“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.”

“Melissa was great! She walked our dog over the week and kept me up to date with photos, and our dog was very happy to see her each day! We also had a great meet beforehand which made me feel happy and comfortable.”


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
“Abigail was great! She turned up on time and kept us informed during the dog walk. Our dog Obi had a great time and really enjoyed the walk. Would definitely recommend Abigail and will be booking with her again!”


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!
“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!”


“Sophia was just great. Personable, excellent communication and very reliable dog walker, with result being a well exercised & happy spaniel on the days he went out on a walk with Sophia. Lovely photos of his outings too. Many thanks!”

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.
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.

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!

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: 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 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.
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 helped my neighbor taking care of my neighbor's dog at the age of 12. And also have the experience of taking care of cats for a week while my friend traveled abroad. I am having a part-time job now and be available to take care of your pets from early morning till late afternoon throughout the week. When I was helping my friend taking care her cats, I would go through their daily schedule like when to have food and what their favorite activities are. I would also send short messages to owner everyday about how the pets are doing everyday.
About: I’ve been looking after family and friends pets for years now and it’s something I enjoy not only because I’m obsessed with animals, but it helps me get out and about and be more active. I also have cats at home so it’s the perfect way for me to get my dog fix and have lots of doggo cuddles. I’m reliable, friendly and will always take extra care of your pets. I can do walks and drop ins on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, and dog/cat sit in their owners home on weekend (subject to personal plans). I will always follow owners instructions about the pets routine. I will always feed/walk/put the pets to bed when required and give lots of cuddles!
Cardiff dog owners share their Rover experiences
We just had a successful first walk/meet-and-greet with Elinor and couldn't be happier. She was very patient with Loki, who is a nervous dog, and she clearly knows how to build trust at a dog's own pace. Great communication and professional—we’re looking forward to having her stay over for his future sits

Sevval has been absolutely amazing with Winston. I have booked her a number of times now and each time she is brilliant. I receive regular updates and know that Winston is well cared for. Winston has been under the weather with an eye ulcer for a number of months now and Sevval has gone above and beyond to look after him. I would 100% recommend her and would book her again.

David is understanding and knowledgable of dogs and has provided a great service for my Frenchie, Rocco. Rocco can be slightly unpredictable but David provided the reassurance I needed for him to handle him and Rocco has loved the walks they have done together. Highly recommended.
