Dog Sitting Cardiff

About: I’ve had dogs all my life and absolutely adore them! For the past 2+ years, I’ve also regularly looked after and dog-sat for friends and family, so I’m very comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, with all kinds of personalities and needs. I also volunteer with the Cinnamon Trust, where I walk dogs for vulnerable people in my community — something I absolutely love doing. I’m vegan and a huge animal lover, and I treat every animal I care for as if they were my own beloved pet. My current job means I’m not able to have a dog of my own, so it’s an absolute pleasure to spend time caring for and loving other people’s pups whenever I can. 🐶❤️ I’m working full time, 4 days a week on week days only. I have weekends and evenings free and would love to use it looking after your pets! I live in a second floor flat. Dogs are welcome in my home and on the furniture. We have green space just outside the flat entrance and plenty of lovely local walks for me to take them on

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’ve loved animals all my life and have 5 years of experience caring for my own two dogs, who are both 5 years old. I’m caring, patient and reliable, and understand that every dog has their own personality and needs. I’ll treat your pets as if they were my own, giving them plenty of love, attention, exercise and care. I work full-time Monday to Friday from 8:30am to 5:15pm, so I’m available for pet sitting and dog walking in the early mornings or evenings after work. I’m fully available at weekends and can be flexible with timings. I’ll always make sure your pet receives plenty of care, attention and exercise. I’m happy to discuss your pets individual routine and care needs. I provide care in your pets own home, allowing them to stay somewhere familiar and comfortable. I’ll follow their usual routine and your instructions carefully, while providing plenty of attention, exercise, companionship and affection. Your pets safety and wellbeing will always be my priority.

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: 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: 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!

“Great communication and lots of picture and video updates during the visits. Pepper was super happy and comfortable with Becs, would be sure to book again, thanks so much! x”

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: I’ve been super lucky and grown up around dogs, so looking after them is like a second nature to me. At my family home I lived with 6 dogs (!) so I have tons of experience caring for all different breeds, sizes and ages. I have experience in looking after other people’s dogs, for friends and family and mutuals of them. I also have experience in looking after dogs in season, dogs who have high energy levels, and older dogs who require that bit more tlc. I am super reliable and will give your dog loads of love and care, whilst keeping you updated with pictures and check ins x I’m currently in full time employment as a NHS nurse working a shift pattern, so my schedule will change every week. I typically have 3 days off a week. I live with my partner who is a chef so we try and accommodate your dog so they aren’t left alone. For future availability please feel free to message me as I can request my shifts in advance. We live in a flat which has a small concrete fenced garden area. It is a 10 minute walk from Roath park, so there is plenty of outdoor space and nearby walks. I drive so if your dog prefers a longer walk then there is an option for this. I currently work full time, however I have shift patterns so between me and my partner someone is usually at home. Please include details of whether your dog can be left alone/how long for as, although it rarely happens, there can be a few hours where we are both at work at the same time. I live in a secure flat with a fenced paved garden. I live a 10 minute walk away from the park and I am able to drive dogs to remote areas for walks .

About: I have grown up around animals and I have a particular love for dogs! I have a huge passion for ALL animals! 🐶 🐕 🐱 🐈‍⬛ 🐈 I have lots of open space for your little companions to roam free and happy, including a decent sized fenced off garden where they can stretch their legs and play. My house is open plan, quiet and very calming. It will be a tranquil relaxing holiday for them, with lots of play time of course! 🤣 🌳 🏡 I will prioritise play time and lots of fusses and I will make sure they feel right at home from the offset ☺️ 🐾 I live on my own. I have no pets/children living here, so this will be as fun for me as it will be for them! You need not be concerned if your pet is a little anxious around other animals or tiny people and I will always make them feel relaxed and comfortable. Please feel free to ask any questions just incase I haven’t covered everything on here! 🙋‍♀️ Whether you have one or multiple furry friends, as long as they all get along, I’m happy to have them whilst you enjoy your holiday/long weekend away/work trip. I’m very excited to meet your pets! 🫶 xoxo I work full time however my rota means I have four days off every four days. On these four days, I have no other commitments so I will prioritise your pet from morning until night. Whether that’s playtime, walks, feeding or cuddles. They will have me all to themselves ☺️ I have a decent sized high-fenced, enclosed garden with real grass and an open plan downstairs. I am happy for them to have free roam of the house or if you’d prefer, I can crate them at bed times as to not disrupt their routine you’ve set for them. My house is quiet and calming which should make them feel at home and relaxed from the offset ☺️

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: 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: Hi, I'm Bing! I offer reliable and caring dog walking and drop-in visits in Cardiff. I have over fiver years of experience caring for dogs, and back home in China, I have a lovely 4-year-old Schnauzer who is a very important part of my family. Having my own dog has given me plenty of hands-on experience with the everyday care, attention, and companionship dogs need. I genuinely love spending time with pets and getting to know their different personalities. Whether your pet is energetic or is a little more relaxed and just wants some company, I'm happy to adapt to their individual needs and routine. During my visits, I can help with feeding, walking, playtime, toilet breaks, and of course lots of attention and cuddles! I'll always follow any instructions you provide carefully and make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away. I'm happy to send photo and video updates during walks or visits, so you can see what your furry friend. I'm a freelancer in music which means I'll spend most of my time working at home. I'm calm, patient, and genuinely love working with animals. Can't wait to meet your baby! I currently have a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to care for your pets. I'm available throughout the week for dog walking and drop-in visits, including both weekdays and weekends. I'm happy to work around your pet's usual routine and can be flexible with times depending on your needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions and your pet’s usual routine, including feeding, walks, playtime and any specific care needs. During walks, I always keep dogs secure and pay close attention to their surroundings. When visiting your home, I’ll treat both your pet and your space with care and respect. I’m also happy to provide regular photo and video updates so you can feel reassured while your pet is in my care.

About: I have around 30 years of experience caring for dogs and have grown up around them, so I’m very comfortable with dogs of different sizes, personalities and temperaments. I understand that every dog is different and has their own routine and needs. I’m confident with feeding, walking, playtime, giving lots of attention and making sure dogs feel safe, relaxed and cared for. As someone who genuinely loves dogs and enjoys long walks, caring for dogs is something I really enjoy rather than simply a job. I would treat every dog in my care as part of the family and make sure they receive plenty of love, attention and exercise. 🐶❤️ I am currently working part time, self employed which makes me flexible. I can fit around any schedules. I am avaliable for overnight care, holidays or just a daily dog walk. I have an enclosed garden and my children are very familiar and confident with animals. I live near a large field with lots of woodlands. I have a labrador (Luna) myself part time that I share with my mother. So Luna can be here or not, depending on the care that is required

About: I offer 1-to-1 dog care including home drop-in visits, private dog walking, day care and overnight boarding. For day care and overnight boarding, I only accept one household at a time, so your dog or dogs will never be part of a multi-dog setting. They will receive my full attention in a calm, loving home environment. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and other animals throughout my life. Until April this year, I shared my home with my Yorkie cross, Tilly. She came to me as a nervous ex-breeding dog, and with time, patience, and love, she blossomed into a happy, confident and perfect companion. I was lucky to share nine wonderful years with her. I’m not ready for another pet of my own yet, but I miss having a dog, which is why I continue to offer my services on Rover. I particularly enjoy caring for dogs who are happiest spending time with people and being part of everyday life. Your dog will be cared for with the same kindness, love, and understanding that Tilly received throughout her life. I take pride in providing reliable care. ✦ DROP-IN VISITS & DOG WALKING ✦ Drop-in visits and dog walking are tailored to your dog’s needs — whether that means feeding and fresh water, a companion visit, some time in the garden, or a gentle walk around the block. I’ll send a quick message after each visit. Before your first booking, I’ll arrange a brief meet and greet at your home so we can put faces to names, meet your dog or dogs in their familiar environment, form an initial bond and go through everything I need to know. ✦ DAY CARE & OVERNIGHT BOARDING ✦ For overnight boarding and day care, I live in a spacious, smoke-free ground-floor flat that has a small private patio area with stones for toileting. If your dog prefers not to use this, I can easily take them on their lead to the nearby communal garden just outside my gate. During their stay, dogs receive companionship and daily local park walks, with occasional car outings such as visits to a dog-friendly café or beach if they are comfortable travelling by car. I adapt their care to their age, energy levels and individual needs, including a gentle, leisurely pace for senior or lower-energy dogs. You’ll receive a message and photo within the first few hours to reassure you that your dog has settled, followed by daily evening updates — less if preferred. I like to arrange a brief, stress-free 10-minute meet and greet before your dog's first booking, usually in the afternoon or evening at one of my local parks. It's a great opportunity to put a face to the name and form an initial bond with your dog or dogs before we begin. Please ensure the drop-off and collection times entered in your Rover booking request are as accurate as possible. I understand that journeys don't always go to plan and delays can happen. If your plans change before or during your dog's stay, please let me know as soon as possible so we can amend the booking times on Rover. ✦ £15 off your first booking — new Rover registrations only — see QR code in my photos ✦ Please read my full profile including the following three sections before requesting a booking — A Typical Day • Safety, Trust and Environment • Information I Would Like to Know About Your Pet. Christmas boarding (24th Dec to 3rd Jan) has a minimum 7-night stay requirement, so I can settle your dog in for the festive period. Drop-in visits and dog walking are 30 minutes, with a 60-minute option also available. Please feel free to enquire about a visit beyond the 3-mile radius for a small additional mileage charge. Day care covers up to 10 hours — shift workers outside standard hours are welcome to enquire. Drop-off is available between 7:30am and 10am, and collection between 4pm and 6:30pm. Alternative or extended hours can usually be accommodated, with an additional £10 charge. Pick-up and drop-off pricing is based on a 3-mile radius; bookings outside this area may incur an additional charge. Your dog will be kept on a harness and lead when outdoors. I use either a standard lead or a 10-metre long line, depending on your dog’s comfort, to allow safe freedom while maintaining control. Off-lead exercise may be considered once recall has been assessed and agreed with you. Their safety is always my priority.

About: I’ve been a dog owner for all 20 years of my life. I have three dogs back home—two seniors and one puppy! I’m currently studying drama at Royal Welsh and I miss taking care of my dogs so much! I spent my years in secondary school pet-sitting/house-sitting for people in my community, and I am a very responsible woman who would love to take care of your pet! :) I’m currently a student studying at Royal Welsh, and I am free at midday, evenings, and weekends. I absolutely love an evening walk, and I also welcome less active dogs. I am available to pet-sit overnight. I am currently unable to board at my home, but I am an incredibly meticulous person, and I will treat your home with the utmost respect, most of all ensuring that your pet stays comfortable in their own home!

“Kiera was absolutely fab! She was absolutely lovely and took such good care of my boy while we were away for a week. It was so reassuring knowing he was in safe hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to ask her to look after him again and would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable cat sitter! :D”
