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.
“Blush loved her time with Amber! We got photos and regular communication, plus Amber was super chill about Blush having just come on her first heat. Girly was so happy when we got back to her - thank you!”
“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: Hey, i’m Laura ! Working in HR as my day job allows me to be flexible working from home in the week. I love being able to look after a dog and have company whilst in the house. Hours are flexible so allow me to go on long walks whenever needed. Im currently working full time, but work from home so have full flexibility on caring for a gorgeous dog at the same time. I am also available for boarding, so will make this available as and when available. I live in a house with a garden and lots of space for your dog to feel relaxed, or cwtched up - whatever they prefer! I will ensure all instructions are adhered to, as with my own, i would want to make sure they had an enjoyable experience without causing them distress with a new face. I’d ask questions to ensure you felt satisfied we had covered everything beforehand.
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.
“Emma was a great dog sitter! She was friendly, reliable, and took great care of my dog. I felt completely comfortable while on holiday knowing that my dog was in good hands. Thanks again Emma 🙂”
“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.”
The median cost per night for house sitting in Bridgend is £35

I absolutely cannot thank Henry enough. Chip has had a fabulous time and is a very happy dog. Receiving all the photos and videos of Chip was a wonderful bonus. The house was spotless .. I would recommend Henry and rover.com .. absolutely outstanding (and at short notice as well)
Danielle came to look after our two miniature Dachshunds Millie & Peggy whilst we went on holiday recently and I can’t recommend her enough. We have only ever left the girls with family or friends so trusting a “stranger” to come and stay was quite daunting but we needn’t have worried! Danielle took great care of the girls and accommodated to their little routines. We have already booked Danielle to stay with the girls again later this year and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter in your own home ☺️
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.
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 😊

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.
House sitting is priced per night and generally includes an overnight stay. In the city of Bridgend, the price of house sitting can vary between £29 and £58 per night.
Just make sure you and your sitter agree on the actual hours they'll stay in your home before you accept the booking. Each sitter has their own routine, and some might suit your schedule better than others. Keep your messages on the Rover app for future reference.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a 'home base' service. Most sitters in Bridgend maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for 'WFH' sitters: Many sitters mention 'Work from Home' on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical 'away' windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a key safe. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalised codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in a flat, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or lift etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter must complete an identity verification process before listing their services on Rover. This process checks that the sitter’s identity matches their provided documents.
Identity verification doesn't assess a sitter’s experience or suitability for your pet. To see if a sitter is the right fit, you can review each sitter's profile for ratings, verified reviews, repeat pet owner information and care style. We also recommend arranging a Meet & Greet to discuss your pet’s needs and make sure the sitter is the right fit before booking.

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 , which provides up to £25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
