About: I have a lifetime of experience caring for dogs. I have a chilled, friendly 7yr old pomsky who I have raised since she was a puppy and we both love having doggy visitors stay over. My house is fully fenced in and situated in a cul-de-sac away from Cardiffs busy streets yet its a stones throw away from Roath park. I'm experienced with caring for dogs of all ages with any need. Im a full time Artist (AbstractAkerele) working from home looking for some extra doggy company. I have a friendly 7yr old Pomsky so myvhouse is already very canine orientated. A trypicl day for us usually consists of regular walks, usually around Roath park but on the weekends we like to go further a field. Due to my unique line of work I can fit my schedule to your dogs needs. I will care for your pets to your specifications. The ground floor of my house is open plan with hard flooring. Our garden is large and fully fenced in front and back. Dogs are allowed on the furniture.

“Thank you Stephen for taking such great care of Archie, and for all the lovely photographs you sent, this is the first time we have used Rover and it gave us immense comfort to know that Archie was a happy dog. Hopefully you will be able to look after Archie for us in the future. Kindest regards, Catherine.”


“I couldn’t speak more highly of my experience with Verity & Jordan. I’d never left my dog with anyone other than close friends or family before, so I was really nervous about leaving him, but I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better couple to care for him. Not only are Verity and Jordan the kindest and most genuine people, but they were also incredibly reassuring both before I dropped him off and throughout his stay. They sent regular updates on how he was doing, from walks and mealtimes to morning check-ins, along with loads of photos and videos. It gave me complete peace of mind and I didn’t have a single worry from the moment I left him to when I picked him up. When I went to collect him, although he was excited to see me, it was clear he was just as happy being with Verity, which completely reassured me that he had a brilliant time. I’ll 100% be using Jordan and Verity again and would absolutely recommend them to anyone who might feel anxious about leaving their dog. They truly treat your pet like one of their own, and I couldn’t have asked for anything more.”


About: I have many years of experience pet sitting for my wider group of friends and family and I also used to volunteer at the rescue centre in Penarth where I would take rescue dogs for walks to give them some company and outdoor exercise. I love being around animals and it gives me so much energy. I work from home 5 days a week and so I will always be at home to be attentive to your beloved pet. Growing up, I was never allowed to be around pets as my family were not pet people. Since moving away to Cardiff 9 years ago I have taken absolutely every opportunity to be around animals and to look after pets when I can! Nothing brings me more joy than to be around the pure and unfiltered love and happiness dogs exude and so I look forward to showering your pets with love and affection while you are away! I work from home every day so I will be constantly available to pay care and attention to your pet. I live in the bay near the barrage so I can easily take them for walks in between meetings so they can get some fresh air and have a chance to do their business. I look after pets by giving them the correct amount of attention for their particular personality, certain pets like to be fussed and cuddled whereas others like to be left to their own devices. When looking after others’ pets, I always ensure I have a clear line of sight on them and do not let them off the leash when taking them for walks unless given explicit permission that this is ok!

“Such a great experience. This was my first time booking a dog sitter through Rover and I was quite nervous for it. As soon as I met Junyao, she made me feel so calm about everything. She asked all the essential questions at drop off and made sure to know Bella’s routine and habits. She kept me updated with photos throughout the whole stay and was so attentive. Highly recommend!”
