were in good hands the whole time, and was super communicative with everything. I will absolutely be booking with her again!”
About: Hello! I’ve been trusted by many people in my circle to care for their pets for extended periods of time and also just for potty breaks and walks! Wether your pet just needs some cuddles and social time for a couple hours while you’re at work or a long walk through the park before you get home I’m more than happy to help! I work seasonally in the summer months and pick up occasional substitute teaching jobs in the fall and winter so my schedule is highly flexible and open for dog walking/pet sitting! I prefer if there is a list of instructions for me so I can make sure your pet is getting the same care and attention they would normally receive from you! If there are any behavioral or physical limitations regarding your pet just let me know and I will be happy to accommodate.
“Heath is the absolute best!!!!! Pickles & Peanut were never without love whilst we were gone! All the cute pictures of them everyday were heaven sent 😇 WE ADORE HEATH 😻😻”
“It is so, so great to have a sitter that is not afraid of my zoo! As the owner of two cats, ten geckos, and ten snakes, all with different personalities ranging from shy to outright grumpy, I am very comforted by Rich's confidence in caring for them. I am a total momma bear when it comes to ALL of my critters (even the bitey ones), and I don't even worry while I'm away on vacation.”
“Carse was amazing and we will absolutely be using her again. She was communicative, prompt, followed up with us daily and kept us up to speed on everything that was happening while we were away. Our cat Doug can be a little spicy with new people and Carse was so good he looked more relaxed hanging with her than he does with us half the time. 5/5”
About: Hi, I’m Isabel! I love making sure every pup in my care feels right at home. My husband, Shawn, works fully remotely, and our dog-savvy 10-year-old son loves having furry friends around. We have two dog-friendly rescues, Stevie and Griggs, who are also happy to welcome visiting pups into our home. Stevie was actually a former client who became family, so we know firsthand how special these bonds can be! When your dog stays with us, they become part of our everyday routines. From walks and playtime to simply relaxing together at home, we want every pup to feel comfortable, included, and loved. Think of it as a little staycation with plenty of companionship and a home away from home. We’d love to meet you and your pup! Reach out to schedule a meet and greet so we can get to know each other and see if we’re a good fit. I’m currently working part-time and I go for long walks daily, so I have plenty of time to provide care for your beloved animal friends! I believe pets are family members; anytime I visit a home, I’m a guest of the pet as well! While you’re away (out of town or at work) I’ll make sure that your pet is comfortable at home!
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was about 8, varying from puppies to senior dogs. I’m known to be very loving and patient with animals and having great connections with pets! I’ve worked with animals of all shapes and sizes and love them all! I have a pretty free schedule for the summer so there is plenty of time for me to spend with your pup! I babysit my 2 year old brother some days and work nights in a pizza shop over the weekend. When first meeting the dog/ animal I make sure to dedicate time to allow them to get comfortable with me and the fact that i’m in their home. I like ensuring a mutual feeling of safety and trust between the dog and I so we can have a fun and stress free time together!
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for both dogs and cats. I grew up with two Chesapeake Bay Retrievers and have been around many other breeds over the years. I also participated in 4-H for a couple of years, where I helped train our second family dog. I genuinely love spending time with animals and would be happy to help with dog walking, drop-in visits, or house sitting. I’m available mostly on weekdays, with some weekend availability depending on the amount of notice I receive. I’ve had cats in my own home for the past four years and also have experience caring for family members’ cats. I have reliable transportation, so you can count on me to get to and from your home safely and on time. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets and care for them as if they were my own! I am Available Monday-Friday as of now as I am currently job hunting for a new job. Please reach out with at least 5 day notice for house sitting I would love to help keep your furry friend company either just by going for a quick walk or having a play session or even just giving them some pats and cuddles

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Swansea
Morgan is always quick to respond to scheduling requests. She is dependable for both short-term visits and extended care. I trust her to provide the best care for my two cats in my absence. She gives me peace of mind knowing my fur-babies are adjusting well to her and becoming more at ease each visit.
Amanda was great! At our introduction meeting, she seemed very open to whatever we/Ren needed and her and Ren got along really well. She did all we asked when taking care of Ren and showed up when she said she would. I plan to book Amanda again when we need a fur-babysitter.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Swansea is $21 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $31 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 3,351 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Swansea. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Swansea. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 95% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
