“So kind, caring and welcoming. Our dog loved being with Rachel who clearly has such a good understanding of dogs. Couldn’t have asked for more and I’m sure our pup will be returning!”
“I booked Winston in with Danah last minute for 2 days of day care. Winston had a lovely time. Danah was brilliant with providing updates and also administered eyedrops for me in the day which was really helpful. I would recommend her and would happily book Winston in with her again.”
“I’ve been to several different dog-sitters over the years, and you can really tell who is genuinely passionate about what they do. Kincso has been absolutely wonderful. She kindly accommodated my early drop-off times, walked Adis regularly, kept me consistently updated, and sent fantastic photos that truly reassured me that Adis was happy and well cared for. Most importantly, she provided exceptional senior care for my little one. I couldn’t be more grateful and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her.”
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.

“Jackson was amazing and super professional. Cared for Milli really well and left messages updating us. Defenitely recommend his services and we will be going back to Jackson again 😊”
About: Growing up, my family had both Border Collies and German Shepherds, so I have a lot of experience with energetic and intelligent breeds. I started dogsitting for my neighbours when I was 12, and I've continued to provide reliable care for dogs throughout my time at university. I'm comfortable handling dogs of various sizes and temperaments, ensuring they get plenty of exercise, playtime, and affection. Your dog will be in safe and loving hands with me. I’m currently in final year at university so I have a lot of flexibility within my schedule and the ability to work from home if needed. I also live near both Bute park and Roath park which is handy for lovely long walks. I have a fenced garden and large living areas which can accommodate dogs of all sizes ! There are no other pets within the home and no children present. I live with other dog lovers and the house is quiet and calm.
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.
“Agreed to look after our dog late on a Sunday! Thanks, Rollo can be difficult due to separation anxiety but clearly made him as comfortable as possible. Appreciated the photos during his stay.”
About: I’ve taken care of my family and friends dogs the past few years. I’ve kept pups happy with walks, playtime and loads of attention. I can create a calm and happy environment, making sure pups feel safe and entertained!! I am finished for university for this year as my exams are finally over!! I have no regular commitments at this time and happy to be flexible ! I treat every dog with lots of care, attention and a safe environment. Walks are safe and controlled, sticking to your god’s tailored routine. You can expect plenty of updates if you would like and ensure your dogs as comfortable as possible !!
“Willow is an absolutely wonderful sitter and made our trip to Cardiff so much easier! Despite us being late every single day for pick up for various reasons, she was super reassuring and the photos of Dillon utterly conked out asleep all snuggled up made us feel super secure each day. Dillon also adored flatmate Ffi, so he couldn't have been happier! Highly recommend!”
“Emily his absolutely amazing !!! Yogi had the best time with her!! She gives updates throughout the day and I know that my dog is in the best of hands with her. Yogi is already excited to rebook again!!”
About: I’m a caring and reliable animal lover with hands-on experience looking after my own cat his name is “Darwin”for the past 2 years. Through spending time dog walking with friends who own dogs, I’ve become comfortable handling dogs on walks, keeping them active, safe, and happy. I enjoy spending time with animals and understand the importance of patience, attention, and making pets feel comfortable and cared for. I’m currently a student, so pet care fits well into my weekly routine. I’m available from Wednesday to Sunday between 9am and 6pm. I enjoy going on morning walks, which makes dog walking something I genuinely enjoy as part of my day. I’m organised with my schedule and able to give pets attention, care, exercise, and companionship throughout the time they’re with me. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they’re with me. I’m patient, gentle, and attentive to each pet’s needs, whether that’s playtime, walks, feeding, or simply keeping them company. I understand how important routines are for pets and will always follow the owner’s instructions carefully to make sure their pet feels happy and secure.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and been the primary Walker. I’ve moved away from the family home and therefore would love to have an opportunity to walk and look after other dogs. I work from home 4 days out of 5 every week. I have very good flexibility with my working week and therefore I am free most days and times. I always ensure that any pet is well looked after and comfortable and given space as being overbearing can often lead to stress with dogs. I also never reinforce bad behaviour with treats etc to try and distract.
“Helen looked after my two boys for the day and was absolutely amazing, they had a lovely time and I got regular updates. I would whole heartedly recommend for anyone wanting a caring and competent fairy dog mother!”
“Lisa was amazing with my nervous pup and if dogs could talk I’m sure mine would have said she’d had a lovely day. I had regular pupdates, photos and that was reassuring. Her two dogs were both calm and friendly and It was nice to see my dog was not bothered by them, I feel in time they will all become best buddies. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Lisa.”
“This was my first time using Rover and spent days trying to pick someone to look after Caesar. Rupert was great and sent me an update straight away which was very reassuring. Will be using him again for sure :)”
“Our very energetic Spaniel loved his day with Caitlyn and Edward. Their knowledge and experience with their own family dogs shone through and our dog felt at ease with them instantly! Communication was great and always answered texts quickly. Thanks so much guys, will definitely be booking again!”
Cardiff dog owners share their Rover experiences
Amy and her partner were super friendly and flexible, and really great with my 6 month old puppy. Their dog Rui is a small spaniel who is very friendly and a calming energy to my dog's bouncy presence! Amy was very responsive, flexible on pick up and drop off times and a last minute cancellation, and even took my dog on a little walk on the last day also free of charge. Easy to park by their house, which is clean and set up well for dogs. Would definitely book again!
Sophia has been fantastic so far. We’ve used her a couple of times for my little puppy and she’s been so accommodating! This is the first time I have left Henry with anyone and Sophia has been great and made me feel so much better about leaving him. She’s been great and flexible with timings. Provides updates and reassures me he’s ok and having a nice time. Really grateful for her ☺️
This was the first time using a dog sitter for our puppy so obviously felt slightly anxious, however the regular updates from Sucheta out my mind at rest. It was obvious that Rusty was having a great day and being looked after well. I have already booked again for him to board during our holiday knowing he is not just being cared for, but made to be at home. I have no hesitations in recommending Sucheta and family and so thankful we found her.
Rachel had been recommended to us by another sitter on this app when we were looking for a short notice sitter. She was very responsive, took great care of Oscar and was flexible around our request. Our Oscar had a great time with Rachel and came back relaxed and happy.
Thanks so much Fionn for doing a fabulous job of looking after Herbie during doggy day care. She was very communicative and we arranged a meet and greet in advance, where she asked lots of thoughtful questions. She gave regular and thorough updates on the day, and sent some great pictures. Would thoroughly recommend and will definitely be booking again for doggy day care :)
I booked Winston in with Danah last minute for 2 days of day care. Winston had a lovely time. Danah was brilliant with providing updates and also administered eyedrops for me in the day which was really helpful. I would recommend her and would happily book Winston in with her again.
Joanna was so friendly and just brilliant with Freddie. Joanna sent me photos of their walk. He must have been enjoying himself as Joanna sent me a photo of Freddie paddling. Its the first time he has ventured into the water. Normally he stands on the edge and watches. Thank you for taking such good care of Freddie.
Kincso has been absolutely wonderful with our 10 month old black Labrador Frodo this week! They have taken him out for long periods of time and he has had lots of fun and exercise in their company! Frodo has loved his time there and comes home super sleepy after a lovely busy day. Also lots of photos are sent throughout the day which we really appreciate. We will most definitely book in with Kincso in the near future ☺️
Willow is an absolutely wonderful sitter and made our trip to Cardiff so much easier! Despite us being late every single day for pick up for various reasons, she was super reassuring and the photos of Dillon utterly conked out asleep all snuggled up made us feel super secure each day. Dillon also adored flatmate Ffi, so he couldn't have been happier! Highly recommend!
