We are very pleased with Kerri and feel lucky to have found her to walk Storm. She is very reliable and we were able to have a nice holiday knowing he was in good hands on his walks with Kerri. Highly recommend.

We were really pleased with Melissa - she walked our dogs whilst we were on holiday and loved that she kept us updated with pictures and videos. She’s very kind and friendly and can adapt to your dog’s needs. We would definitely book her again! Thank you :)

Kaludia has been very patient and kind with our dog Winnie who was initially very shy. She does a great job taking winnie on walks nearby to where we live and keeps me up to date with photos. Would recommend her to others!

About: Although never professionally involved in the pet care industry, I’ve grown up with dogs and cats, all with different personalities! Within my village, I walked dogs for many families, including a few home stays when needed. Being a pet lover, I know the joy a single walk brings to our pets. I will help you love your furry friends when your schedule does not allow you! I am currently an international student, only in two days a week. I am fairly flexible in my routine after Monday and Tuesday. I have developed a routine to complete my school/daily tasks, allowing me to now incorporate other priorities. In a pet owner’s home, I stick closely to their routine so pets feel safe and comfortable. I follow feeding, walking, and medication instructions carefully, provide plenty of attention and exercise, keep the space clean, and send updates if wanted!

About: I'm a clean, tidy, considerate person who has taken care of pets in other people's homes ever since I was little. Dogs are very good for my mental health and I really enjoy being in the company of cats too. My ex-boyfriends have always had dogs which I have enjoyed looking after when we’ve been together (and been very sad to leave!). My cat Crazy Bob sadly passed away when I was 19, and my current landlord doesn’t allow pets - plus every housemate I’ve had since graduating uni is allergic to cats - so I can’t have them in my own home. Therefore this is the best way for me to have quality time with animals. I am very happy to send daily photo and video updates as I know how hard it is when you are missing your best friends! I currently work 9-5 in a hybrid capacity between the office and from home. I wfh Thurs-Fri and I have my weekends free. I am available after 8pm on Thursdays and from Friday - Sunday I am available all day. I like to care for pets by following their established routine. Dogs for example, whether that’s taking regular short - long walks, playtime, time off lead, having the occasional treat, staying on the lead, socialising with other dogs or watching TV at home, having a healthy amount of meals and having plenty of cuddles!

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: As a dog owner myself, I understand the importance of regular exercise and mental stimulation for our dogs. With my lovable cockapoo Hugo by my side, I'm always eager to hit the trails and explore new places. With years of experience caring for dogs, including previous pets, I'm confident in providing fun and safe dog walking adventures for your pup. Let's get walking! I have a very flexible schedule at the moment so I will have plenty of time to spend with your pet including evening and weekends I am available for dog sitting, walking and visits in/from your home. Unfortunately I do not have the space to be able to offer dog boarding services from my own home.

About: **I've had past clients warn me that my profile is coming up saying I don't catsit, this is not true I'm happy/enjoy doing it** Love cats. Always have since I was a kid. Look after others' furry ones because finding competent cover can be wretched. I've had ones of my own and would probably have some if I lived in a bigger place. Happy to help with other animals too - have looked after dogs, parrots, lizards, snakes, spiders, rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, rats and even piranha. I would include goldfish too but never actually looked after them, have fed tropical fish though while setting up the auto feeder for a cat I was looking after though ;)

About: I have owned cats for many years and have truly loved every moment spent with them. Their unique personalities and playful nature bring so much joy to my life. While my experience with dogs is smaller, I have always known dogs and cherish the time I spend with them. I enjoy taking dogs for walks, exploring the outdoors, and ensuring they get the exercise they need. Each pet has a special place in my heart, and I am dedicated to providing them with the love and care they deserve. Caring for animals is not just a job for me; it’s my passion. As a part-time worker, my schedule varies each week, making it essential for you to give me notice when you need pet sitting. I understand how important it is to have reliable care for your furry friends, and I'll always strive to be flexible to accommodate your needs. Owning my own car allows me to travel easily to your location, ensuring I can fit you in, no matter where you are. Whether it's for a few hours or a longer stay, I’m dedicated to providing the best care for your pets while seamlessly integrating into my weekly routine. I don’t offer own home sitting services. I value safety inside your home and will follow all your instructions to how you keep your home safe for your animals.

I currently study at Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama, so am fully available on weekends or lunchtime/ evenings throughout the week! Out of term time I am fully available.

About: Hello - Kris and I both come from dog loving families and have strong experience and bonds with many wonderful pups. Sometimes we have to travel for work, which makes it impossible for us to have a dog of our own right now, so we would love the opportunity to care for your dog in our cwtchy flat. We both work for ourselves so can alter our schedule around when care is needed. We both have years of caring for dogs, and love going to the beach with pups especially (if you have an ocean loving friend). We like lots of walks and live opposite parks and rivers so can offer outside and inside adventures and care. I am a self employed artist, and Kris works in the film industry. Some of my work can be done from home, but I also have a studio less than five minutes from the house that is set up to have dog(s) in with me for the day - or I am able to pop home every couple of hours from the studio to check in, have a quick walk and a bathroom break. Kris may sometimes be away for work but in between shoots, he is home and available for weeks at a time. We are both able to adapt our schedule to the needs of whatever animal is staying with us. We have a first floor flat with plenty of lovely windows and natural light, and plenty of couches for the pooch to snuggle up on. We would stay in on the evenings we are dog sitting, or take the pup with us on any adventures we may have, and they would of course never be alone for long periods. Although we have no outdoor areas, we are lucky to live right by the river and park and look forward to many walks. We are both from families that have relied heavily on pet sitters in the past and know how crucial trust is in this relationship and would do everything in our power to put your mind at ease before sitting or helping out in anyway.

Lauren made sure that Maldwyn was looked after and allowed his comfort break in the garden. The original plan was for a walk however given the weather that day I suggested to drop in on him instead and make sure his needs were met and he was comfortable before leaving him. Can't ask for better.

About: I've had animals all my life. My folks always had dogs when growing up from Great Danes to Dalmatians. They also had pedigree Persians cats, which they bred. So I've helped our cats with their deliveries. Since i lived in my own house. I had 2 cats who lived until they were 18 &1/2, Charlie & 19 &1/2 Chewy, my boys were 6 weeks old when we got them. I'm having a break from getting anymore pets for now. I have had my friends dog Luna come to stay for a night or a few days. Luna is a samoyed breed, like a husky but wider. She's all white & built like a tank 😊 She's really excited for everything & everything & loves spending time at my house. I have a large garden with grass & I have a house, with a front concrete drive. I live around the corner from Jubilee Park, which is great to let dogs off the lead when empty. I leave my back door open so animals can come & go into the garden. Luna loves it she currently lives in a flat & doesn't have a garden. When she comes to mine she has more space & free run of my garden. So that's why I'm calling my service a doggie spa day, they will have a garden, walks, play, space, attention, as well as the normal food & water....edit I moved to a ground-floor flat with a patio garden in October 2025. You are welcome to visit my flat to view or I can send a video of the garden. Ask any questions, if you & your dog are happy then we'll get along great, thanks Diane 😊 As I'm at home daily except Friday and Saturday. I'll leave my back door open to my garden. My garden has grass and plants around the borders. Your pet can come and go as they want. Once I've done some work, I'll take a break and take your dog out to Jubilee park, which is around the corner. We'll have an hour or so depending on the weather in the park. Then we'll come back the slow way via capital retail park and maybe get a hot chocolate from Costa. Then we'll come home and I'll open the back door to my garden again. Then I'll do more work, while your dog shouts at the cats next-door 🤣 When we go out to the park we'll play and if no other animals I'll let your dog off the lead. We'll play catch & depending on the size of your dog will depend on how long we stay out. My friends dog Luna is a samoyed, a Siberian working dog, she's always happy & excitable. You can take her out for hours & she never tires but she loves my garden & shouting at the cats next-door I'll care for your pets like my own. My cats lived until they were 18 &1/2 Charlie & 19 &1/2 Chewy. I had them since they were 6 weeks old. It's heartbreaking to lose them. I would treat your animals like my own with love, kindness& a bit of strictness. I trained my cats that when they had fights that got rougher I would clap my hands loudly & they'd separate & both run off together 🤣. If you have a way to treat or disapline them I will do that. I'm there to make sure your animals are safe, happy & well loved while you are away. I'll send you video & photo updates daily if you want. I know what it's like to go away & leave your pets with someone. I want to help you have a good relaxing holiday and your animals to be happy & carefree while you're gone. When my friend comes to pick up Luna, she was in 2 minds whether to go 🤣. Her owner opened the back door to the car & called her but she stayed next to me 😊 I told her I'd see her soon & go, then she did. I'm just happy she enjoyed herself with me. I hope your animals will feel the same way when I take them into my home or I come to yours.

About: Animals have always been a massive part of my life. I currently have two cats and grew up with both cats and dogs, so I’m very comfortable caring for pets with different personalities and needs. I’m reliable, patient, and genuinely love spending time with animals, whether that’s playtime, feeding, walks, or just giving them attention and company !! I work from home flexibly, so can work from any location and can always pop out to sit and play with pets! I have two cats of my own so I am used to the routine. I can use your routine so your pet is the most comfortable when being looked after. Please provide me with instruction on how you would like things done or leave it up to me!

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have hands-on experience with breeds ranging from Rottweilers and Dogue de Bordeaux to Labradors and Retrievers. Because of this, I’m comfortable handling large, strong, energetic dogs as well as more relaxed family pets. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine and needs, and I always take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe and cared for while their owners are away. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the sofa or simply sticking to their normal routine, I’m happy to adapt to what makes them happiest. I treat every dog as if they were my own and will keep you updated with regular messages and photos so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands. I work from home on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, which gives me great flexibility for morning and evening walks, as well as drop-in visits during my breaks. This means your dog won’t be left waiting around and can enjoy consistent attention throughout the day. I’m also fully available on weekends, so I have plenty of time for longer walks, park trips, play sessions, and lots of one-to-one attention. I always try to be as flexible as possible and am happy to discuss specific timing needs to keep your pet’s routine consistent and stress-free. Note: I work in the office Tuesday and Thursday Your pet’s safety, comfort, and wellbeing will always be my top priority. When caring for pets in their own home, I make every effort to maintain their usual routine, including feeding times, walks, playtime, medication (if required), and plenty of affection. I understand that many pets feel happiest in familiar surroundings, so I aim to provide calm, consistent care while you’re away. As a writer working from home, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to spend plenty of time with the pets in my care, ensuring they receive lots of attention, companionship, and supervision throughout the day. Having owned dogs all my life, including large breeds such as Rottweilers and Dogue de Bordeaux, I’m confident handling dogs of different sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. I always take the time to understand each pet’s individual needs, personality, and any instructions provided by their owner. I’ll also keep you updated with regular messages and photos, so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: I’ve taken care of pets of every kind since I was a kid. Neighbours, friends and family have relied on me to train, walk, feed and bathe their pets! In addition to always having pets around the house, dogs, cats, rabbits, rodents, reptiles, birds and others! I have experience with both young pets and seniors and can offer excellent care and service for all kind of breeds. My schedule is pretty flexible, I'm available for different services every day. I can spend as much time as needed with your pet as I work remotely and do not have a fixed working schedule. I can look after your pet based on their need, happy to feed, play, bathe, walk, train/take to training, paint, dance together, read them a bedtime story or whatever else makes them happy!

Jake was fantastic with my anxious husky. My dog’s not great at meeting new people but was very relaxed with him! Jake met me for a meet and greet at short notice and has taken on all my dog’s walking needs whilst I’m away this month. He has provided all the info and pictures from their walks also which has been lovely. I’m happily using Jake’s walking services going forward and recommend him fully :)

FAQs for Dog Walking - Cardiff

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Cardiff on Rover is £17.25 per walk (as of June 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of June 2026, there are 2,617 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Cardiff. Enter your postcode to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-to-one walking services.

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Cardiff. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighbourhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poo and pee breaks, and distance travelled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Cardiff.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.

Yes, Rover is well-suited for last-minute bookings for Dog Walking. With 2,617 Walkers in Cardiff, 44% respond to messages in under 5 minutes.

Many sitters keep their calendars updated in real time and you can message multiple sitters simultaneously to find the fastest available match. If you need care in the next 24 hours, you can look for sitters with a 'calendar last updated' notice on their profiles.
