Dog Walking in Cardiff

About: I have always had a pet dog growing up, and owned a Patterdale Terrier called Esme, who very sadly passed away in April 2019 at the grand old age of 16 (we miss her dearly). We had her for 11 years and she was very much a beloved member of our family. She absolutely loved affection and walks and we enjoyed socialising her with our families pets. My son lives with me half of the week and his dad the other half of the week, so pls bear this in mind when requesting a booking and ensure that your dog is good with kids. I always recommend a meet and greet before a request is placed, preferably somewhere neutral. We also own a guinea pig who is housed indoors. Since mid April 2021 we started fostering and have since adopted a gorgeous Staffie called Roxy from Cardiff Dogs Home. She is an absolute dream with such a lovely temperament, and is excellent with kids and friendly with other dogs. Please also bear this in mind when requesting a booking. I work from home two days a week and am in the office two days a week (Fridays are my non working day). I am situated close to Roath Park and Waterloo Gardens. We also like to visit parks further afield and beaches, and will occasionally get out and about in the car on weekends. Any dog under our care will be treated as if they were our own! We love animals in this household and can guarantee your beloved pooch will go home very happy :-) As I work part time and half the time at home, I’ll be able to ensure your dog is well looked after and given all of the exercise and love they need. We usually walk Roxy either twice a day if they’re shorter walks, or one longer walk. I always ensure dogs are kept on the lead at all times when getting ready to leave the house for walks. Due to a separation, I’ve recently moved to an apartment but there is a large green area at the front of the property which my dog regularly frequents for walks and to do her business.

“Ashley is lovely and Scrumpy ( our Sprocker) was well looked after and thoroughly enjoyed his walk and play with his new friend Ashley ! Would not hesitate in recommending Ashley and will be asking him to look after scrumpy again soon !”

“Mark has walked my 11mth old puppy this week.He has helped her to settle in to being left and I have found her happy and content when I get home. He has kept me up to date on all the walks, routes, moments of interest. He has uploaded photos and videos which have given me great confidence in him . I would highly recommend him and will be using him on a regular basis. Trust worthy and caring. I can't ask for more.”

“Ella was amazing. She turned up on time, was amazing with Sam and was brilliant. Would thoroughly recommend! ☺️”

“What Can I say other than the previous reviews are so true....Lauren is so kind and caring you can tell from the moment she responds to your enquiry,then when you meet heson this is confirmed by the way ur pet is and her onal”

“Bear very content and I was kept well informed. Really good service thanks”

“Meg has been really great at helping me out! She responded quickly and has been really flexible with times. Her experience with working breeds meant she understands his love for birds and squirrels! Apollo has come back a happy boy and even got to have a play date with her dog which was great for his socialisation.”

“Georgie had two lovely long walks with Elizabeth and obviously bonded well with her straight away. A highly recommended walker, your pup will be in safe hands 😊”

“Such a nice person! Brilliant with my little Jack RUssell. Will be rebooking as soon as she is back from her holidays ❤️”

“I cannot recommend Lauren highly enough! She is incredibly reliable and always happy to take my dog(s) at short notice, for as long as I need. It’s clear how much the dogs love her – they’re always excited to see her and often a little sad to return home! I can tell they are well walked and cared for, and it gives me complete peace of mind knowing they’re with someone who truly cares. With Lauren, I can fully relax, confident that my dogs are in the best possible hands.”

“Morgan was so good to my dogs. She met us at our flat a few days before the walk so our dogs could get use to her, she was on time and took the best pictures. Will definitely look to her again in the future”

“Amazing, repeated customer here, who out 2 year old GSD absolutely loves. Book with complete confidence!”

“Chloe is probably Peach’s favourite human (and ours too at this point). She is super professional and has put time and effort into building a strong relationship with P. She picks her up and takes her on adventures which Peach loves (as we can see from all the photos and videos) and is continually helping Peach learn more about following commands. We would definitely recommend Chloe to any dog owner who is looking for a responsible, dog obsessed dog walker ☺️”

“Jack did a great job taking care of Aslan. He kept me updated showing how well Aslan was being cared for. I highly recommend Jack for anyone in need of a reliable dog sitter. I'll definitely use his services again!”

“Emily is a true animal lover, with a huge love and passion for dogs and cats. Emily has always been attentive, reliable and caring when looking after my beloved dog Mabel and my two cats. Emily is a competent dog walker who is confident when out walking with my Hungarian Viszla! I would recommend Emily everytime.”

“Mia has been great with our Labrador Cooper! We get lots of updates when we he’s with her and we never have to worry whether he’s having a good time- he is!”

“Siena took care of my working cocker spaniel, Gunner, numerous times over the last year. He is very energetic and playful and Siena gave him lots of attention that he needs, especially as a puppy. Siena is very good with dogs and a lovely person in general.”

About: ✨Passionate and Experienced: I’ve always had a deep love for animals. I spent a lot of time caring for my grandfather’s two dogs, feeding them and making sure they were happy and healthy. During my time working at a private café, I also helped my boss care for two dogs and three cats, handling their daily meals, activities, and walks. This hands-on experience has taught me so much about animal care. I’ve even looked after some stray dogs near my home, offering them comfort and companionship. These experiences have made me realize that each pet has its own unique personality and needs, and my goal is always to make them feel safe and happy. ✨Natural Affinity: Animals of all kinds have always come naturally to me—not just dogs and cats, but also rabbits, ducklings , hamsters, turtles, and so on.I treat them as true friends and companions, with patience and genuine care. ✨Patient and Genuine: One of my most memorable experiences was with a Corgi named Puff, whom I cared for regularly. His owner, concerned he might run off but unable to find the time to care for him properly, had kept him tied up in the backyard, which made him quite restless. I took him out to the park every day, bought him toys, and taught him how to play. Over time, he became much more cheerful and confident, even initiating interactions on his own. Seeing Puff’s transformation was truly rewarding. ✨Attentive and Responsible: Before caring for different breeds, I make a point of researching their specific needs, from diet and exercise to health considerations, so I can give them the best possible care. For example, I know that smaller dogs need extra warmth in winter, while larger dogs benefit from ample exercise space. I believe every animal is unique, and I strive to cater to their individual needs. ✨Energetic and Dedicated: I have plenty of energy and rarely get tired, so I can keep up with energetic dogs during playtime or walks, ensuring they get enough exercise and enjoyment. 🫡Reassurance: When caring for pets, I will keep owners updated with regular photos and short videos if they need , so they can feel connected to their pets even while away. For me, this is more than just a job—it’s a joyful journey of building a meaningful bond with each little life I care for! 🥹❤️ ⏰ Right now, I don’t have any other work commitments, so my schedule is very open and flexible. I’m usually available from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day to care for pets. So I can easily adjust to each pet’s routine, giving them the attention they need at the times that suit them best 🐶 Currently, I’m focused on offering dog walking and pet care in the owner’s home. For Dog Walking 🌳🦮 I will tailor outing based on the dog’s age, energy level, and personality, choosing safe, pet-friendly spots like local parks or green spaces. For younger or less active dogs, I opt for shorter, slower-paced routes, while more energetic dogs get longer walks to help them burn off energy. For Drop-In Visits 🏠🐕🐱 I‘ll make sure to follow the owner’s advice to keep the pet’s usual routine—whether it’s feeding, playtime, or rest. For pets with special needs, like puppies, senior dogs, or those with health concerns, I can adjust the activities according to the owner’s guidance to make sure they’re comfortable and safe. 📲I also keep in touch with owners regularly, sending photos or short videos after each visit so they can feel connected and know their pet is doing well 🐶😸

“I have two dogs, two cats, two Guinea pigs and a tortoise - quite a houseful! I have chronic health problems and my pets are great company when I’m stuck at home. But I can’t always care for all their practical needs and that’s where Meg has been a life saver. I can rely on her to walk the dogs, feed all the animals, and change the Guinea pig and tortoise bedding without me needing to ask. She adores animals and I know she will miss my animals and they will miss het now she’s at university. She will be an be asset to pet owners in her new area.”

“Izzy was a delightful dog sitter, she looked after my three dachshunds and they cannot spend enought time with her! Will be getting her back to look after the 3 dogs again next year, she really went above and beyond.”
