“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.”
“We are delighted to have found Jackson to look after our dog. From the moment we met Jackson, we knew we had found the right person to look after our young dog.. Our dog is a little nervous when meeting new people but Jackson has got a calm persona and experience with dogs and it didn’t take long for Rupert to trust him. Jackson is also very accommodating and It was lovely to have updates and photos throughout the day. . We’ve already booked for another day care with Jackson and I’m sure Rupert will drag me to Jackson’s front door 😀. I would highly recommend Jackson in a heartbeat.”
“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!”
“Athena loved going to spend the day with Rachel. Rachel invited us to a Meet & Greet first where she got to spend some time with Athena and discuss her routine, commands and general behaviour. This meant their first day together was smooth, with Rachel updating me throughout with pictures. We will be using Rachel's services again and highly recommend.”
About: I’ve had my dog now 4 years and have raised him from a pup. I’ve used Rover numerous times and I know what kind of sitter I would like to have taking care of my pet and I know I can provide the love, attention and care needed to make sure your baby is safe in my company You can expect a tailored and regular scheduled time to hang out, go for walks at the local parks. Lots of attention provided! We are very active and ratio about 3 to 4 walks a day as we enjoy getting out into the fields and enjoying the day. I provide dog walking, check ins at your residence if needed and I can offer doggy day care and overnight care. I’m available for all kind of specific needs your pet needs.
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 grown up with dogs and been the primary Walker. I’ve moved away from the family home and therefore always keen for opportunities to walk and look after other pets. I work on a hybrid basis and therefore typically have good availability to dog sit and dog walk throughout the week. I’m happy to have a conversation if there’s certain timings for pet care or schedule that works best for you. I always ensure that any pet is well looked after and comfortable in the pet owner or my home and they’re given full attention. I only walk and care for one dog at a time so each dog gets my full attention and there's no risk of dogs not getting along.

“Fionn is a dream dog sitter.River has been to stay with her twice now, and has had the best time!Fionn picked River up on time, and gave me little updates and pics throughout the day to make me feel at ease.I felt comfortable knowing she was in safe hands.I will definitely use Fionn again in the future.”
About: I love volunteering at the Dogs Trust and taking care of my friends’ rescue breeds. I am a friend to every dog breed and temperament. The Dogs Trust has given me a good understanding of dog behaviour and safe handling. I would be keen for a quick meet and greet to understand your dog’s needs and personality. I have a calm nature and take great care of animals. Not afraid to get muddy and wash clean! I am very flexible as I am not working at the moment. I have been recovering from long covid and would like the opportunity to get out and about. I sing with an A Cappella group every Tuesday evening and like to spend time board gaming with friends Update: as my housemate is slightly allergic it’s unlikely that i can host dogs in my living room for long but my patio garden and bedroom are more than fine. If you prefer for me to stay at yours this is an option too. Matching your dog’s playful/cuddle nature, I can keep them entertained! If hosting I would take your dog for a stroll round Roath park. If you can provide their usual food that’s great but I’m happy to source and prepare if hosting for multiple days. I have a comfy living room with pets allowed on the sofa (no crate) and a walled patio garden too. I’d make sure to set up a comfy zone for them to relax with company and any of their favourite blankets you can provide would be great!
“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!”
“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.”
“We'll definitely be back. I needed day care for Tirion as I was at a whole-day conference near to Eden's home. I was super impressed with Eden's communications and her friendly style. A former dog owner, she was clearly dog-orientated and made a big fuss of Tirion when we initially met for a chemistry check. I was very happy to leave her with Eden and they had a couple of walks. In true Tirion style, she also slept all afternoon next to Eden (instead of her bed). I'm more than happy and would recommend Eden as an experienced walker, sitter etc.”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, I work from home, so can easily accommodate. I live near some lovely parks, happy to pop out for walks or toilet breaks.

Cardiff dog owners share their Rover experiences
Anna was absolutely fantastic with Milo today. From the moment we met her, it was clear how much she and her husband genuinely loves and understands dogs and welcomes them into their home as part of the family. Milo had the best time playing non-stop with Bruce, and it was wonderful to know he had such great company throughout the day. Anna was incredibly attentive, keeping a close eye on his water intake and toilet breaks, and making sure he was comfortable and settled. We especially appreciated the regular photo updates, which gave us real peace of mind and showed just how happy Milo was. It was also lovely to see how caring she was during his rest time, ensuring he was comfortable and never far from her. Anna is warm, personable, and clearly passionate about providing the very best care. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter, especially for miniature Daschund’s.
Amelia was great with Bobbi. She was very friendly, flexible with arrangements, and kept us updated throughout his stay. It was clear he was happy and well looked after—so much so that he didn't seem particularly keen to leave when I came to collect him! We'd be very happy to use Amelia again in the future. Thanks again!
Bron was wonderful with Bobbi. She arranged to meet him beforehand, which was a lovely touch and made us feel really comfortable leaving him with her. The photos and updates throughout the day were great, and it was obvious he was having a fantastic time. We'd happily leave Bobbi with Bron again and would thoroughly recommend her.
Sophie was accommodating throughout and Murphy seemed to enjoy his time there. I was quite anxious about the situation as Murphy is a rescue and has only been with us just over 2 weeks, so it's a relief to know he was safe. The only thing that would have improved it would have been a couple of pictures of Murphy during the sitting to put me at ease. Thank you Sophie.
Excellent care of our cockapoo, lots of photos and videos, home from home setting, lots of walks and attention perfect. It was such a worry for us as he was not used to being away from home. Amar is so kind and gentle even letting him sleep on the bed which he is used to at home. Thank you so much Amar.
I highly recommend Helen and her partner. They will always be the first choice if they are available. Reggie loves them both and gets so excited whenever he sees them. They send lots of updates and photos during his stays. They clearly gave him a lot of walks and attention, as he came home completely shattered and ready for a good sleep.
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 ☺️
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.
