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.

About: I have grown up with dogs most of my life and have looked after dogs from the puppy stage all the way to the elderly. I used to work at a Kennels so I am well versed in different dog breeds and their quirky traits! I have a flexible work schedule so I can meet around your pet’s needs. I am free weekdays and weekends so I can do multiple daily/weekly visits if needed! When looking after your pet, I would make sure to find out what they enjoy to do, whether that be playing in the garden or just a cuddle! I care a lot about developing trust with your pet, and do this at their pace. I’m also keen to discuss the personality and needs of your pet in order to look after them in the best way possible.

About: I have grown up around dogs my entire life and have always been part of a dog-loving family. My parents currently have four dogs, and I have experience caring for dogs of different ages, personalities and needs, including helping to raise puppies through several litters. Having grown up with dogs, I understand that every dog is unique and needs an approach tailored to their temperament, routine and comfort level. I’m confident handling energetic dogs, young puppies learning new skills, and dogs who need extra patience and care. I’m also a very active person and love being outdoors, so long walks, exploring new places and keeping dogs happystimulated is something I genuinely enjoy. My experience with multiple dogs and my active lifestyle mean I can provide not just a walk, but a fun and enriching experience for your dog. I currently work at Cardiff University, and during the summer months I have a flexible schedule while students are away. This gives me plenty of availability during the day for walks, drop-ins and spending quality time with your dog. I’m an active person and naturally enjoy being outdoors, so walking and caring for dogs fits perfectly into my routine. I’m happy to work around your dog’s usual schedule depending on whether that’s an easy morning stroll, a big hike or just a lot a cuddles. I’m happy to provide care in your home, where your dog can stay comfortable in their own familiar environment and routine. I’ll always prioritise your dog’s safety and wellbeing, following your instructions around walks, feeding, routines and any individual needs. Having grown up with dogs, I understand how important patience, trust and consistency are when caring for someone’s pet.

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: 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'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: Animals have always been an important part of my life, and I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. I have experience caring for both cats and rabbits, including feeding, cleaning, administering basic care, and providing plenty of attention and enrichment. I also have experience looking after pets in their own homes, ensuring they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I’m patient, dependable, and committed to following your pet’s routine as closely as possible. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and reserved, or a senior who needs a gentler approach, I’ll make sure they receive the care and attention they deserve. I understand how important regular updates are, so I’ll always keep you informed with photos and messages for complete peace of mind. My goal is simple: to make your pet feel happy, secure, and loved while you’re away, so you can travel knowing they’re in safe hands. I have a flexible work schedule, which allows me to adapt to your pet’s needs whenever possible. Whether you need regular visits, weekend care, or last-minute bookings, I’ll do my best to accommodate your schedule. I understand that plans can change, and I’m happy to be flexible when needed to ensure your pet receives reliable, consistent care. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special requirements so they can feel as relaxed as possible while you’re away. In your home, I’ll treat both your pet and your property with the utmost respect, following your instructions carefully and maintaining your pet’s normal routine. I’ll also provide regular updates and photos, so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in safe and caring hands.

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: 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!

About: I’ve had dogs for over 20 years, mainly greyhounds, and grew up with Jack Russells, so caring for dogs has always been a big part of my life. I have looked after friends and family's dogs and cats, and regularly trust me to walk, feed, and look after their pets, whether that’s for daily care, overnight stays, or longer periods in both my home and theirs. I genuinely love animals and focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I’m experienced in giving dogs the right balance of exercise, attention, and calm time, depending on their individual needs—whether that’s energetic walks or a more relaxed pace for older dogs. I’m reliable, and both my partner and I are trustworthy, and treat every dog as if they were or own, ensuring they feel loved and well cared for while you’re away. I work full time from home Mon-Fri and usually work one day at the office but this can be very flexible. I often work from home 5 days a week or change my days according to my calendar and pet sitting arrangements. I have an eclosed fenced garden with no back access, I have a front gate and friendly neighbours. I have a very animal friendly home and have looked after dogs of most ages, they are treated as if they are home from home, with parks nearby.

About: With over 15 years of experience caring for dogs, I treat every pet as if they were part of my own family. Growing up with four dogs and now raising my own Biewer Terrier, Chickoo, I’ve developed a genuine understanding of dogs of all ages, breeds, and personalities. As a doctoral researcher with a healthcare background, I bring a calm, attentive, and detail-oriented approach to pet care. My husband and I work from home, so your pet receives plenty of companionship, supervision, and affection throughout the day. I have experience with: # Puppy care, including basic training, recall, and toilet training. # Senior dog care, including administering oral medications and supporting dogs with additional care needs. # Basic wound care and dressing changes when required. # Mental enrichment and stimulating games for high-energy dogs. # Bathing and blow-drying. I always follow your dog’s usual routine as closely as possible to help them feel relaxed and secure. You’ll also receive regular photo and video updates throughout their stay, so you can enjoy complete peace of mind while you’re away. I’m currently doing research so I spend most the time at home and cherry on the top, even if I go out for few hours my husband is always home to look after your buddy. Note: Day cares are only cover 8-10 hours i.e drop off 7-9am and pickup between 4-6pm anything after that will be considered as boarding. For daycares, I can provide a maximum of one walk per day, with plenty of playtime, enrichment, and companionship for the rest of the day. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, their safety, comfort, and happiness are always my highest priorities. Before every booking, I take the time to understand each pet’s individual routine, personality, medical needs, feeding schedule, exercise requirements, and any behavioural quirks, so I can provide care that’s tailored specifically to them. In my home: * Pets are fitted with an AirTag (with the owner’s permission) while in my care for added peace of mind. * Fresh drinking water is always available, and food and water bowls are cleaned after every meal. * Care is adapted to each pet’s individual needs and routine. * My enclosed, secure garden allows for safe, supervised outdoor time. * Pets are never left unattended in the garden or left home alone. * They are monitored 24/7 using pet cameras, and I provide constant supervision and companionship. Throughout every stay, I provide regular photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your pet is safe, loved, and receiving the highest standard of care. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to create a calm, happy, and trusting environment wherever they are.

About: I lived with dogs (labs and spaniels) for most of my childhood and was always taught how to train them, how to walk them, and the other essentials of pet care. I currently work from home and have a flexible work pattern so can regularly take pups for toilet breaks/walks. I regularly go on long walks when we can. All I need now is a dog to take with us! Dogs will be given as much or as little attention as needed during the day, able to roam as they please. I’m happy to talk to owners about any specific requirements and we’ll see what we can do!

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: 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.

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 July 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 July 2026, there are 2,634 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.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes dedicated customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement programme for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to £25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Every walker on Rover must pass an identity verification before they can list their services. An identity verification confirms that the sitter is who they say they are based on their documents.

Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to £25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit our Trust & Safety page .

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 2,634 Walkers in Cardiff, 45% 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.
