“Tia and Matt have been an incredible help with us and our new little pup, Skye. They are so reliable and we always feel so comfortable leaving Skye with them. Skye gets treated like a lil princess and absolutely adores them. We couldn’t recommend them enough. X”


About: I have had pets all my life. Taking care of big dogs, cats and many other small animals. I am responsible and kind, I have a clean drivers license and a willing to travel. I am often available with an empty schedule and want to spend some more time with animals and nature. I am currently a post graduate looking to begin a career, meaning I have a lot of time to give to your pet love and attention. I have lots of availability and am free to board almost every day. I currently live in a large farmhouse surrounded by countryside, which has a large fenced garden, so plenty of room for your pet to run and play with me.

“Danielle looked after our dachshund Frank at very short notice and we honestly couldn’t recommend her enough. We received regular photo updates throughout, and Frank looked so happy, relaxed, and completely at home in her care. Not only did she take amazing care of Frank, but she also went above and beyond by completing household chores and leaving the house absolutely spotless when we returned. It gave us such peace of mind knowing he was being so well cared for. A genuinely lovely, trustworthy, and reliable dog sitter, we will definitely be using Danielle again. Thank you so much!”


About: We are a retired couple living in Bridgend. We have had dogs all our lives, however unfortunately, we recently lost our beloved Tilly. We are unable to commit to a pet full time, so hoping to help others by inviting theirs to stay with us. We are retired and are home a lot during the day. We are able to go on long walks, down the beach or to our local field. We have a lot of time on our hands, so would love to bring in a new sense of life to our home with your pets keeping us company. We have a closed garden, bungalow where we both live. We do not have children or other pets and are non smokers. We can offer what is required, including administering medication where needed. I was actually a carer for many years, so know the importance of being specific with requirements.
“It takes a lot to trust someone with your dog but we knew, from his first interaction with Cabot, that Adam would be someone we’d be comfortable leaving him with and we booked him twice straight away. Cabot got on with Adam from the start and had a great day with him. We received a lot of photos of how they were getting along during the day and what Cabot was doing. Can’t recommend Adam enough.”

“Elizabeth made going away for a week stress free, as we knew our cat was in great hands. Excellent communication through it, and giving us updates and sending pictures really helped. Lovely person and will definitely be booking with her again”

“Yasmin was great 💕 this is the second time we booked with her as we knew Raya would be looked after like a princess! Yasmin kept us up to date with photos throughout the day and was easy to get in touch with throughout the week. Thank you Yasmin. Raya had a blast with you 😍xx”

“Amazing, my three fir babies were so relaxed staying in their own home. They were not stressed out and they were spoiled with loads of chicken, which Bella loves. Even Sklya, the stressed out, nervous cat, was eating normally during the week. Bella also loved her daily walks. Will definitely be booking again the next time I go on holidays.”

About: I’m a qualified paramedic, experienced pet owner and self-employed dog walker/pet sitter. I’m confident caring for animals of all personalities, including nervous pets, and provide safe, reliable and loving care as if they were my own. 🐾❤️ 🗓️ Schedule — 43 words I work shifts as a paramedic, which gives me plenty of flexibility and days off during the week for pet care. I’m also self-employed as a pet sitter, so I can offer flexible visits and work around your cat’s usual feeding, play and care routine. 🏡 Safety, trust & environment — 49 words Your cat’s safety, comfort and happiness will always come first. I’ll follow their normal routine carefully, including feeding, litter care, medication and playtime where required. I’m patient with nervous or shy cats and will always respect their space, while keeping you reassured with regular photos and updates.
“Our rescue dog has a lot of anxiety issues this was the first time we’d left him with someone other than family. Amber was amazing with him. We came home to a happy and chilled dog.”

“Leila looked after our dog, Rocky, for over 3 weeks whilst we were away from mid December til early January '25. We had to put Rocky in kennels 2 years ago when we were away and it really traumatised him, he is very much happiest when in his own home with just his family around. He doesn't socialise well with other dogs. We were delighted to find someone available over the holidays who could live in and look after our pet. Rocky is an anxious dog and it takes him time to let people near him and touch him, and we expected that the best we could hope for was that Rocky would be left alone, fed and let out into the garden to do his loo business. Leila visited twice in advance to do some test walks with Rocky and let him meet her, this was well worth the time and much appreciated. Leila gave us daily updates on how Rocky was and we were amazed that they were immediately going on walks 2-3 times a day and he bonded with Leila very quickly. Despite it being through the middle of winter, Leila took Rocky out exploring new areas across local fields and footpaths and washed him down afterwards. Leila also gave him his daily meds and took to caring for him in a calm and organised manner, When we returned home, Rocky was sad to see Leila go and we now have to make sure he keeps up his daily exercise regime as he is fitter than when we left. We could not have hoped for better care for Rocky and would definitely recommend Leila as a dog sitter.”

About: Hi, my name is Chelsea and I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember! 🐾 I grew up surrounded by them in Brazil, and because I moved around a lot growing up, animals became a really comforting and familiar part of my life. While living in Spain, I joined an equestrian centre that also worked as a rescue and shelter, where I spent time around and helped care for all kinds of animals, including horses, dogs, cats, cows, sheep, goats, pigs, birds, reptiles and chickens 👩🏻🌾🌾 It gave me a really broad understanding of animal care from a young age and taught me how different every animal can be in terms of personality, confidence and routine. Since turning 18 (I’m currently 22) I’ve also done volunteer work and regularly cared for pets belonging to friends, family and neighbours. I’ve looked after puppies, kittens, older dogs and cats, nervous pets and larger breeds, and I’m comfortable with dog walking, overnight care, feeding medication, bathing, litter trays, enrichment and sticking closely to individual routines. I’m very patient with animals, especially those who need a little extra time to feel comfortable, are nervous around new people, get excitable on walks or are strong on the lead. I’m always happy to go at their pace and get to know what makes them feel safe and settled. I’ve also had pets of my own. My dog Honey was a huge part of my life before she sadly passed away a few years ago, and I currently have a cat called Mila, who is very spoiled and absolutely the light of my life 🐕🐈⬛💕 I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, so I’d always want you to feel reassured while you’re away. I’m happy to follow feeding schedules, walking routines, medication instructions and all those little habits that make your pet feel at home. I’m more than happy to send regular photos and updates so you can see how they’re getting on 📸🐾 Most importantly, I want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable and loved until their favourite person comes home! 🏡 I work from home with a flexible schedule, which means I’m able to fit pet care comfortably around my day! I’m available throughout the week and can usually be flexible with timings for walks, drop-in visits and longer stays. I also drive, so I’m able to travel to you and have a little more flexibility when it comes to location and timings 🐾 I’m always happy to work around your pet’s usual routine wherever possible, whether that means an early morning walk, lunchtime company or some extra attention in the evening. When caring for pets in their own home, I always try to keep things as familiar and comfortable for them as possible 💖 I’ll follow your usual feeding, walking, medication and bedtime routines closely, as well as any house rules or specific instructions you leave for me. I’m very mindful of safety on walks and around doors, gates and other animals, and I’ll always take the time to understand your pet’s individual needs beforehand. I’m also respectful of your home and will make sure everything is left clean, tidy and secure. I’m always happy to arrange a meet-and-greet beforehand too, so your pet can get comfortable with me and you can talk me through their routine, personality and all their little quirks 🐾

About: I have 2 beautiful cats at the moment... Ollie and Alfie. They are total opposites of each other which I absolutely love. Ollie loves all of the cwtches and luxury you can give whilst Alfie is out climbing trees in all weather's (he loves the rain lol). I'm 44 years old and I live in a small cottage in the countryside with ducks and Poppy my horse along with my beautiful cats.
“Bea house sat for us for 4 nights and was absolutely brilliant, she put us at ease as soon as she came through the door, sent us loads of pictures and had great coms, one of the best on Rover in my opinion, highly recommended”
“Jax absolutely adores Jodie! First time looking after him and she could not have been better. Had updates and photos of Jax during the time. Would definitely recommend Jodie to look after anyone's pet.”

“Gemma came to look after our doodle when we were staying in Porthcawl and going to Cardiff for a gig. Gemma was really lovely and very professional, Ivy was absolutely fine with her and believe me she is a Velcro dog who doesn’t settle easily. Ivy had a lovely walk on the beach with Gemma and she was happy and settled when we returned home. Thanks again Gemma, we will definitely book in with you again when we return.”


About: I’m a Level 3 Animal Care student and proud dog owner with hands-on experience in daily pet care. I love spending time with dogs and will make sure your pup gets plenty of attention, exercise, and care while you’re away! I currently work Fridays to Sundays until around 4–5pm, so I’m available to care for pets in the evenings on those days. During the week, I have a flexible schedule and am available throughout the day until September. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and provide reliable care, walks, feeding, and companionship. As a Level 3 Animal Care student and pet owner, I understand the importance of providing safe, reliable care. I will follow your pet’s routine, ensure they have fresh water, exercise, enrichment, and plenty of attention. I treat every pet with patience and respect and will keep you updated for peace of mind while you're away. ✨️
“Abi was absolutely incredible with our two dogs! She kept us updated and sent photos during the day, and the dogs were so happy and comfortable with her! I will definitely used Abi in the future and I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter! Thank you so much Abi, we all look forward to seeing you again 🐾💕”
About: Hi, I'm H. I grew up with dogs and have been around them for most of my life, including caring for my family's sprocker. I spend my free time outdoors, whether that's camping, hiking or cycling around South Wales. I understand every dog has their own personality and routine, and I always aim to provide care that helps them feel safe, relaxed and happy. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, overnight boarding and flexible care after work and on weekends. I'm also fully insured for your peace of mind. A quick note about my profile photos: the sprocker lives with my parents, and the boxer has moved to another home. There are no dogs living with me, so I can offer boarding in a calm, dog-free environment. I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged family member. I'll care for them as if they were my own. I work full time for the NHS and finish work mostly at 6pm. I can pick up / you can drop off in the evening and am free most weekends. I don’t have any dogs of my own in the house. I have a fully safe private garden. I can either look after your lovely pet in my own home or yours, whichever your loved one feels more comfortable with doing.

About: I have had dogs my whole life since I was a child. I now have a 2 year old cockapoo called Max who since day one has been very active, energetic and playful! I have had him since he was a puppy so I am very used to providing plenty of attention, love and care. He absolutely loves other dogs. I understand dogs are all different and I can adapt to different needs and breeds. I have previously dog sat in people's homes overnight. I love dog walking and I am a very social person who loves to see dogs happy and content outdoors. I am comfortable to allow off lead and on lead depending on your preference. I am not currently in work so I have plenty of flexible daytime hours to dedicate to caring for your pet, Monday to Friday. Walks and drop in between 9am and 2pm. Evenings are also fine after 5.30pm. Weekends are available if planned more in advance. There is access to the safe fenced garden whenever required and we live next to the very popular Newbridge Fields. I have a fenced, medium size garden and a sociable, crate trained cockapoo at home. We go out everyday to the fields or beach and come home to a warm, relaxed environment where the dogs can play, relax and have their own space if needed.
The median cost per night for house sitting in Bridgend is £35

Once again James stayed to look after Rosie and Bea our two chocolate labradors. They love him coming and miss him when he goes. This time however Rosie was taken ill. Due to James swift intervention he took Rosie to the vets and was found to be very poorly. She got treatment immediately which saved her life. We van only thank him for his care and diligence in dealing with an awful situation. We have total faith in him and would highly recommend him to anyone to look after their fur babies.

Keely has been a fantastic dog sitter! She is brilliant with our dog Ted, who loves all her cuddles and fusses. She was really attentive to Ted’s specific needs, particularly around fireworks season, and kept us up to date regularly. Keely also kept the house wonderfully clean and tidy. We will definitely be booking her to dog sit for us again in future 😊

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Bridgend on Rover is £43.07 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 782 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Bridgend. Enter your postcode to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Post & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Rubbish & recycling: Taking bins out on scheduled rubbish collection days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best time to agree on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a 'home cheat sheet' that includes your preferred Bridgend walking routes, the location of your favourite pet shop, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes dedicated customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement programme for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to £25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover must pass an identity verification before they can list their services. An identity verification confirms that the sitter is who they say they are based on their documents.
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 our Trust & Safety page .
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Bridgend choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a key safe or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest vet. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorisation form for your regular vet. An authorisation form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
