Dog Sitting Cardiff

About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life, I owned a cat my whole life, and who I absolutely adored! I also have experience with dogs and small pets, I am willing to answer any questions, and I am comfortable with pets of any age! I am able to provide a range of services for your pets, be it taking energetic dogs on long, high energy walks with lots of play, or providing enriching home activities - whatever your pet may need! I am willing to aid in training for younger pets, although not a professional, I do have some experience, and am able to work with you to support your pet! I am currently working part time at a local pub, with an incredibly flexible schedule, which allows me to spend plenty of time with your pets! I am currently a student, with plenty of availability to care for your furry friends! You are more than welcome to ask my schedule whilst I am looking after your pets, and I am flexible and willing to meet your needs for the best care possible! I am typically available any day of the week, providing I have no prior commitments, as long as you are able to give me notice, I will be able to move things around to accomodate your schedule! In late September, I will be moving out of the area for University, however I will still have some availability throughout the year when I am back for holidays! I am fit and active, so able to take dogs on long walks if needed! I am fully DBS checked as I have previously worked with vulnerable children. I adore animals of all shapes and sizes, so I’m willing to meet your pets needs! I will always follow a pet and their owner's lead, and will never do anything that has not been previously agreed! (locations for dog walks, what food will be provided, how much time I will spend in your house etc.) I offer dog walks, drop ins, and pet sitting in your home, in which timings and activities can be agreed in advance!

About: Hi, I'm Lauryn. I've always loved animals and feel most at home when I'm surrounded by nature. I grew up in Somerset with cats, rabbits and chickens, and I've had dogs for most of my adult life. These days I live in Cardiff, where I can enjoy everything from beaches and forests to mountains and countryside walks. I work remotely, which gives me a great deal of flexibility and allows me to provide reliable care for pets throughout the week. I spend most of my free time outdoors, so I can tailor my care to suit your pet's personality and needs. Whether your dog would love a long countryside hike, a beach walk, or simply some company and cuddles on the sofa, I'm happy to adapt to what makes them happiest. I have experience with a wide range of dog personalities. My previous dog was a rescue terrier who preferred her own space and wasn't particularly fond of other dogs or strangers, so I understand the importance of respecting boundaries and recognising when a dog needs a calm, quiet environment. Before any booking, I like to arrange a call or meet-and-greet so we can discuss your pet's routine, preferences, and any important dos and don'ts. I want to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable and well cared for. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, house sitting and overnight stays, and I'm happy to discuss longer bookings where needed. I have a full UK driving licence and my own car, so I can travel. I also have my own dog, Clover, a friendly Labrador cross who weighs around 20kg. She's well-trained, calm and very respectful of other dogs. If appropriate, she can accompany me on walks or house sits to provide some canine companionship; she's used to spending time with friends' and family members' dogs and is happy to play when invited, or give them space if they prefer to be left alone. I also care for cats and other small pets. For cat visits, I attend alone, as I believe your cat should feel relaxed and secure in their own environment without the disruption of another animal entering their space. Thanks for taking the time to read through, Lauryn I work remotely, Monday to Friday, which gives me a lot of flexibility and means I can plan my day around the needs of the pets I'm caring for rather than being away from home for long periods. I have my own dog, Clover, so my days already revolve around walks, feeding, training and playtime, we usually head out for at least 2/3 walks a day, with longer adventures at weekends exploring beaches, countryside trails and local parks. Throughout the week, I can provide walks, drop-in visits, and companionship, while evenings and weekends allow for longer walks, house-sitting, and overnight stays. When caring for pets in their own home, I aim to keep their routine as consistent as possible. I'll follow your instructions on feeding, walks, medication, sleeping arrangements and any house rules they are used to. Before any booking, I'll discuss your pet's routine, personality, triggers and preferences so I can provide care that is tailored to them. For dog walks, I only let dogs off lead where owners have confirmed it is appropriate and safe to do so. I am experienced with dogs who are nervous, reactive or prefer their own space. I have a full UK driving licence and my own car, allowing me to travel to different locations and access a variety of suitable walking routes. I always carry water on longer walks and adjust activities to suit the weather, age and fitness level of the dog. If Clover, my friendly Labrador cross, accompanies me on a walk or house sit, this will only be with the owner's agreement and if I believe the dogs are a good match. She is calm, well-socialised and respectful of other dogs' boundaries. For cat visits and small pet care, I focus on maintaining their normal routine, providing fresh food and water, cleaning where needed, and spending time with them in a way that suits their personality—whether that's playtime, affection or simply quiet company. If you are away I can keep you updated with pics and videos, as well as letting you know how they ate so you can be reassured while enjoying some you time

“Highly recommend Emma! Looked after our cat for four days, spent time with him and sent lots of pics and updates. Very happy :) ”

“Ellie was professional and looked after our cat well. Would recommend to anyone. Thank you.”

About: My family has had rescue dogs for several years, so I grew up caring for them. Since I moved away from home, I've spent time with and cared for friends' dogs too. I currently work full time, but usually free on weekends, and I have one day off a week, which varies (hence why I'd need advance notice for booking). I live in a converted terrace house flat with a small external garden area for toileting. I'm close to several parks and green spaces in Cardiff so plenty of opportunity to get out. I can very easily keep an eye on your dog and would be caring for them on my day off so they wouldn't be left alone.

About: I was lucky enough to have my gorgeous beagle, Alfie, by my side for nearly 15 years, and he really was my best friend. Having him gave me such a love for dogs and I genuinely miss having that four legged companion! I absolutely love spending time with dogs, whether that’s getting out for a good walk, having some company at home, or simply giving them plenty of fuss and attention. I’m not in a position to have another dog of my own at the moment, so dog walking and sitting feels like the perfect way for me to still enjoy having dogs in my life. I know how much trust it takes to leave your dog in someone else’s care, and I’d always treat them with the same love, care and attention I gave Alfie🐶 I currently have a very flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time throughout the week to care for your pups! I’m available for walks, drop ins and pet sitting, and can be flexible around you and your dog’s usual routine. I have a secure, fenced garden at home, but I’m very happy to care for pets in their own home where they are familiar with their surroundings and routine. I’ll always follow the owner’s instructions carefully and make sure their pet feels safe, settled and well cared for.

About: Having fostered over 20 dogs, our experience of their needs is extensive. We believe in positive rewards and frown on old school methods of behaviour management. I work part time and my husband works from home, allowing us to provide care 24/7. We understand that every dog has their own personality, routine and needs. Our aim is to provide a caring, comfortable and reassuring experience while you're away. We provide a calm, clean and caring home where dogs can feel relaxed, secure and settled. We aim to create a stress-free atmosphere filled with familiar home comforts, kindness and reassurance.

About: Throughout my time sitting on Rover, I have gained experiences with dogs aged between a few months old to senior dogs, as well as experience with high-energy and rescue dogs. These experiences have allowed me to really get to know and understand the needs of each dog and how to truly fulfil what they enjoy doing the most! I can care for your pet on short notice and would love to give them the extra love and company that they most definitely deserve. I pride myself on providing regular updates and pictures for each walk, drop-in and house sitting, as I know how important it is for many owners to know that their pet is happy and well-looked after! I also have access to my car so can either travel out further to care for your pets, or if comfortable, can take your dog on a beach walk! I absolutely love taking care of both dogs and cats and would love to lend a helping hand to anyone that needs care for their pets while they're away. I am currently living in Cardiff, with availability across the summer. In September, I will be starting my Masters in Cardiff so will have availability over weekends and holidays. I am able to provide care on short notice too! Before caring for your pet either within your own home or out on a walk, I always make sure to ask of the specific needs, likes and dislikes of your dog. I have found through my previous dog walking and sitting experience that this is so crucial for ensuring that each pet is kept safe and happy while in my care. If your dog is happy to be off-lead, on-lead, likes treats to be brought on walks or likes to stick to the routine trails that they usually go on, I think its really important that the needs of your dog are catered for. I have experience with nervous and reactive dogs, and take extra care with those that may need a little extra space on walks. My goal is to make sure that your pet is safe, comfortable, and most of all, happy when going on walks or within my company within your home. I am always more than happy and encourage meet and greets before each sitting to ensure that your pet is comfortable with me!

“Amy is friendly reliable and communicative. Took great care of my cat while I was away.”

About: Hi I’m Sidney, and am based in Cardiff, Wales. I currently have a sausage dog called Stanley that is 2 years old and growing up we always had dogs in the house, specifically boxers! I’m super comfortable around all dogs and so is Stanley! Absolutely love going for walks in Cardiff Bay Area and Penarth. I have a super flexible schedule right now and am happy to work with what fits you best! Whether it is a fun walk, drop-in visit, or boarding while you’re away I’ll make sure your best friend feels safe, comfortable and is well cared for. I’ll treat your pet as if it were my own and follow any given instructions carefully. I can provide updates at any point during the walk or stay, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. I’m so excited to meet your furry friend and build lasting relationships! My usual schedule starts with a morning walk and potty break followed by breakfast. We will then have some light play time into possibly a morning nap if the furry friend wants it. We will then go for a midday potty break and walk to the Cardiff Bay Area or the local dog park. Lunch and treats to follow if wanted! In the afternoon we will finish our walk back to the flat and either play with the ample amount of toys in our toy bucket or take downtime to rest before dinner. Next is dinner time with another potty break before closing out the evening with snuggles on the couch! Water will always be provided in their dish unless requested otherwise. Pets are rarely ever left alone in my home and if needed I would connect with you first on this. All doors to rooms and bathrooms are shut along with the balcony doors to provide the safest environment. Water is always in their dish unless requested otherwise. Owner instructions will always be followed! My flat is very pet friendly with all wood floors in case of potty accidents and we do allow dogs on the couch for a comfortable stay. Pets are welcomed in and we have a toy bucket as we do encourage play in the flat as well! There is plenty of space for your dog to feel safe and comfortable here.

About: Hiya, I’m a 23 year old girl living away from home and missing her family fur baby, I’d love the chance to walk or sit with any pets as I’m missing mine. I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 14, raising a golden lab and German shepherd from puppies along with dog sitting for multiple family friends. I’ve dealt with all the puppy raptor teething and teenage years but I’ve also cared for my lab towards the end of his life, administering medications and carrying him upstairs so he can sleep in my bed or even bringing my mattress downstairs to sleep with him on the floor when he couldn’t make it up (as seen in pictures). I have lots of training experience as both dogs were rescued as strays and needed training, our German shepherd is a very nervous reactive boy who required some specialist training. My German shepherd is also hypoallergenic so I have an extensive knowledge about pet food ingredients and safety. I’ve also dog sat for multiple family friends where I got to take care of a gorgeous pitty and a golden doodle for multiple days taking them on regular walks, bonding with them, following feeding rules/schedules, and lots of belly scratches of course. I work hybrid so I am only away from home 2 days a week. I have a park less than a 2 minute walk from my front door that I love going to. I’m usually up for a run (or walk depending how lazy I’m feeling) in the morning then a walk on my lunch break and then out again after work. My weekends are full of fun hikes and adventures that I would love some company for. I have an enclosed flat with lots of space your fur baby to roam, I have a park around the corner from me for potty breaks and games of fetch. I am happy to crate your dog or have a cuddle buddy in my bed whichever you prefer I’m happy to accommodate accordingly on anything.

About: I’ve had my own dog for 4 years and raised him from a puppy, so I know how important it is to find someone you can truly trust. As a dog owner and Rover user myself, I know the care, love and attention every dog deserves. Your pooch will always be treated like one of my own! ❤️ Dachshunds are a particular favourite! I’ve cared for lots of them, including longer stays, and love their big personalities and little quirks. Though I’ve come to love all kinds of dogs since working on Rover, so happy to welcome all kinds of breeds. Looking for a safe, loving home away from home? I’d love to look after your pup! I’m a full-time dog sitter and walker, so your pup gets lots of attention, playtime and adventures throughout the day. We’re an active bunch, usually getting out for 3–4 walks a day to explore the local parks, fields and trails. 🐶🌳 Every dog gets a routine tailored to them, with plenty of cuddles and downtime too! 💙 Your pet’s safety, comfort and happiness always come first. 💙 I keep their routine as close to home as possible, with plenty of walks, attention, playtime and cuddles. My dog Noodles is extremely friendly and loving to all the dogs we have welcomed. He’s a really great companion to have if your dog is nervous or needs a pal to play with. But mostly, they typically end up playing and then falling asleep together.

About: Absolutely love looking after people's pets & each pet has it's very own personality. I had my child hood dog for 13 years & now would love to help others... and of course extra puppy cuddles are always a bonus. Recently moved to Cardiff & work fully remote so a friendly pet would make a great work buddy :) Love being outdoors & super excited to meet some pawsome pets! I have been trusted to pet sit many dogs & cats whether that's letting them out during the day, to stretch their legs or over night stays for the weekend or holidays. I'm currently working from home Mon-Fri, as I am self-employed. So, I have plenty of time to keep an eye on your pet, lots of cuddle time & daily lunch time walks. My partner is also a vet so your pet will be in extra safe hands. I have a fully fenced garden with grass, trees & flag stones, so there's plenty of space to keep your pet safe & entertained. I live on a quite road, near lots of parks and lakes. I can't wait to meet your pet & update you through out the day with photo updates if wanted to help ease your mind :) Because I know I'd appreciate this.

About: Hiya! Im Mia, I’m a life long dog lover and after my Gorgeous Springer Spaniel Maggie passed away I’ve been left with a dog shaped hole in my heart! I’m not currently in position where I can provide full time care to a dog of my own, so in the meantime I would love to spend time with yours! Dogs have always brought me immense happiness (as well as a great form of exercise) and I’d love to be able to provide that for you too! I work Monday-Friday 9-5 so weekends are what works best for me, I don’t have any ‘formal’ dog sitting or training experience but I’ve owned several dogs and am super comfortable with them! I work a 9–5 job throughout the week, however on the weekends I’m more than game to spend some time with your wonderful dog! I’m keen to be more active where I can, so if walks are needed that’s no problem at all, but equally I love cuddles as much as the next person! Your dogs comfort is the utmost important thing to me, I don’t want to ruin any routines or upset them in any way! I’m happy to learn what YOUR dog needs, not just what A dog needs! Any extra steps you’d want me to carry out to make sure they are as happy and Healthy as possible are fine with me!

About: What sets me apart is that caring for dogs has always been more than a hobby—it's something I've genuinely loved for as long as I can remember. I've been the primary carer for three family dogs, from raising and training puppies to caring for a senior dog who is now 14 years old. I have experience training puppies and young dogs, helping them learn good manners, basic commands, and positive routines using reward-based methods. I've also rescued an adult Shih Tzu, so I understand that every dog has their own personality and may need patience while settling into a new environment. I'm confident caring for dogs with additional medical needs too. I previously looked after a diabetic Siberian Husky and was responsible for administering her insulin injections, so I'm comfortable following medication schedules and providing attentive care. Over the years I've also spent a lot of time learning about dog behaviour, training, and welfare through books and independent research because it's something I'm genuinely passionate about. I'm currently living and working in Cardiff while my own dogs are back home in North Wales, and I miss having dogs around every day. That's why I'd love to provide your dog with the same care, attention, and affection I'd give my own—whether that's long walks, playtime, cuddles on the sofa, or simply making them feel safe and loved while you're away. I’m currently a trainee clinical psychologist with a very flexible working pattern. I work from home three days a week, work in person two days a week (Tuesday and Wednesday), and usually have weekends free. This flexibility means I can easily fit walks, playtime, toilet breaks, feeding schedules, and plenty of companionship into my day. For drop-ins and walks, I have my own car, so I can travel throughout Cardiff and work around your pet’s routine rather than expecting them to fit around mine. Whether your dog needs an early morning walk, lunchtime company, or an evening visit, I’m happy to accommodate where possible. Whether your pet stays with me or I care for them in your home, their wellbeing will always be my priority. I live alone in a calm environment with access to a secure garden, and I’m used to making my home safe and comfortable for visiting dogs. I know every dog has different routines, boundaries, and preferences, so I’ll always follow your instructions carefully—from feeding and medication to walks, sleeping arrangements, and house rules. I want your pet’s experience to feel as familiar and stress-free as possible. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I’ll always treat your space with the utmost respect and professionalism. I’m also completely happy with meet-and-greets before booking, and if you have home cameras or any other requests that help you feel reassured while you’re away, I’m more than happy to accommodate them. Building trust with both pets and their owners is incredibly important to me, and I’ll always keep you updated with messages and plenty of photos throughout your pet’s stay.

About: I have been around animals all my life and have a fondness for many. I have had experience taking care of dogs and cats of different size and ages and feel comfortable looking after them. I would make sure your pets are very cared for! I am soon to finish my uni course which means I will have more availability to take care of your pets! I am someone who gets up early and can walk dogs around 6:30am and also finish my usual tasks by 3:30pm. I can comfortably keep your pets safe at your home and I am willing to follow your safety instructions for your pets. I will make sure your pets are comfortable and that they have everything they need.

I’m also happy to provide regular photo and video updates so you can feel reassured while your pet is in my care.

“Kiera was fantastic and clearly really cared about and loved being around our cats. She was always prompt and sent detailed updates and photos after visits. We would definitely ask her to look after our fur babies again.”

“Fantastic service, the dogs absolutely loved her”

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.
