Top-rated Cardiff house sitters

“Excellent communication and extremely friendly. Melissa did a fantastic job of looking after Jasper in our home for a morning sit. He was well looked after and sad to see her go! Thank you for your excellent care”


“Thank you so much Lisa, we were a bit anxious about leaving our fur baby with someone we didn’t know and for the very first time. However our fears were forgotten the minute you walked in the door, Louis absolutely loved you, you provided us with updates and he was so relaxed and content when we got back, it was wonderful. We wouldn’t hesitate to leave him with you again if we are ever in the area. Once again thank you so much.”


“Myya was wonderful with my boy Dusty! He can be quite a handful as he’s big and energetic but she seemed to have handled him beautifully. I had plenty of updates of all the fun they had together and my house was left in immaculate condition. Will definitely be reaching out to Myya again!”


“Ashley was very accommodating fitting us in at short notice. He took brilliant care of our 2 dogs and 2 cats, sending daily updates and pictures from walks. We got back to a very happy household.”


“Poppy was truly incredible. She looked after my spaniel, Rupert, alongside my Mother's lhasa apso whilst I was getting married. Poppy came for a meet and greet which went really well, and we later booked her for a couple of nights. Without hesitation, Poppy made herself avaliable for an additional night by request, and I will be forever grateful for that. We truly felt Rupert was in safe hands with Poppy, and the moment she arrived, both of the dogs were overjoyed and incredibly excited to see her. They clearly had a wonderful few days upon our return, and were both very happy. We are able to trust Poppy wholeheartedly, and we are so happy that we have found someone who our dog absolutely adores! I wouldn't hesitate to book Poppy again, and she will most certainly be coming back for some more spaniel cuddles! Thank you so much Poppy- you've been amazing!!!”


“Ashleigh was absolutely incredible with our dogs. I'm so protective of my dogs but completely trusted Ashleigh. She was so good with them, followed their feeding schedule took them out for walks and sent loads of photos! Would recommend her to anyone!”


“Sophie was lovely. Communicated well before and during the sit. Kept me updated with pics and most importantly took the best care of my fur babies. Returned to happy pets and tidy house. Would happily use again !”


“Amazing service!!! I seen another review that said Abigail was a natural with dogs and its completely true! She came and dog sat/walked my two greyhounds and from the moment they met her they absolutely adored her! She was on time and communicated throughout her whole stay, sending me pup-dates that really put me at ease. I was nervous as one of my dogs is rather big but Abigail handled him like a 'walk in the park'. What a lovely girl, she'll always be welcome at our house and I'll be booking again soon!”


“Hannah was great. Super friendly and accommodating, asked questions and followed my instructions perfectly. I returned home to a very happy pup! I'll definitely be using Hannah as a sitter in future.”


“My little Daphne is obsessed with Hayley. Her little tail wags as soon as she sees her Hayley knows so much about animals and really takes care of Daphne We are hoping this becomes a regular thing”


About: Hi, I’m Han, a dedicated dog lover with 5 years of personal experience as a dog owner, as well as years of caring for friends’ and family’s dogs. I understand how important it is to find someone you trust to look after your dog – and I treat every dog as if they were my own. Whether your pup loves long walks or prefers lazy snuggles on the sofa, I tailor my care to suit their personality and routine. I enjoy being outdoors in all kinds of weather, so your dog will always get the exercise and fresh air they need. I’m also experienced in administering medication, and always follow your instructions carefully to ensure your dog’s health and comfort. From energetic puppies to laid-back seniors, I’m flexible and happy to offer a range of dog sitting options, including drop-in visits, walks, or extended stays. If you’re looking for someone reliable, caring, and genuinely passionate about dogs, I’d love to help care for your four-legged friend. I’m available on weekends to provide pet sitting services. I tailor my schedule to meet your pet’s individual needs, ensuring they stay comfortable and well cared for in your absence. During the week, I offer morning and evening visits for feeding and care. I work from 8am–6pm, so I can schedule visits around those hours to best suit your pet’s routine. If you have any specific requests or special care requirements, feel free to let me know – I’m happy to be flexible and will do my best to accommodate your needs. I’m happy to discuss your pet’s specific needs and create a care plan that suits them best. With experience caring for a wide variety of pets, I’m adaptable and confident in providing attentive, reliable care in your home.

“Absolutely amazing service! Couldn’t recommend more! I have 4 animals 2 cats and 2 dogs all with their own little quirks and needs and Rachel managed to keep all four of them happy whilst keeping me updated throughout my holiday also kept my house super clean and tidy! We will definitely be booking Rachel again! Thank you so much 💕”


“Not even sure to start with how pleased we are we've found Morgan. It can be really tricky with a reactive dog but we have been really impressed throughout the process - from initial contact through to our meet up and then the booking itself. Bonnie seems to have warmed to her really well and we felt very confident leaving her with Morgan!”


“Charlotte took excellent care of Obi whilst we were away, and kept us regularly updated with photos and messages. She left the house in an immaculate condition and we wouldn't hesitate to book her again. I especially appreciated that she came around before the booking to meet Obi and get to know him before we went, so that he felt comfortable with her.”


“Chickoo had a wonderful time with Amar! We received lots of photos and videos throughout the stay, and it was clear that Chickoo was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Amar showed genuine affection and attentiveness. We would definitely recommend him!”


“We've been trying to find someone to take care of our elderly and disabled staffy and cat for a while and obviously as anxious pet parents we wanted to get the right person. Elise did such a great job of looking after them both while we were away for a week - a long time to be away from my babies! But she sent daily updates and was always quick to reply. There was also a heatwave while we were away which was worrying because Kai is an old boy but she did such a great job of looking after him I felt he was in very good hands! He also has a medication schedule that needs to be followed which wasn't an issue for Elise at all! Will absolutely be booking her for any future trips!”


“We had a great experience with Angel. She clearly has a kind and caring nature, and she connected with Rocco right away. She took excellent care of him, paying close attention to his needs and routine. She was very thoughtful about his energy level and made sure he got plenty of long walks, which he absolutely loved. On top of taking excellent care of our pup, she was also very respectful of our home, flexible and communicative. We got regular updates during her stay. Highly recommend!”


“Holly was fantastic with my 12yr old cocker spaniel Mabel. She came to meet her first, fully reassured Mabel would be having great care whilst I was away. Holly is reliable and trustworthy and clearly absolutely loves dogs. I came home to a spotless house, left it clean and tidy. Would highly recommend.”


“Lydia looked after my 6 year old Lab for a couple of nights. She updated me with photos and Archie was very chilled and happy when we got home. He had obviously been on his best behaviour as she described him as “perfect”! I would happily recommend Lydia and ask her to sit Archie again.”


About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was a child. Neighbours, friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and look after their dogs. I am experienced with large dogs (having a husky/golden retriever cross) and I go on long walks every day. I am currently taking a break from employment. I was a solicitor but want a career change. As I love animals, and used to board dogs for others back in Wales, I decided to use Rover again. Due to me living in a flat in central london, I am only offering home boarding or day care at dog owners properties and dog walking.

Elisa J.
“Elisa is a wonderful, caring person, and the perfect girl to be taking care of your furry members of the family. Her kindness and patience alone lend themselves to being an excellent pet caregiver; this is evident in the way she spoils her own pets with treats and attention - not to mention she can't even help but crack a huge smile whenever she merely walks past a dog... You'd be hard pressed to find a more responsible and kind hearted person than her.”
