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’m a reliable and caring pet sitter who loves spending time with animals of all kinds. I’m patient, attentive, and make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and happy while their owner is away. I can help with feeding, walking, playtime, cleaning up after pets, giving lots of attention, and following any special routines or instructions. I understand how important pets are to families, and I’ll care for them as if they were my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’ve always grown up around animals and enjoy spending time with them. I’m available most weekdays and weekends for walks, feeding, playtime, check-ins, and overnight care when needed. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my priority. I’m calm, patient, and attentive to each pet’s needs and personality. I’ll make sure they have plenty of attention, exercise, fresh water, and a clean environment at all times. I’m also happy to follow any specific instructions, routines, or care requirements to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and well looked after.
“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: 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!

I am highly punctual and can easily adapt to your preferred routine, whether you need a morning stroll or an afternoon check-in. Safety is my top priority. During drop-in visits, I strictly follow all owner instructions regarding feeding and home security. When walking dogs, I always keep them securely on a leash, avoid unsafe areas, and stay fully focused on their well-being at all times.
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 I can. All I need now is a dog to take with me! 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 I’ll see what I can do!

About: Shwmae, Alicia here! I am a highly experienced pet sitter & dog walker with 10+ years of cat ownership and expansive pet-care experience, including looking after dogs, cats, sheep, chickens and even some Icelandic horses! I have cared for many amazing pets across the UK, Ireland, France and Germany, which has been an incredible way to travel the world, connect with new people and enjoy spending time around the most wonderful creatures! I specialize in supporting anxious and reactive dogs — including those who've experienced trauma. I understand that these pups need more than just a walk. They need patience, consistency, and someone who can read their body language and respect their boundaries. Working for a local social enterprise that promotes accessible cycling has given me strong community values, excellent local knowledge, and a reliable, active lifestyle. I travel by bike whenever possible, allowing me to provide punctual, eco-conscious care for your pets. Back in Ireland I have four darling cats, all with differing personalities and needs, so I am expert in gauging pet behaviour and giving care accordingly. Under my high-standard supervision, I assure to always: -Feed pets adhering to your specific measurements, dietary requirements and allergies -Constantly provide fresh drinking water and refill frequently -Give all medicine as prescribed -Maintain all litter boxes -Give lots of love, attention and time to your pet (in a way that suits your pet best) NB - I would love to meet you (and your pets) before sitting - just to ensure contentment and clarity between all parties. Pop me a message with any queries! I’m currently returning to university to complete a part-time Master’s degree over the next two years, which gives me plenty of flexibility to provide attentive, reliable care for your furry family member! At the moment, I’m completely available on Sundays and Mondays, as well as every evening during the week. I also start work at 11:00 am most weekdays, making morning walks and drop-in visits easy to accommodate. I’m hoping to reduce my working hours further in the near future, allowing me even more availability for study and pet care. I live in a spacious, pet-friendly apartment with access to a fantastic private terrace featuring a large grassy area on the rooftop. This provides a safe and convenient outdoor space where your dog can stretch their legs or your cat can enjoy some fresh air (if they're used to being outdoors and with your permission). Your pet will have plenty of space to relax, play, and feel right at home during their stay. Your pet's safety, happiness, and routine are my absolute top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and secure environment where pets can feel comfortable and relaxed. I always follow the owner's care instructions, including feeding schedules, medication (if required), exercise, and any specific routines or preferences. I keep fresh water available at all times, supervise pets closely, and ensure they are never left in unsafe situations. During walks, I use secure leads and stay alert to the surroundings. If I'm caring for pets in your home, I will respect your property, always keep everything tidy, and provide regular photo and message updates - just so you can have peace of mind while you're away. ** I treat every pet as if they were my own, giving them plenty of attention, affection, and care (in a way that suits them best).
“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.”

“Morwenna was absolutely wonderful with our dog, very knowledgeable and caring. Our dog loved her immediately and was happy and comfortable around her from the start. We felt completely at ease knowing our dog was in good hands and would happily recommend Morwenna to others.”

About: We look after either dogs or cats. We live in the city centre and both work from home. There is a gated area at the back of the apartment for your pup’s toilet breaks as required, but we live 5 minutes away from Bute Park and we love going for long walks. We have both grown up around dogs, from gentle giant dobermans to mini Yorkshire terriers. As we both work from home we can both take care of pets twenty four seven, we will take them for walks and so they will never be left at home alone. We are very flexible and can accommodate your pet’s needs. The flat is spacious and there is room for a crate/bed if required. We will make sure to feed them as per their regular schedule.
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'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 ;)
“Easy to arrange a walk with Rupert. He made sure Maldwyn had a good walk around the park and made sure he had his dinner afterwards. Updated me with photos from his walks too. Thank you so much ☺️”


About: I work from home in Pontcanna, Cardiff in a flexible working environment, after just losing my own dog I’m looking to spend some time with some furry friends before we’re ready to own our own again 💓 I am active and enjoy long walks (especially to get away from the desk) and available to pet sit overnight or for a few hours. I am able to travel via car also to fun areas to walk for the dogs, even getting muddy and wet! Happy to arrange meets prior to bookings so you can get to know me :) I love all pets but have most experience with dogs of all sizes. I have had a dog my whole life, I have recently lost a 13 year old dog of my own who I cared for. Before that, I grew up with a Labrador where my love of big lovey dogs started. I frequently dog sit for family who have an elderly dog needing medications so in-depth experience with this. Also dog sit for a friend with two hyper labs (one puppy) and love playing with these too! I enjoy their energy, and helping to dispel it with games and walks. I work from home in a flexible environment so available for morning, lunch or evening walking or check ins :) I can also drive to locations for ease! I had experience walking all sizes of dogs! I have administered medicines to elderly dogs, cared for dogs with food allergies and ensured a safe environment.
About: I have owned and looked after many animals in my life. My son and myself do our best to provide the best care for your pets. There is nothing I enjoy more than going for long walks with dogs and my son. We play fetch, go to the river and enjoy cuddles on bed. I rarely leave dogs alone, they are usually always with me and my son, no matter what we do. My son always makes sure dogs are well entertained and can play fetch for hours.

Dog owners share their Rover experiences – Cardiff
I honestly couldn’t recommend Charlie enough! He’s absolutely fantastic with my little Gigi, and it’s such a lovely feeling knowing she’s in such safe and caring hands. You can tell he genuinely loves what he does and really cares about the dogs he looks after. He’s reliable, trustworthy and always goes above and beyond. Gigi absolutely adores him, which says it all! In the past she has been reluctant to leave sometimes but not with Charlie she’s out the door 🐾❤️ If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog like their own, Charlie is your man! Couldn’t ask for a better dog walker. Highly recommend!

Ella is wonderful; she’s kind, responsible, and clearly loves dogs. She’s been such a lifesaver helping with walks for my dog Lucy this summer. Lucy can be a handful, and Ella has been incredibly patient and great with her. Lucy absolutely loves her! I’d highly recommend Ella to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their dog.

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 :)

Morwenna was absolutely wonderful with our dog, very knowledgeable and caring. Our dog loved her immediately and was happy and comfortable around her from the start. We felt completely at ease knowing our dog was in good hands and would happily recommend Morwenna to others.

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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Walking in Cardiff is £17 per walk as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between £12 and £26 per walk.
On Rover, Walkers set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 2,732 Walkers on Rover offering Dog Walking across the city of Cardiff. About 80% typically respond to requests within 60 minutes.
Enter your address and booking dates to see which sitters are available near you. You can also message multiple sitters to improve your chances of finding the right care.
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 bookings, your dog walker can send a Rover Card with details about your dog’s walk. Rover Cards require at least one photo and may include , the total walk time and distance, and any pee or poo breaks recorded by the walker.
The route map lets you review where your dog was walked in Cardiff after the booking. It is not live GPS tracking.
Have specific details you would like included? Message your dog walker in the app before the walk begins.
You can find dog walkers on Rover who have experience of walking dogs across a wide range of breeds, sizes and temperaments. Each walker's experience and the dogs they're comfortable handling will vary.
When searching for a walker, use the dog-size filter and select either 18–45 kg or 45+ kg. Then review walker profiles and verified reviews for experience with dogs of a similar size, strength, temperament, and energy level.
Before booking, tell the walker your dog’s breed and weight, how they walk on a lead, their usual pace and commands, any triggers, and how they react to other dogs, people and traffic. Explain any walking equipment or handling instructions the walker will need to follow.
Complete your dog's profile and arrange a Meet & Greet before the first walk. These steps can help you and the walker confirm that they're a good match for your dog.
Every walker must complete an identity verification process before listing their services on Rover. This process checks that the sitter’s identity matches their provided documents.
Identity verification doesn't assess a sitter’s experience or suitability for your pet. To see if a sitter is the right fit, you can review each sitter's profile for ratings, verified reviews, repeat pet owner information and care style. We also recommend arranging a Meet & Greet to discuss your pet’s needs and make sure the walker is the right fit before booking.
For more details, visit our Trust & Safety page.
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 , which provides up to £25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who've never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover, but you're welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you've previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you're booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your walker interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you'll have a chance to go through your pet's routine, medical needs and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. A Meet & Greet is a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
