“Rhiannon was a wonderful sitter! I was gone for over two weeks and my cat and I both get separation anxiety, but Rhiannon put us at ease. She sent me updates and photos every day, and laid out a clear schedule for her visits in advance. She’s a natural with animals and kept things tidy and looked after while I was away. Would recommend her services and will hire her again!! x”

About: I have a rescue cat which has been with me for 6 years. The mother of the cat abandoned her when she was only 2 weeks old so I had to feed her milk from the bottle, make sure she can do her toilet properly and keep her warm while she was going to sleep. Alongside that I have looked after several other animals such as tortoises, birds and dogs. I’m the happiest when I’m around animals. I just finished my 1st year in Cardiff uni so I’m mainly free to take care of your little ones as home sits or in the afternoons. Regardless of whether your pet is well trained or not I would like you to know that I won’t be letting them off the lead throughout their time with me. I will make sure to keep you updated during the time they’re with me through photos and videos. I will make sure they get good exercise and their safety/happiness would be at the forefront of my mind at all times.

About: I’ve previously owned a cat myself and genuinely enjoy spending time caring for animals. I also have experience looking after dogs for my boyfriend’s family while they were away or working, so I’m used to being responsible for pets’ routines, feeding, companionship, and overall care. I’m calm, patient, and attentive to different animal personalities, whether they’re energetic and affectionate or more shy and independent. I’ve also helped care for newborn puppies, which taught me the importance of being gentle, observant, and responsible around animals. I’m currently on summer break from university, so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of free time to dedicate to pet care. Even when I have occasional coursework or assignments, I’m able to work remotely, which means I can still spend lots of quality time with your cat and maintain their usual routine and care. When caring for pets in their owner’s home, I make sure to follow their usual routine as closely as possible so they feel safe and comfortable. I will feed them on time, refresh their water, keep their litter area clean, and make sure they have a calm and tidy environment. I’ve also regularly cared for dogs for family members while they were away, so I understand the importance of reliability, patience, and keeping pets comfortable in their familiar surroundings. With cats especially, I understand that every personality is different, I’m happy to give affection, playtime, and cuddles if they want it, while also respecting their space if they are more shy or independent. I would treat both your cat and your home with care, patience, and respect.

“Meowser was obviously very well looked after, she was content and happy when I arrived back from travel. Poppy was great, communication was good and she sent many photos. Cat litter was nice and tidy when I arrived back. Great job!”

“Hannah was lovely. Bruce was a little anxious at first but her gentle and calm demeanor soon reassured him. It was a great introduction and Bruce is looking forward to a longer sitting with Hannah on Friday”

About: I’ve grown up around dogs and have two of my own back home: a Samoyed and a Poodle, which I miss very much🥺, And I’m used to different personalities, ages, and needs. They’re completely different, which has taught me how to understand each dog individually. I’ve trained my own dogs, including crate training, potty training, and basic commands like sit, stay, spin, paw and recall, so I’m confident handling behaviour in a calm and consistent way. I also enjoy making dog friendly treats and I’m very aware of what’s safe and unsafe for dogs. I’m a graduating student staying in Cardiff over the summer, so I have a very flexible schedule and can give dogs plenty of time, attention, and love. I have an easy access to a park and a garden, which is ideal for walks and outdoor time. I acquire an enhanced DBS check for added reassurance. I’m happy to help with anything from walks and day care to longer stays, and can also support with basic training if necessary :) I’m available throughout the week for walks, day care, and overnight stays, so I can be really flexible depending on what you need. I’m also quite an active person and love my morning walks, so having a little companion with me would make it even better My home is set up to be dog friendly and clean, so it’s a comfortable environment where dogs can settle in easily. I have access to a garden for quick toilet breaks. And I don’t have any other pets at home

About: I have 2 cocker spaniels at home currently, I have grown up with animals around me and have looked after my family dogs on many occasions. I have also dog sat for a neighbour’s dog who is a Leonberger so no dog is to big or small! I love long walks, lots of cuddles and play time! I miss being around dogs and dog walking whilst at university and would love to be around them again! I am currently a midwifery student at Cardiff university. I am in lectures from the 1st of June so am available before 8am and am available after from around 4:30. I am free most weekends for drop in sessions or walking. Please drop me a message if you would like to enquire about my hours! I do not have dogs living with me in Cardiff and so am able to take care of dogs who may not be friendly with others. I would be respectful of the dogs current routine such as walking them in specific areas that they like and would keep all dogs on a lead to ensure that they are returned safely to you!

“Thank you so much for visiting Grace, she really has come such a long way from the first time you met, still reactive at the door but calming down all the time, thank you for your professionalism and time, we really appreciate it🐺”

“Kerri did an excellent job of looking after Jojo and Doris, providing regular updates abd pictures of their day, I could see how happy they were which made me feel reassured. Already booked Kerri for my next absence away from home, which I know my furbabies will be happy to see her again.”

“Christy is a fantastic sitter, caring and friendly, and happy to send updates to let me know everything is fine. She took time to get to know my cat before her first visit so he was relaxed around her, and when I got home everything was perfect. Thank you!”

Sharon E.

“Emily is a great sitter! She dropped in on my cat Leo over the Christmas period. She was attentive with sending photos and updates and did lots of playing with Leo. Will definitely book Emily again!”

About: I have taken care of cats my entire life as I have had 3 in my 19 years. I also have taken care of dogs every so often. I know the basic routines and structures in both care for dogs and cats. I am currently and unemployed student who is free the entirety of the summer. I can visit your pet multipule times a day. I am avaliable almost all the time. I am avaliable to walk your dog frequently, or let them outside in your garden (if you have one). I can also care for your pet easily within your home.

“Ali was fab with our cat, who is very needy and has some slightly difficult medications. He sent updates to let us know how things were going, which was much appreciated. Thank you so much!!”

About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs, specifically cats, between the ages of about 8-18! I’ve also helped with newborn bulldog puppy and kitten care, including overnight feedings, playtimes and toilet breaks. I’m currently studying full time at uni, but my campus is easily accessible and my schedule is very much self-made, as it’s all coursework and art based! As someone who has three bulldogs at home, one whom has many health issues, making adjustments to support their needs was especially important! Coming from a family who own a dog-walking field, and are trained in dog health and safety, I know at least the basics of caring for your pet!

“Nikki was great, we had to book very last minute and that wasn't a problem at all. Nikki was very good at communicating, keeping us informed about our cat and sent us a picture during her visit which we really appreciate. We will definitely be in touch for future visits 👌”

About: I strongly believe in allowing dogs to come to you. As adorable and squishy as they can be it’s important they trust you and we don’t force ourselves on them. I’ve had dogs since I was a child, I’ve frequently taken care of family and friends pets also - some for long periods of time. In the last 5 years I’ve also had my own dogs with my husband from our beautiful Cavachon🌈 to our now two crazy 3 year olds one a chocolate Labrador and the other a German Shepherd. I am well acquainted with behavioural issues as well as dogs with high anxiety and trauma. Our Cavachon was adopted and had a lot of trauma based anxiety leading to biting. Our German Shepherd is a rescue who didn’t have a great start in life and she’s a very nervous dog (far less nervous now though!), I also have experience with puppies as our Labrador we’ve had from 8 weeks old, she’s a menace! I also have experience with: - Behavioural Issues - Separation anxiety - Giving oral medication - Applying topical medication - RAW feeding - Daily health routines (teeth brushing, ear cleaning, bathing and brushing) - Older dogs - Small and large breeds It’s important dogs feel comfortable and I will follow any routine your dog is used to at your request. I’m also happy to be provided with a list of training commands your dog uses to ensure I am reinforcing the correct words and behaviour. I drive and always have dog seat belts available. In case of emergency I would be able to take your pet to a vet’s. If pre booked by you I am also happy to take your dog to a secure field if you’d prefer them to have more freedom. *I have a disability and can use a variety of mobility aids depending on the day. Please let me know if mobility aids can be triggering for your pup. I can also work in homes that aren’t accessible (just ask if you have any concerns). I work part time for the company my husband and I run. This means my hours are flexible and I typically work from home. I am fairly flexible and I’m open to last minute requests. I follow your guidance, you know your dog best as well the routine your dog(s) know. Whilst I’m in your home I will treat it with absolute respect and always leave it as I find it. I know many owners myself included love to receive frequent updates and photos which I am always happy to provide. If your preference is different I will also respect this and meet your expectations. In the future I hope to open up my own home also.

“Lorena is a great cat sitter and very patient with our rather timid cat! Great communication, will definitely ask her to look after her again”

“I booked Sofia to come and give my new puppy her midday feed and a toilet break. We also have a 10 year old boxer that Sofia gives some love to on her visits. She is great with the dogs, always punctual and a lovely person. Highly recommend.”
