Couldn't recommend her more!”

Thanks so much 🫶🏽”

About: I have a lifetime of experience caring for dogs. I have a chilled, friendly 7yr old pomsky who I have raised since she was a puppy and we both love having doggy visitors stay over. My house is fully fenced in and situated in a cul-de-sac away from Cardiffs busy streets yet its a stones throw away from Roath park. I'm experienced with caring for dogs of all ages with any need. Im a full time Artist (AbstractAkerele) working from home looking for some extra doggy company. I have a friendly 7yr old Pomsky so my house is already very canine orientated. A typical day for us usually consists of regular walks, usually around Roath park but on the weekends we like to go further a field. Due to my unique line of work I can fit my schedule to your dogs needs. I will care for your pets to their specifications. The ground floor of my house is open plan with hard flooring. Our garden is large and fully fenced in front and back. Dogs are allowed on the furniture.

“Joanna kindly agreed to have our dog for the day at very short notice. He as such a great day. Joanna took him on long walks and spent time playing annd exploring the garden and having cuddles with him. Joanna’s dog also got on great with our dog and it was lovely seeing photos of them having a siesta together. We had plenty of updates and photos throughout the day which was very lovely. I would not hesitate to ask Joanna to look after our boy again.”


“Jasper loves going to Sucheta and Chikoo (don’t know your husbands name, sorry)! Sucheta is loving and caring towards Jasper she sends me lots of updates throughout the day including photographs and videos. Sucheta also takes the time to teach Jasper tricks and she taken the time to get to know his personality, and has even made him homemade treats! I feel very lucky and grateful to have found such caring trustworthy dog sitters.”


About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs for 12 years, helping with my parents’ pet sitting business. I am great with puppies, seniors, and all personalities! I am currently a biomedicine student with most nights and days off unless I am scheduled to be in the lab! All days are workable! I follow each pet’s routine with love and attention-walks, play, feeding, meds if needed- ensuring they feel safe, happy, and right at home with me.

About: I have been caring for my dog ever since he was a puppy, despite getting him when I was 10, and I have also babysat many other dogs. I think the most important thing I’ve learnt is that every dog is different and they have their own personality, but each dog deserves attention and love and care, they are truly amazing creatures. I’m currently a student, and so am available at various points throughout the day, between lectures, and after or even before university, and I am also available all throughout the weekend. While I’m at uni I miss my dog a lot in times I can’t see him, and so I will treat yours with as much respect and love as I would my own. Ensuring dog safety is vital and , most importantly, this depends on what each dog needs, for example some dogs are prone to chewing and biting various objects around the house at which point it’s important to lift any electrical cables of conceal them to keep your pet safe, other dogs may only require their favourite toy and a full water bowl, more wary dogs may feel safer with the possibility of a dog crate, the small space often serving as comfort to them. I go about learning their needs by observing each dog and letting them show me their needs via playtime and gaining their trust.

“Darcy recently had her first stay with Mack and I'm sure it won't be her last :-). Mack was great with her, and us, throughout her stay with great communication and flexibility re drop off and collection. He also went out of his way to meet Darcy before her stay, both out in the park and gave us a chance to visit him at home. Darcy got plenty of exercise and seemed to have a great day, I would have no hesitation in recommending Mack's services. Thanks Mack :-)”
